Naruto: Building the Strongest Uchiha Starting with Gacha Pulls

Chapter 98 Meeting

However, regardless of the circumstances, the number of Konoha ninja casualties has been declining sharply recently.

Aside from the initial two or three days when he was extremely busy dealing with a large number of wounded, Uchiha Gen now has enough time for his daily training.

Because he was not in Konoha and had no other Uchiha with the three-tomoe Sharingan to guide him, he only focused on replicating the abilities of young Kakashi after he had become somewhat familiar with Ninja Sasuke's abilities.

With his three-tomoe Sharingan, he could not only personally experience these ninjutsu, but also see everything clearly inside and out.

Aside from techniques involving nature transformation of ninjutsu, all the others were copied by the Sharingan in just one day.

The focus of Uchiha Gen's training was on the nature transformations of Lightning Release and Earth Release.

The former is used for burst attacks and short bursts of speed, while the latter is more versatile and focuses on defense.

He has no shortage of offensive methods, and Chidori is very effective, but Earth Release's defensive capabilities are what he needs most right now.

Currently, the only legitimate defensive measure that Gen Uchiha can use is Rashomon.

The defensive power of the two Rashomon gates is sufficient at the Jonin level, and the activation speed is very fast. Once you are skilled, you can summon them by simply slapping the ground with a little blood on your hand. They are excellent for saving your life in times of crisis, and their potential is also high. Basically, once you reach the third level, they can play a certain role in Kage-level battles.

However, this thing actually has a cooldown period (CD). After it is destroyed, you need to dispel the spirit and let it return to the gate of the Pure Land to be repaired before you can use it again.

However, Earth Release ninjutsu does not have these problems. Although the wind-up may be a bit longer, its potential is actually quite high. It is convenient and easy to use, and can be applied in many scenarios. It can greatly enrich his tactical resources in battle and enhance his self-protection ability.

Riverside.

"Failed again."

Gen Uchiha pulled his hand out of the water; in his palm was a mud brick with slightly crumbling edges.

The second stage of successfully bricking earth is to condense solidified soil that cannot be washed away by water.

In reality, bricks are made by mixing water, pressing them into shape, letting them air dry naturally, and then firing them at high temperatures.

The first two steps are for easier shaping; you only need sufficient chakra control and a certain ability to change shape to pass.

The last two steps are the key to achieving the brick-like nature of Earth Escape.

He needs to use Earth Release chakra to complete these two lengthy processes in a very short time, instantly creating earth and stone with brick-like properties.

Although he failed again this time, Gen Uchiha could feel his own progress.

"At this rate, I should be able to master the brick-forming nature transformation of Earth Escape by next month at the latest. If I have a cultivation acceleration card, this time will be shortened considerably."

Gen Uchiha casually tossed the dirt in his hand onto the ground, looked up at the sky, and pondered silently.

When practicing skills already mastered by a character card, the speed will be much faster than normal practice.

Unlike Fire Release ninjutsu.

He possessed an extremely profound foundation in Fire Release techniques, which enabled him to master it in just one month, and that was only with the help of a cultivation acceleration card; his actual cultivation time was equivalent to three months.

Even Fire Release requires such a long time; if it were Earth Release, which he had no foundation in, he would probably have to train for years. This also aligns with his past assessment of his true aptitude when he was at the Ninja Academy.

Being able to enter the elite class means having the potential to become a Jonin, and one's talent is barely above average, but there is definitely a gap between them and those top geniuses. Without the gacha system as a cheat, if they grow up step by step without dying young, their final achievement will probably be to become an ordinary Uchiha Jonin after adulthood. If they can accidentally unlock the three tomoe, then they will still have a chance to become an elite Jonin, but the probability will be much smaller.

According to Konoha's statistics, the average time required for all Jonin to master a Nature Transformation technique is about two years.

Of course, it's different when you have a character card. This is like being reincarnated and starting over after you've already learned it, walking the same path again. The speed of your cultivation will only be faster than when you first learned the Fire Release: Nature Transformation.

Just as Uchiha Gen was finishing his training for the day, a figure appeared from afar and informed him to attend a meeting.

That morning, Hanzo's envoy returned to Amegakure, and the alliance between Konoha and Amegakure was established. This meeting was to revise and arrange the combat plans within the Land of Rain based on the contents of the alliance.

Special Jonin are qualified to participate in this meeting, not to mention Uchiha Gen's battle record. Apart from his lack of hard indicators such as battle merits and seniority, others have already treated him as a true Jonin.

"Our alliance with Amegakure is not as close as our alliance with Uzushiogakure. Strategically, we will cooperate with each other, but in reality, we will not truly join forces to fight on the same battlefield."

They will not be hostile to each other; both sides will continue to fight their own battles and adhere to the agreed-upon strategic principles.

The meeting was chaired by Kōdō Kōdō. This meeting was simply to lay out the requirements that Mitomon Homura had discussed with Hanzō.

As for Orochimaru and the others, they are still digesting what they learned in that battle. There are no council members, but Gen Uchiha still visits them from time to time. It is estimated that it won't be long before they have finished digesting the lessons.

"According to the alliance, Hanzo will set up a defensive line in the northwest of the Land of Rain to completely blockade Iwagakure. We will also continue to maintain our suppression of Sunagakure. As originally planned, we will launch a pincer attack from the north and south together with Sakumo Hatake from the Land of Wind."

Mumu Gongdao methodically read out the contents of the alliance agreement, and at the same time, assigned tasks to each team according to the details of the agreement.

"First Combat Unit —"

"The mission of the Third Operational Unit is to break through the flank of the position, capture the Asuka Mountains in the south, and cut off the enemy's connection between the two countries to the greatest extent possible. I will personally lead the team."

Uchiha Gen sat at the lower end of the table, looking in the direction of the strokes on the map hanging on the wall, as indicated by Mokume Koto.

The total number of Jonin in Konoha Village is no more than two hundred, while the total number of Jonin on the battlefield in the Land of Rain is only more than thirty, including seven official Jonin of the Third Operational Unit, bringing the total number of ninjas to more than one thousand.

Such a powerful force certainly has a good chance of taking over a mountain range, but the real challenge lies in how to defend it after they have taken it over.

This place is a strategic location that is crucial to military strategists. Once it is captured, Sunagakure will inevitably be forced to launch a decisive battle in order to ensure that its supply lines are not cut off and its logistics are stable.
