Naruto starts from the Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 158 The Curtain Is About to Rise (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
"What?! Not only is Itachi Uchiha badly injured again, but Kisame has also been captured?"

The Country of Rain, Akatsuki Organization Base.

Black Zetsu stared in disbelief at Obito, whose face was full of gloom, and then glanced at Itachi Uchiha, who was lying unconscious on the ground with a gash in his chest.

In the end, he really couldn't hold back anymore!
He's used to failure.

His extensive experience with failures told him that he should be used to this kind of situation, but the problem was that they were about to do something big, and then they pulled this stunt.

Is this really appropriate?

"It was Itachi Uchiha's idiot idea, and I also wanted to take this opportunity to divert attention to Sasuke, so..."

Obito Uchiha was also extremely unhappy.

"He said it would only take a minute, but Kitagawa Gen actually possessed Ice Release, and Kisame couldn't even last a minute under the suppression of Flying Thunder God Technique."

Obito Uchiha is really annoyed right now; he's been keeping an eye on the battle on Kisame's side.

He knew it wasn't that Kisame was incompetent; it was just that he had encountered Kitagawa Gen.

The terrifying mobility of the Flying Thunder God Technique, combined with the Ice Release to seal off the Water Release, meant that Kisame was annihilated before he could even make a move!

Moreover, Zabuza also escaped.
For a moment, he even wondered if they were not suited to recruiting new people.
Hiruko succeeded, but in the blink of an eye, not only did Zabuza fail, but Kisame was also captured!
"However, there was some gain this time as well."

With a sigh, Obito Uchiha continued speaking.

"We also obtained some new information this time. Orochimaru seems to be planning something during the Chunin Exams, and Konoha has always considered him one of our people."

Orochimaru? He's also eyeing the Chunin Exams?

Black Zetsu was already incredibly annoyed, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard these words.

"Konoha has its eyes on us?"

"I don't know, but there are opportunities to exploit them."

Obito Uchiha's little brain was spinning rapidly.

"Orochimaru is a rogue ninja of Konoha and was once one of the Legendary Sannin. He knows Konoha's defense system inside and out. Even though he has been replaced, he is definitely more reliable than Itachi Uchiha."

"You mean to make good use of Orochimaru?"

Although Black Zetsu was very annoyed, he still followed Obito's line of thought and considered it for a while.

"Yes."

Obito Uchiha pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Moreover, if necessary, we can take action against Orochimaru, at least to find Kisame. In particular, following Orochimaru will make it easier to find Danzo."

Kisame Hoshigaki is his man, he can't just leave him alone!

"Besides, Orochimaru has a wide range of methods, and using him might have some surprising effects."

"Alright, I'll investigate Orochimaru thoroughly and pinpoint his location."

After a long while, Hei Jue sighed helplessly. What else could he do now that things had come to this?
"What about Itachi Uchiha? What are your thoughts?"

"Let's treat him first; his value hasn't been fully realized."

Looking at the unconscious Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth and spoke.

"We have to squeeze every last drop of value out of him before we talk about anything else; he can't die so easily!"

"So, the Akatsuki organization has their eyes on Sasuke?"

Konoha, inside the Hokage's office.

After listening to Kakashi and Kitagawa Gen's report with a worried expression, Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples and asked...

"Furthermore, it seems they're planning something during the Chunin Exams?"

"That seems to be the case at the moment, but the specifics are still unknown."

Kakashi shook his head and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"It's just that Obito Uchiha denied that Orochimaru was one of their people. Although I'm not sure if it's true, such an organization wouldn't do that, so..."

"Orochimaru left their organization?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment; in his view, this kind of thing really wasn't surprising at all.

Orochimaru is an extremely proud person, and he probably wouldn't easily submit to someone else's rule.

But when did he quit?

Will the Akatsuki organization work in concert with him this time?

"Let's investigate first. It would be best if we could get some information out of Kisame. You did a good job this time."

After pondering for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, feeling that these troublesome matters were giving him more and more headaches.

Moreover, he felt that Kakashi was really unlucky, running into the Akatsuki organization even with a C-rank mission, just like Kitagawa Gen's first mission back then.

But no matter what, dealing a heavy blow to the Akatsuki on the eve of the Chunin Exams is a good thing!
"only."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, and the next moment he slammed his fist on the table and roared at Kakashi and Gen Kitagawa.

"What? Kado hired the Akatsuki? The Akatsuki went to recruit Zabuza and the others, didn't they?"

"."

"And what about Zabuza being reformed and killing Gato, and then being kind enough not to take the money? Thanking nature for its bounty? Don't be ridiculous!"

"."

"And I also heard that Zabuza almost killed your employer? That's outrageous!"

"."

Seeing the excited Hiruzen Sarutobi, Gen Kitagawa picked at his ear, while Kakashi looked completely embarrassed.

"Well, Gato has been entrenched in the Land of Waves for a long time, not only engaging in smuggling but also causing the people of the Land of Waves to suffer, so it seems better if he dies."

"Yes, and we didn't do it. It was Zabuza who did it, not us."

Kitagawa Gen blinked. He was definitely going to help Kakashi right now, but his words made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more unhappy.

"Do you remember what I told you about the Fourth Raikage? Don't plot loudly. Genji, you've forgotten, fine, but Kakashi, have you forgotten too?!"

"."

"Especially, how could you let him complain to me?!"

"."

Kakashi remained silent for a moment, while Kitagawa Gen nodded.

"That's right, that's what I think too, it's a pity about Kakashi-sensei."

"Quiet!"

Kakashi couldn't hold back any longer; he grabbed Kitagawa Gen to stop him from talking nonsense.

He suddenly felt that he was too normal, and therefore out of place.

Is it really appropriate to stop Naruto and the others from doing this?

