Uchiha Fugaku: I'm Not Well-Read, Don't Lie to Me

It wasn't easy finding Uchiha Clan members to play the game with. The Uchiha Qi approached showed no interest in his game; some even mocked him mercilessly or openly displayed their disdain.

It wasn't that Uchiha Qi's popularity had truly plummeted to the point of being universally disliked. In fact, if he really searched, there were quite a few Uchiha who would be willing to play the game he created.

However, those Uchiha were just ordinary clan members. To complete the task most efficiently, Uchiha Qi sought out the stronger Uchiha who had already awakened their Three Tomoe Sharingan.

As is well known, the Uchiha are a proud clan, and a characteristic of theirs is their respect for strength. It's a classic case of the strong being revered, though without the 'survival of the fittest' brutality often seen in traditional fantasy novels.

As a low-ranking member of the clan, Uchiha Qi had to endure being looked down upon by those Uchiha who possessed the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Although these grown Uchiha wouldn't bully Uchiha Qi, when he proactively approached them, claiming to have developed a unique Genjutsu Game that required them to completely drop their guard and allow his Sharingan to cast Genjutsu to start the game…

Seriously, if Uchiha Qi hadn't been an Uchiha himself, he probably would've been beaten up.

You want to cast Genjutsu on a powerful Uchiha and tell them not to resist, just so they can cooperate and play a game?

My dear!

If you're not fully awake, please go back to sleep. Thank you!

Or are you trying to deliver the ultimate insult to the proud Uchiha?

Furthermore, powerful Uchiha are key individuals whom the clan focuses on nurturing and utilizing. Their daily tasks and training schedules are completely packed, and even during their breaks, they have their own social circles.

When a generally unpopular clan member like Uchiha Qi suddenly made such outrageous requests, which powerful Uchiha would give him the time of day?

Thus, the plan to find powerful Uchiha to play the game, quickly gather emotional value, and complete the mission, failed.

However, Uchiha Qi wasn't surprised by this. After all, having transmigrated for eighteen years, how could he not know the Uchiha's nature?

His search for powerful Uchiha was merely to see if anyone was in a good mood and had spare time.

Since that failed, he decided to activate his backup plan.

Immediately, Uchiha Qi, having completed all his work for the day, requested leave from the Konoha Military Police Force.

The process was smooth; his superior didn't care about Uchiha Qi's leave, as he had already finished his work.

In fact, if it weren't for strict regulations requiring him to be at the Konoha Military Police Force every day, Uchiha Qi could go home early after completing his work.

After all, in his superior's eyes, the work Uchiha Qi was currently doing was nothing short of an insult and a form of banishment from the Uchiha Clan. Any normal Uchiha would find it unbearable, so for Uchiha Qi to calmly complete his work every day was already an excellent performance.

Well, it just goes to show that different values lead to entirely different perspectives.

Even a supremely easy job could be looked down upon, which only proves that the Uchiha Clan is truly ambitious and eager for progress.

After leaving the Konoha Military Police Force, Uchiha Qi headed directly to the Uchiha Clan compound, and he soon found the person he was looking for.

It was still an Uchiha Clan member, but not an ordinary one. It was Uchiha Fugaku, the next head of the Uchiha Clan—seemingly a hardliner within the clan, but in reality, a compromiser who, in the future, would offer no resistance to his own filial son's massacre of the Uchiha.

Of course, the Uchiha Fugaku of today was not that future version. The 28-year-old young clan head was still quite sharp and full of vigor, having already earned the name 'Fierce Eye' in the Ninja World.

Both were Uchiha, but Fugaku fully demonstrated the reality that the Ninja World is a place of bloodlines—as the young clan head with the purest bloodline, Uchiha Fugaku's Three Tomoe Sharingan was noticeably stronger than the Three Tomoe Sharingan of other Uchiha. Because of this, Uchiha Fugaku's prestige within the clan was not low; at least most of the younger generation of Uchiha looked up to him.

