Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Thick liquid trickled down his skin. Gen Uchiha instinctively reached out to wipe the remaining medicinal soup from his hair, but as soon as he did, he sensed something different from before.

His body movements were extremely fluid. The moment he reached out, Uchiha Gen could feel his muscles become as soft and weightless as if they had turned into liquid.

However, while being highly elastic, it also possesses strong toughness and strength, supporting the overall structure.

Even the most difficult yoga poses are child's play for Uchiha Gen in his current state.

"Hurry up and recover your chakra. The effects of the snake-body soft body modification will only last for three hours. Even if some effects remain after three hours, it will definitely not be enough to get you to Rashomon."

Orochimaru pointed to a towel and a small green bottle next to him as he spoke to the shirtless Uchiha Gendo.

The latter reacted quickly, picked up the two extra buckets of purified water next to him and poured them on himself to wash off the slime. He then grabbed a towel to dry himself off, changed his clothes, and took a soldier's ration pill.

This refers to the Nara clan's premium soldier ration pills. As top-quality soldier ration pills in the ninja world, they allow for the consumption of two pills consecutively within a short period of time.

However, after swallowing this pill, you must wait 24 hours for your body to expel the accumulated toxins before you can take another soldier's ration pill; otherwise, there will still be some negative side effects.

Soon, as the effects of the soldier's ration pills took hold, Uchiha Gen's chakra was replenished once again.

"Remember, the Pure Land is an alternate dimension connected to the Ninja World. In addition to the inherent dangers of Rashomon, there are also Yama Kings who patrol the area at any time to capture souls who are unwilling to go to the Pure Land. If you encounter one, do not provoke him. You carry the aura of the living, and Yama Kings will not provoke you on their own."

What you really need to be wary of are the bewitching and oppressive ringing sounds that come with Rashomon. The Sharingan can give you some resistance to the Yin Release contained within, and your soft snake body can help you better adapt to the shockwaves, but don't exceed three hours. If you can't withstand it, cancel the reverse summoning and return here.

Orochimaru looked at his disciple, took out the Rashomon demon mask scroll, unfurled it, and whispered a reminder.

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei."

Uchiha Gen nodded emphatically, walked to the unfolded scroll, bit his thumb, wrote his name on the scroll, and then slapped it onto the demon mask of the scroll using the hand seals he had learned before.

In the blink of an eye, a plume of smoke rose, and Uchiha Gen's figure vanished from the spot.

……

……

A chilling wind howled, and a biting cold permeated the air.

Uchiha Gen felt a chill run through his body and found himself in the middle of a canyon.

This is a classic narrow passage, with towering cliffs on both sides, leading to even higher mountain peaks.

On the snow-covered mountaintop, a few dim stars shone brightly, protecting the moon and providing a meager glimmer of light to this remote valley.

Uchiha Gen couldn't help but activate his Sharingan, adjusting to the dim environment and looking around, before opening his mouth wide.

"Where the hell did I get here? Is this still the Ninja World?"

In the morning, I sparred and trained with my teammates. Around 8 or 9 o'clock, I went to the Senju family mansion to witness the Nine-Tails transfer ceremony, and then immediately arrived at Orochimaru's house.

The temporary modification that softened the snake's body lasted for a considerable period, but only a few hours.

I just checked the clock on the wall above my bed, and it's only 1 p.m., still a long way from evening.

With such a large time difference and such cold weather, could this place be the polar region?

Gen Uchiha looked up at the sky through the canyon.

Most of the snow and wind above were obscured by the canyon, as was the starry sky. It was impossible to determine one's location based on these things alone.

"Forget it, let's not dwell on these things."

Gen Uchiha looked around again.

There's only one road to take.

Following the direction of this road, the road ahead becomes wider and wider, but the gap in the canyon overhead becomes narrower and narrower, until it finally forms a huge arched cave.

That unsettling, eerie wind blew out from here.

The wind wasn't strong. Unlike outside, the temperature here wasn't as cold as outside because of the shelter from the mountains.

Along with this, there were also scattered green will-o'-the-wisps.

"This is……"

Uchiha Gen entered the cave, wiped the wall with his hand, examined it for a moment, and then began to form hand seals, clapping his hands together.

Wind Release: Gale Palm is activated, and a powerful wind pressure surges from the palm, sticks to the wall, peels off a thin layer, crushes it, and throws it behind.

A ball of will-o'-the-wisp then surged up, and the temperature rose several degrees in an instant.

"really."

A hint of joy appeared in Uchiha Gen's eyes, but this was quickly followed by confusion.

His guess was correct.

The rocks in the mountain contain certain special substances such as phosphates.

When the mountain is weathered and ravaged by these cold winds, the dust that breaks off and flies into the air is blown by the wind and the friction between the particles temporarily raises the temperature, which can then be ignited.

If someone is ignorant or has plenty of money, they might ignore these things, but for Uchiha Gen, these things could potentially be turned into money!

After purification and extraction, the special substances in this powder can be extracted and used as raw materials for making detonating tags.

As war supplies, these kinds of items are definitely subject to extremely strict control. If Uchiha Gen wanted to sell them, he could only sell them to the Konoha government.

However, he wasn't the only one who had been to this place. Uchiha Gen could say that all the high-ranking members of the Hokage faction had definitely been here.

If he were a high-ranking official in Konoha, he would definitely find a way to loot this place clean.

Even though summoning techniques and reverse summoning techniques have limitations in terms of spatial transformation volume and duration, and the location here is unknown, Uchiha Gen believed that these problems could be solved.

Putting everything else aside, at least Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru have been here, and Gen Uchiha has absolute confidence in their abilities.

Is there any other problem?

Uchiha Gen didn't understand, but his snake-body softness effect could only last for three hours, so he had to hurry and didn't have time to dwell on these things.

The eerie wind continued, and the will-o'-the-wisps beside it drifted forward with the wind, illuminating the road as they floated away, like the souls of the deceased.

As you continue down this road, the terrain becomes increasingly lower, and combined with this scene, it feels like walking on the road to the underworld, deep within the earth.

Deeper still, a faint bell finally rang out, like a soul-summoning bell rung by a messenger from the underworld, captivating the soul.
