Chapter 52 Black Face
With this in mind, Itachi decided that after returning the Four-Tails to Kisame, he would go to find Gen Uchiha to get some answers.
"Itachi-san, what's wrong?" Kisame asked, waiting ahead, one hand supporting the Jinchuriki and the other carrying Samehada. Having been in Itachi's team for so long, Kisame could tell that Itachi seemed to be thinking about something.
"It's nothing. It was probably someone from the Genjutsu organization who came to check the scene. That person had Shikotsu-pulse bloodstains and was very strong," Itachi said. This wasn't a secret; given Genjutsu's style of doing things, a simple investigation would have revealed it.
"Genju?" Kisame pondered. He had heard of this organization in recent days. Kisame's only assessment of the organization was that, apart from their decent strength, their other actions were baffling. They would spend ages choosing a mission, and aside from the target, they would just knock out everyone else instead of killing them, which led to all their information being leaked.
Now, especially since they've actually boasted about accepting the mission of protecting Jinchūriki, even if they're incredibly strong, it's not their place to protect the Jinchūriki of other villages, is it?
However, given the Akatsuki's actions, they might one day confront Genjiro. Given their naive approach to problem-solving, they shouldn't pose much of a threat to the organization.
Over here, the naive Hyuga Kito, having just once again wiped out a group of people trying to gouge out his eyes, saw the bloodstains on his hands, his deadpan expression turning sour. Near his heart, his clothes were torn, five percent of his skin was damaged, and his clothes were stained with blood.
That lazy guy, Ainz Ooal Gown, has disappeared somewhere!
These people came prepared. They've been in the limelight lately, and the allure of the Byakugan has tempted them to take the risk. Although they don't have headbands, judging by their strength, they should be ninjas trained by a major ninja village. Hyuga Kito has fought against real wandering ninjas these past few days, and to be honest, the difference in strength between them and ninjas from ninja villages is too great.
On the way back, Hyuga Kito suddenly saw a familiar chakra and sighed, "...Don't hide anymore."
Having anticipated this, Kakashi jumped down from the tree upon hearing this. "Why did you know those techniques just now?" he asked, then looked at Hyuga Kito's wound near his heart and asked, "Does it need treatment?"
"No need. If you can, please leave." Hyuga Kito was not in good condition at the moment, and he could probably guess what Kakashi was thinking. It must be an order from Konoha. After all, the pressure Konoha would have to bear if the Byakugan were to be leaked was unimaginable.
Kakashi smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that won't work." Through his investigation over the past few days, Kakashi had a fairly good impression of the so-called Hollow Origin Organization, except that they were a bit too "kind" in some ways. Apart from their appearance, almost all the information about them had been exposed.
Just then, Ainz Ooal Gown suddenly appeared behind Kakashi, his hand sprouting bone blades which he placed against Kakashi's neck. "I think Wood Golem has already said that you should leave!"
Kakashi, who had been taken hostage, suddenly exploded into a wooden stake and disappeared. It's okay to fight one, but two are simply too much for him.
Hyuga Kito didn't use his Byakugan to go looking for her; he just sat down on the ground, exhausted, to rest for a while.
"How are you feeling?" Bone asked.
Upon hearing this, Hyuga Kito activated his Byakugan, looked around, and slowly said, "This isn't good. I've used up too much chakra. I'll find a place later and come back."
Just after Hyuga Kijin disbanded himself, Uchiha Gen learned of the situation and, using the same method he had used to get Uzumaki Reikawa back, sent Hyuga Kijin back.
Also receiving the memories was Uzumaki Reikawa, who was traveling with Aburame Shimi at the time. Thinking of Tsunade's plan, he used a clone under the pretext of scouting the situation ahead, and then disbanded it to transmit the message to his main body.
For Tsunade's idea to succeed, her main body needs to personally take to the field. If she were to use Reikawa Uzumaki, a clone, to deal with Akatsuki, his current chakra reserves would be insufficient.
Incidentally, Sasuke was also in the group at this time. He had heard that Reikawa Uzumaki was going out on a mission and asked Tsunade for permission with the three tomoe in his eyes. Naruto also wanted to go out, but he was strictly forbidden from doing so because of the Nine-Tails inside him. Jiraiya even forcibly suppressed Naruto under the pretext of training.
Although Sasuke's personality might cause some trouble, as long as Pain doesn't personally show up, Reikawa Uzumaki is confident in ensuring Sasuke's safety.
Aburame asked, "Is there any news?" He had just sent the insects to investigate the situation. He was actually a little dissatisfied with the fact that Uzumaki Reikawa had created a clone, as it seemed to be questioning his abilities.
Reikawa Uzumaki shook his head. In fact, it was probably thanks to the Four-Tails that the Akatsuki were able to seal it away and temporarily neglect the One-Tails, giving the main body time to arrive.
Aburame Shiki didn't say much about this, and just kept on her way. She felt a little dissatisfied with Uzumaki Reikawa, but she quickly put it aside. After all, Uzumaki Reikawa joined Konoha later and might not know her very well.
As for Sasuke, he had been warned before arriving and given the order not to run around and to follow instructions. Putting aside the task Tsunade gave to Reikawa Uzumaki, the official commander of the three-person team was Shiki Aburame.
Meanwhile, on the main side, Uchiha Gen was overwhelmed and dizzy by the series of news. Speaking of which, Tsunade is really bold. But if things are done this way, even if it is discovered in the end, it will give Naruto and the others time to grow. It's just that the newly established Genjutsu is going to be used as a pawn.
As for White Zetsu following behind Uchiha Gen, he had already lured him away by using a clone to cover his skin. The clone is probably still taking a leisurely stroll with White Zetsu.
After receiving this news from Orochimaru, Obito Uchiha fell into deep thought. Three tomoe cannot activate Susanoo. Could it be that Gen Uchiha really broke free from control and revived?
Obito began to think about his various experiences with Gen Uchiha. If Gen Uchiha was indeed a person resurrected by Edo Tensei, then who would he be?
Thinking back to his previous experience of being asked for autographs, Obito suddenly realized something rather embarrassing: he had previously referred to himself as a senior in front of Uchiha Gen, but after searching through all the recent clan members, he couldn't find anyone who looked similar.
If Uchiha Gen was someone from a very early era, wouldn't it be possible that he was from an earlier generation than Uchiha Gen? Or even further back, could Uchiha Gen have known Uchiha Madara but was just pretending to be stupid in front of him and teasing him? Thinking of this, Obito's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Black Zetsu, upon receiving the news, was lost in thought. However, since he had managed to deceive Madara Uchiha, deceiving another Edo Tensei body shouldn't be too difficult. It was just a pity that Orochimaru didn't have a technique to directly control Gen Uchiha's Edo Tensei body. Although it's still uncertain whether Gen Uchiha is currently an Edo Tensei body, besides Rinne Rebirth, are there any other ninjutsu that can revive an Edo Tensei body that has been dead for a long time?
