Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

As the morning approached nine o'clock, the warm and bright sunlight shone on Konoha. The plaza below the Hokage Building was filled with Konoha ninjas and some Konoha villagers who had some free time.

On the rooftop of the Hokage Building, all the high-ranking officials and core members of Konoha gathered.

On the stage, in the square, high-ranking officials, ninjas, and villagers were all discussing among themselves...

The only difference was the content of their discussions. The ninjas and villagers mainly discussed why they were holding a village-wide meeting, while the higher-ups happily shared yesterday's achievements.

Before parting ways yesterday, Uchiha Gen gave a strict order not to reveal anything to his subordinates.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Uchiha Gen, wearing a Hokage hat and Hokage robe, stood with his hands behind his back, riding a white cloud and drifting low towards the rooftop of the Hokage Building.

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen appear, the scene quickly quieted down, and all eyes fell on him.

Just as Uchiha Gen arrived at the rooftop, an invisible barrier covering Konoha Village rose up, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving!

Uchiha Gen stepped onto the rooftop, turned around to look down, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "I have gathered you all here today because I have something important to announce."

"Since the birth of ninjas, the ninja world has been plagued by constant conflict."

"The Warring States period goes without saying, it's too far back in time."

"Since the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, the ninja world has still experienced three more Shinobi World Wars, each more devastating than the last, and conflicts within the ninja world have never ceased in peacetime."

"The new generation has not yet experienced the brutality of war, so they don't feel it as deeply, but most people in Konoha know the cruelty of war."

"Because of the war, countless tragedies befell ninjas: the death of comrades, the death of lovers, the death of family members, and so on."

"Are humanoid survivors considered war machines, mission tools? What is the truth?"

"I think even if it's not entirely true, it's not far off."

"I believe that ninjas should not be war machines or mission tools, but rather beings comparable to nobles."

"On what grounds?"

"Because we wield extraordinary power!"

"We who wield immense power have repeated the tragedy of a thousand years, while the nobles, who are just ordinary people, can sit back and watch the ninja world change."

"The nobles are hardly affected. No matter how chaotic the ninja world is or how cruel the war is, they remain high and mighty, enjoying a luxurious and decadent life."

Is this reasonable?

"I think this is unreasonable!"

"What gives them the right?"

"Just because of your so-called noble bloodline?"

"Tch, so-called noble blood means you can't even gather chakra?"

"Only those bloodlines capable of gathering chakra are truly noble bloodlines!"

"Their blood is mortal, while our blood is extraordinary; our lineage is extraordinary!"

At this point, Uchiha Gen clasped his hands together, and with a series of thuds, four shadow clones appeared around him...

The five Uchiha Gen formed hand seals at a normal speed, and then spewed out flames, floods, lightning, hurricanes, and earth and rocks from their mouths respectively.

Five elemental ninjutsu ripped through the sky, traversing half of Konoha Village before colliding with each other above a forest.

boom!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and a small white mushroom cloud bloomed in the air, a truly magnificent sight!

Ignoring the astonished looks from the Konoha ninjas and villagers, Uchiha Gen continued speaking.

"You all possess some of these five powers in your bloodline, to varying degrees."

"Do you know why ordinary people can't possess chakra, but we can?"

"That's because we are descendants of gods and immortals!"

"To get to the bottom of it, according to the information I found..."

"The power of chakra originated from the goddess Uzuki. She is the progenitor of chakra, and all the chakra in the ninja world today comes from her."

"You may have never heard of the goddess Uzuki, but you may have heard of one of her two sons."

"The goddess Uzuki separated a portion of her power and gave birth to two sons. The younger son was named Otsutsuki Hamura."

"The eldest son is named Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also known as the Sage of Six Paths."

Those ninjas who knew the legend of the Sage of Six Paths were astonished upon hearing this, while those who didn't were completely bewildered...

The saying goes, "If you don't understand, ask." If you don't know, quickly ask someone around you who does.

Among those present, the most knowledgeable were undoubtedly the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, because Uchiha Gen emphasized the education of clan history.

There was some noise below, but that didn't stop Uchiha Gen from continuing to brainwash people by talking about the origins of ninjas...

"The Sage of Six Paths distributed his chakra to ordinary people, thus establishing the Ninjutsu sect."

"The so-called Ninja Cult is the predecessor of the ninja, it's just a different name."

"Ordinary people possessed chakra, which was passed down through reproduction."

"Therefore, all ninjas in the ninja world are, in a sense, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, and those with bloodline limits are the best among these descendants."

"The people of the Ninja Sect multiplied their descendants, and the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother also married and had children, thus multiplying their descendants."

According to records, the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother inherited the Byakugan of Uzuki, while the Sage of Six Paths inherited the Rinnegan of Uzuki.

"That means the Hyuga clan are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother, and their bloodline can be traced back to the goddess Uzuki!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Gen's words, the Hyuga clan members were overjoyed, especially Hyuga Hiashi, whose face beamed with delight.

I only knew that the Hyuga clan had a noble bloodline, but I never imagined it was this noble...

"The Sage of Six Paths has two direct descendants, and the power of the Sage's bloodline has been divided in two."

"The eldest son, Indra, inherited the Sage's Sage Eyes. However, due to incomplete bloodline power, his Rinnegan was transformed into the Sharingan."

"The youngest son, Ashura, inherited the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Body. He doesn't have special eyes, but he possesses powerful vitality and a vast amount of chakra."

"Indra was the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, while Ashura was the ancestor of the Senju and Uzumaki clans."

"You probably think I'm just trying to glorify myself and the Uchiha clan, right?"

At this point, Uchiha Gen leaped into the air, his black chakra surging forth, and his bones, muscles, meridians, skin, armor, and wings rapidly solidified.

The Susanoo, towering like a mountain, hovered above the Hokage Building. Its massive size blocked out the sunlight, and with a gentle flap of its wings, a gust of wind swept in all directions, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes...

When the gale subsided, those who had never witnessed the power of Susanoo stared blankly at the sky, while even those who had witnessed it couldn't help but marvel.

Even the Konoha people who didn't attend the meeting were stunned.

"This is my evidence!"

"The Sharingan, starting from its awakening, theoretically has five opportunities to evolve, each of which will activate the power of the bloodline."

"One-tomoe Sharingan, two-tomoe Sharingan, three-tomoe Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"This is the power I gained by combining the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with my own inherent strength!"

"If it weren't for the eyes of a sage, how could one possess such godlike power?"

"Although your bloodline is not as noble as mine, you are still descendants of gods and immortals, and you are noble in your own right."

"We may be noble, but ordinary people are not lowly. The ancestors of ordinary people were simply not lucky enough."

"As the saying goes, God loves the world, and immortals pity the world!"

"We, who are of noble birth, should not bully ordinary people, but rather protect and help them!"

"But nobles who are ordinary people are very lowly."

"They actually dared to deceive us through various means, to force us to work for them, and to place themselves above us..."

"I can't agree to that, what about you?"
