Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 52 Reward Yourself

Nine hundred meters above the ground, a fierce wind rushed towards him, his black hair and robes fluttering in the wind. Uchiha Gen squinted slightly as he looked down.

As far as the eye can see, there is a green ocean, with undulating waves that resemble green mountains. The sea is like an endless forest, a vibrant scene that is truly refreshing.

This was the first time he had allowed Zhu Rong to display her full form and push her flying ability to its limit.

Back in Konoha, he could only sometimes ride a dragon at low altitude in the forest, and he had to do it secretly.

There was no chance to experience riding a dragon on the battlefield, so this was the most exhilarating experience I've ever had.

Although I didn't actually fly it, the experience was still fantastic.

The only pity is that Zhu Rong can't fly higher; she can only fly at low altitudes, with a maximum altitude of only one thousand meters above the ground. Zhu Rong is ultimately not a true dragon.

Perhaps in the future, transforming the thundercloud into a Homie will allow it to fly even higher...

The crimson dragon shadow soared through the void, choosing paths where clouds could conceal its form. Its speed was not very fast, but not slow either, around 270 kilometers per hour, similar to that of a regular helicopter.

Every time he passed through the clouds, Uchiha Gen would reach out and touch the white clouds in the void, laughing like a child, without any mature adult demeanor.

However, on the other hand, if one could truly fly into the sky and touch the clouds, there probably wouldn't be much difference between adults and children.

On his first real flight through the void, Uchiha Gen found everything interesting and never got tired of the scenery along the way.

In his previous life, Uchiha Gen loved to look at the scenery on his journey. No matter what mode of transportation he was on, he liked to stare at the scenery outside the window. He didn't like to sleep or play on his phone.

Three hours later, a bustling village appeared, and Uchiha Gen's keen eyesight even allowed him to vaguely see three statues on the Hokage Rock.

Uchiha Gen, riding Zhu Rong, changed direction, lowered the altitude, and headed into the lush forest outside Konoha Village.

Upon reaching the forest, Zhu Rong shrunk her body and crawled into Uchiha Xuan's left arm to rest, as she was exhausted from the journey.

Uchiha Gen, carrying two living people, began searching for a temporary place to settle them in the forest. The two would later be transferred to a special experimental base.

Half an hour later, Uchiha Gen finally found a satisfactory cave deep in the forest. He then beat up the ferocious beast in the cave and drove it out. Afterward, he pried open the eyelids of two living people and hypnotized them.

He then left the cave, drew his Kusanagi sword, imbued it with wind-style chakra, and began to carve trees. Soon, two more exquisite wooden figures appeared, each imbued with his separately stored soul lifespan.

Looking at the two wooden figures who seemed to have just woken up and were somewhat dazed, Uchiha Gen pondered for a moment and then said, "From now on, you two will be called Mu Yi and Mu Er."

"After getting dressed, go and clean up the cave."

"Yes, sir."

The two wooden figures caught the cloaks thrown to them, quickly put them on, and then dashed into the cave.

Afterwards, Uchiha Gen disguised himself and set off to a nearby town to buy supplies.

The supplies were transported in batches to a secluded spot outside the town. Because the supplies were quite heavy, Uchiha Gen couldn't carry them all by himself and had to summon Zhu Rong for help.

Back in the cave, Uchiha Gen used the remaining wood to make two crosses, then installed the devices that restricted people's movement in the town, placed them in the cave, and finally tied the two people up.

After a flurry of activity, Uchiha Gen wiped the sweat from his brow. These tasks weren't particularly difficult, just quite troublesome.

But no matter how troublesome it is, we have to do it. How can we complain about trouble when we want to gain power?

Although he has the Soul-Soul Fruit as a cheat, he doesn't have a system that creates things out of nothing, and he doesn't have the right to complain about trouble.

After finishing his work, Uchiha Gen fetched some water from the puddle that had seeped out of the cave, picked up some firewood outside the cave, lit the firewood with his fire-style technique, and boiled water to make two buckets of noodles.

Uchiha Gen sat outside the cave, watching the forest gradually darken, and quickly finished two buckets of instant noodles.

We weren't full, so it was just a quick bite.

Afterwards, Uchiha Gen began to set up traps around the cave using explosive tags, mainly in the direction of the cave entrance.

Although it was already dark, the fire of Zhurong provided illumination, so it did not affect our work at all.

As more and more wild animals approach the cave entrance and suffer, this area will gradually become a forbidden zone for them. Wild animals aren't stupid.

He used up all the explosive tags in his ninja tool pouch in one go, leaving none behind. Then, Uchiha Gen called over Mu Yi and Mu Er and gave them a good talking-to. Finally, he rode on the rested Zhu Rong and took off into the night sky.

It took another three hours to get back, and we arrived at our resting place around midnight.

Looking at the colorful signs and the shops that were open all night, Uchiha Gen hesitated for a moment before going inside.

After a long day, you deserve a reward!

"Hey handsome, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

A middle-aged woman, dressed in a flamboyant manner and with a beaming smile, swayed her hips as she walked over.

"This is indeed my first time visiting your Pink Flower restaurant. I hope it won't disappoint me."

Having already used the Transformation Technique to recreate his past life's appearance and dressed as a samurai, Uchiha Gen said nonchalantly.

There's no way around it; without changing my appearance, as a minor, I can't even drink alcohol, let alone experience the brothels.

After a long day, can't you relax and enjoy yourself?

"Look at what you're saying, sir. Our 'Red Flower' is the number one brothel in town. We definitely won't let you down."

"Hey, this is our shop's service list. Every single service is of the highest quality."

The middle-aged woman gently patted Uchiha Gen's chest, covered her mouth and chuckled, a rich fragrance wafting over. Then, as if by magic, she produced a list.

Uchiha Gen took the order and glanced at it, then pretended to think for a moment before saying, "This is my first time here, so I'll check out your service first..."

"First, bring out a table of your finest food and wine, then arrange for a singer, and finally, have two young, pretty girls serve you while you take a bath."

"So, the old man only goes for vegetarian food?"

Are you going to waste your virginity in this place if you don't want to play with nuns?

"If you can't even make vegetarian dishes well, how can you talk about anything else?"

Have you ever heard the saying, "True talent is often found in the ordinary"?

"Go quickly. If you satisfy me, the tip will be generous, and you'll come often in the future."

*Slap!* Uchiha Gen raised his hand and slapped it. The slap was quite elastic and made his hand vibrate.

"Hate……"

The middle-aged woman gave Uchiha Gen a reproachful look, then took the order and went to make arrangements.

As for Uchiha Gen, he was naturally received by other personnel.

Uchiha Gen listened to the rather pleasant tune and finished the good wine and food, finally feeling full and satisfied.

Afterwards, we arrived at the private hot spring room that had been prepared in advance. We took a bath in the clothes of two girls who were reasonably good-looking and had decent figures. The bath relieved most of our fatigue.

After paying, Uchiha Gen left the "Pink Flower" brothel and found a high-end hotel to rest.

The next morning, Uchiha Gen woke up feeling completely refreshed and full of energy. After having breakfast, he strolled around the town.

With the war over, the town is gradually recovering from its previous state of disrepair and is not deserted, though it certainly cannot compare to Konoha in terms of prosperity.

Konoha may be called a village, but its size has long surpassed that of a town, and it is roughly equivalent to the prosperity of a county-level city.

After a morning and half an afternoon of eating, drinking, and having fun, Uchiha Gen finally returned to the Konoha front-line camp.

He had barely returned to the Konoha camp, barely settled in, when Orochimaru sent someone to summon him. He wondered what it was about...
