Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

"I'm here today to deliver a notice, and also to give you some other things."

Orochimaru crossed his arms and addressed the three Uchiha Genji.

"Because the village is currently facing enormous pressure on three fronts, after research and appointment by the Third Hokage and the Elder Council, your batch of genin will also be incorporated into the combat team. You will assemble in five days and go to different battlefields in batches."

A slightly hoarse voice reached the ears of the three disciples. Orochimaru looked down at them, observing their expressions.

Sarutobi Enjun was excited, Uzuki Ruri was nervous, and Uchiha Gen was deep in thought.

Uchiha Gen had actually mentally prepared himself for going to the battlefield the moment he graduated.

No true hero is forged in battle.

Going to the battlefield was something that ninjas of this era had to go through, it was just a matter of sooner or later, and it was unavoidable.

"Orochimaru-sensei, which front are we going to? Which unit are we going to join?"

Gen Uchiha asked Orochimaru.

With Sarutobi Enjun there and Nawaki's example serving as a cautionary tale, the Third Hokage is unlikely to assign this team to a dangerous location.

"In the direction of the Land of Rain, the three of you have been assigned to the Strategic Support Force. You won't be on the front lines, but it is still a front line, and the danger there is no less than in the village. When I'm not there, the squad will be under the tactical command of Gen, cooperating with other squads."

Orochimaru responded.

Although he hasn't reached his peak yet, he is already a top-tier expert close to Kage level, unlike ordinary Jonin.

This level of combat power will absolutely not be wasted. The Third Hokage has other plans for him and will not put him with Genin like Uchiha.

As he spoke, Orochimaru summoned a snake and spat out a scroll.

"This is the contract scroll of Ryuchi Cave. Use your blood to leave your names on it, and I will notify the Snake Sage in the cave to activate the Reverse Summoning Technique to bring you in. But before you go in, I must tell you one thing: do not believe anything you see there. Be vigilant at all times, because that place is not so friendly to some ninjas who are not strong-willed or smart enough. Once you go in, it is easy to not be able to get out."

Compared to Mount Myoboku and Shikkotsu Forest, the snakes in Ryuchi Cave are mostly vicious and cruel, and those snake immortals are truly "men who eat people without spitting out the bones".

Orochimaru was alright with Uchiha Gen, but he was still a little worried about the other two and wanted to give them some pointers.

"After passing the Snake Sage's trial, you can truly sign a contract with Ryuchi Cave. However, the snakes there cannot be directly connected to spirits just by signing a contract. Most ordinary snakes are fine and can be tamed through conventional means, or like me, you can modify your body to resemble a snake, which will give you greater flexibility and physical qualities, and at the same time, give you the ability to intimidate and control ordinary snakes."

However, those large serpents with considerable strength require you to defeat them personally to tame them. Even the most powerful serpents, even if you have the strength to defeat them, may not necessarily submit. At most, they will only enter into an equal pact with you, requiring more sacrifices in exchange to persuade them to act.

At this point, Orochimaru took out another scroll and said:

"The snake body modification requires a lot of precious materials. If you are willing, the recipe is here. Take it later. After you have gathered the materials, you can give them to me to mix and help you complete the snake body modification."

The reel was passed from one person to another to the three people.

The process of modifying a snake's body is extremely complicated and involves multiple stages. Each stage requires a considerable amount of medicinal materials, including many rare and precious ones. Orochimaru only managed to perfect this secret technique with the help of his teammate Tsunade.

However, each modification can enhance flexibility and elasticity to a certain extent, and also increase endurance, explosiveness, and agility, as well as enhance resistance to most toxins.

However, even Orochimaru himself has not yet fully completed the transformation—if he could, he would be like the Orochimaru in the original story, who was over fifty years old, able to stretch his neck very long and leap more than ten meters to bite people.

The first few stages of the transformation process were alright. Although it required a certain amount of resources, even the most mediocre-born Uzuki Ruri among the three had the support of a ninja clan behind her. After becoming Orochimaru's disciple, she must have received strong support from her clan. It just took a little more time.

The real challenge of this secret technique lies in the quality of the chakra and the ninja's own will. The secret techniques created by Orochimaru are not simple things. Even this kind of secret technique without side effects can easily fail to be modified if the ninja's quality is not up to standard.

"Now, it's almost time. Are you all ready?"

Orochimaru suddenly spoke to the three of them.

What? Is everything ready?

Gen Uchiha was taken aback, then a sense of calling came over him, and he realized that it was a reverse summoning from Ryuchi Cave.

"Goodbye, Orochimaru-sama..."

Before he could finish speaking, the call suddenly intensified, forcibly summoning Genji Uchiha back to him.

"division--"

"Bang!"

A thick cloud of smoke dissipated, and Uchiha Gen instinctively gripped the hilt of his ninja sword at his waist with his right hand, warily scanning his surroundings.

The surroundings were shrouded in fog, so thick that it was difficult to see with the naked eye; one could only see things up close.

A pair of Sharingan eyes quietly opened, and sensory ninjutsu spread out as well.

In an instant, Uchiha Gen found Sarutobi Enjun and Uzuki Ruri, who had been summoned earlier than him, not far away.

His current strength is greater than that of his two teammates, so his resistance to reverse summoning is naturally stronger. He is not completely powerless to resist until the other party in the summoning increases its chakra output, at which point he is forcibly reverse summoned.

This is actually why a thousand-year-old giant serpent like Manda dared to demand offerings from Orochimaru.

Because he truly has the ability to refuse Orochimaru's summons.

The snakes in Ryuchi Cave don't have the same good temper as the toads of Mount Myōboku, so even Orochimaru often has no choice but to accept it.

However, this time, the one who reversed the summoning of Uchiha Gen was the Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave, who had mastered Sage Mode. He was a high-ranking member of Ryuchi Cave, whom even Orochimaru could not form a contract with, and his strength was far superior to that of Uchiha Gen and others.

Not only could it directly reverse its communication to this place, but it also prevented Uchiha Gen and others from finding its trace.

But one thing is certain: she must be watching them from the mist nearby.

Thanks to Orochimaru's warning before departure, everyone in the team became more vigilant.
