Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 54 To Fight or Not to Fight

Uchiha Gen frowned slightly. "It seems that my existence as an Edo Tensei has been exposed." But it doesn't seem to be a big problem. Sealing techniques can restrain him, but as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, there's nothing that can seal him.

Aside from concealing that he was an Edo Tensei body, he shouldn't have done anything wrong in Akatsuki. It all depends on what Obito and Black Zetsu say. Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen looked at his cracked arm: Hmm... If all else fails, I'll just use Edo Tensei to resurrect them one by one and then have a 'friendly' exchange.

Meanwhile, watching the 'Uchiha Gen' dissipate before him, Obito, his emotions grim, peered through the holes in his mask at the White Zetsu who had failed to keep a proper watch.

The White Zetsu, who was being watched, looked terrified, but in the end, he was killed by a kunai.

Ignoring the White Zetsu he had killed, Obito frowned. In fact, he was considering whether to confront Uchiha Gen. However, after learning about Uchiha Gen's background, he felt it was unnecessary, or rather, he was unwilling to pay a huge price to fight someone who was already dead.

The situation is now clear: Uchiha Gen is very likely a ninja from the old era who has now been resurrected. Although he agreed to the Eye of the Moon Plan, his specific stance is still unclear. He helped the Akatsuki capture the Five-Tails and promised to capture or kill a powerful member who is suspected to be from the Uzumaki clan.

What really gave Obito a headache was the sudden appearance of Genjutsu, the mysterious Uzumaki clan, and the Uchiha Genjutsu, all of whom wore white masks. He couldn't believe there was such a coincidence. Genjutsu claimed he could protect Jinchuriki, while the Akatsuki's goal was to capture Tailed Beasts, as if they were deliberately trying to oppose them.

Moreover, except when carrying out bounty missions, White Zetsu could not track anyone in that organization at all; they would just lose track of them without even realizing it.

As Obito pondered this, he realized that the Genji organization must have someone with exceptional skills in reconnaissance or genjutsu. He suspected that this person was Uchiha Genji, and that he had known about the existence of White Zetsu for a long time.

Especially since White Zetsu, who was sent to follow Uchiha Gen, was completely unaware that the person he was following had turned into a clone, this further confirmed his guess.

However, since it is for protection, it will inevitably conflict with the Eye of the Moon Plan. If Uchiha Gen helped capture the Five-Tails just to gain Akatsuki's trust, then why did he wear a mask that would expose his identity?

If Gen Uchiha knew what Obito was thinking, he would probably say: "Don't ask, I just didn't want to buy so many different kinds, so I just bought a bunch in bulk for convenience."

……

"Karin, lend a hand over here!"

"Okay, coming!" Karin finished bandaging a patient's wound, wiped the sweat from her brow, and hurried over.

The medical ninja was able to breathe a sigh of relief after Karin came to help take over. Watching Karin gradually become more proficient, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I have to say, this child is really a genius. She has a high talent for chakra control, and because she has a lot of chakra in her body, she is even more stamina than ordinary medical ninjas, and can complete some high-intensity treatment work.

Sakura, who was also undergoing practical training nearby, was also surprised. Although Karin was not as good as her yet, Karin's progress was really fast, so fast that Sakura was a little jealous. But seeing Karin becoming more and more cheerful, Sakura was genuinely happy for Karin after her jealousy.

The only thing that puzzled Sakura was why Tsunade wouldn't accept Karin as her student, given Karin's exceptional talent.

As for Tsunade, she had indeed considered Karin's talent, but given the current situation, she needed to consult with Uzumaki Reikawa. Moreover, the Uzumaki clan was more skilled in sealing techniques, and asking Karin to abandon sealing techniques and focus on healing ninjutsu during such a special time would undoubtedly be putting the cart before the horse.

Karin's thoughts were simple: she wanted to learn medical ninjutsu so she could help more quickly, and—Karin looked at the clean skin on her arm, which represented a new beginning for her.

As for her own healing abilities, Reikawa Uzumaki has strictly warned herself that she must not allow others to treat the wounded by biting her unless absolutely necessary.

When Karin first heard this, she was a little confused. When she asked Reikawa Uzumaki why, Reikawa just frowned and said, "How could so many adults bring themselves to do that to a little girl? Besides, although your recovery ability is strong, everything comes at a price. This should have caused some damage to your own body, but you were able to cover it up thanks to the strong physique of the Uzumaki clan."

Thinking back to how Uzumaki Reikawa analyzed things seriously with a warning look on her face, Karin wanted to say that it should be fine if it wasn't so frequent, but then she suddenly smiled happily. This must be what it feels like to have family caring about you.

……

When the clone of 'Uchiha Gen' was dispelled, Uzumaki Reikawa also received the news that his Edo Tensei body had been discovered, but what does this have to do with his clone? The gathering is about to begin, and after waiting for a long time without any results, Uzumaki Reikawa created a clone and disbanded it to urge his main body to hurry up.

As the time drew near and Reikawa Uzumaki waited anxiously, Gen Uchiha quietly infiltrated Sunagakure, found a secluded spot, and after confirming that no one was around, notified his clone to make the handover.

However, upon seeing the real body for the first time, Uzumaki Reikawa complained, "So slow. If the clones could use trial cards, I wouldn't even bother calling you."

Hearing this, Uchiha Gen's lips twitched slightly. "Easy for you to say, standing there like that. Who handled all that mess?" he thought. "Come to think of it, was I really that annoying?" "...If you weren't my clone, you'd already be beaten up, believe it or not?"

"..."

Of course, Reikawa Uzumaki believed it; didn't he know himself well enough? But he decided against arguing with himself. Thinking of this, Reikawa Uzumaki, feeling a bit foolish, silently defused the situation.

Seeing that it was almost time, Uchiha Gen, now in his new skin, decided to head straight to the dining area.

However, upon arrival, it was discovered that the so-called dinner was merely a pretext to discuss arrangements for the coming days and how to take preventative measures.

The food was indeed plentiful, but it didn't have any of the more unique delicacies I had imagined. After all, Sunagakure was much poorer than Konoha, and apart from some special foods, if you really wanted to eat something good, you had to go to the Land of Fire.

Sasuke listened attentively to their analysis, enriching his own experience. However... looking at Uchiha Gen, who was also listening attentively, he kept stuffing small amounts of food into his mouth.

...Why does this way of eating look so familiar?
