Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

After half an hour.

Outside the Thousand Hands Old House.

One after another, ANBU ninjas placed their hands on key nodes nearby. Even in mid-air, several ANBU ninjas, using Super Beast Imitation Drawings or flying summoning beasts, guarded the airspace and were vigilant about their surroundings.

In the courtyard of the old house, Uchiha Gen and his group were brought here by an ANBU member.

Besides Orochimaru's team, there were some other ninjas waiting in the courtyard.

Jiraiya sat on a stone bench with his legs apart, hands supporting his knees, silently watching the hall.

Several elderly ninjas, who looked to be at least fifty or sixty years old, stood together. In addition to the whirlpool symbol of Konoha, their clothes also had the Senju clan crest on their cuffs.

The leader looked to be about the same age as the elder, Uchiha Gen, with gray hair and yellowish age spots on his face, giving him a somewhat somber appearance.

These were all elders of the Senju clan, old acquaintances of Mito and the First Hokage.

Besides them, there was another person whose existence surprised Uchiha Gen, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

Because this person is the son of Uchiha Kagami.

"Is this Brother Chengtang?"

Uchiha Gen addressed a thin young man sitting in the corner.

He was dressed in black, his face was pale, as if he had just suffered a serious illness and would collapse if the wind blew him down, but his face was handsome and delicate, which fit people's image of a gentle and beautiful man.

"Oh, it's Yuan. Cough cough, sorry, I don't usually go out much, and, cough cough cough... we haven't talked much, so I didn't recognize you just now... cough, cough cough cough!"

Uchiha Sumire coughed as he spoke to Uchiha Genji.

He and Uchiha Gen belonged to the same branch of the clan, so he was called his cousin. Even their names were mostly related to water.

However, if we trace their bloodline back to their great-grandfather's generation, the relationship becomes somewhat distant by their generation.

Uchiha Gen rushed forward, straightened Uchiha Sumi, adjusted his posture, patted his back, and helped him regulate his breathing.

His cousin had been born with a congenital disease, making him too weak to become a ninja. He was so weak that he rarely left his house, and Uchiha Gen might only see him a few times a year.

If it weren't for the Uchiha clan's subsidies to its members, and the fact that the clan elders and Konoha's higher-ups all remembered that there was once a powerful Uchiha Kagami who made great contributions in battle, Uchiha Susumu might not even be alive today.

"Brother Cheng, don't speak yet. Do you have any medicine on you?"

Uchiha Gen hurriedly said.

Whenever he opens his mouth to speak, Uchiha Susumu often can't help but cough.

"Ahem, it's right there in my pocket."

Uchiha Gen took several bottles of medicine from Uchiha Susumu's pocket, glanced at them briefly, and then fed the medicine to Uchiha Susumu.

The last thing I took was the cough syrup.

The cough syrup seemed to work quite well. After taking it, Uchiha Sumi, although still coughing a bit, was able to speak more fluently.

"Thank you, Yuan."

"It's alright, Cheng-ge."

Uchiha Sumi smiled at Gen and looked around.

"Those who can get here at this time must all be ninjas who have inherited the Will of Fire of the First Hokage."

The people in the courtyard were either the older generation of Senju, the direct subordinates of the First and Second Hokage, or their disciples and grand-disciples.

These two identities don't necessarily mean that one has inherited the Will of Fire, but once you put on this label, you absolutely cannot say that you are not the inheritor of the Will of Fire!

"Of course!"

Uchiha Gen said decisively, then looked at Uchiha Cheng, a slight smile in his eyes:

"The Will of Fire is everlasting. The Third Lord was the successor handpicked by the Second Lord, and those who can come here are naturally all successors of the Will of Fire trusted by the Third Lord."

Hiruzen Sarutobi is the legitimate successor recognized by the Second Hokage and possesses the highest authority to interpret the Will of Fire at that time. To prove that he is the legitimate successor, he must rely on the Third Hokage.

He himself was the grand-disciple of the Third Hokage, and his teacher Orochimaru was seen by everyone as the successor to the Third Hokage's mantle, even Hiruzen Sarutobi believed so now.

He claims to be the successor to the Will of Fire, and apart from Orochimaru and the Third Hokage, no one can deny that.

As long as it looks convincing, there won't be any problems.

Fortunately, Uchiha Gen grew up under the red flag in his previous life, and his thoughts and daily behavior did not seem to violate this vague and somewhat unrealistic Will of Fire.

Besides, although his grades in political theory courses in his previous life weren't particularly good, he could at least pass. So, he wouldn't have any problem explaining the Will of Fire, which was still quite crudely explained by the Third Hokage, in a way that seemed more mainstream.

"Um!"

Uchiha Sumire nodded emphatically.

He believed it.

Being a grand-disciple of the Third Hokage of the Uchiha clan is a significant advantage, and his gaze and past behavior are also different from those of other clan members.

"Yuan, if you have time, could you please come to me tonight or tomorrow morning? My talents are limited, and I'm not suited to be a ninja. There are some things I'd like to entrust to you; it would be more suitable and valuable for you."

Uchiha Gen's heart stirred.

Born weak and sickly, Uchiha Sumi was not a powerful ninja. What could he possibly have?

Could it be...?

"Yuan doesn't have time tonight, but our team's assembly time is tomorrow afternoon at 2 pm, so we can make it in time tomorrow morning."

Orochimaru's voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting their conversation.

I don't have time tonight? How come I didn't know?

However, since Orochimaru had said so, there might indeed be something going on tonight, so Gen Uchiha had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Okay, then tomorrow morning."

Uchiha Sumire nodded slightly, a smile in his eyes.

at the same time.

Inside the main hall of the Thousand Hands Old House, all the clutter had been cleaned up, leaving only complex and mysterious sealing runes, layered upon layer, finally converging at the very center.

These sealing runes are used to suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra.

In the very center, on a pristine white bed.

Mito Uzumaki leaned against the bed, peacefully comforting Tsunade and Kushina who were attending to her.

Tsunade is her granddaughter, her only living direct blood relative. At present, before Kushina has grown up, she is also among the top sealers in Konoha Village after Mito, and is the assistant who helped Uzumaki Mito complete the seal transfer.

Kushina Uzumaki was one of the main characters in this ritual and was treated as Mito's daughter. The two came from the same Uzumaki clan and had a close blood relationship.

Beyond the sealing runes that filled half the room, stood a group of Konoha's high-ranking officials.
