Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

With the boost from that skill proficiency card, Gen Uchiha's Great Fireball Technique was the most powerful of all the ninjutsu he had ever mastered.

With the addition of the special kerosene brought by Sarutobi Enjun, its power became even more astonishing, like a meteor falling from the sky.

The two giant snakes that lunged at Uchiha Gen were unable to dodge in time and were sent away on the spot, returning to Ryuchi Cave, their fate unknown.

"The power of this fireball... something's not right? Is it a nature change? No, it still doesn't seem quite right, the power is still a bit weak."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha looked at the great fireball unleashed by Gen Uchiha with a look of astonishment.

Orochimaru was much calmer, but he was still a little surprised and turned to look at Sarutobi Enjun.

"It's not a change in nature, it's just that kerosene was added."

This is more like a combination of Water Release and Fire Release ninjutsu, but it's not unrelated to nature transformation. Using oil to enhance Fire Release is something both Sarutobi and Jiraiya were very skilled at. However, they wouldn't drink oil beforehand during battle; instead, they would use Water Release to transform water into oil, directly incorporating it into the Fire Release. This not only greatly enhances the power of the Fire Release but also makes the flames much harder to extinguish due to the properties of the oil.

After Orochimaru's explanation, Uchiha Hachika understood.

It's because he used kerosene, not a fire-style nature transformation, which explains why he didn't realize it at first.

"Even so, this child's mastery of the Great Fireball Technique is already extremely excellent. He truly deserves to be called a genius ninja of the clan. No wonder Orochimaru Jonin, you had to test him like this."

Sarutobi Enjun scratched his head as Orochimaru stared at him.

Both used oil to enhance their fire-style techniques, but Gen Uchiha's power was significantly greater than that of Sarutobi Enjun.

"Um... Gen's fire style is indeed stronger than mine."

"Falcon, we can see that. Tell us something we don't know."

Uzuki Ruri wrapped the bandage around Sarutobi Enjun's shoulder and rolled her eyes.

The latter chuckled foolishly.

"I also provided the kerosene."

"We could have guessed it without you saying it, but you did a good job. Concentrating some of the surplus resources on more capable people allows them to create greater value. This is not only a reasonable allocation of resources within the team, but also the underlying logic of human society. It is because of this that power is born."

Orochimaru said calmly, his eyes reflecting Uchiha Gen's every move.

By now, he has roughly figured out Uchiha Gen's overall combat capabilities.

His combat skills and tactical acumen are excellent at this stage. He is bold yet meticulous, and his talent and ability in ninjutsu are outstanding. Although, from Orochimaru's perspective, there are still many shortcomings, they can ultimately be made up for.

As long as one has a solid foundation and is intelligent enough, with the guidance of a renowned teacher, one can definitely grow rapidly in a short period of time, and may even be able to achieve the combat power of a Jonin at the age of thirteen or fourteen, just like he did.

Even now, aside from his significant shortcomings in combat experience, Uchiha Gen's overall strength has almost surpassed the level of a genin.

Let's turn our attention back to the Uchiha clan.

The two standard kunai produced by the system had already dulled and were discarded on the ground.

Sweat and snake blood mingled and flowed down Uchiha Gen's body. He turned around quickly, threw out two shuriken, pinned the python that tried to attack from behind to the scorching tree trunk, and then took out the few remaining kunai from his ninja tool bag and threw them out, pinning them around the area as well.

In this way, even if the kunai is dull or broken, he can directly take a new kunai from the surrounding battlefield for use in combat, saving him the trouble of taking it from his ninja tool bag.

"It's a pity I haven't learned the Uchiha-style swordsmanship yet, otherwise this would be much easier."

A thought flashed through Uchiha Gen's mind. Sensing an attack from behind, he leaped up, dodging a large snake that was launched at him, and formed hand seals.

It's still the Great Fireball Technique.

Although the oil was used up, its power was still considerable. It blasted another large snake that was coming towards it back into Ryuchi Cave. At the same time, it gathered chakra under its feet, ran upside down on the tree trunk for a few steps, and swung its blade to slash away several small snakes.

The amount of chakra has decreased again.

Next, I'm afraid I won't be able to use any more powerful ninjutsu. With my small body, it will be difficult for me to deal with these huge snakes.

But I couldn't do without it just now. Even though I used my senses to detect and avoid the sneak attack in advance, I was forced to move because of it.

Without using ninjutsu, he really wouldn't have been able to deal with the second giant snake.

Now, with his chakra running low, Gen Uchiha doesn't know what cards he has left to deal with the upcoming attacks.

However, after a short while, the snakes suddenly stopped attacking.

"Time's up, you did a good job."

Orochimaru appeared before Gen Uchiha at some point, his face calm.

A blue python emerged from Orochimaru's sleeve, opened its massive mouth at a 180-degree angle, and spat out a scroll still covered in some slime.

"This ninjutsu is yours."

Amidst the envious gazes of Sarutobi Enjun and Uzuki Ruri, Orochimaru tossed the ninjutsu scroll to Uchiha Gen.

"This technique was passed down by the First Hokage. In the present Konoha, only I can unleash most of its power. However, the training process is somewhat dangerous, so you need to prepare enough medicine for injuries when you train. And you can only move on to the next stage after you meet my requirements."

"Thank you, Orochimaru-sensei!"

Uchiha Gen's expression brightened.

The hard work paid off; this technique sounds incredibly powerful!

"You are Uchiha Gen, the clan's newly emerged genius?"

A young Uchiha with a mature-looking face walked up to the two of them and kept looking Uchiha Gen up and down.

"You are... my eighth-generation cousin?"

Gen Uchiha recognized the person in front of him.

The two hadn't had much interaction in the past; the last time they met was at the annual ancestral worship ceremony at the Nanga Shrine.

At that time, Uchiha Hachimoku, as a newly promoted Jonin with the three-tomoe Sharingan, even went up to offer incense to his ancestor, the god Indra.

Uchiha Eighth Hokage:

"Hmm, your Fire Release technique was quite good. You lived up to the reputation of being a genius of the Uchiha clan. I hope to see you at the clan meeting soon."

The annual ancestral worship ceremony at Nanga Shrine is different for each clan.

The latter is theoretically open to all Uchiha, including commoners, because that day is the birthday of their ancestor, Indra, which is equivalent to an internal festival of the Uchiha clan.

The clan council, however, is only open to Uchiha members who have awakened the Sharingan. It is held monthly and can be convened on an ad hoc basis to discuss important clan matters, thus carrying a certain political significance.
