Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Gen Uchiha began to write and draw in a small booklet, summarizing the various resources he currently possessed.

Fire Release ninjutsu is the least lacking.

Before the nature transformations at the Jonin level are involved, even though these different fire release techniques do have some differences, a ninja who can master one fire release ninjutsu will not be much worse at other fire release techniques, as there are many commonalities among them.

Just like himself, after his proficiency with the Great Fireball Technique was enhanced, he also easily mastered the other Fire Release ninjutsu.

In this regard, all I need to do is follow the path summarized by the powerful members of the Uchiha clan throughout history.

After all, when it comes to fire style, the Uchiha are the experts among experts. Even the Sarutobi clan, who are also skilled in fire style, are a bit inferior to the Uchiha in terms of their foundation in fire style.

What he needs to improve are other aspects.

Uchiha Gen placed several ninjutsu scrolls on the table and arranged them in the order he had determined.

At the front were two scrolls and a booklet. One was a C-rank Wind Release: Gale Palm, the other was the Naraku Appearance Technique, and the last one had the words "Uchiha Style Swordsmanship - Part 1" written on it.

Below is a line of small print that reads "Konoha 14th Year Compilation".

According to the elder, the Uchiha-ryu swordsmanship had already taken shape a hundred years ago. During the Warring States period, it was compiled and edited by Uchiha Izuna, the most outstanding swordsmanship master of the Uchiha clan in the past hundred years. Later, in the fourteenth year of Konoha, Uchiha Kagami reorganized and classified it again.

The first part of this book is intended for Uchiha who haven't awakened their Sharingan yet, and its main purpose is to lay the foundation. The subsequent parts are for Uchiha who have awakened their Sharingan.

Whether or not an Uchiha possesses the Sharingan has a significant impact on their fighting style. Relying on their exceptional insight, reflexes, and genjutsu, the Uchiha clan's swordsmanship differs greatly from that of other ninja clans.

However, this does not mean that the first part, which lays the foundation, is not very effective in practical application.

Even without the Sharingan, the Uchiha-style swordsmanship in the previous chapter is still a top-tier swordsmanship in the ninja world, with considerable power, and can be practiced normally like other swordsmanship. It is more than enough even for the Jonin level.

Every top expert, while not necessarily a perfect all-rounder, will never have a significant weakness in any one area. Even if they do, they will have other ways to make up for that weakness.

Otherwise, they would be killed by their enemies before they even became famous, because the enemy would exploit their weaknesses.

The longer a clan like the Uchiha has a long history and produces many powerful ninjas, the more it values ​​the all-round development of young ninjas, and in this way, it has evolved a series of combat systems that have been proven in countless battles.

Finally, Uchiha Gen pulled out two new ninjutsu scrolls.

He didn't plan to use that green skill learning card on any of the other spells.

With his talent and solid foundation, learning C-rank ninjutsu wouldn't be particularly difficult for him.

Five-year-old Itachi Uchiha was able to learn the Great Fireball Technique from Fugaku after watching it only once. Sasuke Uchiha's talent was a notch below his brother's, but he was still a genius recognized by Kakashi. He could breathe fire after watching Fugaku's performance only once, and after practicing hard for an afternoon, he could basically master the ninjutsu. Even the A-rank ninjutsu Lightning Blade, which involves the nature transformation of Lightning Release, was only used in actual combat after a month.

Uchiha Genichiro's talent was only considered above average among his peers. Compared to Sarutobi Enjun and Uchiha Inahisa, he was actually quite inferior, and even two points less than Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi. He only managed to surpass them by relying on the rewards he received from the system's gacha system.

But it wasn't bad at all. At least in the early stages when his level was low and the system provided little help, he did get into the elite class through his own talent and hard work. This meant that in the eyes of the people in charge of selecting the elite class members, his talent actually had the potential to become a Jonin.

He hasn't encountered high-level ninjutsu yet, so he doesn't know for the time being. However, given the time, the lineage, the annotations, and the instruction, learning regular C-rank ninjutsu wouldn't be particularly difficult for Gen Uchiha.

But there are always exceptions to some ninjutsu in this world.

