Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 281 Everything is Under Control

"Now that we're all alone in this room, shall we continue?" Uchiha Gen said with a smile.

"Hmph, you're really carefree. Are you more worried about how to escape?"

Mabuyi snorted coldly, her face showing an expression of unyielding defiance.

"Are you worried about me?" Uchiha Gen asked with a half-smile.

"Pah, who cares about you? You're just being presumptuous," Mabui said, rolling her eyes.

"Hahaha……"

Uchiha Gen wasn't angry. He laughed and then said, "You've traveled so far, you must be quite tired. Give me a massage to loosen up your muscles."

"Devotion... Alright." Mabui said, her eyes darting around.

"You changed your mind halfway through; you must have something up your sleeve, right?"

"Are you planning to take advantage of me during the massage?" Uchiha Gen asked with a half-smile.

"Hmph, if you don't dare, then forget it," Mabui said, trying to remain calm.

"You definitely want to take action."

"Fine, to avoid you courting death, I'll resort to some methods. I don't want to easily destroy a woman as intelligent and elegant as you."

"What...what do you want to do?"

"Look me in the eyes."

"I won't watch!"

Mabui tried her best to turn her head, but she couldn't resist Uchiha Gen's hand that was pinching her chin, and finally met Uchiha Gen's Mangekyou Sharingan.

The illusion was activated, and Mabui's body trembled slightly. Her eyes quickly became dull and lifeless, and her body rose uncontrollably...

Uchiha Gen made room for Mabui to sit in the chair. The Raikage's throne was quite large, big enough for two people of normal build to sit on.

Then Uchiha Gen raised his legs and placed them on the desk, leaned his head back against the soft, warm embrace, crossed his legs, smiled slightly, and squinted his eyes, looking very relaxed.

Mabuyi stretched out her cool, soft hands and gently pressed them against her temples...

While Uchiha Gen was enjoying the services of the Raikage's secretary, the ninjas of Kumogakure were already taking action under the command of their superiors.

The civilian staff in the Raikage Building were evacuated, and the villagers were evacuated. A series of arrangements were made around the Raikage's office, and everything seemed to be in an orderly and efficient manner.

However, any arrangement in Kumogakure that required the participation of ninjas was completely exposed under Uchiha Gen's soul perception.

Around 3 PM, the Raikage and his group finally returned to Kumogakure, only to hear the devastating news that Uchiha Gen had taken Mabui hostage.

After understanding the situation, the Fourth Raikage immediately led his men to his office.

Bang! The office door was violently pushed open. At that moment, Mabui was earnestly massaging Uchiha Gen's legs, and Uchiha Gen, who had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, also opened them.

It's worth mentioning that Mabui wasn't being massaged the whole time. Uchiha Gen was very considerate, letting her rest for ten minutes every half hour.

"Oh, you're back?"

"Finally back! I've been waiting forever!"

Uchiha Gen, lounging in his chair, stretched and spoke casually, as if a guest were greeting the host.

Seeing this made the Raikage and the others furious, especially the Raikage, who was practically bursting with rage.

Using his office, his throne, and even impersonating him to bully and order around his secretary—this is outrageous!

"You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Raikage had already rushed out at lightning speed, but Mabui flashed in front of Uchiha Gen, forcing Raikage to retract his slashing hand.

"Mabuyi, you..."

Mabui dodged to the side, and the Unborn Thrust struck the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor on the abdomen. The extended Unborn Thrust sent the Raikage flying.

Killer Bee quickly dodged and caught his older brother, saying in a deep voice, "Big brother, Mabui has been affected by an illusion."

"Lord Raikage, don't be impulsive. Your secretary is unharmed; she just did some manual labor."

"I'm only here to get the bet I deserve."

"Don't force me to take action. I won't be responsible for any damage caused by fighting, and neither will Konoha."

Uchiha Gen took his feet off the desk, stood up, and said with a smile.

"Did you release Mabui just because I gave you the Lightning Release: Body Tempering Technique?"

