Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 174 With just a slight move, ...

The next morning, after a simple breakfast, Uchiha Gen went out to invite guests to his birthday party and to buy ingredients.

Red, Red Bean, Yugao, and Shisui are all in the village, otherwise Uchiha Gen wouldn't have come back.

Before returning, Uchiha Gen had already done his intelligence work.

No one could refuse Uchiha Gen's invitation.

After purchasing the ingredients, Uchiha Gen intended to relax at home and read a book for a while, but suddenly remembered something. In a flash, he left Konoha Village and arrived in a dense forest outside the village.

It wasn't long before they found their target and appeared in front of it.

"Greetings, Master!"

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the figure, Mu Yi and Mu Er were startled, but after realizing what was happening, they quickly and happily bowed down.

At this moment, Mu Yi and Mu Er were tattered and their black robes were covered in filth, making them unrecognizable from their former selves.

"Okay, take off your clothes, I'll take you home."

"From now on, you'll be in charge of cleaning the house, and you can play in the yard when you have nothing to do."

Uchiha Gen stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly.

"Yes, Master," Mu Yi and Mu Er replied with delight.

Although living in the forest is free and allows them to play anywhere, it is also quite dangerous. If they weren't not prey for carnivores, they would probably have been eaten long ago.

Besides, their lifespans are limited, so following their master is the best option, even though they don't really have a choice...

Mu Yi and Mu Er quickly took off their clothes, revealing their pale, wooden bodies.

Uchiha Gen placed his hands on the heads of the two people, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and disappeared from the spot in the next moment, returning home.

I gave the two wooden figures a set of their old clothes to wear, added some lifespan to them, and then sent them to clean.

In the afternoon, Uchiha Gen began processing the ingredients and making two kinds of hot pot bases. With the help of his shadow clones, his work efficiency was very high.

After a busy period of time, followed by a period of rest, the time passed by in the evening before guests began to arrive.

The first to arrive were Hong, Hongdou, and Xiyan, the three women who came together, each carrying an exquisite gift box.

The three girls have grown a year older, and their appearances haven't changed much, except that their figures have become more graceful and elegant. In particular, Hong and Hongdou have gone from being budding flowers to being quite mature.

The three women were wearing the same casual clothes, only in different colors: Red Bean's was red, Red Bean's was off-white, and Evening Glory's was light purple.

Happy birthday, Xuan.

The three women walked together to Uchiha Gen, holding exquisite gift boxes in their hands, their faces beaming with bright and sunny smiles.

"Thank you, please come in."

Uchiha Gen accepted the gift box, smiled, raised his hand, and stepped aside.

The three women entered the courtyard. Just as Uchiha Gen was about to close the gate, footsteps sounded. Peeking out, he saw Mikoto, Kushina, Shisui, and Itachi arriving together.

Oh, and there's also Big Pillar and Second Pillar, except Big Pillar is in Kushina's arms and Second Pillar is in Itachi's arms.

Kushina was worried about Naruto leaving her sight, and Mikoto was also worried about leaving Sasuke with Fugaku. After discussing it, the two decided to bring them back together.

"mysterious."

"Brother Xuan."

The four greeted Uchiha Gen with smiles, with Shisui and Mikoto each carrying two exquisite gift boxes.

"Come on in since you're here."

After the four entered, Uchiha Gen introduced Kushina to the three Red Trio, while Mikoto and the others needed no introduction.

The three men in red had visited the Uchiha clan's territory more than once or twice. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they were acquainted.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone followed Uchiha Gen into the house. Da Zhu Zi and Er Zhu Zi, who had already eaten and drunk their fill, curiously looked at everyone and their surroundings.

In the living room, Zhu Rong and Wu Sheng were playing and frolicking. Hearing the noise, they did not hide, but became serious.

In the dining room, Mu Yi and Mu Er were setting out cups, chopsticks, bowls, and plates on the round table.

In the center of the round table is a steaming hot pot divided into nine sections, each with a different flavor: spicy soup, soy sauce spicy soup, fragrant spicy soup, mushroom soup, tomato soup, pork bone soup, pickled cabbage soup, Sichuan pepper soup, and seafood soup.

