Chapter 2 About Food
Only then did Kabuto come to his senses, feeling the kunai leave his neck. He subconsciously touched it and felt a slight stinging pain as warm blood flowed down.
He touched his neck and looked at Uchiha Gen standing next to him. Genjutsu?
He subconsciously licked the blood off his hand, and his once-dormant heart began to pound faster and faster. Dou's expression was somewhat strange, the white light reflected from his glasses obscuring his eyes, and he opened his mouth as if to laugh.
Orochimaru glanced at him and said, "Kazunari, control your emotions. Since he can act on his own, give him an identity."
Coming to his senses, Dou realized he had indeed been a bit too complacent lately. He immediately composed himself, bowed slightly to Orochimaru, and said respectfully, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."
"By the way, what do you think about making him the Jonin leading the team for this exam?" Orochimaru grinned mischievously, imagining Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression when he saw this Uchiha. Although it wasn't as surprising as the First and Second Hokage, it would still be good to give them a scare before the show started.
Kabuto lowered his head slightly, the light reflecting off his glasses obscuring his eyes. "I will obey Lord Orochimaru's orders." Seeing that Orochimaru had nothing more to say, Kabuto gestured for Uchiha Gen to follow. However, after what had just happened, Kabuto subconsciously maintained a "safe distance" from him.
Orochimaru witnessed the entire battle. In his eyes, Kabuto merely bound a rock next to Uchiha Gen, shattering it into pieces. Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen instantly appeared, holding a kunai to Kabuto's neck. Another Uchiha skilled in genjutsu, huh? What a waste of those Sharingan eyes; if only…
The speed at which Uchiha Gen slung the kunai around Kabuto's neck wasn't fast enough for Orochimaru. If Orochimaru wanted to, he wouldn't have needed to save Kabuto at such a critical moment.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes: Kabuto has been getting more and more audacious lately, this is just a small warning to him.
On the other side, Uchiha Gen looked at the identity information Kabuto had given him, touched the human skin that Orochimaru had disguised for him on his face, but still couldn't feel anything. Anyway, it was an Edo Tensei body and he was already dead, so he couldn't be bothered by anything anymore. Of course, he had to admire his own ability to adapt, perhaps because of the loss of his senses.
At this moment, Uchiha Gen was dressed with short black spiky hair and black eyes. His face had no special features and he looked like a young-looking passerby.
After looking at the headband, I finally decided to wear it on my left arm. As we all know, a headband is just an accessory, whether it's a headband or not.
With the threat of the impure body being controlled at any time now resolved, Gen Uchiha began to think about how to gain other benefits from Orochimaru before slipping away. After all, Orochimaru was a famous scientist in the ninja world, and it would be even better if he could obtain experimental data on the impure world resurrection from him, although it was obviously impossible.
Uchiha Gen's original name was Ye Gen. How he got here is unknown. His most recent memory before transmigrating was helping a child find his parents. But given the current situation, emmm, I hope that child can meet a good person. As for his personality: a drama queen and a mild case of paranoia.
Name: Uchiha Gen (Ye Yuan)
Sex: Male
Age: 20
Race: Human
Bloodline: Uchiha
Mental state: ?
Skills: Fireball, Phoenix Fire, Fire Annihilation, Hand-held Sword Manipulation, Illusion (?), Instantaneous Movement Technique, Three-Body Technique.
If the battle just now could be called a battle, Uchiha Gen didn't know why. If you really had to ask, it was probably like instinct. The system interface listed all his information, and after knowing all of this, Uchiha Gen could use it naturally just by thinking about it, without any awkwardness. It was like gliding on a fixed trajectory, and any deviation was subconsciously corrected.
The only thing that puzzled him was the Impure World Reincarnation. Shouldn't the reincarnation be a soul? Why was he reborn as an Uchiha? Was this some kind of soul-to-soul transmigration? What happened to his original soul?
Sensing someone approaching, she put those questions aside for the moment, looked at the three Sound Ninja—two men and one woman—and nodded slightly as a greeting. At the same time, a thought struck her: Are these the three people? It seems the current timeline is the Chunin Exams.
The three looked at Uchiha Gen and were somewhat disappointed by his ordinary face: "You're the one Orochimaru sent to bring us here?" Zaku crossed his arms, and although he didn't say it outright, it was clear at a glance that he was very dissatisfied with Uchiha Gen's arrival, and his words contained a hint of probing.
The other two people shared a similar idea and did not stop Saxophone from doing so.
However, Gen Uchiha chose to ignore it and didn't intend to say anything more. As long as he wasn't provoked, he didn't have any intention of humiliating him. Only Orochimaru often bullied children.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there's not much to say about someone who's already dead and someone who's about to die; it's tragic enough already. Let's all cheer up. At most, if he's later resurrected through Edo Tensei, he might say, "Oh, what a coincidence, you died too."
Seeing that Uchiha Gen was completely ignoring him, Zaku didn't know what to do. He didn't want to disobey Orochimaru's orders.
Seeing this, the other two also temporarily abandoned their desire to see Uchiha Gen's strength. Originally, it was Orochimaru who was supposed to lead them, but because of this person who suddenly appeared and replaced Orochimaru, they were not happy.
