Konoha: Resurrected by Orochimaru at the start

Chapter 58 Accident

After everything was arranged, Uchiha Gen said to Sasuke, "When you see the Akatsuki members, don't get excited. You can't participate in this battle. If you want to ask anything, you can ask after we capture them."

Sasuke frowned and sneered, "You're the idiot, don't think of me as an idiot."

"...I hope so." Uchiha Gen replied dismissively, his expression completely distrustful.

Sasuke "..."

"By the way, Zhiwei, may I call you that?"

"Please go ahead."

"Hmm... there's not much to say, just stay the way you are."

"..." Ayumi Shiki's lips twitched slightly. This kid, he seemed to think he was the leader. Suddenly, she saw Maki next to her who was doing nothing. She thought that this guy couldn't even do anything, and she felt much more relieved.

"???" Maki looked around in confusion, feeling like someone was watching him.

With Konoha providing such dedicated assistance, it would be inexcusable for Sunagakure not to respond. Granny Chiyo slowly emerged, her expression smiling and radiating kindness. She spoke in a very slow voice, "I hope the information you two young men have is accurate. My old bones are too worn out to withstand any more turmoil..."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen and Aburame Shiki bowed to him and nodded earnestly.

……

"Art is an explosion!"

Deidara stood on the clay giant bird in the sky, and with a quick reach into his sleeves, a large number of C1 clay spiders landed on the buildings of Sunagakure.

"drink!"

The next moment, a series of "Boom!!" sounds rang out, creating an explosion in Sunagakure. The residents below fled in panic, their cries echoing throughout the village. Deidara was trying to use this to lure Gaara out.

However, instead of Gaara, a red-haired man and a person wearing sunglasses suddenly appeared. They were wearing Konoha headbands, even though they were in Sunagakure.

Upon seeing this, Deidara's expression immediately fell. "Hey! What are you Konoha ninjas doing here? Aren't you going to release the One-Tailed Beast? You can't stop me like this."

However, after speaking, Deidara saw that the people below completely ignored his words. Not only that, but suddenly several golden chains and a swarm of black insects appeared and attacked his location.

Deidara was startled upon seeing this. He placed his hand on the clay bird and controlled it to move to the side, dodging the attack. However, he was also somewhat annoyed. "Don't you guys listen to me?! You're so annoying!!"

As Deidara spoke, he dodged the attacks of the chains while holding something in his hand. Since they couldn't find a Jinchuriki, they might as well just blow up the Sand Village and see where the One-Tailed Beast could hide.

However, during the spell, a bug suddenly landed on Deidara's hand. Deidara frowned slightly and swatted the bug away, but the next moment, even more black bugs flew onto the clay giant bird. He felt as if these bugs were devouring his chakra.

Deidara gritted his teeth and had no choice but to interrupt the spell, creating another giant bird which he then jumped onto.

"Drink!" The giant bird, now devoured by the insects, exploded, killing all the insects on it. Golden chains, however, attacked him again through the explosion.

Just then, Sasori suddenly sent a message: "Stop playing around, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki has run away from behind."

From the very beginning, Sasori had been observing the surrounding movements, but unexpectedly, they chose to let the Jinchuriki escape.

However… Sasori pondered as he looked at the strength displayed by Uzumaki Reikawa, recalling the ability Kakuzu had described earlier. If that was all there was to it, it seemed this red-haired guy wasn't that person.

Upon hearing this, Deidara took a deep breath and dodged the attack again, but ultimately failed to conjure the C3 bomb. The main reason was that this kind of bomb consumed a considerable amount of chakra, and he still hadn't seen the Jinchuriki.

Uzumaki Reikawa watched Deidara ride the giant bird away at high speed, and then chased after him with Aburame Shiki. Sasuke also wanted to follow and see what was happening, but if he were discovered, he would be a burden and might slow them down. Thinking of this, Sasuke hesitated and ultimately stayed behind.

Uchiha Gen's plan was actually quite simple: first, have the real Gaara pretend to escape to lure them away, while Uzumaki Reikawa and Aburame Shiki would protect Sunagakure and prevent it from being taken hostage.

Gaara lured them away, and after they reached a certain distance, he pretended to lose control and unleashed the One-Tailed Chakra. Taking advantage of the chakra chaos, he swapped positions with Uchiha Gen, who had used the Transformation Technique to transform into Gaara.

Uchiha Gen used the One-Tailed Beast's chakra to disguise himself and feign defeat. Since Deidara, who possessed the giant bird, was obviously more convenient in terms of transportation, it was highly likely that Deidara approached Gaara.

If all goes well, once Deidara gets close, Genji Uchiha will be able to use his intelligence advantage to suddenly unleash the Adamantine Sealing Chains and defeat Deidara.

The main reason is that because of his identity as Uzumaki Reikawa, he cannot use Susanoo, while Deidara has the advantage in the air, and Aburame Shiki's insects are also easily spotted in the sky.

Since Uchiha Gen can't fly or use Lightning Release, he can only be beaten on the ground. Even if his chains can reach Deidara, he is extremely easy to kite with his bombs.

As for Sasori, he'll leave it to Granny Chiyo, who's been lying in wait, to hold him off for now. Once he's dealt with Deidara, things will be pretty much settled.

However, Konan, who was outside the Uchiha Gen Project, also arrived in the Land of Wind at this time.

Looking at the surrounding yellow sand, and remembering that Sasori and his crew were also here to capture the One-Tailed Beast, Konan decided to observe first. The paper wings on her back gradually dissipated. They were not far from the Sand Village. If they flew in the sky any longer, they would be easily exposed. Although she was not afraid, it was better to avoid trouble.

After walking for a while, they saw what appeared to be an explosion ahead. At the same time, several figures chased after them. Xiao Nan remained calm, contemplating whether to intervene, when she suddenly noticed a flash of red: Was that him?

Just as Gaara successfully unleashed his chakra as planned and swapped positions with Gen Uchiha, Gaara, enveloped in the One-Tailed Beast's chakra, collapsed to the ground, and the tailed beast's chakra gradually dissipated.

Meanwhile, the clone and Shiki Aburame confronted Scorpion.

Just as Deidara was about to approach Gaara, Konan suddenly stepped out from the side, drawing everyone's attention. Ignoring these gazes, Konan looked at Reikawa Uzumaki and slowly asked, "Your name is... Reikawa Uzumaki?"

Due to the unexpected situation, Gaara did not use the Kongo Lock to bind Deidara as originally planned, but instead allowed Deidara to throw him onto the giant bird.

Gen Uchiha feigned death on the giant bird, but his heart sank completely. He had only captured the One-Tailed Beast, so why was Konan here? And if Konan was here, then there was a high probability that Pain would be here as well.

Although the Impure World Body is not afraid of damage, it can be countered by the black rods of Yin-Yang Release, which makes things a bit troublesome.
