Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

"No matter who you are, I don't like this kind of 'joke'." Kakashi's polite smile faded.

Hashirama glanced at Uchiha Gen and then at Kakashi, frowning in confusion. What gift? What are these two talking about?

Speaking of which, is that guy's covered eye actually a Sharingan? If I remember correctly, Tsunade mentioned before that this person seems to be a junior member of the Hatake family, um—Hatake Kakashi?

"This is no joke. If you insist on being more specific, it's that Obito Uchiha is still alive, and as for me—"

Uchiha Gen grinned, revealing a wide smile: "Let me reintroduce myself, my name is..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Gen was immediately covered in the mouth by Hashirama and quickly disappeared from the scene!

Kakashi was shocked and wanted to catch the culprit and get an explanation. However, because the content was too explosive, Kakashi was a beat slow to react. When he activated his Sharingan and looked around, he found nothing. He didn't even know which way the two people in front of him had left.

Only when no one was around did Hashirama release Uchiha Gen, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

"Hmm...don't you think it's fun?" Uchiha Gen asked with a smile after a moment of contemplation.

Before "Hashirama" could respond, Uchiha Gen looked around and asked, "Speaking of which, where is your real body?"

Upon hearing this, Hashirama instinctively wanted to answer, but the words caught in his throat. Looking at Uchiha Gen, Hashirama had a bad feeling: "Why are you asking this?"

Seeing Hashirama's reaction, Uchiha Gen silently snapped his fingers in his mind. It seemed that the current situation in Konoha was not much different from his guess. Tobirama seemed to be busy with other things recently, Tsunade was in a meeting, and as for Hashirama's real body, it had been a long time since he came to see him. Perhaps due to some coincidence, the three Hokage of Konoha were most likely not in the village at the moment.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen felt a mischievous glint in his eye: "Tell me, if I caused trouble in Konoha right now, could you stop me?"

Without hesitation, Hashirama said directly, "You wouldn't do that."

"..." Uchiha Gen choked for a moment, his expression twitching slightly: "Why?"

After all, if we're really talking about it, just considering his identity as 'Uchiha Gen,' he could easily come up with 'ten thousand' reasons to attack Konoha.

However, Hashirama also thought of something else: if Gen Uchiha truly harbored malice towards Konoha, then he and Tobirama wouldn't be in their current situation. After all, what kind of person would dig their own grave...?

Hashirama hesitated for a moment before replying, "Intuition."

The shadowy glint in Uchiha Gen's eyes slowly disappeared, and he shrugged, saying, "...Okay, I really wouldn't do that, but I've got a problem with my brain and need to go to the Falls of Truth to find a way to 'cure' it."

Hashirama was taken aback: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

Uchiha Gen rubbed his head and said, "I thought I could get through these few days without any problems, but now I feel that if it drags on, it might be a bit difficult."

Hearing this, 'Hashirama' pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Then go back and rest now. Your main body will be here in about an hour."

Seeing that "Hashirama" had simply disbanded right in front of him, Uchiha Gen was speechless. This guy really trusted him. Couldn't he have been a little more suspicious and a little less trusting? That way, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

In his mental world, as negative emotions increased, some memories returned, reminding Uchiha Gen of many things. However, this also raised questions. Now he has a general understanding of the origin of the 'skin,' provided that the system did not lie to him.

As for the specific cause of his death—Uchiha Gen had previously assumed it was because he overestimated his abilities and tried to "cause trouble," which ultimately led to his own demise.

However, after obtaining Bone Lord's skin, he did not have any memories of it, which led him to suspect for a time that it was because Qian Tong had changed the 'past'.

The problem is that at that time, Gen Uchiha did not sense any events or people that could threaten his life. He was already quite strong, the Kaguya clan could not pose a threat to him, and knowing the plot, he would not confront Konoha.

This unusual situation immediately made Uchiha Gen notice something: in all his previous memories, Uchiha Gen had not seen what the direct cause of his 'death' was, or more precisely, who killed him.

He tried asking the system, but received no response.

Although this situation was within Uchiha Gen's expectations, it still did not diminish his displeasure with the system's passive and uncooperative behavior.

"System, what do you think is the meaning of this person's existence?" Uchiha Gen stood on the Hokage Rock with his arms outstretched like the Titanic, his eyes gazing down with a detached look, as if he had seen through life and death.

The system message reads: "...You are now in Edo Tensei form." The subtext is that doing this is useless.

Gen Uchiha raised an eyebrow. The system actually responded to him. Of course he knew that doing so was useless. Even when he was still alive, he could only kill himself by falling headfirst into the ground under extremely bad luck, and there had to be a sharp object on the ground.

"Answer my previous question?"

silence……

Gen Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly: "Then let me ask you another question. Are those worlds purely memories?"

System: "Not entirely."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen pondered for a moment and then asked a very strange question: "What is my purpose?"

System: "Resurrect."

"Resurrection..." Uchiha Yuan muttered to himself, seemingly pondering the meaning of those two words. He felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it, since that was indeed his goal at the moment.

"Speaking of which..."

Before Uchiha Gen could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice: "Hey! You brat over there! Get down from the Hokage Rock! This is disrespectful to the Hokage!"

Before the disheveled middle-aged man could grab him, in the blink of an eye, Uchiha Gen was lifted off the Second Hokage's head.

Seeing the person in front of him suddenly disappear, the middle-aged man who had just been scolding him was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes and found that there was still nothing in front of him, and the surroundings were unusually quiet. "Hiss~ Why do I feel a chill down my spine..."

While Hashirama was on his way, Gen Uchiha took the opportunity to visit the referee of the Chunin tournament. There are very few people in Konoha with the surname Shiranui. Based on his previous memories, the answer became clear: Genma Shiranui.

However, Uchiha Gen didn't intend to cause trouble this time. He simply visited his readers with the purest intentions of an author, and also brought a copy of his latest novel to the bewildered Shiranui Genma. Whether or not to reprint and sell it was up to Shiranui Genma himself.

However, this operation made Hashirama, who returned later, suspicious of Genma Shiranui for quite some time, always feeling that the current Genma Shiranui had been switched by Gen Uchiha.

Since the meeting was to be held in the Land of Fire, Tsunade had already returned to the Hokage's office. Of course, she was accompanied by the other four Kage, but they were not gathered together. Instead, they were discussing and arranging something within their own teams.

……

"So he's the one who wants to go to the True Waterfall?" The Raikage scrutinized Uchiha Gen from head to toe, wondering how he knew about the place.
