Revival?

Picking up the arm that had fallen to the ground, he reattached it using the techniques he had mastered. Severing and reattaching an arm was no big deal.

"What's going on?! Where are my Sharingan?!" Danzo roared in fury and shock. Several holes had appeared in the white arm, each one a spot where a Sharingan had previously been implanted.

"Are you sure those Sharingan were yours?" Uchiha Gen suddenly appeared to Danzo's right. In an instant, Danzo felt a sharp pain in his right eye, and his vision went completely dark.

When he opened his eyes again, Uchiha Gen was already standing atop the tree formed by Wood Style: Root Submersion.

Uchiha Gen spread open his hands. Seven eyes rested neatly in his palms, including Shisui's eye.

"Beautiful eyes, aren't they?" In truth, so many bloodshot red eyeballs resting in his hands looked anything but beautiful. They were downright grotesque.

Overwhelmed by pain, Danzo could only glare at Uchiha Gen with his remaining eye, shocked and enraged. Why hadn't Wood Style: Root Submersion taken care of this bastard?!

Uchiha Gen slowly clenched his hand, crushing all seven Sharingan at once. "Joy. Pop. Gone~!"

Danzo's heart bled at the sight. The other Sharingan were one thing, but Shisui's eye had been among them!

"You lunatic!!!"

"You're the lunatic!"

Though this was exactly the effect Uchiha Gen had wanted, being called a lunatic still made him unhappy.

To the enraged Danzo, Uchiha Gen's evasion methods seemed especially bizarre. He had clearly been wounded and bleeding from Danzo's ninjutsu just moments ago, yet in the next second—or perhaps even less—he had recovered completely, as though what had just happened had been an illusion.

And Uchiha Gen was steadily drawing closer.

"Don't come any closer!" Finally feeling the fear of death, Danzo shouted instinctively.

"Mm, okay." Uchiha Gen actually stopped.

Danzo: "???"

The next moment, a black Susanoo slowly emerged from Uchiha Gen's body.

The Susanoo went over, but Uchiha Gen himself did not. He was a man of his word.

Seeing that familiar black giant, Danzo instantly recalled the time he had dug out Shisui's eye. It had been like this then too, except Shisui's Susanoo had been green.

"You're from the Uchiha?!"

The question that had troubled Danzo for so long was suddenly answered. Of course. Only an Uchiha could possess such genjutsu, and only an Uchiha would destroy Sharingan so carelessly. But the Uchiha clan had long since been wiped out, so he had instinctively ruled out that possibility.

With no hope of escape, Danzo suddenly calmed down. "Are you here for revenge?!"

Uchiha Gen did not answer. The black giant hand formed by Susanoo slammed down at Danzo's position.

Watching Danzo die by his own hand, Uchiha Gen suddenly frowned. Something felt off. Then he remembered—Danzo had eleven Sharingan! There should have been one more.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen calmed himself and used elimination to sense out Danzo's location. Hidden in the shadows, Danzo realized that Uchiha Gen had not let the matter rest.

He was still searching for him. Knowing he had completely run out of chances, fear of death spread through Danzo. When there was nowhere left to retreat, a ruthless glint flashed through his eye. If you won't let me live, then we'll die together!

With that thought, Danzo charged out the instant he was discovered. After the earlier barrage, he had little chakra left, so he could only grab a kunai and stab it toward Uchiha Gen.

Uchiha Gen: "..."

What a deathly awkward scene. Faced with Danzo using himself as bait and suddenly unleashing the Inner Four Symbols Seal once he got close—

With a mere thought, Uchiha Gen used Instantaneous Shift and vanished far away.

Thus, Danzo fell!

After leaving the area, Uchiha Gen chose to submit two Sharingan.

The Uzumaki Reikawa from earlier had been Uchiha Gen's Shadow Clone Technique. After equipping the skin provided by the system, the clone's durability had greatly increased. Not only could it use the Four Symbols Seal and Adamantine Sealing Chains, it also looked no different from a real person.

