Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 154 A Dirty World, Dirty Players

Konan felt uncomfortable under Uchiha Gen's gaze and said expressionlessly, "Don't daydream!"

Uchiha Gen chuckled casually and said, "What are you thinking?"

"I just think your clothes are really nice."

"I want it."

Xiao Nan realized she had misunderstood upon hearing this. She looked down at her black robe with red cloud patterns and said coldly, "You can have the clothes."

Although the black robe with red clouds is the new uniform of the Akatsuki, any clothes are relatively easy to imitate. The real way for the Akatsuki to distinguish its members is by their rings.

"Your request can't be that simple, can it?"

Uchiha Gen smiled faintly and said, "Of course it's not that simple."

"I'll take the pale blue paper flower from your temple too."

"In addition, you have to give me financial compensation."

Xiao Nan: "..."

Financial compensation is normal, but what's the meaning of asking for the light blue paper flower in her hair?

Did you take a fancy to her, so you started flirting with her?

Heh, tease her however you want, her heart is already as cold as a blade.

In this life, I have no other desires but to help my comrade Nagato fulfill Yahiko's wish!

"Okay, how much compensation do you want?"

Xiao Nan remained expressionless, her tone still cold and devoid of emotion.

"You can decide how much to pay."

"I'll decide what to pay?"

Konan sounded somewhat surprised. "Is the Uchiha clan really that generous?"

"What else?"

"If I were to value my life, could you afford it?" Uchiha Gen rolled his eyes.

"Shouldn't my life be valued based on my life?"

Sasori of the Red Sand was somewhat puzzled; he was the hostage.

"Dare to compete with me?"

Who do you think you are?

That damned Uchiha brat! He'll definitely get his revenge someday!

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have hesitated...

If he transforms himself into a human puppet, he won't be at a disadvantage in his fight against the woman who recruited him today, and he'll also have a chance to turn the tide against that despicable Uchiha brat.

After escaping, he put the matter of reforming himself on the agenda.

Seeing Uchiha Gen's sincerity, Konan felt she couldn't be too stingy and said, "Can we give you all the money we have?"

"Can."

Ah, my funds!

Sasori of the Red Sand groaned inwardly, but couldn't say anything, since Sasori had emptied his pockets to save him.

The process of making a human puppet is not simple; each step is expensive. Installing various weapons also costs money, as does replenishing weapons and repairing the human puppet.

In any world, you can't get anywhere without enough money.

Seeing that the agreement was reached, Xiao Nan did not hesitate and took off her black robe with red clouds. Underneath the robe, a light purple tight-fitting combat suit wrapped around the girl's curvaceous and graceful body.

He neatly folded the black robe with red cloud patterns, squatted down and placed it on the ground, took out his money and banknotes, and took the light purple paper flower from his temple and placed it on the black robe with red cloud patterns.

"Hey, aren't you being a bit inconsiderate? Do you want me to search you myself?"

Uchiha Gen deliberately put on a high-pitched voice and leaned close to Sasori's ear, his voice sounding somewhat gay.

Although Sasori of the Red Sand didn't know what gay meant, his male instincts made him feel uncomfortable, and he quickly said, "I can do it myself, I can do it myself."

Hahaha……

Seeing Sasori's panicked appearance, Uchiha Gen laughed inwardly without any sense of decency.

When has the mighty Sasori of the Red Sand ever been so flustered in the original work?

"for you."

Sasori of the Red Sand quickly took out the money notes on his body and handed them behind him.

After taking the money, Uchiha Gen asked somewhat suspiciously, "You didn't keep any for yourself, did you?"

"If I find out..."

"Absolutely not!" Sasori of the Red Sand quickly assured him.

"Fine, I'll believe you this once, since you're quite good-looking."

Sasori of the Red Sand was actually a little happy when he heard this.

Uchiha Gen raised his left hand, and wind-style chakra surged in his palm. A suction force enveloped the black robe with red clouds, money, and paper flowers lying on the ground.

Three objects slowly rose from the ground, then were surrounded by invisible currents, and quickly flew into Uchiha Gen's hands.

This incredibly refined control of chakra sent a chill down the spines of Konan and Sasori...

"Alright, you can go now."

Having obtained the item, Uchiha Gen immediately removed the Sky Blade—the Kusanagi Sword—from Sasori's neck.

Sasori flashed and arrived beside Konan.

"If you want it back, you can do it now," Uchiha Gen said with a half-smile.

Xiao Nan remained silent, her expression indifferent.

The loss this time isn't significant. Even if it were, we could just have Scorpion work to pay off the debt later.

Sasori of the Red Sand shook his head and said, "I was careless this time. What's your name?"

Uchiha Gen smiled faintly and said, "Want to get revenge?"

"You're welcome anytime!"

"My name is Uchiha Gen."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor; don't go after the wrong person."

"If you find other Uchiha, you won't be able to bear the consequences, Chiyo's grandson."

Sasori and Konan's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and they were shocked.

"So you are Orochimaru's disciple, one of the Legendary Sannin, one of the twin stars of the Uchiha clan, and the frontline vice commander of Konoha."

"Since you know who I am, you must have recognized the Third Kazekage, right?"

"I could tell at a glance, but the Third Shinobi World War is over, so I couldn't be bothered with it."

"The Sand Village and the Leaf Village are now allies. If you think you can threaten me with the Third Kazekage, you are underestimating me."

"I'm not afraid of the Sand Village's pursuit; they're just providing me with materials for human puppets."

Uchiha scoffed. What was he bragging about in front of him?

No matter how weak Sunagakure is, it is still one of the five great ninja villages. If they are really determined to hunt down a ninja, how many people can avoid going into hiding?

Let alone Sasori now, even Sasori in his prime would be no match for Sunagakure.

A hundred machines conjure up a nation?

They can only destroy small countries that lack the power of ninja villages.

"I can't be bothered to inform Sunagakure of the Third Kazekage's whereabouts."

"I will have Orochimaru use Konoha's S-rank forbidden technique, the Impure World Reincarnation, to summon your parents' souls from the Pure Land and torture them severely."

"As a fellow orphan, could you handle it?"

Sasori of the Red Sand was deeply shaken upon hearing this. His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Uchiha Gen, a chilling killing intent emanating from his entire body.

Xiao Nan frowned, a murderous glint in her eyes, and said coldly, "To desecrate the soul of the dead is utterly despicable!"

"From what you've said, you're an orphan too. How could you do something like this?"

Sasori's killing intent might be very intimidating to ordinary people, but it was nothing more than a gentle breeze to Uchiha Gen.

Stimulated by the killing intent, a terrifying killing intent erupted from Uchiha Gen's body. The terrifying killing intent interfered with reality, and a chilling gust of wind rushed towards the two of them, causing goosebumps to rise all over Konan and Sasori's bodies.

How many people has this guy killed? His killing intent is terrifying...

An ordinary person with a slightly weaker constitution would likely be scared to death, while Chunin and Genin would probably fall into an illusion due to this pure and overwhelming killing intent.

Uchiha Gen smiled faintly and said, "The ninja world is a dirty world, and I am a dirty player."

"A ninja like Sasori, who uses people as puppets and treats human life as worthless, is an even dirtier player than me. Ordinary methods simply cannot intimidate him."

"Fighting fire with fire is the best policy!"

"Besides, all you have to do is obediently come to me, right?"
