Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Deep in the oak forest.

Water droplets the size of soybeans streamed through the gaps between the leaves, splashing onto the ground.

On a puddle, several feet clad in ninja gear swiftly waded across the water, creating ripples that left no footprints, as light as feathers.

Several Rain Village ninjas, wearing breathing masks and straw hats, formed a line and moved through the rain.

Using chakra to climb trees and wade through water is a required course for most senior genin and above, and their squad could be considered an elite force even within Amegakure.

"Captain, should we take a break for a while? Lianyu's sensory abilities can't be maintained for long; she needs time to recover her chakra."

A short, stout Rain Village ninja asked the captain, who was holding an umbrella at the front of the group, while occasionally glancing back at a tall female Rain Village ninja behind him.

"No, the reconnaissance mission is complete. It is now confirmed that Konoha has mobilized other troops to seal the gaps in the position. We need to bring back the enemy's deployment information we found. The next thing to do is to hurry, because if their deployment changes again, the intelligence may become invalid."

The sound came through the gas respirator and sounded particularly muffled.

"But this is still Konoha's defense zone. If we don't detect and scout in time, we may not be able to bypass the blockade."

Another young Amegakure ninja carrying a ninja sword chimed in.

The last remaining Amegakure ninja remained silent, but nodded in agreement.

The Rain Ninja captain leading the group stopped and looked at the Rain Ninja standing in the very center of the group.

"Yu Lian, how much chakra do you have left? Whether the team should rest or continue returning depends on your condition."

"It's not good. I've already taken two soldier pills. If I continue to take them, my internal organs will be put under even greater strain. If possible, I'd like to rest here for half an hour. But before that, I can use my sensory ninjutsu one last time to scout the surroundings and check for any potential dangers."

The female rain ninja also stopped and answered.

In the woods not far away.

Uchiha Gen, with his crimson Sharingan eyes wide open, silently observed the four Rain Ninja.

They must have already penetrated into Konoha's territory from other directions to carry out some missions. Judging from their direction of travel, it is easy to determine that they are on their way back after completing their mission.

With his sensory abilities, he could roughly judge that these people were not mediocre by the quality and quantity of their chakra.

Especially the leader, who exuded a subtle sense of threat.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far to hear the voices of the Rain Village ninjas clearly. Even with his Sharingan activated, Uchiha Gen couldn't read their lips because they were wearing breathing masks.

Gen Uchiha raised his head, shook his head at Ruri Uzuki who was hiding in the treetops above, and made a few tactical hand gestures.

Track, keep watch, request backup, and coordinate a joint blockade from the front.

The enemy leader is definitely very strong, and he may not be confident of victory. They also outnumber the enemy, so their squad will have a hard time taking them down.

Did you just glance at it and immediately request support?

Ruri Uzuki glanced at the location of the Rain Village ninja, then released a few small snakes to notify the nearby teams.

Since the enemy is on their territory and hasn't discovered them yet, the best option is to notify teammates in other teams, have them follow the marks left by their own squads, and gather their forces to surround and kill them from the front.

However, this is only the most ideal situation.

After a brief discussion among the Rain Village ninja, the Rain Village captain quickly issued the order.

"Alright, then we'll go with your assessment. Yulian, use your senses to scout; the rest of you, stay put and keep watch!"

The four Rain Ninjas scattered immediately, becoming fully alert.

The female rain ninja sat down under the protection of the four, formed hand seals, and closed her eyes.

"That's... a sensory ninjutsu that's been actively triggered?"

A subtle perceptual fluctuation emanated from him. Although Uchiha Gen didn't notice it, a bad premonition immediately rose in his heart. He simply reached out and gave a hand gesture to his teammate, and then he also formed hand seals, mobilized his chakra, and finally maintained the [Tiger] seal, with his two index fingers forming a triangle, pointing at his mouth.

This is a common sign that a Fire Release ninjutsu is about to be unleashed.

In just a few seconds, the female Rain Ninja opened her eyes in a panic and looked in the direction of Uchiha Gen.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Before most of the Rain Ninja could react, a huge fireball nearly ten meters in diameter flew toward the female Rain Ninja with sensory abilities.

Except for the team leader, Yu Ren, who was holding an iron umbrella.

"Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!"

Almost in the time it takes to breathe, a water-style attack, not very large in volume but with considerable force, was expelled from its mouth, directly meeting Uchiha Gen's fire-style attack head-on.

It's just a basic water-style ninjutsu used to activate quickly. How could its power compare to the Great Fireball Technique, which Uchiha Gen had been building up for a long time and even enhanced by putting oil in his mouth?

The hissing sound of steam filled the air. The other four Rain Ninja, finally realizing what was happening, immediately split into two groups. Three of them rushed towards Uchiha Gen, while the last one, a fat Rain Ninja, rolled in front of the Sensory Female Ninja, drew his iron umbrella, and opened it to block the two of them.

The fireball, its power somewhat diminished, exploded, evaporating a large amount of water vapor from the accumulated water and rainwater.

"Clang!"

The red-hot iron umbrella shattered into several pieces, falling to the ground where it was quickly cooled by the newly falling raindrops.

The fat Rain Ninja had multiple wounds on his body, and the sensory female ninja behind him had already gotten up and stuffed a soldier's ration pill into her mouth.

At this point, there's no time to worry about the negative effects of the accumulated medicinal properties from the excessive use of soldier pills on the internal organs. If there isn't enough chakra to participate in the upcoming battle, then death is certain.

If you manage to win, it just means your body cells and digestive system have been overworked and you'll need some time to recover; you might be bedridden for two or three days.

"what!"

Almost simultaneously, screams rang out.

Sarutobi Enjun and Uzuki Ruri attacked together, one with a staff and the other with a sword, successfully launching a sneak attack while Uchiha Gen was distracting the enemy and forcibly killing one of them.

Can fight!

This thought flashed through Gen Uchiha's mind.

One of the opponents is dead, one is injured, and there is also a sensory ninja who is not in good condition and has low chakra levels.

Although our side has fewer people, each of them is at their peak condition.

Fighting directly doesn't necessarily mean we'll lose.

Moreover, this is their territory, and reinforcements will arrive within five minutes!
