Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 291 Uchiha Fire Formation

Although Yekura is somewhat naive and doesn't fully understand the wickedness of human nature, she still has to be saved.

Putting aside the schemes to control Sunagakure, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing as his woman.

Therefore, Uchiha Gen patiently followed behind Pakura, never leaving her side to avoid any accidents.

Uchiha Gen didn't want to end up like Namikaze Minato, who possessed the fastest speed in the ninja world but couldn't catch up at crucial moments, even if it was the crucial moment Obito mentioned...

Following Yekura, we arrived at the ambush site from the original story: a mountain path with cliffs on both sides, perfect for hiding people.

In addition, the island is shrouded in fog all year round, making it virtually impossible to detect the ambush on both sides of the mountain road without any means of perception.

Just like in the original story, a handsome young Kirigakure ninja with a kind and honest smile emerged from the thick fog.

After a well-disguised conversation, the Hidden Mist ninja stepped aside to let Pakura go first.

Yekura stepped forward unprepared, and at that moment, the Hidden Mist ninja suddenly pulled out a kunai and stabbed it toward Yekura's back with a ferocious and resentful expression.

However, unlike in the original story, the Hidden Mist Ninja did not strike. Instead, he remained frozen in place, maintaining his attack posture as if he were frozen solid.

Two black lines spread upwards from the feet of the Hidden Mist ninja, quickly covering his entire body.

Sensing the abnormality in his body, the Hidden Mist ninja's expression changed drastically, and for a moment he didn't know what to do...

Just then, Ye Cang, noticing that the person behind him hadn't followed, turned around and was slightly taken aback when he saw the posture of the Kirigakure ninja before his expression changed drastically.

The next moment, a slight whooshing sound rang out, and a dense rain of kunai fell from the thick fog. Yekura didn't have time to think and hurriedly took out kunai from her ninja tool pouch to forcefully defend herself.

There's no time left to use ninjutsu. Although she's likely to be seriously injured, she has a chance to survive if she can use the summoning jutsu.

Just as Ye Cang had mentally prepared herself, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

The figure grabbed Yekura's slender waist, and black chakra surged from his body, quickly transforming into a half-skeletal giant.

The skeletal giant was pitch black, with eyes like two blood-red lanterns radiating red light, adding to the terror of this misty place.

Clang, clang, clang... The dense rain of kunai struck the black skull, but they were all deflected, scattering sparks and sparks, leaving no trace.

"it's me."

Yecang was extremely sensitive at this moment, and when she was suddenly hugged, she instinctively thrust the kunai in her hand towards her chest, but stopped when she heard the familiar voice.

Ye Cang turned her head and exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and delight, "What are you doing here?"

"Let's talk about this later, let's deal with this problem first."

Uchiha Gen smiled, then grabbed Yekura and jumped up, taking Susanoo with him.

With his powerful physique, Uchiha Gen didn't need any further assistance; he simply jumped onto the cliffs on both sides of the mountain path.

The Hidden Mist ninjas lying in ambush on the cliff were startled when they saw such a huge creature suddenly appear.

This fear leads to certain death. Uchiha Gen activated the Soul-Soul Fruit's power, extracting the soul and lifespan of the terrified ninja.

The transparent souls and the shimmering white life force orbs all converged on Uchiha Gen, thud... either collapsing on the cliff, or thud... or falling off the cliff.

In order to kill Yekura, Kirigakure dispatched a squad.

Led by a Jonin, the rest were all Chunin, who used the kindest and most honest-looking faces and smiles to lure them in.

Yekura was, after all, a renowned ninja. If the sneak attack failed, the only option would be to surround and kill her.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"The target man is here, retreat immediately!"

The Jonin leading the group was slightly taken aback when he saw the Mangekyou Sharingan in Uchiha Gen's eyes. After regaining his senses, he shouted loudly and ran away as soon as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, the other surviving ninjas also fled without saying a word.

In fact, these Hidden Mist ninja hated Gen Uchiha even more than Pakura did, but deep down they also harbored a profound fear of him.

When facing Yekura, they could muster the courage to fight bravely, but when facing Uchiha Gen, their first thought was to save their lives.

"How can I save face if I let you leave?"

As he spoke, Uchiha Gen released Yekura with his left hand, spread his five fingers with his right hand, covered his five fingers with blue chakra, squatted down, and slapped his palm to the ground.

Uchiha Flame Formation!

The blue chakra instantly transformed into crimson flames, and a crimson barrier rose through the clouds and mist on the surrounding land, turning the area into a prison.

"Ahhh..."

Sometimes running too fast isn't necessarily a good thing. The Jonin leading the Kirigakure team was rushing too fast and couldn't brake in time, so he crashed headfirst into the barrier wall.

The crimson flames quickly spread from the point of contact to the entire body. The Jonin leading the Kirigakure team was burned and rolled around frantically, his screams gradually fading until he fell silent and became a charred corpse.

Sensing the disappearance of the strongest soul among his prey, Uchiha Gen felt a slight pang of pain in his heart and cursed inwardly.

Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated? Why are you rushing?

However, this may not be a bad thing for the Jonin leading the Kirigakure team. Although they died young and tragically, at least their souls have the chance to go to the Pure Land.

Unlike the remaining Hidden Mist ninja, they had no chance to go to the Pure Land to slumber.

The surviving Kirigakure ninja looked at the barriers rising from all sides, their faces filled with despair and fear.

If they were facing someone else, they might have a chance to rise up in anger, harbor evil intentions, and fight to the death. But their opponent was Uchiha Gen.

The surviving Kirigakure ninja were filled with fear and despair because of Uchiha Gen's methods, which allowed Uchiha Gen to extract their souls and lifespans.

With this wave of withdrawals, the entire Kirigakure squad was left with only the Kirigakure ninjas imprisoned in the mountain path.

As his lifespan surged, Uchiha Gen slowly rose, and the Susanoo enveloping him dissipated into the air...

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is indeed powerful and terrifying. You are truly amazing."

Watching an entire squad of Mist Ninja die at the hands of his own men in the blink of an eye, without even a ripple, Yecang sighed with emotion.

Snapped!

Uchiha Gen, who had stood up, ignored Yekura's words and slapped her hard across the buttocks.

"Ah...why did you hit me?"

Ye Cang let out a startled cry, her body involuntarily jumping up. She covered her burning, perky buttocks with both hands and glared angrily at Uchiha Gen.

Uchiha Gen remained unmoved, his face expressionless, and said, "Have you forgotten what I said back in the Land of Grass?"

Ye Cang's imposing manner faltered, and he stammered somewhat hesitantly, "You...you mean which sentence?"

"One should always be wary of others."

"You came alone to the territory of your former enemy without any precautions, and just believed whatever they said?"

"Do they really think peace talks can eliminate hatred? How naive and childish!"

"Do you know what will happen to you if I'm not around?"

"Lift your head up!"

Uchiha Gen's voice grew louder and louder, until it became a stern rebuke. Ye Cang, who was already feeling guilty, was startled and quickly looked up.

Looking up, he was met with Uchiha Gen's Mangekyou Sharingan and fell under Uchiha Gen's genjutsu.

Words are ultimately too weak; he wants Yekura to experience death firsthand, to etch this lesson into his very bones…
