Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 289 The Favored Ones Are Fearless

Flying Thunder God Technique?

Is the Yellow Flash technique about to reappear in the ninja world?

The two, having regained their senses, simultaneously turned their gazes toward Uchiha Gen.

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it's the mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Upon confirmation, the two were shocked. The combination of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Flying Thunder God Technique was truly terrifying.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

"The person I need you three to kill for me is the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa."

"The reason I want to kill him is twofold: first, because he plotted against my woman, Ye Cang; and second, because he was in my way."

"With him around, it would be difficult for Yekura to become a high-ranking member of Sunagakure, let alone become the Kazekage. I cannot indirectly influence Sunagakure through Yekura and thus control the village."

"With the combined efforts of both villages, our chances of achieving our goal will undoubtedly be much greater."

"You understand, right?"

"Understood!" the three said in unison.

"The second person is Danzo Shimura, an elder of Konoha Village and head of the Root organization."

"This person is very hostile to the Uchiha, hostile to me, always opposing me, and always keeping an eye on the Uchiha."

"Furthermore, this person is one of the Third Hokage's right-hand men; weakening the enemy is equivalent to strengthening oneself."

"In the past year or two, I have had many conflicts with the Konoha leadership due to differences in ideology."

"They are too conservative, too concerned about their own interests, and put their own interests above Konoha's, which has seriously hindered my progress."

"In that case, rather than waiting for the opponent to make a move, it's better to strike first."

"After eliminating Danzo, I plan to find an opportunity to force the Third Hokage to abdicate."

"This is outrageous! He's so old and he's being reinstated? Reinstating him is one thing, but the key point is that he has absolutely no intention of appointing a Fifth Hokage."

"The most crucial point is that the Third Hokage must choose a successor whose ideals are similar to his; otherwise, it is impossible for him to become Hokage."

"People whose beliefs are diametrically opposed to mine cannot rise to power through normal procedures."

"If we can't become Hokage, we can't control Konoha, we can't steer Konoha's war machine into battle, and then our goal is out of the question."

The three men exchanged a glance and said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, sir, we will definitely complete the mission!"

"Yes, I will inform you of the specific time of the operation."

"My lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to get away when your orders come, since we all have duties to perform," Kisame Hoshigaki said in a deep voice.

"Kisame, what do you mean?" Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow.

"Since staying in the village is so stifling, let's just leave," Kisame Hoshigaki grinned.

"Heh... defection, huh?"

"That's a good idea. After fighting for so many years, it's time to go out and take a trip," said Juzo Biwa with a light laugh.

"I won't defect. The master needs someone to stay in Kirigakure." Suigetsu Hozuki said with a serious expression.

"Defection is an option."

"I've already killed the head of the Kirigakure ANBU. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Fuguki will become the head of the ANBU."

"With him around, your pursuit is just for show."

"Although with your strength, you can most likely survive the chase."

The two were shocked to hear this. The head of the secret service was dead?

When did this happen?

But it doesn't matter. The head of the secret service wasn't a good person. He's dead, so be it.

"Then it's decided, sir."

"After this war ends, I will defect after handling the aftermath with Juzo-kai Village."

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly, his appreciation for Kisame growing even stronger; Kisame was genuinely looking out for him.

In that case, he should reciprocate.

"Fuguki, when Kisame defected, you gave him Samehada."

"Huh?" Suigetsu Hobutsu asked, looking completely bewildered.

Without Samehada, his strength will drop by half. How can that be allowed?

However, a direct confrontation is absolutely out of the question; the only option is to maneuver from the side.

"My lord, the swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist must choose their masters, and Samehada has the strongest will of its own among the seven swords."

"If you can't get his approval, you can't use him at all, and you might even suffer a backlash."

"It wouldn't be surprising if they suffered a backlash at a crucial moment and lost their lives."

Uchiha Gen curled his lip and sneered, "Hmph, it's just a fish that followed the Three-Tails. If it dares to turn against us, we'll just destroy it."

"A knife that cannot be controlled by its master is nothing but a menace!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Gen cast a cold gaze at Samehada on the back of the Xihuashan Fuguki, causing Samehada to tremble in fear...

Samehada could sense that Uchiha Gen was not joking.

"Besides, I also believe that Kisame is capable of subduing Samehada. Their names and chakra are a perfect match."

"Besides, you're going to be the head of the secret service."

"If there's anything to do, your subordinates will handle it. You won't get any chance to take action; keeping you around would just be a waste of your talent."

"If you need to handle something personally, then notify Kisame and Juzo to do it for you. I can even handle it myself..."

Since Uchiha Gen had already said all that, Suigetsu Hobuki dared not ramble on any further and could only agree.

Of course, there would be some resentment in my heart.

However, Suigetsu Fuguki, who was terrified of Uchiha Gen, dared not hold a grudge against Uchiha Gen, so he blamed it on Kisame Hoshigaki.

This former subordinate is starting to show signs of getting ahead of him; he'll have to teach him a lesson when the opportunity arises.

"Thank you, sir."

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Fugu Demon."

As a member of the Hidden Mist Village, Kisame Hoshigaki was naturally not indifferent to the seven ninja swords passed down through generations of the Hidden Mist Village, especially Samehada.

As for his former boss's thoughts, Kisame spoke politely, but in reality, he didn't care much.

Having left Kirigakure, the system's constraints have vanished, and he's not afraid to compete in terms of strength.

"Don't tarnish Samehada's reputation," the pufferfish demon said, feigning magnanimity.

"Please rest assured, Lord Fuguki, I will definitely not do it," Kisame Hoshigaki said with a faint smile.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

"After you become rogue ninja, you may be approached by all sorts of organizations."

"Ignore the other organizations, except for one called Akatsuki."

"If the Akatsuki organization tries to recruit you, you can accept the offer depending on the circumstances."

"My lord, is this Akatsuki organization a secret organization you founded?" Kisame Hoshigaki asked.

"No, but this organization is very interesting, and I value it highly. You'll see once you're in."

"Understood," the two nodded in unison.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. I should be leaving now."

See you next time.

"Sir, please wait."

"Kisame, is there anything else?"

Kisame Hoshigaki scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "My lord, since we parted ways on the battlefield of the Land of Whirlpools, your name has become increasingly renowned, but Juzo and I have only heard about it secondhand."

"Our strength has grown over the years, so we would like to experience your power firsthand, sir."

"Can we do without special summoning beasts?"

"Then we'd be ganged up on and have absolutely no chance of winning."

Pipa Juzo quietly added, "You've forgotten the Flying Thunder God Technique. If the master uses the Flying Thunder God Technique, we won't stand a chance."

"Oh right, the Flying Thunder God Technique can't be used either."

"Sir, aren't our demands going too far?"

Uchiha Gen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter...

It seems that without a fight, past records and reputation alone will not be enough to convince the two.

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon was also very interested upon hearing this.

He was eager to know just how strong the person before him could be without those abnormal special summoning beasts and without using the Flying Thunder God Technique...

"A little bit too much is excessive."

"But that's alright, I can still convince you!"

Phew... I'm finally back. The fatigue from this journey really affected my condition.
