Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 16 Outstanding Military Achievements

Uchiha Gen jumped down from the tree and retrieved the shuriken he had launched into his ninja tool pouch.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara had witnessed this scene before, and they were still amazed at how frugal they were, not at all like geniuses from wealthy families.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Gen explained that it was a unique shuriken and kunai throwing technique of the Uchiha clan, and that not retrieving it would be a waste of his soul.

Even though it's a low-level Homie, every little bit helps.

"Let's go, continue."

Uchiha Gen darted away, followed by Kakashi and Nohara Rin, forming a triangular formation.

Soon, two Cloud Village ninjas appeared in front of them and fearlessly charged towards the three of them.

Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent!

The two Cloud Village ninjas immediately formed hand seals and used ninjutsu. Each of their hands was covered with blue and white lightning, and four lightning snakes shot out.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!

Uchiha Gen swiftly formed hand seals, spewing out balls of golden-orange flames. The scorching flames collided with the raging lightning, creating a series of explosions and shockwaves that swept outwards.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara suddenly leaped up, swinging their shuriken and kunai from their high position.

The two Cloud Village ninjas were enveloped in blue and white lightning chakra, their speed suddenly increased, and while enduring the shockwave, they also avoided the kunai and shuriken.

Lightning Release Armor is not a particularly advanced ninjutsu, but rather a B-rank ninjutsu, which many ninjas in Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) possess.

However, like the Eight Gates, it is an extremely difficult skill to master, requiring extraordinary talent. Not everyone can reach the level of the Third or Fourth Raikage.

In Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage's family physique is the most suitable for the Lightning Release Armor.

The Third Raikage had mastered the Lightning Release Armor to its fullest extent, enabling him to withstand thousands of attacks and even go toe-to-toe with Tailed Beasts and exhaust their stamina—he was simply superhuman!

The Fourth Raikage was faster, but his overall strength was not as good as the Third Raikage.

The Eight Gates Formation has a stronger burst of power and a higher ceiling, but it cannot match the Lightning Armor in terms of sustained defense.

What is most important to a man?

lasting!

In his previous life, what Uchiha Gen wanted most was the physique of the Third Raikage. With that physique, he wouldn't need to work hard; he could just live off a woman and reach the pinnacle of life.

Seeing the enemy charging towards him with murderous intent, Uchiha Gen calmly dodged backward and formed hand seals in the air.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

A wisp of fire spewed from his mouth, transforming into a golden-orange wave of fire under the control of chakra. The fire scorched the leaves, ignited the trees, and distorted the air.

Two Cloud Village ninjas avoided the center of the most powerful fire wave, relying on their Lightning Release armor to break through from the edge of the fire wave, attacking from the left and right.

Seeing that Kakashi and Rin Nohara's view was obscured by flames after they landed, Gen Uchiha had a sudden thought.

The next moment, Zhu Rong flew out from his left forearm, his small dragon mouth opened, and a wisp of fire merged into the fire spewed out by Uchiha Gen.

In an instant, the orange-yellow flames transformed into golden flames, the temperature suddenly increased by 100 degrees Celsius, and the fire waves suddenly extended to both sides, with no difference in power between the center and the edge.

"Ahhh..."

The two Cloud Village ninjas' half-baked Lightning Release armor was burned away by the flames, and the surging flames instantly engulfed them, their screams shrill and high-pitched.

Zhu Rong turned his arm, the flames dissipated, and two charred, steaming corpses fell from the tree, the air filled with a nauseating stench of burning flesh.

In this situation, the Substitution Jutsu is completely useless. The Substitution Jutsu is not a space-time ninjutsu, but a disruption technique that makes the enemy mistakenly believe that they have successfully attacked, thus giving them an opportunity to counterattack.

The Substitution Technique is merely a basic ninjutsu learned at ninja academies. It is practically useless among mid- to high-level ninjas, as they lack eye techniques and sensory abilities, making it easy for them to see through it.

In mid-to-high-level battles, various clone techniques are usually more useful, with the most advanced being Shadow Clone and Wood Clone.

Looking at the raging fire that shot into the sky, Kakashi and Rin couldn't help but subconsciously compare it to Obito's Fire Release techniques...

Although their relationship was much deeper, it must be said that their fire techniques were not on the same level.