In addition, the round table was filled with chicken, duck, fish, pork, lamb, beef, vegetables, bean products, fruits, and beverages.

There were also prepared ingredients on the platform outside the round table, so there was definitely enough to eat.

Apart from Mikoto and Kushina, the others are not yet adults. The two girls are still breastfeeding and cannot drink alcohol.

Drinking alone is not very meaningful and might even attract criticism, so Uchiha Gen did not prepare any drinks.

Upon seeing the guests arrive, Zhu Rong, Wu Sheng, Mu Yi, and Mu Er, who had been instructed by Uchiha Xuan, all greeted them politely.

"Wow……"

Everyone was amazed, even Mikoto and the others who had already learned about Uchiha Gen's awakening of his second bloodline limit through the Uchiha intelligence system.

After all, hearing about it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

Those who had no access to intelligence were even more astonished.

Although the methods in the ninja world are incredibly diverse, the ability to bring inanimate objects back to life is truly miraculous.

Da Zhuzi and Er Zhuzi were not afraid of this strange scene; instead, they clapped their hands and laughed excitedly.

Kushina and the Yin-Yang Nine-Tails within Naruto's body watched this scene with interest, which reminded them of their own birth process.

After marveling at the sight, everyone put down their gifts and crowded around Zhu Rong, examining him with great curiosity; some even reached out with their groping hands...

There's no way around it, Wusheng is a sword, Muyi and Muer are humanoid wooden figures, while Zhurong's image is a fire dragon, and a miniature one at that, which is really cute and makes people curious and fond of her.

However, Zhu Rong was unwilling to be watched by monkey enthusiasts, and even less willing to be touched. With a flash of red light, she flew upstairs in a flash.

Seeing this, Wusheng followed.

It's worth mentioning that after absorbing the power of Raidaoya, Musei was able to stay in the air for even longer.

"Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future. Let's eat first," Uchiha Gen said with a smile, standing in the dining room.

"Wow……"

Upon seeing the abundant ingredients and the unusual nine-compartment hot pot on the table, everyone exclaimed in amazement once again.

"Xuan, this is really expensive and troublesome. I feel like we got a good deal," Mikoto said with a smile.

"Yes," Kushina agreed wholeheartedly.

Both of them were ninjas and housewives, and they deeply understood how much money was spent on these ingredients and how much effort was put into making different flavored soup bases in the nine-compartment hot pot.

Hong, Hongdou, and Xiyan are all independent girls who can cook. Zhishui also lives alone and can cook. They all nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

As the eldest son of the Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha didn't quite understand, but he nodded in agreement.

"It's a birthday, so just be happy. A little money is nothing," Uchiha Gen said with a smile.

Despite saying that, Uchiha Gen knew in his heart that only in this world could he be so tough.

In my past life, I would only eat a slightly nice meal on my birthday, and I was reluctant to spend too much money, let alone have a birthday banquet.

"Sit down quickly, let's eat and chat."

"This is spicy, mushroom soup, and fragrant spicy..."

"Cook whatever ingredients you like in that pot, don't be shy."

Upon hearing the news, everyone found a seat and sat down. Hongdou, the foodie, quickly took the seat with the most meat dishes.

"Mmm...it's really delicious. Any girl who marries Xuan will be so lucky."

Mikoto picked up a slice of meat from the Sichuan peppercorn-flavored broth, put it between her flesh-colored lips, chewed it, her eyes lit up, and after swallowing it, she exclaimed in admiration.

Others who tried the different flavors also expressed their approval.

Gen Uchiha accepted all the praise without question.

Just kidding, Chinese cuisine is not something to be underestimated.

The food in this world is mainly based on everyday life, with Western influences as a supplement; roasted meat is already considered a top-tier delicacy.

Although he doesn't know many different cuisines, he only needs to make a slight move to create a sensation.

If this were a peaceful and orderly world, with his skills, he could open a restaurant or hotel that would be packed every day, making a fortune and becoming a tycoon in the catering and hotel industry!
