Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 101 Was this a setup by Old Man Ban for me?

The surging swarm of snakes hissed and roared, and led by several large snakes, they blocked the advance of the Sand Village ninja.

They were naturally no match for these Sand Village ninjas, but their large numbers could slow down the enemy's advance.

In battles where they are outnumbered and being pursued, in addition to escaping, they also need to find ways to delay and divide the enemy, and not face too many enemies at the same time, so that they can have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

The group quickly traversed the rainy night, deliberately heading towards areas with complex terrain.

Reverse tracking, impromptu traps, and various other tricks and gadgets.

Escaping and saving one's life is Orochimaru's forte. While Uchiha Gen and the others may not claim to have fully mastered Orochimaru's skills, they have certainly learned some of them.

These clever tricks came one after another, leaving the rest of the team dumbfounded.

Is that really true?

But why are you so skilled?

"We haven't completely shaken them off yet. The enemy leader is still leading a seven-man squad, and another is following behind us."

Hyuga Hizashi glared at him and said loudly.

Still haven't shaken off its tail?

Gen Uchiha frowned slightly and turned to observe the surrounding terrain.

They were now in a forest, overgrown with thorns and with complex terrain, which was excellent terrain for hiding from pursuers; otherwise, they would not have plunged into this place.

"We have no eyes around us, how are they managing to follow us so closely?"

Maiko couldn't understand.

She and Hyuga Hizashi were in the same team after graduating as genin. Over the years, they had faced many dangerous situations, but they always managed to escape unscathed thanks to their Byakugan.

But this is the first time I've been bitten so tightly.

Could it be that the other side also has a top-tier sensory ninja in the ninja world?

"Hisashi, is there anything special about him?"

Uchiha Gen asked Hyuga Hizashi.

Judging from the current situation, the other side must have some unknown reconnaissance methods. If this continues, they will eventually be caught up and bogged down, and trapped in an encirclement again.

If they hadn't used the tricks Orochimaru taught them to buy themselves some time, they might have already been entangled by now.

In that case, you need to know how the other party did it in order to figure out how to deal with it.

However, they had too little information about the other side, so the only way to directly obtain relevant information was to roll their eyes and say, "Hmm, I'll observe for a while longer."

Hyuga Hina nodded in agreement and voluntarily popped a soldier's ration into his mouth.

The Byakugan also consumes chakra. As the main force for reconnaissance on this mission, he would keep the Byakugan open for a long time. In order to save chakra, he would turn the Byakugan on for a while and then off for a while.

The group of six sped up again and raced at full speed.

A moment later, Hyuga Hizashi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"I saw it! Their leader is suspicious! Every now and then he uses Earth Release to dive underground, and he also uses a strange ninjutsu to blend into the trees."

It seems that guy's perception ability is related to this, and once he enters it, he almost completely merges with the earth and trees. If I hadn't happened to witness this, I probably wouldn't have been able to detect him at all!

This was the first time in his life that he had ever seen a way to hide from disdain in this manner.

Hyuga Hizashi's expression was unpleasant, while Uchiha Gen's face had turned ashen.

What happened?

It can blend into the ground and trees, and its stealth ability is extremely high; it can even fool the white eyes of the enemy.

The only one in the ninja world with this ability is the White Zetsu.

Besides their mayfly-like skills, who else could do this?

Damn it, that old man Ban has his eye on us!

This is a trap that old bastard set for himself!

Hiruzen Sarutobi treated me like Obito Uchiha, and Madara Uchiha also treated himself like Obito Uchiha!

call----

calm.

Gen Uchiha took a deep breath, his brain racing.

Don't rush, calm down first.

I'm not that idiot Xian Er; I have a brain.

Madara is old. Otherwise, given his personality of being the most important person in the world and vying with me and Hashirama for third place, he would have already personally captured the nine tailed beasts and combined them into the Ten-Tails. Why would he need to go to such lengths to cultivate a successor and manipulate Nagato?

He can't take action himself!

All I need to deal with are these White Zetsu, who serve as the minions of the Spotted Ones!

"map!"

Uchiha Gen lagged behind, leaped to Hyuga Hizashi's side, and spoke.

The latter hurriedly handed over the map.

Konoha Village already had maps of the Land of Rain's terrain, but powerful enough ninjas, or those who formed a sizable ninja army, were capable of altering the terrain to some extent.

In addition to recording the deployment information of the various Sunagakure units, they will also update this geographical information on their trip.

"Here, let's leave the forest! Once we're out, we'll take the waterway directly to the large lake at the edge of the mountains and escape from there!"

The only things that can isolate the mayfly's magic are great rivers, lakes, and oceans.

The lake offers a wide view, but if you dive underwater and avoid the White Zetsu, you can swim a distance and escape their pursuit.

However, if they wanted to return to the camp, they would have to take a longer route.

"They're almost catching up!"

Hinata Hizashi said anxiously.

"I'll stay behind to cover your retreat; that should buy you time to escape."

Maiko suddenly spoke up.

Are you sure?

Uchiha Gen's eyes held a complex expression.

He actually wanted someone to cover the retreat, and the most suitable person to do so was Maiko. Before he could make up his mind, she took the initiative to suggest it.

Look at the identities of the others: Sarutobi Enjun, son of the Hokage; Choji, the next head of the Akimichi clan; Genji, a super genius of the Uchiha clan who appears only once every few decades; and Hyuga Hizashi, the second son of the Hyuga branch family's head.

Even Ruri Uzuki, despite coming from a small family, was still Orochimaru's disciple and the Hokage's direct disciple-grandson.

If any one of them were missing, it would be difficult to explain to Gen Uchiha.

Only she, Maiko, was truly of commoner origin.

The world has always been this cruel and cold.

Maiko smiled miserably.

Of course, she knew this principle.

Even Uchiha Gen felt it would be difficult to explain, so it's even more difficult for her.

Even the slightest impact would be a burden her family couldn't bear, and no matter how small the possibility, she wouldn't dare gamble on the character of those powerful figures.

Commoner ninjas are merely tools cultivated by the Konoha leadership to weaken the proportion of ninja clan power and consolidate their power and status.

If one has good aptitude and can grow into a Jonin, that would be considered defying fate and gaining some influence. Even extraordinary talents like Orochimaru and Minato Namikaze, if they encounter a powerful teacher and receive a sufficiently strong ninjutsu inheritance, might be able to aspire to the position of Hokage.

But everyone else is just cannon fodder.
