Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 178 Power unused is power lost.

"Your knowledge of these Six Paths Ninja Tools is more detailed than what is recorded in the village."

Orochimaru's expression was quite surprised.

It is common knowledge that the Uchiha clan has a deep foundation, but much of the foundation of the Konoha Hokage lineage comes from the Senju lineage.

Did his disciple learn these things through so-called family records, or did he have other intelligence channels?

However, Orochimaru did not investigate further.

Everyone has secrets.

Even though Uchiha Gen is his most trusted disciple, and he would share secrets about his future and destiny, such as the Reanimation Jutsu, there are still secrets that Uchiha Gen doesn't know.

As long as Uchiha Gen is on his side and the information is useful, then there's no need to worry about so much.

With this intelligence, he was prepared, and even if the Cloud Village used the Six Paths Ninja Tools, he could prepare a countermeasure in advance.

"As for the Six Paths Ninja Tools, we don't need to worry too much about them since we've taken precautions. On the contrary, I know you have something to rely on."

However, the Third Raikage is incredibly powerful, and Danzo is cunning and adept at self-preservation. While you still have time, you'd better improve your self-protection skills and make more preparations.

A new ninjutsu scroll slid out from Orochimaru's sleeve.

"I understand, Orochimaru-sensei."

Gen Uchiha nodded slightly to Orochimaru and accepted the ninjutsu scroll.

After flipping the scroll open, Uchiha Gen was somewhat surprised after just one glance.

Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique

Orochimaru's life-saving technique, if prepared in advance, is almost like a voodoo doll that can die and be resurrected. Even if seriously injured, it can refresh its status by sacrificing mana.

However, the amount of chakra consumed by this technique is closely related to the degree of snake body modification.

Without undergoing snake body modification, one cannot master this ninjutsu. Apart from Orochimaru, whose snake body modification has reached an extremely high level, even those who have undergone snake body modification will consume a large amount of chakra when using it once.

but----

Given my current physical condition, I should be able to withstand another snake body modification, right?

Nearly half a year has passed since he last underwent snake body modification.

Logically speaking, the later stages require more time, and it should take him at least another six months before he can undergo the next modification.

A few days ago, given his chakra reserves and the extent of his snake-body modification, he would probably have been exhausted after using it two or three times in a battle.

However, with the addition of Xiang's vortex physique, his ability to recover health and mana has been greatly enhanced, and he can fully withstand even if he is forcibly modified now.

Now that his chakra reserves have surged, once his snake body is modified, the consumption of the Orochi Style Substitution Technique will decrease. At that time, minor injuries can be directly resisted with Yin Healing and Destruction Technique, and serious injuries can also be treated with the Orochi Style Substitution Technique. In addition, with the Phantom Body Flicker Technique, his difficulty to deal with will increase again, making him comparable to an immortal cockroach.

In fact, this could be another opportunity for a Rashomon-like contract.

With his current Yang Release technique being so powerful, it's not impossible for him to reach the fourth Rashomon gate.

The Triple Rashomon is only somewhat useful in Kage-level battles. When faced with powerful killing moves like the Tailed Beast Ball or Hell Thrust, it falls short and can only serve to delay the enemy.

"With this technique, you should have a chance to save your life. If the situation becomes so dangerous that you have to use the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique multiple times, don't hesitate to sell Danzo. That old guy is not weak. With him holding you back, your Phantom Body Flicker Technique is enough to retreat and protect yourself."

After handing over the Orochi-ryu Substitution Technique, Orochimaru gave a reminder.

"Orochimaru-sensei, don't worry. I've had some inspiration recently, and I might be able to give you, Danzo, and the Third Raikage a little surprise."

Uchiha Gen smiled confidently at Orochimaru.

The latter raised an eyebrow.

He almost forgot that his disciple was an absolute prodigy, far more extraordinary than he had been back then.

At his age, progress was as easy as eating and drinking.

It was originally thought that after Uchiha Gen reached this level of strength, his progress would gradually slow down due to insufficient foundation, and he would need to consolidate for at least two or three years before making further progress. However, it was unexpected that he had not stopped yet.

"Very well, then let me see just how much of a surprise you can bring me. The intelligence gathering on Danzo's side will take time, and my plan will also need time to take effect, but not too much. You need to hurry."

Uchiha Gen added, "As I said, you can rest assured, but I need to get some things from the quartermaster department."

Each time the snake body was modified, the materials required became increasingly precious. He collected them himself, commissioned the clan to collect them, and even posted a task in the village offering a reward for these materials, but there were still some gaps.

However, the logistics department has to supply the entire army of several thousand people. Backed by the entire Konoha's resource warehouse, many things that are hard to find outside can be found here. Gathering these materials is not a particularly difficult task. At most, it just takes time to transport them from Konoha Village.

"The Quartermaster Department? I'll just give you a transfer order; fill in whatever you want."

Orochimaru picked up a pen, pulled a blank mission scroll from under the table, and tossed it to Uchiha Gen.

If you don't use your power, it will expire.

Normally, Orochimaru wouldn't be able to do something like this, but now it's wartime, and Orochimaru holds supreme power on one side of the battlefield, so he can do this.

"Then I'll take my leave, Orochimaru-sensei."

"It's alright, we don't have much time, don't waste it, get out of here."

Orochimaru waved his hand, signaling Uchiha Gen to step back.

After being rebuffed, Danzo took a step back and agreed to cooperate with Orochimaru.

There are many things he needs to replan. Even though he already had a plan in mind, he still needs to think about it carefully.

After leaving the tent, Uchiha Gen found a place and filled in all the things he was missing before running to the quartermaster's office.

"These things—are all what Lord Orochimaru wants? They look like—"

The quartermaster, a middle-aged Jonin from the Sarutobi clan, frowned upon seeing the list.

For such an important position, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to appoint someone he trusted. Even Orochimaru wouldn't move the person in this position unless absolutely necessary.

"That's right. You can ask Orochimaru-sensei for confirmation. These are related to whether we can hold off the Third Raikage in future battles. Time is of the essence, and we must gather them all in the shortest possible time. The priority of their mobilization must also be raised to the highest level."
