Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 130 The Birth of the Youngest Jonin in Konoha's History

"Um—Elder, you just said, um—Sister Mikoto, she—"

On the way back, Uchiha Gen hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Oh."

"

The elder glanced at Uchiha Gen and scoffed coldly.

"This is just an excuse to get you out of here. Otherwise, believe me, you'd be stuck with these people from now on."

"I see, that makes sense."

Uchiha Gen nodded knowingly.

He's in high demand now.

Within the Uchiha clan today, he is an absolute top-tier fighter, and he also possesses a powerful medical ninjutsu that is equally top-tier and unique within the clan, one of only three in Konoha.

With these qualities alone, he was on par with those influential figures in the clan. The only difference between him and elders was the lack of experience and prestige that came with time.

Not to mention he is still very young, representing not only the present but also the future.

Despite this, Uchiha Gen still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

To be honest, he still has a strong liking for beautiful older women like Mikoto.

Until a pretty figure appeared at the intersection not far ahead.

"Grandfather, you're back? And Yuan, did you miss me? I've heard a lot of people in the clan talking about your great achievements lately."

Uchiha Mikoto stood in the sunlight and smiled gently at the two of them.

Beneath her dark green high ponytail, her two eyes gently curved into crescent moons.

His light blue combat uniform, which he hadn't yet changed out of, added to his dashing appearance, and his two long, white, python-like legs gleamed like jade in the sunlight, making them incredibly alluring.

The girl's naivety and the older woman's gentle wisdom blended perfectly at this moment.

"Of course I'm thinking about it, Mikoto-nee. I was just talking about you with the Grand Elder on the way here."

Gen Uchiha grinned at Mikoto.

The elder watched the interaction between the young boy and girl expressionlessly, then turned his head away.

Gen Uchiha was highly sought after, but his granddaughter was just as popular.

The only daughter of the Grand Elder is not only beautiful, but also possesses top-notch ninja talent and ability. Which family in the clan wouldn't be envious of her?

If they actually succeed, wouldn't that mean they could inherit the wealth and political capital that the Grand Elder had accumulated throughout his life?

In the past, when Mikoto Uchiha was still young, he had a reason to refuse, but now that Mikoto is over 28 and increasingly outstanding, there are many things he can no longer refuse.

He was over seventy years old and his body was covered with hidden injuries from battles when he was young. He didn't have many years left to live and couldn't protect Uchiha Mikoto forever. He could only try his best to find a powerful enough successor to protect his granddaughter while he was still alive.

"Let's wait two more years and see."

This kid is still too young.

That noon, shortly after Uchiha Gen stayed at the Elder's house for dinner, he received another notification from the Anbu.

He has to go to the Hokage Building.

The clan head and the Third Hokage were among the group that withdrew from the front lines.

While he was treating the Kusu clan chief's injuries at the clan chief's residence in the morning, the Third Hokage was also handling some matters after returning to Konoha. It wasn't until the handover was completed that he had time to summon Uchiha Gen.

If he's not mistaken, this should be about his promotion to Jonin.

A few minutes later.

Inside the Hokage's office.

"Third Hokage, Gen Uchiha has been brought here."

"Let him in."

A strong, resonant voice echoed inside the room.

As soon as Uchiha Gen pushed open the door, he smelled a strong odor of smoke.

The Third Hokage stood with one hand behind his back, his back to the door, facing the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a pipe, gazing at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

"Sandaime-sama."

Uchiha Gen walked to the desk and spoke.

"Um."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then turned to look at Gen Uchiha, his eyes showing a hint of weariness.

His battles with the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Hot Water were evenly matched, and his individual performance was quite commendable, but he failed to gain much advantage over the enemy in the overall situation.

If Orochimaru hadn't led his team to several brilliant victories on the battlefield in the Land of Rain, turning the tide of the war and greatly relieving the pressure on Konoha, he would probably still be in a terrible predicament right now.

Now that Sunagakure has been forced to retreat in the Land of Rain and the threat to its territory in the northwest of the Land of Fire has been eliminated, Kumogakure says, "Although I had long anticipated that you would one day become a pillar of the village, just like Kagami, I did not expect you to grow up so quickly."

"It was all thanks to the guidance of the Third Hokage and Orochimaru-sensei, as well as Jiraiya-sensei, Tsunade-sensei, and the elders in my clan that I received a lot of help."

Uchiha Gen said sincerely.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, along with the elder Uchiha Gen, were all key figures who played crucial roles in his journey.

Yes, the Third Hokage was also indispensable. Without his guidance, I wouldn't have become Orochimaru's disciple and wouldn't have been able to come into contact with the Sannin.

Of course, the main reason he was able to grow so quickly was the various bonuses provided by the system.

Otherwise, with his talent, even with such training resources, without any extraordinary fortuitous encounter, he wouldn't be much better off than Sarutobi Enjun right now, still struggling to prepare for the Nature Transformation of ninjutsu in order to be promoted to Special Jonin.

To possess such combat power before reaching adulthood is already an extraordinary realization of one's talent.

"I didn't give you much guidance."

The Third Hokage shook his head.

He knew his own situation and understood that Uchiha Gen was just being flattering.

Fortunately, Uchiha Gen was trained by Orochimaru, and his Will of Fire was recognized by Uzumaki Mito, indicating that, like Uchiha Kagami, his mind could be controlled.

Otherwise, he would be absolutely uneasy about letting such a young Uchiha rise to power so quickly.

If a second Uchiha like Madara, ambitious and capable of vying for the Hokage position, were to emerge, he would have to find a way to eliminate him now.

The Third Hokage is now increasingly grateful for his foresight.

"Your achievements today are due to the contributions of your teachers and colleagues, as well as your own efforts. I haven't played a significant role, but I can still be considered a witness to your success."

With a sigh, the Third Hokage took a new certificate from the table and handed it to Uchiha Gen.

The latter had an idea and opened the certificate.

Below Uchiha Gen's ID photo and ninja number, the words "Jonin" are clearly visible in the ninja world rank column.

"From this moment on, you are a Jonin, enjoying all the benefits of a Jonin, the right to participate in the Jonin Conference, the right to vote in the Hokage's trust vote, the right to apply to speak directly with the Hokage's office, and the qualification to serve as a key leader in various departments."

The Third Hokage walked up to Uchiha Gen, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him an encouraging smile.

"Congratulations, the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history."
