Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 351 Everything is Ready

"What kind of grave are you digging?"

"Do we really need to dig up a grave just to get some raw materials?" Uchiha Gen said, somewhat speechless.

Concern leads to confusion. Tsunade was taken aback upon hearing this. Yes, they were all ninjas, and they could obtain what they wanted without digging up graves.

She's making a big fuss over nothing.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

The Konoha Memorial Monument covers a considerable area, and it can take some time for someone who isn't familiar with the area to find the appropriate tombstone.

Uchiha Gen followed Tsunade, turning left and right for about two minutes, until they arrived at a tombstone. By the moonlight, they could see that the portrait on the tombstone was of a smiling, sunny young man.

"Rope Tree, please forgive your sister for disturbing your peace."

"I miss you so much, sister."

Tsunade bent down, resting her fair forehead against the tombstone and portrait, and murmured to herself.

Uchiha Gen did not urge her, patiently waiting for Tsunade to vent her emotions.

"Alright, you can do it now." Tsunade straightened up and turned her back to him.

Uchiha Gen stepped around to the tombstone, crouched down, and plunged his right arm, covered in earth-style chakra, into the ground, causing the ground to part as if flowing water...

Soon, a large piece of white leg bone was retrieved, and Uchiha Gen sealed it into a scroll.

Rope Tree was killed by an explosive tag trap. His body was torn apart and burned, and his death was gruesome, but he was not blown to pieces.

If Orochimaru couldn't extract enough genes, he wouldn't have made a deal with Tsunade in the original story; Tsunade isn't someone who can be easily fooled.

"Next place."

Tsunade silently turned and led the way, the two walking through the quiet, dark cemetery...

Of course, there's no way we'd be afraid. Let alone the two of us, even the kids from Konoha wouldn't be afraid to come here to play.

For the people of Konoha, this place is like Uchiha Gen's previous life visiting a martyrs' cemetery; it's very different from an ordinary cemetery.

A minute later, the two arrived at a tombstone with a portrait on it. The portrait showed a handsome man with a gentle and sunny smile.

"What are you doing?"

Tsunade looked down at her arm that was being held, and turned her head back in dissatisfaction.

"There's no need to repeat what you said to your brother earlier here."

"Please consider my feelings," Uchiha Gen said earnestly.

"Neuropathy!"

Tsunade cursed and turned her head, saying, "Dan, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

The following sentence was perhaps because she didn't want to provoke Uchiha Gen, or perhaps she needed his help, or perhaps for other reasons, Tsunade didn't say it on the spot.

Uchiha Gen nodded in satisfaction, then went behind the tombstone and repeated his trick, breaking through the soil, piercing the coffin, and taking out the bones.

Buried underground for many years, both the rope tree and the broken corpse had turned into bones, and the coffins of average quality had also decayed considerably.

"Alright, let's go."

"Don't hug me here," Tsunade said reproachfully as she turned away.

"What should we do then?"

"If something goes wrong in the travel space, you'll be in danger."

After considering for a moment, Tsunade said, "I... I'll take your hand."

"That works too."

Uchiha Gen slightly raised his hand, and Tsunade reached out and passed through it. In the next moment, the two figures disappeared without a trace, more ghostly than ghosts.

Uchiha Gen and Orochimaru usually kept in regular contact, so Uchiha Gen was not completely unaware of Orochimaru's whereabouts.

However, it's not guaranteed that you'll find it just by going back; Orochimaru is very capricious.

We can only go there first. If we can't find it, we can use the spirit beast of Ryuchi Cave to send a message.

According to our usual contact, Orochimaru has recently been active in the Land of Water and the Land of Whirlpools, and he has even "abducted" some promising young boys, both boys and girls.

The speed of spatial jumps is extremely fast. Before long, Uchiha Gen and Tsunade arrived at a secret base within the territory of the Land of Whirlpools.

Upon arriving at the base, Uchiha Gen used his soul to sense the surroundings and discovered Orochimaru was there, likely in the laboratory.

Wow, still diligently conducting experiments late at night, no wonder he's Orochimaru.

After a brief sigh, Uchiha Gen led Tsunade to the laboratory.

Tsunade and Uchiha Gen walked side by side, Tsunade turning her head from side to side, constantly looking around at the places they passed, and gradually her expression turned ugly...

