Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 146 Green Snake

Orochimaru has always been considered an extremely difficult opponent to deal with, as slippery as an eel. In fact, Uchiha Gen, who has mastered the Phantom Body Flicker Technique, is now also showing a tendency to develop in that direction.

If you ask him to defeat those Kage-level powerhouses, he might lack the means to truly contend with them, but when it comes to maneuvering or escaping, he's a shameless rascal.

With seven or eight phantom clones appearing, and the user able to move at high speed within them flawlessly using illusion techniques, most Kage-level powerhouses would find it impossible to catch them even if they wanted to.

Even now, when a group of phantom clones are destroyed by Orochimaru's concentrated firepower, Uchiha Gen can still reassemble and continue to wear down Orochimaru.

In the end, it all comes down to attrition.

He could keep going like this until his pupil power gave out, and eventually he would find a chance to escape unscathed.

As the waning moon faded, the faint light of dawn pierced the sky and through the dense forest, illuminating Uchiha Gen's face.

Amidst the lush grass, snake corpses lay scattered on the ground, some charred by lightning and fire, others cleaved into pieces by wind blades and swords.

The stench of blood filled the air, and the fierce insects and beasts that usually roamed the forest dared not show themselves because of the fierce battle that night.

"Orochimaru-sensei, how is it?"

Gen Uchiha grinned as he looked at Orochimaru, whose clothes were stained with blood, not far away.

He entangled with Orochimaru for an entire night, during which there was never a direct confrontation; he simply dragged things out.

If the battlefield hadn't been confined to this death forest, Uchiha Gen would have had two opportunities to escape Orochimaru's pursuit.

"Not bad, you surprise me. When you're focused on running away, unless you're a super-fast ninja like the Second Hokage, no one should be able to keep up with you."

Orochimaru's tone was tinged with amazement and admiration.

With his survival skills, Uchiha Gen would be hard-pressed to find anyone in the entire ninja world who could kill him if he was careful enough.

In terms of strength, he has already reached the threshold of the top tier in the ninja world.

Even if they are at the bottom of the list, they are undoubtedly among the top ninjas in the world, and are worthy of standing on the same level as the most powerful beings.

"A lightning-fast ninja—"

Gen Uchiha nodded thoughtfully.

If you're fast enough, it seems like you might actually be able to catch up with him.

However, if we look closely at the ninja world today, there are very few ninjas with super speed.

Sakumo Hatake could be considered a super-speed ninja, but not one who could maintain high-speed movement for a long time like the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, since he was a fellow ninja from Konoha, the two sides wouldn't necessarily end up fighting each other.

Besides him, another one should be the recently emerging fourth-generation Ai.

Compared to Sakumo Hatake, the Fourth Hokage A is a typical speed ninja who doesn't rely on space-time ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God Technique, but rather on pure numerical stats.

In terms of strength, he should be in the same category as me, close to the Kage level, but in terms of abilities, the two of us are somewhat mutually restraining.

"I don't need to remind you which ninjas in the ninja world are incredibly fast, but you still need to be careful. Ninjas have all sorts of secret techniques and bloodline limits, and their schemes and plots are endless. Just because you know the Phantom Body Flicker Technique and have reached that level of strength doesn't mean you can rest easy."

Otherwise, Uchiha Kagami wouldn't have disappeared so mysteriously back then.

Orochimaru turned around and looked at the rising sun, his tone indifferent.

Unbeknownst to many, Uchiha Gen had already reached this point so quickly.

As his teacher, he no longer needed to worry about anything. On the contrary, he could rely on this disciple, who was already approaching the pinnacle of the ninja world, to provide support in many ways.

"I understand, Orochimaru-sensei."

Gen Uchiha nodded to Orochimaru.

"Then I won't say any more. Keep this scroll safe. It won't be long before we head to the Cloud Hidden Battlefield. It would be good to increase our strength even a little bit."

With the scroll in hand, Orochimaru waved at Uchiha Gen and then turned to leave.

The latter watched Orochimaru leave, stood there for a moment, carefully reviewed the battle that night, and then disappeared from the spot.

The battle with the Hidden Cloud Village is about to begin again, and the supplies that need to be prepared must be prepared again.

Orochimaru's meeting with the Grand Elder also requires facilitating connections between the two, and he himself needs to discuss clan arrangements with the Grand Elder.

He has already reached the strength of a top-tier ninja in the ninja world, enough to suppress all discontent within the clan.

Ultimately, the Uchiha clan is all about strength.

Some things can already be started.

As it happens, the situation on the clan chief's side has gradually aroused suspicion among some people in the clan, and it is likely that it will not be able to drag on for too long.

The following afternoon, in Yongji Cave.

Within a pool of water, the waves churned and surged, resembling a dragon turning over. Occasionally, the enormous body of a serpent and clones of Uchiha Gen could be seen appearing amidst the spray.

Not long after.

The two separate entities become one.

Uchiha Gen used chakra to press his feet onto the water's surface, and the three tomoe in his eyes slowly rotated as he looked at the large head bowed before him.

"Now, can we sign a psychic contract?"

"The Green Serpent is willing to obey your will, my lord."

Its rounded snake head drooped, and its two green pupils, larger than a human's, were filled with reverence.

This is a large, bluish-gray snake that is over seventy meters long and nearly four meters thick. It was the summoning beast that Sasuke used to withstand Deidara's self-destruction and die in the original timeline.

Based on this, it can be basically determined that the Blue Snake is the second most powerful giant snake in Orochimaru's summoning snake system, second only to Manda.

This is also a giant serpent located at the top of the food chain in Ryuchi Cave. Although its strength is slightly inferior to that of Manda, it is still quite formidable.

Moreover, compared to the unruly Wanshe, who readily demands a large number of people as sacrifices, the Qingshe is more gentle and more loyal and reliable.

"My name is Uchiha Gen, and I am Orochimaru's disciple."

Seeing the Blue Snake's attitude, Uchiha Gen responded.

"Yes, Lord Gen."

"Um.

"Uchiha Gen extended his finger and bit it, dripping a drop of blood onto the blue snake's forehead."

He previously used the contract between himself and the snakes in Ryuchi Cave to summon a large number of snakes at once.

The fact that this drop of blood fell signifies that he had directly signed a contract with the Green Serpent, which is more reliable, saves more chakra, and offers greater control compared to a contract made through Ryuchi Cave as a transit point.

The Green Snake can proactively request to reverse summon Uchiha Gen, and if the latter does not wish to accept, he can directly refuse.

Conversely, when Gen Uchiha summons the Green Snake, if the latter refuses, he can forcefully summon the Green Snake with less chakra, without even giving the latter time to react.

The original Sasuke was able to trick Manda in this way by using this kind of summoning.
