Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

I think I'm sick.

"...According to the data report, you do not have any diseases."

"That might be..."

"It's not because you stepped in with your left foot today. Get out, I won't see you out," the white-haired man said, gesturing for the person in front of him to leave.

"Hey~ wait a minute, are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? Could it be that your testing technology is faulty?"

"..."

The white-haired man's lips twitched slightly. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and said, "I'm making this clear to you for the last time! You have a mental problem, not something wrong with your eyes, nose, mouth, ass, or any other random stuff!"

"If I could cure mental illness, I would have cured your entire clan long ago! Get dressed and get the hell out of here! Stop showing up at my lab all the time!"

Ignoring the white-haired man's rage, the man with long black hair sat on the bed and pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Since simply accumulating negative emotions isn't enough for me to activate the Kaleidoscope, is there any way to compress these negative emotions and then unleash them at the right moment?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama instantly calmed down, seemingly considering the possibility of this. However, less than a second later, he immediately rejected the dangerous idea: "I advise you not to do this. No one can withstand such an emotional outburst. Doing this will either result in suicide or turning you into a madman. And if you really intend to do this, I would rather kill you before that happens than face a powerful madman."

"Me? Powerful?" Uchiha Gen pointed to himself, his tone skeptical. "You mean someone like me, who hasn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in 20 years since reaching the third tomoe, is strong? Did you even ask your older brother Hashirama's opinion?"

Tobirama ignored Uchiha Gen's complaints and said in an unusually calm tone, "If you hadn't awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of one, I would believe you more."

The implication is that there's no room for negotiation on this matter!

Uchiha Gen exclaimed in despair, "So you knew I awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of one? Twenty years! Twenty years! Do you know how I've spent these past twenty years?!"

"..."

Tobirama pretended not to hear.

The difference in treatment Uchiha Gen has received within the clan over the years is indeed enormous. From being a clan prodigy to a symbol of shame, he is constantly being used by Uchiha clan elders to educate their children. Anyone with a weaker mindset would probably have collapsed long ago.

However, Tobirama was also well aware that without this, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the Uchiha clan's cooperation in some of his experiments. After all, some of these experiments came very close to exploring the very essence of the clan.

Tobirama: "I'll think about it again."

However, the considerations mentioned here refer to how to quickly and effectively resolve "trouble" when uncontrollable events occur.

Ultimately, Tobirama didn't trust Gen Uchiha, or rather, he didn't trust the entire clan. His emotions outweighed his reason, and a bunch of unpredictable bombshells would be a headache for anyone.

"Reconsider how to resolve this matter?"

"roll……"

Therefore, the Uchiha clan is really annoying.

Only after sending Uchiha Gen away did Tobirama finally exhale. He went to the table and reviewed the data he had just obtained, seemingly deep in thought. His brows furrowed more and more, and suddenly the pen in his hand could not withstand the pressure and made a 'snap' sound.

Tobirama snapped out of his daze, looked at the broken pieces in his hand, and casually tossed them into the trash can.

"Brother, I just saw Uchiha Gen go out. How was things today?" Looking up, I saw a young man with black and white hair walking in from the stairwell and asking.

Hearing the voice, Tobirama felt his head throb even more: "Itama, you've been coming to my lab way too often lately."

"Ah, really?"

Senju Itama scratched his head: "Let's put that aside for now. Second brother, have you found out why Uchiha Gen hasn't been able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan yet?"

"He's too 'rational'."

Unlike his previous statement to Uchiha Gen, Tobirama spoke these words without the slightest hesitation, as if he had known the answer all along.

"reason?"

Itama almost thought he'd misheard: "But what about reason...?"

As he spoke, Itama's voice gradually stopped, clearly as if he had remembered something. Indeed, being able to maintain absolute rationality is undoubtedly a good thing in most situations.

However, if such an ability were applied to the Uchiha clan, it would directly eliminate their possibility of further increasing their strength by relying on the Sharingan.

As for choosing to abandon the Sharingan and learn other ninjutsu, putting aside the pride of the Uchiha clan, the reason why those eyes attract attention is not just because they can easily replicate the ninjutsu that others have painstakingly trained for many years.

"A three-tomoe jewel at only one year old..." Tobirama sighed. This was only the time they discovered that Uchiha Gen had a three-tomoe jewel; the exact time it appeared was still unknown.

Putting everything else aside, just from this point of view, it is highly likely that Uchiha Gen possessed a certain level of thinking ability at least by the age of one. After all, relying solely on biological instincts such as crying and screaming to eat and drink is not enough to generate strong emotions.

Tobirama: "After one mission, I asked him a question: Did he 'hate' me?"

Itama: "Hate?"

Tobirama: "Yes, 'hatred.' If a person has their things stolen, loses their home, or has their closest and dearest loved ones killed by an enemy, they will feel intense emotions such as anger and hatred."

"However, I've never felt this in Uchiha Gen. So the question is, if he can't generate these emotions, how did he awaken his three tomoe? Was it a natural talent?"

Banma was a little confused by these cryptic words, and shook his head, saying, "Second brother, although I think I'm a bit smarter than eldest brother, I'm definitely not as good as you. Let's just get straight to the point."

Tobirama paused for a moment and said, "I can't see through him. If it weren't for the crazy ideas he always comes up with, I would even think that he has already activated the Kaleidoscope, and he just comes to me every day for routine checks to put my mind at ease."

"Before meeting this guy, I could hardly imagine that one day I would use reason to describe a 'madman'."

……

"Hey, Uchiha Gen, good morning! How's today? Did you find a way to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Senju Hashirama patted Uchiha Gen on the shoulder, flashing a bright and sunny smile.

Uchiha Gen remained rooted to the spot, hissed, and said, "It's so early in the morning, and you, the Hokage, aren't in your office. Instead, you're wandering around outside. Your leisure is truly enviable."

"Why are you looking for me instead of Madara Uchiha?"

Hearing this, Hashirama coughed twice, feeling somewhat uneasy. Recently, the two of them had a disagreement over the Hokage selection. Although it was Madara Uchiha's side, Hashirama felt a subconscious sense of guilt every time he faced Madara after that.
