Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 290 Completely Convinced (4200 words)

"Please enlighten me, sir!"

After Kisame Hoshigaki and Juzo Biwa finished speaking, one drew his meticulously forged ninja sword from his back, and the other drew his guillotine from his back. They then suddenly rushed out and charged in a cross-shaped attack.

Seeing this, Suigetsu Hobutsu immediately jumped back, giving the three space to fight and avoiding being caught in the crossfire.

Uchiha Gen drew the Musou from his waist, his eyes transforming into three-tomoe Sharingan, and charged forward.

Although it is agreed that advanced Homies cannot be used, it is still permissible to use the Unborn as a weapon.

Pipa Juzo held the knife in both hands and delivered a vertical slash, simple yet powerful and swift.

The Executioner's Blade is heavy, and the fact that Juzo Biwa can wield it with such ease shows that he is quite strong. Holding the blade with both hands would give him even greater strength.

Logically, one should avoid direct confrontation and then launch a counterattack, but Uchiha Gen did the opposite and directly swung his sword to meet the attack.

clang!

A tremendous clang of metal rang out, sparks flew, and a ripple of air rippled from the point of impact, leaving a noticeable notch on the decapitation blade.

Feeling the powerful force coming from his arm, Juzo Biwa was shocked. He had actually blocked the attack with both hands with just one hand...

At that moment, Kisame ran to the side and thrust his ninja sword at Uchiha Gen's waist, the timing of his attack was perfect.

Uchiha Gen didn't even look, and with one hand, his healthy wheat-colored skin quickly turned dark brown as he precisely grabbed the ninja sword.

Seeing this, Kisame raised his leg to kick Uchiha Gen in the back, but retreated halfway, dropping his sword and backing away.

At the same time, dazzling and dangerous blue-white arcs of electricity erupted from the Musou sword that Uchiha Gen was holding and the ninja sword he was grasping. With the help of the electricity, the Executioner's Blade was quickly cut in half...

Pipa Juzo didn't want his cleaver to be cut in two, so he quickly sheathed his sword and retreated upon seeing this.

Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!

Kisame quickly completed the hand seals as he retreated, leaping high into the air and spewing out a torrent of water as large as a small lake, with churning waves and surging torrents.

Uchiha Gen retreated repeatedly, swiftly stepping onto the cliff face, cleanly and efficiently avoiding the oncoming floodwaters.

Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!

Pipa Juzo stood atop the raging floodwaters, his hands forming a mudra.

Three rapidly spinning water columns shot into the sky, drawing graceful curves in mid-air, launching an attack from the left, right, and center.

Fire Release: Exploding Flame Bullet!

Uchiha Gen clasped his hands together to complete the hand seals, opened his mouth, and three golden-white fireballs spewed out, growing larger as they faced the wind, each the size of a bathtub.

boom!

The fireball exploded the instant it hit the water column, giving the water column no time to extinguish it. The powerful impact shattered the water column into pieces and vaporized a large area of ​​it.

Kisame did not attack Uchiha Gen, but instead used the Exploding Water Wave again.

This ninjutsu connected the canyon to the outer sea, causing a massive influx of seawater and a rapid rise in the water level.

The two rode the surging waves and charged toward Uchiha Gen.

Immortal magic, mighty fire extinguishes arrows!

Seeing this, Uchiha Gen smiled slightly, fused the natural energy he had collected during the previous battle with the chakra in his body in equal proportion, turning it into Sage Chakra, and then used it to cast a spell.

If the flames spewed by an ordinary Fireball Arrow are just a small stream, then the flames in the Immortal Magic version are a mighty river.

A vast expanse of pure white flames spewed from Uchiha Gen's mouth, spreading out and almost completely engulfing the canyon. Wherever the pure white flames passed, the temperature soared, the air distorted, and the heat became unbearable!

The pufferfish demon, who was watching from the top of the cliff, was completely dumbfounded by what he saw.

The scale and quality of this fire-style technique are truly terrifying.

Kisame and Juzo, who came riding the waves, were also stunned for a moment. After regaining their senses, they did not use any techniques to defend themselves, but instead jumped into the water and swung their limbs rapidly, quickly diving to the bottom.

blah blah blah...

The pure white flames collided with the pale blue seawater, and the sound of violent evaporation echoed in all directions. The seawater was rapidly reduced layer by layer, and thick water vapor filled the canyon.

The temperature of water vapor is also quite high; direct contact with the skin can cause burns, and if inhaled, it can burn the respiratory tract.

In the hazy canyon, the water that was originally more than 20 meters deep has been reduced to only a few meters, and the water that was originally slightly cool has been boiled into a hot spring.

Kisame and Juzo exchanged a glance underwater, then used their superior swimming skills to swim towards the sea.

