Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 161 You fight your way, I'll fight mine!

His hair trembled, his trench coat fluttered wildly, and two-thirds of his soul emerged from the top of his head, then split into seven, shooting out in seven different directions.

The five Jonin who were looking up at Uchiha Gen immediately changed their expressions upon seeing this scene.

"This is bad! Do you guys know what kind of ninjutsu this is?"

Hozuki Crescent Moon lowered his head and looked at the other four people.

Uchiha Genbi was flying quite high, and the five of them had no way to interrupt him. However, none of the five of them were nearsighted, and their eyesight was excellent, so they could see him.

All four shook their heads.

The Spirit Transformation Technique only appeared briefly on Kato Dan.

That was during the Second Shinobi World War, more than ten years ago. Without knowing the records of that war, one cannot recognize the Spirit Transformation Technique.

The soul traveled at lightning speed, and the five Kirigakure Chunin, who had no senses, were unknowingly rushed into their bodies by the soul.

The two sensory ninjas did notice the chakra rapidly approaching them, but noticing it didn't mean they could escape.

The speed was just too fast; my brain could process it, but my body couldn't.

The seven Kirigakure Chunin stiffened almost simultaneously, and a moment later their bodies went limp and they collapsed to the ground.

Although two-thirds of the soul was divided into seven, it was still not something that a few Chunin with normal soul strength but average willpower could resist.

In the battle within the consciousness space, Uchiha Gen was more experienced than anyone else, and thus he seized the souls and lifespans of the seven people in a very short time.

Of these seven, some died from voluntary hypnosis, others from fear, and the two sensory ninjas could only hold on for a little longer.

After killing the seven people, seven streaks of light pierced the sky and entered Uchiha Gen's body.

"Phew...that feels good!"

"Zhurong, land in front of the enemy."

"Yes, Master."

Zhu Rong swam with his dragon body, his feet treading on fiery clouds, and quickly descended, landing on the crown of a pine tree.

The group was now in a pine forest on a slope, having landed at the top of the slope.

Five Kirigakure Jonin who had been observing quickly rushed over, and Uchiha Gen took out five kunai and threw them out.

This time, the five learned their lesson and did not engage in close combat or dodge. Instead, Hagoromo Masayuki threw out five kunai to intercept them, while the other four launched an attack.

The corpse's bones were pierced through ten fingers by a bullet!

Water Gun Double Claw!

Double Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

Bone bullets and water droplet bullets shot through the air at extremely high speeds, their power no less than that of real bullets.

Following closely behind were the water-escape techniques used by Mizuki Tō and Terumi Yō, with water waves reaching ten meters high, surging upwards in a mighty torrent.

Although there was no water at the scene, the air in the Land of Whirlpools was thick with water vapor and fog, and the two of them were proficient in water escaping techniques, so the water escaping technique they used together was quite powerful.

The combined attack of several people would be difficult for an ordinary ninja to deal with, but Zhu Rong simply raised her height slightly and dodged it.

Zhu Rong then continued to increase her altitude, but not very high; her altitude was ambiguous and cunning, just at the limit of her ranged ninjutsu attack.

Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.

Five Kirigakure Jonin landed on the receding waves, splashing water slightly.

Hozuki Crescent Moon raised his head and shouted to the sky, "Is the dignified Vice Commander of Konoha, the genius of the Uchiha clan, only good at hiding in the sky?"

"Come down and fight if you dare!"

Uchiha Gen smiled faintly and said, "The water is your home ground, and the sky is my home ground. Why should I use my weakness against my strength?"

"You guys can fight yours, I'll fight mine."

"Zhurong, Wusheng, begin the bombing!"

"Yes, Master."

The two senior Homies answered in unison, their tone filled with eager excitement.

Explosive Flame Bullet!

Thunder escapes and falls!

Fire Release: Exploding Flame Bullet!

The two Homies do not need to form hand seals, so even if Uchiha Gen's hand speed is at its maximum, the attack will still be delayed by a little time.

Five bolts of blue-white lightning, each as thick as a thumb, struck down from the sky, followed closely by a dozen deep red fireballs that rained down from above.

Fireballs are alright, but what the Mist Ninja fear most is lightning. Water conducts electricity and is also effective against the Hozuki clan's secret water transformation technique.

