Chapter 67: Casting the Net
Seeing this, Uchiha Gen seemed startled, suddenly jumping up and shrinking into the corner with a wary expression. However, because he was wrapped in white paper, he looked like a standing caterpillar.
The Human Realm said: "..."
I have to say, looking at my own face and jumping around like this, I'm really speechless, and I have an urge to erase this embarrassing history.
Seeing this, Konan couldn't help but smile. She rubbed her facial muscles to suppress the smile. To prevent this from happening again, she put away the white paper on Uchiha Gen.
"Since you've agreed to join Akatsuki, we need to examine your memories." The Human Path said coldly, watching Uchiha Gen loosen his joints.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Uzumaki Reikawa looked so much like him, and that Genjutsu also had a very strong Uzumaki clan member, he would have felt that something was amiss, and he wouldn't have bothered to investigate.
Confident in his own abilities, he decided to inform Uzumaki Reikawa before taking action. After all, Reikawa might become his future subordinate, which should lessen his reservations.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen paused for a moment, then said sarcastically, "So, you've also checked the memories of other members? As far as I know, no matter what method is used to check memories, it will inevitably cause damage to the brain, and there's even a high chance of turning someone into an idiot."
Human Dao had anticipated this kind of question, and when confronted with it, he simply replied calmly and condescendingly, "I haven't seen other people's memories, nor do I need them. Don't worry, the process of checking memories won't cause you any discomfort."
"..." He's too lazy to even explain? Just as Uchiha Gen was considering whether to flip the table.
The system interface, which had been inactive for a while, suddenly issued a notification: I can help you cover up your memories and let him investigate.
"...? When did you start treating me this well?" Uchiha Gen seriously doubted the system's purpose upon seeing this.
System screen: It has been detected that you have a 50% chance of being sealed and killed. You are bound to a fateful community; if you die, I will die too.
"...Now that I'm dead, why aren't you dead?"
System layout: ...The system is bound to the soul; when the soul disappears, the system dissipates.
You hit me...
System screen: I've compensated you.
You used my body to gouge people's eyes out.
System interface: ...Strictly speaking, that's not your body, and you can revoke the permissions you gave me.
"??? When did I give you that permission?"
Uchiha Gen was a little confused. Could it be that the so-called "I read and agreed" when entering the game?
However, when asked this question, the system did not respond. In the end, only a line of text appeared silently: "All the purposes are to help you revive, as a debt I owe you in my past life."
……
In reality, Uchiha Gen came to his senses and saw the Human Path reaching out to grab him. He frowned slightly, forcibly suppressing the urge to fight back, and decided to see what the system was trying to do.
But then, the Human Path's hand inexplicably stopped in front of Uchiha Gen.
From Nagato's perspective, however, he had already placed his hand on Gen Uchiha's head, using his inner potential to read his memories.
Xiao Nan, who was standing to the side, felt that something was off about their situation, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it and could only attribute it to her own overthinking.
After reading the memories, Nagato stood silently in place: "Byakko, find him some clothes."
"? Yes!" Looking at the appearance of the Human Path, Konan had a feeling that Nagato seemed to have seen something puzzling.
Nagato, meanwhile, was pondering why Reikawa Uzumaki's memories contained glimpses of her own childhood. Could it be...?
Sensing that Pain's tone wasn't as arrogant as before, Gen Uchiha was immediately puzzled. "So, System, what exactly did you show Nagato?"
System layout: Fragments of your memories about his childhood, and some memories from when you used the identity of Uzumaki Zero River.
"..." Goodness, Uchiha Gen suddenly realized that if he suddenly suspected he had multiple brothers, he would be completely bewildered.
……
At the bounty office, Ainz looked at the letter in his hand. It was left by Konoha. Hmm—could it be about dissatisfaction with the fees?
His gaze swept over the items: "Regarding commissions... and discussing cooperation... Hmm?" Then, Konoha actually suggested that Hyuga Kito come over for a discussion?
As for this, I can probably understand their thoughts. Originally, it wouldn't matter, but Hyuga Kito is currently on his way to find Orochimaru, and I don't know if he has any clues yet.
Just as the saying goes, "Speak of the devil and he appears," Bone Lord thought of this, but suddenly felt the message from Hyuga Kito breaking through his clone.
Hyuga Kito couldn't find Orochimaru, but Kabuto approached him and proposed a deal. The deal was that Kabuto wanted Ainz Ooal Gown to appear and cooperate with some experiments, and in return, Orochimaru would give him the data on the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
In fact, the so-called experimental cooperation was far less valuable than the Impure World Reincarnation itself. However, given that Akatsuki had issued a warrant for his arrest, Orochimaru was only thinking about forming a "good relationship".
When Bone-kun saw this, he raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he couldn't go to Konoha even if he wanted to. So he used the same method to send the message to Wood Man, and at the same time sent a message to Konoha to inform Gen Urobuchi that he had agreed to the proposal.
……
Meanwhile, after Uchiha Gen arrived at the agreed location, Itachi appeared behind him at some point and went straight to the point: "Senpai, are you one of Gen Urobuchi's people?"
"...Have you been waiting for me here lately?"
"Um."
"What about Kisame?"
"He went on a mission."
Upon hearing this, Gen Uchiha's lips twitched. He thought of Kisame happily going off to carry out a mission alone again, and he immediately felt sorry for Kisame for a second.
"Yes, because Genji seems to know some secrets." At this point, 'Uchiha Genji' gestured with his eyes, and Itachi used Tsukuyomi to communicate.
Seeing that the surrounding environment had turned red again, Uchiha Gen couldn't help but complain, "Is this the only color scheme for the Tsukuyomi space?"
Itachi was taken aback upon hearing this, having never considered this question before. He tentatively changed his color, and the surrounding colors returned to normal, but the moon in the sky remained eerily red.
"...That's all." 'Uchiha Gen' felt that Itachi had done his best, so after clearing his mind, he explained, "In short, the leader of Genjutsu seems to know who the person who altered the stone tablet is, but there is currently no way to capture them, and Genjutsu was founded to eliminate that person."
Upon hearing this, Itachi frowned and asked, "Is that guy very strong?"
Uchiha Gen shook his head and denied it, saying, "It's not strong. Judging from the leader's words, it should be relatively weak. The problem is that the guy is very difficult to capture. In order to avoid leaks, he has not told us who the guy is yet. And if we speculate based on what the leader said, it is likely that it orchestrated most of the wars in the ninja world."