After forcing himself to calm down, Raikage said in a deep voice.

"Your little secretary is quite good. I'd like to bring her back to Konoha to serve me. Would the Raikage be willing to part with her?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Mabui is someone he values ​​and is also his secretary. She knows many secrets of Kumogakure. How could he possibly let her go to Konoha?

"Since Lord Raikage is unwilling to part with it, then I will not force him."

"Once I get the Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique and we're in a safe place, I'll release her," Uchiha Gen said with a faint smile.

"Hmph, what if you back out halfway through and kill someone?" Raikage said expressionlessly.

"I will definitely keep my promise."

"You should know that I have been infiltrating Kumogakure for half a day, and I have not done anything to damage Kumogakure."

"This is my sincerity; the duel was over when I left."

"If you don't take any drastic measures, I'll leave once I get what I want, and I won't bother with any more trouble."

"Is Lord Raikage a sore loser?"

Raikage took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once."

"If you dare to go back on your word, the Uchiha clan should prepare for endless attacks."

"Lightning Release Body Tempering Technique, here you go."

After saying that, Raikage took the scroll that Darui handed him and threw it over.

Uchiha Gen did not reach out to catch it directly, even though it was not unusual in the Sharingan's field of vision. Instead, he let Mabui catch it.

Seeing this, the Raikage and the others couldn't help but marvel at Uchiha Gen's caution and cunning.

If they had poisoned the scroll, the Mabuyi people would have been the ones to suffer.

Mabui unfurled the scroll with a blank expression. Uchiha Gen kept one eye on the Raikage and the others, while using the other to verify the authenticity of the contents of the scroll.

"Hmph, don't worry, I wouldn't stoop so low as to try and fool people with counterfeit goods."

"Without a suitable physique and special secret techniques, even if I gave them to you, you wouldn't be able to cultivate to a high level."

Uchiha Gen curled his lip and said, "Heh, who can say for sure?"

"Your Cloud Village has such a bad reputation, it's not impossible for you to do something like this."

"As for whether I can cultivate to a high level, Lord Raikage need not worry about that."

After saying this, Uchiha Genya verified the truth, put away the scroll, and walked towards the window with his arm around Mabui's waist.

"Lord Raikage, you may take a look at the paper on the table."

As Killer Bee approached, he swiftly grabbed the papers from the desk, glanced at them casually, and then gasped in surprise, frozen in place.

"Ah, this..."

"Bi, what's wrong?" Raikage asked, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Brother, this piece of paper shows the exact distribution of ninja forces centered around this office, down to the last detail."

"this……"

The Raikage was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly looked at Uchiha Gen: "I understand, you can use sensory ninjutsu!"

"That's right, I just realized it."

"Otherwise, how do you think I discovered your ambush around the canyon?" Uchiha Gen said with a faint smile.

Raikage: "..."

That bastard knows so many ninjutsu!

"These people should all leave. Otherwise, if a spy deliberately causes trouble, we won't be able to avoid conflict."

The Raikage gritted his teeth and said, "Darui, go and withdraw all the ninjas around here."

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

After a while, Uchiha Gen realized that everyone had indeed left before he grabbed Mabui's waist and jumped out of the window, leaping all the way to a high peak.

On the peak, the wind and snow are biting; below, the sea of ​​clouds rolls.

The Raikage, Killer Bee, Yugito, and others followed them all the way there.

With a snap, Uchiha Gen snapped his fingers, and Mabui broke free from the genjutsu, her eyes gradually clearing from confusion.

"See you later, everyone."

Uchiha Gen set Mabui aside, then smiled and waved goodbye to the Raikage and the others behind him before leaping into the sea of ​​clouds.

Raikage and the others immediately jumped over and looked down together.

A white cloud, resembling a cotton candy, emerged from the sea of ​​clouds, precisely catching Uchiha Gen's reclining body, before transforming into a beam of white light and merging into the waves of the sea of ​​clouds...

"We should also set up sentry posts on the mountain peaks from now on," Lei Ying said solemnly.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.