"Forget it, let's leave it at that."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed; he didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer. Kitagawa and the others had done a good job, making Zabuza, the rogue ninja, take the blame while also bringing Konoha a huge sum of money—a win-win situation.

Kado was a scumbag to begin with, so his death is no big deal.

This is the problem – it wasn't done cleanly!

There are rules in the ninja world, and everyone maintains a tacit understanding on certain matters.

As for Tazuna, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also extremely unhappy.

Even if he's a nice guy, he has to consider the situation of the Konoha ninja. This time they were lucky to be Kakashi and his team, but what if it were another team?

Wouldn't we have to pay a heavy price because of Tazuna's concealment?

"I hope you won't be so reckless next time. How can a Jonin who has been in the Anbu for many years and a genius Jonin from Konoha do things so sloppily?"

"Yes"

Kakashi didn't dare to argue, and Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment before continuing to speak.

"The Anbu will take over the matters concerning Gato and the Land of Waves. As for the Chunin Exams, I want Naruto and the others to participate."

"They just graduated, is this appropriate?"

Kakashi was a little puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, he asked.

"There's still some time; they can get some proper training."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said directly.

"Also, let Naruto stay with Jiraiya for a while. Gen, your discovery last time was very meaningful. Perhaps Jiraiya can do something about it."

"Yes."

Since Hiruzen Sarutobi had already said so, Gen Kitagawa and Kakashi had nothing to object to. However, Gen Kitagawa thought for a moment and then spoke up.

"Lord Hokage, could I participate in Kisame's interrogation? This guy is quite interesting."

"No problem, you can just talk to Haiyi about this."

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't ask why; he was currently thinking about discussing the Land of Waves with the Mizukage during the Chunin Exams.

He now genuinely feels that there are more and more troublesome things coming his way.

"Alright, you can go and rest now, but I hope you won't make similar mistakes again in the future."

"."

Kakashi nodded and simply left the Hokage's office with Kitagawa Gen.

"Why did you decide to torture that guy?"

However, Kakashi was still a little curious, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"It's purely out of curiosity, and I also want to see what I can do."

Kitagawa Gen smiled casually. In fact, he wasn't just curious; he had something in mind!
The special Yin Release technique provided by Sasuke was of great benefit to him.

Although he had some concerns, given the Uchiha's personality, it would be disastrous if absorbing their Yin Release had adverse effects.

"For example, Madara's luck, Obito's intelligence, Fugaku's fighting spirit, Sasuke's composure, Itachi's planning, and Shisui's vigilance—that would be terrible!"

He was actually quite afraid of these dregs of immortal beings, who were numerous and numerous.

Fortunately, it seemed that his bloodline only absorbed energy, and other things were not included, which reassured him a lot.

[Name: Gen Kitagawa]

[Bloodline: Otsutsuki Clan (Development: 42%)]

【Doppelganger: Tenseigan (Crescent Moon Eye)】

[Special Ability: Source of the Divine Tree (Level 3)]

"Not only did it increase to 42%, but most importantly, I also gained other benefits."

His eyes gained a new ability: the [Chakra Spirit Orb]. With this, he could control a person like a puppet!
"Kisame seems like a suitable candidate for this test."

In addition, perhaps due to absorbing Sasuke's chakra, he unexpectedly discovered that his perception and use of spatial power had been further enhanced.

"Could it be that I can slowly try to develop 'Heavenly Hand Power'?"

He was also puzzled by something: he had absorbed Nagato's Yin Release technique using the Rinnegan, but it had no other effect.

After thinking it over, he wondered if it was because the eyes were not Nagato's.

But in any case, this promotion was really good for him, and he was also curious about something.

"It's already 42%. What would it be like if it reached 50%?"

"Old man, get ready to go! Get ready to go!"

Iwagakure Village, inside the Tsuchikage's office.

Deidara looked at Onoki excitedly and spoke impatiently, a gesture that almost made Onoki faint with anger.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, you and that Kitagawa Gen are both Jonin, and you don't even need to participate in the competition. I really don't know what you're thinking!"

"Hmph, I've made a promise with Kitagawa Gen, we're definitely going to have an artistic showdown!"

Deidara clenched his fists, his face beaming with smiles.

"I've been waiting for two years! This time, I'm determined to have a good competition with him and show him my art!"

You honestly spent the last two years learning Dust Escape from me, was it all for this purpose?

What a disappointment!

Onoki didn't want to talk, looking at Deidara with a face full of helplessness.

Moreover, he felt that this Chunin Exam would be anything but easy.
"Brother, I think you shouldn't go."

Inside the Hidden Cloud Village, Killer Bee looked at his older brother and couldn't help but offer a word of advice.

"We'll just participate normally, and that's all."

"Hmph, Killer Bee, do you think I'm such a reckless person?"

The Fourth Raikage, annoyed by Killer Bee's words, punched him on the head and roared.

"I know what to do, and I won't do anything reckless this time, but I can't stand being angry."

The Fourth Raikage took a deep breath. He still vividly remembered the grudge of losing his arm last time, and the subsequent 'threat' from Kitagawa Genichi made it even harder for him to let go.

He had also been keeping an eye on Kitagawa Gen's situation and knew that the kid was getting stronger and stronger.

Those nicknames all prove the kid's rapidly growing strength.

But getting him to back down is never an easy task; he is also working hard to improve himself.

"Besides having my own reasons for going this time, the Chunin Exams are also extraordinary. With all five Kage present, this kind of thing is not simple."

The Fourth Raikage had a strong feeling that something might happen this time.

Besides, the five great ninja villages have never been of one mind.
While the Fourth Raikage was deep in thought, Danzo, with a gloomy expression, was at the Root base in Konoha.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, are you investigating me?"