For example, space-time ninjutsu, sensory ninjutsu, medical ninjutsu, and sealing techniques.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is a typical example. No matter how high your talent is, if you don't have the potential, you just can't learn it. The situation is better than with space-time ninjutsu, medical ninjutsu, and sealing techniques. They are not as extreme, but not everyone has the talent to learn them.

This time, Uchiha Gen specifically selected a sensory ninjutsu with a learning difficulty level of C from the clan's archives—at least among those with sensory ninjutsu talent, this technique is considered to be C-level in difficulty.

In fact, Gen Uchiha originally wanted to learn medical ninjutsu to enhance his ability to survive.

He also has Sakura Haruno's character card, even if it's just for a ninja academy student. Sakura was able to grow into the strongest medical ninja besides Tsunade, so her foundation in related fields must have been excellent.

Unfortunately, there weren't any suitable ones.

At that time, none of Hiruzen Sarutobi's three disciples had yet earned the title of the Legendary Sannin, and the medical ninja system had not yet been established by Tsunade.

In other words, at this time, the special ninja profession of medical ninja had not yet appeared. Konoha did have a small number of people who knew medical ninjutsu, but apart from Tsunade, most of them were only half-baked.

Because current medical ninjutsu is not yet systematic, the knowledge is scattered, and the types of ninjutsu are dispersed.

It wasn't until Tsunade, the progenitor of medical ninjas, with her exceptional medical ninja vision, integrated all the knowledge summarized by her predecessors and built a complete medical ninja system that medical ninjas officially stepped onto the stage of the ninja world and played an important role in several ninja wars.

The Uchiha clan has certainly developed its own medical system over hundreds of years of war, but its effectiveness is definitely far inferior to the medical ninja system created by Tsunade.

After realizing that it did not meet his expectations, Gen Uchiha had no choice but to turn his attention to other ninjutsu.

Sealing techniques are difficult to learn, but even more difficult to master. Moreover, before reaching a high level of proficiency, they are not very effective in actual combat. In comparison, sensory ninjutsu and space-time ninjutsu are better solutions.

For Uchiha Gen, the most suitable techniques for him are either space-time ninjutsu or sensory ninjutsu.

The only space-time ninjutsu he can access right now is the Summoning Jutsu.

The function of summoning jutsu is not limited to summoning summoned beasts. Ninja tools, puppets, and even corpses can be summoned. Even the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation, can be classified as a summoning jutsu.

The Uchiha clan is also skilled at using summoning techniques to assist in battle. Their most important technique is a B-rank summoning technique called Lightning Sword Transformation, which can summon a large number of ninja tools in an instant.

For the Uchiha clan, who are masters of using ninja tools, no ninja is more suited to this technique.

The most basic summoning jutsu has a difficulty level of C. For those with the potential in this area, this jutsu is not difficult to learn at all. They only need to meet the basic requirements such as chakra control.

"Let's first test if I have any talent for space-time ninjutsu. If not, I'll use this skill learning card. If I can learn it, I'll use it directly to learn sensory ninjutsu."

Uchiha Gen unfurled a black scroll, thought for a moment, then bit his index finger and wrote his name on the scroll.

The purpose of this scroll was to allow him to establish a contract with a particular raven clan that his tribe was raising.

Once the contract is signed and the leader crow of the clan is successfully summoned, this ninja crow clan will belong to Uchiha Gen—provided he pays a fee, but fortunately the Grand Elder waived it for him.

If new ninja crows join in the future, all you need to do is smear a little of their blood on the back of the scroll.

"Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei"

After writing his name, Uchiha Gen immediately formed hand seals and used the blood remaining on his fingers to perform a spell, slamming his hand on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, black lines appeared, and a plume of smoke rose.

A dozen or so crows appeared in Uchiha Gen's house, cawing and circling inside.

The most robust crow, with glossy feathers, flapped its wings and flew to Uchiha Gen.

Seeing this, Yuan couldn't help but smile. He stretched out his arm and let the ninja crow land on his right arm, while pulling a bag of dried meat out of the drawer with his left hand.

The ninja crow raised its head and cawed loudly. The other dozen or so crows also cawed and landed in front of Uchiha Gen, lining up on the ground.

Gen Uchiha tore open the package of dried meat and fed each crow one by one.

