Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 36 Instantly Kills the Uchiha

In the dark forest, lights twinkled as Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Shisui walked side by side.

The two were similar in build and attire, both wearing dark bodysuits and armor. The difference lay in the placement of their ninja swords, and Xuan was considerably more handsome.

Of course, Shisui wasn't bad-looking either; there were no ugly people in the Uchiha clan, regardless of gender.

"How are things going with Kakashi and Rin?" Gen Uchiha asked casually.

"They are all very good people."

"Minato-sensei is also very good," Uchiha Shisui said with a smile.

"Shisui, it seems you have gained recognition."

"Wow, that was fast. You're definitely more suited to Team 7 than I am, and more suited to Minato-senpai."

"That's not true. They've already accepted you."

"Haha, don't bother comforting me. Minato-senpai hasn't completely accepted me yet..."

Shisui felt guilty and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"But it's nothing. After becoming Orochimaru's student, I realized that Orochimaru is more suitable for me than Minato."

"You don't need to worry about it."

Uchiha Gen smiled and patted Shisui on the shoulder.

Minato Namikaze is a very loving person. He is friendly and gentle to everyone in the village, treating everyone equally.

Because of his universal love, few people can truly understand him.

To date, the only person who has truly entered his heart is probably Kushina Uzumaki, and even Kushina took a long time to do so.

The three disciples held some status in Minato Namikaze's heart, but not much higher than the others in Konoha Village.

In fact, Minato Namikaze and the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, are similar in some ways, namely, they are willing to sacrifice everything for the village, including self-sacrifice and killing those close to them.

If Kushina were to become an enemy of Konoha, Minato would probably kill her and then commit suicide.

As long as you don't become an enemy of Konoha, this kind of person will usually not refuse any reasonable or slightly unreasonable requests.

This is one of the reasons why he ultimately chose Orochimaru; Orochimaru's trust is invaluable.

Uchiha Shisui smiled but didn't say anything, thinking that this was a way of comforting him, and decided that he would definitely make it up to him when he had the chance.

In Shisui's opinion, there was no better teacher in the world than Minato Namikaze. Although Orochimaru was also good, he was still a notch below him.

Seeing this, Uchiha Gen said no more. He was just telling the truth, and it was none of his business how people thought about it.

During their conversation, the two arrived at the Uchiha clan's ninja encampment.

The Uchiha ninjas here don't know Uchiha Gen, but they are very familiar with Uchiha Shisui, and have even witnessed Shisui's rise to power step by step.

Upon seeing Shisui, everyone temporarily suppressed their grief and greeted him warmly, showing none of the pride they had shown towards other ninjas.

After responding to his fellow clansman, Uchiha Shisui smiled and raised his hand to introduce him: "This is Uchiha Gen, a ninja who is no less than me, and perhaps even more outstanding!"

The excellence that Zhishui refers to here does not mainly refer to strength, but rather to the depth and breadth of thought.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow. Goodness, if I didn't know you were Uchiha Shisui, I would have thought you were trying to flatter me to death.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Uchiha ninjas frowned, their gazes towards Uchiha Gen filled with suspicion.

The title of "Uchiha Twins" is basically only circulating among the Uchiha clans in Konoha.

These Uchiha clan members from Kirigakure had been stationed on the front lines and had heard very little about the situation. The only information they had was from the deceased Uchiha clan leader, who corresponded with Fugaku.

Even if they had never heard of it, or even if they had heard of it but never seen it with their own eyes, the pride of the Uchiha clan would still lead them to remain skeptical.

"Even better than still water?"

"Hmph... I'd like to see for myself then."

A slender young man, dressed in a dark, high-collared combat uniform, with an arrogant and unruly expression, stepped out from the crowd of onlookers, his eyes bloodshot.

This person has a two-tomoe Sharingan in his left eye and a three-tomoe Sharingan in his right eye. His Sharingan evolution is absolutely outstanding among everyone, and his strength is equally impressive.

In the entire Uchiha camp, only a few Jonin with three-tomoe Sharingan eyes could surpass him.

"Xiu, what are you doing?"

"Get out of here!"

Realizing that his previous remarks had caused trouble for Uchiha Gen, Shisui reprimanded him with a slightly stern expression.

