Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 201 Close the door and release Kushina!

Ye Cang tilted his head, looking hesitant, and said, "It seems to make some sense."

"Hey, why are you wearing sunglasses so late at night?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious because I've never seen the night view from the perspective of sunglasses."

As he spoke, Uchiha Gen looked at Yekura, and the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared behind his dark glasses. The three black crescent-shaped pickaxes in his right eye began to rotate slightly.

Tianyu has been appointed!

"Think carefully about what I said before; I think it makes a lot of sense."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang subconsciously began to rethink, his mindset shifting under the influence of Tianyu's mandate.

"I didn't understand just now, but it really makes a lot of sense. You're doing this for my own good."

"Alright, I'll allow you to have as many girlfriends as you like," Yecang said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen's lips curled slightly. He never expected that his first use of the Mangekyou Sharingan would be under such circumstances.

When Tianyu was ordered to use it in matters of love and sex, wasn't it the ultimate version of sweet talk, the ultimate weapon to ensure harmony in the harem?

His Heavenly Mandate is not as overpowered as the otherworldly god Shizuku in the original work, but it has far fewer limitations and is perfectly adequate.

What is the most powerful technique in the ninja world?

If we don't consider verbal persuasion the best, it should definitely be in the top three, right?

The problem is that his eyes are still the Mangekyou Sharingan, not the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He can't use them recklessly; he has to use them wisely.

Even with the powerful and Flying Thunder God Technique, Yekura is still a long-distance girlfriend. It's important that she doesn't have to worry about her boyfriend cheating and can live a peaceful life.

With his Mangekyou Sharingan gone, Uchiha Gen, wearing sunglasses, pretended to do his homework and looked around. It was pitch black and blurry, and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he took them off and put them back in his pocket.

"Thank you for understanding, you're truly the best girlfriend."

Uchiha Gen took Pakura's hands in his and looked deeply into her orange-yellow eyes.

Ye Cang lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed, and slowly closed her eyes.

Having received the hint, Uchiha Gen moved closer.

Two blurry shadows merged together on the shimmering river surface...

After cuddling for a while, Uchiha Gen took Yekura's hand and continued walking along the riverbank, without taking anything further.

If he really intended to do something, Uchiha Gen wouldn't have invited Pakura for a walk by the river.

Since it was their first time together, they needed to have some sense of ceremony. How could they act rashly in the middle of nowhere?

The main purpose of this meeting was to strengthen our relationship. We were both quite busy during the war and didn't have much time to spend together. Now we can finally relax completely for a while.

While I don't mind simple transactions, the experience is undoubtedly better when there's an emotional connection between us and the other person.

An ordinary woman is one thing, but with Yekura's looks, figure, temperament, and personality, she's worth the time to cultivate.

It's worth mentioning that during the walk, Gen Uchiha left the Flying Thunder God seal on Pakura.

This will make it easier to find people in Sunagakure in the future.

The two strolled until late at night, their conversation deepening with several intimate exchanges that strengthened their bond.

The next morning, Sunagakure was the first to break camp and leave.

Uchiha Gen did not see him off. He had said everything he needed to say last night, and seeing him off would only add to his sorrow.

……

In the afternoon, the Konoha ninja finished packing and returned to the Land of Fire in high spirits.

Just as they entered the Land of Fire and were about to pass the Konoha border garrison, the Konoha envoy suddenly issued the Hokage order to Orochimaru and Uchiha Gen.

The order meant that the frontline troops would rest for two days at the border before returning to Konoha, while Orochimaru and Uchiha Gen would return to Konoha directly with the Konoha envoy.

Ordinary people might not understand Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention in issuing this order, and those with simpler minds might think that Hiruzen Sarutobi was simply showing compassion for the ninjas on the front lines.

After fighting for so long, it would be quite tiring to immediately cross half of the Land of Fire and return to Konoha. It would be much easier and more pleasant to rest for a couple of days at the border before returning to Konoha.

However, the two cunning and scheming individuals, who were inclined towards darkness, immediately realized Hiruzen Sarutobi's true intentions.

If they lead the frontline troops back to Konoha, Konoha will definitely organize a welcoming ceremony because they won the battle and then negotiated peace.

Once the welcoming ceremony is complete, news of Orochimaru's meritorious service will soon spread throughout the village, and the matter of the Fifth Hokage will inevitably be brought up.

