Life of Genno

In the Past


Genno was the sole survivor of his village's destruction. After many years, he came to the Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha, as a carpenter, working for a woman named Kanna. His plan was to infiltrate Konoha and use his trap-making skills to harm the village. Genno stole blueprints of Konoha's fort structure to enhance his traps.



Meanwhile, Konoha faced the threat of invasion from a neighboring country. At first, Genno wanted to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village. But as he observed Naruto and the young ninjas' determination, he changed his heart. He decided to challenge them with his trap-making skills.



Genno misled everyone by pretending to die skillfully and planting explosive tags throughout the village. This created confusion and excitement among the young ninjas. Sakura, Hinata, and Ino discovered that Genno was still alive. He then moved into the final phase of his mission. Genno had a bird scatter the stolen blueprints all over the village while he planted more explosive tags on Hokage Mountain.



Naruto encountered Genno at Hokage Mountain, where Genno revealed his plan to bury the village by blowing up the plateau. The showdown began. Genno skillfully dodged Kiba and Akamaru's attack and used a trick to escape Shino's insect attack. He even used a summoning jutsu to summon a giant bird to aid his battle.



Rock Lee attempted to subdue Genno, but Genno proved to be a formidable opponent, matching Lee's taijutsu skills. In the final part of his plan, Genno revealed that he had placed explosive tags on the Third Hokage's face as a trigger for the explosion, making it a critical situation.



After a tough battle, Naruto and Choji defeated the giant bird. Genno's body couldn't take any more strain and died from old injuries. Before his death, he admitted that he didn't seek revenge but had enjoyed the challenge.


Shikamaru later explained to the Hokage that Genno initially intended to blow up the village. However, after meeting Naruto, he deactivated all the bombs and turned his plan into a treasure hunt, inspired by his own son and Naruto's determination.
