Chapter 20 Identity No. 1
Chapter 20 Identity No. 1
Finally, I've collected 1000 million taels and confirmed the submission.
Uchiha Gen immediately chose to use it, and instantly his facial features underwent subtle changes, his hair turning a bright red.
Uchiha Gen looked at his reflection in the mirror... Wasn't this just a healthy version of long-haired Nagato? Driven by a wicked sense of humor, he put on a straight face and muttered to himself, "How many flights of stairs does it take to carry a bag of rice?"
However, because his hair was relatively long, and the Uchiha clan had a heavy yin attribute chakra, his face was relatively soft. If he put on makeup, he could be mistaken for a girl... Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen felt a chill run down his spine.
Looking back at the system interface startled Uchiha Gen. The skill panel now included the Diamond Sealing Barrier and the Four Symbols Sealing Barrier. Combined with his Sharingan, the Tailed Beasts were overjoyed.
Uchiha Gen left the kitten at the pet store and left some money behind. He didn't name the kitten because naming it would mean he would keep it forever.
Uchiha Gen is not ready to keep a pet. Although the kitten is very intelligent, it has no fighting ability. If it follows him, it may become a victim of the aftermath of the battle.
And Tsunade should have already seen this kitten.
Thinking about what he was going to do next, Gen Uchiha could only sigh at his ill-fated relationship with Konoha.
Upon arriving at the gates of Konoha, Kotetsu stopped Uchiha Gen, recognizing his striking red hair. "Who are you? What are you doing in Konoha?"
Uchiha Gen seemed startled and paused for a moment. "Hello, my name is Reikawa, Uzumaki Reikawa. I've come to Konoha seeking refuge."
"Uzumaki?!" Izumo Kamui, having just finished checking someone and letting them in, walked over. He glanced at Gen Uchiha's hair, which indeed matched the description of this clan in his memories.
Izumo tugged at Kotetsu, and after a brief discussion, they nodded and Kotetsu went inside to report.
Seeing that Uchiha Gen seemed a little nervous, Izumo Kamui said, "Wait a moment."
Gen Uchiha nodded and found a large rock to sit on.
"Are you a ninja?" Izumo asked.
"That should be true."
"should?"
"Because I'm not really sure either, I only know one or two ninjutsu."
"Where are you from? What are your parents' names?"
"If I had to say, I should be from the Land of Grass. My mother's name is Uzumaki Harumi. I don't know my father's name. My mother passed away when I was about six years old."
"Feel sorry."
Uchiha Gen shook his head. "It's nothing, it's all in the past." He said it so readily that he almost believed it himself. As for verifying his identity, they definitely wouldn't be able to find out; at most, they could only trace it back to Xiangling.
However, Gen Uchiha was not worried. The Uzumaki clan was an ally of Konoha in the early days. After the Uzumaki clan was destroyed, the clan members scattered and were targeted and persecuted, making it difficult to find their whereabouts. Even if no information was found, it didn't matter.
As long as he can prove his identity, that's enough. The power of the Uzumaki clan to seal the tailed beasts is a windfall for Konoha.
Gen Uchiha didn't know the exact location of Root, and constantly hiding would make him easy to be discovered and alert the enemy. His only goal was the Sharingan in Danzo's possession. He didn't want to cause unnecessary bloodshed in Konoha.
After all, Danzo valued his own life more than Konoha's. He believed that as long as he didn't die, Konoha would become better under his leadership after he became Hokage. However, according to his thinking, Konoha would still exist at that time.
"May I verify your identity?" Izumo asked in a questioning tone, but his attitude was very firm.
Uchiha Gen nodded and asked, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Hold out your hand for a second." After saying that, Izumo Shingetsu used a kunai to make a small cut on Gen Uchiha's hand, and blood slowly flowed out. It seems it wasn't a transformation jutsu.
When Kotetsu returned, he nodded to Izumo Kamizuki. Izumo Kamizuki indicated that he understood and gestured to Gen Uchiha to follow Kotetsu.
"I need to take care of some things recently. The Hokage hasn't returned yet, so you can stay here for now. If you need to buy anything, go over there..." Kotetsu pointed in a direction and led Uchiha Gen to a small house on the outskirts of Konoha.
Gen Uchiha was not dissatisfied with this. The Third Hokage had just died and Tsunade had not yet returned. It would be strange to let a stranger like him directly enter the core area at this time.
However, his information should have already been reported to Danzo. He was a bit too old for Danzo, who liked to kidnap children, and he wondered if Danzo would cause trouble. Of course, Gen Uchiha would welcome this behavior.
Itachi Uchiha returned to the projector and selectively explained the situation to the Akatsuki, summarizing it simply as follows: there was a mysterious, powerful individual immune to genjutsu, whose allegiance was unclear. The people present whispered amongst themselves.
Deidara was very unhappy. He hated Uchiha the most, let alone another one. It would be best if it wasn't an Uchiha, otherwise he would let him taste the power of his C4 Garuda!
Kakuzu chuckled sneer, "Didn't you wipe them all out when you exterminated them back then?"
Itachi ignored Kakuzu's mockery and simply waited silently for Pain's instructions.
Nagato pondered that if he and Itachi were from the same clan, given their past grievances, then he definitely couldn't accept them.
But if not—a ninja whose stance is unclear must be quite strong to be acknowledged by Itachi. Although Akatsuki is now complete, it would be best if they could be recruited.
After thinking for a while, he finally spoke up, "Go and investigate."
"Itachi, you and Kisame go do other tasks first. In a while, it will be time for us to collect the tailed beasts together. Get yourself ready."
Upon hearing this, Hidan muttered to himself, "Besides making money, what else can he do?"
Kakuzu: "I think it's pretty good."
Payne ignored the complaints; as long as they completed the mission, that was enough. "Does anyone else have a report?"
Everyone was silent for a moment...
"Disband!"
These days, Uchiha Gen's side isn't exactly idle, but because it's close to the gate, he's often bothered by Shinzuki Izumo and Kotetsu.
I don't know how we started talking. They originally came to find out about my family's background, but as we chatted, we ended up talking about some classic stories from my past life. Of course, the characters were called by different names, but once we started talking, things got really interesting.
Good heavens, perhaps they were too bored guarding the gate, so the two of them took turns listening to the story, and then one of them told it to the other.
"So why didn't you learn Shadow Clone Technique?" Uchiha Gen's face darkened after seeing them off. Although they usually brought some food, wasn't this just rubbing salt into the wound? He couldn't taste anything, and these things looked delicious... What a headache!
These "pleasant" and peaceful days were broken by a knock on the door from an ANBU member. Before opening the door, Uchiha Gen thought it was those two guys again.
"Is that Reikawa Uzumaki?"
"it's me."
"The Hokage is back. He wants you to go to the Hokage's office. Come with me."
"Okay!" Uchiha Gen took a deep breath, finally feeling relieved.
