Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 18 Making Money

Naruto looked at the disaster scene before him and broke out in a cold sweat. What kind of monsters were these two people in front of him? Especially when he saw Itachi Uchiha's eyes, after experiencing Gen Uchiha's fate, Naruto felt completely uneasy.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of running in the corridor.

"What's wrong with Naruto?!"

"Huh?! Sasuke, don't come any closer!" Naruto quickly said.

"Itachi?!"

Sasuke ran over and saw this scene, and his mind went blank for a moment.

Anger and murderous intent filled his mind, his chest heaving violently. Unlike before, he wasn't blinded by rage and recklessly charged forward to get a beating.

Kakashi arrived first, worried that Sasuke would rush over, and took out a kunai to block Sasuke's way. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sasuke did not act impulsively.

Itachi looked at Kakashi, then at Jiraiya. One... two. If he wasn't mistaken, was there one more?

Itachi looked at Sasuke indifferently and said, "You're still so weak, no different from back then." He didn't specify who he was referring to, but everyone present except Naruto knew what he meant.

"...I will kill you with my own hands!" Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately recalled the way his parents Itachi killed him, and extreme anger gradually began to consume his reason.

Jiraiya shielded Naruto behind him, having just exchanged ninjutsu blows with Kisame. Looking at Itachi Uchiha, his heart was filled with complex emotions. His clan had been wiped out; the few remaining Uchiha were gone. And now, in such a short time, he had managed to mess with them all. Had he stirred up trouble within the Uchiha clan?

Itachi, seeing Sasuke so enraged yet not rushing over, seemed to have grown a lot, or perhaps he still didn't hate him enough? Well then…

"You don't seem to understand what I mean..." Itachi said, and suddenly, without anyone noticing, he stepped over Kakashi, looked down at Sasuke, and kicked Sasuke in the stomach, sending him flying.

"You're so weak that I don't even have the desire to kill you." The tone was as if stating a fact.

Just as Itachi was about to mention Sasuke, Kakashi finally reacted, "Sasuke!"

He threw several kunai at Itachi, forcing Itachi to retreat, and then followed up with Raikiri.

Success?! Kakashi watched as the Lightning Blade struck Itachi Uchiha, but ultimately passed right through him, causing Itachi to explode into a flock of crows. Genjutsu?!

However, in reality, what Naruto and Jiraiya saw was that Itachi had already walked towards Sasuke, while Kakashi stood frozen in place for some reason. Suddenly, he used Lightning Blade to attack a wall.

Uchiha Gen, who was hiding behind the wall, sensed something was wrong and had already moved away from his spot. "Damn it..." Watching a show isn't always so entertaining.

After punching a huge hole in the wall, Kakashi finally came to his senses. Looking at his masterpiece, then at Jiraiya and Naruto beside him, and Itachi standing next to Sasuke, he was somewhat bewildered. "What happened?"

Seeing this, Itachi frowned slightly. Had he failed to force out the person hiding in the shadows? Oh well, let's finish this quickly.

Just as Itachi lifted Sasuke, about to use Tsukuyomi on him, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist. It was a person wearing a white mask. His excessively long hair had been tied up in a bun at the back.

"It's useless," Uchiha Gendo said. This kid's way of awakening the Sharingan is different from Itachi's. There must have been pain, but what stimulated Sasuke's Sharingan evolution should not be this kind of emotion.

If it's this kind of emotion, the entire clan would be wiped out and the parents would be killed; at worst, it would be a three-tomoe jade.

Was it him? Itachi broke free and put Sasuke down.

Sasuke coughed a few times after being put down, then slowly stood up. As before, he was powerless to resist. Fortunately, thanks to his previous mental preparation, his mentality did not completely collapse.

"Who are you?" Itachi asked. This person seemed to know what he was going to do, and judging from his appearance, he was not from Akatsuki.

Just then, Jiraiya suddenly slammed his hand on the ground and unleashed a ninjutsu: Toad Mouth Binding Technique!

Seeing the walls of flesh appearing around them, Itachi realized there was no time left and immediately told Kisame, "Retreat!"

This time, Kisame didn't hesitate. He was outnumbered, and he didn't know the strength of the guy who suddenly appeared. It would be terrible if he got trapped on someone else's territory.

Gen Uchiha could stop them, but there was no need, and he didn't want to be trapped here.

Watching Uchiha Gen flee alongside Itachi, Sasuke suddenly exclaimed, "Uchiha Gen?!"

Uchiha Gen didn't stop, but a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth beneath the mask.

……

Naruto rushed over to check on Sasuke, and seeing that he was alright, he patted his chest and said, "You scared me to death, it's good that you're okay."

"…idiot."

"You actually called me an idiot? I was just worried about you!" Naruto said angrily.

"...

Thanks"

"...? What did you say? I didn't hear you, say it again." Naruto realized what was happening, which was rare, and pretended not to hear.

"..." Sasuke's eye twitched. He still couldn't be polite to Naruto.

Realizing he couldn't stop them, Jiraiya sealed the black flames that had pierced Iwaju's intestines. He'd even have to apologize to Iwaju the toad later. After cleaning up, he approached Sasuke. "You just said that person was Uchiha Gen? Uchiha Gen escaped?"

Sasuke nodded. "Actually, I'm not sure if that was the person just now; I just shouted it out subconsciously."

Jiraiya pondered how that person had appeared. He hadn't even seen or sensed him clearly. Did Uchiha Gen have that kind of strength?

But if not, how did he escape right under Kakashi and Sasuke's noses when his chakra was sealed, his hands were bound, and he couldn't form hand seals?

Should we really learn Naruto's binding method? It disappeared after we changed the binding method, but it was fine when it was wrapped up like a dumpling before.

Uchiha Gen, who was hiding in the distance, suddenly felt a strange chill.

Kisame saw that Uchiha Gen had also escaped and was running in a different direction from them. "This guy doesn't seem to be from Konoha either, so have we encountered a lunatic?"

"..." Itachi did not answer, his mood was heavy. Although the genjutsu he had just used on him was not Tsukuyomi, it was completely useless against that person.

The only person who could cause this is someone who also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan. Could it be Madara Uchiha? No, could it be someone who escaped the massacre of their clan?! Whoever it is, thankfully he harbors no ill will towards Sasuke.

I'll have White Zetsu investigate this later...

After leaving this place, he ran to a village that was quite far away. Seeing this, Uchiha Gen used his transformation jutsu to become a passerby, intending to earn 1000 million ryo first.

My current state will likely be revealed after Naruto and the others return.

Uchiha Gen needs a new identity. Anyway, Nagato has always been hiding behind the scenes and has never come out, so this new identity should be fine to use.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen stopped and looked up. They had arrived at their destination... and there was a gambling sign hanging above the house.

On this day, all the gambling dens were swindled by some young guys who appeared out of nowhere. Some suspected him of cheating and tried to teach him a lesson, but without exception, they were all beaten to a pulp.
