Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 163 They're all old sixes!

After absorbing Mizuki Tang, Uchiha Gen walked over and pried open Terumi Yang's eyelids. They exchanged a glance, and he was about to absorb her soul and lifespan...

A person in a coma is more likely to be hypnotized than someone who is conscious.

Just before absorbing it, Uchiha Gen suddenly remembered something, temporarily gave up activating the Soul-Soul Fruit, and placed his hands on Terumi's chest to activate the Palm Healing Technique.

The vibrant green light ignored the wounds on the body's surface and penetrated directly into the heart, repairing the most critical injuries.

After a while, Terumi slowly opened her eyes and then met Uchiha Gen's three-tomoe Sharingan.

"State your complete plan."

As one of the Jonin located at the heart of the ambush site, and also a Jonin of the Terumi clan, this guy should know the whole plan, right?

Actually, keeping the captain would have been the safest option, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Teruyo, looking dazed, said, "Our plan is..."

After listening quietly to Terumi's words, Uchiha Gen's expression became quite strange, and he cursed inwardly.

Damn it, the Hidden Mist Village went to such lengths because they were after him...

Obito Uchiha, that idiot, really has a strong desire for revenge.

Didn't you want to recruit him?

Is this how they recruit people?

Is this an attempt to recruit or to make an enemy?

What brain circuits? I really can't figure out Xian'er's brain circuits for a moment.

Normally, recruiting people involves offering tangible benefits like money, attractive women, and power, right?

At the very least, they should at least offer kind words and paint a rosy picture of the future, showing some respect, right?

Where did they learn this recruitment method, which is similar to that of Liangshan Marsh?

Xian Er is not a normal person, he is mentally ill, and this world is not a normal world, it is a pathological world.

Oh, that's okay.

Madara Uchiha recruited Obito, Obito recruited Nagato, and both Obito and Nagato recruited Akatsuki members in ways that don't seem to be normal recruitment methods.

There are too many abnormal people in this world, so it's not surprising that abnormal things happen.

After making a few complaints, Uchiha Gen temporarily put the matter aside and turned to absorb Terumi's soul and lifespan.

They then disposed of the five bodies one by one, leaving behind the Flying Thunder God mark.

The Flying Thunder God Technique cannot be revealed now, otherwise its origin cannot be explained.

After everything was settled, Uchiha Gen activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and quickly returned to the rest area of ​​the supply transfer station.

Take out a map and, with the help of the Flying Thunder God Mark, mark the locations of the corpses with a pen.

After finishing, Uchiha left the rest room and issued a gathering order. Soon, the ninjas he brought and the people from the transit station gathered in the open space.

It was raining, but ninjas weren't young and handsome; they would assemble even if it rained knives, let alone rain.

"Inuzuka Natsumi, step forward."

"Master Xuan."

Inuzuka took a step forward, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully.

"Take this map and lead thirty ninjas to collect the corpses."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen took out a map from his trench coat pocket, handed it over, and then turned and left.

Although Inuzuka Gaku didn't quite understand, as a ninja, he resolutely carried out the mission.

"Yes, mission accomplished."

"The equipment found on the corpses doesn't need to be handed over; whoever collects it can keep it."

Everyone beamed with joy upon hearing this and quickly said, "Thank you, Lord Xuan."

This was an unexpected windfall, especially for a commoner ninja.

The kunai, cell phone sword, and explosive tags can be used by yourself or sold for money.

It would be even better if we could get the armor and chakra tools, especially the chakra tools; getting just one would be like making a small fortune.

If a common ninja were to encounter a high-quality chakra tool, like Asuma's chakra blade, Flying Swallow, it would be a windfall for them.

In addition, if you're lucky, you can get various scrolls, and if you're lucky enough, it's not impossible to get a ninjutsu scroll.

Inuzuka selected fourteen ninjas from the supply depot, put on straw hats, and left the depot in the rain.

Uchiha Gen returned to the rest room, dried his clothes, then went to the warehouse to get some ingredients, and to the kitchen to get a cooking utensil and seasonings. He then asked two ninjas to help with the delivery.

Fifteen minutes later, Uchiha Gen was already sitting at the highest point of the supply transfer station.

There is a dome overhead that shelters you from the rain, a pot of steaming soup and neatly arranged ingredients in front of you, and an open view all around, shrouded in mist and rain, with distant, dark mountains faintly visible, rising and falling.

Alcohol is not among the supplies stored at the supply depot, but there are some beverages available, which are only for high-ranking officers at the front.

Uchiha Gen picked up a piece of white tofu, extended his index finger, and burst forth with wind-style chakra. He made two horizontal cuts and three vertical cuts, then gently tossed the snow-white tofu into the pot.

