Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 179 Aurora

Within a few days of receiving the order, Uchiha Gen had gathered all the materials he needed from the supply depot.

As the most powerful force in the ninja world today, there are almost no things that Konoha cannot collect.

Otherwise, if it were Uchiha Gen himself who had access to these things, even with the clan's connections and the convenience of being a Jonin, it would still take another year or two before he could gather them all.

With the backing of a powerful mountain and the availability of authority, the convenience and benefits are unimaginable to those rogue ninjas and rogue cultivators.

Inside the camp, at Uchiha Gen's residence.

A fire was lit under a large wooden barrel, causing the medicinal soup inside to bubble and gurgle.

This is the front line, and the environment is definitely not as good as it was in Konoha. However, the medicinal properties in this pot of medicine are extremely potent. All the germs and the like will be killed directly by the strong stimulating effects contained in it. Even ordinary ninjas, if they do not have the resistance they have from the snake body modification, will be scalded unconscious within seconds after soaking in it, without needing any other equipment to assist them.

Throughout the entire camp, Uchiha Gen only asked Mikoto, a trustworthy person, to help out by guarding the entrance.

The main reason is that if anything unexpected happens, she can notify Orochimaru through the small snake left behind by Gen Uchiha.

"We can begin."

Uchiha Gen let out a long breath, took out a premium soldier's ration pill that he had obtained through the system's quality upgrade card, swallowed it, then took off his clothes, bit down on a hollow iron pipe, and crawled into the bathtub.

The highly stimulating medicinal properties, upon contact with the skin, feel like thousands of fine needles piercing the body, reaching directly through the meridians and spinal cord.

This snake-body modification actually came somewhat hastily.

This is actually just like taking medicine. No matter how effective the medicine is, if you take it too much, you will inevitably develop drug resistance.

Regardless of the changes in medicinal materials, the core of snake body modification always contains a portion of the essence extracted from snakes in Ryuchi Cave. The more times the modification is performed, the stronger the resistance to this part of the medicine will naturally become.

Ultimately, like Orochimaru at his peak in the original timeline, he will be able to freely stretch and extend his body and limbs, possessing extreme flexibility and capable of performing various actions that defy human physics. He will also be able to significantly reduce the chakra consumption of snake-style ninjutsu such as the Orochimaru Substitution Technique.

Since the last snake body modification, Uchiha Gen had not fully absorbed the resistance to the drug's effects. This time, he was purely relying on the powerful vitality and massive amount of chakra granted by the character card to tough it out.

Although he believed that he could get through this transformation without much trouble, the pain would only increase significantly as a result.

"Ugh————"

A muffled groan escaped his lips; had it not been for the hard iron pipe he was biting down on, he would have screamed in agony by now.

But he could only endure it.

Chakra surged, and Yin Healing and Destruction were activated along with the chakra, healing the body cells damaged by the domineering effects of the medicine.

Mikoto, who was waiting outside the house, squatted on the ground, holding her sword with both hands, listening to the sounds coming from inside the house, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.

She also knew that some powerful techniques in the ninja world required immense suffering to learn.

After the last snake body modification, it took Uchiha Gen several days to recover, so she was naturally worried that the same thing would happen again this time.

Because of her unwavering trust in Uchiha Gen, she could only remain calm and guard outside the door.

After a long while, Uchiha Gen's voice subsided, and he emerged from the bathtub.

White steam was now rising from the stimulated pink skin.

"Aside from the pain, there really aren't any other problems. I still have more than 50% of my chakra left, and the recovery speed is quite fast. I didn't even need to use the soldier rations I prepared beforehand."

Gen Uchiha stretched his body, tried to channel chakra into his arm, and swung his fist forward.

A whooshing sound came, and my arm stretched forward a few inches out of thin air, full of elasticity.

"According to Orochimaru's deduction on the scroll, starting from this time, as the body's resistance increases, the temporary enhancement effect after each snake body modification will decrease."

However, it's already having some effect, so we need to hurry and not waste it.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Gen swallowed the soldier's ration pill in his mouth.

An unusually abundant warm energy immediately spread throughout his body, causing his chakra to recover at a rocket-like speed.

"The Yang Release chakra within my body is more active and generated at a faster rate, no wonder this soldier's ration pill has a certain healing effect."

Gen Uchiha dared not be negligent. He took another premium soldier's ration pill and put it in his mouth. Then he put on his clothes, bit his finger, formed hand seals, and slapped them on the ground, turning them into circles of cursed runes.

"Reverse Spirit Communication Technique: Rashomon!"

With a puff of white smoke, Uchiha Gen's figure vanished in the blink of an eye, returning to the howling, eerie canyon.

Above the canyon, against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains, is a magnificent sky where purple and green meet.

"Is this... the aurora borealis?"

Uchiha Gen raised his head, looking at the strange scene in the sky.

The appearance of the aurora indicates that this is a polar region, either the North Pole or the South Pole.

Once you get back, check the time and calculate using the date and season to determine whether it's the North or South Pole.

Indeed, only in such remote and bitterly cold places would the Sage of Six Paths choose them as the gateway connecting the mortal world and the Pure Land.

But how did people initially come to this place and sign a contract with Rashomon? And how did he know that Rashomon was here?

Is it Asura, the ancestor of the Thousand Hands?

Gen Uchiha shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts from his mind. He then channeled his chakra and ran forward at full speed.

He was already familiar with the path ahead, and at full speed, he was moving at almost the same pace as usual before the first door. In fact, his chakra level hadn't decreased at all; on the contrary, thanks to the premium soldier pills, it was almost fully restored.

He only started to feel some pressure after passing through the first door.

However, his current level of snake body modification is enough to reduce the intensity of these shockwaves by about 50%.

The rest could withstand it with his physical body alone, not to mention that he also has the powerful Yang Escape contained in the Immortal Body, and the effect of the premium soldier's ration pills to purify negative effects.

The second door, which once exhausted him to the point of crawling to reach, now only required him to catch his breath as he stood before it.

He is no longer the same person he was in the past.

"Boom!"

The green Rashomon gate opened wide, revealing the path to the third gate.
