The System's New Mission: Genjutsu Game Must Be Promoted

Finally, after the five people finished their experience, it was almost noon.

Next was naturally a banquet for the Uchiha Clan.

Of course, it wasn't a grand affair; basically, only those with some status within the Uchiha Clan could attend. This was mainly because Uchiha Qi's Genjutsu Game was too important for the Uchiha Clan. If word got out, it would likely cause apprehension among Konoha's higher-ups.

Although not everyone knew, the Uchiha Clan elders generally understood that even though the Uchiha Clan was a founder of Konoha, they had always been feared and guarded against by Konoha's higher-ups.

Especially after the death of Uchiha Kagami, who was the Second Hokage's disciple, the Uchiha Clan was further restricted to the Konoha Military Police Force. Other departments were completely closed off to the Uchiha Clan.

With no avenues for promotion and very few opportunities to go outside, the Uchiha Clan elders used the clan members most extensively only during the Ninja World Wars—at that time, even Ninja Academy graduates had to go directly to the battlefield. No matter how much Konoha's higher-ups wanted to 'protect' the Uchiha, they still had to send them to war.

Therefore, every Ninja World War was when the Uchiha Clan suffered the most casualties, but each war also saw a surge in the Uchiha's strength. After all, for the clan of love, the 'loss' brought by the battlefield was immense, and it naturally led to the evolution of the Sharingan.

Under these circumstances, the Uchiha Clan's higher-ups also guarded against Konoha's higher-ups. While not as tense as after the Nine-Tails Attack, they would not share important clan secrets with Konoha's higher-ups.

However, the Uchiha Clan's attitude clearly indicated they wanted Uchiha Qi's 'secret technique' to be something exclusively for the Uchiha, which clearly conflicted with Uchiha Qi's plan.

Especially with the system releasing a new quest.

[Main Quest: The First Step to Building a Game Empire.]

[Quest Description: Any game must generate revenue. Only games with revenue can provide a continuous stream of funds for the host, allowing the host to invest more resources in creating new games. Therefore, establishing a method for selling games is essential.]

[Quest Requirements: Please establish a platform or channel for selling games and successfully sell two or more games. The price of each game will be automatically appraised based on current market conditions. The total sales revenue must exceed 100,000 RMB. The total number of players must not be less than 500. Each player's purchase of each game will be counted a maximum of once; repeat purchases will not be included in the total sales revenue. The actual selling price will vary based on regional exchange rates and prices, converted to the local currency.]

[Quest Duration: 1 month. The final reward will be determined based on the total sales revenue on the settlement date.]

[Special Tip: Upon completing this quest, all system functions will be fully unlocked.]

This was the new quest the system had just released. Like the previous one, its completion difficulty was very low according to Earth's standards, making it a very user-friendly system by system-world standards.

However, it was different in the Ninja World.

For an abstract, backward world, the system's requirements, while not extremely high, were not low either.

Although the system's requirements were very lenient, the Uchiha Clan's numbers alone could not meet the minimum requirement of 500 people.

After all, while the Uchiha Clan had a large population, even counting adopted outsiders, the total was less than 500, still short of the system's minimum requirement.

Therefore, to complete the system quest, Uchiha Qi had to sell the game externally.

Moreover, he couldn't rely on one-to-one Sharingan connections like he was doing now, otherwise, his Chakra and Dojutsu Power would not be enough—Uchiha Qi had asked the system, and officially sold games had to be full versions, and the system required at least two games, meaning he had to create at least one more game, which would consume even more resources.

The original method wouldn't work in a month. Uchiha Qi had to immediately start the plan he discussed with Minato Namikaze yesterday—research into the large-scale production of the Genjutsu Game.

Most importantly, the final reward from the system was based on sales revenue, meaning the more he sold, the greater the benefits Uchiha Qi would receive. Furthermore, the complete unlocking of system functions depended on this quest. Although he didn't yet know what functions the fully unlocked system would have, judging by the benefits he had already received, it was definitely no small matter.

With all these factors combined, how could Uchiha Qi possibly restrict his 'secret technique' to just the Uchiha Clan?

Therefore, spreading the Genjutsu Game outside was essential.

For this, Uchiha Qi had to persuade the Uchiha Clan's higher-ups—although he could force it, that would inevitably sour relations with the Uchiha. Losing out on such a huge benefit he had just gained would be a massive waste.

As he pondered, after dinner, Uchiha Qi found Uchiha Fugaku and asked him to gather the most important Uchiha members for a high-level meeting.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't know what Uchiha Qi was going to do, but Uchiha Qi now had the right to call a high-level meeting. After all, he was treated with the same regard as the clan elder and clan head.

So, a select few Uchiha, including Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Masanobu, and Uchiha Setsuna, reassembled in the dojo designated for meetings. Compared to the number of people in the room that morning, only a third remained.

Looking at these true power-holders of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Qi said, "Everyone, you are all aware of the Genjutsu Game I created. But there's one more thing I must tell you: my secret technique cannot be taught to others."

Everyone was taken aback, then exchanged glances. Afterward, Uchiha Setsuna quietly asked, "Qi-kun, could you tell us why?"

There was no questioning, no anger or coercion, just a desire to know the reason.

Uchiha Qi activated his One Tomoe Sharingan: "Because the core element of the secret technique is my Sharingan, or rather, the unique ability of my Sharingan. The power of this Dojutsu is the key, and I cannot teach this Dojutsu to others."

This explanation stunned the Uchiha, leaving them even more confused.

It was just a One Tomoe, what special ability could it have? It wasn't a Mangekyo Sharingan.

For a moment, even Uchiha Fugaku frowned, because these words sounded too much like an excuse to avoid teaching the secret technique.

While Uchiha Fugaku could accept Uchiha Qi monopolizing the secret technique—after all, he created it, so exclusive ownership was perfectly reasonable—using such words to deceive them felt like an insult. We have no grievances, why treat us like fools?

However, as other Uchiha thought this, Uchiha Setsuna nodded thoughtfully: "I see. If that's the case, it makes sense. Qi-kun, it seems you've obtained Mangekyo abilities with a One Tomoe Sharingan."

"This explains why the genjutsu world created by the Genjutsu Game is so realistic, because this is an ability unique to the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"But, precisely because it's only a One Tomoe Sharingan, you need the subject to offer no resistance when casting the technique, because your Sharingan only has one tomoe and its Dojutsu Power isn't as overwhelming as a Mangekyo Sharingan."

Immediately, all the Uchiha turned to Uchiha Setsuna, astonished, and even Uchiha Qi showed surprise.

It was genuinely true that Uchiha Qi couldn't teach others, because the Genjutsu Game was essentially created by combining the skills given by the system with the Sharingan. Without the system's components, this thing couldn't be taught to others, and they naturally couldn't use the 'secret technique' like him.

Uchiha Qi had already prepared to prove the truth of his words, even having methods ready.

Yet, Uchiha Setsuna had helped him prove it, and even brought up Mangekyo, the legendary evolved Sharingan, as a reason, which was completely unexpected.

So, had such a situation actually occurred in Uchiha history before?