The only drawback was that after Uchiha Gen equipped the skin on the clone, he himself lost access to those two ninjutsu.

As for how he could be sure the clone would not expose him?

All he could say was that he had exploited something that was not quite a bug. There was still some risk involved. After all, being loyal to Danzo did not mean remaining silent was disloyal, and Uchiha Gen could dismiss the clone before it revealed him. Fortunately, things had not reached the worst possible outcome.

Earlier, Uchiha Gen had used Instantaneous Shift to record his state, then kicked the clone under Kotoamatsukami. As he dismissed it, he took the chance to replace it. The moment its memories returned, he immediately rewound, creating that perfectly coordinated scene.

As for the Sharingan, Uchiha Gen felt they were useless. Even Shisui's eye was no exception. Keeping one pair for the mission was enough.

Just then, the system finally updated: the amount of First Hokage Cells obtained was unlimited.

Uchiha Gen: ...Are you serious? Couldn't you have said that earlier?

Suddenly, Uchiha Gen seemed to think of something. He looked at his fingernails, carefully scraped off the cells that had gotten under them when he had gouged out the eyes earlier, and chose to submit them.

When the system did not return them to him—

"..." It had actually worked.

After a while, an electronic panel suddenly appeared: Do you want to be revived?

Uchiha Gen rubbed his aching head. "Isn't that a stupid question? I'm in the prime of my life and haven't even been beaten down by society yet. Who would want to die?"

The system panel flickered before finally displaying:

Conditions for Revival:

Obtain 12 signature cards from important Akatsuki members (0/12)

Obtain 12 signature cards from important Konoha ninja (1/12) Obtained: Hatake Kakashi

Seeing that revival was possible, Uchiha Gen felt much better despite his confusion. Still, there was something he had to complain about. "...What do you even need this stuff for? And Akatsuki is one thing, but there are tons of important people in Konoha. Which ones are you talking about?"

The panel changed: Characters whose signature cards can be obtained will have prompts above their heads.

Uchiha Gen let out a long sigh. Fine. At least this sounds more reliable than Nagato's Rebirth.

Probably...

After switching panels, he immediately found that the skin store had refreshed as well. This time, the skin was a Byakugan user... and its face looked about sixty percent like his own.

Even so, Uchiha Gen stubbornly believed that compared to himself, this skin was still just a tiny bit less handsome.

Price: 35 million ryo.

Uchiha Gen touched his flat wallet. System, are you hiking up prices on the spot? That's worth Sarutobi Asuma's head.

He received no response. Uchiha Gen looked to the sky in grief and indignation. Why do I still have to make money even after dying? Damn capitalism.

Over on Kakashi's side, he was anxiously searching everywhere. The man had only been under his watch for one day before disappearing. Who was he supposed to complain to about that?

Just as he was about to leave and search elsewhere, he suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind.

Without making a sound, Kakashi took two steps forward, then suddenly drew a kunai and slashed backward.

Uzumaki Reikawa hurriedly jumped away and squatted down with his head in his hands. "Holy crap, help! Kakashi-senpai is trying to kill me!"

"..."

Kakashi frowned. "Where did you run off to? Why were you suddenly following behind me?"

Seeing that Kakashi seemed genuinely angry, Uzumaki Reikawa looked slightly intimidated. He cautiously glanced at Kakashi, then quickly looked away again. "I saw that you seemed to be looking for me, and I just wanted to play a little prank. Sorry..."

Seeing Uzumaki Reikawa's expression, Kakashi did not know what to say for a moment. "Forget it. Team 7 is having a get-together today. Do you want to come?"

Uzumaki Reikawa's eyes immediately lit up. "A get-together?! Can I come too? Thank you, Kakashi-senpai."

At that, some of Kakashi's suspicions faded. He smiled helplessly, but his smile suddenly froze... Hiss. Why did I suddenly think of Jiya? That really wasn't a pleasant memory.
