Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 160 The Flying Thunder God Reappears

Ding, ding, ding...

As seasoned veterans, they were not so easily killed. All the targets that were targeted swung their weapons to block or knock away the flying kunai.

Those who resisted harmed themselves, while those who were knocked away harmed their companions.

The next moment, Uchiha Gen's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, flashing past the ten Hidden Mist ninjas. His continuously flashing figure stretched into a black flash, stunning and dangerous!

After flashing continuously, the Uchiha chose to return to the stone, as if they had never left.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Ten screams rang out in quick succession. Under the lightning-enhanced sharpness of the Kusanagi sword, arms were severed as easily as tofu, and crimson blood spurted out, like ten blooming spider lilies!

Uchiha Gen could have killed these ten Kirigakure ninjas by surprise, but if he had, he wouldn't have been able to absorb their souls and lifespans in time.

Therefore, the chosen target is a non-lethal part that can significantly reduce combat power. Without a hand, one cannot form hand seals, and coupled with the excruciating pain, one is essentially rendered useless.

The sudden turn of events stunned the Hidden Mist ninjas who had not been attacked.

"Flying Thunder God Technique! This is the Yellow Flash Flying Thunder God Technique!"

"Everyone, immediately stay away from those kunai!"

The Hidden Mist ninjas near the kunai regained their senses and immediately retreated, their expressions terrified, as if they had seen a ghost.

The Third Shinobi World War hadn't been over for very long, yet the Flying Thunder God Technique was already renowned throughout the shinobi world!

"Retreat immediately! The enemy possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique and holds absolute initiative; the operation is virtually impossible to succeed!"

To restrict a ninja who knows space-time ninjutsu, you would need to set up a barrier that can seal off space beforehand.

A barrier capable of sealing off space is undoubtedly the most advanced and profound barrier in the ninja world; even Kirigakure doesn't possess such a foundation.

After saying that, Hozuki Crescent Moon decisively retreated, and the other Jonin and the seven surviving Chunin followed suit.

As for the eight Chunin whose arms were severed, they were undoubtedly expendable pawns used to buy time.

Seeing this, Uchiha Gen did not immediately give chase, because whether they ran away together or separately, they could not escape his grasp.

"It's a bit of a shame that the performance was interrupted."

"His Flying Thunder God Kunai is much more special than that of the Fourth and Second Generations, and it hasn't been shown yet."

"Why do you have absolutely no fighting spirit?"

"How do you know you can't beat me if you don't try?"

After muttering to himself, Uchiha Gen flashed to the center of the eight kunai and said in a deep voice, "Come back."

"Yes, Master."

Eight almost identical voices rang out, some of them childish, like children's voices. The combination of the eight voices was quite eerie.

The kunai stood up from the ground on their own, with two legs growing out from the edge of the blade. They then ran towards Uchiha Gen in a flash, lined up one by one, and jumped into the open ninja tool pouch in a very orderly manner.

The eight abandoned Chunin stared blankly at this scene, seemingly oblivious to the excruciating pain in their arms.

Fear stems from the unknown, and this incomprehensible scene terrified the eight Chunin.

Coupled with being abandoned and facing imminent death, the eight were so terrified that their souls seemed to leave their bodies.

This saved Uchiha Gen a lot of trouble. He could simply take the opportunity to extract the souls and lifespans of the eight people, so they wouldn't feel fear or pain after they died.

Uchiha Gen then made special arrangements for the eight bodies to prevent the frontline morgue from finding anything unusual in their brains.

The previous ten people did not need to be dealt with, because they were killed instantly, their consciousness collapsed, and their brains would not retain any images of what happened before they died.

After taking care of the situation, Uchiha Gen formed hand seals and used the Spirit Transformation Technique, sending half of his soul into the air.

With their soul perception, they quickly ascertained the situation of the Hidden Mist Ninja.

The Hidden Mist ninjas did not scatter and flee; the twelve of them remained together as they escaped.

Moreover, being extremely cunning, instead of fleeing eastward to the Mist Village frontline camp, they did the opposite, circling around before fleeing westward.

It has to be admitted that Hozuki Crescent Moon is indeed a very good captain.

Previously, seeing that things were hopeless, they did not take any chances and immediately withdrew; now they have done the opposite.

In fact, in order to confuse Gen Uchiha's perception methods, Hozuki Crescent Moon also ordered everyone to use the Shadow Clone Technique to head east.

Ninjas who can use Shadow Clone Jutsu should use Shadow Clone Jutsu; ninjas who cannot use Shadow Clone Jutsu should use Water Clone Jutsu.

However, neither water clones nor shadow clones can separate half of their souls, so they are still nowhere to hide from Uchiha Gen's perception.

It's like giving a flirtatious glance to a blind man...

With his soul returning, Uchiha Gen first used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leap a distance to the west, then mounted Zhu Rong and chased after her at Zhu Rong's fastest speed.

Two minutes later, Uchiha Gen had caught up with the Hidden Mist ninja.

Sakata Jun, who was fleeing westward, exclaimed, his expression changing drastically, "The enemy is catching up! From the sky behind us!"

Upon hearing this, the Hidden Mist ninjas looked back at the sky and saw a figure standing on a dragon's head rapidly approaching. Their expressions changed drastically.

"Damn it, even with two layers of preparation, we still couldn't fool them. Their perception methods are very ordinary!" Hozuki Crescent Moon frowned, his face grim.

Ordinary sensory techniques usually involve sensing chakra.

"Captain, what do we do now?" asked Mizuki Tang.

"We can't escape now; the enemy is faster than us."

"With those summoning beasts carrying us, we don't have to expend chakra or stamina. The more we escape, the weaker our resistance becomes."

"We have no choice but to fight him to the death!"

Ghost Lantern Crescent gritted its teeth, its eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Hozuki Senjin and Hozuki Yuzo both died at the hands of Konoha ninjas. Since they can't escape, they'll take their share and fight to the death for revenge!

Hozuki Yuzo died at the hands of Uchiha Gen, and Hozuki Senjin died at the hands of Might Guy.

He was one of the first Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the master of Hiramekarei, but he had bad luck and was not among the three lucky ones.

"I agree, what about you?" Mizuki Tang looked around.

Kaguya, Terumi, and Hagoromo exchanged glances and then said in unison, "Agreed!"

"Actually, I didn't want to run anymore."

"I'd only ever heard of the Flying Thunder God Technique before, but this is a rare opportunity to experience it firsthand."

"At worst, we'll just die. The Kaguya clan may fear death, but they never fear dying in battle!" Kaguya Gang, with his rather fierce-looking face, grinned.

"Captain, they won't be of much use staying here. The difference in strength is too great, and they might even be a hindrance. It would be better to let them take the intelligence back."

Mizuki Tang glanced at the Chunin behind her and then offered her advice.

The Chunin from Kirigakure remained expressionless upon hearing this, though many of them secretly rejoiced.

The scene of Uchiha Gen instantly injuring eight people left an indelible shadow in the minds of some Chunin.

"That's fine. Even if we're defeated, we won't be completely wiped out..."

"Total annihilation is utterly shameful!"

"You must scatter and escape immediately. You must bring the intelligence back by any means necessary."

"We'll stay and hold them off."

After saying that, Hozuki Crescent Moon and the others stopped running and stood still.

Upon hearing this, the Chunin from Kirigakure looked back solemnly and said in unison, "We will definitely complete the mission!"

After saying that, the Hidden Mist Chunin turned around and immediately scattered and fled.

Uchiha Gen, high in the sky, simply smiled faintly at the sight.

How could you possibly escape his grasp?

Uchiha Gen formed hand seals...
