Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 29 Recognition

After speaking, Uchiha Gen jumped backward, forming hand seals with his sword in mid-air. The seals were completed when his legs landed.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

His chest bulged high, and a stream of golden-orange fire shot out from his mouth, transforming into a fireball more than three meters in diameter, which rolled forward with intense heat.

Facing the oncoming fireball, Orochimaru neither dodged nor evaded. As he slashed down with his Kusanagi sword, it quickly extended, its blade covered in a layer of blue chakra.

As the sword fell, the fireball was not only split in two, but the sword continued to extend, forcing Uchiha Gen to dodge.

The blazing fireball, having lost its shape, and with Uchiha Gen unable to control it through chakra output due to his evasive maneuver, no longer posed a threat.

Orochimaru let the flames fly past him, quickly retracting his Kusanagi sword and putting it back into his mouth, looking completely relaxed and showing no intention of retaliating.

The gap between a Kage and a Jonin is enormous. Even a Jonin from the Uchiha clan, Orochimaru didn't think could pose a threat to him.

Ok?

Suddenly, Orochimaru seemed to sense something, let out a soft "Eh," and suddenly jumped back. The next moment, his hands emerged from the soil.

Realizing the attack had missed, a figure burst out of the mud, revealing himself to be Uchiha Gen, with three shuriken already flying out.

At this moment, Orochimaru was in mid-air and could not get any leverage, but the flexibility of his body was far beyond that of a human. He turned his head to one side and twisted his waist at an exaggerated angle, dodging all three shuriken.

These three shuriken are just ordinary shuriken; they're just for display, and there's no need to reveal the existence of the Homies.

To ordinary ninjas, it could be explained by the control of steel wires, but it couldn't be hidden from Orochimaru, whose soul was intact and whose senses were at their peak.

Seeing that their attack had missed, the two Uchiha Gen stood side by side, simultaneously forming hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Wind Release Breakthrough!

Using a combination of ninjutsu, the wind fueled the fire, and the golden-orange flames surged forth like a tidal wave. With continued enhancement, the flames turned a golden yellow, and although the range was only one-third that of Madara Uchiha, the temperature of the flames was much higher.

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

When Uchiha Gen was training in fire attribute nature transformation, he focused more on how to increase the temperature of the flames.

Raising the temperature of the flames is extremely difficult, but with Zhu Rong as a reference, it is much easier compared to other ninjas.

Flames of different colors have different temperatures.

Dark red flame: around 600 degrees Celsius. Deep red flame: around 700 degrees Celsius. Orange-red flame: around 1000 degrees Celsius. Pure orange flame: around 1100 degrees Celsius.

Golden-orange flame: around 1200 degrees Celsius. Golden-yellow flame: around 1300 degrees Celsius. Golden-white flame: around 1400 degrees Celsius. Pure white flame: around 1500 degrees Celsius.

Feeling the intense heat rushing towards him, Orochimaru couldn't help but show a serious expression on his face.

The combined power of this ninjutsu is generally insufficient for water-style techniques, and wind and lightning techniques are clearly unsuitable.

Earth Release can withstand it, but unlike floods and waves, fiery waves are too scorching and won't be pleasant.

As a teacher, I can't afford to lose face.

With this thought in mind, Orochimaru bit his hands, squatted down, and pressed them to the ground, causing two circles of black lines to spread out.

The Rashomon of Spirit Communication!

The earth trembled, and a tall, majestic gate with a red background and white fangs emerged from the earth, the gate opening wide and devouring all the flames.

With its mission accomplished, Rashomon vanished in a puff of white smoke, leaving the training ground pitch black, the once vibrant grass now reduced to ashes.

Wind Release: Net!

Faced with the area shrouded in white smoke, Uchiha Genko dared not advance rashly. He had his shadow clones use Wind Release while he himself formed Fire Release hand seals.

