Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 196 The Mastermind's Second Card

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen raised an eyebrow.

He also coveted the spells in the Book of Seals.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, Impure World Reincarnation, Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques —

All the forbidden techniques that Tobirama Senju developed throughout his life were recorded in this book. Many ninjas could experience a dramatic change in their combat power simply by learning just one of them.

What Uchiha Gen wanted most was the Flying Thunder God Technique—no one would not want to learn such a powerful space-time ninjutsu.

However, the Third Hokage just said that the Book of Seals could only be read within a limited scope, and Gen Uchiha didn't know if the old man would allow him to see the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even though he was Orochimaru's disciple and the successor of the Will of Fire designated by Mito Uzumaki before her death, and had impeccable lineage, his true nature was still that of the Uchiha.

To be honest, even Uchiha Gen couldn't say for sure whether he could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

That's not something you can do with just ninjutsu skills; you need exceptional talent in space-time ninjutsu.

Even with exceptional ninjutsu skills, it's difficult to surpass ninjutsu masters like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru.

He himself must have had a talent for space-time ninjutsu, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to learn the summoning technique so quickly. But there are many people who can learn the summoning technique. However, throughout the entire Naruto series, only Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze have truly mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Orochimaru-sensei, what do you mean by the opportunity to return to the village—"

"I've already made the arrangements."

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Gen and said, "We have now taken Asuka Fortress, which has laid the foundation for our position in the Land of Hot Springs. If we want to use it as a springboard to enter, we will need more power."

Three days ago, Sarutobi-sensei had already issued the order to transfer the previous batch of rotation ninjas who had finished their rest and recuperation in the Land of Rain, as well as the senior ninja academy students who graduated early this year. Even the ninja clans like Sarutobi had to transfer a batch of reserve forces from within their clans at the Third Hokage's request.

Tomorrow, two thousand reinforcements will arrive in the Land of Rain, led by Senior Wind-Taking.

With Danzo and Torifu-senpai in charge, along with the three clan heads of Ino-Shika-Cho and eight thousand ninja soldiers, even if we're not there, it will be enough to ensure temporary peace.

Even if the Third Raikage and the others are strong, they can't break through by force. We can have a brief opportunity to return to the village and read the Book of Seals.

This matter has already been approved by three generations of teachers, and you can take this opportunity to deal with some clan matters.

"That's all I can do. The rest is ultimately a matter for your Uchiha clan; how you resolve it is entirely up to you."

"I understand, Orochimaru-sensei. I am confident that I can suppress the internal affairs of the clan."

Gen Uchiha nodded slightly to Orochimaru.

Fortunately, only Uchiha Soya knew about his awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the latter had given his approval; no one else knew about it yet.

At that time, all troubles can be forcefully suppressed with these eyes.

"Very good. Then please help me arrange the affairs in the camp. After we finish coordinating with Senior Qufeng tomorrow, we will set off immediately."

Orochimaru pointed to the large number of documents on the table and smiled at his disciple.

He's done so much for this precious disciple, so it's only right that Uchiha Genji should give him a day's work as a servant.

That evening.

The top floor of the fortress was brightly lit by candlelight.

Uchiha Gen closed the file and wearily rubbed his temples.

He was energetic and possessed the Sharingan, so his mental strength was naturally not weak either. However, dealing with these troublesome and mentally taxing matters was completely different from the high-intensity battles on the battlefield.

Although he quickly mastered these skills under Orochimaru's guidance, and both Orochimaru and Nara Shikadaira had high praise for him, Uchiha Gen still preferred the battlefield to this job.

That's where the Uchiha bloodline truly boils.

Fortunately, after working for more than ten hours straight, I finally finished dealing with the matters that needed to be handled. I just need to go back and get some sleep, and tomorrow I can complete the handover and return to Konoha.

However, just as he returned to his room and slept until two or three in the morning, the cordon and seal that had been set up in front of his door were suddenly triggered.

"Clang!"

The sound of a Sengoku period ninja sword being drawn rang out, and Uchiha Gen jumped out of bed.

The next instant, Uchiha Gen, wearing a green Konoha ninja vest, appeared behind the newcomer.

During wartime, even in relatively safe fortresses, Uchiha Gen would sleep with his eyes closed, ready to fight at any moment.

In the pitch-black corridor, the crimson light of the Sharingan was reflected on the Sengoku ninja sword, revealing the face of the newcomer.

"Si? What, it's you?"

Uchiha Gen sheathed his Sengoku ninja sword and looked at the newcomer, asking a question.

This person was also a member of his clan, named Uchiha Tsukasa, a special Jonin with two tomoe. He was also frightened by Uchiha Gen's actions and activated his own two tomoe.

Although it was of little use, if Uchiha Gen hadn't stopped in time, he would have already killed Uchiha Tsukasa instantly.

"Lord Gen, something terrible has happened! Fugaku has disappeared! The Second Elder and Third Elder are currently searching for you with their men!"

Uchiha Tsukasa said anxiously to Uchiha Gen.

"Fugaku has disappeared? The Second Elder and Third Elder are looking for me?"

Gen Uchiha took a deep breath through his nose, his chest heaving.

So, this is the second card that followed?

The timing was perfect; this happened the very night before he was to fortify the city.

Thinking about it this way, Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu must have been connected to one of Fugaku, the Second Elder, or the Third Elder to have been able to do such a thing.

"Perhaps it wasn't a disappearance, but a deliberate departure."

Uchiha Gen spoke softly.

The most likely candidate is Uchiha Fugaku.

This guy is also an Uchiha with three-tomoe Sharingan. He is proficient in many clan secret ninjutsu. Although he is only in his early twenties, he is already a strong elite Jonin.

Uchiha Gen and the others didn't make a move; there weren't many people in the entire camp who had the ability to take down Uchiha Fugaku quietly.

If he's going to rebel, there's no way he won't make a scene.

It is precisely because of his youth that Fugaku still has a chance to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. Compared to the Second Elder and Third Elder, who are already in their forties or fifties and whose life's limit is already determined, he is more qualified to be chosen by Madara Uchiha as his successor.

Perhaps they've already gotten together.

Considering Madara's original plan for Obito, it's likely that he intended to use this opportunity to have Fugaku fake his death, escape, and inherit Madara's legacy, becoming the second Uchiha Madara, and orchestrating the Eye of the Moon plan's layout in the ninja world.

They probably haven't let go of their own thoughts yet and want to take this opportunity to target me.