Ice Release: Ice Crystal Wall!

Mizuki Tang jumped in front of everyone, formed a hand seal, and water vapor condensed in the void, turning into a thick white ice wall. Lightning struck it, creating five small craters and cracks on the surface.

Boom, boom, boom...

The scorching, explosive projectiles slammed into the ice wall, shattering it into pieces in no time, sending up plumes of steam.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

Hozuki Crescent and Terumi simultaneously used a ninjutsu, creating two thick walls of water that blocked all the subsequent fireballs.

Sizzle... As a large amount of water vapor evaporated, the water wall was also blown to pieces.

Corpse Bone Vein Deadly Bone Spear!

Kaguya Gang reached behind his back and pulled out a spine, assuming a throwing stance for the long-haired man. He then threw it out with a loud whooshing sound.

Ascension Secret Technique: Dragon Cannon!

Hagoromo Masayuki sat on the back of a large crocodile, seven or eight meters long, with sea-blue scales all over its body. He formed hand seals, and his chakra merged with the crocodile's chakra, circulating with it.

The crocodile opened its mouth, and the deep blue water inside gathered and compressed, shooting out a jet of water the size of a baby's fist, faster than a bone spear.

Unfortunately, their attacks weren't at a level that Uchiha Gen's Sharingan couldn't detect, and there was a certain distance between them, giving them ample time to react and dodge.

"Up left, right up."

Zhu Rong did as instructed, and the bone spears and water columns missed their mark one after another.

After dodging, Uchiha Gen continued his aerial bombardment strategy, unleashing a torrent of flames accompanied by thunderous roars.

The five Hidden Mist ninjas had no choice but to passively engage in a pure ninjutsu duel with Uchiha Gen.

More and more water was produced, both to deal with Uchiha Gen and to create a favorable illusion, thus conserving chakra.

Flames, thunder, fresh water, and ice crystals collided continuously, causing more and more water vapor to evaporate upwards. The already dim sky grew even darker, and dark clouds began to appear, increasing in number.

For the Hidden Mist Village, the best combat environment, besides the sea, is a rainy day.

Therefore, when the Hidden Mist Ninja carry out important operations, they choose rainy days if possible, followed by cloudy days where it may or may not rain, and lastly, sunny days.

Uchiha Gen himself possessed Kage-level chakra, and with the assistance of Zhu Rong and Wu Sheng, he was the one who consumed less chakra in a one-against-five situation.

In this clash of ninjutsu, the other four ninjutsu-type ninjas could still hold on, but Kaguya Gang, a ninja who mainly used taijutsu and secondarily ninjutsu, gradually began to struggle.

"Captain, I don't have much chakra left," Kaguya said wearily.

Such a battle was utterly disgusting for a ninja like him.

Except for a very few moves, their other moves couldn't hit enemies in the sky at all, so the Corpse Dance Technique, a secret technique passed down by the Kaguya clan, was basically useless.

"Then you should go recover quickly, I'll cover you."

"Also, don't let your guard down. My techniques may not be able to fool the enemy's senses."

Spiritual communication!

As he spoke, Hozuki Crescent bit his thumb, formed a hand seal, and slammed his palm onto the water's surface.

With a bang, white smoke rose, and a large clam appeared. This clam was not as large as the one summoned by the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, but it was still about half the size.

A large amount of dense fog was ejected from the two large nozzles on the giant clam's body. This fog was different from the fog created by ordinary fog concealment techniques.

The dense mist spewed out by the giant clam is filled with the chakra unique to the clam clan, possessing a powerful psychedelic concealment effect.

If one is in the fog and affected, even a white eye cannot see through it.

"clear."

After saying that, Kaguya Gang found a secluded spot, swallowed a soldier's ration pill, and restored his chakra.

Hozuki Crescent Moon's worries were not unfounded; such methods could indeed not deceive Uchiha Gen, who was outside the fog of mystery.

If you are in the fog, inhaling the fog may have some effects.

Sensing Kaguya Gang hiding, Uchiha Gen's eyes darted around, and thoughts raced through his mind.

After fighting for so long, it's time to take one down. Now is the perfect opportunity.

The Thunder Qilin in the sky just needs a little more time to prepare...
