Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 277 I've never been this angry in my entire life (4000 words)

"When Kyo returns with Shisui and Itachi, I'm going to go on a killing spree."

"Yes, Master."

Qiang Liang's figure flickered, turning into a streak of black light and disappearing, then he abruptly stopped and landed in front of Shisui and Itachi.

"Don't be careless, be careful, we're waiting for you to come back."

"Me too, Brother Xuan."

Given Shisui's intelligence and mindset, it was impossible for them to be so brain-dead as to want to stay. After saying a few words, they jumped onto the cloud.

"Don't worry, there's no one in this world who can kill me. If I want to leave, no one can stop me."

After speaking, Uchiha Gen waved his hand lightly, and Qiang Liang's figure turned into black light and disappeared.

Uchiha Gen leaped onto Zhu Rong, spread his hands to let Wu Sheng land, and laughed down from his superior position: "How ugly, Raikage."

"It's one thing for subordinates to need help from the sidelines, but why does even you, the shadow, need help from the sidelines?"

The Fourth Raikage's expression turned extremely ugly upon hearing this, unsure how to refute it...

The enemy was more troublesome than expected, possessing powerful and bizarre abilities that allowed them to move between each other.

These are probably the two main abilities of Uchiha Gen's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Raikage and the others did not realize it was the Flying Thunder God Technique; this was a deliberate illusion created by Uchiha Gen.

If the Raikage and others discover that he knows the Flying Thunder God Technique, their plans may be canceled, making it impossible to harvest souls.

hope approached the Raikage, using medical ninjutsu to treat the injury on the Raikage's arm while trying her best to save face for her boss.

"In a one-on-one fight, Lord Raikage is naturally not afraid, but you are facing four against one."

Uchiha Gen laughed loudly, "Hahaha, according to your logic, a Jinchuriki or a pregnant woman fighting would be two against one?"

"My Mangekyou Sharingan ability was acquired through my own skills, so why can't I use it?"

"Then let's not use ninjutsu and just settle this with rock-paper-scissors."

"Naive, sophistry, cerebral palsy!"

After hurling insults at Xi, Uchiha Gen looked at the Fourth Raikage.

"Alright, Lord Raikage, how do we settle this now?"

"Your subordinate has just broken the rules again; he deserves to die to atone for it."

The Raikage would naturally disagree, as his subordinates had broken the rules to save him.

Even if it weren't for him, he would still protect his own. hope is a newly promoted all-around Jonin in Kumogakure, skilled in genjutsu, offensive ninjutsu, medical ninjutsu, and sensory ninjutsu.

If they continue to grow in this way, they will inevitably become his right-hand men.

"Apologize my ass! You insulted our Cloud Village. Two more people died at the hands of your Uchiha clan today. You should be the one apologizing with your death."

Uchiha Gen wasn't angry when he heard this. He already knew the nature of the Cloud Village well; they were just as hypocritical as the places he was implying.

"Lord Raikage is not only acting like a rogue, but also turning the tables on me. It seems I have no choice but to come and collect it myself."

Upon hearing this, Yunren immediately became more vigilant, as the manner of Yiming's death was still fresh in their minds.

The next moment, Uchiha Gen piloted Zhu Rong and flew towards the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, a scene that surprised everyone.

They were just threatening us, and now they're running away?

"Damn it, Uchiha Gen has discovered the ambush on the mountain. Send a signal immediately!" Raikage said, his expression changing.

Soon, signal flares soared into the sky, exploding in mid-air with a sound unlike that of ordinary signal flares, much like the thunder overhead at Cloud Village.

Upon hearing this sound, the Cloud Ninja, who were dressed warmly enough, breathed a sigh of relief; if they had continued to lie in wait in the snow, they would have frozen to death.

Pushing aside the snow, one by one, Cloud Ninja emerged from the snow like groundhogs, and then, as planned, they formed hand seals and activated their ninjutsu.

The Cloud Ninja thought their plan had succeeded and that Uchiha Gen was trying to escape by flying into the sky.

While the rest of the Cloud Ninja's body was stiff from the cold, their hands, which were forming hand seals, remained warm enough to maintain their usual hand seal speed.

Combination Lightning Release Ninjutsu: Lightning Net!

Streaks of blue and white lightning shot out from the hands of the Cloud Ninja, extending to the left, right, and front...

Because of special training, these lightning bolts connected with each other in mid-air, transforming into a blue electric grid that covered the entire canyon.

Suddenly, the sky brightened, thunder rumbled, and Uchiha Xuan, riding Zhu Rong, looked like a bird trapped in a cage.

Unfortunately, the Cloud Village's plan was thwarted at every turn. The most fatal mistake was that they overestimated their own strength and underestimated Uchiha Gen's.

