Uchiha Jiri Is Not from the Original Anime

## Chapter 21: Uchiha Jiri – Not the Original Anime Version

The next day, Uchiha Qi woke up with a yawn, looking tired and not fully rested.

Anyone who didn't know better might think Uchiha Qi had indulged in some unspeakable multi-person activities the night before and gotten too wild.

But in reality, Uchiha Qi had simply modified the game the previous night, creating a "trial version." On top of that, he had further developed the game.

This development came about after seeing Uchiha Fugaku's highly entertaining "performance" while playing the game yesterday afternoon. He felt it would be a huge waste if such an enjoyable gaming experience couldn't be seen by others.

However, at the time, it was just an idea, and he wasn't sure if it was achievable, so he only properly researched it last night.

As a result, Uchiha Qi did manage to achieve some results. Although far from what he envisioned, it was at least usable.

Today, he was going to let the Uchiha Clan elders try out the experimental version of the game, which might allow for an immediate test of its effects.

With this thought, Uchiha Qi finished his morning routine and breakfast, then prepared to leave. But just before stepping out, he sensed someone outside. His mind stirred, and he quietly pulled out a Kunai, then cautiously opened the door.

It turned out there was no danger outside, but rather a beautiful woman dressed in the Uchiha Clan's distinctive black robes.

She had the appearance of an older sister figure, around twenty years old, with a cool, aloof demeanor, fitting the Uchiha Clan's characteristic handsome men and beautiful women.

However, her long hair was not the common black hair of the Uchiha Clan, but a rare deep purple. The aura she exuded was also very strong; though not as powerful as Minato Namikaze, she was still Jonin-level.

And Uchiha Qi recognized her, because she was his "senior" who had entered the Ninja Academy a year before him.

"Jiri-senpai, why are you here?"

Uchiha Qi looked surprised.

Uchiha Jiri was a genius of the younger generation of the Uchiha Clan. At only 20 years old, she already possessed the top-tier Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Moreover, the Uchiha Clan was classically patriarchal, so for someone like her to be self-reliant, awaken the Three-Tomoe, and become a Jonin was extremely rare.

In fact, although Uchiha Jiri and Uchiha Qi were a year apart in school, Uchiha Jiri was the classic Uchiha genius during their time at the academy, constantly surrounded by glory and praise. Even after graduating from the academy, she remained a standout among her peers.

Currently, Uchiha Jiri was one of the core members of the Konoha Military Police Force, serving as one of its strongest enforcers. Her status was completely different from Uchiha Qi's. Their relationship was limited to simple greetings when they occasionally met.

They simply weren't in the same social circles.

However, today, Uchiha Jiri stood before Uchiha Qi with a complex expression. Then, she composed herself, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully, "Lord Qi, the Clan Head sent me to welcome you."

Uchiha Qi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then realized it must be the result of Uchiha Fugaku informing the Uchiha Clan elders about the Genjutsu Game.

He had long anticipated that the Uchiha Clan would look at him differently because of the Genjutsu Game, but he only expected his treatment to improve significantly. However, from the looks of the current situation, the treatment seemed a bit too exaggerated.

This was Uchiha Jiri, one of the strongest individuals of the younger generation. Within the entire Uchiha Clan, her strength could rank among the top ten. Yet, she was sent by the clan's elders to welcome him, even addressing him as "Lord."

One must remember, in this world with its extremely strong sense of hierarchy, being addressed as "Lord" completely established a superior-subordinate relationship, that of a served person and a servant.

Uchiha Jiri addressing Uchiha Qi as "Lord" meant that most people in the clan would have to address him as "Lord" from now on.

Honestly, the feeling was quite subtle.

But it didn't feel bad either—perhaps if this had happened right after he transmigrated, he would have felt uncomfortable. But after eighteen years, and eighteen years without any cheats, just as an ordinary person, he had already experienced many things, and his mindset had long since changed.

For that matter, Uchiha Qi had often used the title "Lord" himself when addressing others.

If others could accept it with peace of mind, then why should he be unable to accept it when it was his turn?

So, Uchiha Qi nodded. "Alright, let's go!"

With that, he and Uchiha Jiri headed towards the Uchiha Clan Compound.

All the way there, Uchiha Jiri walked half a step behind, to Uchiha Qi's right, completely in the posture of a subordinate, her expression calm, showing no strange reactions.

Clearly, she had adjusted her mindset.

Uchiha Qi's mood, however, was quite subtle. After all, Uchiha Jiri used to be someone he looked up to, and now, suddenly, the tables had turned, and she was acting like his subordinate.

It was...

Quite surprising.

But Uchiha Qi also understood that this would become the norm. Not just Uchiha Jiri, but other Uchiha members would also completely change their attitude towards him—as long as the effects of the Genjutsu Game were confirmed.

Speaking of which, Uchiha Jiri was quite special to Uchiha Qi, not because she was his classmate for several years, or the classic "other people's child" he was compared to in his youth.

For Uchiha Qi, who possessed the aptitude of a resilience king, these were mere trifles.

The key was that Uchiha Jiri had appeared in the original work, but only in the anime's original content, a character that conflicted with the manga's storyline.

Izanami was one of the Uchiha Clan's forbidden jutsu. In the original manga, it was created by an Uchiha ancestor during the clan's internal strife in the Warring States period.

The original manga didn't show who created Izanami, only stating that such an event and person existed.

Then, the "smart" anime production team created the character Uchiha Jiri, claiming she created Izanami.

This in itself wasn't a big deal, but the problem was that this original plot point directly depicted a period after Konoha was established, with a group of Uchiha wearing Konoha headbands fighting each other due to internal strife. Finally, Uchiha Jiri used Izanami to end all the calamities. Crucially, Uchiha Jiri also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Seriously, when did the Uchiha Clan have internal strife after Konoha was established? And after the village was founded, not a single person awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan; even the legendary Second Hokage's disciple, Uchiha Kagami, only had the Three-Tomoe.

Most importantly, if the Uchiha truly had internal strife, the Konoha higher-ups would be laughing in their sleep. They would surely egg it on and fan the flames, allowing the Uchiha Clan to be severely weakened by internal conflict. How could they be as prosperous as they were now?

So, this original plot was truly absurd.

In this real Ninja World, the first time Uchiha Qi saw Uchiha Jiri, he was startled, thinking this was going to follow the "smart" original anime plot.

However, the truth was that Uchiha Jiri was just an ordinary Uchiha, with excellent talent, but only excellent. Compared to the future Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, she wasn't just a little bit behind, let alone the "cheating" Otsutsuki Sasuke.

Of course, even so, Uchiha Jiri was still an excellent Uchiha. If she could join the Konoha Anbu, she would be a top-tier expert there.