As clan head, Uchiha Fugaku was also not as emotionally inept as typical Uchiha, who would treat everyone with equal arrogance. He was very pleasant to all Uchiha, from top to bottom, making people feel incredibly comfortable, even those at the lowest ranks of the clan.

It was precisely because of this that Uchiha Qi, as a transmigrator, successfully built a good relationship with Uchiha Fugaku.

Additionally, Uchiha Fugaku had a good relationship with Minato Namikaze; the two were also private friends. As Minato Namikaze's close friend, Uchiha Fugaku was the only Three Tomoe Sharingan Uchiha within the clan who would befriend Uchiha Qi.

Uchiha Qi came to Uchiha Fugaku this time because he felt it was difficult to promote the game directly within the clan. He planned to take a roundabout approach, promoting the game with Uchiha Fugaku's help.

Of course, Uchiha Fugaku, an excellent provider of emotional value, was not to be missed. The 28-year-old young clan head also possessed the strength of an Elite Jonin. Although his power might not equal Minato Namikaze's, the emotional value he provided would certainly not be far behind.

When Uchiha Qi found Uchiha Fugaku, the 28-year-old young clan head was practicing Taijutsu in the clan's indoor training ground.

The training ground was exclusive to the clan head, not for public use, and as the young clan head, Uchiha Fugaku naturally had the right to use this facility.

As the young clan head, he also had the right to have attendants nearby, but he didn't like this, so he would always have others leave during his training sessions.

When Uchiha Qi saw Fugaku, he found Fugaku training alone, drenched in sweat.

Noticing Uchiha Qi's arrival, Uchiha Fugaku stopped his training and walked curiously towards Uchiha Qi. "Qi-kun, is there something you need to see me about at this hour?"

Uchiha Qi immediately smiled. "Young Clan Head, you know I'm very skilled at thinking and creativity. For the past two years, I've been exploring and developing my Sharingan Genjutsu, and I've really discovered some things, creating a unique secret Sharingan technique."

"I've named it 'Genjutsu Game,' a technique that can bring people into a virtual yet realistic Genjutsu world."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku nodded in approval, as he knew that Minato Namikaze's Rasengan was developed by Uchiha Qi. Therefore, he completely trusted Uchiha Qi's creative ability in techniques.

The only pity was probably that Uchiha Qi, despite possessing such talent, had very low ninja potential. Otherwise, Uchiha Qi would have a high probability of growing into the Tobirama Senju of the Uchiha Clan.

Well, this kind of false genius filter wasn't exclusive to Minato Namikaze; Uchiha Fugaku also had it.

So, Uchiha Fugaku was not at all surprised that Uchiha Qi could develop a secret technique. Instead, he was very curious: "So, what is the purpose of this Ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Qi replied, "Well… you'll know the specifics once you experience it, Young Clan Head. All I can say is that Minato experienced it this morning and said it was excellent. He gained a lot from it, and if he didn't have other things to do this afternoon, he would have continued to enjoy the Genjutsu Game."

By immediately bringing up Minato Namikaze as his trump card, Uchiha Qi believed Fugaku would be absolutely unable to resist the temptation.

As expected, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He rubbed his chin and said, "A Genjutsu that even Minato praised? And he wanted to keep playing? It sounds a bit like something that leads to neglecting one's duties."

"But for something to make even Minato linger, it must not be a low-level game."

At this point, Uchiha Fugaku asked curiously, "So, you want me to experience this Genjutsu Game you're talking about?"

Uchiha Qi nodded, subtly revealing his true intentions with a smile: "And after you've experienced it, I hope the Young Clan Head can help me promote it, so more Uchiha can try it out."

He paused, recalling Minato Namikaze's shocked and stimulated reactions in the game, and how he eventually entered a state of "battle high." He then added, "Perhaps it can help clan members who haven't awakened their Sharingan to do so successfully, and those who have already awakened it might have a chance to strengthen their Sharingan—for example, One Tomoe becoming Two Tomoe, or Two Tomoe becoming Three Tomoe, and so on."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression sharpened, and his eyes gleamed, displaying the aura of the 'Fierce Eye' at that moment.

This was commonly known as having fierce, intimidating eyes.
