Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Back to the present, during the pause in Uchiha Gen's speech, the vibration of his voice caused a large amount of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth, which looked extremely frightening.

However, in a less noticeable place, the blood flow at the broken neck of Uchiha Gen gradually slowed down—the wound was healing!

Reluctant to part with it?

"Oh……"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, Tobirama's mind was filled with all the "good deeds" of Uchiha Gen's son, if he remembered correctly: "Well, I'm really sorry, you were beheaded by the weakling you mentioned."

As he spoke, Tobirama remained vigilant, slashing his long sword down at the neck once more. Given Tobirama's personality, he wouldn't normally retaliate, but since his opponent was 'Uchiha Gen,' it was a different story, because every word this guy uttered when he was being sarcastic was delivered with sincerity!

Faced with the attack, the black Susanoo once again covered the area with lightning speed. In the struggle between the two, the long sword was directly shattered. This time, the skeleton formed by Susanoo curled up together and assumed a defensive posture.

"Hashirama!" Tobirama was somewhat annoyed and actually called out Hashirama's name directly.

Although Hashirama had just revealed a weakness in Gen Uchiha through questioning, opportunities in battle are fleeting, and time is so short. This moment of hesitation almost wasted a great advantage!

"But he isn't..." Hashirama was about to say that with such injuries, wouldn't Uchiha Gen also be unable to escape in time? Subconsciously, he didn't want to kill him, even if that was their goal.

Tobirama interrupted, "He has your cells in his body; he'll recover in time!"

Hashirama: "???"

Huh? What do you mean by having my cells?

"So, Tobirama, why does Gen Uchiha have my cells in his body?"

Tobirama: "..."

A sudden, inexplicable surge of irritation and guilt washed over him. Wait, what's going on here?! Tobirama rubbed his temples.

If this continues, it will drag on for too long and be pointless. Tobirama pondered, since the future is not an option, then the only option is to kill him in the past! He just wondered what that brat the notebook had them save knew.

"Get out of the way!"

The sound exploded like thunder, and Sasuke, who had appeared out of nowhere, shouted loudly.

As soon as the word "flash" was uttered, Tobirama vanished from the spot.

"Flying Thunder God Technique?" Gen Uchiha muttered to himself, looking at his empty hand, before turning his gaze back to Sasuke.

"So you're here. I'm a bit busy right now, but if you'd like..."

The hand was pressed against his face instantly. Sasuke's pupils contracted, and before he could react, the large hand had already pressed down on his head!

Hashirama: "Sasuke!!!"

Tobirama gritted his teeth: "Damn it!"

How could I have let my mind wander during the battle! An illusion, an illusion, another illusion!!! Damn it!!!

There was no time to think; their attacks came in an instant. However, this time, two spatial rifts suddenly tore open in front of them. Before they could retract their attacks, it was as if they had walked into a trap, as the spatial rifts swallowed them whole!

At the same time, Sasuke, one of Uchiha Gen's subordinates, also dissipated into a wisp of smoke. In just a few breaths, only Uchiha Gen remained standing in the same spot.

Uchiha Gen lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable. He casually wiped the blood from his mouth, the stain well concealed by his black clothes. He stood up, seemingly muttering to himself, "Gone with the heart?"

Despite seemingly being tricked, Gen Uchiha's mood wasn't as bad as he had expected.

If I remember correctly, shadow clones can bring back some memories...

"No, this is very interesting, isn't it?"

If you look closely, you'll see that the wound on Uchiha Gen's neck has healed to the point where only a deep line of blood remains. Uchiha Gen reaches out and gently wipes the wound, and the last bit of the wound disappears completely. Time freezes again around him. As he answers his own questions, Uchiha Gen leaves the spot like a wandering ghost.

……

On the other side of the spatial rift, three people fell out one after another.

"snort--"

Upon receiving the memories transmitted by the dissipating clone, Uchiha Sasuke let out a muffled groan, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees, panting heavily. At the same time, many incoherent and bizarre images flashed through his mind.

Upon seeing this, Tobirama didn't bother to ask any further questions. Green chakra appeared in his hand as he examined Sasuke's physical condition.

Hashirama: "How is it?"

"No physical wounds—is it a psychological issue?" Tobirama's face darkened. Remembering the hint in his notebook, so that's it after all…

"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while, don't worry about me," Sasuke said, trying to sound tough.

After an unknown amount of time, Sasuke's breathing gradually became even, and his emotions temporarily stabilized.

Seeing that Sasuke seemed to be alright, the two had no other options for the time being, so they tentatively began to explore their surroundings.

There were no villages nearby, and the trees were unusually sparse. A large group of people were gathered ahead, seemingly lingering there, and next to them was a stream that wasn't very clear.

Tobirama: "Kid, what were you thinking when you used the notebook?"

Sasuke stood up, shaking his head to clear his head: "I just wanted to find a safe place, anywhere would do. Also, my name is Sasuke."

It seems my self-awareness is fine...

As for what just happened, it was actually planned by Tobirama and Sasuke.

When the two sides are locked in a stalemate, or when the two are at a disadvantage, the plan is to use the notebook to send them away. Of course, the specific implementation depends on Sasuke's observation of the situation.

To be honest, Sasuke was surprised when the Second Hokage placed something so important in Sasuke's hands. After all, if he understood correctly, without this thing, they would most likely have been trapped here indefinitely.

Tobirama: "Did you ask anything?"

"That person, when you dumped him on me, he wasn't very old anymore."

"I asked the question you asked, and the answer was a bit fragmented, but what I can confirm is that what they were fighting over there was the Ten-Tails..."

"As for Uchiha Gen..."

As Sasuke delved deeper into his memories, his head began to throb again: "He doesn't know me..."

"That's all. The boulder crushed his internal organs, and without your chakra to keep him alive, he died not long after."

Tobirama suddenly asked, "How did you feel when he died beside you?"

Sasuke frowned: "What?"

Who are you?

The newcomer's voice was wary and inquisitive, interrupting their conversation as they both turned to look at the boy in front of them.

However, upon seeing that face, everyone's expressions froze instantly, and the atmosphere became extremely eerie. Tobirama wanted to kill someone, but Hashirama wouldn't let him. Sasuke's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. There was nothing he could do; the person in front of him looked about the same age as Sasuke, but that face belonged to Uchiha Gen. Having just escaped and then encountered him again, that omnipresent feeling was no different from seeing a ghost.

The younger version of Uchiha Gen, noticing the strange atmosphere, blinked as if to ease the awkwardness, and pointed at Sasuke, asking, "Is he going to die?"

Everyone: "..."

You know how to chat...