Such a dispersed attack would be impossible for even a Cloud Village Chunin who exhausted all his chakra to trap Uchiha Gen.

Without Uchiha Gen even needing to make a move, Zhu Rong directly unleashed a golden-white flame breath, the scorching flames burning a large hole in the lightning net, allowing the dragon-human hybrid to break free.

Immortal Nirvana Bloodfall!

Instead of activating Sage Mode, Uchiha Gen absorbed the natural energy from Zhu Rong and used it to fuse with some of his own chakra to create a weakened version of Sage Technique.

Although it was a weakened version of Sage Mode, it was enough for over a hundred Chunin.

Not only does Zhurong possess natural energy, but Qiangliang does as well, and Qiangliang, whose origin is thunderstorms, possesses many times more natural energy than Zhurong.

The natural energy stored in the two high-level Homies allows Uchiha Gen to activate Sage Mode anytime, anywhere.

After being extracted, Zhu Rong and Qiang Liang can immediately absorb natural energy to "recharge" Uchiha Gen, and Uchiha Gen can also absorb it himself...

We can't use it all, we simply can't use it all!

Compared to the previous Nirvana Bloodfall, Uchiha Gen made some improvements based on the situation on the ground. Instead of blood-red feathers, blood-red snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

From the perspective of the Cloud Ninja, the originally white snowflakes all turned blood red, and when the wind blew, the entire sky was dyed blood red, as if a blood storm had descended.

Thump, thump...

One by one, the Cloud Ninjas seemed to have weights hanging from their eyelids, their bodies swaying and collapsing to the ground, their consciousness trapped in a tailor-made, terrifying nightmare.

Few people can overcome their own greatest fears, and even fewer can overcome them quickly and effectively.

The Raikage and the others who were rushing up the cliff also saw the blood storm, and except for the Raikage and Yugito, they were all hit.

Fortunately, the Raikage and Yugito intervened to disrupt their subordinates, and the flow of their chakra allowed them to escape the genjutsu.

"Phew... What a terrifying genjutsu! Even I, a ninja who's practically a genjutsu-type Jonin, was completely powerless against it."

hope Shen exhaled, cold sweat appearing on his forehead, his face filled with lingering fear.

Darui and the others were in no better shape, their faces still showing lingering fear.

"Stop talking, hurry up and save people, save as many as you can!" Yukito shouted anxiously.

While the origin of Uchiha Gen's nickname "Fearful Asura" may not be known to everyone, it is quite clear to the people of the five great ninja villages.

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go quickly."

The group quickly jumped up the snow-covered, cold, hard, and slippery cliff.

As for the Raikage, he had already started climbing upwards at full speed after dispelling the genjutsu.

Unfortunately, it was too late; Uchiha Gen seized the opportunity to activate the Soul-Soul Fruit's power.

In an instant, more than a hundred transparent souls, accompanied by clusters of shimmering white light, flew into the sky from the east, west, and south, creating a magnificent and spectacular sight.

However, this magnificent scene was made up of more than a hundred lives, all of whom were Chunin, the backbone of the village.

"Haha... This feels so good, I haven't felt this good in a long time."

After absorbing the soul and lifespan, Uchiha Gen put his hands on his hips, looked up at the sky, and laughed loudly.

The laughter echoed through the canyon, giving Raikage and the others who heard it a sense of foreboding.

Their unease soon came true. After leaping onto the western cliff, they looked around and saw dozens of Cloud Village ninja lying haphazardly on the ground...

"Their chakra...has already dissipated."

hope Yingjun's face was filled with horror, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. The Raikage was the fastest to react, and he had already reached a Cloud Ninja who had fallen face down, turning him over and helping him up.

This Cloud Ninja, having spent a long time lying in wait in the snow, was extremely pale from the cold. His eyes were wide open, and his face was contorted in a horrified expression.

Some of the ninjas were lying on their backs, which was easy to see at a glance, and the others who were turned over had almost the same death posture.

"Is this the origin of the Fearful Asura?"

"How can such a monstrous and terrifying ability exist in the world? And this illusion is incredibly powerful!"

Darui's face was ashen, his heart filled with a mixture of anger and fear. Had he not been awakened in time, he might have been one of those who fell as well.

If I survive today, I must strengthen my resistance to illusions, otherwise I will die in a single encounter.

The emotions and thoughts of the other Jonin were basically the same as Darui's.

"Damn it, come down and fight me if you dare!"

The Fourth Raikage suddenly stood up and roared at Uchiha Gen, who was somewhat blurred in the snowstorm, his face contorted with rage and his eyes burning with fury.

As he tidied his slightly disheveled hair, Uchiha Gen chuckled, "Heh, why should I come down when I've earned my place in the heavens through my own abilities?"

