What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

Finally, after the five individuals had finished experiencing the event, it was almost noon.

Next, naturally, came a banquet exclusive to the Uchiha clan.

Of course, it wasn't a grand feast—only those with a certain status within the Uchiha clan were invited. The main reason for this was that Uchiha Kai's genjutsu game was too important to the Uchiha clan. 

If it were to be exposed, it would likely provoke the suspicion and wariness of Konoha's higher-ups.

Although not everyone knew, the Uchiha leadership was well aware that while the Uchiha clan were the founders of Konoha, they had always been viewed with suspicion and caution by the village's higher-ups.

In particular, after the death of Uchiha Kagami, a disciple of the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan was confined to the Konoha Police Force, with no access to other departments, which were completely closed off to them.

With no promotion channels and few opportunities to go outside, the Uchiha clan's leadership only had one period where they were allowed to serve actively—during the Ninja World Wars. 

Back then, even graduates from the ninja academy were sent straight to the battlefield, and despite their desire to "protect" the Uchiha, the higher-ups of Konoha had no choice but to send them out.

Thus, every time a Ninja World War occurred, it was the time when the Uchiha clan suffered the most casualties. 

However, each war also saw a sharp rise in their power. After all, for the Uchiha, the "losses" on the battlefield were enormous, and this naturally led to the evolution of their Sharingan.

Under these circumstances, the Uchiha leadership was also cautious of the Konoha higher-ups. 

Although it wasn't as tense as the aftermath of the Nine-Tails Incident, the Uchiha still refrained from sharing the clan's important secrets with Konoha's higher-ups.

However, it was clear that the Uchiha clan's attitude was to keep Uchiha Kai's "secret techniques" reserved only for the Uchiha clan, which was in direct conflict with Uchiha Kai's own plans.

Especially now that the system had issued a new task.

[Main Quest: The First Step in Building a Gaming Empire.

Quest Description: Every game must generate revenue. Only games with a steady income can provide the host with continuous funds, allowing the host to invest more resources into creating new games. Therefore, constructing a platform or channel to sell games is essential.

Quest Requirements: The host must build a platform or channel for selling games and successfully sell at least two games. The price of each game will be automatically estimated based on the current market conditions. The total sales must exceed 100,000 RMB, with no fewer than 500 players. Each player can purchase each game only once, and repeat purchases will not be included in the total sales. The actual price will vary depending on local exchange rates and prices, and the price will be converted into the local currency.

Quest Deadline: 1 month. The final reward will be determined based on the total sales on the settlement date.

Special Note: The system's full functionality will be unlocked after completing this task.]

This is the new task the system just issued. Much like the previous task, the difficulty is quite low by Earth standards. In fact, considering the standards of the system's community, this is a very user-friendly system.

However, in the ninja world, it's a different story.

For an abstract, underdeveloped world like this, the system's requirements, though not excessively high, are still somewhat demanding.

Although the system's expectations are quite relaxed, the Uchiha clan alone can't meet the minimum requirement of 500 people.

After all, while the Uchiha clan is large, even if you include the foreign members through marriage, the total number still doesn't reach 500. There's a gap between this and the system's minimum requirement.

Therefore, in order to complete the system's task, Uchiha Kai must sell the game to the outside world.

Moreover, it couldn't just rely on the Sharingan to match up with everything, as the chakra and ocular power wouldn't be sufficient. 

Uchiha Kai had asked the system about this, and the official games for sale had to be the complete versions. The system also required a minimum of two games, meaning he had to create at least one more game, which would consume even more resources.

The previous method would never be enough in just one month. Uchiha Kai had to immediately implement the plan he discussed yesterday with Minato Namikaze and the others—research into the mass production of Genjutsu-based games.

The most important factor was that the system's final rewards were based on sales, meaning the more games were sold, the greater the benefits Uchiha Kai would receive. 

Moreover, the complete activation of the system's functions depended on this task. 

Although he didn't know exactly what functions the fully activated system would have, based on the benefits already obtained, it was clearly no small matter.

With all these factors combined, how could Uchiha Kai limit the 'secret technique' to just the Uchiha clan?

Therefore, spreading the Genjutsu game to the outside world was a must.

To achieve this, Uchiha Kai had to convince the high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan. 

Although he could force his way through, that would surely offend the Uchiha, and he had just gained great benefits—throwing them away so soon would be a huge loss.

Thinking this over, after the meal, Uchiha Kai found Uchiha Fugaku and asked him to gather the most important Uchiha clan members for a high-level meeting.

Though Uchiha Fugaku didn't know what Uchiha Kai was planning, he knew that Uchiha Kai now had the authority to hold high-level meetings. After all, he had gained the same treatment as the Grand Elder and the Clan Leader.

Thus, a few key Uchiha members, including Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Seijiro, and Uchiha Setsuna, gathered once again in the designated meeting hall. 

Compared to the group earlier that morning, only about a third remained.

Looking at these true leaders of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kai spoke up: "Everyone, you all know about the Genjutsu game I've created. However, there is one thing I must tell you: my secret technique cannot be taught to others."

The group was stunned at this, and they exchanged glances. Then, Uchiha Setsuna spoke in a low voice, "Kai, could you explain why?"

There was no questioning, no anger or pressure; it was simply a desire to understand the reason.

Uchiha Kai opened his one-tomoe Sharingan. "Because the core element of this secret technique lies in my Sharingan, or rather, in the unique abilities that my Sharingan possesses. The power of this eye technique is the key, and this eye technique, I cannot teach to others."

This explanation left the Uchiha clan members dumbfounded, further deepening their confusion.

It was just a one-tomoe, what special power could it possibly have? It wasn't a Mangekyō Sharingan.

For a moment, even Uchiha Fugaku furrowed his brows, as these words seemed more like an excuse to avoid teaching the secret technique.

Although Uchiha Fugaku could accept that Uchiha Kai monopolized the secret technique—after all, it was something he created, so it was only natural for him to keep it to himself—using such a flimsy excuse, was that not insulting? 

We have no enmity, no grudges. Why treat me like a fool?

However, as the other Uchiha members thought this, Uchiha Setsuna, deep in thought, nodded slowly. "I see now. If that's the case, it's understandable. Kai-kun, it seems that with your one-tomoe Sharingan, you've obtained the abilities of the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"This explains why the Genjutsu world created by the genjutsu game was so real, because that's exactly the kind of ability the Mangekyō Sharingan possesses."

"But, because it's only a one-tomoe Sharingan, you need the target of the technique to resist completely, because your Sharingan only has one tomoe, and its ocular power isn't as overwhelming as the Mangekyō Sharingan's."

At that moment, all the Uchiha members looked at Uchiha Setsuna, stunned. Even Uchiha Kai wore a surprised expression.

It was true that Uchiha Kai could not teach others, because the genjutsu game was based on a system-provided skill combined with the Sharingan. 

Without the system's input, this technique could not be taught to others, and thus, they could not use the "secret technique" like he could.

Uchiha Kai had already prepared to prove the truth of his words, even having a method in mind.

However, Uchiha Setsuna had unexpectedly provided the proof, and his reasoning was tied to the legendary evolution of the Sharingan—the Mangekyō. This was completely unexpected.

So, did such a situation already occur in Uchiha history?
