Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 167 The Shackles on the Neck

The possessed Kirigakure ninja didn't know where Suigetsu Hozuki lived, but that didn't matter.

There are only so many Jonin-level souls among the ninjas on the Hidden Mist front lines, so we'll find the Jonin with the strongest souls.

Furthermore, given the status of Commander Suigetsu Hozuki, his residence in this secure war fortress must be quite special.

By filtering using both conditions together, we can basically determine the location of Suigetsu Hozuki.

The soul passed through the walls and soon arrived at a room at the very top of the fortress. It was a suite, complete with all living facilities except for a kitchen.

It was already late at night, and the lights in the room had long been turned off. Only some moonlight filtered through the window, and the sound of snoring was deafening in the bedroom.

Passing through the wall into the bedroom, a burly, somewhat overweight figure lay supine on the bed, covered with a thin blanket.

Having confirmed his target, Uchiha Gen's soul transformed into a stream of light and entered the body of Suigetsu Hozuki.

When you sleep, your body rests and your consciousness rests. Even when you are dreaming, it is only your subconscious that is in control. Therefore, Uchiha Gen took control of Suigetsu Hozuki's body without breaking a sweat.

Losing control of his body, the dormant main consciousness of the Water Spinach Pufferfish Demon instantly awakened, but his body still couldn't wake up, as if he were being paralyzed by a ghost.

In the gloomy and oppressive space of consciousness, Uchiha Gen's figure suddenly appeared in front of the awakened consciousness of Suigetsu Hobutsuki.

"We meet again, Great Pufferfish." Uchiha Gen smiled slightly and said politely.

And I must say, the pufferfish really does look quite similar to the size of the Suigetsu Pufferfish Demon.

"Uchiha Gen?"

"What are you doing here?"

"What did you do to me?"

Suigetsu Hozuki didn't care about the nickname given to him by Uchiha Gen. The green stripes on his face trembled, and he looked extremely shocked. As he spoke, he subconsciously assumed a fighting stance.

How did I get here?

"As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate."

"Your Kirigakure plotted an operation against me, so naturally I'm going to retaliate."

"As the commander of the Hidden Mist Front, you are naturally the best target for revenge."

"As for what I did to you..."

"It's nothing."

"It just means I've taken over control of your body."

You can't even control your body anymore, and that's not a big deal?

Hearing Uchiha Genvalzae's words and sensing a deadly crisis, Suigetsu Hozuki launched an attack. His orange hair suddenly swelled up, standing on end, and a dense, rain-like Thousand Needles Rain was ready to be unleashed...

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Uchiha Gen said calmly, his eyes transforming into three-tomoe Sharingan, instantly interrupting the spellcasting. His swollen, hardened hair quickly shrank and softened.

The Magical Shackles Technique!

The next moment, the gloomy and oppressive gray consciousness space was covered in blood red, and a blood-red moon emerged from behind Uchiha Gen. Three rusty iron nails pinned down Suigetsu Hozuki, restricting his movements while causing him waves of excruciating pain.

The battle in the consciousness space is not influenced by external combat factors; there are only three influencing factors here.

First, soul strength; second, willpower; third, chakra quality.

Of these three things, aside from willpower, which I can't speak for, Uchiha Gen was overwhelmingly powerful in the other two!

As a modern time traveler, it's unrealistic to try and outdo the ninjas of this world in willpower; the difference in their living environments is too great.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, its face contorted in pain, struggled desperately, but could not escape his control. Finally, with a dejected expression, it asked, "What do you want?"

Uchiha Gen held up two fingers, a smile on his face, and said, "I'll give you two choices. The first is death."

"You should know my abilities. Once you die, you won't even have the chance to go to the Pure Land. You will completely disappear from this world."

"The second is to submit to me and serve me thereafter."

Make your choice.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon hurriedly said, "I don't want to die yet, I surrender, I surrender."

Uchiha Gen's smile deepened, and regardless of whether Suigetsu Hozuki was sincere or not, he made a move.

In reality, the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, threw off the covers, and formed hand seals.

"What are you going to do?"

In his consciousness space, Suigetsu Hozuki had a bad feeling and asked, pretending to be calm.

Although Suigetsu Hozuki cannot control his body, his main consciousness has not been extinguished, so he can perceive the movements of the outside world.

"It's just putting a shackle around your neck," Uchiha Gen said with a meaningful smile, raising an eyebrow.

In reality, using the chakra of Suigetsu Hozuki, Uchiha Gen created the Flying Thunder God Seal and imprinted it on Suigetsu Hozuki's thick neck.

Mysterious and complex black patterns appeared, like a tattoo, before disappearing again.

The Flying Thunder God mark is extremely difficult to remove. In the original work, the mark that Minato Namikaze left on Obito on the night of the Nine-Tails' death even played a role in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Even Obito Uchiha, who was proficient in the space-time ninjutsu Kamui, couldn't remove the Flying Thunder God mark, let alone anyone else.

"Please wait a moment."

In the space of consciousness, Uchiha Gen, having finished speaking, released the shackles, and Suigetsu Hozuki, now free, dared not make any rash moves.

In the Konoha camp, in the tent where the vice commander was resting, Uchiha Gen's other half of his soul received a signal through the connection between their soul cores.

Activating the Flying Thunder God Technique, traversing countless spaces, Uchiha Gen instantly appeared in Suigetsu Hozuki's bedroom.

The Watermelon Mountain Fugu, who witnessed this scene in his consciousness space, was instantly stunned.

Are the Mist Ninjas inside and outside the fortress really that useless, given that the complex barrier set up by the fortress is so ineffective?

"I've left the incantation for the Flying Thunder God Technique on your neck. With this coordinate, no matter where you hide, I can appear in front of you at any time."

"The technique has penetrated the skin and seeped into the flesh. Unless you want to die, you'd better not move."

"Of course, you can try other methods to remove the spell. I don't mind; you're welcome to try."

In the space of consciousness, Uchiha Gen explained with a smile.

He didn't care whether the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon truly submitted or not; with this technique, he could take its life at any time.

Upon hearing Uchiha Gen's explanation, Suigetsu Hozuki's heart sank into an abyss, his expression shifting wildly as he struggled intensely within himself.

If a few years pass, Suigetsu Fuguki will definitely not struggle anymore, because by then Obito will have already caused great harm to Kirigakure.

Obito is only just beginning to wreak havoc. Suigetsu Hozuki has a certain sense of belonging to Kirigakure and is also somewhat loyal to Yagura.

However, Suigetsu Hozuki's true nature is to prioritize himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have done something like betraying his own village's information for personal gain in the original story.

After struggling for a moment, Suigetsu Hobutsuki made up his mind and said dejectedly, "You win. I'll really listen to you from now on."

"Don't look so sad."

"Those who understand the times are the heroes, and you are one of them."

"You'll definitely be glad you made this choice in the future," Uchiha Gen said with a smile.

"I'm somewhat convinced."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon spoke with a sigh.

"You've been hiding it well. I was wondering how the reinforced squad was completely wiped out..."

"Now that I've seen the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Spirit Transformation Technique, I understand."

"The combination of these two methods is truly impossible to defend against..."

I caught a cold and have a slight fever. I don't have much energy, but I managed to write two chapters. I really can't write anymore today. Please forgive me.
