Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 25 Uchiha Shisui

A short while later, Uchiha Gen's shadow clone brought over the documents announcing his promotion to Jonin.

Uchiha Gen put down his spoon, took a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, took the document from the shadow clone's hand and handed it to Anko. At the same time, with a bang, the shadow clone turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Red Bean took the document, read it carefully, and then returned it to Uchiha Gen without any expression.

Despite being somewhat prepared, Hongdou was still quite shocked.

A one-year age difference is like the difference between a genin and a jonin...

"Stop looking so sad."

"This dessert is on me. I'll treat you to another one when I officially become Lord Orochimaru's disciple."

Having not yet experienced the blow of Orochimaru's defection, Anko is very cheerful and optimistic. Upon hearing this, she immediately put aside her worries and smiled broadly.

"You said it yourself, so don't go back on your word."

"No, no, I still have some savings."

"Let's go."

After paying the bill, the two left "Sweet Home" together, walked for a while, and then went their separate ways home.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Uchiha Gen, after taking a shower, lay on the sofa playing and frolicking with Zhu Rong.

In fact, the process of playing and having fun is also a form of training. Uchiha Gen used the connection between the Soul-Soul Fruits to sense the various properties of the flames within Zhu Rong's body, gradually improving his mastery of fire attribute transformations.

Ring ring ring...

The doorbell rang suddenly. Zhu Rong, who was floating in the void, was slightly startled. Then, he transformed into a stream of light and pressed the switch to control the gate of the courtyard. He then returned to Uchiha Gen's left forearm and transformed into a lifelike and majestic tattoo.

Uchiha Gen pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard, laughing, "What brings you all here?"

"Please come in quickly."

The newcomers were none other than Kakashi and Rin Nohara, teammates from Team 7.

The two followed Uchiha Gen to the living room and sat down. Uchiha Gen took three bottles of juice from the refrigerator and gave them to the two of them.

"You should have told me before you came. It's almost lunchtime, and I haven't prepared anything."

Kakashi took the juice, his expression quite grave, and said, "The teacher has already told us about it, but I never expected..."

Nohara Rin took the juice and encouraged him with a smile, "Don't be disappointed, Gen. Even though we can't be teammates anymore, we're still friends."

"If there's anything we can do to help, Kakashi and I will definitely do our best."

We had spent a month or two together fighting for our lives, and we had developed some friendships with each other.

Thank you for your kindness.

"Don't worry, it's just a little regrettable, it's not like we're going to die, it's nothing serious."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Have dinner here tonight, and you can try my cooking."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen smiled and left, entering the kitchen.

Rin Nohara looked at Kakashi, who shook his head.

"Xuan, shall Lin and I help?"

"Can you cook?"

"Of course."

"Then come on over, it'll be perfect for a quick dinner."

Since Sakumo Hatake left, Kakashi has become increasingly independent as he's grown older, and naturally, he's learned to cook.

Nohara Rin came from a working-class family and, being a woman, had been taught to cook at home long ago.

However, their cooking skills and styles differed from Uchiha Gen's, and the dishes they made were ones that Kakashi and Nohara Rin had never seen before.

In fact, the dishes that Uchiha Gen made were very common in his previous life: twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried vegetables, and tomato and egg soup.

Uchiha Gen was from Sichuan in his previous life, so his cooking style is mainly Sichuan cuisine, but he also knows some dishes from other cuisines, which he learned by watching videos.

"How does it taste?"

In the restaurant, Uchiha Gen watched as the two of them each picked up a piece of food with their chopsticks and then asked with a smile.

"Mmm, delicious, delicious. I didn't expect these dishes, which look a bit strange, to taste so good."

"Any girl who marries you in the future will be very lucky."

Nohara Rin squinted her eyes in enjoyment and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"It tastes better than mine. I'll have to ask you for your recipe when I have some free time."

After removing his mask, Kakashi, whose handsomeness rivals that of Gen Uchiha, also gave his approval.

"Haha, eat as much as you like, there's plenty."

After saying that, the three of them stopped talking and focused on eating.

After finishing their meal, Kakashi and Rin Nohara helped wash the dishes and cups, and then Kakashi said goodbye.

Uchiha Gen escorted the two to the door, saying, "Although I've had very few interactions with Shisui, I've heard he's a very good person."

"He, like me, is an extraordinary Uchiha."

Kakashi and Rin Nohara looked surprised upon hearing this. Another unusual Uchiha?

Their Team 7 has such a strange connection with the unusual Uchiha clan!

"Understood. We will treat everyone equally. We hope he can be someone we respect, just like Obito and you," Kakashi said seriously.

"I'm gone."

"Goodbye, Gen," Nohara Rin said with a smile.

"goodbye."

Hopefully, Shisui can change your fates.

Although the chances are slim, even if he is in Class 7, the odds are still very low.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Uchiha thought to himself.

With the addition of Zhu Rong and the other Homies, although his true strength was already among the best of the Jonin, it was still far behind that of Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, and White Zetsu.

Even though Madara Uchiha was old and nearing the end of his life, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

After the two figures completely disappeared, Uchiha Gen was about to go back to his house when suddenly a figure came from the other side.

The newcomer was dressed in a black turtleneck short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, with brown armor on his right shoulder and white strips of cloth wrapped around his legs. The Uchiha clan crest was embroidered on the back of his clothes, and he carried a small katana on his back. Even in the shadows, his chubby nose was still very prominent.

Hey, the visitors are coming in waves today!

Uchiha Gen was certain that his residence was located in a relatively remote area within the clan's territory.

Although the original owner's parents were ninjas, neither of them awakened the Sharingan. They were still from a branch family, so the housing they were assigned was not in the core area of ​​the clan's territory.

He was automatically promoted to the main family after awakening his Sharingan, but he was too lazy to change the house he was used to living in.

"Shisui, did you come to see me?"

"Yes, Xuan."

Looking at the rising stars of the clan, the clansmen who were the twin stars of the Uchiha clan alongside him, Uchiha Shisui smiled gently.

"Shall we go inside and talk?"

"it is good."

The two went to the living room.

"What would you like to drink? Juice or tea?"

"Let's have fruit juice; tea is a bit too much trouble."

After Uchiha Gen brought over the juice, the two sat down on the sofa.

Compared to the traditional kneeling posture in the ninja world, Uchiha Gen preferred to sit or lie on sofas or chairs.

"Is there something you need from me?"

"I wanted to apologize to you, and also to ask about your new teammates."

Uchiha Shisui honestly revealed his true thoughts.

"What's there to apologize for?"

"It's not your fault, and no one else is at fault either; it's just a choice."

"It doesn't matter if it's you, me, or anyone else, as long as you're from the Uchiha clan. Everything is for the sake of the clan."

The relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha clan isn't too bad right now, so Uchiha Shisui doesn't think there's anything wrong with the statement "everything is for the sake of the clan," and actually agrees with it quite a bit.

The matter of becoming an apprentice would benefit the Uchiha clan and would not harm Konoha, so Uchiha Shisui naturally wouldn't hesitate.

"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, I still want to apologize to you."

Uchiha Gen: "..."

Please continue reading, thank you everyone. I promise the updates will be great, and the updates after the book is published will definitely not be lacking either.
