Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 166 Earth Platform

As the alarm sounded, one after another, Cloud Hidden Guardians emerged from the stronghold with swift movements.

This is the front-line battlefield, and it is also a relatively important stronghold of the Hidden Cloud Village. The Hidden Cloud Village ninjas who can stay here are naturally not the kind of second-line troops stationed in the second-line logistics strongholds. Each of them is a veteran of many battles.

"Enemy attack!"

"Southeast!"

Beware of dangerous individuals in the area!

"Ninjutsu Counterattack!"

In just a few seconds, the Cloud Recluses regained their footing and began to organize a counterattack.

Meanwhile, the other Konoha ninjas on Uchiha Gen's side also followed suit, using ninjutsu to attack and defend in an orderly manner.

"Water Release: Waterfall Technique!"

"Secret Technique: Insect Jade".

"Earth Release·Earth Flow Wall."

Under the cover of his teammates' ninjutsu, Uchiha Gen activated his Sharingan, creating seven or eight clones that charged ahead at the forefront.

"So many clones!"

"They all have Sharingan, they're Uchiha Gen! Don't fight them head-on! Prepare to retreat!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Uchiha Gen charged into the enemy ranks, his eyes widening as he unleashed a genjutsu.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

The Cloud Ninja who had spoken was stunned for a moment, then fell into hypnosis. His eyes, influenced by his ocular power, transformed into the Sharingan.

The long sword fell, but was blocked by a Cloud Village Jonin holding a kunai. In the next instant, another Uchiha Gen appeared, raised his sword, and cut off the ninja's head.

Poor Qi Gang had just managed to break free from the genjutsu by disrupting his own chakra with the help of that Cloud Village Jonin, only to be met with death.

"For him, dying while indulging in the Sharingan's genjutsu would be the best release."

Genichi Uchiha flicked his sword, his body dripping with blood, and lunged at the Cloud Village Jonin.

"The same applies to you."

Killing a Jonin-level expert is not so easy.

Every ninja village has a limited number of Jonin. Even if Uchiha Gen's strength were to rise another level, he still wouldn't be able to kill him instantly. Even an ordinary Jonin could withstand a few moves from him. If multiple Jonin worked together, or if two or more elite Jonin joined forces, they might actually have the strength to contend with him.

If Jonin were so easy to kill, they wouldn't be Jonin. Even Uchiha Gen didn't escape from Chiyo and Kakuzu so easily.

Fortunately, Gen Uchiha was not fighting alone.

His squad consisted of only ten people, but half of them were Jonin, which was enough to relieve the pressure on him in a short time and provide him with a good combat environment.

Unless someone is strong enough to break through this blockade, this Cloud Village Jonin will die at the hands of Uchiha Gen in less than half a minute.

To Uchiha Gen's surprise, there were actually Cloud Village ninjas in this base who almost succeeded!

"Molten Essence: Protective Jade!"

A small yellow rubber ball shot from a distance and blocked Uchiha Gen's blade at the last second.

"Lava Release? Without Kalayi, how could a Lava Release user be here?"

Although the thought in Uchiha's mind crumbled at the slightest touch, cut in two by the sharp blade, it still managed to delay things for a tiny moment.

Just as the Cloud Village Jonin retreated two steps, thinking he was safe, Uchiha Gen instantly switched to his phantom clone and unleashed a Rasengan.

Instantaneous ninjutsu is like cheating in these situations. It can be used to initiate attacks extremely quickly, and when used to chase down enemies, it leaves them no time to defend.

Although the Cloud Village Jonin reacted quickly, holding his sword horizontally in front of him to block, he still couldn't withstand the power of the Rasengan.

The ninja sword and body were blasted away by the Rasengan. After landing, his arms and hands disappeared, his chest was a blur, and he was completely lifeless.

Gen Uchiha withdrew his hand and looked in the direction of the person who had made the move.

He was a composed young man from the Cloud Village, whose chakra aura was quite powerful. His face was filled with regret after witnessing the death of his comrade.

"As expected of the formidable rival that Teacher Kalei spoke of, Uchiha Gen."

A message flashed quickly through Uchiha Gen's mind.

Tsuchidae, a young Jonin of the same generation as Orochimaru, is only one year younger than the Sannin. He is a disciple of Raikage Kaleidoki and a renowned elite Jonin of Kumogakure.

However, compared to the Sannin, Tsuchida is clearly a level weaker, and previous intelligence reports did not indicate that he could use Lava Release.

Although Gen Uchiha knew the plot of the future in the original timeline and knew that he could also master Lava Release, he had not seen this guy appear on the battlefield for so long.

Perhaps, during this time, Tsuchikage was hiding away, synthesizing Lava Release techniques.

Uchiha Tetsuka looked at the Cloud Village ninja with a gloomy expression.

"Yuan! This guy is a bit tricky. Sorry, I couldn't stop him."

"It's alright."

Uchiha Gen's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

He was well aware of Tie Huo's strength.

Two years ago, he awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. His genjutsu and fire release techniques are quite good. His strength is comparable to those veteran Jonin. He can be ranked in the upper-middle tier among all Jonin, but he cannot be called an elite.

He had already killed that Cloud Village Jonin, while Tsuchidai had only managed to repel Tetsuka.

Even if his actual strength differs from what is recorded in Konoha, he shouldn't be stronger than me; at most, he's on par with Kalei.

With the strength of Uchiha Gen and his team, they are not afraid of the other side at all. At worst, they can fight their way out under Uchiha Gen's leadership and escape unscathed.

"Let me see how much skill you have over your teacher. If you die by my hand, and that old man Kalay has no successor, don't blame me."

The graceful flames on the Sengoku ninja sword dissipated, replaced by a layer of leaping lightning.

Hatake-ryu swordsmanship!

Gen Uchiha, who had experience fighting Kalei, knew that the best way to deal with this rubber-type Lava Release, which had extremely strong defense and resilience, was to use attacks with strong piercing and cutting power.

The corresponding techniques for Gen Uchiha are Lightning Release and Wind Release.

The Hatake-ryu swordsmanship emphasizes the use of Lightning Release to enhance one's explosive power in attack and speed, making it more suitable for the current situation than the Uchiha-ryu swordsmanship.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound of swords rang out, and seven or eight clones of Uchiha Gen instantly surrounded the earthen platform, attacking it in unison amidst dazzling lightning.

"Molten Escape: Protective Barrier!"

Large amounts of rubber liquid gushed out from the mouth of the earthen platform, continuously coalescing into walls and rubber balls, only to be shattered by the lightning on the blade.

"Such a fast attack rhythm!"

Even though he had interacted with Kalei before and was somewhat prepared for Uchiha Gen's fighting style, Tsuchida still felt a strong sense of pressure when they clashed.
