Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 189 is arranged very clearly.

"Lord Xuan, hello."

Two-year-old Karin Uzumaki blinked her big, ruby-like eyes and spoke in a childish voice, appearing very sensible.

"Karin is good." Uchiha Gen said with a slight smile.

"I see you're not doing well. Would you be interested in coming to Konoha to live?"

Anna Uzumaki looked overjoyed and asked incredulously, "Lord Gen, is this alright?"

Living in Konoha would naturally be the best choice; it's the world's number one ninja village—lively, prosperous, and safe!

She had wanted to go for a long time, but the journey was too dangerous, and she simply didn't have the ability to take her daughter to live in Konoha.

This chaotic world is full of bandits, mountain bandits, gangsters, ninja ravenous warriors, and wandering samurai. Even caravans need to hire ninja guards to travel.

She doesn't know ninjutsu and has no strength. If she really went to confront them, she and her daughter would probably be eaten alive on the way...

"Of course. Although Uzushio Village no longer exists, Konoha and Uzushio Village are still allies."

"I will protect you once you arrive in Konoha."

"Oh, by the way, the Fourth Hokage's wife was also from the Uzumaki clan. Although the Fourth Hokage has passed away, she still has enough power to protect you."

"Thank you very much, Lord Xuan."

Anna Uzumaki quickly bowed and thanked her, overjoyed beyond measure.

She was finally able to provide her daughter with a stable and safe living environment.

"Thank you, Lord Xuan."

Seeing her mother thank her, Karin Uzumaki, who was much more mature than other children her age, also thanked her in a childish voice, with a sweet smile on her face.

"But I can't get away right now. You can only return to Konoha with me after the war between Konoha and the Iwagakure-Kusagakure alliance ends."

"It's okay, it's okay, we can wait."

After speaking, Anna Uzumaki hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to be honest. She couldn't be a burden; she had to become a valuable person.

"Lord Xuan, I have awakened a special ability. As long as someone bites my skin, I can recover my chakra and injuries."

Uchiha Gen feigned sudden realization and said, "No wonder we couldn't buy you from the Grass Ninja with money. So that's why."

"You used to be an ordinary member of the Uzumaki clan, right? Otherwise, with this ability, you wouldn't have ended up like this..."

"Yes, but my branch belongs to the main lineage of the Uzumaki clan."

"No wonder you were able to awaken such a special ability. It seems you and Kushina are related. She is also from the main branch of the Uzumaki clan."

Her clansman is called Kushina Uzumaki, I really want to meet her.

That's wonderful.

"Lord Xuan, I am very useful. I can restore your chakra and injuries to you and the Konoha ninjas."

Uchiha shook his head and said, "I checked when I activated my Sharingan earlier, and there is no chakra in your body."

"Your current ability to restore chakra and heal injuries comes at the cost of your own life force. Once your life force is exhausted, you will die young."

"Konoha's medical system is quite advanced; there's no need for you to sacrifice your own life to save people."

"Alright, when we get back to the Konoha camp, I'll teach you how to refine chakra and some basic medical knowledge."

"When you have free time, you can go to the front-line hospital in the camp to help out. This way, you can exchange your labor for food and shelter, and you can also gain experience."

"Once we return to Konoha, with Kushina's and my abilities, we'll be able to get you an internship at Konoha Hospital."

"In this way, you will be able to support yourself and Karin on your own."

Upon hearing this, Anna Uzumaki burst into tears and knelt down on the ground with a thud, her voice trembling as she said, "Lord Gen, you've been so considerate. I truly don't know how to repay you..."

Offering yourself in return?

Anna Uzumaki didn't even dare to think about it, after all, the two were worlds apart.

Of course, if Uchiha Gen had brought it up, Uzumaki Anna would have definitely agreed, but Uchiha Gen didn't have that intention.

"Don't talk about repaying me. I just saw it and did it on a whim. Don't take it too seriously. Get up."

Uchiha Gen flashed to Anna Uzumaki's side and pulled her up.

Anna Uzumaki didn't say anything more, burying this kindness deep in her heart and secretly making up her mind that she would definitely repay it when she had the chance.

Karin Uzumaki stared wide-eyed at Gen Uchiha, her ruby-like eyes seemingly radiating light, and said in a childish voice, "Lord Gen, you're so handsome."

"Hahaha……"

Uchiha Gen laughed heartily; a child's praise always brings joy.

I have to say, Karin has a really good eye.

"Let's go, come back to the Konoha camp with me."

"Hmm...would you like to eat something before you leave?"

"Lord Xuan, there's no need to spend money, we're not hungry."

Glug...

At this moment, both the large and small bellies growled at an inopportune time, causing both of them to blush slightly.

"It's okay, I wasn't full either, so I'll have some more."

"What would you like to eat, Karin?" Uchiha Gen asked with a smile.

"Can I have dumplings?"

Karin sucked on her finger, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

"Of course, we'll eat our fill of dumplings today."

"Oh, right, after we finish eating the dumplings, I'll go buy you some clothes."

"Lord Xuan, we don't need the clothes. We can wash them and still wear them," Anna Uzumaki quickly waved her hand.

"You're no longer homeless, you can't keep wearing the same clothes forever, can you?"

"Alright, I'll say what I mean. Come with me."

Men should be more assertive in certain matters and not follow the opinions of women or girls.

Seeing Uchiha Gen turn and leave, Uzumaki Anna felt helpless but also understood that she already owed enough, so owing a little more wouldn't matter.

The group returned to the dumpling shop, but this time they didn't eat outside; instead, they found a seat inside.

Uchiha Gen, in a fit of "generosity," ordered five skewers of all flavors of dumplings from the dumpling shop, along with some juice.

In any case, Uchiha Gen's behavior was very generous in the eyes of Karin and her daughter, who had gone hungry for three days and seven or eight meals!

Besides its own flavor, glutinous rice balls can also be served with dipping sauces, offering a wide variety of tastes. Each glutinous rice ball shop has its own signature dish.

Despite their poverty, Anna Uzumaki taught Karin well, ensuring she ate politely even when hungry.

Fifteen minutes later, the three of them finished eating and drinking, left the shop, and headed to a clothing store in town.

Gen Uchiha bought three sets of clothing for Karin and her daughter, which was more than enough for their daily needs.

In his previous life, Uchiha Gen didn't like buying clothes. He would usually only buy clothes once a year, around the Lunar New Year, and sometimes he wouldn't buy any at all for the entire year.

After buying the clothes, they left the town. Karin walked in the middle, wearing brand new clothes, Anna Uzumaki walked on the right, also wearing brand new clothes and carrying a bag, and Gen Uchiha walked on the left.

Karin looked left and right every now and then, her face full of a happy smile.

Upon arriving in the desolate wilderness, Uchiha Gen stopped and shouted, "Kyoryo!"

"Yes, Master."

A miniature white cloud drifted out from Uchiha Gen's rather wide sleeves, and then quickly grew dozens of times larger, to about five square meters.

Uchiha Gen stepped onto the white cloud and looked at Karin and her daughter, who were looking on in surprise, and said, "You can consider Kyo as a special summoning beast. Come on up."

With curiosity, Karin and her daughter stepped onto the white cloud. The texture was soft, as if they were stepping on a ball of cotton candy.

Once the three of them were on the clouds, Qiangliang immediately set off, quickly flying diagonally into the sky...