"Come on, let's fight if you dare."

"And also, stop putting on that awful, indignant look..."

"I came to keep our appointment, and you Cloud Village actually set up an ambush. You brought this on yourselves, you deserve it!"

The Raikage and the others were filled with shame and anger upon hearing this, but Uchiha Gen was flying high enough that they couldn't hit him. They were so angry that they developed an extremely strong desire to fly.

Unable to bear it any longer, Yugito unleashed a torrent of dark red chakra and blue flames from his entire body, quickly transforming into a gigantic blue cat demon.

The wooden figure tilted its head back, and a huge, orange-red fireball shot out from its mouth...

Zhu Rong opened its dragon mouth as if to attack, but Uchiha Xuan snapped its dragon horn, causing Zhu Rong to dodge the fireball.

"Heh heh, you can't hit me, you can't hit me, what can you do to me?"

Uchiha Gen laughed and joked, and at the end he even made a funny face like a child.

The Cloud Village members felt like they were about to explode with anger.

Yugito opened his mouth again, and a dense rain of rat tail balls shot out. These were not Tailed Beast Balls, but contained fire energy, like a barrage of arrows, making them very difficult to dodge.

Fire dragon's breath!

Wind Release Breakthrough!

The golden-white flames, amplified by the strong winds, subtly shifted towards pure white, resembling a golden-white lake of flames being poured down.

Fire against fire, the dense rain of rat-tail balls fell into it and were burned to ashes by the golden-white flames without even a splash.

Yugito, Raikage, Darui, and the others all retreated.

Yugito could actually withstand the damage; it wouldn't be too bad, just quite painful. Raikage could also withstand it, but he instinctively dodged.

"Playing with fire in front of the Uchiha?"

"Even if you are the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, you're not qualified, sister."

Uchiha Gen raised a finger and shook it, his smug expression infuriating the Raikage and the others, who were utterly helpless.

Enraged, Yukito unleashed his ultimate attack.

Yin and Yang chakra converged in the void, merging in a 2:8 ratio to form a Tailed Beast Ball slightly smaller than the Two-Tails' mouth.

Controlled by Mujin, the Tailed Beast body in its transformed state swallowed the Tailed Beast Ball whole, its jaw clenched, its cheeks and belly swelling...

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Gen shouted, "Quickly shrink down! The opponent is unleashing their ultimate attack!"

As soon as Zhurong sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations, it shrank its body, and a terrifying energy cannon, a mixture of white and red, shot out from its two-tailed mouth, stretching towards the clouds...

The strong wind whipped Uchiha Gen's trench coat wildly, completely messing up his hair, but he still failed to hit Uchiha Gen.

This type of Tailed Beast Ball attack is much faster than the normal Tailed Beast Ball, making it even more difficult to hit Zhu Rong, who is very agile in the air, with the speed of the normal Tailed Beast Ball.

"Hehe, can't hit it, still can't hit it..."

The Raikage and the others were furious beyond measure; they felt they had never been this angry in their entire lives!

However, after reaching their limit of anger, the Cloud Village members gradually calmed down...

Continuing like this is pointless except for wasting chakra and time.

At that moment, a streak of black light flew rapidly from the horizon; it was Qiangliang returning after placing Shisui and Itachi in a completely safe place.

Upon seeing this, Raikage immediately ordered, "We'll deal with the corpses later. Split up and retreat immediately. Yugito and I will draw their attention."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately carried out the order and retreated to the north without hesitation, even using the Shadow Clone Technique to cover their retreat.

The Shadow Clone Technique is enough to deceive many sensory ninjutsu, but it cannot deceive the soul's perception. Uchiha Gen could see through the illusion of who was the original and who was the clone.

Uchiha Gen leaped from Zhu Rong onto Qiang Liang, using his Mangekyou Sharingan to climb to a high vantage point and gaze into the distance. He saw tiny black dots scattering and fleeing in the wind and snow, and a chilling smile appeared on his face…

The Fourth Raikage and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki are far too important to the Hidden Cloud Village. Killing them would inevitably trigger a large-scale war, and the entire ninja world could be plunged back into conflict due to the chain reaction...

He is not yet capable of dragging Konoha, or even the entire world, down with him in order to increase his strength.

However, the others had no such concerns. Even if they were all killed, the Cloud Village would most likely not dare to launch a war.

With this thought in mind, Uchiha Gen sat cross-legged on a cloud, formed hand seals, and used the Spirit Transformation Technique.

A soul that looked like a real person emerged from the top of Uchiha Gen's head, with a quarter remaining in his body and three-quarters leaving his body.

The soul split into eight in mid-air, transforming into eight streams of light that chased after it...