Ignoring their ulterior motives—they were just unlucky kids—Uchiha Gen was quite lenient with them, simply introducing himself: "Yoshiya, Jonin, skilled in genjutsu, likes…"
I was going to say I like to eat, but there's no need, and given my current condition, even a delicious meal wouldn't taste right. "I like to wander around."
The three replied absentmindedly and perfunctorily.
"Saxophone"
"Toss Anvil"
"The Piano Hammer"
A silence fell between them. As the oldest member of the group, Toshen sensed the awkward atmosphere and spoke up, "We have no problem with you, it's just..."
Uchiha Gen interrupted, nodding and saying, "I know."
"..." Toshen was very annoyed that half of his sentence was stuck in his throat, but then he suddenly remembered something and just sighed silently in his heart.
The reason why Uchiha Gen interrupted Tosu Kinu so rudely was mainly because he was still thinking about things, such as—how to get rid of that thing in his head, the play system.
...After a few unpleasant days together, they finally set off for Konoha Village. They remained silent the whole way until they arrived at their destination. Only then did Uchiha Gen notice that the three people behind him looked disheveled, but they were trying their best to hide their disheveled state so that he wouldn't notice.
Gen Uchiha then remembered that he was an Edo Tensei and didn't need rest or food, but the three people behind him were still alive and needed them. However, he didn't express any apology for this.
After finishing all the errands, Uchiha Gen was taken to the rest area by the people of Konoha. He watched the three of them slumped on the tatami mats, resting and eating. He figured it wouldn't do for him to just stand there, so he decided to go out for a stroll. After all, this was the Hokage he had watched grow up, and it was impossible for him not to be curious.
After Uchiha Gen left, Zaku started complaining, "What did that guy mean?!"
Toshin took a deep breath, trying to hold back. After all, he was a teammate, even if this guy wasn't the brightest. "What I mean is, 'Behave yourself,' Sakka? Are you questioning Lord Orochimaru's decision?!"
"No!" Zakden panicked upon hearing Orochimaru's name, but seemed to understand at first, and didn't say anything more. ...Toshin put down his chopsticks, feeling like he was worrying about something like a father's worries.
Qin.Chui chose to remain indifferent to these matters, considering himself the weakest member of the group and simply following the main force.
……
As a ninja from another village, Uchiha Gen felt two gazes fall upon him as soon as he stepped outside.
Ignoring the ANBU who followed him, since he didn't intend to do anything bad anyway, he slowly walked towards the center. The ANBU following him were a little nervous, wondering whether to stop Uchiha Gen from entering. However, so far, Uchiha Gen had not done anything out of line. As the leader of the five countries, there was no need for them to treat a mere Jonin as a major threat.
On the street, Uchiha Gen, with a smile, politely stopped a passerby to ask for directions to Ichiraku Ramen. Although he didn't need to eat anything, he wanted to check it out, whether for cover-up or out of curiosity.
As for the 10 taels, he already has an idea. Uchiha Gen isn't planning to go against the system for now. Knowing the plot, it's quite easy to get that much. Whether he can make a fortune depends on the upcoming Chunin Exams. Those gambling dens set up by wealthy people outside are Uchiha Gen's money-making machines.
"Hello, Ichiraku Ramen to go..."
"Okay!"
"Oh, and also, takeout of barbecue..."
"Good eye!"
"Give me a skewer of meatballs."
……
When they returned from their shopping trip, Uchiha Gen was carrying large and small bags, and the ANBU guards who were watching over him breathed a sigh of relief.
Uchiha Gen looked at the ramen, dumplings, skewers, and other items in his hand, and suddenly felt a little teary-eyed. He had tried every single one of them, but none of them tasted good. Oh well, he decided to give them to those three unlucky kids.
Pushing open the door, he said warmly, "Put down your rice balls, I brought you something delicious!" Uchiha Gen, his previous coldness gone, was replaced by enthusiasm.
Saxophone and Qin. Hammer looked at each other, their minds full of questions, completely baffled as to what Uchiha Gen was up to.
They had assumed that the fact that they hadn't rested at all was a show of force from Uchiha Gen, and that they had also witnessed Uchiha Gen's strength from another perspective. Not to mention that they hadn't even stopped to catch their breath after finishing the journey, which was already proof of his strength.
Toshin thought for a moment, looked at the food, casually picked up a meatball, and started eating. "It tastes good."
Uchiha Gen's heart was bleeding, but he smiled casually and said, "Of course."
Seeing this, Saxophone and Hammer also came to the table, knelt down, and slowly ate.
Tosukina gestured with his one eye, but Uchiha Gen pretended not to see it. There was nothing special about it; he just couldn't eat it all and wanted to buy more, so he asked them to help him.
However, this action left Tosukina completely bewildered, and he began to doubt himself, wondering if he was overthinking things. At the same time, he also wondered if this Jonin was schizophrenic.
The three of them felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal, mainly because Yoshiya's behavior was too strange. He acted like a loving father, not eating himself, but constantly asking them how the various foods tasted. If it weren't for Orochimaru, they would have almost suspected that the food was poisoned. Yoshiya's previous aloofness seemed to have been an illusion.
