Let's talk about Chapter 68?
"!!"
Upon hearing this, Itachi frowned, deep in thought. "Why are you risking exposure to tell me this? Akatsuki has recently issued a kill order against you; you should know that, right?"
However, the next moment, Itachi looked at 'Uchiha Gen' as if he had just realized it, with an expression of "I see".
"..." Well, this guy is really carefree.
Uchiha Gen shrugged and said, "Anyway, you're not on their side, and my guess was confirmed by Gen Urobuchi. Since Uchiha Obito has already believed the contents of the stone tablet and decided to implement the Eye of the Moon Plan, I think that guy should be inside your Akatsuki organization."
Hmm—Itachi has actually thought about this possibility, but he hasn't come up with a candidate yet. Perhaps he has never appeared in Akatsuki, but is just hiding within Akatsuki.
Thinking of this, Itachi suddenly remembered the white-faced mask that 'Uchiha Gen' had given him before: "So, senior, you had already joined Genzo before joining Akatsuki?"
However, upon hearing this, 'Uchiha Gen' shook his head and denied it, saying that he hadn't even started working on this thing yet at that time: "Before joining Akatsuki, I didn't know about the existence of Gen Urobuchi. I think the reason you asked this question is because you saw that they were all wearing white face masks, but in fact, this mask was a gift I gave them after I joined. The leader thought it looked good and made them all wear it."
"..." Itachi inexplicably thought of the scene of Genjutsu members lining up to receive their masks... and a strong image immediately came to mind—it was quite in line with the style of the Uchiha Genjutsu.
Upon hearing this, Itachi suddenly noticed a problem: "So, you've seen their true faces? Do you know where these ninjas come from?"
"I've seen them, but I don't recognize any of them."
"..."
Seeing Itachi's speechless expression, 'Uchiha Gen' coughed twice. "However, I know their names: Kito, Honekumi, Kagami, and Reikawa."
Upon hearing the last name, Itachi frowned. "These are all real names?"
"Hmm, I'm not sure, but that's what they said. You can investigate who tampered with the stone tablet yourself, but I hope you don't alert them. The main reason I told you this is because the leader has his eye on your sealing ability, the Ten-Fist Sword!"
"!" Itachi's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing this. He had never used the Totsuka Blade since he obtained it. How did Gen Utsuki know this? But did this also confirm that what 'Uchiha Gen' said was true?
Slowly exhaling, Itachi didn't deny it, but nodded and said, "Okay, but recently the Akatsuki has a new member, I think his name is Uzumaki Reikawa. Is this the same person as the Reikawa you mentioned?"
"...If nothing unexpected happens, it should be, but it looks like he was betrayed by his teammates immediately after being captured."
"...Sold out???"
"Well, mainly because he likes to stay in Konoha and hasn't carried out a mission in a long time, so the organization members have a lot of resentment towards him."
"Is this even allowed?" Itachi's lips twitched slightly. The organization was poorly managed and its members were willful. If it weren't for the fact that they knew many secrets and were strong enough, this organization would be a complete joke.
At this point, Uchiha Gen seemed to suddenly remember something: "However... if that's the case, you can observe his actions afterward. Although Genju is loosely managed, at least everyone has absolute loyalty."
"...Loyal to betray his teammates?"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen was taken aback, then suddenly said in a low voice, "Itachi, you've changed."
"?"
"You actually made fun of me."
"..."
Only a moment had passed in the outside world after they emerged from the Tsukuyomi space, and just as the two were about to leave after exchanging glances.
The space above them suddenly began to distort, along with the surrounding scenery. The next moment, a hedgehog-headed figure wearing an orange vortex mask appeared in front of the two.
He made a cool entrance, but his opening line was: "Little brother! Little brother! Where have you been lately? Come back with me right now, or the leader will be angry and issue a kill order against you!"
As he spoke, he reached out to pull 'Uchiha Gen', but just as his hand was about to touch him, 'Uchiha Gen' dodged him with a quick movement.
Upon seeing this, Obito's expression beneath his mask turned slightly cold. "Hmph! Not pretending anymore?"
"But senior, as far as I know, I'm already being hunted down. It's better not to go back and face the leader's wrath," 'Uchiha Gen' said, seemingly helplessly, but his eyes were constantly watching Obito's movements.
If you get caught, you'll be thrown directly into the Kamui dimension, and whether you can get out again depends on Obito's mood.
Although this was just a clone, Gen Uchiha did not want Obito to know the special nature of his clone or his own abilities, as this would affect his later actions.
However, Obito temporarily ignored Uchiha Gen and suddenly turned to ask, "Itachi, why are you here?"
Itachi remained calm in the face of the sudden questioning, his expression impassive, his voice as if stating a fact: "I was just resting and happened to run into him. Do you need my help to catch him?"
Upon hearing this, Obito gave Itachi a deep look and slowly said, "No need."
Hearing this, the ignored 'Uchiha Gen' raised his hand and asked, "Since none of you are going to arrest me, may I leave now?"
The sneak attack failed, and Obito, thinking of how easily 'Uchiha Gen' could pilot a Gundam, didn't want to confront him at this moment: "Uchiha Gen, what is your purpose?"
"Hmm... As I said before, my goal is the same as yours: peace in the ninja world. But I think Genju is more right than you are. What is false is always false. If you take falsehood as reality, then the person whose reality is replaced is really pathetic."
"..." Obito was momentarily dazed upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure, a mocking smile playing on his lips. False? Then what is reality? This world is filled with hatred, pain, and death; it's utterly hopeless!
After saying this, 'Uchiha Gen' ignored Obito's feelings and simply ran away.
After all, unless it is proven that the Eye of the Moon project is a scam, it is impossible to reason with such a fanatical person. Of course, you can first subdue them by force and then reason with them.
The problem is, even if this clone could defeat Obito, what then? It would only alert Black Zetsu and allow him to remain dormant for a few more generations.
Black Zetsu would only risk taking a gamble if the Eye of the Moon project was just a hair's breadth away from completion.
Watching Uchiha Gen leave, Obito didn't stop him. Instead, he turned to Uchiha Itachi and said, "I think perhaps we can talk? If I remember correctly, Uchiha Gen gave you a white-faced mask, right?"
