Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

"Great, talking to smart people is so easy, much easier than talking to that idiot Jiraiya."

Orochimaru watched the crowd gradually recover at the end of the street and waved to Uchiha Gen.

Soon, the two arrived at Orochimaru's house.

Although he is only in his early twenties, and in his previous life he would have been a rookie who had just graduated from university for less than two years, Orochimaru has now been a Jonin for a full ten years. He is one of the few high-level combatants in Konoha who is close to the Kage level. His assets are probably more than those of some small ninja clans, so his place of residence is naturally not bad either.

The most striking feature here is its size. It's as if Orochimaru bought several surrounding houses, knocked down the walls, and made the interior a single, unified space.

Secondly, it is diverse, but not chaotic.

All sorts of incomprehensible experimental instruments, ninjutsu tools, and sealing scrolls were neatly arranged everywhere, a dazzling array of items.

"Come with me, everything is ready. Tonight should be the time for you to master the Rashomon ninjutsu."

Orochimaru first had Gen Uchiha undergo a full-body disinfection and changed him into sterilized clothes before they entered a room.

In the very center of the room was a large wooden barrel, big enough to hold an adult, with firewood piled underneath.

Next to it were packets of medicinal herbs, each emitting a different aroma.

"Orochimaru-sensei, is this... a snake-body soft modification?"

"Uchiha Gen asked curiously."

"That's right, but I asked Tsunade to change the formula and the effects based on your physical condition. This snake-body soft body modification is different from the one I gave you before. Its effect is temporary, but with your current chakra strength and physical condition, after absorbing the medicine, it can temporarily soften your body for two hours, making it strong enough to withstand the first Rashomon."

Orochimaru picked up a medicine packet from the side, opened it, threw it into the wooden barrel, and then gave the order.

"Go and fill this wooden bucket to about five-tenths full with the purified water from those large experimental bottles on the side."

"Yes."

Gen Uchiha ran to the side and poured the water from several transparent bottles into the wooden bucket.

Orochimaru had clearly made preparations in advance for this temporary snake-body soft modification. To ensure that the effect would not be affected, even the water was pre-distilled pure water.

The other things here, I guess, have been treated just like the clothes I'm wearing.

"Fire Release: Fire Walk".

As Orochimaru continued pouring herbs into the wooden tub, he formed a hand seal and spat out a thin line of fire, like a nimble fire snake, which coiled around the outside of the tub and also ignited the firewood underneath.

This is to heat the medicine in the wooden barrel as quickly as possible and to better control the temperature.

Gen Uchiha couldn't help but activate his Sharingan, watching Orochimaru's actions.

This fire-style technique may not seem very powerful, but it demonstrates an extremely high level of skill in fire-style transformation, allowing the flames to be controlled so flexibly.

"Close your Sharingan. I'll teach you later. Don't waste your chakra now."

After Orochimaru stopped heating, he took a bottle of slightly fishy-smelling slime from the table next to him and poured it into the mixture. He then took a glass rod and began to stir it.

"Go and take one of the soldier ration pills from the green bottle on the table, so you don't run out of chakra later."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Gen noticed the only green bottle on the table.

Upon opening, a pleasant fragrance wafts out.

These are Nara clan's refined soldier rations, usually sold in limited quantities. Each one is worth as much as a high-quality explosive tag. Not only do they restore chakra faster than ordinary soldier rations, but they also restore a much larger amount. Most importantly, they are mild in nature, so even if you take a second one in a short period of time, it will not cause much side effect to your body.

There are five of them in total.

Not long after swallowing one, Uchiha Gen felt his body slightly warm, and a warm current rose from his abdomen.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru had already prepared the medicinal soup.

The pale green soup was bubbling away at high temperature, looking slightly viscous.

"Take off all your clothes, bite this and then crawl inside, including your head."

Orochimaru tossed a bamboo straw to Gen Uchiha and said.

The latter didn't care that Orochimaru would see it. He immediately stripped naked, took a deep breath, bit the end of the bamboo straw tightly, and plunged into the medicinal soup.

Upon entering, Gen Uchiha knew that the bamboo straw was not only for maintaining his breathing, but also for use as a chewing stick.

It hurts so damn much!

It wasn't just one or two places that hurt; it hurt all over my body. It felt like snake venom was invading my body, spreading from the outside in, through the medicine.

"Don't be foolish and try to tough it out. Quickly gather chakra to strengthen your body, alleviate the pain, and speed up the absorption of the medicine."

Orochimaru's voice reached Uchiha Gen's ears through the water, sounding somewhat muffled and distorted, but still audible.

As the chakra was extracted, Uchiha Gen endured the excruciating pain underwater, and with trembling movements, he raised his hands to form hand seals, mobilizing the chakra and channeling it into his meridians.

The pain lessened considerably, and Gen Uchiha's hand seal speed increased, eventually returning to the normal underwater hand seal speed.

At this point, although the pain was still intense, perhaps because he had gotten used to it, or perhaps because it was within his threshold range, Uchiha Gen felt that he could still endure it.

Fortunately, after Orochimaru's hellish training and obtaining Madara Uchiha's character card, Gen Uchiha's chakra quality was much stronger than before; otherwise, he would definitely be in unbearable pain right now.

However, the chakra was also consumed very quickly, like a flood that had been unleashed.

Although it wasn't as frequent as directly unleashing powerful ninjutsu, it was still continuous.

The refined military ration pill from the Naraku clan that he had taken also came into play at this moment, continuously restoring Uchiha Gen's chakra. Although it was not as much as he had digested, it would definitely allow Uchiha Gen to hold on for a while longer.

Outside the wooden barrel, Orochimaru would occasionally look up at the clock on the wall to calculate the time, and judge the absorption effect of the medicine by the color and concentration of the liquid.

After a long while, the medicine in the wooden bucket changed from its previous pale green color to become somewhat transparent.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen, who was inside the wooden barrel, also felt the pain rapidly subsiding.

The medicinal properties have been absorbed to a certain extent, and some of the medicinal properties in the barrel have also evaporated due to the high temperature.

"That's fine."

Orochimaru's hoarse voice reached Minato's ears again, and Uchiha Gen, who was in the medicinal soup, suddenly pushed his head out.
