Fugaku: Qi-kun, do you have any girls you like in the clan? How about a selection?

Uchiha Fugaku was completely numb.

He couldn't kill them all, there was no end to it!

He couldn't win, he simply couldn't win!

His combat skills and experience were constantly increasing, and his individual strength far surpassed that of the red monster.

But...

The red monster fought dirty, using underhanded tactics and constantly ambushing him, the 28-year-old young head of the Uchiha Clan.

Eye-gouging, groin kicks, chokeholds, sneak attacks from behind, from underground, from the front—all these methods were used, making it impossible to defend. It was a masterclass in the Chen Hegao style, focusing only on results, not fairness. This made Uchiha Fugaku, who had never been on a battlefield, deeply realize how low ninjas in the Ninja World War could stoop.

As he was repeatedly killed in various ways, negative emotions accumulated, and his mindset exploded. Uchiha Fugaku's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun uncontrollably like pinwheels, as if tearing apart the very essence of the Sharingan and ascending to another level.

When Uchiha Qi noticed, he almost blurted out "Holy crap!" because Uchiha Fugaku's reaction looked exactly like his Sharingan was about to evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Could it be that the original Mangekyo awakening plot from the anime was going to be realized today, through his own hands?

Hiss~

Just thinking about it made him a little excited.

Although the Uchiha Fugaku in the original work was indeed an extremely pathetic character who waited for death, he undeniably had strength and the will to make the Uchiha Clan better. It was just that his brain wasn't very good, fully demonstrating the common Uchiha trait of having mental issues.

But as long as the Mangekyo was truly awakened through Uchiha Qi's hands, it would represent a great favor to Uchiha Fugaku and the entire Uchiha Clan, which could directly be converted into a significant achievement.

With this experience, the relationship between Uchiha Qi and Uchiha Fugaku would deepen, and in the foreseeable future, Uchiha Qi could gain great benefits through Uchiha Fugaku.

Therefore, if Uchiha Fugaku truly awakened his Sharingan, it would absolutely be a huge boon for Uchiha Qi.

However, Uchiha Qi's expectations ultimately fell flat.

Perhaps it was because he knew everything in the Genjutsu Game was fake, but Uchiha Fugaku ultimately couldn't cross that critical threshold. Even though he was utterly broken and fuming, his Sharingan only spun due to intense emotions, failing to evolve into the Mangekyo.

It was truly like expecting something big, only for it to turn into a massive, constipated mess.

Uchiha Qi was quite speechless.

And as Uchiha Qi's output of ocular power and Chakra ran out, Uchiha Fugaku ultimately failed to break through the red zone, directly achieving the "stuck" achievement. His performance was far worse than Minato's.

He really didn't know how to complain.

After the Genjutsu Game ended, Uchiha Fugaku was momentarily dazed, then recalled the fact that he had been stuck the entire time, which was quite embarrassing.

However, being a master of pretense, he nodded without changing his expression and said with great admiration, "Qi-kun, I've experienced the Genjutsu Game. Without a doubt, this is an extremely useful secret technique, especially for our Uchiha Clan; it's something that can change our current situation."

"Just now, I clearly felt that my Sharingan underwent some changes, but it lacked some crucial catalyst, so it ultimately failed to transform successfully."

"However, with this experience, I believe my Sharingan will advance even further."

He paused, not mentioning the possibility of evolving into the Mangekyo. After all, there was no point in saying anything before everything was settled, and if it got out, it could easily arouse suspicion from Konoha's higher-ups.

So, Uchiha Fugaku chose to conceal it.

However, Uchiha Fugaku had already clearly understood the benefits the Genjutsu Game could bring to the Uchiha Clan. Therefore, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Uchiha Qi, revealing profound closeness and goodwill.

"Qi-kun, rest assured! You want more people to experience the Genjutsu Game, and I will definitely help you. Tonight, I will report your matter to my father, then convene a high-level clan meeting to make your case a secret belonging to our Uchiha."

"If all goes well, you should receive notification tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Qi knew his plan to promote the game was secure. He immediately smiled and expressed his gratitude to Uchiha Fugaku.

After Uchiha Fugaku politely returned his greeting, he thought about his recent experience, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Qi-kun, this Genjutsu Game consumes a lot of your power. In your current state, you can only use the technique on two people at most per day, which is a bit inefficient."

"If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, many people will certainly want to experience it personally. So, can this technique save ocular power and Chakra by compressing its intensity, allowing more people to undergo the trial of this secret technique?"