This level of fire jutsu is so powerful that even an ordinary Jonin cannot completely block it with the Water Release: Water Wall technique, unless they take advantage of the terrain.

Seeing this, Uchiha Gen revealed a satisfied smile.

A Cloud Ninja with this level of strength is at least a Special Jonin. Taking down two at once is quite impressive.

With the Cloud Hidden's conspiracy foiled, the large-scale war will come to an end, and at most, small-scale local conflicts will continue.

He aims to be promoted to Jonin before the end of the Third Shinobi World War.

One reason is that it is much more difficult to become a Jonin during peacetime, and they don't want to waste that time.

Secondly, he needs to establish a voice within the Uchiha clan, not a voice at the genius level, but a voice at the level of a pillar of the clan, like a genius Jonin.

Only with such influence could his words be taken seriously by the Uchiha leadership.

During this period of war, he has been the secondary carry, and Kakashi has stolen most of the limelight. Now it's time for him to show off his skills in front of the Konoha ninjas.

"Kakashi, Rin, let's go."

After shouting, Uchiha Gen bypassed the sea of ​​fire, and the three of them charged towards the Cloud Ninja to support the Konoha ninja.

clang!

Just as a Konoha ninja was about to be pierced through the chest by a Cloud Ninja, Uchiha Gen arrived in time and deflected the Cloud Ninja's attack with his ninja sword.

Looking up, he met Yunren's gaze. The powerful illusion instantly disoriented Yunren, and Uchiha Gen stabbed Yunren through the chest with a backhand.

"Thanks."

The rescued Konoha ninja was slightly taken aback, then offered his thanks.

"You're welcome, we're from the same village."

After leaving behind a message, Uchiha Gen headed to another battleground.

"Get out of the way!"

The Konoha ninjas quickly retreated upon seeing reinforcements arrive.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

A golden-orange fire dragon, or more accurately, a fire dragon's head, spewed from Uchiha Gen's mouth, distorting the air and rapidly increasing the temperature wherever it passed.

The Cloud Village ninja were shocked by what they saw and immediately unleashed their fastest speed to dodge. However, the fire dragon, under the control of Uchiha Gen's chakra, seemed to have gained sentience.

To be precise, the Sharingan predicted the Cloud Ninja's hiding place, and the Cloud Ninja seemed to deliberately run into it to commit suicide.

"Ahhh..."

A piercing, high-pitched scream rang out as the fire dragon slammed the Cloud Ninja to the ground, sending dirt flying and flames billowing, instantly burning him to a crisp.

"Wow...that's amazing."

Seeing his opponent, whom he had been fighting for a long time, eliminated by a single ninjutsu, the Konoha ninja muttered to himself.

After killing one person, Uchiha Gen left without any hesitation.

Kakashi saw that Uchiha Gen was so energetic and wanted to tell him to slow down because Rin was falling behind, but he swallowed his words back.

Xuan is also a genius, and his brilliance should not be overshadowed by himself.

Let Xuan go; with Xuan's strength, nothing unexpected should happen.

I just need to protect Lin while I deal with the enemy from behind.

After taking down another Cloud Ninja, Uchiha Gen suddenly realized that his teammates hadn't followed, so he looked back.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara, standing a few dozen meters away, nodded in unison when they saw Uchiha Gen looking over.

Uchiha Gen understood, returned a bright smile, and then resumed his support and slaughter.

During the support process, genjutsu is the primary method, with fire jutsu as a secondary method, because genjutsu is relatively more energy-efficient and more effective than fire jutsu.

If you make eye contact with someone with the Sharingan and there are no teammates nearby to help dispel the genjutsu, you're doomed.

Illusionary techniques of the eye type can generally only be broken by having someone else disrupt the flow of chakra.

As time went by, Uchiha Gen gradually became the most dazzling figure on the battlefield, with a very strong presence!

By the time the battle ended, ten Cloud Ninja had died at the hands of Uchiha Gen, along with six Chunin, three Special Jonin, and one Jonin—a truly remarkable feat!

Of the fifty-odd Cloud Ninja advance force, only a handful managed to escape, and they now face pursuit by Konoha ninja on the front lines.

On the other side, Minato Namikaze fought against the AB duo as in the original story, forcing them to retreat.

At this point, Yunyin's chances were completely ruined.
