Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 148 Obon Festival, Holding Hands

At that time, you can either find a task to clear out bandits or take the opportunity to buy and sell slaves at underground bounty shops.

Even if all else fails, there are plenty of fresh corpses and prisoners on the battlefield that can satisfy Manda's requirements.

In the war-torn ninja world, human life is both the most precious and the most worthless thing.

The Green Snake is sufficient most of the time, but the Ten Thousand Snake is so powerful that it can play a better role when facing strong enemies. It cannot be replaced, so we still have to sign it.

If he were to encounter a situation similar to Deidara's self-destruction in the future, where death was inevitable, he could learn from Sasuke's actions and forcibly summon Manda as a defensive shield, which would almost be equivalent to a chance to take someone's place.

Seeing that Uchiha Gen readily agreed, Manda was overjoyed and continued, "The hundred sacrifices are for the future; I want a hundred for today's battle as well."

The crisp metallic scraping sound rang out again.

Gen Uchiha drew his Sengoku Ninja Sword from his waist again, and once again created phantom clones around his body.

"Really? Well, there are already a hundred of them. I haven't had enough yet. Why don't we keep going? Otherwise, it would be a waste of my hundred offerings."

Under the watchful eyes of countless Sharingan users, Manda fell silent.

Do you still fight?

He can keep fighting, and he's not afraid to keep fighting, but fighting this guy is really disgusting.

"You can owe me these hundred."

"I owe you a damn thing, keep hitting me!"

Genji Uchiha, wielding the Sengoku Ninja Sword, charged at Manda once more.

Having just learned the Phantom Instantaneous Movement Technique, now is the perfect opportunity to hone it through intense combat.

Mansakani is tough and strong, and unlike Orochimaru, he doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve. There's no way to deal with him, making him the perfect punching bag.

In the primeval forest, the battle between the man and the snake lasted for several hours.

Manda went from being angry to being irritable, then to being impatient, and finally giving up and giving up, feeling like crying but having no tears left.

This thing is really annoying!

"How about we don't sign the psychic contract? Just pretend you didn't come to see me today, and I didn't even see you, okay?"

Manda lay coiled on the ground with a helpless expression, looking at Uchiha Gendo, whose clothes were covered in dust.

"No, then all my efforts would have been for nothing!"

Gen Uchiha decisively refused.

"One hundred offerings will be delivered to you tomorrow, but you must exert yourself fully in battle from now on."

In the future, we'll still need Manda's help. If we give them the stick, we should also give them the sweet treat.

One hundred offerings. He'll take on a temporary mission outside the village tomorrow. With his speed, he can quickly find an underground black market or something, and once he takes it down, he can easily gather the necessary items.

Upon hearing Uchiha Gen's words, Manda immediately perked up, raised his head on his long neck, and his large eyes lit up.

If there are offerings, then his efforts won't have been in vain.

"really?"

Gen Uchiha nodded to Manda, then reached out and pricked his finger with the tip of his knife, drawing a drop of blood which he flicked towards the latter's head. He then formed hand seals.

Manda no longer resisted.

The spiritual contract has been successfully signed.

"Right now, I probably don't have any other way to quickly improve my strength in the short term. The things I'm currently dealing with have finally come to an end, and I should be able to rest peacefully for a few days before the war begins."

With the acquisition of the two powerful snakes, Manda and Ao, as well as several other usable summoning snakes, his strength has been significantly enhanced.

Including these summoning snakes, his current strength is roughly equivalent to Orochimaru before his breakthrough. His combat power would easily rank him among the top in Konoha, a place teeming with powerful individuals.

After dispelling the Reverse Summoning Jutsu and returning home from Ryuchi Cave, Uchiha Gen first took a bath and had a good sleep to relieve his fatigue before going out again.

It is now evening.

Uchiha Gen was looking for a small stall to grab dinner, but found that several of his usual shops were closed. Instead, he ran into Mikoto carrying a box near his home.

After he moved to the vicinity of the Grand Elder, he encountered Mikoto quite often, and the two often practiced together.

"Yuan? Where have you been today? I've been looking for you all day!"

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen, Mikoto ran over and gave him a sweet smile.

Today, instead of her usual dashing ninja outfit, she wore a long black kimono, which, combined with her gentle demeanor, made her appear elegant and refined, perfectly embodying the image of a classic beauty and a Yamato Nadeshiko in people's minds.

"I gained a lot from practicing in another place today."

Gen Uchiha gave Mikoto a relaxed smile.

Seeing beautiful women always improves my mood, especially gentle and playful beauties like this.

"Practice is practice, don't get too busy. You've obviously forgotten what day it is. Here, take this and change into it, then we'll go to the Nanhe River."

"Nanhe River?"

Gen Uchiha was taken aback, then took the box from Mikoto.

Inside, there was a set of men's black kimono neatly folded, which looked to be the same style as Mikoto's.

"Today is the Obon Festival, have you forgotten? Later, the head priest of the Fire Temple will be by the Naga River to offer incense for all those who have died since the village was founded. Afterwards, the third generation leader will also lead the villagers in a memorial service for the deceased by the river."

The Ullambana Festival is a festival similar to Qingming Festival, on which people hold ceremonies to commemorate the souls of their ancestors.

Uchiha Gen spread out his kimono and draped it over his body.

It really is the same style as Misaka's.

"Let's go get something to eat first. I have some pastries with me; we can eat them on the way. Let's not miss the ceremony."

Mikoto Uchiha took Gen Uchiha's hand and ran towards home. A few minutes later, she hurriedly ran towards the Naka River with a few pastries in her arms.

Unfortunately, they were still late.

Amidst the sea of ​​people, they could only see the upper half of the enormous golden Buddha statue displayed on a shelf in the distance.

Fortunately, the two were ninjas, and Uchiha at that.

With a leap, they silently flew to the top of a large tree nearby, sitting side by side on the thick trunk, their two red Sharingan eyes shining brightly, clearly taking in the scene beneath the Buddha statue.

The current abbot is leading a group of monks, dressed in robes and holding golden lotus staffs, performing an enigmatic dance, their bodies radiating golden light.

With his Sharingan, Gen Uchiha could clearly see the special chakra flowing within these monks' bodies.

The special chakra emanating from the leader was quite powerful, almost solidifying into a physical form as it overflowed around him, transforming into numerous arms, like a thousand-armed Arhat descending to earth.