"Qi-kun, please forgive me, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, but if more people can experience it personally, the effect of promoting it within the clan will be better."

These words made Uchiha Qi's eyes light up. He had just thought of using a "small profits, quick turnover" merchant tactic by reducing the scale, and now Uchiha Fugaku was directly giving him an opening.

He had been pondering how to make Uchiha Fugaku and other Uchiha accept a watered-down "trial version" experience, and now it was like finding a pillow when you're sleepy.

Uchiha Qi immediately said there was no problem and that he would go back and modify the technique again, striving to allow more Uchiha to experience the charm of the Genjutsu Game tomorrow.

Thus, a very satisfied Uchiha Fugaku continued his friendly conversation with Uchiha Qi. The two chatted happily until, after some time, Uchiha Qi excused himself, citing other matters.

Uchiha Fugaku politely tried to hold him back, then personally escorted Uchiha Qi out.

As the young clan head, Uchiha Fugaku's every move was watched. His friendly escort of Uchiha Qi was undoubtedly a statement to the Uchiha Clan, warning clan members to treat Uchiha Qi with new respect from now on.

The Uchiha who witnessed this scene also changed their perception of Uchiha Qi. Although Uchiha Qi had previously been able to speak with Uchiha Fugaku, the young clan head, and their relationship was good, today Uchiha Fugaku was clearly overly enthusiastic, even somewhat inappropriately so.

Why did Uchiha Qi deserve such treatment from Uchiha Fugaku?

The Uchiha didn't understand, but they remembered this incident and quickly spread the news.

So, the Uchiha Clan Compound soon knew about this, and it would certainly be known throughout the entire Uchiha Clan tonight.

Only when they reached the entrance did Uchiha Fugaku end his demonstrative farewell.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Fugaku seemed to recall something and asked, "Qi-kun, do you have someone you fancy now?"

Uchiha Qi, who had been chatting happily with Uchiha Fugaku, instantly froze, unsure how to respond. After all, anyone would be awkward if suddenly asked such a question.

Uchiha Fugaku, however, seemed oblivious to Uchiha Qi's embarrassment and said earnestly, "Qi-kun, if you have someone you fancy within the clan, you can tell me. Please believe me, after tomorrow, Qi-kun, your status within our Uchiha will be unique, and any suitable female in the clan will be willing to marry you."

Upon hearing this, the frozen Uchiha Qi instantly snapped back to reality, understanding Uchiha Fugaku's meaning—arranged marriages within the clan. This was normal for the Uchiha Clan. Although they weren't against marrying outsiders, excellent bloodlines were always kept within the clan through intermarriage.

This was also a way to strengthen the Uchiha Clan's cohesion and reinforce the purity of their bloodline.

Perhaps due to their Otsutsuki Clan lineage, the Uchiha, as descendants of the Otsutsuki, never had issues with deformed births. Therefore, intermarriage within the clan to maintain bloodline purity was simply a matter of course.

In Uchiha Fugaku's view, although Uchiha Qi's talent as a ninja was lacking and his bloodline was considered "trash" within the clan, his genius was unparalleled. The benefits he brought to the Uchiha Clan with just one Genjutsu Game surpassed those of a large group of Uchiha with Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

For such a person, to ensure the continuation of his noble bloodline and enhance his loyalty to the Uchiha, it was only natural to have outstanding young women from the clan marry him. Uchiha Fugaku also believed that once the young women of the clan learned of Uchiha Qi's abilities, they would absolutely be willing to marry him, and even actively pursue him.

As for the clan's high-ranking members and elders, upon learning of it, they might even directly organize a "selection" specifically for Uchiha Qi.

After all...

This is Uchiha!

Outstanding clan members possessed the highest privilege in the clan regarding choosing a spouse!

Furthermore, both men and women considered this privilege as a given; no one would oppose it.

However, the proud Uchiha generally didn't exercise this special right. They usually found someone they liked themselves or had the clan arrange it directly.

For example, Uchiha Fugaku's current wife, Uchiha Mikoto, was directly arranged by the clan and had been betrothed since childhood.

Only special individuals like Uchiha Qi, who had faced considerable disdain within the clan since childhood, would have these privileges directly bestowed upon them by the clan's high-ranking members as a form of compensation.

Moreover, if Uchiha Qi could further demonstrate his value, even having several outstanding clan women with Sharingan serve as his exclusive subordinates would not be out of the question.