Uchiha Shu's expression changed, and the arrogant look on his face disappeared, but he did not back down. Instead, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Shisui, I just want to see a ninja who is better than you."

"Yes, I'd like to see it too."

"Me too."

"We all are."

"Shisui, don't stop me. Xiu will know what he's doing."

"It's just a friendly competition among members of the same clan."

"..."

Hearing the commotion around him, Uchiha Shisui's expression grew even more gloomy.

Just as he was about to use his prestige to forcefully dismiss the crowd, Uchiha Gen spoke up.

"Alright, Shisui, I also want to spar with my fellow clansmen."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it. Did you really think I'd lose?"

Uchiha Gen interrupted Shisui, stepped in front of him, his dark pupils turning crimson, and his two two-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated...

"They had some courage, they didn't cower like cowards, so at least they didn't disgrace the Uchiha clan..."

"How can two two-tomoe gems be considered superior to Shisui's two three-tomoe gems?"

The Uchiha clan's worship of the Sharingan is deeply ingrained; the number of tomoe (comma-shaped markings) they possess signifies their strength or weakness. Therefore, Uchiha Shu spoke with great confidence.

"Why don't you try and see?" Uchiha Gen said calmly.

"Let's give it a try. If it's not working well here, let's try somewhere else."

"Need not."

"Are you scared?" Uchiha Shu asked, turning his head.

"There's no need for that; it'll be over soon."

Uchiha Gen shook his head, a faint smile on his face, his tone matter-of-fact, as if stating a fact.

His arrogant and conceited demeanor made the surrounding Uchiha frown. This guy was so proud, no, so conceited, that it disgusted them!

Why do you, with only four magatama, dare to speak to someone with five magatama like that?

Has he never been beaten?

"You...you're asking for death!" Uchiha Xiu gritted his teeth and said.

Uchiha Shu suddenly turned around to launch an attack, but at that moment Uchiha Gen made his move.

The Magical Shackles Technique!

With their eyes locked, Uchiha Gen immediately activated a genjutsu against Uchiha Shu, whose Sharingan was slightly superior to his own.

Uchiha Shu felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in a blood-red space, with five huge, rusty iron nails embedded in his body.

Although not in pain, one is completely unable to move, including the external body.

"A mere trifle, I..."

Within the genjutsu space, Uchiha Shu's Sharingan spun, and he thought he could easily break free, but his body remained completely still.

"How is that possible?"

Uchiha Shu's face was filled with disbelief, his Sharingan spun rapidly, and his eye power poured out like a flood.

"Move!"

"Move!"

"Get moving!"

Uchiha Shu roared fiercely, his expression becoming increasingly agitated and frenzied.

The next moment, Uchiha Shu broke free of the genjutsu space and regained control of his body. Just as he was about to retaliate, he felt a chill on his neck. Looking down, he saw a kunai pressed against his throat, and his face instantly turned ashen...

"See, it's over now, isn't it?"

Uchiha Gen opened his two two-tomoe Sharingan eyes and looked around with a playful expression.

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen's Sharingan, the Uchiha ninjas all averted their gazes, for the shock still lingered in their hearts...

They had watched as Uchiha Gen calmly took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, then walked up to Xiu and held the kunai to his neck.

The fact that a Sharingan with four tomoe makes genjutsu less impressive than a Sharingan with five tomoe is that Xiu couldn't break free even after such a long time. He could only be held in place and at Xiu's mercy!

While Xiu's illusion skills weren't exactly masterful, they were still quite good.

Such an effect demonstrates that the difference in their pupil power and their mastery of illusion techniques is enormous!

If it were someone skilled in illusion techniques with three-tomoe eyes, that would be one thing, but how could someone with only two-tomoe eyes possess such power?

The Uchiha ninjas didn't understand, couldn't comprehend, and couldn't figure it out, so they were all so shocked that they lowered their proud heads.

Uchiha Shisui was also shocked by what he saw.

He could do it too, but he has three tomoe eyes and is proficient in illusion magic; it would be impossible for someone with only two tomoe eyes to do it.

Xuan's pupil power is no less than his, and his skill in illusion is even greater!
