Background / History

Originally named Ye Yuan, Gen recalls helping a lost child find their parents before inexplicably transmigrating. He awakens as an Uchiha resurrected by Orochimaru through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, with no clear explanation for why his summoned body belongs to the Uchiha clan. 2

Orochimaru quickly notices that Gen behaves abnormally for a reanimated body and attempts to keep him under control. Gen, meanwhile, immediately begins considering how to escape Orochimaru’s command while extracting useful resources from him. 1 2

Gen later uses the identity Uzumaki Reikawa to enter Konoha, presenting himself as a displaced Uzumaki survivor. The persona gives him access to Konoha while concealing both his Edo Tensei nature and his objective of taking the Sharingan held by Danzō. 20 21

After obtaining multiple skins and assigning them to clones, Gen establishes the prototype of Genkyo, an organization operating through identities including Uchiha Gen, Hyuga Mokujin, and Bone Lord. 50

Appearance

Gen’s appearance changes frequently because of his system-provided skins, disguises, and clone identities. His original restored face retains visible cracks associated with his Impure World Reincarnation body. 12 17

• His initial identity, Jiya, has an ordinary-looking face and wears an Otogakure forehead protector around his left arm. 2
• His original/restored appearance has long black hair and a cracked face. 12
• As Uzumaki Reikawa, he has long red hair and resembles a healthy version of Nagato. 20
• His Shikotsumyaku skin gives him pale skin, short white hair, green eyes, and visible bone spurs. 46 50
• He often wears masks to conceal the cracks on his Edo Tensei body. 37

Personality

Gen is eccentric, theatrical, and prone to treating dangerous situations with flippancy. He openly describes his former self as a “drama queen” with mild persecutory delusions, and his behavior often leaves others convinced that he is unstable. 2 3 4

Despite his manipulative streak, he repeatedly shows restraint toward people he considers unfortunate or vulnerable. He buys food for the Sound trio, worries about Dosu Kinata’s fate, gives snacks to Konohamaru’s group, and refuses to immediately take Sasuke’s eyes even when doing so would advance his own objective. 2 4 7 13

He is highly practical about survival and money. Gen steals Orochimaru’s equipment for resale, exploits gambling pools with foreknowledge, and considers bounty hunting and robbery as potential sources of income. 3 8 18 43

Abilities & Skills
