Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 128 Fugaku's Request

That afternoon, Uchiha Gen unusually did not train. Instead, after eating ramen, he went to a hot spring, found a massage parlor to relax, and then strolled around the shopping street, trying out the three-color dumplings.

Since arriving in this world, although he has occasionally indulged himself, he has never done anything like this before, specifically setting aside most of the day, and even encountering his former homeroom teacher from the Ninja Academy, Mona, on the road.

Over a year has passed, and the dynamics between the two have undergone a dramatic shift.

Mengna is still the Chunin teacher, while Uchiha Gen is already the youngest Special Jonin in Konoha, and it won't be long before he becomes a real Jonin.

Moreover, at the age of less than fourteen, he broke the record left by the legendary Sannin and became the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history.

At Mona's invitation, Uchiha Gen also made a last-minute trip to the Ninja Academy to give a public lecture to the senior ninja students.

The next morning, Uchiha Gen woke up from his sleep and couldn't help but feel grateful that he had gotten a good rest the day before.

Because if he hadn't rested yesterday, he really wouldn't have had the chance.

Early in the morning, several members of the Uchiha clan knocked on his door.

"Yuan! You must do this to save Father!"

As soon as the door was opened, Fugaku Uchiha anxiously grabbed Gen's arm.

"Is it the clan leader's injury?"

"Yes, Father's condition continued to deteriorate on the way back. I heard that your medical ninjutsu is very powerful, and you saved many ninjas who were destined to die in the Land of Rain. If anyone can save him, it's you!"

Gen Uchiha slightly raised his eyes and looked at Fugaku.

"Did you go and ask Tsunade-sensei for help?"

The latter shook his head.

"My father—he has some reservations about the Senju clan. It has been quite an achievement for him to maintain peace with the Senju clan on the surface all these years. If he were to ask a Senju to heal him and save his life, I'm afraid—"

"Even at a time like this, you're still worrying about the feud between the Senju and Uchiha clans."

Upon hearing this, Gen Uchiha couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Another old Uchiha who hasn't even left the Warring States period.

"I'll go get a first-aid kit and leave right away."

"Alright, Yuan, just tell me what you need, and the whole family will definitely meet your needs!"

A few minutes later, escorted by Fugaku and several police officers, Gen Uchiha arrived at the clan head's residence for the first time.

Compared to the Grand Elder's place, this place is much larger and more grand and exquisite, showcasing the heritage of the Uchiha clan as a noble family with a thousand-year history.

However, the patriarch of this long-established wealthy family was now lying on the bed, barely breathing, with his eyes closed, looking as if he was about to die.

"The main wounds are in the chest and lower back. Although they were treated with medication quickly, without the timely treatment of a medical ninja, it will be much more difficult to heal the internal injuries now. I need to perform surgery to reposition and repair the internal organs, and then long-term conditioning will be needed to recover to a certain extent."

Uchiha Gen sat on the edge of the bed, withdrawing his senses.

"It's good that there's hope."

Fugaku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Even the Grand Elder, who was watching with bated breath, relaxed for a moment.

It's good that there's hope.

Even though this clan leader is far inferior to the previous clan leaders such as Ban, he is at least capable of maintaining the clan's internal situation on the surface and suppressing the open conflicts. Once the clan leader is gone, those suppressed conflicts will re-emerge.

What's even more troublesome is that the stronger young Uchiha who have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan will definitely vie for the position of clan leader, amplifying the internal strife within the clan and causing turmoil.

If the Uchiha clan leader, Hisasu, were still alive, these situations could be avoided.

"But I haven't finished speaking yet."

Uchiha Gen continued, "Saving his life isn't difficult, it's just troublesome. But the Kusu clan chief's injuries aren't just in his chest and abdomen; the ones on his waist and back are the most troublesome."

During the battle, this part of the clan leader must have been severely struck by the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, causing the end of the spine to be crushed and the spinal cord to be severed, preventing the spine from transmitting nerve signals to the lower limbs.

In other words, this injury will cause the clan leader to be paralyzed from the waist down, and he will lose not only the ability to continue being a ninja, but also the ability to take care of himself.

Fugaku's expression immediately changed.

This outcome is better than death, but it's still not what he wanted.

If those clansmen who covet the position of clan chief knew this, they would surely be restless.

Internal turmoil within the clan seems inevitable.

How could a paralyzed man, unable to be a ninja, possibly secure his position as the head of the most powerful clan in the ninja world, even if he was once quite strong and had some prestige?

"Is it incurable?"

Fugaku Uchiha asked with a hint of hope in his eyes.

Tsunade has performed countless miracles on the operating table, and now she hopes that Gen Uchiha can do the same.

The latter simply shook his head indifferently, but when he spoke, he gave Fugaku a glimmer of hope.

"Current medical ninjutsu has not developed to the point where it can heal this kind of injury. However, theoretically, a technique envisioned by Tsunade-sensei that requires multiple high-ranking medical ninjas to work together can heal it."

Although the old patriarch's injury was difficult to treat, it was only a section of the end of his spine that was shattered, and the actual area that needed repair was not particularly large. There was a good chance of healing him using the regeneration technique.

Fugaku Uchiha hesitated, then asked, "Should we go and ask Lady Tsunade for help?"

"We can give it a try. Tsunade-sensei may have other methods, but this technique requires several high-level medical ninjas, and neither Biwako-sama nor I know it yet. Even if we did, it would be difficult for the three of us to successfully perform this technique."

A cure is not something that can be achieved in the short term. At the very least, the village needs to agree to implement medical ninjutsu and train several new high-level medical ninjas before there is any real possibility of a cure.

Well, there's no hope for that either.

Training new high-level medical ninjas, especially those who have mastered the art of healing and regeneration, will take forever.

"Let's keep this matter a secret for now. Once the clan leader regains consciousness, he can make an appearance to reassure the people and buy some time to make arrangements for the future."

The elder, who had been leaning on his cane and standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

Uchiha Hisasu will not be able to hold onto his position as clan leader in the future, but only three people present knew that he was paralyzed from the waist down.

By concealing part of the truth and giving the impression that there is hope for recovery, the situation can be kept stable until others realize the truth.

"That's all we can do, Gen. I'll have to entrust my father's injuries to you. If you ever need anything from now on, Fugaku will certainly not fail me."

Fugaku Uchiha spoke with a sincere expression and a formal tone.