The main purpose of this process is to get closer to the crows and let them become familiar with your scent. When feeding them again, you can simply throw a few packets of food in front of them.

It seems I do have some talent for space-time ninjutsu.

These ninja crows were specially trained by the Uchiha clan. They possess a certain amount of chakra within their bodies, their physical strength surpasses that of ordinary birds, they can understand human speech, and they are familiar with basic tactical commands.

Their combat strength isn't particularly high. If you want to make ninja crows work in conjunction with your ninjutsu and genjutsu like Itachi and Shisui, then the summoner needs to undergo specialized training, which is no less difficult than mastering a high-level ninjutsu.

There aren't many of these ninja crows now. Although they have undergone basic training from the Uchiha clan, their main purpose is still to conduct fixed-range reconnaissance at medium to long distances.

In addition to this reconnaissance plan, there is also some knowledge belonging to the summoner, which can be used to distinguish the content by the loudness, frequency and tone of the crow's call.

For example, the enemy's location, distance, number, and characteristics.

After feeding the ninja crows, Uchiha Gen released the summoning jutsu and took out the last ninjutsu scroll.

This is the sensory ninjutsu. It doesn't have a special name; it's just called Chakra Sensing Technique. At close to medium range, it can vaguely sense the surrounding chakra aura and judge the number and strength of enemies.

Gen Uchiha slowly placed his hand on the scroll.

Use the [Skill Learning Card (Green)]!

……

……

One day later.

With the boost from the skill learning card, he had already mastered the basics of chakra perception after a day of study.

With his current perception abilities, when his perception is activated, he can probably only detect a range of about ten meters around him.

If you want to expand further, you either need to continue to improve your proficiency in this sensory ninjutsu, or you need to use sheer strength to boost your mental power and brute force your way up.

As dawn broke, the sky gradually brightened.

After a day of rigorous ninjutsu training and a night's rest, Uchiha Gen once again prepared his gear and headed to the Ninja Academy.

He has already graduated, so this trip is certainly not for attending school.

The day after their graduation exams, these newly promoted genin were to meet with their respective class instructors.

By the way, pick up your ninja certificate with your own number.

"Ninja ID: 005486".

This is Gen Uchiha's ninja number.

This means he is the 5,486th student to graduate from the Ninja Academy.

Other ninjas from the same cohort, such as Sarutobi Enjun, Aburame Shiki, and Nara Shikaku, all had ninja numbers starting with 54.

It's worth mentioning that a significant portion of Konoha's ninjas did not graduate from the Ninja Academy.

The fact that the latest batch of graduating genin has a number of over 5,000 does not mean that Konoha only has over 5,000 ninjas.

In fact, the Ninja Academy did not have many students in its early days; the first class had only thirty-six people. At that time, all the other Konoha ninjas were trained by their respective clans in their own way.

For a long time afterward, this remained the case until the Third Hokage ordered the Ninja Academy to undergo several expansions and increase enrollment, eventually reaching its current size. Today, it has gradually become the mainstream way for Konoha to train ninjas, and the only way for ordinary people to become ninjas.

It can be said that a large portion of Konoha's ninjas were not trained through the Ninja Academy, but were born through other blood ties, master-disciple relationships, etc., thus forming a huge ninja village with more than 10,000 ninjas.

"We will now begin class assignments."

The person in charge of class assignments was still Menga, the examiner from the previous Chunin Exams.

"Class 1: Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Jonin instructor, Sarutobi Biwako."

"Team 2: Shiki Aburame, Tetsuka Uchiha, Sanae Kazamatsuri, Jonin Instructor, Jacques Inuzuka."

……

"Team 7: Sarutobi Enjun, Uchiha Gen, Uzuki Ruri, Jonin instructor Orochimaru."

I finally heard my own name called.

Why is Orochimaru the Jonin who is my mentor?

Is it a butterfly effect caused by myself?

Uchiha Gen only remembered that Orochimaru had two disciples: one was Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage and Tsunade's younger brother, who died in battle three years ago after stepping into a trap; the other was Mitarashi Anko, who had not yet been born.

And the lineup of this class...

Gen Uchiha glanced at Enjun Sarutobi and Ruri Uzuki.

The former is looking at the latter with a silly grin, seemingly happy to be on the same team as his goddess.
