Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 6 The First High-Ranking Homie

When they returned to the area under the jurisdiction of the Uchiha clan, the clansmen were cleaning up the battlefield. The area was full of craters and traces of ninjutsu bombardment.

Looking around, the forests near Kikyo Mountain are almost completely broken, as if a piece of green cake has been bitten off. Further away, the forest is full of holes, as if the cake has been dug out, and in many places, the smoke of battle is still burning.

Behind Mount Kikyo, in Kikyo Castle, smoke was rising, and many houses had either completely collapsed or collapsed in different ways; almost none remained intact.

Although the battle at Kikyo Mountain lasted only a little over half a day, it was extremely intense.

Konoha suffered significant losses; repairing Kikyo Castle alone would have been a huge expense.

Along the way, not a single Uchiha clan ninja was happy about the victory; all of them wore stern faces, their eyes filled with sorrow.

Influenced by his environment and his clan, Genya Uchiha put on a serious face; in this situation, it was inappropriate to be happy.

"Captain, I'm back."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was sitting on the grass with one arm in a sling, resting with his head down. Hearing this, he raised his head.

Seeing Uchiha Gen, the genius he had high hopes for, appear unharmed, Uchiha Yatsumo was very happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He kept a straight face and spoke in a flat tone.

"Okay, go get to work."

"Yes."

Uchiha Gen didn't mind, bowed slightly, and left.

Uchiha clan ninjas are generally quite proud, and some are even very sharp-tongued; to put it bluntly, they are rather self-centered.

It's not so obvious for people of the same race, but it's more obvious for people of different races.

This is also why Uchiha clan ninjas are not very popular; people who are self-centered are unpopular regardless of their background.

In times of crisis, emotions are relatively outwardly expressed; in times of peace, they become very reserved and stubborn.

However, the ordinary people of the Uchiha clan are quite normal; they are not affected by the Sharingan.

Ninjas are a profession that values ​​efficiency, and the battlefield was cleaned up in no time.

Because the Uchiha clan had a job in the police force, they were the first to leave the battlefield and return to Konoha, but this did not mean they would rest.

The Uchiha clan, along with another group of ninjas, guided all the villagers from the shelter back to the village. By the time they finished, it was completely dark.

The Uchiha clan ninjas dragged their tired bodies back to their clan's territory to rest, while a group of them had the worst off, having to continue their duties until their shift changed the next morning.

Uchiha Gen is not currently in the police force; he belongs to the frontline combat unit. In addition, being a genius, he naturally does not need to be on duty and can go home to rest.

After returning home, Uchiha Gen removed his ninja tools and armor, took off his bodysuit and boots, and changed into loose home clothes before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

He'd been busy from last night until tonight, only managing to eat some soldier's rations and drink some water. It was also a time when he was growing, so Uchiha Gen was already hungry and exhausted.

I was tired and hungry, so I didn't want to cook anything too fancy. I just cooked a pot of rice, stir-fried a plate of shredded potatoes with meat, and grabbed a dish of kimchi.

Uchiha Gen is someone who never shortchanges himself. Whenever he has free time, he never skimps on meals; if he can eat well, he will never eat anything inferior.

With the inheritance left by his parents and the additional dividends after awakening his Sharingan, Uchiha Gen, while not extremely wealthy, was certainly not poor either.

In modern terms, they should be considered the middle class.

In the brightly lit dining room, Uchiha Gen was diligently eating when he suddenly heard crying. He looked out through the open screen window.

Judging from the direction of the sound, it's coming from within the tribe's territory...

Has the bad news reached you yet?

It's not just the Uchiha; the entire Hidden Leaf Village will probably be shrouded in weeping tonight.

Although there are no specific figures, judging from the ferocity of the battlefield, Konoha likely suffered heavy losses.

Ugh……

Uchiha Gen sighed softly and continued to eat.

Man is made of iron, food is made of steel. If you miss a meal, you'll be starving. You can't change the situation, so thinking about it is pointless and there's no need to waste your energy.

After finishing his meal, Uchiha Gen didn't bother washing the dishes. He simply put the bowls, chopsticks, and plates into the sink to soak before washing up and going to bed.

Nothing was said that night. Being out of office, he shouldn't concern himself with such matters; some things were none of Uchiha Gen's business.

……

After a good night's rest, Uchiha Gen was fully recovered the next morning. He made himself a simple breakfast, washed the dishes from the previous night, and then went out.

