Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 171 Upgrading the Sengoku Ninja Sword

Karin's combat abilities are not outstanding, but her support abilities are absolutely top-notch.

Chakra reserves, self-healing ability, sensory abilities, and sealing techniques almost perfectly compensate for the shortcomings of Gen Uchiha.

Or rather, such comprehensive support abilities can complement almost all ninjas.

As for the potential value of Yang Release within his body, it is even greater. Combined with medical ninjutsu, it has already achieved such an effect with only a little development. If he could learn the Regeneration Technique, then it is very likely that he could rely on his massive chakra reserves and Yang Release to single-handedly replace a high-ranking member of the medical team and perform this technique on his own, indirectly achieving an effect close to that of the Hundred Healings Technique.

Even if the effect isn't as strong as Tsunade's Hundred Healings technique when she activates the Yin Seal, it's already quite good as long as she can utilize Kana's Yang Release talent, which allows her to recover half her health with a single bite.

After exploring the most valuable character cards, what remains are the five item cards.

[Item Cards: Explosive Talisman x3 (White), Training Acceleration Card (White), Training Acceleration Card (Green), Quality Improvement Card (Green), Weapon Enhancement Card (Blue)]

"The detonation spell cards can be ignored. The two training acceleration cards, one green and one white, can be used normally and will save me two and a half months. I can use them to learn the final Wind Release nature transformation. If I have extra time, I can also think about Water Release."

After obtaining the incomplete Sage Body of the young girl Tsunade, her chakra attributes were also inherited along with her Senju physique.

Gen Uchiha's chakra nature is primarily fire and wind, with an additional Yin Release manifested due to his Sharingan. Tsunade, on the other hand, possesses all other chakra natures except for Yin Release and Wind Release, thus filling this gap.

He is now a ninja with all attributes. Except for bloodline limit techniques, he can easily copy all secret techniques as long as they do not involve nature transformation. Naturally, he can also learn water release techniques.

If he wanted, he could copy thousands of ninjutsu like Kakashi Hatake in the original story and earn the title of Copy Ninja.

He now has his own fighting style, so there's no need for him to use Kakashi's.

Moreover, by the time Kakashi reached the Shippuden era, his fighting style no longer relied on these techniques. Instead, he built a combat system centered on Lightning Release, supplemented by Earth Release and taijutsu, with the Kamui Sharingan as his trump card.

"You can keep the quality upgrade card for now and use it later depending on your needs. The most important thing about this draw, besides the character card, is this blue-quality weapon enhancement card."

Gen Uchiha drew his Sengoku ninja sword from his waist.

The cool moonlight shone on the matte black metal blade, reflecting a unique brilliance.

Although it was not stained with blood, it exuded a chilling aura.

This ninja sword, which accompanied Madara Uchiha in his battles since his youth, has been passed down to this day. In the hands of Gen Uchiha, it has also drunk its fill of blood, sending countless ninjas to their final resting place.

With the addition of several green card enhancements, it has already begun to subtly reveal a touch of the divine.

[Weapon: Sengoku Ninja Sword (Green) ++++]

The current weapon quality has been upgraded to its limit. To continue upgrading, please use a higher quality upgrade card.

[Use weapon enhancement card (blue)?]

【Yes. 】

[In progress —]

[Weapon quality upgrade in progress — The current weapon quality has reached blue, and the affix option is now available. Upgrading the current quality will grant blue affixes, and affixes are currently being randomly drawn —]

The following terms are currently available:

[1. Sharpness Enhancement +1: Enhances sharpness, increasing the ability to penetrate armor and defensive ninjutsu.]

[2. Killing Intent Enhancement +1: The user can resonate their will with the killing intent within the weapon, impacting the spirit of the enemy directly in front of them.]

[3. Fire Attachment +1: Amplifies the power of fire-related abilities unleashed through this weapon.]

[4. Lightning Attribute +1: Amplifies the power of lightning-related abilities unleashed through this weapon.]

All four entries relate to how Gen Uchiha used this ninja sword in battle.

Sharpness enhancement is probably something that any weapon with a sharpened edge would have, and killing intent enhancement is likely similar; as long as you kill enough people with this weapon, you'll get this attribute.

The third and fourth instances of fire and lightning effects were mostly due to the Uchiha and Hatake sword techniques he used regularly.

"The second term can be eliminated first. I already have the Sharingan's genjutsu, and the mental shock effect of killing intent overlaps with it. Its power cannot exceed that of the Sharingan. The remaining three terms are all related to attack."

The fire attribute corresponds to the Uchiha-style swordsmanship, and the lightning attribute corresponds to the Hatake-style swordsmanship. This is too one-dimensional, simply increasing sharpness. While it might not be as effective in specific areas as the other two, it's more versatile. So, let's stick with this one.

After a quick mental search, Uchiha Gen made his choice.

[Selected term: Sharpness Enhancement.]

[Continuously strengthening —]

The blue weapon enhancement card shattered at that moment, turning into specks of blue light that converged into a hammer phantom burning with blue flames, pounding against the Sengoku ninja sword.

Once the phantom disappeared, the system's next notification appeared.

[Enhancement successful!]

Uchiha Gen refocused his gaze on the Sengoku Ninja Sword and found that although it was still the same sword, it looked slightly different from before it was enhanced.

The feel remains the same, but the luster on the blade is even more intense.

In the past, although this knife was of excellent quality, it looked unassuming and simple. At first glance, it was not much different from an ordinary old-fashioned ninja sword. But now, the luster on its blade and the faint killing intent it exudes make it clear at a glance that this is no ordinary weapon.

[Weapon Name: Sengoku Ninja Sword]

[Quality: Blue]

[Entry: Sharpness Enhancement]

Gen Uchiha held the Sengoku Ninja Sword horizontally in front of him, reaching out to touch the cold blade.

As I ran my fingers lightly over the blade, I felt a faint stinging sensation even before touching it, as if getting any closer would surely result in injury from this deadly weapon.

Grip the handle and gently swipe forward; you'll feel almost no air resistance.

With a little effort, he easily cut open a tree in front of him; the difficulty didn't seem much greater than cutting a piece of tofu.

The process is smooth and seamless.

The sharpening effect immediately satisfied Gen Uchiha.

Infusing chakra into it, a rather smooth sensation emanated from the blade.

Sharpness enhancement is an additional effect of the attribute, and the quality of the Sengoku Ninja Sword has jumped from green to blue. The quality of the sword itself has also improved in other aspects, such as the conductivity of chakra.
