Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 33 No Life

Where is the teacher?

"Fine, you secretly drank alcohol!"

After putting away the money box, Hongdou opened the wooden door but didn't see Orochimaru. Instead, she saw Uchiha Gen taking a swig from a sake bottle and exclaiming in surprise.

"The teacher had to leave early."

"Would you like to try some wine?"

"It's delicious!"

Uchiha Gen casually sat on the cushion, picked up the sake bottle, and tempted it with a smile.

With a gulp, Red Bean's throat bobbed, then she shook her head violently and said, "You can't drink alcohol if you're not an adult, and it's one of the three forbidden things for ninjas."

"laugh……"

"What are you laughing at?"

Red Bean puffed up with puffs, two little bumps forming on its cheeks.

"What 'three prohibitions for ninjas'? I've risked my life for Konoha, can't I at least enjoy myself?"

"What's wrong with coming here once or twice occasionally?"

"In fact, relaxing the mind and body is more conducive to the growth of ninjas and the execution of missions."

"After all, nothing lasts forever. Even the moon has its phases. Haven't you noticed that many ninjas choose to relax at various restaurants after completing a mission?"

The so-called three prohibitions for ninjas are money, alcohol, and women.

The reason why the ninja world advocates the Three Prohibitions for Ninjas is not only because these things may indeed affect ninjas' ability to perform missions, but also more so to control ninjas and maintain their combat effectiveness and fighting will.

Upon hearing this, Hongdou's heart stirred; it seemed to make some sense.

"Then I'll try some too."

Red Bean ran over and sat down next to Uchiha Gen, her face full of anticipation.

Uchiha Gen smiled and poured Anko a glass of wine, which Anko picked up and downed in one gulp.

"Cough cough... Liar, it's spicy, and it doesn't taste good at all."

Hongdou's face turned red, and she coughed repeatedly.

"I don't think it's any different from water."

It's just sake. Compared to the various spirits I drank in my previous life, it doesn't really feel the same. I just drink it for fun.

"Do you have a loss of taste?"

Red Bean couldn't understand it. It was so spicy, yet the taste was so much worse than dessert.

Uchiha Gen pursed his lips, said nothing, tilted his head back and opened his mouth, a stream of clear water poured into his mouth, glug glug... soon most of the pot of sake was gone.

Red Bean didn't understand, so she stared in disbelief...

With a snap, Uchiha Gen placed the sake bottle on the low table, stood up, and said, "I'm going back. What about you?"

"Wow, that's amazing, he's not drunk at all."

Uchiha Gen smiled slightly and remained silent.

What's a little sake? In his previous life, although he wasn't exactly a god of wine, he could still drink a pound and a half of 54-proof liquor.

Although this body is not yet fully developed, it is much stronger than in its previous life, and has a high tolerance for alcohol; a pot of sake has basically no effect on it.

"I want to leave with you. Now that I have money, I want to go eat dessert."

"Take it easy, and don't forget what Orochimaru-sensei said."

"I see, you're already putting on airs like a senior brother so quickly..."

"It's mainly because it's embarrassing to have a chubby junior sister."

"Pah, that's nonsense. I'm the type who can eat anything and not gain weight."

Uchiha Gen shook his head inwardly, realizing that the man had absolutely no self-awareness.

You probably don't know that you're practically round like a ball in Mizukage, do you?

You're not immune to weight gain; you just burn calories through a lot of exercise.

The two bickered and played around before leaving Orochimaru's house. They walked along the street for a while before going their separate ways.

Back at his home in the Uchiha clan compound, Uchiha Gen sat on the white sofa, rested for a moment, then took the sword off his back, placed his right hand on the sword, and drew out a plum-sized ball of shimmering light.

He absorbed the ball of light, then took the Kusanagi sword given to him by Orochimaru. He mobilized his soul and stored lifespan to form a ball of shimmering light the size of an apple. With a thought, the ball of light landed on the Kusanagi sword.

Soon, a magical change occurred: tiny eyes, a nose, and a mouth appeared on the slender blade of the Kusanagi sword, and the Kusanagi sword automatically flew into the air.