Because they got up very early, there were few people on the streets of the clan's territory, but they did run into police ninjas who had finished their duties and looked exhausted.

"Xuan, what are you doing so early?"

"Go to the forest to cultivate."

"Xuanzhen is indeed diligent; he truly deserves to be called a genius of our Uchiha clan."

"You flatter me. Go back and rest. You've been working so hard."

"Oh, well then, goodbye."

After dealing with the ninjas he encountered, Uchiha Gen left his clan's territory and went alone to the depths of the forest on the edge of Konoha, a place belonging to the Uchiha clan.

Looking at the lush, rolling green sea of ​​chakra, Uchiha Gen quickly formed hand seals and mobilized his chakra.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Orange-red flames shot out from Uchiha Gen's mouth, condensing into a sphere under the control of chakra, and the sphere rolled forward.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!

Wind Release Breakthrough!

With the wind fanning the flames, Uchiha Gen's actions quickly set a forest ablaze.

That wasn't all. Uchiha Gen continued to use Fire Release and Wind Release to intensify the fire, thereby reducing smoke production and avoiding attracting attention.

Only when his chakra was almost depleted did Uchiha Gen stop moving. He looked at the endless sea of ​​fire before him, which scorched the air and twisted it, and nodded in satisfaction.

The only drawback is that this sea of ​​fire is generated by chakra nature transformation flames, which can be countered by abilities similar to the Rinnegan sealing technique.

However, it doesn't matter. This drawback will soon disappear. All we need to do is let the newly created Homies devour natural flames, since they feed on flames anyway.

The Sealing Technique Absorption Seal can absorb flames that have undergone chakra nature transformation, but it cannot absorb natural fire. Mixing natural fire with natural fire is similar to a Fire Release technique released using Sage Chakra.

"Be born, my baby!"

Uchiha Gen let out a slightly childish shout, his face full of excitement.

At the same time, he inserted his right hand into his body and took out a small part of his soul and most of his accumulated lifespan. A white ball of light emitting a faint white glow appeared. He swung his arm, and the white ball of light shot out and fell into the sea of ​​fire.

The burning sea of ​​fire froze for a moment, then a huge, eerie face appeared in the fire, and a strange and rampant laugh rang out. Then the sea of ​​fire quickly shrank and turned into a stream of light that flew out.

All that remained behind the radiant light was a large patch of charred blackness, with no smoke or trace of flame.

Uchiha Gen extended his left arm, and the flowing light stopped on his palm, revealing his form.

It was a crimson fire dragon with antlers like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow. It was about a foot long and looked very mini and cute.

"Owner."

The crimson fire dragon looked up at Uchiha Gen, its eyes sparkling. Its miniature dragon body circled in the palm of his hand, and its voice was not childish, but mature and deep.

"Hmm, would you like a name?"

Uchiha nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"think."

From now on, you will be called Zhurong.

BIGMOM's fire homie is called Prometheus, the god of fire in Western mythology, so his first high-level homie can't be anything less than impressive.

"Zhu... Rong, Zhu Rong, that's my name."

"Zhurong, from now on, do not speak or appear without my permission. My strength is not yet sufficient; it is not the time for you to officially appear in the world."

"I understand, Master."

Looking at the obedient Zhu Rong, Uchiha Xuan was very satisfied, but he was also a little troubled. How should he carry this thing?

Should I put it in my ninja tool pouch or hide it inside loose clothing?

It's wartime now, and oversized clothing would hinder combat, but putting it in a ninja tool pouch would be too cramped...

This is a high-level Homie created by his soul; it will never betray him. It is even closer to him than his future children, so he cannot be wronged.

"Zhurong, do you have any way to stay by my side without being detected?"

"My soul and my master's soul are one. I can attach my body to a certain part of my master's body and let my soul rest in that part, so that I won't be discovered."

Oh wow, it has this feature too?

No wonder it wasn't shown in One Piece. Why would Big Mom need to hide it?

"Then you can attach yourself to my left forearm."

"Yes, Master."

Zhu Rong's dragon body moved and then disappeared.

Uchiha Gen felt a slight warmth on his left forearm. He lifted his sleeve and saw lifelike fire dragon tattoos appearing on his arm.

"Brilliant!"

Uchiha Gen sighed in admiration, then left happily.