So far, Uchiha Genkai doesn't have many Wind Release ninjutsu; he only has two: one is Great Breakthrough, and the other is Net.

The former is to enhance the power of Fire Release, while the latter is to restrict the opponent, allowing the slower Fire Release to hit the person.

A strong gale blew toward the area shrouded in white smoke. Within the gale were tangible wind bands that crisscrossed and formed a large net for hunting.

The white smoke quickly dissipated, but the place was empty. The wind lashed against the lush trees, causing the leaves to dance wildly and leaving crisscrossing marks on the trunks.

Since the heavens aren't there, then...

Upon realizing this, the two Uchiha Gen immediately sprang into action, constantly changing their positions.

Orochimaru, who was underground, saw that his sneak attack had failed, so he devised another plan.

The earth trembled slightly, and Uchiha Gen saw bulges swimming towards him, not only fast but also forming an encirclement.

*Puff puff puff...* The next moment, the bulge burst open, and large snakes, some green, some black, and some brown, burst out of the ground. Each one was as thick as a water bucket, and they attacked from all directions.

While Uchiha Gen was distracted by Orochimaru, Orochimaru secretly hid himself using Earth Release, preparing to make his move at the opportune moment.

Fire Release: Dust Concealment Technique!

Uchiha Gen and his shadow clone used the same ninjutsu at the same time, spitting out two balls of high-temperature flames and scorching dust. The dust landed and quickly spread in all directions, like rolling gray waves.

sizzle...

Unable to withstand the intense heat of the flames and the scorching ash, the giant snakes hissed in agony, thrashing wildly in the dust before finally vanishing in puffs of white smoke.

Hidden in the shadows, Orochimaru couldn't help but grin as he saw the intense heat and dust in the training ground. He certainly knew quite a few fire-style ninjutsu.

They've even mastered the relatively difficult and rare Fire Release ninjutsu, Dust Concealment, which is quite troublesome.

The high-temperature dust completely obscured Uchiha Gen's body temperature, and the thermal imaging perception he obtained from the snakes was unable to detect his true location.

I still can't launch a sneak attack; I'll have to resort to ninjutsu.

Wind Release Breakthrough!

The power of this ninjutsu is determined by the user's chakra; when used by Orochimaru, a Kage-level ninja, it is extremely powerful.

A continuous stream of strong winds spewed from Orochimaru's mouth. The wind was so strong that even a ninja who could use chakra to absorb the ground would lose their footing. Sand and stones flew everywhere in the training ground, and the hot dust was quickly blown away.

"The test is over. Come out now. I approve of you."

Seeing that the training ground was empty, Orochimaru said loudly.

The next moment, two figures appeared on the empty training ground, one emerging from underground and the other appearing from beside the trees at the edge of the training ground.

"Heh heh, you even know the camouflage concealment technique. You've got quite a few ninjutsu."

"With fire, wind, and earth attributes, you can be considered a genius even without the Sharingan."

Orochimaru smiled faintly on his pale, bloodless face, and exclaimed in genuine admiration.

Although his disciple's strength has not yet reached the threshold of Kage level, his strength is still among the best of Jonin.

The key is that he is still young and exceptionally talented. The next few years will be a period of rapid improvement in his strength. With his guidance, as long as he doesn't fall, he has a good chance of becoming a Kage-level expert.

Such an outstanding disciple, if we can win him over, he will be our best helper!

It seems we need to pay more attention to this.

With a bang, Uchiha Gen, who had been selected from the training ground, vanished in a puff of white smoke. Two explosive tags floated to the ground, and Uchiha Gen's face paled slightly.

It's nothing serious, just that I used up a lot of chakra.

"The number of ninjutsu I know is far less than what you, Orochimaru-sensei."

"There is still a lot to learn."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen picked up the explosive tag and put it back into his ninja tool pouch. "These things are quite expensive."

Please read on, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays, as that's when we decide on a trial push. Thank you everyone!!!
