Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 188 Redemption of Fate

The most luxurious restaurant in Gangmen Town is a Western restaurant. Uchiha Gen, dressed casually as a noble young master, received a warm welcome.

Sitting in a private room on the second floor facing the street, Uchiha Gen slowly cut his steak, sipped his red wine, and occasionally glanced at the various people on the street, enjoying a rare moment of leisure during his midday break.

Uchiha Gen didn't like Western food. He could eat it occasionally, but not often because it didn't suit his taste.

Ten minutes later, Uchiha Gen put a piece of beef in his mouth and chewed it. As usual, he looked down at the street and was immediately drawn to a group of people.

There were five people in the group: three men, one woman, and one child.

The three men were all dressed as ninjas, and the headbands on their foreheads were the symbol of the Grass Ninja Village.

The woman was of medium build, wearing a somewhat dirty and slick brown top and pants. She had a pretty and delicate appearance, with short red hair. The little girl in her arms, who looked to be about two years old, also had red hair.

Red hair is the symbol of the Uzumaki clan. Although there are non-Uzumaki clan members with red hair in the ninja world, this situation basically confirmed to Uchiha Gen that the mother and daughter were descendants of the Uzumaki clan.

Karin Uzumaki and her mother stayed in Kusagakure for a long time, which is consistent with the children's ages.

Karin Uzumaki was born in the same year as Naruto, but was three or four months older, making her two years old at this time of year.

Karin and her mother's abilities are quite unique among the Uzumaki clan.

Not to mention Nagato, even Naruto and other members of the Uzumaki clan with impure bloodlines, and even Kushina Uzumaki, a pure-blooded member of the Uzumaki clan, did not have the abilities of Karin and her daughter.

Kusagakure doesn't deserve such power!

Furthermore, the fate of Karin and her mother was truly tragic.

If we hadn't encountered it, so be it; but since we have, and the ability to do so, we should take care of it.

With that thought in mind, Uchiha Gen stuffed the remaining steak into his mouth with his fork, then quickly finished the other dishes, and finally drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, not wanting to waste any food.

After paying the bill outside the private room, Uchiha Gen followed him directly.

Although there was no one left on the street, Uchiha Gen refused to agree.

He had already memorized the soul aura of the group, and unless they entered another dimension, they couldn't escape even if they fled to the ends of the earth.

After walking through two streets, the group reappeared in Uchiha Gen's eyes.

At this moment, the group was in front of a dumpling shop, where a woman with a pleading expression was saying something...

The little girl sucked on her finger, and although she looked longingly at the red, white and green dumplings, she didn't cry or fuss.

The dumplings are made from glutinous rice. The red ones contain red beans, the white ones are plain, and the green ones contain mung beans. There are also other flavors available.

The leader, Kusanagi, looked impatient and grumbled under his breath, but in the end, he still took out his wallet and bought two skewers of rice balls.

The two girls each held a skewer of rice balls, took a bite without hesitation, and chewed with happy expressions.

Just as she was about to take a bite, the little girl suddenly stopped and held the skewer of dough to the woman's mouth.

The woman's throat bobbed, but she still smiled and shook her head, muttering something...

Lip reading isn't something all ninjas can do, but Uchiha Gen could, and his Sharingan greatly helped him learn it.

The woman said, "Mom isn't hungry."

The little girl didn't pull her hand back, stubbornly holding up the skewer of meatballs. In the end, the woman couldn't resist and opened her mouth to eat one.

The little girl then withdrew her hand and happily ate the last dumpling on the skewer, before holding another skewer to the woman's mouth.

After another struggle, the woman finally gave in and opened her mouth to eat.

One for you, one for me, six dumplings, shared equally between mother and daughter, so everyone can taste them.

After finishing their meal, the mother and daughter couldn't help but smile broadly.

The laughter may have annoyed the leader of the grass ninja, who turned around and glared at the mother and daughter. The two quickly stopped laughing and silently followed behind.

Seeing this, Uchiha Gen felt a pang of sadness.

The dumplings are not a staple food, just a snack. How can two skewers be enough to fill you up?

The fact that this mother and daughter were so happy suggests what kind of life they were living...

Karin's mother was probably an ordinary member of the Uzumaki clan who hadn't awakened any special abilities. She must have awakened her special abilities after the destruction of Uzumaki Village.

Like other bloodline families, not just anyone in the Uzumaki clan can awaken their abilities.

If he were a ninja from the Uzumaki clan, someone who had learned ninjutsu and sealing techniques, he wouldn't have ended up being used as a blood bag for others...

Instead of making a move, Uchiha Gen followed the group and gradually arrived at the outskirts of the sparsely populated town.

"Why are you always following us?"

Since Uchiha Gen made no attempt to conceal his actions, his stalking behavior had already been discovered by the Grass Ninja.

The leader of the grass ninjas turned around expressionlessly. Because Uchiha Gen was dressed as a noble disciple, the grass ninjas did not make a move directly and their tone was still relatively polite.

Disciples of noble families are people that ordinary ninjas absolutely cannot afford to offend.

"I want them."

Uchiha Gen pointed at the mother and daughter, his face expressionless.

Although Uchiha Gen was very handsome, no one knew exactly what kind of person he was, so the woman looked worried and pleading.

Good people are already few and far between among the nobility, and with the ninjas of this world providing a safety net, good people are even rarer, while there are plenty of perverts.

If it were an ordinary mother and daughter, the leader of the Grass Ninja would be happy to sell them to a noble disciple for a profit, but the mother and daughter in front of him were not an exception.

The woman's special abilities are of great use to the Grass Ninja Village. If they can bring her back to the village, the village will have ninjutsu, status, power, and a bright future.

Therefore, the leader of the grass ninjas said without hesitation, "Sorry, they don't sell."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. She would rather be a blood donation bag in the Grass Ninja Village than an unknown noble disciple.

"Are you really not selling?"

"I can give you lots and lots of money, enough for you to leave the ranks of ninjas who live on the edge and live the life of a rich man who has everything done for you."

Upon hearing this, the leader of the grass ninja hesitated...

The other two grass ninjas were completely swayed and began to persuade him.

Seeing the woman's uneasy expression, Uchiha Gen realized he couldn't play the ninja trick anymore.

With a bang, a cloud of white smoke rose up, revealing Uchiha Gen's true form. He wore a Konoha ninja headband and had a pair of scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan eyes.

"Get out of here!"

hiss……

The three grass ninja gasped in shock, not daring to utter a single word, and immediately turned and ran.

Currently, there is only one Uchiha clan ninja in the Land of Grass, and that is the Konoha vice commander, Gen Uchiha, nicknamed "Fearful Asura".

The two sides fought in the Land of Grass for several months, and even the Grass Ninja who were not involved in the battle already knew about it.

The reason why the three people were spared was mainly because Uchiha Gen didn't want to kill anyone in front of a child, in addition to the fact that the leader of the grass ninja had bought dumplings for the mother and daughter.

"Hello, my name is Uchiha Gen, and I come from Konoha, an ally of Uzushio Village."

"Are you members of the Uzumaki clan?"

Uchiha Gen's Sharingan disappeared from his eyes, a bright smile appeared on his face, and his tone was gentle and polite.

Although the woman was once an ordinary member of the Uzumaki clan, she was aware of Konoha Village, an ally of Uzumaki Village.

I've heard of the famous Uchiha clan even within the clan.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully while holding the little girl, and said in a respectful tone, "Greetings, Lord Xuan, we are from the Whirlpool Clan."

"My name is Anna Uzumaki."

"This is my daughter, Karin Uzumaki."
