Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 152 Thunder Shadow Minister

This shows that Gen Uchiha himself did not have any obvious weaknesses. It was this basic stat, combined with Kakashi's enhancement of ninjutsu as a child, Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan, and the Phantom Body Flicker Technique he mastered, that gave him his current strength.

Only with a good enough foundation can these character cards achieve their full potential.

The best example is Sasuke Ninja.

Aside from his three-tomoe Sharingan, this flamboyant Sasuke's abilities in other areas are relatively mediocre, and it can be said that every aspect is overshadowed by the current abilities of Uchiha Gen.

However, he was still able to learn other secret techniques and develop additional value with his Sharingan with its three tomoe.

However, even if he didn't have his current foundation, or even with the unexpected gains from the Third Hokage's guidance, he would never have been able to learn such a difficult ninjutsu as the Phantom Body Flicker Technique.

Not to mention, he has a limited number of card slots, and he will need to make some choices when the number of ninja character cards increases in the future.

"The only training task related to the character card right now should be the Lightning Release Nature Transformation for young Kakashi. It shouldn't be long before we can completely digest the abilities in this character card, saving a card slot and making room for future character cards."

Gen Uchiha watched his three teammates, who were still busy, his mind racing.

He planned to level up to forty during this major battle.

With his current strength, he can almost always complete missions of A-level and below, and he is qualified to lead a team to carry out even S-level missions.

With high-level missions as a source of sustenance, reaching level 40 shouldn't be too long, and even level 50 isn't impossible to achieve during this great war.

"After level 50, a new card slot will be unlocked, which should be enough in theory. However, with more than 20 draws, it's unlikely that you won't get a character card even once. So it might not be enough. I don't know if I'll be able to digest Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan by then."

The character card of young Madara that he had drawn earlier, under the subtle stimulation of his eye power, activated his Uchiha bloodline and awakened the single-tomoe Sharingan.

This is a major boon for Gen Uchiha, meaning that these characters with Sharingan can also fully digest it over time, just like other non-bloodline techniques, making it extremely cost-effective.

However, while the stimulation from the three-tomoe Sharingan is stronger than that from the single-tomoe Sharingan, the leveling speed is also slower.

He would take off the character card of Shinobi Sasuke every few days to experiment with it. He had just upgraded to two tomoe a few days ago. Considering the time span, it was hard to say whether he could advance to three tomoe before then.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

Gen Uchiha decided to give up thinking.

This is something that cannot be changed by his will; he can only wait and see.

The squad continues to lead multiple reconnaissance teams on reconnaissance missions.

More than an hour later, an unexpected situation finally occurred.

"The team on the east side has completed its reconnaissance of the area within 30 kilometers and found nothing unusual."

"Traces of the enemy were detected to the west, but no enemy was found."

"The Kurenai Yuhi squad to the north has run into a Kumogakure reconnaissance squad and is currently engaged in combat. Requesting backup."

Aburame Shiguro retrieved several parasitic insects that had fallen from the sky into his sleeve. After closing his eyes and probing the information through the connection between his chakra and the parasitic insects, he reported to Uchiha Genji.

"We've got work to do."

Gen Uchiha clenched his fists and stretched his shoulders a few times.

Kurenai Yuhi was Kurenai Yuhi's father, and was about the same age as Sakumo Hatake. In the original timeline, he was entrusted with important responsibilities during the time of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, but he was killed in the Nine-Tails' attack.

This elite Jonin was quite famous in Konoha, and was proficient in the Yuhi family's genjutsu and the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship founded by the Second Hokage.

The fact that his squad was forced into a fierce battle and had to request reinforcements shows that the enemy must be quite powerful.

"Set off!"

Four figures shot out like arrows from a bow, turning into blurry shadows in an instant.

All of them were ninjas of considerable strength, and the distance of more than ten kilometers did not take long. Almost immediately, Uchiha Gen arrived at his destination.

More than ten figures were entangled at the edge of the dense forest, unleashing a barrage of powerful ninjutsu.

The man battling against the Crimson Sunset was an elderly white man with a ruddy complexion and a high nose.

He wore a black hat, and the character "霆" was tattooed on his muscular shoulder, which was partially exposed.

"Molten Core: Strike Bullet!"

Bouncy projectiles bounced and darted through the forest, piercing through countless trees.

On the ground, there were yellow pits covered with viscous liquid.

Under the suppression of the Sand Village ninjas she led, Kurenai Yuhi and several Konoha ninjas could only struggle to evade and resist.

"This is—Karai, the Raikage of Kumogakure!"

Upon seeing this highly distinctive Lava Release technique, Gen Uchiha immediately recognized the person's identity.

Raikage Teiji, hailed as the most capable right-hand man of two generations of Raikage, is a Lava Release ninja named Kalei.

Raikage Iwaomi's position in Kumogakure is equivalent to that of the Hokage's advisor in Konoha, placing him among the highest-ranking members.

In the original timeline, this person never appeared. Instead, there was a ninja who was quite similar to him, namely Tsuchidai, the Fourth Raikage's nephew, during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

That person is not only incredibly strong, but also has a brilliant mind; he is the Fourth Raikage's most relied-upon strategist.

The person before him was, in this real world, both the previous Raikage, Tsuchida, and the mentor who had trained him. The latter's Lava Release technique was also inherited from Kalei.

This powerful individual was, at his peak, a strongman whose strength was close to that of a Kage.

Although he is not young now, as a ninjutsu-type bloodline ninja, his combat power has not declined too much and he still maintains a very high level.

It's no wonder that someone of this caliber could defeat an elite squad led by a Jonin like Yuhi Shinku, causing them to flee in terror.

Just by looking at the corpses on the ground, you could tell that his squad had been reduced by more than half due to the battle.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

Seeing his teammates in danger, Gen Uchiha naturally took action immediately.

Fireballs rained down from the sky like meteorites, instantly engulfing a large part of the battlefield and forcing Kalayi to temporarily halt his attacks on Yuhi Shinku and the others to avoid the flames.

"Fire Release, Sharingan, is it an Uchiha? At this age, and with this appearance—"

Upon seeing the approaching Uchiha Gen, Kalei's mind raced, and he immediately recognized Uchiha Gen's identity.
