Chapter 50 Exposure
"..." Her lips twitched. "Stir-frying is too heaty, let's go eat barbecue instead." Uzumaki Reikawa pretended not to understand and continued, "If you like tomatoes, you can add some ketchup."
Although he didn't know what had happened, Naruto was in a great mood when he saw Sasuke get beaten up, and he looked like he was trying not to laugh.
Sakura and Karin blinked, somewhat bewildered by the current situation. What was going on?
However, Sasuke saw through Lingchuan's thoughts and coldly said, "Stir-frying is too heaty, you can make soup instead."
"..."
On his own side, Uchiha Gen is carrying out a mission using the identity of Hyuga Kito.
However, the mission did not go smoothly. Uchiha Gen was speechless at the probing from all sides. He didn't know who spread the rumor that his eyes were very likely the Byakugan of the main family. As a result, many people who came to him did not want to give him a mission, but rather wanted to confirm his identity and gouge out his eyes.
Contrary to expectations, most people became aware of him through his bounty posters, and the bounty was steadily increasing, currently reaching over 1500 million taels. If nothing unexpected happened, it would continue to rise. Uchiha Gen stared enviously at his bounty, trying to control the urge to sell himself.
If we wait a little longer, the bounty could potentially surpass Asuma's. However, if I weren't wearing a mask and couldn't be entirely sure if it was the main family's Byakugan, the bounty would probably have already exceeded that by now.
Although he didn't have many missions, through double-crossing and counter-killing, Uchiha Gen accumulated a considerable amount of bounty and obtained some information about the whereabouts of the wandering monk Rōshi, the Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails. It seemed that the recall of Iwagakure was exposed because of the disappearance of the Five-Tails Jinchūriki.
Presumably, Akatsuki already knows about this, which is far behind their own information. The question is, who will be sent to retrieve the Tailed Beasts? Or perhaps Rōshi has already been captured?
Gen Uchiha pondered for a moment, and thought, "Hmm, it feels really bad to be isolated by the organization."
Looking at the system interface, I directly selected and redeemed the skin with the Corpse Bone Bloodline. At the same time, the bounty I had earned over the past few days was also completely wiped out.
The store has been updated again, but this time the new skin is for an ordinary background character with long black hair and black eyes. The only distinguishing feature is a beauty mark near his eye. Compared to previous skins, it doesn't seem to offer any special abilities, but the price remains the same as Asuma's kill.
Apply the Byakugan skin to the clone, and choose to use the Corpse Bone Pulse skin.
However, the newly appeared Byakugan clone glanced at the original body and remarked, "You're becoming more and more like a demon."
Uchiha Gen: "..." Although his skin looks alright, his pale face and green eyes, coupled with his lack of vitality, do make him look somewhat like a ghost.
But, "Aren't you just like me? So why are you making fun of yourself?"
"Oh, I forgot."
"..."
The skill panel has also been updated with two new skills: Corpse Bone Pulse - Early Fern Dance and Corpse Bone Pulse - Ten Fingers Piercing Shot.
Now, aside from Uzumaki Reikawa who is still in Konoha, Uchiha Gen can use three identities: Uchiha Gen, Hyuga Kito, and the newly acquired Ainz Ooal Gown. To avoid trouble, it is obviously most appropriate for Ainz Ooal Gown to investigate the Jinchuriki's situation this time.
The initial prototype has been completed. As for the organization, let's call it Yuanxu. Yuan means source, and the organization means nothingness or non-existence.
After familiarizing himself with Ainz Ooal Gown's skills, Gen Uchiha gave the skin to his clone and planned to go find Orochimaru. Meanwhile, Kito Hyuga and Ainz Ooal Gown stayed behind to continue working together on missions, though they were happy to be hired regarding Jinchuriki. However, that didn't mean they had to stick around protecting them. Everything comes at a price. Like a stranger suddenly offering you food with great enthusiasm—would you accept it readily or be suspicious?
However… for some reason, Uchiha Gen felt that this Byakugan clone was a bit strange. Not only was it attacking itself, but it also seemed to have a bit of OCD? No matter what it picked up, it would wipe its palms with paper afterward, something he didn't remember doing himself. But then Uchiha Gen suddenly remembered that Naruto could fight with his own clones, and that made sense.
……
Meanwhile, Orochimaru, who was being targeted, frowned as he looked at the White Zetsu he had plotted to kill. What was this thing? Why did it feel a bit like the First Hokage's cells? Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, and he was about to approach and take some samples.
His movements suddenly stopped, and he retreated violently. Suddenly, a large fire shot out in front of him, seemingly intending to burn the corpse and Orochimaru together.
Following the source of the flames, Orochimaru saw only a guy wearing an orange swirling mask. Looking at the Akatsuki robe with black background and red clouds on his body, Orochimaru suddenly felt a surge of anger.
Aside from defecting, I haven't done anything to offend the Akatsuki recently, yet I've been hunted down to so many bases; the losses are incalculable.
Obito Uchiha was also getting impatient. The rabbit had multiple burrows, and the numerous small traps during the chase were incredibly annoying. Even now, he wasn't sure if the one in front of him was a shadow clone. "What's your relationship with Gen Uchiha?"
Orochimaru's mood suddenly improved upon hearing this, and he grinned. It seemed his creation had caused some trouble outside. But why should he tell the person who had caused him such significant losses? He licked his lips defiantly and said, "What's the connection? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, who knows? Want to guess?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Obito wanted to flip the table, but he held back for the time being. If he really flipped the table, he might have made a wasted trip. Thinking of Orochimaru's interest in White Zetsu's body, he calmly said, "Let's make a deal. You tell me everything about him, and I can give you a corpse from earlier for research."
Orochimaru's mocking expression softened slightly upon hearing this, but then he seemed to remember something and replied simply, "I don't know." However, he didn't leave immediately after saying that, as if he was waiting for something.
"..." Actually, Obito's question just now contained some traps. Whether you agreed or not, you could get some information. However, Orochimaru saw through it immediately.
Thinking of this, Obito temporarily put his mind at ease and tossed over a charred arm. Orochimaru, seeing this, released a small snake that swallowed the charred arm and took it away.
Having obtained the item, Orochimaru suddenly laughed again, "It's not that I know nothing at all. I don't know which Uchiha Gen you're talking about, but I know that Uchiha Gen is a dead man, and his strength was only at the three-tomoe level. Whether you believe it or not, I don't know what he did; he released himself from control."
After saying that, he wanted to leave, but seeing this, Obito's expression was indifferent and he used Kamui to quickly approach. The next moment, Ku slashed Orochimaru's neck, but a cloud of smoke burst out. So it was another shadow clone.
In fact, the Orochimaru just now was indeed himself, but after obtaining the arm, he retreated with the small snake as a precaution. Looking at the arm in front of him, Orochimaru smiled. He had a premonition that this thing could completely make up for the loss this time.
