Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 244 Wealth Leads to Firepower Coverage

After leaving, Uchiha Gen returned to a nearby town and deliberately wandered around, giving the bounty hunters enough time to gather.

After spending most of the day in the town, Uchiha Gen noticed that many eyes, both overt and covert, were fixed on him, and then he headed off into the wilderness, satisfied.

After walking in the wilderness for a while, the bounty hunters following behind, perhaps out of consideration for their companions, surprisingly did not make the first move...

Uchiha Gen grew impatient and jumped to the top of a large tree, shouting, "If you don't make a move soon, I'm leaving!"

"What's with all this dawdling?"

"Let's all attack together!"

Hearing such blatant provocation, the bounty hunters hiding in the shadows jumped out and landed on the treetops.

They surrounded Uchiha Gen, either alone or in groups, totaling fifteen people.

Even the weakest among them crossed the threshold of Jonin, at least in terms of combat strength.

Uchiha Gen looked around, his gaze finally settling on a man dressed in a black robe with red clouds, wearing a headband from the Takigakure rogue ninja, and with dark green eyes.

I didn't expect to lure this person away. Tsk, this is getting interesting.

"That's more like it. It's been a long time since I've fought with my full strength. I hope you guys can bring me some fun."

Uchiha Gen remained calm and composed, his eyes transforming into three-tomoe Sharingan. He drew the Musou with a backhand, unleashing a terrifying killing intent that surged forth in all directions, causing everyone's expressions to turn solemn.

"Arrogant brat, everyone attack!"

Upon hearing such arrogant words, Kakuzu was the first to express his displeasure. Even as a ninja who had fought against the First Hokage, he was never so arrogant and domineering, showing no regard for anyone.

Kaku was not one to talk the talk but walk the walk. As he spoke, he untied the black threads in his hand and threw out his right fist. The dense black threads were like arrows shot from a powerful crossbow.

The others were also quite annoyed, and upon seeing this, they immediately followed up with an attack, unleashing shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags.

Facing attacks from all directions, Uchiha Gen remained calm and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, disappearing from the spot in full view of everyone.

This scene left everyone stunned, thinking to themselves, "What a brilliant Body Flicker Technique! No wonder he's a renowned ninja master; his reputation is well-deserved."

None of the ninjas present had ever seen the Flying Thunder God Technique before, so it would be difficult for them to immediately recognize it as such.

Uchiha Gen jumped out of the encirclement, climbed to another tree, and swung his sword in a slash.

The fully charged Wusheng, now fully charged by Qiangliang, further aggravated the electrical charges in the void. Crack! The void turned white as fifteen blue-white bolts of lightning struck down on the fifteen people from above.

These bounty hunters are quite skilled.

Lone warriors like Kakuzu directly confront opponents with their dense black tentacles; those confident in their ability to dodge will dodge; those unsure of their ability to dodge will coordinate with each other and temporarily change positions.

After the attack, none of the fifteen men were killed; at most, some fell from trees and suffered minor injuries.

While forming hand seals, Uchiha Gen retreated and spoke.

"They've got some skill, I need to get serious."

Spiritual communication!

Uchiha Gen slammed his palm into the void, black lines spreading out in the air, and then, bang, bang, two plumes of white smoke rose up...

Qiangliang swayed and landed at Uchiha Xuan's feet, holding him back. Zhu Rong swayed and wrapped around Uchiha Xuan's left arm. At this moment, Zhu Rong's size was similar to that of an ordinary python, cute yet majestic.

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen's summoning beast, which was renowned throughout the ninja world, these people hesitated for a moment before launching an attack.

Some people threw out ninja tools for cover, some formed hand seals, and some released the Earth Grudge Mask.

Although there was no explicit communication, the silent cooperation indicated that everyone had reached a tacit understanding to eliminate the target first and then decide how to distribute the spoils.

Ninja tools, fire release, earth release, water release, lightning release, wind release—all sorts of ninjutsu were unleashed at Uchiha Gen in a massive barrage.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Undeterred, Uchiha Gen formed hand seals and unleashed a torrent of golden-white flames from his mouth, the flames swirling and distorting the air in their wake.

The three senior Homies were not idle either.

Zhu Rong also spewed out a golden-white flame breath. The flames expanded as soon as they left the mouth, merging with the wind and extinguishing the great fire. The flame waves were doubly powerful!

Qiang Liang's white body turned pitch black, and lightning snakes shot out from his body. These lightning snakes were extremely dense, and at a glance, they looked like a blue and white river flowing.

Wusheng spotted the right angle, and the sword, crackling with electricity, quickly extended and plunged into the raging river of lightning.

Thunder and fire clashed, the attack was incredibly hot and violent, sharp and domineering.

The two attacks collided, unleashing a deafening roar, a dazzling white light, and a terrifying shockwave that swept out, instantly obliterating a large section of the lush forest.

Some bounty hunters who were close by were directly blasted away by the shockwave, spitting out blood; bounty hunters who were a little further away used all their strength to retreat at top speed, but still inevitably fell face-first into the dirt in a sorry state.

But these were all relatively fortunate; two unlucky souls had their abdomens pierced directly by the Unborn Hole.

Only Kakuzu, who had the longest attack range and was at the very back, remained unharmed.

Uchiha Gen stood calmly on the thundercloud, a layer of black chakra armor appearing on his body, elegant and composed.

As the shockwave dissipated, Wusheng's sword slowly retracted, and two bounty hunters, paralyzed and on the verge of death, emerged from the dust and stood before Uchiha Gen.

"Well done, Wusheng."

Uchiha Gen praised them, then swept his three-tomoe Sharingan over them, hypnotizing them into "willingly" surrendering their souls and lifespans.

The praised Wusheng happily circled around Uchiha Gen.

"Qiangliang, cover them."

"Yes, Master."

Qiangliang, carrying Uchiha Gen, pierced through the smoke and dust, quickly ascending into the air and reaching the limit of long-range wind-style ninjutsu attack range. His body expanded, and rolling black clouds rapidly spread, darkening the sky. Blue and white lightning flashed within the black clouds...

Upon seeing this, the bounty hunters under the dark clouds were shocked and fled with all their might, trying to escape the area covered by the dark clouds.

Click, click, click...

Strands of blue-white lightning, as thick as a baby's arm, fell from the dark clouds. When they struck a ninja, the ninja screamed and collapsed to the ground, convulsing. When they struck a tree, they burst into flames, and when they struck the ground, they blasted a small crater.

This overwhelming firepower, coupled with the inability to retaliate and the fact that they could only passively endure the attacks, left the bounty hunters speechless and focused solely on escaping.

How could there be such a monstrous Mangekyou Sharingan ability to create something?

Seeing is believing, and I really shouldn't have come.

The bounty hunters were filled with regret, but it was too late.

Lightning bolts kept falling from the sky. Although they weren't very powerful, they were extremely fast. You could dodge one or two bolts, but not three or four.

Except for Kakuzu, who escaped the thundercloud's coverage at the cost of his heart, everyone else was struck down to the ground, paralyzed, and foaming at the mouth.

"After Qiangliang put me down, he went to the mountain one kilometer to the northeast to deal with the little mice hiding there."

"Don't kill him, beat him half to death and bring him back."

"Zhurong, go to the west and pursue the remaining fugitives."

"Hold him down, don't let him get away."

"Yes, Master."

The two Homies responded, and Zhu Rong immediately rode on a cloud of flames to pursue westward.

Qiangliang shrunk his body, placed Uchiha Gen on the ground, and then quickly flew northeast.

Uchiha Genzo harvested the sweet fruits that had fallen to the ground one by one...
