Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 165 Several Months Later

In the Land of Hot Water, the war situation was much easier to adapt to than it had been in the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain over the past few years has been the most brutal meat grinder in the ninja world in the decades since the establishment of the ninja village system.

Although the intensity of the Cloud Hidden Battlefield is also very high, it has not become a battleground for multiple top powers like the Rain Country, so the pace of the war is not as fast.

Back in the Land of Rain, things were alright when we were on the second line of the battlefield. But when we were pulled to the front line, during those months when the intensity of the war was at its highest, it was a truly hectic time, with a constant sense of urgency that made it hard to breathe and the constant threat of danger.

Uchiha Gen had several close calls in the Land of Rain; if it weren't for the character cards provided by the system, he would have died many times over.

As for now, although the battlefield is still dangerous, the frequency of large-scale battles has decreased significantly compared to the Land of Rain. Instead, both sides frequently send out small and medium-sized teams to take advantage of the complex terrain of the Land of Hot Water, which is characterized by mountains and hills, to move back and forth across the land and fight over intelligence and logistics.

As one of the top three combatants on Konoha's side in this battlefield, Gen Uchiha has led elite teams on numerous occasions to carry out missions.

In the blink of an eye, the days have moved from early summer into late autumn.

"It can be confirmed that the intelligence provided by the Root spies is correct. The Hidden Cloud Village has indeed set up a secret base here to transfer some supplies and personnel, but it is still uncertain how strong the defenses are."

They have an internal sealing barrier for defense, which my parasitic insects cannot break through. Their personnel configuration is still unclear.

On the other side of the hillside, Shiro Aburame tucked several parasitic insects back into his sleeve and addressed Genji Uchiha.

In just a few months, Uchiha Gen's height seemed to have been accelerated, growing rapidly and increasing by six or seven centimeters at once.

With a height approaching 1.7 meters, he has already reached the standard of an adult. After this growth spurt, Uchiha Gen estimated that his height would not be much shorter.

However, he didn't want to grow too tall. He preferred to be between 1.78 and 1.85 meters. If he were taller, his center of gravity would be too high, which would affect his agility.

"They've even used a sealing barrier; this base seems very important!"

Uchiha Tekka-te, clinging to the top of the slope, looked at the sentries in the distance with his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes and said excitedly.

"Senior Tekka, turn off your Sharingan. Don't reveal too much chakra fluctuation. We're still unsure if there are any sensory ninjas among them."

Uchiha Gen retrieved a small, grayish-yellow snake from the ground and pointed it at Uchiha Tekka.

Most of the members in his squad were elites recruited from Orochimaru. For example, Shiro Aburame, who in the original timeline could create nano-sized poisonous insects, had a son named Torune Aburame who inherited his skills and became a powerful elite Jonin. This alone is enough to show that he possesses both strength and potential.

The others are either like Shiro Aburame, with decent strength and won't hold us back, or they are functional ninjas with unique skills that can play an important role in many situations.

Then there are the Uchiha clan members from the Grand Elder faction.

He was the Grand Elder's publicly acknowledged successor, and this power naturally gathered around him.

Uchiha Tekka was naturally one of them.

"What are you afraid of, Yuan? With you here, our team can easily storm in. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Another young Uchiha in the group spoke up.

This is also an Uchiha with three-tomoe Sharingan, named Uchiha Kiyoshi. Ten years ago, like Uchiha Gen when he had just graduated, he was discovered by the Grand Elder and is now a squad leader in the police department.

Over the course of several months, Gen Uchiha made numerous appearances on the battlefield, and his formidable strength had already earned the recognition of these young Uchiha.

"Should we fight?"

Sarutobiyama unfurled a scroll and looked at Uchiha Gen, asking a question.

It's not just Shiro Aburame who has the means to investigate.

While Gen Uchiha wasn't as skilled in sensory perception as Shiro Aburame, he still possessed his own unique abilities through the snakes of Ryuchi Cave.

Snakes can sense their surroundings through smell and infrared radiation. This small yellow and black snake doesn't have any of these abilities, but it is exceptionally good at sensing smells. Its forked tongue is several times more sensitive and discerning than that of ordinary snakes when it comes to capturing odor molecules.

This is how they evade pursuit by powerful enemies and hunt smaller creatures such as pikas and rabbits.

Thanks to this small snake, Gen Uchiha was able to obtain some basic information about the interior from such a great distance.

What he needed was not particularly complicated information.

All you need to know is the number of people and whether they know anyone there.

"Judging from the smell, there should be more than fifty people in this base. Based on experience, a number of people like this usually have more than one Jonin stationed there. If this place is really important, there may be even more."

It's a bit tough, but without those three guys, it's worth a try.

Gen Uchiha released the summoning of the small yellow-gray snake, stood up, and looked towards the Cloud Village ninja's stronghold.

Those three guys refer to the Third Raikage, the Fourth Raikage and his son A, and the Raikage, Kaleido.

All three of them have the strength to withstand Gen Uchiha, and if the aura of the Third Raikage were to appear, Gen Uchiha would not hesitate to lead his team to retreat.

For over a year, Orochimaru and his allies, who had not yet reached the Kage level, needed the combined strength of the three Sannin to barely contend with Hanzo of the Salamander, who was at the peak of the Kage level. The Third Raikage's strength was not much worse than Hanzo's, and even three Uchiha Gen might not be able to fight him to a draw. If this team encountered him, it was not impossible for them to be completely wiped out. Even Uchiha Gen himself knew that if he encountered that guy, he could only hope to escape unscathed at best.

But as long as that guy isn't around, their team is safe.

The absence of the Fourth Hokage A and Karai indicates that there is no one else in this base who can stop Gen Uchiha.

The other members of the team are also quite capable, enough to destroy this stronghold.

"Let's go! First attack formation, move out!"

Gen Uchiha drew his Sengoku ninja sword and gave the order.

In the next instant, flames roared into the sky.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Several fiery dragons flew out and instantly bombarded the stronghold.

A barrier with an iron-colored metallic sheen appeared, but it shattered under the attack of the fire-style technique.

The three of them, including Uchiha Gen, were all Jonin of the Uchiha clan who had mastered the nature transformation of Fire Release. When they attacked together, the power of their Fire Release was extremely considerable.
