Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Is Chapter 12 handsome?

Uchiha Gen nodded. "Yes, I know."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's aura immediately darkened. "Where is he?!"

Uchiha Gen sized Sasuke up and down, looking at him with an expression of utter disbelief. "What, if I tell you, you'll be able to kill him?"

"I..." Sasuke was momentarily speechless, then suddenly a question occurred to him, "Then why did you want to kill him too?"

Anticipating Sasuke's question, Uchiha Gen naturally replied, "Oh, he killed my relative." Did Uchiha Gen really want to kill Itachi? Of course not. Since transmigrating, he hadn't even killed a chicken. Where would a young man get such murderous intent?

The reason I say this is simply because I think it's easier to get along if we have a common goal, and Sasuke can't lose this motivation.

"???" Sasuke frowned. Well, that reason was barely acceptable, but it still felt a bit strange. "Who is your relative?" Moreover, a Jonin asking a Genin for help, although Sasuke was a bit arrogant, his brain was not damaged.

"Why bother with all that? You wouldn't know them anyway." Uchiha Gen thought to himself. Although he was a reincarnation of the Uchiha clan, who knows what relatives he had? They're all dead anyway, and he didn't know any of them. Maybe he should just make something up when he answers in the future?

Suddenly the system prompted: "Double Tomoe Sharingan detected (obtainable)? Would you like to hand it over?"

Extremely impatient, Uchiha Gen chose: No.

This was the nth time Uchiha Gen had given him a notification since he dragged Sasuke back, and he seriously suspected that the system wanted him to make the wrong choice by accident.

"I don't know if the system can hear me," Uchiha Gen thought to himself. "I will get the Sharingan within the time limit. I don't know what you want the Sharingan for. If you push me too far, I'll go on strike! Kill me if you want, get lost!"

What Uchiha Gen didn't see was that after he said those words, the system fell silent, as if it was thinking about something.

After finishing his meal, Sasuke sat down and watched Uchiha Gen perform his face-changing act. He seriously suspected that this Sound Ninja had something wrong with his head and secretly decided that he must find a chance to escape.

Although Sasuke learned this information from Yoshiya, he wasn't crazy. Following him wouldn't do him any good. As for Yoshiya being stronger than Orochimaru? Forget it.

After finishing his instant noodles, Uchiha Gen saw Sasuke in front of him, who didn't seem to react much, and scoffed, thinking, "He really did get the information and then ran away."

But if I let you get away like this, wouldn't I, Yuan, have any pride?

He picked up the disposable chopsticks on the table, flicked them, and the chopsticks shot towards Sasuke like arrows, piercing his forehead without leaving a trace of blood. Sasuke in front of him exploded into smoke.

He glanced at the chopsticks that had fallen to the ground. Shadow Clone Technique, huh... If he knew how to create shadow clones, Sasuke would probably have slipped away while he was in the bathroom.

Seeing the wide-open door, Uchiha Gen chased after him. About two minutes later, he saw an unfinished rice ball on the ground burst into a puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared, it was Sasuke.

However, he didn't expect this plan to buy him much time. He opened the window and was about to jump in the opposite direction from where Uchiha Gen had just left.

He had just opened the window when he saw Uchiha Gen hanging upside down in the window, staring at him with a dead fish-like expression. "Seriously? You look down on me that much? You think you can fool me with such a little trick?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Sasuke remained unfazed and said, "Since we have the same goal, what is your purpose in kidnapping me? Or do you have a way to make me stronger?"

The purpose of the kidnapping, of course, is to take your Sharingan if we really can't find any other Sharingan.

Of course, Gen Uchiha wouldn't say that out loud. He swung his arm and jumped back into the house from the window. "I just want to observe the Sharingan up close and get some information. After all, besides him, you're the only one left in the Uchiha clan. In exchange, I'll teach you some combat skills. How about it?"

Sasuke was silent for a moment. "You said before that you could defeat Orochimaru?"

"Yes, he can defeat Orochimaru at this moment, or rather, he completely crushes him. His strength has declined significantly since the battle with the Hokage."