"Master," the longsword replied, its voice cold and resonant.

Before Uchiha Gen could speak, a flash of crimson light appeared, and a miniature crimson dragon flew to the side of the Kusanagi sword, swimming up and down, curiously examining the now-alive Kusanagi sword.

"From this day forward, your name will be Wusheng (无生)."

"I hope that when you draw your sword, you will leave no survivors!"

Uchiha pondered for a moment and then gave the new high-level Homies a name.

"Yes, Master!"

As he spoke, Wusheng seemed impatient with Zhurong swimming around him. He looked her over and slashed at her with his sword.

Zhu Rong dodged, spewing two flames from his nostrils, and roared, "How dare you be so disrespectful to your elder brother! Believe me, I'll roast you!"

"I'm not afraid of being roasted," Wusheng said coldly.

"Alright, you two."

Upon hearing their master's words, the two high-ranking Homies temporarily fell silent.

"Neither of you can do anything to the other right now, but Zhurong was born first, so Wusheng, you should show her some respect."

"Zhurong, don't put on airs just because you were born first. Since you consider yourself the eldest brother, you should act like one."

"Your younger brother needs to be cherished, only then will he respect you."

Uchiha Gen spoke again, his expression serious as he lectured him.

"Understood, Master."

"Yes, Master."

Uchiha Gen wasn't saying it was random; he was saying that currently, neither Zhu Rong nor Wu Sheng could really defeat the other.

Although fire overcomes metal, the maximum temperature that Zhu Rong can currently generate is not enough to melt the Kusanagi sword, which is made of the hardest material in the ninja world.

The melting point of iron is 1538 degrees Celsius, while that of steel is around 1500 degrees Celsius. As the carbon content increases, the melting point decreases.

Similarly, Wusheng is also helpless against Zhurong. As a collection of fire elements, Zhurong is immune to most physical attacks.

"Alright, you guys go have fun."

"Remember not to leave the house, and don't fight."

"Yes, Master."

Watching the two advanced Homies chase each other away, Uchiha Gen got up and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

While cooking, Zhu Rong and Wu Sheng ran into the kitchen, and Zhu Rong lay down next to the gas stove to suck the flames for food.

Seeing this, Wusheng floated in mid-air, staring longingly at Uchiha Gen...

Left with no other option, Uchiha Gen could only take out a kunai and two shuriken from his ninja tool bag and place them on the stove.

Wusheng pounced on the stove, opened his mouth and bit down, crunch crunch crunch, the kunai and the shuriken disappeared little by little...

By the time Uchiha Gen went to the dining hall for his meal, Zhu Rong and Wu Sheng had already finished eating. They were flying around up and down the stairs, playing hide-and-seek, having a great time.

After finishing lunch, Uchiha Gen rested for a while before taking out the Dark Travel Technique and Snake-type Ninjutsu scrolls to study.

Although the Dark Travel Technique is an A-rank genjutsu, it was still not difficult for Uchiha Gen, who figured it out after studying it for a while.

Fifteen minutes later, Uchiha Gen, who was lying on the sofa, quickly formed hand seals and successfully used the technique.

Illusionary Darkness Technique!

"Ah... Master, I suddenly can't see."

"Me too."

Zhu Rong and Wu Sheng, who were playing with their master in the living room, suddenly became the unscrupulous master's experimental subjects.

You can't use yourself as a guinea pig, can you?

However, Uchiha Gen wasn't entirely heartless. After confirming that the genjutsu was working, he dispelled it, preventing the two Homies from remaining in complete darkness.

"Hey, I can see it now."

"Is everything alright? Shall we continue?"

"it is good."

After mastering the Dark Arts, Uchiha Gen began researching snake-type ninjutsu.

Uchiha Gen didn't have that much talent for this, but fortunately he could understand it and was learning it little by little.

Just as Uchiha Gen was seriously studying ninjutsu, Shimura Danzo stormed into the Hokage Building and headed straight for the Hokage's office...
