Chapter 15: Another "Source"?
Seeing that Uchiha Gen had nowhere to retreat and was about to be pierced into a hedgehog by his own shuriken.
Jiraiya frowned slightly: Is that all? Oh well, I won't die.
The shuriken pierced straight through Uchiha Gen's body, shooting directly towards Jiraiya without any obstruction. A phantom image?!
Jiraiya was startled and before he could react, a small wound was grazed on the back of his hand by the shuriken. He dodged the attack.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen, who had somehow ended up in the tree, trembled as his shuriken danced in his hand, always suddenly turning at unexpected corners.
After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Gen took out four shuriken from his ninja tool bag and threw them out. This time, however, there were no chakra lines on them. The shuriken collided with each other and changed their trajectory, which looked surprisingly beautiful from outside the battlefield.
Seeing that he was surrounded by too many swords, Jiraiya gave up on dodging. While retreating, he formed hand seals, and his white hair suddenly grew back to protect him, hardening into sharp spikes. Ninja Art: Needle Jizo! After blocking the attack, he swept his hair around, knocking down and cutting all the swords in half.
Using the temporary loss of vision caused by his hair, Jiraiya shifted his position and threw three kunai at Uchiha Gen at high speed! Upon closer inspection, he saw that they were all bound with explosive tags.
Uchiha Gen's pupils contracted, and his Sharingan activated at lightning speed. At that moment, the three kunai appeared to slow down in his vision. He quickly drew the last kunai from his ninja tool bag and shot two of them away in advance. There was no time to get the last one! He leaned back and jumped off the tree to avoid it! However, he was still cut on his right cheek by the wood chips splashed up by the explosive tags, and blood flowed down his cheek.
(Skin damage 0.1%)
From then on, apart from the scattered shuriken around them and the slightly heavier breathing of both sides, everything seemed to have returned to the time when they were initially at odds.
"If this is just a test, then this should be enough," Uchiha Gen thought, but his eyes didn't dare to leave Jiraiya for a moment. He noticed that some of the shuriken below weren't completely damaged. Should he go down and retrieve them later? No, that would be too undignified.
Although I was being chased and running around, I didn't have much dignity left... The more I thought about it, the weaker, more pitiful, and helpless I felt.
Jiraiya watched as Gen Uchiha's Sharingan continued to stare intently at him. It has to be said, being stared at by such eyes was truly (annoying and irritating?)
...Anyway, it's just an indescribable feeling, very unpleasant. And the exchange just now was considered a draw? Even though I didn't use my full strength.
Naruto stared in disbelief at the two fighters' battle, which lasted less than a minute from start to finish, and both of them only suffered minor scratches. Completely confused, he asked, "What's going on with Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi silently compared himself to Uchiha Gen in his mind, and it seemed that if he were to fight him, he could at best only hold him off, a 50/50 chance...
Thinking back to his confidence when facing Yoshiya, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, but "Don't worry, Jiraiya-sama will definitely win." Putting aside Jiraiya-sensei's own strength, to be honest, he also has a powerful summoning beast!
"Can I go now?" Uchiha Gen asked without much emotion, but he was a little unsure of himself. After all, keeping one's word is not a concept when dealing with enemies.
Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then nodded when he saw the bloodstains on his face.
Noticing Jiraiya's gaze, Gen Uchiha subconsciously touched his face and saw the red on his hand—he was really injured and there was blood.
At this inopportune moment, Gen Uchiha began to ponder: whose blood would it be if we took it for DNA testing? But despite his thoughts, his feet were already making their escape.
Jiraiya watched as Uchiha Gen disappeared into the woods, scratching his head and laughing at Naruto and the others, "Alright, it's nothing, let's go back. Konoha still has a lot of things to deal with."
Thinking about all that pile of documents, I really need to get Tsunade back quickly…
……
Seeing that Jiraiya had let Gen Uchiha go, Sasuke angrily ran up to Jiraiya and demanded, "Why didn't you find out what really happened on the night of the massacre?"
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes. "What an impolite brat!" He flicked Sasuke's forehead with his finger, causing a red mark to appear and Sasuke to stagger back a few steps. "Uchiha brat, this is your problem, not mine. If Naruto hadn't begged me, would you be standing here questioning me now?"
Hmm~ For some reason, I found Uchiha Gen to be quite polite just now.
Kakashi chuckled and pulled Sasuke back with a wry smile. "Sasuke, you need to be polite. This is a senior, and one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Lord Jiraiya." At the same time, he was somewhat annoyed that he hadn't been paying attention and hadn't kept an eye on Sasuke.
The Legendary Sannin of Konoha—just like Orochimaru, is this what Naruto has been learning from these past few days? That's why he's progressed so quickly. Sasuke clenched his fists, that loser…
Suddenly, Sasuke thought of something, took a deep breath to calm himself down, told Kakashi that he had calmed down, and walked towards Jiraiya again.
Just when Naruto and the others were very nervous.
Sasuke suddenly bowed 90 degrees to Jiraiya, "I apologize for my previous rudeness!" Even though Orochimaru was weak, he was still stronger than he was now. As for asking Jiraiya to teach him... that was indeed what he was thinking just now, but his pride wasn't so low as to compete with a loser for a teacher. This action stunned Naruto and the others for a moment.
When Sasuke returned to the group, he glanced at Kakashi out of the corner of his eye, his eyes flickering with uncertainty, as if he were lost in thought...
Kakashi, completely unaware of Sasuke's thoughts, suddenly sneezed, pinched his nose, and thought to himself: Who's thinking of me?
Jiraiya was also unaware of the situation, but he wasn't about to hold a grudge against a child; he simply felt that this Uchiha brat was still salvageable.
As for why he didn't ask those questions, he just thought it would be troublesome and would probably involve a lot of things, which was something the Hokage should worry about.
As time moved forward, on Uchiha Gen's side, as he moved further and further away from Sasuke, a throbbing headache began to creep up his head. He shook his head: What the hell? A reanimated body can still have a headache?
Having given up Sasuke's eyes, he now only has three choices: Itachi, Obito, or Danzo. As for Kakashi, he only has one eye.
After some thought, he decided to visit Danzo; he could easily take two of those Sharingan from that armful. But he needed to figure out a way to do it; he definitely couldn't do it alone.
Danzo is the only character in Naruto who cannot be redeemed. Gen Uchiha had no qualms about attacking him; the only problem was that he couldn't defeat him.
My head still hurts.
As Yue jumped up to another branch, his legs suddenly gave way, and he slipped and fell to the ground. Uchiha Gen struggled to get up, but everything went black, and he completely lost consciousness.
Jiraiya walked along the road, ostensibly discussing his thoughts on the novel *Make-Out Paradise* with Kakashi, though that was in reality the case. However, he kept his attention wandering, noticing the slightly swaying branches of a tree. Was the wind blowing in that direction?...
When Gen Uchiha regained consciousness, he found himself in a pitch-black space, yet he could clearly see what was around him, making one wonder where the light source was coming from.
In the middle of this space stood a large cross, its black outline emitting a faint red light. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that a person was chained up beneath the cross.
Gen Uchiha searched his memory for all the Naruto characters, and the only one that seemed to fit the current situation was Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi, but that didn't make sense. And...
"Successfully pulled in, target found!" A person who looked exactly like Uchiha Gen suddenly appeared behind him and muttered to himself. However, compared to Uchiha Gen, his expression was more indifferent, not arrogant but rather like a machine.
