Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 29 First Encounter with Dawn

"I don't know why, but seeing you like this makes me want to punch you." Naruto rolled his eyes, feeling very annoyed by Uzumaki Reikawa's smug look.

Reikawa Uzumaki then earnestly summarized Naruto's reaction as, "What you're doing is impotent rage."

Naruto went berserk, yelling "I'm so angry!" and raised his fist to throw a punch, but Jiraiya grabbed him and stopped him.

Jiraiya felt a headache coming on and deeply understood Kakashi's feelings. Naruto was already quite a handful, and now there was Zero River on top of that.

There's no time to gather material, so it seems the sequel to "Make-Out Paradise" will have to be postponed. Jiraiya sighed sadly and vigorously rubbed Naruto's head. "Naruto! Quiet!"

Ouch! "But, but, look at how smug he is." Naruto quieted down, squatted down, and rubbed his head in a wronged manner.

Seeing Jiraiya looking over, Reikawa Uzumaki became a little embarrassed and restrained himself.

"Uzumaki Reikawa, you are indeed very talented. Pride is fine, but you should understand that you can't be arrogant."

Reikawa Uzumaki nodded repeatedly. If he didn't nod, it would mean he was being lectured. You could think of Tang Sanzang for a better understanding of this.

Seeing that Uzumaki Reikawa understood, Jiraiya was relieved. "Now that you've mastered most of the basic ninjutsu, could you demonstrate the Vajra Sealing Technique for me? We might need you to carry out some missions later, so we can use that to make our judgments."

Reikawa Uzumaki looked around and asked, "What's your target?"

"Either is fine, just show your best."

Reikawa Uzumaki nodded and stood still, looking at the flowing waterfall in front of him. He gathered chakra, and instantly golden chains shot out and wrapped around the mountain where the waterfall was located.

Jiraiya counted the chains extending from behind Reikawa Uzumaki with a solemn expression: one, two... eight!

It has to be admitted, this is a true genius! Jiraiya thought of Uzumaki Reikawa's talent when he was learning ninjutsu. If he hadn't lacked basic training and hadn't been taught by anyone when he was young, this kid's strength would probably be no less than his own now!

Seeing that the time was right, Reikawa Uzumaki clenched his fist and sealed it off!

In an instant, a miraculous scene unfolded: the waterfall's flow was cut off in half! And a large section of the water source behind it was also blocked by the Vajra Seal.

Naruto's pupils contracted slightly. "What?! The waterfall broke!" His hands trembled slightly. So strong, so incredibly strong!! This guy—is this the Uzumaki clan?

Jiraiya was also surprised, but he was prepared when Reikawa used eight chains. Faced with Naruto's exclamation, he shook his head and said, "It's not broken. Reikawa has blocked the water flow here and behind. Given time, the waterfall will still flow down from behind." However, after Reikawa maintained the Adamantine Blockade for 10 minutes, the water flowed down from upstream again.

"..."

With this kind of strength, Jiraiya looked at Naruto and thought that perhaps Reikawa and Yamato together could find a way to make Kurama obey.

Suddenly, Reikawa Uzumaki said, "Why don't you leave for a bit?"

"?"

Reikawa Uzumaki swayed slightly, as if he could no longer hold on, and said with a wry smile, "My chakra can't hold up anymore, but the water has already started flowing again. If I withdraw my ninjutsu..."

Jiraiya's expression twitched upon hearing this. Before Reikawa could finish speaking, he grabbed them all and ran off. At the same time, the blockade was lifted, and a massive, man-made flood surged forth from the forest!

When they returned to the village, all three were soaked to the bone. Walking along the road, Reikawa Uzumaki saw their disheveled, lifeless appearance and suddenly burst out laughing—a loud, boisterous laugh… “You guys, hahahaha…!”

Seeing this, Jiraiya and Naruto looked at each other, both soaking wet and looking utterly miserable, and burst out laughing at each other.

……

After sparring with Naruto, Sasuke looked at his reflection in the mirror and his two tomoe suddenly appeared. Although the battle appeared to be a draw, Sasuke knew that he had fallen behind Naruto.

"Do you know why you're not strong enough? Because you don't hate me enough," Itachi Uchiha said mockingly.

"You're really too weak!" Uchiha Gen wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't...

Thinking of this, Sasuke lost control of his emotions, his chest heaving. Looking at himself in the mirror, he unleashed a kunai that struck him squarely between the eyebrows, shattering his reflection! He wanted power! And the truth!!

However, after leaving, Sasuke didn't notice that in his eyes the two tomoe of the Sharingan were slightly closer together, and the third tomoe was about to appear.

On Uchiha Gen's side, after reaching a consensus, Obito suddenly wanted him to take off his mask, but he refused without hesitation. His reason was that Obito hadn't taken it off, so he didn't want to either. He also said something that was hard to understand: "The Ox Warrior never takes off his mask."

Obito: "..." This batch of new recruits is getting harder and harder to manage.

"So, does that mean I can't keep a tailed beast as a pet?"

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha felt a headache coming on and exclaimed, "...No way!"

"Oh..." Uchiha Gen paused for a moment, then asked, "So, where do we go now?"

"Go to the organization to collect your clothes and wait for further instructions."

"Is there any money to be made?"

"..."

"We're not supposed to work for the leader, and instead of getting paid, we're expected to pay him instead?"

"..." Obito Uchiha was speechless, because that was indeed the case. This kind of thing had seemed normal before, but it felt strange to hear it suddenly said by Gen Uchiha.

Arriving at the foot of a cliff, Gen Uchiha sensed something was amiss in the surroundings. He activated his Sharingan and focused his gaze. The genjutsu vanished, revealing a passageway ahead.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Gen suddenly remembered that this place should be the location where Gaara died in his previous life after having his tailed beast extracted.

Obito led the way, saying, "Come in." Gen Uchiha shrugged and followed him inside.

Once inside, aside from one figure that looked like a bonsai, everyone else was a holographic projection. Deidara had a bad feeling. "Boss, who are these two?"

Payne, who had already received advance notice, said, "They are new interns in the organization. If any of you go missing, they will take your place."

They said they were out of contact, but everyone here understood what that meant.

Uchiha Gen looked at all ten fingers of his hand, and saw that there were people standing on them, while he was looking up at them from below. He felt a little unhappy.

"Fine, a true man can bend and stretch, and even if things get tough, Obito's current treatment is the same as mine." However, Sasori suddenly said, "Since they're interns, they shouldn't be protected by the organization's rules, right?"

Payne remained silent, which meant he acquiesced.

Uchiha Gen feigned fear, "Intern seniors, they seem very unfriendly."

Obito was speechless. Could you be any more fake? But on the surface, he transformed into Tobi, grinning and comforting him, "That's how they are, you'll get used to it~"