This place is no longer safe; we need a better location. Otherwise, if they use the same fire escape technique again, they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Kisame from the Shippuden era could have held him off, but the current Kisame hasn't reached his peak yet.

Sensing the movement of the two, Uchiha Gen smiled faintly, and the next moment he jumped into the scorching thick fog. Before landing, his entire body was wrapped in a thin layer of black chakra.

Landing on the slightly hot water, Uchiha Gen walked on the water and quickly ran towards the sea.

Soon, Uchiha Gen emerged from the mist-shrouded canyon and stood steadily on the surging waves of the sea.

Kisame and Juzo, who were hiding in the sea, saw a figure on the surface of the water and quietly used their water to sneak towards the figure.

Although the two were trying to keep their movements secret, they were actually completely exposed to Uchiha Gen's perception.

Uchiha Gen was too lazy to play any clone techniques with the two of them, and dazzling blue-white lightning appeared on his naturally hanging hands...

The unruly and violent lightning became docile and obedient under the control of a powerful and subtle force. Two blue and white lightning bolts fell into the water, and then split in two, with four lightning bolts attacking the main body and the clone.

Although seawater is a medium for the propagation of electricity, most of the current is concentrated together, and the remaining tiny current does not cause any harm to the practitioner.

The two people's water clones were quickly punctured and turned into water currents that flowed into the sea.

Juzo was struck by the electric current, and his whole body was in excruciating pain. His mouth involuntarily opened, and bubbles gurgled out as he swallowed several mouthfuls of salty and astringent seawater.

If Kisame hadn't intervened in time, the outcome would have been decided.

Kisame, riding a shark, swallowed the blue and white lightning, and then carried Juzo quickly towards the surface of the water.

"Any ninjutsu that can absorb chakra?"

"He's got something."

Looking at the two people emerging from the water, Uchiha Gen smiled faintly, his demeanor calm and composed, as if he had come not to fight, but to have some fun.

"Sir, you are truly amazing, whether it was the Fire Release ninjutsu before or the precise capture just now."

"However, my lord, don't underestimate the moves that are about to come, or you might suffer a great loss," Kisame said with a serious expression.

Uchiha Gen nodded slightly: "I understand. Use whatever tricks you have."

Water escapes thousands of sharks!

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Kisame and Juzo completed their hand seals simultaneously and began casting their spell at the same time.

The once calm sea suddenly became turbulent, with waves at least ten meters high surging forward in layers...

Thousands of sea-blue sharks, several meters long and with sharp teeth, surged forward with the waves, led by a light blue water dragon over twenty meters long. For a moment, the sharks leaped and the dragon soared, creating a truly magnificent sight!

The immortal flames were extinguished!

This time, Uchiha Gen used more Sage Mode chakra, making it even more powerful than before.

A torrent of pure white flames erupted from Uchiha Gen's mouth, forming pure white waves of fire on the water's surface. Each wave of fire was generally a quarter higher than the water waves.

blah blah blah...

The sound of water vapor evaporating was incessant, and the flames and waves constantly canceled out the seawater at the bottom.

By the time the two attacks collided, the waves had reached roughly the same height.

In a collision of this scale, both the Thousand Shark and the Water Dragon Bullet are merely byproducts.

It melts rapidly upon contact with the seawater and flames, eventually becoming part of the scalding steam.

The three of them tacitly avoided the area shrouded in scalding steam and returned to a spot on the sea.

Kisame and Juzo's expressions were extremely grave...

The two could hardly believe that a fire-style attack weakened over the sea could still annihilate their powerful assault...

However, a fire jutsu of this scale must consume an enormous amount of chakra, right?

However, the two of them felt very uncertain when they saw Uchiha Gen's expression. He didn't look tired at all, as if he had severely depleted his chakra. On the contrary, he seemed very relaxed.

Despite their uncertainty, the two unleashed their most powerful attacks, and Uchiha Gen did not stop them, allowing them to use their methods.

Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!

Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!

This time, the two did not attack simultaneously; Juzo struck first, followed by Kisame.

Juzo squeezed out almost all of his chakra, but instead of using it to expel water, he used it to control the seawater.

Under Juzo's control, the seawater surged and piled up towards the sky, eventually transforming into a terrifying wave fifty meters high that crashed forward.

Uchiha Gen stood below, as if he were an insect standing at a human's feet.

Behind the towering waves, a gigantic shark rides the waves forward. The shark is transparently blue, with a dense array of sharp teeth, and its wide-open mouth is pitch black, like an unfathomable abyss.

The two's tactics were quite good; Juzo's attacks masked Kisame's attacks, which could confuse and disrupt the opponent's thinking.

Unfortunately, Gen Uchiha was very familiar with Kisame's methods, so dealing with him was not difficult.