After asking the question and thinking for a moment, Sasuke asked again, "How does he compare to that man?"

Hmm... This is a rather profound question. Uchiha Gen hesitated, unsure whether he should say, "Um... do you want to hear the truth? I feel like if I tell you, you might feel despair or something."

Was Sasuke filled with despair? Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and he was startled: "You mean even Orochimaru in his prime couldn't beat him?!"

Instead of directly answering Sasuke's question—which was somewhat misleading given the elemental advantage—Genji Uchiha pointed to Sasuke's neck and asked, "Do you think the Cursed Seal is strong?"

Sasuke didn't reply, but subconsciously touched the cursed seal with his hand.

Seeing his expression, Uchiha Gen understood his thoughts. "This thing has far more drawbacks than advantages, at least in my opinion. The seemingly explosive increase in power it gives you is nothing to Itachi."

Sasuke frowned upon hearing this, his expression dazed and somewhat confused. Even Orochimaru couldn't defeat Itachi, so what did he have to kill him with?

Seeing Sasuke's near-madness, Uchiha Gen clenched his right fist, his middle finger knuckle slightly protruding, and stealthily approached, delivering a hard knock to Sasuke's head! "Back to your senses?"

This action pulled Sasuke out of his mental rut. "Ouch! Are you crazy?!" Sasuke cursed, instinctively covering the spot where he had been hit with his hand. Poor Sasuke, lacking the vocabulary to even utter a "woc" (a vulgar expression of frustration).

Looking up, he saw Uchiha Gen staring blankly at the curse mark on his neck, and he immediately felt a chill.

"Don't move!" Uchiha Gen's expression suddenly turned serious. He frowned and reached out to touch the curse mark on Sasuke's neck. Sasuke almost lost his temper and went berserk.

This aura...

Uchiha Gen closed his eyes, sensing the flow of chakra within his body. He found it! A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he used his hand to lift his scalp and forcefully pulled a small snake, no thicker than a finger, from the skin at the back of his head.

Upon contact with the outside world and sensing the threat, the small snake writhed wildly and restlessly. The moment it was pulled out, it tried to bite Uchiha Gen's hand, but Uchiha Gen slammed it against the wall. Whoosh—! A sound of air being cut, one after the other, and the kunai pinned the snake to the wall.

From Sasuke's perspective, it looked as if Gen Uchiha had pulled a snake out of his head, causing a wave of nausea to rise within him. "What was that?"

Gen Uchiha rubbed the back of his head, feeling the skin festering from the wound caused by pulling out the small snake. He couldn't help but sigh; it seemed this human skin was unusable. The snakes had always been able to find him before; it wasn't the scent that was the problem.

In response to Sasuke's question, Gen Uchiha replied, "It should be Orochimaru's tracking method. If he hadn't paid such a high price in that battle, you might be able to see him now."

"..." After saying that, Uchiha Genji suddenly realized something, gritted his teeth—no, he'd been tricked—and turned around to pack his things. If he really did that, it seemed he couldn't stay in this place anymore. Maybe... he should just gouge out Sasuke's eyes? Hiding like this was too troublesome, and if he wasn't kept an eye on him, he'd escape. (Malicious...)

The thought vanished in an instant. Uchiha Gen walked into a cubicle and began peeling off the human skin from his face, removing the bandages binding his hands one by one.

Looking at myself in the mirror, my face was covered in cracks, and it looked exactly the same as before I transmigrated. I have to say, it was really a bit disgusting.

When Uchiha Gen reappeared, he was using a skin provided by the system. Apart from the clothes, everything else was exactly the same as when he was alive. His face was exactly the same, except that his hair was a little longer.

"?" Sasuke looked at Yoshiya, whose appearance was completely different from before. "Transformation jutsu? Or is this your true form?"

Gen Uchiha casually tied his overly long black hair into a hairstyle similar to that of the Hyuga clan with a hair tie. "Hmm, this should be considered my original look," he said, raising an eyebrow at Sasuke. "Looks good, right?"

Sasuke couldn't help but twitch his eye. He made up his mind: the first thing he would do after gaining power was to kill this guy.