The tofu was found by Uchiha Gen in the kitchen; it wasn't part of the supplies provided and was made by a genin who knew how to cook.

After a while, Uchiha Gen picked up a piece of tofu, smiled, and muttered to himself, "Eating pickled vegetables and tofu, even the emperor can't compare to me!"

After saying that, Uchiha Gen took a bite of the tender, flavorful, and steaming hot tofu and chewed it slowly.

This dish was one of the famous dishes on Douyin in its previous life, and Uchiha Gen once studied it as well.

Having thwarted the Hidden Mist Plan, avoided massive casualties, and killed so many people, and with more than half of my chakra depleted, it's not unreasonable to enjoy myself a bit, right?

After finishing the tofu, Uchiha Gen added other ingredients to the pot: meat, fish, vegetables, and dried vegetables. He ate with gusto, sweating profusely.

An hour later, after eating and drinking his fill, Uchiha Gen returned to the rest room to recover his depleted chakra.

Another hour later, the ninjas who had gone out returned with corpses, and the supply transfer station suddenly became lively.

Uchiha Gen's chakra had also recovered, so he came to the open space, where thirty corpses were neatly arranged.

"Lord Xuan, this is..."

Inuzuka E approached Uchiha Gen, looking puzzled.

"They are the Hidden Mist ninja who invaded the rear."

"I know, I wanted to ask them how..."

"After everyone's identification, ten of the thirty corpses were Jonin, five were Special Jonin, and the other fifteen should all be Chunin."

Uchiha Gen smiled faintly and said, "Orochimaru and I hunted him down together."

"Isn't Lord Orochimaru on the front lines?"

"What started as a shadow clone is now the real body."

"But why didn't the two gentlemen inform us?"

"We are not afraid to die!"

Uchiha Gen smiled and held up two fingers, saying, "There are two reasons."

"First, the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. Orochimaru and I are capable of hunting them down, so there is no need to add to the casualties."

"These Hidden Mist ninjas are all elites. Although you are also elites, the risk is still a bit greater."

"Secondly, you, now fully rested and recuperating, will be the vital force on the front lines, the power to change the course of events!"

"Take a short rest, then you'll be heading to support the main battlefront. The situation is quite tense right now."

Inuzuka Gaku suddenly understood, and said with a face full of gratitude, "I see, thank you so much, Lord Gen, for considering our needs!"

He knew that Orochimaru, with his temperament, wouldn't consider things that thoroughly, much less think about them in that way.

The other Konoha ninjas were all Orochimaru's former subordinates, so they naturally understood Orochimaru's temperament.

The Konoha ninja who had been paying attention to the conversation looked at Uchiha Gen with gratitude upon hearing this, and was also shocked by the strength of the master and disciple!

The master and apprentice hunted down ten Jonin, five Special Jonin, and fifteen Chunin. Even though the master made up the majority of the kills, they were still extremely shocked.

Moreover, it seems that the vice commander has no signs of injury at all; his strength is simply unfathomable!

Considering Uchiha's age, the Konoha ninja present gradually developed a sense of respect when they looked at Uchiha Gen.

"We are all Konoha ninjas, and you all have families behind you. This is all I can do."

Everyone was deeply moved by what they heard, and their gazes toward Uchiha Gen were filled with reverence.

"Yes, we all have families behind us, but our comrades on the front lines also have families."

"I don't think we need to rest. We're just traveling, it's nothing."

"The earlier we go, the more families will remain intact."

"What do you all think?"

After finishing his reflection, Inuzuka looked around and shouted loudly.

"Wow, as expected of someone who once followed Minato Namikaze, this resolve, this Will of Fire..." Uchiha Gen thought to himself.

The other Konoha ninjas were thrilled by this news, their emotions surging, and they all voiced their support.

Once the commotion subsided, Uchiha Gen smiled and said, "In that case, you may set off. Inuzuka Oku will lead the team."

"I'll be falling behind for a while. Although I wasn't injured, my chakra consumption is too high."

"Once I recover, I will ride my summoned beast to the front lines to support you."

The Konoha ninjas expressed their understanding, bowed, and rushed into the rain-soaked wilderness, showing no signs of fatigue and displaying boundless energy.

After watching the two leave, Uchiha Gen returned to the rest room under the pretext of continuing to recover his chakra, and secretly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to rush back to the front line.

Don't misunderstand, Uchiha Gen just wanted to exchange information and remind Orochimaru not to fight too hard.

If the fighting becomes too intense, the war may end, and he will lose a stable source of soul energy.

Orochimaru also lacked convenient and sufficient experimental materials, and returning to the village would prevent him from conducting research at will.

The master and apprentice are birds of a feather; they're both old hands!
