c163 They Are All Old Six!
After absorbing Minazuki Tang, Gen Uchiha stepped forward and lifted Terumii Yō's eyelids. Their gazes met, and he was just about to activate the Yomi no Mi to absorb the man's soul and remaining lifespan…
A comatose state is always easier for hypnosis than full consciousness this principle is no different from when the Sharingan manipulates weakened targets.
Yet just before absorbing him, Gen suddenly remembered something from the plan discussed in previous chapters and paused. He let the Soul Fruit's power fade and instead pressed both palms against Terumii Yō's chest, activating Shōsen Jutsu the classic Medical Ninjutsu once perfected by Tsunade's lineage.
The vibrant green chakra ignored surface wounds and flowed straight into the heart, repairing the most fatal internal damage.
Moments later, Terumii Yō slowly opened his eyes only to immediately fall under the gaze of Gen Uchiha's newly-strengthened three-tomoe Sharingan, a sign of the emotional trauma he had undergone in earlier chapters.
"Tell me your complete plan."
As one of the core jōnin stationed in the ambush unit and a member of the Kirigakure Terumi clan this man should know the full strategy.
Leaving the captain alive would have been safer normally, but the captain had already self-destructed using Kirigakure's typical "don't leave intel" suicide seals.
Terumii Yō's eyes went dull as the genjutsu sank in.
"Our plan is…"
Gen listened quietly. As the explanation continued, his expression twisted speechlessly.
Tch.
So Kirigakure was acting this aggressively… because of him?!
Uchiha Obito, that idiot, really had a terrifying grudge.
Wasn't he trying to recruit Gen?
This was recruiting?
This was closer to declaring a clan feud!
What kind of brain circuit is this? Even by Obito's twisted logic after losing Rin, this was ridiculous.
Normally, if you want to recruit someone, you offer money, power, beauties, secret jutsu.at least paint a bright future like Orochimaru did when he tempted Sasuke.
Where did Obito learn this "recruit by slaughtering your target's allies" method?
Liangshan bandits would feel ashamed.
But then again… Uchiha Madara recruited Obito by crushing half his body.
Obito recruited Nagato through Yahiko's death.
Nagato recruited Akatsuki through fear and manipulation.
This world has way too many abnormal people for Gen to be surprised.
After venting internally, Gen set aside the annoyance and absorbed Terumii Yō's soul and lifespan.
He then disposed of the five bodies one by one, placing Flying Thunder God markers on the terrain rather than the bodies.remembering that exposing the technique now would contradict the timeline events established earlier.
After finishing everything, Gen activated Hiraishin no Jutsu, returning instantly to the material transfer station's lounge.
He took out a map and carefully marked the corpse locations based on the feeling of his Hiraishin seals.
Once done, he exited the lounge and issued a gathering order. Soon, the ninjas he brought from Konoha and the personnel stationed here gathered in the rain-soaked courtyard.
Rain was nothing shinobi are trained to gather even if kunai were falling from the sky.
"Inuzuka E, step forward."
"Yes, Lord Gen."
Inuzuka E stepped forth, bowing respectfully.
"Take this map. Lead thirty ninjas. Retrieve the bodies."
He handed the map over and turned away.
Inuzuka E didn't understand completely, but as a trained shinobi he obeyed instantly.
"Yes! I will complete the mission."
"No need to turn in any equipment found on the corpses. Whoever retrieves it keeps it."
The ninjas' eyes lit up.
Kunai, short swords, and exploding tags were valuable enough.
But chakra metal weapons, like Asuma's trench knives, were small fortunes.
Scrolls especially ninjutsu scrolls would be priceless, though Kirigakure rarely carried them.
Inuzuka E picked fourteen ninjas from the station, donned his hat, and led the squad out into the rain.
Gen returned to the lounge, dried his clothes with Fire-style heat control, then went to the warehouse for ingredients. He borrowed utensils and called two genin to help carry supplies.
Fifteen minutes later, Gen sat at the highest point of the station.
Roof above to block the rain.
A steaming hotpot bubbling before him.
The distant outline of Daishan Mountain blurred by mist and rain.classic scenery reminiscent of the Land of Fire's border regions described earlier.
Alcohol wasn't stored here frontline rules but senior officers had access to tea and preserved drinks.
Gen took a slab of tofu, channeled Wind-style chakra to his fingertip, sliced it cleanly, and tossed the snowy cubes into the pot.
This tofu wasn't in the supply chain; it had been handmade by a genin on cooking duty.something common in long campaigns.
He picked up a piece, smiled, and muttered:
"Eating tofu in the rain… even a daimyo doesn't live this well."
After savoring it, he added the rest of the ingredients.meat, fish, vegetables, dried herbs sweating happily while eating.
An hour later, full and warmed, Gen returned to the lounge to replenish chakra.
Another hour passed, and the retrieval squad returned with the corpses. The station instantly buzzed with activity.
Gen stepped out. Thirty bodies lay neatly arranged.
"Lord Gen, these are…"
Inuzuka E approached, puzzled.
"These are the Kirigakure infiltrators."
"I understand that, but… thirty? And so many jōnin.why…"
"After checking, ten are jōnin, five are tokubetsu jōnin, the rest chūnin."
Gen smiled.
"Orochimaru-sensei and I hunted them."
"What? But Orochimaru-sama should be on the front line."
"It was a shadow clone at first. Now the real body is there."
"But why didn't you inform us, Lord Gen? We are not afraid of death!"
Gen raised two fingers.
"Two reasons."
"First: they were elite Kirigakure shinobi. Teacher and I could eliminate them without increasing Konoha casualties. You are all elites, but unnecessary risks are unnecessary."
"Second: you are a fresh force. The frontal battlefield needs you. After resting, you will change the situation."
Inuzuka E finally understood.
"Thank you, Lord Gen, for thinking of us!"
They all knew Orochimaru's personality.he was not the type to consider soldiers' comfort.
So hearing this from Gen created genuine gratitude.
The surrounding Konoha ninja, overhearing, looked at Gen with surprise and reverence.
The master and disciple defeated thirty elite Mist shinobi. Even assuming Orochimaru handled the bulk, Gen showed no signs of injury. His strength seemed bottomless.
And considering his age… the awe only grew.
"We are all Konoha shinobi. You have families waiting behind you. This is what I can do."
The words moved them.
"Yes! Our comrades on the front also have families!"
"We don't need rest! The march wasn't long!"
"The earlier we go, the more families stay whole!"
"Inuzuka E is right.let's go!"
Gen sighed inwardly.
Hanging around Namikaze Minato really did leave its mark on these people. Such pure Will of Fire.
When the uproar settled, he said:
"Very well. You depart immediately. Inuzuka E leads."
"But I will stay behind a bit. While uninjured, my chakra is greatly depleted."
"I'll ride a summoned beast to join you once I recover."
The Konoha shinobi nodded firmly and saluted before vanishing into the rain, energized rather than tired.
After they left, Gen returned to the lounge pretending to meditate then secretly used the Flying Thunder God to return to the front.
Don't misunderstand, Gen wasn't resting.
He just wanted to remind Orochimaru not to hit too hard.
If Orochimaru ended this war too quickly, Gen would lose a stable supply of souls.
Orochimaru also needed ample "materials" and disliked working under village restrictions.
Master and disciple indeed had the same taste neither of them were good people.
