Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

"Enter the village!"

After saying this, Uchiha Gen dispersed his Susanoo, and Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama also dispersed their Susanoo and Senju Shinju.

Qiangliang caught Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, while Uchiha Genryu used the Void Crossing to arrive at the entrance of Kumogakure.

The six tailed beasts—no, the seven tailed beasts—also withdrew from their tailed beast forms and returned to human form.

As Uchiha Gen and his group approached, the Fourth Raikage said with a bitter expression, "Hokage, First Hokage, Second Hokage, wasn't Uchiha Madara already dead?"

"Yes, they have long since passed away, but Konoha has a secret technique that can revive them at any time."

"Besides, do you think your Hidden Cloud Village could have withstood this without them?"

The Fourth Raikage shook his head with a bitter expression. Indeed, these three were merely icing on the cake.

The Fifth Hokage, who is hiding his true identity in the most profound way, is the most crucial figure.

"I wonder how the Hokage plans to deal with our Hidden Cloud Village?"

"Don't worry, as long as the Hidden Cloud Village behaves, I won't carry out any large-scale purges."

"If you don't obey, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"We'll discuss the specifics once we get to the village."

After saying that, Uchiha Gen led his men and strode into the Hidden Cloud Village. His powerful and energetic steps made him seem like the true master of the Hidden Cloud Village.

The Fourth Raikage led the Hidden Cloud Village to catch up quickly, but his expression was ugly, his eyes were lifeless, as if all his energy had been drained.

Ignoring the various gazes from the Hidden Cloud Village, Uchiha Gen led his men to the Raikage Building with practiced ease.

I had been to Kumogakure before, and although it was several years ago, I still remembered the terrain of Kumogakure very clearly.

After entering the Raikage Building, Gen Uchiha had the Fourth Raikage lead him to the main conference room.

After entering the main conference room, Raikage's secretary, Mabui, and others served tea and prepared to leave.

"You don't need to go out. Your side just happens to need someone to take meeting minutes."

When Mabui met Uchiha Gen's gaze, she quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes."

The Konoha side sat on one side, while the Kumogakure side sat together; even Temari and Kankuro had seats.

Uchiha Gen took a sip of tea, about to speak, when a thought struck him, and his gaze drifted to a certain spot in the southeast...

"What's wrong?"

As the absolute focus of attention, Uchiha Gen's every move attracted attention, and Senju Hashirama, sitting next to him, asked.

Uchiha shook his head and said, "It's nothing, just taking a look around. The meeting will now officially begin."

In the air southeast of the main conference room of the Raikage Building, a semi-transparent figure floated in mid-air...

This figure had two horns on its head, brown hair, and wore a white robe. It had six black magatama-shaped patterns on its chest and a red swirl-shaped symbol on its back, with magatama arranged in a nine-square grid below. It was none other than the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"This guy seems to have spotted me?"

"How is that possible?"

"If I don't deliberately reveal myself, who in this world besides my brother could possibly find me?"

With this thought in mind, the Sage of Six Paths initiated a test, secretly extending his senses into the large conference room.

Even highly perceptive individuals like Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju, and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) failed to detect it, let alone others.

Seeing Uchiha Gen earnestly stating his demands while appearing completely oblivious, the Sage of Six Paths knew exactly what was going on.

"It seems to be a coincidence..."

"Grandpa, stop fooling around."

Suddenly a voice rang in the ears of the Sage of Six Paths. It was not a voice, but a communication of consciousness or mind.

The sudden sound almost startled the Sage of Six Paths, but he managed to regain his composure, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.

Suppressing his surprise, the Sage of Six Paths asked curiously, "You can actually sense me?"

In the main conference room, Uchiha Gen was multitasking, continuing to make demands while communicating with the Sage of Six Paths.

"This shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

The Sage of Six Paths: "..."

This kid's got some nerve. Let me see what you're made of...

With this thought in mind, the Sage of Six Paths extended his senses into the large conference room. Uchiha Gen sensed the Sage of Six Paths' power approaching and voluntarily opened his body and mind.

"Hiss... Such terrifying power, almost on par with his and his brother's."

"This guy's chakra isn't anything special, but his natural energy is as vast as the ocean, and his spiritual power is like the sun!"

With a thought, the Sage of Six Paths praised, "Incredible!"

"You have broken away from the chakra system I created and embarked on a new path..."

Uchiha Gen humbly replied, "I still stand on your shoulders, old man. The chakra system and the Sage Chakra system have been of great help to me."

"By the way, didn't Hamura-senpai mention me to you?"

The Sage of Six Paths asked in surprise, "You know Hamura?"

"My soul accidentally entered the Pure Land, and while traveling there, I was fortunate enough to meet Hamura-senpai."

"So that's how it is. I haven't returned to the Pure Land all these years."

I see. Hamura-senpai is such a homebody, he can't even be bothered to send a letter...

No, for the two brothers, a few years is just the time it takes to take a nap. It's not a big deal, so there's no need to send a message.

"What brings you here, sir?"

"Don't worry, I have no intention of interfering with the workings of the ninja world, even if your ideals don't quite align with mine."

"I sensed a massive amount of chakra here, and out of curiosity, I came to take a look."

The Sage of Six Paths' philosophy clearly leaned towards that of his second son, Ashura, but he didn't mind if Indra's descendants tried to adopt his own ideas.

If peace can be achieved in the ninja world, that would undoubtedly be a great thing. If not, then let future generations explore new paths to peace.

That's how passive and indifferent I am. It's impossible for me to take charge personally; it's never going to happen in this lifetime!

The Sage of Six Paths' excessive trust in the ideas of his juniors was sometimes not a good thing, causing endless conflict in the ninja world for over a thousand years...

Hearing the Sage of Six Paths' words, Uchiha Gen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I know about the Sage of Six Paths' ways of doing things, knowing is one thing, but having a real understanding of the Sage of Six Paths is another.

If the Sage of Six Paths gets involved, then things will be troublesome.

Although they possess the strength to rival the Sage of Six Paths, defeating him would be extremely difficult at present, leading to a polarization of the world order.

If the Sage of Six Paths summons Hamura Otsutsuki again, his side will be at a great disadvantage, and the Hyuga and other clans might even turn against him...

"Thank you very much, sir."

"Would the old man like to meet with Nine Lamas and the others?"

"They're gone. They've all grown up and should have their own lives now."

"My only request is that you treat the Nine Lamas and the others well, especially the Nine Lamas."

Wow, so the Nine-Tails really does have the Sage of Six Paths's favor. It's true what they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Of course, this is a joke.

It's more likely that the Sage of Six Paths intended for Kurama to become the leader among the nine tailed beasts, playing a guiding role.

If chakra is split equally, their strengths are roughly equal, so who would truly submit to whom?

"What request do you have?"

"I learned some things from Hamura-senpai. The old man is the ancestor of our Uchiha lineage."

"I will definitely do as the old man says."

Sensing Uchiha Gen's attitude, the Sage of Six Paths was very pleased.

The little guy in front of him didn't disrespect him because of his strength, nor was he arrogant or domineering. On the contrary, he was very respectful, which made him feel very comfortable.

If the eldest son, Indra, had possessed this level of power in the past, he would probably be on his way to heaven!

"Okay, you can handle it as you see fit."

"You can visit the Pure Land when you have time. I will go back there soon."

"Respect is not as good as obedience."

"I'm gone."

"Take care, sir."