Although the matter of the Fifth Hokage can be delayed for a while, it cannot be delayed forever and will eventually be elevated to the agenda. However, making it widely known is clearly different from handling it discreetly.

This order was mainly aimed at Orochimaru, and Uchiha Gen and other Konoha ninjas lost a chance to shine as a result.

Uchiha Gen didn't care about showing off; he cared more about tangible benefits than such superficial things.

So, what to do depends mainly on Orochimaru's attitude.

Orochimaru had long been disappointed in Hiruzen Sarutobi, and found such methods laughable. He didn't bother to do anything and simply agreed indifferently.

Uchiha Gen thought there was only one annoying thing, but he didn't expect there to be another one.

The Konoha envoy cautiously said, "Lord Xuan, Lord Danzo requests two people from you."

Uchiha Gen asked expressionlessly, "Who is it?"

"The two people you brought," the Konoha envoy continued cautiously.

"Anna Uzumaki and Karin Uzumaki?" Gen Uchiha continued expressionlessly.

Anna Uzumaki may have been kind-hearted, or perhaps she wanted to better integrate into Konoha. While staying at the Konoha frontline hospital, she ultimately used her abilities to save a critically injured Konoha ninja who was on the verge of death.

Such abilities naturally caused a sensation at the Konoha frontline hospital, and even though Uchiha Gen issued a gag order, it could not be hidden from the spies that the Konoha high command had placed on the front lines.

Clearly, Danzo had become greedy.

Unfortunately, after the two women arrived in Konoha Village and were protected by Kushina, they were unable to take action and had no choice but to risk it.

"Yes," the Konoha envoy swallowed hard.

He felt that Uchiha Gen was like a volatile volcano, ready to erupt at any moment...

"Has the Hokage agreed?"

"No, I heard it was firmly rejected."

"This is an order given by Lord Danzo in his capacity as the Hokage's assistant," the Konoha envoy replied honestly.

Hey, the raging volcano seems to have calmed down.

Damn it, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally did something decent; he does have some self-awareness and didn't let Danzo act recklessly.

Anna Uzumaki and Karin Uzumaki are simply not suited to go to Root, okay?

What a waste of talent!

"Even the Hokage disagrees, so who does he think he is to assist the Hokage?" Uchiha Gen said dismissively.

"Besides, my direct superior is Orochimaru-sensei. Danzo's actions are against the rules and constitute overstepping his authority."

When he returns to Konoha, his direct superior will be the Minister of Police, with perhaps two additional deputy ministers.

Unless one wants to associate with Danzo or believes in Danzo like Shisui in the original story, Danzo cannot command him.

"Teacher, do you agree?"

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said, "I will resolutely obey the Hokage's orders."

"Did you hear that?" Uchiha Gen said expressionlessly.

"I heard you, I heard you. I am the Hokage's man, just passing on a message."

"Alright, you can go now."

After the Konoha envoy left, Orochimaru laughed and said, "You contradicted Danzo before, so he must hate you even more now."

"But with your strength, achievements, and background, as long as Danzo doesn't find any fault with you, you don't need to be afraid of him."

"However, we still need to be careful. Danzo, the Dark Lord of Konoha, is extremely cunning."

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly and said, "I know."

"So, in order to prevent Danzo from having time to plot against me, I've decided to send Kushina."

In fact, Gen Uchiha didn't take Danzo seriously. If he really angered Danzo, he would just assassinate him.

However, such things cannot be done lightly. If Danzo suddenly dies, Konoha will definitely investigate thoroughly, and the Spirit Transformation Technique cannot be flawless.

If we really want to do it, we need to find a good opportunity.

Only by having both an alibi and a clearly identified scapegoat can the case be truly flawless.

Orochimaru smiled.

"Hehe..."

"Given Kushina's temperament, if she found out that Danzo wanted to bring her possibly last remaining clansmen into Root to cause trouble, Kushina would probably go and block the gates of Root herself."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

His relationship with Danzo was purely cooperative; there was no real affection between them.

Uchiha Gen, with a sly smile on his face, said, "I'm looking forward to it too."

He helped Kushina bring back two beloved members of her clan, and Kushina stood up for him, so it's not unreasonable for her to draw fire, right?

With her dual identity as the widow of the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina truly possessed both status and strength, making her a very extraordinary figure.

Let alone Danzo and Root together being no match for Kushina, even if they could, what would Danzo dare to do to Kushina?

If Danzo were to try to harm Kushina, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be the first to object!