Uchiha Gen didn't feel anything at all; he had seen too many specimens and experimental subjects.

Upon arriving at the laboratory door, the door was only opened after triple verification using a password, fingerprint, and iris scan.

Such advanced and complex verification methods clearly indicate that the research project in this laboratory is extraordinary.

"How come you have time...?"

"Tsk... What a rare guest, Tsunade."

Orochimaru, dressed in a blue lab coat and wearing white rubber gloves, looked up and paused for a moment before breaking into a smile, though the smile seemed somewhat sinister.

"It has been a long time." Tsunade said expressionlessly, with a cool demeanor.

"We can talk about it later."

After saying that, Orochimaru continued working with his head down...

"Come on, let's go to the lounge and wait."

Tsunade nodded slightly and followed Uchiha Gen to the lounge for tea. Although she was very anxious inside, she still pretended to be calm and composed.

About half an hour later, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and Orochimaru walked in, wearing a light yellow kimono with black patterns, a purple rope-like belt around his waist, gold snake-shaped earrings, and long hair flowing down his back.

Uchiha Gen stood up and handed Orochimaru a cup of tea. Orochimaru smiled and nodded, then sat down and looked at Tsunade.

"Just say what's on your mind."

"They wouldn't be looking for an old classmate like me to catch up, would they?"

Tsunade was a little embarrassed to speak, so she looked at Uchiha Gen.

Gen Uchiha knew Tsunade was in a hurry, so he didn't tease her and took out two scrolls, tossing them to Orochimaru.

"These are the skeletal remains of Nawaki-shi... and Kato Dan. Please use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive them."

"Tsunade-senpai wishes to meet with them."

"Teachers can also catch up."

Orochimaru reached out and caught the scroll, then turned to look at Tsunade. Tsunade avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and her light yellow hair obscured her expression.

"Okay, I'll extract the genes tonight. If that's not enough, I'll culture and replicate them tonight as well."

"Go and catch two more sacrifices, and you can perform the spell tomorrow morning."

"No problem, I'll set off right away," Uchiha Gen said with a faint smile.

"mysterious……"

Tsunade raised her head, her eyes brimming with a hidden meaning.

Uchiha Gen understood the deeper meaning and laughed, "Don't worry, I won't arrest innocent people. Those two sacrifices must be scum and degenerates among the wandering ninjas."

Tsunade smiled, then lowered her head and remained silent.

Bang!

Uchiha Gen clasped his hands together, and white smoke rose up, revealing a shadow clone...

The shadow clone nodded to the main body and Orochimaru, then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared.

That's right, shadow clones can also use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Moreover, few in this world can stop Uchiha Gen's Shadow Clones and Naruto's Golden Body Clones, so there's no need to worry about safety at all.

The three then sat down to chat, but it was mainly Uchiha Gen and Orochimaru who talked, as Tsunade wasn't in the mood.

Ten minutes later, the shadow clone returned with two dazed-looking wandering ninjas, demonstrating remarkable efficiency.

With a bang, the shadow clone vanished in white smoke, and the information and remaining chakra returned to Uchiha Gen's body.

"Alright, Tsunade-senpai, things have been settled."

"Would you like to come back to Konoha with me to rest, or would you like to rest at the teacher's base?" Uchiha Gen asked, standing up.

"I'd better go back with you. I don't like living here," Tsunade said, standing up.

"Okay, thank you for your help, teacher."

"It's nothing," Orochimaru said with a faint smile.

"See you tomorrow, teacher. I'm leaving now."

"Hehe, okay."

After exchanging greetings, Uchiha Gen took Tsunade's smooth and soft hand and left.

Orochimaru leisurely finished his tea in the lounge, his gaze distant and deep, lost in thought...

After finishing his tea, Orochimaru stood up and flicked his sleeve. Two brown pythons shot out, wrapped around the necks of the two wandering ninjas kneeling on the ground, and dragged them away like dead dogs.

Tsunade didn't sleep a wink all night after returning to Konoha!

The next morning, before six o'clock, Tsunade, unable to contain herself any longer, ran straight to Uchiha Gen's house and knocked on the door...

Once Tsunade's situation is over, the new storyline begins.
