Picking up the arm dropped on the ground, he reattached it using the techniques he had mastered; reattaching a severed limb was no big deal.

"What is going on! Where are my Sharingan?!" Danzo exclaimed in shock and anger. He saw that several pits had appeared on this white arm, and these were the exact locations where his Sharingan had been embedded.

"Are you sure these 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, he saw Uchiha Gen already standing atop the tree formed by Wood Style: Root Submersion.

Uchiha Gen spread his hands, where seven eyes rested neatly in his palms, including the eyes of Shisui.

"These eyes are beautiful, aren't they?" In truth, with so many bloodshot red eyeballs sitting in his hand, they didn't look beautiful at all; they looked exceptionally eerie.

Feeling intense pain, Danzo could only stare at Uchiha Gen in shock and fury with his one remaining eye. Why hadn't Wood Style: Root Submersion finished this guy off?!

However, Uchiha Gen slowly clenched his hand, and the seven Sharingan were instantly crushed and popped: "Happy, pop, gone~!"

Seeing this, Danzo felt as if his heart were bleeding. He could let the other Sharingan go, but those included Shisui's eyes!

"You lunatic!!!"

"You're the lunatic!"

Although this was the effect Uchiha Gen wanted to achieve, being called a lunatic still made him feel somewhat displeased.

In the eyes of the enraged Danzo, Uchiha Gen's evasive maneuvers appeared exceptionally bizarre. He had clearly been wounded and bloodied by his own ninjutsu, yet in the next second—perhaps not even a second later—he would recover as if nothing had happened, as if the previous situation were merely an illusion.

Furthermore, Uchiha Gen's position was closing in bit by bit.

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

"Hm, alright." Uchiha Gen actually stopped.

Danzo: "???"

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

The Susanoo moved forward, but the man himself did not. He was a man of his word.

Seeing this familiar black giant shadow, Danzo instantly recalled the time he had gouged out Shisui's eyes; it had been just like this, though back then, Shisui's Susanoo had been green.

"You are of the Uchiha?!"

The matter that had troubled Danzo and remained unresolved suddenly clicked into place. Yes, only the Uchiha would possess such genjutsu, and only they would so carelessly destroy Sharingan. It was just that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out long ago, so he had subconsciously ruled out that option.

Seeing 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 slapped down toward Danzo's location.

Watching Danzo die by his hand, Uchiha Gen suddenly frowned. He felt something was off. He remembered—Danzo had eleven Sharingan! There should be one more.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen calmed his mind and used the process of elimination to sense Danzo's location. Danzo, hiding in the shadows, realized that Uchiha Gen had not stopped there.

He was still searching for his trail. Knowing he had absolutely no chance left, the fear of death spread. When he was backed into a corner with nowhere left to retreat, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Danzo's eyes. If you won't let me live, then let's perish together!

With that thought, the moment he was discovered, Danzo suddenly charged forward. Having exhausted most of his chakra in the previous bombardment, he could only pick up a kunai and stab toward Uchiha Gen.

Uchiha Gen: "..."

This was truly a legendary scene. Facing Danzo, who used himself as bait and suddenly erupted upon closing the distance: Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique!

With just a single thought, Uchiha Gen activated Instantaneous Shift and vanished far away.

Thus, Danzo fell!

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

The previous Uzumaki Reikawa had been a Shadow Clone Technique transformation of Uchiha Gen. After putting on the skin provided by the system, the clone's durability was greatly enhanced. Not only could it use the Four Symbols Seal and Adamantine Sealing Chains, but it also looked no different from a real person.

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

As for how he ensured the clone wouldn't reveal him?

Let's just say he exploited a bug that wasn't quite a bug, though it still carried some risk. After all, being loyal to Danzo didn't mean that not speaking was disloyalty. Moreover, Uchiha Gen could have dispelled the clone before it could speak about him. Fortunately, the situation hadn't reached the worst-case scenario.

Earlier, Uchiha Gen had recorded his state using Instantaneous Shift, kicked the clone that had been hit by Kotoamatsukami, and while dispelling it, seized the chance to swap places with the clone. Only by rewinding his state the moment his memories returned did this perfectly coordinated scene occur.

As for the Sharingan, Uchiha Gen expressed that they were useless; even if they were Shisui's, keeping one pair was enough to complete the mission.

Just then, the system finally updated: Obtained First Hokage Cells, quantity unlimited.

Uchiha Gen: ...Do you have a problem? If you had said this earlier, it would have been over and done with.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Uchiha Gen looked at his fingernails, carefully removed the cells that had come out when he gouged the eyes earlier, and chose to submit them.

Seeing that the system didn't reject them, "..." It actually worked.

After a while, an electronic interface suddenly appeared: Do you wish to be resurrected?

Uchiha Gen had a headache: "Isn't that a rhetorical question? I'm in the prime of my life, haven't even been beaten down by society yet—who would want to die?"

The system interface shifted, finally displaying:

Resurrection conditions:

Obtain 12 signature cards of important Akatsuki members (0/12) Obtain 12 signature cards of important Konoha ninja (1/12) Obtained: Hatake Kakashi

Seeing that resurrection was possible, Uchiha Gen felt much better despite his confusion, though he couldn't help but complain: "...What use is this thing to you? Besides, Akatsuki is one thing, but there are tons of important characters in Konoha. Which ones are you talking about?"

Interface switch: Obtainable signature cards will have a prompt above the character's head.

Uchiha Gen let out a long sigh: Fine, at least this is more reliable than Nagato's Rebirth.

Probably...

Switching to another interface, he immediately noticed the previous skin shop had refreshed. This time, the skin was a Byakugan user... who looked about 60% similar to him.

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

Redemption cost: 35 million Ryo.

Uchiha Gen touched his flat wallet: System, are you price-gouging? This is worth the bounty on Sarutobi Asuma's head.

Receiving no response, Uchiha Gen looked up at the sky and lamented: Why do I still have to earn money even after dying? Damn capitalism.

Over on his side, Hatake Kakashi was anxiously searching everywhere for someone. After all, the person had only been with him for a single day before vanishing; who could he even complain to about this?

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

Without making a sound, Hatake Kakashi took two steps forward and suddenly whipped out a Kunai, slashing backward.

Seeing this, Uzumaki Reikawa hurriedly backed away, covering his head as he crouched down: "Holy crap, help! Hatake Kakashi-senpai is killing someone!"

"..."

Hatake Kakashi frowned: "Where did you run off to? Why were you suddenly following me?"

Seeing that Hatake Kakashi seemed genuinely angry, Uzumaki Reikawa's expression turned timid. He cautiously glanced at Hatake Kakashi before quickly looking away: "I just saw you looking for me earlier and wanted to play a little prank on you. I'm sorry..."

Seeing Uzumaki Reikawa's expression, Hatake Kakashi didn't know what to say for a moment: "Forget it. Team 7 is going out for a meal today. Do you want to come?"

Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Reikawa's eyes lit up: "A meal?! Can I go too? Thank you, Hatake Kakashi-senpai."

Seeing this, the doubts in Hatake Kakashi's heart dissipated slightly, and he smiled helplessly. However, as he smiled, his expression suddenly stiffened... Hiss, why did he suddenly think of Jiya? That certainly wasn't a pleasant memory.
