Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

"Wait a minute..."

"Perhaps the usual entrance to the Pure Land is not in mid-air, but really somewhere underground."

"Otherwise, why don't we see the souls of ninjas ascending to heaven when they kill other ninjas?"

"With the speed at which a soul can escape underground, no one would be able to detect it over that short distance..."

"Never mind, that's not a very important issue. What's important is whether my vision can be realized..."

Uchiha Gen paused in mid-air, muttering to himself for a moment, before continuing his flight through the Pure Land, exploring it...

In the present world, in the main hall of Orochimaru's secret research base in the Land of Whirlpools.

Tsunade's eyes were red and swollen as she stared blankly at the remnants of the Impure World Reincarnation...

Orochimaru reappeared in the hall, deliberately making footsteps to startle Tsunade from her reverie.

Orochimaru wasn't without emotional intelligence; after catching up with Nawaki and Tsunade for a while, he left the space to Tsunade.

"What, are you reluctant to part with it?"

"Should I leave them in this world forever?"

Tsunade was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Is it possible?"

"Of course it can be done."

"Those who are resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation are immortal and virtually indestructible. Unless the soul itself has a lifespan limit, they will not die even if the caster dies."

I am an exception, the one who casts the spell, because I am immortal!

"Of course, they are ultimately different from normal humans, having lost most of what normal humans possess."

"For example, organs, flesh and blood, diet, fertility, etc."

Tsunade said earnestly, "I don't care about those things, I just want them to be with me for the rest of my life..."

"If you can accept the significant risk of losing your soul, then I can help you."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Orochimaru chuckled, "Heh... Knowing my disciple as I do, he doesn't help people easily, not even a beauty like you."

"Although I don't think women are very interesting, he just happens to like them. He must have his eye on you."

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have reached some kind of deal, right?"

Tsunade nodded slightly, her emotions quickly cooling down.

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique is only virtually indestructible; there are still ways to counter it, such as sealing techniques or Gen's Mangekyou Sharingan ability."

"Sealing techniques can restrict the movements of those resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but they are far inferior to Xuan's terrifying ability to devour souls."

"The rope tree is fine, he won't mind, but it's a different story if it breaks."

"Once the soul is devoured, the last trace left in this world will be gone, and even the Impure World Reincarnation will be ineffective against it."

"If you're willing to take the risk, I don't mind spending a little more time performing the spell."

"For the sake of our past friendship, Duan, and Nawaki..."

After thinking for a moment with a serious expression, Tsunade shook her head and said, "Hmph... I think I'll pass."

"Let them rest in peace in the Pure Land. It's enough to have seen them once. I shouldn't be too greedy."

"Furthermore, the reappearance of someone who died many years ago in Konoha Village could cause quite a stir..."

"Orochimaru, this forbidden technique of yours has too great an impact on this world. I hope you will use it with caution!"

Orochimaru was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Haha...you, you actually dare to lecture me."

"This forbidden technique was invented by your second grandfather, and he was the first to use it."

"Should I resurrect him so you can give him a lecture?"

Tsunade was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, but her expression changed drastically when she heard the last sentence. She said fiercely, "Orochimaru, you are not allowed to desecrate my great-grandfather. Grandfather is not allowed."

"Don't worry, I'm still a Konoha ninja. Unless I really need their help, I won't disturb their rest."

"That would be best."

Tsunade's expression softened.

There was no other way but to ease the tension. Based on her understanding of Orochimaru, Tsunade felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Orochimaru had already obtained personal information materials about her grandfather and great-grandfather.

In addition, Orochimaru has collected information on countless powerful ninjas.

We definitely can't win in a fight, so what else can we do?

……

Within the Pure Land, Uchiha Gen, who had been flying away, stopped.

"We've flown over such a large area and haven't encountered anything. Is this godforsaken place always like this?"

"Do people in this world just sleep in the Pure Land after they die?"

"Alright, let's take care of the important matters first before exploring."

After muttering to himself, a small part of Uchiha Gen's soul fell from the sky and hovered beside a shimmering white burial mound, where a middle-aged man with a somewhat fierce appearance lay.

The next moment, Uchiha Gen's soul cautiously probed towards the shimmering white light...

Unexpectedly, there was no resistance at all when the coffin lid was opened, and Uchiha Gengen's hand went straight in.

Just as Uchiha Gen was overjoyed, the peaceful and serene soul in the coffin suddenly opened its eyes, but its eyes were full of confusion, as if it were still half asleep.

Seizing this opportunity, Uchiha Gen'e's wickedness grew, and an invisible wave of energy emanated from his eyes...

The middle-aged man's soul expression instantly became blank, and the next moment he transformed into a stream of light and entered Uchiha Gen's soul mouth.

"Hahaha……"

"It really works! My idea has come true."

"From now on, the countless souls in this pure land will be vegetables in this garden, and I can eat them whenever I want!"

"Furthermore, with the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, I don't need to worry about the negative effects of absorbing souls, such as memory loss, personality splitting, or mixed spiritual abilities..."

"Your cultivation progress will definitely advance by leaps and bounds from now on!"

Uchiha Gen emerged from the coffin and laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.

As the middle-aged man's soul disappeared and Uchiha Gen emerged, the luminous white coffin shattered as if glass had broken, turning into white specks of light that merged into the gray-black soil.

After venting his emotions, Uchiha Gen began devouring souls one by one again...

Only when he reached the limit of what this small portion of the soul could bear did Uchiha Gen begin to continue exploring the Pure Land with satisfaction.

After flying for a while, Uchiha Gen's attention was drawn to a beam of light.

If the light emanating from the strongest soul graveyard encountered before was like an electric light, then this beam of light was like a super searchlight piercing through the gray-black mist, attracting attention from a great distance.

Flying towards the coffin radiating a dazzling beam of light, Uchiha Gen peered inside from the side of the transparent, luminous white coffin, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Hmm... an "old acquaintance".

She had long yellow hair, wore a black and white striped turtleneck trench coat, cinched at the waist with a black silk ribbon, and wore a green thermal undershirt underneath. She had a long, horse-like face with no eyebrows and sported a mustache and a small mustache.

This guy is none other than Hozuki Gengetsu, the Second Mizukage of Kirigakure, who made a name for himself during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original story.

After observing for a moment, Uchiha Gen slipped away.

Even if it could eat, let alone not be able to now, the quality of its soul upon entering the Pure Land wouldn't be enough to devour Hozuki Gengetsu's soul.

In addition, he had a good impression of this guy; even when it came to food, he was always put last in line.

There are far too many souls in this pure land.

If we just eat them one by one, who knows how long we'd last...

After that, whenever Uchiha Gen encountered a dazzling pillar of light, he would go and take a look, and he would see many "old acquaintances".

Each of them was once quite famous in the ninja world, the lowest level being a Jonin, and they had even seen most of the Kage who had died in various villages.

"Tsk tsk..."

After a while, Uchiha Gen looked at the magnificent scene in the distance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The most dazzling beams of light before paled in comparison to what lay before them.

too exaggerated!
