Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 317 Beep, Loyalty Card!

After reaching an agreement, Uchiha Gen called Zhu Rong down, and the two rode a dragon to the heavens together.

Then, some people were moved from Qiangliang to Zhurong, and the group chatted as they returned to the autumn outing campsite.

Since all the ingredients for dinner had been collected in the morning, the afternoon activities were simply for playing.

Everyone enjoyed playing in the water, swimming, diving, rafting, playing cards, and more. They had a great time all afternoon and only returned to Konoha Village after dinner, still feeling quite unsatisfied.

Time flies, and a year and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

The time has changed from autumn of Konoha 55 to spring of Konoha 57.

For the past year and a half, Konoha Village has been very peaceful. In fact, not only Konoha Village, but the entire ninja world has been quite peaceful.

Without war, forces large and small, both overt and covert, are accumulating strength at their own pace.

It is worth mentioning that Kisame Hoshigaki and Juzo Biwa have received invitations from the Akatsuki organization and have joined the organization.

Recently, Uchiha Gen has been in a very good mood because he is about to have two happy events.

The soul power needed for the evolution of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has been almost fully stored; it will take at most another week before the evolution can begin.

Significant breakthroughs have been made in the research of cultivation techniques. Currently, techniques for refining essence into qi have been developed, and techniques for refining qi into spirit are not far behind.

As for the cultivation methods at the levels of Refining the Spirit to Return to Emptiness and Refining Emptiness to Unite with the Dao, they still need to be practiced first and then designed, researched, improved, and implemented based on the actual situation.

This cultivation technique, designed specifically for his own circumstances and being the first cultivation technique in the ninja world, was named "Yuanshi Benjing" by Uchiha Gen.

It not only conforms to the actual situation of this cultivation technique, but also embodies Uchiha Gen's beautiful vision of becoming a supreme Taoist god like Yuanshi Tianzun!

Once he had deduced the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation level of the "Primordial Scripture," Uchiha Gen planned to officially begin his cultivation.

That morning, Uchiha Gen was handling his duties smoothly in the police chief's office when a sudden knocking sound rang out on the door...

"Minister, a ninja named Kabuto Yakushi wishes to see you. What is he...?"

Yakushi Kabuto?

Could it be that that matter has been accomplished?

Uchiha Genshin's mind raced, and without looking up, he said, "Let him in, and make another cup of tea."

He even brewed a cup of tea. It seems the minister values ​​that young ninja quite a bit.

Sanji Uchiha's mind raced, but he immediately replied, "Yes, Captain."

Two minutes later, Kabuto Yakushi, wearing a Konoha ninja headband, black-rimmed glasses, a Chunin vest, and a black bodysuit, sat respectfully opposite Gen Uchiha, holding a cup of fragrant tea with wisps of steam rising from it...

After taking a sip of tea, the pharmacist's expression turned serious as he said, "Lord Xuan, I have made what you requested."

"Very good, how's the effect?" Uchiha Gen leaned back in his chair and smiled slightly.

"The medicine I developed is divided into three levels: low-level medicine can delay facial aging by one year, medium-level medicine can delay facial aging by five years, and high-level medicine can delay facial aging by ten years."

"Unfortunately, the super potion that could freeze one's appearance and prevent aging failed, but the failure is only temporary."

"I've come up with a better idea. As long as we keep experimenting, we'll be able to develop it successfully sooner or later!"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, speaking with confidence and radiance.

Wow... As expected of Kabuto Yakushi. I only asked him to research a potion to delay aging and maintain appearance, but he went straight for the "Youth-Preserving Pill" and ran wildly down the road.

"A great idea, but if this super-potion is developed, it can't be released to the market. You understand what I mean?"

"I understand," Kabuto nodded.

Even if this medicine is priced very high, it's a one-off deal; every sale means one less customer, making it impossible to generate a steady stream of revenue.

These anti-aging drugs are high-end products, targeting wealthy people and designed to keep them hooked.

Women would go crazy for it, and men would probably be very interested as well.

"Well done, I want to reward you."

"Go find Elder Setsuna in a bit and tell him about this. You'll be in charge of manufacturing, and we Uchiha will be in charge of selling."

"The profits will be split 40/30: 40% for the Uchiha, 30% for you, and 30% for Orochimaru-sensei."

Such highly profitable businesses cannot be sustained without powerful forces and experts to keep them in check.

He and Orochimaru were the ultimate suppressors, responsible for sending opponents that even the Uchiha clan couldn't defeat to the Pure Land to enjoy their blessings...

Upon hearing this, Kabuto was startled and quickly put down his teacup, waving his hand and saying, "Lord Gen, this is too much. I am not worthy of so much..."

"No, you deserve that much."

"This 30% will not only be your source of funding for future research, but also the source of funding for the orphanage."

"Don't you want the children in the orphanage to have a better life?"

"Also, after a while, I will work on getting your Dean Pharmacist Nonou back."

"Your greatest reward to me will be if you work hard for me and Orochimaru-sensei from now on and give full play to your talents."

Once he awakens the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he plans to confront Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.

Whether things go smoothly or not, getting the pharmacist Nonou, who is still working as a spy and gathering intelligence, back is a piece of cake.

He didn't believe that in the face of absolute power, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others would dare to disregard their own safety, that of their families and clans, and would take the risk of confronting him head-on. It was highly likely that they would give in.

Kabuto Yakushi suddenly stood up, his whole body trembling with excitement, his eyes reddening, and he bowed deeply, his voice choked with emotion, saying, "I entrust my life to Lord Gen and Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Gen chuckled and said, "Alright, it's a deal. I'll be watching your performance from now on."

"Go ahead, stop acting like a timid girl, go and discuss things with Elder Shaka."

"By the way, make six...seven high-grade potions and send them to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, then I'll take my leave, Lord Xuan."

"Um."

After saying this, Kabuto bowed again, then turned and left cleanly and neatly.

After discussing a cooperation plan with Uchiha Setsuna, Kabuto immediately returned to his laboratory to work on liver medicine.

To repay Uchiha Gen's kindness, he worked through the night to prepare the medicine, and the next day, Uchiha Gen arrived at work with dark circles under his eyes and delivered seven high-grade potions.

After finishing his business in the morning, Uchiha Gen asked Mikoto to arrange for the three families to have a get-together at his house that evening when he went home for dinner.

In the afternoon, while at work, Uchiha Gen used the Flying Thunder God Technique to go to Sunagakure to see Pakura, who had become the Fifth Kazekage.

That's right, Yekura has become the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure.

After tireless efforts, Sunagakure discovered traces of the Akatsuki organization and Sasori. However, their joy turned to sorrow when they discovered the Third Kazekage, who had been turned into a human puppet.

With hopes dashed, and thanks to Uchiha Gen's influence, Pakura's own accumulated experience, and the support of Chiyo and others, Pakura unsurprisingly became the Fifth Kazekage.

For the past year and a half, Uchiha Gen went to Sunagakure twice a month, once to deliver grain to Pakura and once to guide Pakura in her training.

Uchiha Gen was very generous to his women, sharing his knowledge of Fire Release and Wind Release without reservation, and also offering his own insights into Scorch Release.

After a year and a half of dedicated training, Yekura's strength has reached the Kage level.

She not only became the first Kazekage to master Wind Release techniques, but also the first female Kazekage in the ninja world!

Based on the surprise he brought this time, Uchiha Gen felt that Yekura should at least fulfill his wish to do *that* in the Kazekage's office, right?