The Great Shark Bullet Technique can absorb the chakra from the opponent's ninjutsu, thereby increasing the size of the shark. It is a very troublesome ninjutsu.

In the original story, Kisame was just unlucky to encounter Guy, who was his natural counter. Otherwise, most of the ninjas in Konoha would have been in grave danger if they had faced this ninjutsu.

This ninjutsu is effective against chakra, but not against sage chakra. No matter how advanced the Great Shark Bullet Technique is, it cannot compare to the Rinnegan.

Immortal Technique: Vacuum Waves!

As Uchiha Gen formed hand seals, he took a deep breath, then shook his head rapidly, and four crisscrossing wind blades shot out from the air.

These four wind blades are unlike ordinary wind blades. Ordinary wind blades are not noticeable unless you look closely. These four wind blades are like transparent gems, reflecting a dazzling luster under the sunlight.

Moreover, its size is unusual, several meters wide and tens of meters long, and its speed is astonishing, leaving traces in the void wherever it goes!

The first three wind blades sliced ​​through the waves, which were tens of meters high, both horizontally and vertically, making them look like a cake. The last wind blade slashed through the middle of the great shark's mouth.

Because the great shark could not absorb the incredibly refined wind blades formed from the nature of Sage Chakra, the entire great shark was sliced ​​horizontally in two and then quickly dissipated.

The chakra that controlled the giant waves was severed by the wind blades, creating gaps between the various sections of seawater and differences in speed, causing a significant drop in altitude and a substantial reduction in power.

Uchiha Gen easily dodged the crashing waves and landed back on the turbulent sea.

"My lord, my Great Shark Bullet Technique can absorb the chakra in the opponent's ninjutsu, eliminating the enemy's attack while making myself stronger."

"But why doesn't it work on your ninjutsu?"

"Could you tell me the key to this?"

After recovering from the disappointment of having his special move broken, Kisame Hoshigaki ran quickly across the sea. He stopped about three meters away from Gen Uchiha, his face full of confusion and curiosity.

Upon hearing this, Pipa Juzo, who was following closely behind, also perked up his ears.

"There's nothing you can't say."

"Because sometimes I don't use ordinary chakra when I cast spells, but rather Sage Chakra."

"The so-called Sage Chakra is made by mixing natural energy into one's own chakra in equal proportions."

"Your ninjutsu can absorb chakra, but it cannot absorb sage chakra, so it was easily defeated."

"The legendary Sage Mode?"

Pipa Juzo's eyes widened, and he replied.

"You have some knowledge, but I didn't activate Sage Mode. I was simply using Sage Chakra to cast the spell," Uchiha Gen said with a faint smile.

"What is Sage Mode?"

Upon hearing a new term, Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"You all know about the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, right?"

"We know," they both said in unison.

Since the Second Raikage created the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, this technique has been famous throughout the ninja world and is well-known to the world.

"Sage Mode is a state similar to Lightning Release Chakra Mode, in which Sage Chakra can be used."

"I'm a bit special; I can use Sage Chakra without activating Sage Mode, but the amount is limited."

"In Sage Mode, the ninja's ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu abilities are greatly amplified. The power of the techniques is several times or even dozens of times that of the normal state. In addition, it also has powerful sensory abilities."

"hiss……"

Kisame and Juzo gasped in shock upon hearing this.

Juzo had only seen the terms "Sage Mode" and "Sage Chakra" by chance in a fragmented and incomplete book, and he did not know the details.

"To master Sage Mode, one must have at least Kage-level chakra, and in addition, be extremely skilled at precisely controlling power."

"Because great power comes with great risk, one can be killed by natural energy if one is not careful."

"This is one of the powers that the First Hokage once controlled."

"But don't even think about it now, you're not qualified in any way."

"Do your job well, and when you reach the required level, I will gladly pass on my knowledge."

"Yes, sir!"

The two calmed themselves down and were completely convinced.

"I have to go now. Wait for my message."

"yes!"

After saying that, Uchiha disappeared.

The three of them met up and talked for a while before leaving.

……

A day later, Uchiha Gen secretly left the village again and traveled to the Land of Water using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Using the Flying Thunder God Seal as a means of communication, Uchiha Gen quickly located Pakura, who was traveling alone.

Although Luo Sha is ruthless and cruel, this girl is also incredibly bold.

A person goes on a mission to the former enemy Kirigakure without a single attendant. Even if he doesn't realize that Rasa wants to harm him, he should at least be a little wary, right?

I don't know if it's because I was too tired and my immunity was lowered, but I woke up today with a bit of a cold and a headache. Fortunately, it's not serious, but it inevitably affects my condition. I'm writing this haltingly, like squeezing toothpaste. Please forgive me if there are any problems.
