Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 299 Arrogant, Powerful, and Domineering

"Did I go too far?"

"No, I didn't go too far at all; I've been restraining myself the whole time."

"I want to ask you why Yekura was ambushed as soon as she set foot on the island where Kirigakure is located?"

"If I hadn't arrived in time, her chances of survival would have been extremely slim."

After all, Yekura was located on the main island of Kirigakure, and even if she managed to escape, she would face endless pursuit alone.

Yekura can't fly, nor does she know the Thunder God Technique, and she can't possibly cross the vast ocean on foot alone.

As long as Kirigakure guards the ships and conducts a comprehensive search, they will have nowhere to go and will be doomed to die sooner or later.

The commotion caused by Uchiha Gen startled everyone and alerted the Sand Village Anbu outside. In an instant, Sand Village Anbu members rushed in through the door, and shadowy figures could be seen at the window.

Rasa opened and closed his mouth to explain, but Uchiha Gen interrupted him first.

"My informant in Kirigakure told me that Kirigakure and Sunagakure have reached an agreement to appease Kirigakure's anger by sacrificing Pakura's life in order to achieve a ceasefire and peace."

"Using the lives of Sunagakure heroes to exchange for peace, and incidentally eliminating threats, ugh, how dark and shameless."

"Do you think I should believe the information provided by my informant, or yours?" Uchiha Gen asked with a half-smile.

The ANBU ninjas, both inside and outside the compound, were shaken upon hearing this. Their faces, hidden behind their masks, changed drastically. It seemed they had heard something they shouldn't have...

Chiyo and Ebizo seemed unaware of the situation, their gazes towards Rasa becoming increasingly suspicious...

Luo Sha was shaken and his expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I have never made such a decision, and Sunagakure will not exchange peace for the betrayal of heroes."

"This is a conspiracy by Kirigakure. They want to eliminate one of my Sunagakure's generals, sow discord between Sunagakure and the Uchiha clan, and even use this to sow discord between Sunagakure and Konoha."

"I bear some responsibility for not seeing through Kirigakure's conspiracy, and I will definitely help Yekura get justice afterward."

His agreement with Kirigakure was never written down; it was only a verbal agreement, leaving a lot of room for reneging.

Moreover, he had already sent people to silence the ninja in charge of the liaison, so there was no way to verify the story or investigate further.

Seeing that Rasa skillfully made excuses, Uchiha Gen was not surprised.

Those who can become Kazekage naturally possess a certain level of political acumen; shirking responsibility is merely a basic tactic for politicians.

"You make it sound nice, but I don't believe you at all. I think you did it."

"Hmph, there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. Please leave Sunagakure immediately, or you'll be responsible for all the consequences of any diplomatic incidents you cause," Rasa threatened expressionlessly.

"Hehe... I need to make a formal statement."

"I am not here on behalf of Konoha, nor on behalf of the Konoha Police Department or the Uchiha clan. I am here solely as Pakura's boyfriend."

"If I leave, everyone in Sunagakure will have to be careful."

"It's best not to leave Sunagakure even a step, otherwise Orochimaru-sensei and I will definitely give him a good welcome."

"Orochimaru-sensei and I are both hospitable people. We don't care about the Kage, elders, Jonin, Chunin, or Genin. We will warmly welcome them all."

"Perhaps they'll host us in the village, since there's a wider variety of ingredients here."

Uchiha Gen was too lazy to argue with Rasa. No matter how much he argued, he wouldn't get anywhere. Since words couldn't convince him, he would convince him with physical force.

Hearing the blatant threats, everyone, including Luo Sha, turned pale.

The presence of two renowned Kage-level ninjas lurking outside, and even harboring thoughts of infiltrating the village, poses a significant threat.

Let alone ordinary ninjas, even Rasa and Chiyo felt immense pressure.

Even if the master and apprentice teamed up for an assassination and attack, they wouldn't have been confident of surviving...

"Your actions not only break the rules, but also the alliance between the two villages. I will definitely report this to the Hokage."

Luo Sha withstood the pressure and threatened again with a blank expression.

Uchiha Gen grinned and said, "Heh heh... I told you I was speaking in a private capacity, so you can't understand human language, right?"

"If you really want to bring up the relationship between the two villages as allies, that's fine too. Orochimaru-sensei and I can handle it."

"Unless the Hokage wants to cause internal strife and destroy the hard-won peace, we can only punish him lightly as a warning."

"It's nothing, it doesn't hurt or itch. What can it do to me and Orochimaru-sensei?"

hiss……

That's a very meaningful statement. Has the power struggle within Konoha reached such a fierce stage?

It seems that Uchiha Gen and his disciples are at least not at a disadvantage, otherwise they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant...

"You can tell the Hokage every word of this, without missing a single one. I am not afraid."

"Of course, if you do that, I won't let it go unpunished; I'll definitely get my revenge."

"I hate tattletales the most. If they do, they'll blame me for being ruthless."

Sensing Uchiha Gen's domineering and forceful manner, Rasa's expression turned extremely ugly. For a moment, he felt trapped, unable to advance or retreat...

"Your Excellency Xuan, Ye Cang has indeed suffered a great injustice, but it was not necessarily done by Your Excellency Feng Ying."

"How about we each take a step back and discuss this properly?" Chiyo quickly tried to smooth things over when she saw things were getting out of hand.

"Yes, everything can be discussed. There's probably a misunderstanding here. Once it's cleared up, it'll be fine," Ebizo chimed in, trying to smooth things over.

"I think I've been quite sincere, but it seems your Kazekage isn't willing to back down..."

"Does he really think he's so great?"

"I have fought against the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, who is known as the strongest in the village."

"Even the strongest Kazekage, the Third Kazekage, was only so-so. Is the Fourth Kazekage really that strong?"

Uchiha Gen curled his lips and mocked without any politeness.

"Heh heh... Since you're so confident, then I'll have no choice but to learn from you," Luo Sha sneered.

Luo Sha was truly furious; this was intolerable!

They repeatedly provoked and mocked him, especially in front of so many people, including his subordinates…

He's a dignified Fengying, doesn't he have a temper and a sense of pride?

He wanted to see just how powerful the Mangekyou Sharingan really was...

Besides, who isn't a renowned powerhouse in the ninja world?

Chiyo's focus differed from Rasa's. Upon hearing this, her expression changed drastically, and she stared intently at Uchiha Gendo: "The Third Kazekage?"

"Have you met the Third Kazekage?"

Where is he now?

Ebizo, the other ANBU ninjas, and Pakura all turned their attention to Uchiha Gen.

At this moment, the furious Rasa also noticed another key point in Uchiha Gen's words, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could the Third Kazekage still be alive?

If he were alive, how would he conduct himself once he returned to Sunagakure?

Although he has already acquired the power that the Kazekage should have, given the strength, immense influence, seniority, and connections of the Third Kazekage...

Once he returns to the village, his position as Kazekage will definitely be in jeopardy!

No, he would never allow anyone to threaten his position, not even his predecessor, the Kazekage...

"I'd also like to experience Lord Fengying's skills firsthand."

Damn it, I won't feel better until I personally give Luo Sha a good beating!

If we don't act now, we won't have another chance.

In addition, this encounter will allow us to gather detailed information about Rasa, greatly increasing the success rate of the pufferfish demon's ambush.

After dealing with Rasa, Uchiha Gen looked at Chiyo with a half-smile and said, "Is this really something we have to talk about here?"
