Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 21 Danzo

Tsunade was in her office reviewing medical books about how the human body repairs tendons. She rubbed her temples, determined to increase the chances of success.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Come in!"

"You are Uzumaki Reikawa?" Tsunade put down her book and looked at Uchiha Gen, wondering why his face seemed so familiar.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Gen stood respectfully in front of Tsunade.

Tsunade walked over and casually patted him on the shoulder: "I heard you know one or two ninjutsu, what are they?"

The flow of chakra is fine, but this kid seems to have a cold constitution. With a slight movement of his fingertips, a strand of hair falls into his palm.

"The Four Symbols Seal and the Vajra Sealing Technique." Uchiha Gen honestly stated the two abilities he had just acquired.

"Diamond Sealing Barrier?!" Tsunade was somewhat surprised. Even among the Uzumaki clan, very few people could master it. If Reikawa knew this ninjutsu, then he was most likely not sent by another country.

After all, every person who can strongly control a tailed beast and is emotionally stable is an invaluable asset to a country, and using them as spies would be too costly.

It seems we need to send someone to investigate Kusagakure as soon as possible. If they know the Adamantine Sealing Barrier, the target becomes much smaller; it should be the main clan! Maybe we can follow the clues and rescue some clan members.

"Can you show me?"

Nodding, several golden chains slowly emerged from behind Uchiha Gen, but the chains all drooped downwards, indicating that they were harmless.

Sensing the fluctuation of chakra, Tsunade nodded: "That's enough, you can take it back now."

After confirming Uchiha Gen's identity, Tsunade asked, "Besides these two ninjutsu, you don't know any other ninjutsu? Why did you only return to Konoha now?"

Uchiha Gen was silent for a while, his expression carrying a faint sadness as if recalling the past: "Because my mother didn't want me to become a ninja, but as her health deteriorated day by day, she still taught me some basic knowledge so that I could protect myself. However, she died a few days after she finished teaching me; she died of illness."

At this point, Uchiha Gen paused for a moment, then continued, "As for why I'm only returning to Konoha now, my mother looked at me before she passed away and muttered to herself, 'Aren't Konoha and Uzumaki allies?' At the time, I wondered, if they're allies, why didn't Konoha save us, mother and son?"

"It wasn't until recently that I came to terms with it. I guess there were difficulties in all aspects. When I was a child, in order to protect myself, I looked through the books my mother left behind and only found these two ninjutsu." Uchiha Gen said this with a calm expression, as if he had finally relaxed after speaking his mind.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's expression stiffened slightly: "...I'm sorry."

Uchiha Gen shook his head: "This isn't your fault."

"Konoha is being rebuilt, and there might not be any extra rooms available for the time being. Are you okay with living with other people?"

"Can."

After dismissing Gen Uchiha, Tsunade held a strand of red hair in her hand, deep in thought.

Following behind the ANBU who were leading the way, Uchiha Gen wondered who he would be staying with. Well, whoever it was, he hoped it was someone who was easy to fool.

Upon arrival at the destination, look at that anti-gravity silver hair, that captivating… well, you can’t see his face.

Uchiha Gen's lips twitched slightly. Seeing this situation was unexpected, yet also reasonable.

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen, Kakashi greeted him, "Hello, my name is Hatake Kakashi."

"Uzumaki Reikawa. Sorry for bothering you these past few days~" Hmm, perhaps I won't bother you for too long.

Gen Uchiha bowed very politely.

Kakashi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, your room is over there." Although Kakashi was a little annoyed by the trouble, his house was big anyway, so he figured he might as well have another neighbor.

Moreover, this person is from the same clan as my teacher's wife... I arranged for him to stay at my home, which also served the purpose of observation. Judging from his polite manner, he should be relatively easy to manage.

until……

"You're really from the Uzumaki clan? Why is your hair yellow?"

"I, Naruto Uzumaki, am the man who lives by my name and never changes my surname!"

"You're just bragging." Uchiha Gen looked unconvinced.

"You, you...! I told you you weren't from the Uzumaki clan, your hair isn't even yellow."

Kakashi sighed, wondering when he had run into Naruto and the others, and they started arguing as soon as they met.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen, with an arrogant expression, explained why the Uzumaki clan all had red hair and mentioned the Uzumaki clan's astonishing amount of chakra.

Naruto suddenly grasped the key point: "You mean, one of my parents has red hair?"

"If your surname is real, then one of you must be red-haired. And how much chakra could a brat like you possibly have?"

Red-haired, the Fourth Hokage, Sasuke pondered the information he had gathered. At this moment, he already regarded Naruto as an equal to himself.

None of those who become Hokage are weaklings, and as their descendant, even if I'm useless, I won't be too bad. I'm just wondering whether I should tell Naruto this information? Why has Konoha been keeping this from Naruto, the son of a hero?

-

Meanwhile, Orochimaru was somewhat bewildered after receiving this information. A living Uchiha? Even though he had concealed his identity as an Edo Tensei Uchiha, how come even Jiraiya hadn't noticed?

Interesting! Very interesting! Uchiha Gen, shouldn't I have just used a sorcerer to control him back then? I actually let such an interesting person escape.

-

On Uchiha Gen's side, after saying goodbye to Naruto, he was in a good mood because he had secretly learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. What made him even happier was that he had been targeted, although that sounds a bit strange.

"Uzumaki Reikawa, the Hokage has summoned you."

Uchiha Gen smiled brightly, "Okay, coming up."

Seeing Uchiha Gen's performance, a question mark slowly appeared above the Root ninja's head. Was he so happy to be summoned by the Hokage? But unfortunately, he wasn't going to see the Hokage.

Suddenly, the Root ninja sensed something was wrong, only to see that Uzumaki Reikawa's eyes had transformed into Sharingan.

"Take me to see Danzo."

The Root ninja stood there, stunned, then slowly turned to the side and began to lead the way.

After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived in front of Danzo.

"Uzumaki Reikawa, are you willing to serve this old man?" Danzo was somewhat surprised to see that this Root ninja had actually brought Uzumaki Reikawa. He had only intended to send him to test the waters, but he hadn't expected that he could actually bring Uzumaki Reikawa right under Kakashi's nose.

Gen Uchiha said that he owed it all to himself.

After saying that, Danzo said to the Root ninja, "You may step back." However, the ninja collapsed to the ground.

"!" Danzo was startled, and the Uzumaki Reikawa in front of him had somehow turned into a strange man wearing a white mask.

Without hesitation, Danzo immediately formed hand seals: Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!

The wind blade passed, but the white-faced masked monster before him had vanished. Danzo frowned deeply. Who dared to lay a hand on this old man! Tsunade, that woman, didn't have the guts. Suddenly, he recalled the recently emerging organization—could it be Akatsuki?
