Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 121 The Severely Injured Clan Chief

"I was fairly confident, so I went."

Gen Uchiha stopped the medical ninjutsu he was performing on himself and explained to Tsunade.

"Are you confident? You succeeded?"

Tsunade looked Uchiha Gen up and down again, and then looked at the other facilities in the room.

A large wooden barrel filled with a pale green, viscous liquid, and the smell of medicine permeated the entire room.

This is the condition after the snake body modification.

Orochimaru also sought Tsunade's help to improve the prescription throughout the process, which resulted in its current effectiveness.

But these alone are not enough for Gen Uchiha to pass the test before the third door.

Even though she realized that Uchiha Gen had increased the dosage of the drug and enhanced the effect of the temporary modification, during the period when the snake body modification was at its most effective, she was still a few points weaker than Orochimaru.

The latter still relies on Orochimaru's substitution jutsu and requires thorough preparation to succeed, but Uchiha Gen—

"I succeeded by sheer luck. Now I can also use my psychic powers to open the third door."

Gen Uchiha grinned at Tsunade.

"You actually succeeded!"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised, but also seemed to be used to it.

When someone keeps creating miracles, people gradually get used to that person being able to do it.

In Konoha's history, only Hashirama Senju and Orochimaru were able to form a contract with the third gate, and Gen Uchiha was the third.

Although it is a remarkable achievement, he was ultimately a latecomer, and what he accomplished was simply what his predecessors had already done.

Tsunade stood up from the sofa and began to carefully examine the condition of Gen Uchiha.

"Using medical ninjutsu to stimulate the cells on the body surface, temporarily activating Yang Release cells, and continuously consuming a large amount of chakra to counteract the Yin Release chakra in the death aura, is a good idea."

After Tsunade finished her examination, she also determined what method Gen Uchiha had used.

She can use this method too, and she can use it even better than Uchiha Gen. Her chakra reserves are also much larger than those of ordinary ninjas, so she meets the requirements.

However, without the advanced snake body modification and the three-tomoe Sharingan capable of withstanding most Yin Release spiritual impacts, it would be quite difficult for her to survive until the third door.

Moreover, she has now found her own path and her own way of fighting. Even without Rashomon, she still has other means of defense, so this is not a necessity.

"Does Tsunade-sensei have any way to speed up my recovery from this condition?"

"This is not a normal injury. It is caused by the over-stimulation of the Yang Release in your body, which has depleted your internal energy. The external impact of the Yin Release has also disrupted the body's balance. Treatment will definitely require a focus on recuperation. The muscle damage and internal injuries caused by the shockwave have not affected the root cause, so they are not a major problem."

However, it is important to note that medical ninjutsu must be used with caution at this time. Your body has already undergone long-term stimulation by Yang Release, and using medical ninjutsu that primarily uses Yang Release may disrupt the body's Yin-Yang balance. Therefore, medical ninjutsu should not be used to treat internal injuries until you have recovered to a certain extent.

"I'll prescribe some medicine to regulate your body first. Use it for three days, and most of these symptoms should subside. Then you can use medical ninjutsu on yourself."

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade quickly wrote down the prescription and placed it in front of Uchiha Gen.

"Thank you very much, Tsunade-sensei."

"No need for thanks. Do you remember what I mentioned to you last time?"

"Is Tsunade-sensei referring to—the thing that led to the establishment of the medical system?"

"That's right. The Third Hokage should be returning to the village soon, and he will definitely hold the Jonin Conference. I plan to bring it up at this Jonin Conference."

Tsunade nodded slightly.

"The Third Hokage is back in the village? Has the situation on the Cloud Village front changed?"

"Uchiha Gen asked curiously."

"Um."

Tsunade nodded again.

"I received the news before I came here."

On the battlefield of the Land of Hot Springs, although the Third Raikage and Danzo defeated the army led by the Third Raikage on the main battlefield thanks to their intelligence advantage, they also suffered heavy losses.

Especially your Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Hisasu, who encountered the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Brubi, on the battlefield and was severely injured, his life hanging by a thread.

"The clan leader is seriously injured? His life hangs by a thread?"

Gen Uchiha raised an eyebrow slightly.

Will this cause turmoil within the family and have some unnecessary impact on him?

"His life should be saved, but there are no medical ninjas like you and me there to treat him in time. We'll have to wait until he returns to the village to see what the final outcome will be."

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy losses, almost to the point of mutual destruction. The Hidden Cloud Village adopted the same tactics as us in the Land of Rain, sending elite troops led by top experts on a long-distance raid to disrupt our logistics system.

Their leader is a newly emerged young master, rumored to be the Fourth Raikage, A, aged eighteen. He inherited the chakra armor of the Third Raikage and possesses incredible speed. Perhaps in a few years, he will become a powerful figure comparable to me and Orochimaru.

Fourth generation Ai?

This guy was already active during the Second Shinobi World War.

However, considering that he is five years older than me, it seems that he should be in the prime of his life as a ninja, having passed the golden age of strength growth and gradually climbing to the peak.

Since Tsunade said that he would become a Kage-level ninja in a few years, then the current Fourth Hokage, Edo, is probably also a top-tier ninja whose strength is close to that of a Kage.

"Both sides are severely injured; no wonder they can't continue."

"Fighting will definitely continue. As long as no victor is determined, this war will not end. The current ceasefire agreement is just a temporary one."

We still have the Third Kazekage and Sunagakure to deal with, as well as rebuilding our logistics system. We also need to resolve the friction between Kumogakure and Iwagakure to avoid being attacked from both sides.

Both sides simply wanted to use this opportunity to resolve any future problems and then settle the score.

It turned out to be the case.

Gen Uchiha nodded slowly.

"Can I participate in the Jonin Tournament?"

His current ninja rank is still Special Jonin.

Although his record would certainly qualify him for promotion to Jonin, it might not be enough if the Jonin Tournament starts early.

Jonin are the second-highest ninja rank in a ninja village, after the Kage. The promotion of each Jonin is a very important matter, with a complicated process that requires the Hokage's personal approval. In many cases, they also need to participate in several mission assessments to meet the hard requirements.

The indicator is proof that you truly possess the abilities of a Jonin—that is, the ability to lead a team in executing A-rank missions and participate in S-rank missions.

The ability to play a role in high-level tasks.

"Of course you'll participate. With your battle achievements, it would be unreasonable not to promote you to Jonin. You don't even need to take the corresponding S-rank mission assessment."
