Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Orochimaru looked at Uchiha Genji and said.

He wasn't worried about Uchiha Gen's safety. If he couldn't even protect himself in a place like that, then he wouldn't deserve all the effort he put into preparing this temporary snake-body softening and modification potion.

One of the real reasons Orochimaru put so much effort into preparing this potion was that he wanted to see if Gen Uchiha had a chance to form a second Rashomon.

Orochimaru himself wasn't sure about this either, believing the probability of success or failure was about 50/50.

Fortunately, it was ultimately successful.

"By the way, Orochimaru-sensei, I have a question."

Uchiha Gen suddenly asked Orochimaru.

"speak."

"The mountains there must contain rich mineral resources, why not try to extract them...?"

"Because it's not suitable."

Orochimaru answered directly:

"The minerals there are diverse and the refining process is complicated. In addition, the distance is so far that the cost is very high. For Konoha, it is better to directly purchase the output of the mines within the Land of Fire."

Most importantly, the area has been subjected to intense Yin Release chakra erosion for a long time. If it is extracted and made into explosive tags, the nature of Yin Release will overwhelm the nature of Fire Release, resulting in an extremely unstable sealing structure for the explosive tags, making it impossible to produce a qualified finished product.

The Second Hokage also set up a research project to address this issue, aiming to solve the series of problems mentioned above. The cost of refining could be reduced by improving the process. As for the transportation problem, the Second Hokage also proposed a solution, based on the Flying Thunder God Technique, to propose a simplified version of the Flying Thunder God Formation for multi-person collaboration, in order to achieve long-distance, large-scale time-space transportation.

However, the last problem was something that even the second generation couldn't solve. I tried to take over this research project, but I couldn't find a solution, so I had to put it aside in the end.

After all, while explosive tags are precious, they aren't in short supply in Konoha.

So that's how it is. Even the idea for the Flying Thunder God Formation was proposed at this time.

Uchiha Gen nodded knowingly.

Orochimaru then said:

"You can stay here with me tonight. Your health has been affected to some extent. Since Lady Mito has just passed away, I won't trouble Tsunade to treat you. I'll help you recover after the softening effect wears off."

Orochimaru is an all-rounder like Tobirama Senju. While his achievements in medical ninjutsu are far from comparable to Tsunade's, they are still quite high. With his abilities, he can easily resolve the slight abnormalities in Gen Uchiha's body.

midnight.

After being treated by Orochimaru, Uchiha Gen leaned against the headboard of the bed in the guest room and closed his eyes.

It's been upgraded again.

The rescue of Kushina was classified as an A-rank mission by the Third Hokage, and there was still a considerable amount left over after the upgrade.

This Nine-Tails Jinchuriki transfer ceremony was also considered a large-scale joint mission.

Even though Uchiha Gen was only in charge of a small part of the hundreds of defense personnel, and was not as deeply involved as last time, he was still able to reach level twelve because the mission level was high enough and he had the surplus from before.

[Use the current number of draws?]

【Yes】

[System extraction in progress...]

[Obtained: Item Card: Premium Soldier Rations x5 (White)]

[Item Description: Using this item will grant you three high-quality soldier ration pills.]

Soldier's rations?

I've really gotten into this stuff today. First, I used two of Orochimaru's premium Nara clan ration pills, and now I've drawn five more.

Although the quantity is not large, based on the previous draw of the explosive tag and other past lottery experiences, even if it is white, the quality will not be too bad.

At least the quality is higher than the market average, so the products from this system are guaranteed in this respect.

As for its effectiveness, Uchiha Gen didn't know if it could compare to the Nara clan's premium soldier rations.

He estimated that he couldn't beat them.

However, we should wait and see how it goes.

[Use this item card?]

【Yes. 】

Five jet-black, translucent pills appeared in Uchiha Gen's palm, emitting a refreshing yet slightly bitter medicinal aroma.

"The smell and color are both quite nice."

Gen Uchiha reached out and scraped off a bit of powder with his fingernail, then put it in his mouth.

Hmm, it really does taste awful.

After taking it, a slight warm current quickly rose from Uchiha Gen's abdomen.

While its effects were indeed inferior to the premium soldier pills of the Nara clan, it was still quite good. It surpassed most brands on the market and deserved the title of "high-quality." At least it was slightly better than the soldier pills I bought from Elder Uchiha Gen. A rough calculation showed that it was worth quite a bit of silver, especially in an era when the prices of related items were skyrocketing.

"Speaking of which, since we're leaving for the front lines tomorrow, there are some things that need to be prepared by tomorrow, as we won't be able to replenish them later."

Thinking about money, Uchiha Gen pondered for a while, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, early morning.

Gen Uchiha got up early and followed Orochimaru to the training ground to warm up with his two teammates and get into shape.

Although the snake-like softening effect had ended, some of the modification effects remained, allowing Uchiha Gen to clearly feel a slight increase in his flexibility and physical strength.

After the warm-up activities, the team temporarily disbanded.

Orochimaru, as the leader of the Jonin team, still had things to do, and his teammates were also returning to their respective homes to make final preparations in the last few hours before setting off to play the early game.

The first thing Uchiha Gen did after the disbandment was to go to the clan's base to train and sell ninja crows.

If they go to the front lines, there won't be another chance to buy them. If we rely solely on the ninja crows to breed, it will take an unknown amount of time to train a qualified ninja crow team.

After a period of training and conditioning, the dozen or so ninja crows had developed a certain tacit understanding with him, and he could begin to train them in some ninjutsu and genjutsu that could be performed in coordination with the ninja crows.

The reward for this mission, plus the remaining war subsidies from the clan and some savings from the past, successfully doubled the number of ninja crows under Uchiha Gen's control, bringing the total to thirty, which was quite usable.

After settling the newly acquired ninja crows, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

The time that had been agreed upon with Uchiha Sumi had arrived.
