Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

"Alright, no matter what, we are indebted to you for being able to witness the birth of a powerful ninjutsu and learn it in the process."

Jiraiya's expression turned serious as he addressed Uchiha Genji, then his expression changed instantly, and he chuckled as he said:

"But one thing at a time. Although I believe that with your and Orochimaru's talent, it won't be long before you figure out the last step, Minato and I are still key figures who have put in a lot of effort, right?"

That……"

Jiraiya chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

"How does Jiraiya-senpai want me to repay him?"

"Hehehe, it's nothing serious. Um... are you going to start helping Tsunade out tomorrow?"

"right."

"Could you give me a heads-up about when Tsunade is free, when she's tired or feeling weak, so I can check on my comrade and show off my gentle charm?"

Jiraiya's smile grew increasingly lewd.

"Jiraiya-senpai, why don't you choose another one? After all, with your character, even if you find out, you'd have the desire but not the courage, and even if you had the courage, you wouldn't be able to accomplish anything."

Uchiha Gen, with dead fish eyes, retorted.

Given Jiraiya's personality—which leads him to always run away from emotional problems and cling to wishful thinking—it would be strange if he could win over Tsunade.

If placed twenty or thirty years later in the original timeline, Tsunade and Jiraiya, having experienced the vicissitudes of life, might still accept each other, but that's unlikely now.

Jiraiya is very strong and reliable, but his weaknesses are more obvious.

If he wants backward compatibility, he has options, but Tsunade is not within the scope of backward compatibility.

And what about Tsunade?

His strength is no less than Jiraiya's, and he has unparalleled medical ninjutsu skills. He is also the only remaining descendant of Hashirama Senju, and comes from a noble family.

In terms of strength, family background, and appearance, she is top-tier in the ninja world; the one who should be considered inferior is Tsunade.

But which young girl doesn't dream of love?

People judge by appearance.

Tsunade was only in her early twenties, in the prime of her youth. Compared to Jiraiya, who had a sleazy personality and was not handsome at all, it was clear that someone like Dan Kato, who had both strength and good looks, was more in line with her image of a prince charming.

"Kid, what do you mean by this? Are you underestimating my resolve?"

Jiraiya was also unhappy.

"Hmm... I just feel that taking advantage of someone's weakness is not in line with your style, Jiraiya-sama. Besides, you know Tsunade's personality; she would never be vulnerable."

"Hmm...that's true."

Jiraiya scratched his head and nodded seriously.

With Tsunade's temper, how could anyone possibly take advantage of her vulnerability?

"Well, I was just saying. It was Minato who really helped you. If you need anything in the future, just lend a hand to Minato."

"Don't worry, Jiraiya-senpai, I'll definitely help Minato if he needs anything."

Uchiha Gen nodded and smiled.

That's how human relationships work – it's a give-and-take.

If he and Orochimaru want to gain a more important position and greater influence in Konoha, they must make more friends and gain more support.

The friendship between Jiraiya and Orochimaru was undeniable; otherwise, Jiraiya wouldn't have pursued Orochimaru for over a decade after his defection.

Minato Namikaze was also a top-tier rising star. As a newcomer, he grew into a super strongman capable of influencing the course of the Fourth Shinobi World War in just a few years. After the war, with the support of the Third Hokage, he was able to surpass Orochimaru and become the Fourth Hokage.

Before Naruto was born, the one with the protagonist's halo and the protagonist's script was Minato Namikaze.

"I am the one who should feel indebted, Gen-senpai. To be honest, the moment I saw this technique, I felt that it suited me very well. If I can learn it, it might become my main ninjutsu in battle in the future."

Minato Namikaze scratched his head at Gen Uchiha and said.

"Ah, I also think this technique suits you very well."

"Does Senior Yuan understand my fighting style?"

"I could tell when we rescued Kushina last time that you have a special talent for speed. You were able to keep up with my Instantaneous Movement even before you graduated. I think you might become the second fastest ninja in our village after the Second Hokage."

Uchiha Gen chuckled.

I don't even know when I drew the Flying Thunder God character card.

Only Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze possess the Flying Thunder God Technique, and even with different forms from multiple periods, their numbers are still relatively small compared to the total number of users.

Whether I can win in the future really depends on luck.

"Haha, Minato, I told you, your talent in speed surpasses that of any ninja I've ever seen. You might actually be able to inherit the Second Hokage's ninjutsu."

Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder and said casually.

"Well... I'll thank Jiraiya-sensei and Gen-senpai in advance."

"No need to call me senior, it sounds too formal. Just call me Yuan."

"That makes sense, kid. Stop calling me senior and just call me the handsome, dashing, rich, and powerful Jiraiya-sama."

"Let's just forget about it, Jiraiya-sensei. I guess I'm just too kind. I can't deceive my own heart."

"Hey! You brat, what do you mean?! Explain yourself!"

Jiraiya shouted, but a smile appeared on his face.

The title was changed from "senior" to "teacher"?

That's true, I taught this kid combined ninjutsu, so he wasn't called that for nothing.

Well, if he's willing to admit that I'm handsome and dashing, then I might as well teach him a little more about combination ninjutsu techniques.

……

……

The next day.

After getting out of bed, Uchiha Gen heard the sounds of his two teammates washing up.

"Why are you all up so early today?"

Gen Uchiha looked out the window.

The moon hadn't set yet, and the sky wasn't fully bright. Fine drizzle fell on the window, leaving diagonal streaks.

"After you met with Orochimaru yesterday, he came to see us again. You're being transferred to help Tsunade, and we've also been transferred to other teams by Orochimaru."

Sarutobi Enjun spat out the foam in his mouth, leaned over the sink, and said with excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, although we're not frontline combat troops, we still have plenty of opportunities for real combat training and can receive more guidance from Orochimaru-sensei. Our progress should be much faster!"

Ruri Uzuki's tone was equally enthusiastic.

Recently, her and Sarutobi Enjun's progress has been slower than before.

While it's true that part of the reason is that their own foundation has already been transformed, the presence or absence of Orochimaru's instruction is also crucial.

Not to mention, they will have even more opportunities for real combat than they will in the future.
