Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 368 The Victim Meets the Real Killer!

"Ah, finally I can move!" Naruto said excitedly.

"Phew...that was close, we're all safe now." Sakura patted her rather large chest.

"What just happened?" Sasuke asked coolly, one hand in his pocket.

"A mysterious person attacked us just now, but Brother Xuan took care of him."

Naruto belatedly realized, "Hey, why is Brother Gen looking like you, Sasuke?"

"So he's the Fifth Hokage! He's even more handsome than you, Sasuke!" Sakura exclaimed, her hands clasped to her heart and her eyes shining.

Sasuke wasn't angry when he heard this.

In terms of handsomeness, Sasuke still can't compare to his own brother, Gen. They look similar, but his temperament is far inferior.

"Because Brother Xuan received intelligence that the mastermind behind the release of the Nine-Tailed Fox was going to attack you, I became the one who waited for him to come to me."

"That person is the one who killed my father, your father's real culprit!" Sasuke explained.

"What? That's the murderer who killed our father?"

"Damn it, I missed my chance for revenge!" Naruto said with a frustrated expression.

Sasuke: "..."

"Stop dreaming. Brother Xuan said that even the three of us combined are no match for the real culprit behind the scenes."

"If Brother Xuan weren't here, the three of us would be in danger today."

Sasuke always regarded Uchiha Gen's words as gospel and believed them without a doubt.

"Yeah?"

"Why do I feel like we're invincible as long as the three of us are together?"

"idiot!"

"You're the idiot!"

"Okay, stop arguing, the exam isn't over yet."

While Sasuke and Naruto were bickering, Uchiha Gen had already sent someone to inform Kushina.

After a while, Kushina arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory and easily found her way to the front hall of the clan head's residence.

"Mikoto."

"Xuan, what brings you here?" Kushina asked with a smile.

Uchiha Gen put down his teacup and said with a serious expression, "I have captured the Nine-Tails' attack and the murderer who killed Fugaku. I will take you to see him."

"What?"

Mikoto and Kushina exclaimed in unison, their expressions changing drastically.

"Husband, you're not joking, are you?" Mikoto asked in disbelief.

"This is no laughing matter!"

"Let's go."

Uchiha Gen stood up, walked to Mikoto's side, and extended his left and right hands, looking at Kushina.

Mikoto immediately stood up and reached out to grab her left hand. Kushina walked over quickly and, without hesitation, naturally grabbed her right hand.

This situation made Mikoto's eyes flash with a hint of suspicion. Recalling that she hadn't asked him to impersonate Kushina during their previous intimate moments, some guesses arose in her mind.

brush!

The three figures disappeared from the living room, and the next moment they appeared deep in the forest belonging to the Uchiha clan.

In a small clearing in the forest, the bright and warm sunlight shone down. Uchiha Obito was bathed in the sunlight, his limbs and neck bound by five chains that emitted multicolored light, and black magic seals covering his feet and head.

This is a sealing technique that Uchiha Gen set up as a precaution.

This technique not only combines the five chakra nature transformations and nature transformations of fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water, but also incorporates natural energy, making it difficult even for Kushina to undo.

With a wave of his hand, Uchiha Genichi sent the five chains that had been binding the towering tree back into Obito's body, sealing away all of Obito's chakra.

Kushina and Mikoto's gazes fell on Obito, whose eyes were stained with blood and who wore an orange spiral mask...

Mikoto had never met Obito before, so she didn't recognize him, while Kushina had met Obito.

Kushina will never forget what happened that night!

"This...feeling..."

"It's him! It's him!"

Kushina pointed at Obito with an excited expression, her slender, pale fingers trembling slightly...

Upon hearing Kushina's familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Obito's body trembled slightly, but he quickly calmed down.

"Who exactly are you?"

Mikoto walked up to Obito with an expressionless face and reached out her hand towards Obito's mask.

Obito's entire power was sealed, and even his movements were restricted by the sealing technique. Apart from speaking, he couldn't move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as his mask was removed, revealing a face that was half normal and half slightly grotesque...

"This appearance... seems somewhat familiar," Mikoto said, a thoughtful look on her face.

"Obito!" Kushina exclaimed in disbelief, her expression changing drastically.

Genya Uchiha feigned shock...

"Heh heh... I never expected to meet you under these circumstances..."

"Uchiha Gen, I should have eliminated you at all costs much sooner."

Obito gave a sinister smile, slightly raised his head, and looked towards the direction where Kushina and Uchiha Gen were, with his empty eyes stained with dark red blood.

"Obito, how could it be you?"

"Didn't you sacrifice yourself in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge?"

Kushina's face was still filled with disbelief, as if she couldn't accept that the mastermind behind the death of her husband and the near death of her and her child was the kind child she once loved...

"Why couldn't it be me?"

"I miraculously survived the fall of Kannabi Bridge back then, and was saved by someone."

"That's right, the person who saved me was the real Uchiha Madara."

Mikoto then remembered who Obito Uchiha was, and exclaimed in shock, "Madara Uchiha really didn't die! He actually managed to deceive the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the others..."

"Then why don't you come back?"

Why attack Konoha?

Kushina's emotions gradually cooled, but her tone remained quite agitated.

"Although I survived, I was still seriously injured and unable to move freely for a short period of time."

"When I was able to move freely, it was during the great war between Konoha and Kirigakure. I received a message from Kakashi and Rin and went to find them."

"However, she witnessed Kakashi kill Rin with her own eyes..."

Kushina exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be?"

Kushina knew something about Obito and Kakashi's relationship, and knew about Obito's feelings for Rin. Suddenly suffering such a blow, it was inevitable that her temperament would change.

But the change to attacking oneself, attacking the teacher, and attacking Konoha is too drastic, isn't it?

"Heh heh... I also want to ask why this is happening?"

"The moment Lin died, this world became an illusion, devoid of any meaning or value for me."

"Only a world where Rin exists is real, and only a world that has meaning and value to me!" Obito said hysterically, his face contorted with rage.

Kushina and Mikoto were stunned; they didn't quite understand this idea...

"Obito, didn't you notice that Rin's death was suspicious?" Uchiha Gen said calmly.

"At first I didn't notice it, but later I did."

"Rin's death was deliberately orchestrated by that bastard Madara Uchiha so that I would awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Clearly, as time went on, Obito gradually came to his senses.

Obito, after turning to the dark side, is not stupid at all; on the contrary, he is extremely shrewd.

Kushina rubbed her temples, looking like she had a headache, and said, "If that's the case, then why did you act under his name in the past?"

"Since you can use his name, you two must be quite close, right?"

"Heh heh... If placing a curse mark on my heart and becoming his puppet executor for his resurrection plan counts as being close, then I am indeed closer." Obito sneered.

Kushina's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "So you're saying your actions were against your will?"
