LRAB Chapter 13 My name is Uchiha Gen.
Chapter 13 My name is Uchiha Gen.
Sasuke suddenly became curious about Gen Uchiha. "Your name is fake too? What's your real name?"
"Just call me Yuan. Okay, I've answered all your questions. Is there anything you need to take with you? It's time to go."
"Where to?"
Uchiha Gen tilted his head slightly to the side, "—Remember when I said you've answered all the questions?" Seeing Sasuke's stunned expression, his originally cold eyes narrowed and he suddenly smiled, "Now you can think about how to escape, because this is your best chance to run away, but I can't guarantee your safety."
Sasuke's expression was grim, because just a moment ago he had sensed a killing intent no less than Orochimaru's, and every cell in his body was sending out warnings. In that instant, Sasuke was certain that the guy in front of him who called himself Gen really wanted to kill him.
As soon as Uchiha Gen jumped out of the window, he saw several small black dots rapidly approaching from the center of his hotel.
Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, and the others. Uchiha Gen clicked his tongue inwardly, realizing he had been too slow to notice.
Suddenly feeling uneasy, Jiraiya briefly thought for a moment and then suddenly remembered something. He raised Uchiha Gen's head sharply and swung his fist down hard towards where Uchiha Gen was!
Uchiha Gen, struck squarely in the face, inflated and exploded into a wooden stake. Using the momentum, Jiraiya stomped through the ground, landing with a furrowed brow. "Substitution Jutsu? When?"
Jiraiya had come only after Naruto's repeated requests. If he let this kid slip away like that, he would lose all face as the Toad Sage in front of Naruto. (If he had any)
At this moment, Uchiha Gen was frantically running for his life, carrying Sasuke under his arm. Damn it, he thought there was only Kakashi and an unstable bomb, and he was planning to show off his skills in front of Sasuke. Who knew Jiraiya would actually show up in person? What's the point of playing anymore! As for Sasuke, he probably couldn't be saved; Jonin are still too weak!
On the other side, Orochimaru, accompanied by Kabuto Yakushi, was searching for Tsunade's whereabouts. He smiled slightly, but his golden vertical pupils gleamed with a cold light. Calculating the time, it should be about right. Looking at his numb hands, he tried to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
Uchiha Gen—what secrets do you hold? And why is there no information about him in the Uchiha records? A pseudonym? Orochimaru has also looked at the records of other clan members, but none of them resemble Uchiha Gen.
It was obvious that Orochimaru told Konoha about Uchiha Gen's location, but the fact that Uchiha Gen was an Edo Tensei was kept secret. In Orochimaru's opinion, it would be great if Uchiha Gen could kill a few Konoha ninjas.
It was precisely because they knew Uchiha Gen's whereabouts that Naruto and his group acted ahead of time, gaining a time advantage.
Meanwhile, Itachi had just learned of Sasuke's capture. His face showed no emotion, but he seemed to quicken his pace. Kisame felt the atmosphere was a bit strange; the speed of their journey seemed to have increased, but it was also as if it were just an illusion.
Sasuke felt nauseous from being jostled around like that on the way. "Put me down! I can run by myself!"
"Yeah, I knew you'd run away."
"...My hands are already tied up, I just want to be more comfortable." Sasuke said something he didn't even believe himself, feeling like his IQ had dropped. Well, he must have caught it from Naruto.
"it is good."
Sasuke felt relieved as soon as he thought of this.
Sasuke landed on both feet? ? ? I really wanted to say, "Are you serious?" but I was afraid Genji Uchiha would change his mind, so I swallowed my words.
Regardless of what he was up to, Sasuke followed Uchiha Gen while simultaneously thinking about how to reunite with Naruto and the others.
But Uchiha Gen started talking to him about random things, like, "What do you plan to do after you get your revenge?"
Sasuke "?"
Before he could reply, Uchiha Gen seemed to be talking to himself, "It's okay if you don't know. Your main goal right now is to become stronger. We can talk about the future later!"
"..."
At this point, Uchiha Gen suddenly turned to stare at Sasuke, scanning him from head to toe before finally fixing his gaze on the rope on Sasuke's back and hands. His brows furrowed. "You're really too weak." He didn't even know what he was angry about.
While it might be a bit unfair to say this to a child, it's true that someone with the Sharingan is far too weak, allowing anyone to spy on them, including themselves.
Sasuke's head was covered in tic-tac-toe marks—was this ever going to end? He stopped in his tracks; this time he was truly angry. After all, because he was taken away too early, he hadn't witnessed Gaara and Naruto's battle. "What do you mean! I am..."
"The top few in the Chunin Exams?" Uchiha Gen also stopped in his tracks. Observing the road ahead, he realized that Kakashi had him cornered. Since he couldn't escape, he decided to give up.
"I…"
"Or do you think that if it weren't for the Sand Ninja causing trouble, you would have gotten first place?"
In other words, I'm asking you, what was Itachi's strength at your age?
Sasuke was repeatedly interrupted and was internally cursing, but he was rendered speechless by Uchiha Gen's last question.
Suddenly, something occurred to me: "And what about you? If you could beat Itachi, why did you take me with you? Isn't it because you're afraid of those eyes?"
"Yes," Uchiha Gen readily admitted. After all, although the Edo Tensei was immortal, it had two obvious weaknesses: it could be sealed and it was not immune to genjutsu. Itachi happened to have both of these weaknesses, the Totsuka Blade, and Shisui's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke sneered and was about to speak in a sarcastic tone.
"Alright, you don't need to stall for time anymore. I'll only give you six months. If you haven't grown to a level that satisfies me after six months, I'll gouge out your eyes." As if he had made up his mind, Uchiha Gen said coldly.
Sasuke's opinion of Gen Uchiha plummeted, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Just another pathetic wretch trying to steal his clan's power."
Ignoring Sasuke's thoughts, Gen Uchiha decided to abandon his plan to take Sasuke's eyes. Firstly, because of Orochimaru, Naruto and the others had come looking for him. If he took Sasuke's eyes now, it could have unpredictable butterfly effects, and he would most likely die here today.
Secondly, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would be the sole heir of the Uchiha clan.
Since he had been reincarnated as a senior of this clan, he decided not to follow Madara Uchiha's example and trick his juniors. Thinking of this, Gen Uchiha couldn't help but laugh. Black Zetsu tricked Madara, Madara tricked Obito, Obito tricked Itachi, Itachi tricked Sasuke. The original great clan had become like this. Come on, this young man has suffered enough.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya caught up from behind, only to find Uchiha Gen and Sasuke standing there with a strange atmosphere. He didn't choose to make a move immediately, since Sasuke was still in Uchiha Gen's hands. He just asked with some confusion, "Who are you? What...what...?"
Looking at Jiraiya, he couldn't remember for a while.
Uchiha Gen mourned for his previous "average" appearance. "...Yoshiya..."
"That's it! That's the name! And Yoshiya?" Jiraiya said, stroking his chin and looking Uchiha Gen up and down. "You are Yoshiya." He used a statement of certainty. At that moment, as expected, Kakashi appeared in front of Uchiha Gen, who had just run away.
Gen Uchiha nodded, which was taken as an admission.
"So what's your real name? Why are you hanging out with Orochimaru? And why did you suddenly betray Orochimaru?" The reason for asking questions instead of attacking directly was that it was unclear whether he had done anything to Sasuke.
Furthermore, based on Naruto's description of his behavior, this person is not a combatant and may be someone who can persuade others to surrender.
With a touch of respect from his past life, Uchiha Gen bowed to Jiraiya. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Gen—a returned avenger." When he raised his head again, the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared in his eyes.
