Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

"Ding-a-ling~"

"Ding-a-ling~"

The clear sound of bells came from deep within the cave, carried by the eerie wind.

Uchiha Genji couldn't help but frown, instinctively feeling uneasy, as if something had passed by. His body and mind were also affected by the ringing, and he gradually slowed down.

Looking around, the environment was exactly the same as before. Looking up, there was nothing in the vast cave.

No... there's still something there!

With the tomoe spinning in his Sharingan, Gen Uchiha strained his eyes to see a blurry shadow sticking out a long tongue, drifting through the air toward the end of the road.

"That's... Yama, the King of Hell!"

The Rinnegan possesses the power to connect life and death, and Yama, the King of Hell, is likely part of the Pure Land, responsible for guiding the spirits of the dead at the gate between life and death. Therefore, he can be summoned and manipulated by the Rinnegan.

Remembering Orochimaru's instructions before he set off, Gen Uchiha ignored King Yama.

As long as you're alive, even the King of Hell won't bother with you.

"Ding-a-ling~"

"Ding-a-ling~"

The ringing grew clearer, and Uchiha Gen slowed his pace once more.

At the far end of the view below, a magnificent gate stands tall.

The grinning ghost face seemed to mock all the souls about to enter the Pure Land, with long, protruding spikes along its edges, and was entirely red.

According to Konoha's records, the colors of the first five Rashomon gates were red, green, blue, cyan, and brown, respectively.

Once summoned, the gate itself possesses a certain level of defensive power, which can be enhanced based on the quality of the user's chakra. However, there is an upper limit to this power. Unless a subsequent Rashomon is summoned, the defensive power can be further strengthened. During the Chunin Exams, the first Rashomon summoned by Sakon was dented by Kiba Inuzuka, who was using his full strength at the time. But if it were Hashirama Senju, even if he only summoned the first gate, it would be impossible for it to be damaged by an attack of that level.

Once damaged, simply dispelling the ninjutsu will cause Rashomon to return to the gate of the Pure Land, where it will self-repair in its unique environment.

The unsettling ringing sound came from the bells hanging from the eaves of Rashomon.

"The ringing bell does indeed contain powerful Yin Release chakra, which oppresses the mind like a genjutsu, but it is still bearable."

Gen Uchiha lowered his gaze slightly and looked at his own body.

Even after undergoing temporary modifications to soften the snake's body, the discomfort intensified as he approached Rashomon, fueled by the vibrations of the bell.

The skin surface was now rippling like the surface of a liquid after being vibrated, and the burden on the body's internal organs was also considerable.

Without the buffer protection of the snake-like body softening modification, even if I could reach the door, I would definitely suffer extremely serious internal injuries from the shock.

Fortunately, reality is not a matter of "what if".

The bell continued to ring at a steady, unhurried pace.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Uchiha Gen's forehead.

With heavy yet firm steps, I finally arrived at Rashomon.

With his hands forming a mudra, a thin but sharp wind blade emerged from his palms, slicing through them.

Gen Uchiha changed his hand seals again.

"Snapped!"

Crimson blood gushed out and was pressed against Rashomon.

Currently, Rashomon is being infused with blood containing his own chakra. Once Rashomon absorbs his blood, he will be able to establish a connection and form a contract with him.

Blood rapidly seeped into the demonic face on the gate, and a mysterious feeling arose in Uchiha Gen's mind.

"open."

Uchiha Gen spoke softly.

The gaping, grotesque gate slowly opened its massive maw.

The harsh, metallic sound emanated from Rashomon as it opened, as if a demon from the depths of hell awaited behind the door.

Now, he is qualified to form a second Rashomon.

Should we try again?

An idea arose in Gen Uchiha's mind, and he quickly made a decision.

go with.

Of course I'll go.

Although this is uncomfortable, he hasn't reached his limit yet.

Thanks to the effects of that refined soldier's ration pill, his remaining chakra was still within a relatively safe range.

The effect of this snake-like soft body modification is not something that can be easily achieved again.

Although Orochimaru didn't say it, Gen Uchiha had also learned medical ninjutsu from Tsunade and had a certain level of basic pharmacological knowledge. He knew how precious the things Orochimaru had prepared for him were, and how much effort it would take to modify such a formula.

Uncle Snake now truly considers himself his disciple, and such an opportunity may not come again for a long time to come.

Based on the time estimated by his own heart rate, at most only half of the three hours have passed, and it is likely to be less, because Uchiha Gen made a conservative estimate based on the upper limit of human heart rate.

It would be such a waste to end this here with so much time left.

As long as you can cancel the Reverse Summoning Jutsu and return to Konoha before you can't hold on any longer, there won't be any loss.

Soon enough, Gen Uchiha began to suffer.

On the road ahead, he would have to endure double the interference from the bells from both directions, and the intensity of Yin Release chakra in the air would also increase. Along with this, the resentment of countless spirits left behind in the human world would gather and interfere with his mind.

An hour and a half later.

Uchiha Gen practically crawled to the second Rashomon gate.

Even though the softening effect of the snake's body hadn't ended yet, he felt that his internal organs seemed to have shifted slightly due to the powerful vibrations of the bell, and he needed to be treated as soon as possible.

But at least we've gotten here.

"Snapped!"

The blood on his palm stained Rashomon once again.

Upon seeing the gate to the demon's mouth open again, Gen Uchiha could no longer hold back. He immediately released the Reverse Summoning Jutsu and returned to Orochimaru's residence.

At this moment, Orochimaru was still waiting here, wearing a pair of white gloves, standing in front of the table manipulating the experimental equipment, seemingly preparing something.

Upon seeing Uchiha Gen's appearance, Orochimaru stopped what he was doing and looked Uchiha Gen up and down a few times.

He was disheveled and exhausted, but nothing serious.

"After using it for so long, are you going to contract the second door?"

Orochimaru put down the test tube in his hand and asked Uchiha Gen.

"We succeeded by sheer luck."

Uchiha Gen rolled over on the ground.

It was indeed a stroke of luck; he felt like he was being tortured by that ear-piercing demonic sound to the point of almost awakening his two-tomoe Sharingan.

"It would be good if you could successfully contract the second gate. With your current chakra quality, summoning two Rashomon gates would be impossible to break through this defense unless you have the destructive power of a Jonin."
