Once the general direction was set, the next order of business was to discuss the specifics of how to bring others on board to make the project bigger and stronger.

Although they still felt a bit uncomfortable about having to share the Uchiha Clan's Secret Technique with outsiders, they understood it was a necessary sacrifice for the future of the Uchiha Clan, for greater gains down the line.

For this reason, the Uchiha elders felt deeply remorseful. If the power of the Secret Technique was to be shared, then Uchiha Qi would be making the greatest sacrifice.

He didn't need to share the good things he created with outsiders; it was entirely because of the Uchiha Clan's dire situation that Uchiha Qi was held back.

This was a failure and a disgrace for the entire Uchiha Clan, something that required deep introspection and repentance.

Especially when they thought about the difficult life Uchiha Qi had led before, the Uchiha elders felt even more ashamed and regretful.

With this mindset, their existing sense of atonement grew even stronger, leading to a similar attitude as Uchiha Setsuna's—no matter the cost, the Uchiha would defeat Konoha's higher-ups!

Ah, no, that's not right. It should be: no matter the cost, the Uchiha Clan would stand firmly behind Uchiha Qi, helping this brilliant individual who, despite unfair treatment, was still willing to go through fire and water for the Uchiha Clan, leading them back to greatness!

Yes, at least at this moment, Uchiha Qi was on an entirely different level in the eyes of the Uchiha elders.

For Uchiha Qi, the task of convincing the Uchiha Clan was finally complete, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Honestly, the final outcome far exceeded Uchiha Qi's expectations. Originally, all his preparations were just to gain a little support from the Uchiha Clan, and protection until he became strong enough on his own.

Who would have thought that the Uchiha Clan would react so strongly to his theories, being completely convinced on the spot?

One could only say that the so-called "Hokage-like thinking" truly had a devastating effect on these Uchiha. It's a classic case of yearning for what you lack.

Moreover, they were particularly prone to extremes, experiencing a "two-pole" shift in thinking that normal people couldn't comprehend.

However, "clearing" the Uchiha Clan was merely equivalent to clearing a beginner's village dungeon.

It was only because the Uchiha Clan was very special and in a particularly dire situation, combined with the Genjutsu Game's special blessing for the Uchiha Clan, that Uchiha Qi had this opportunity to fool these Uchiha elders.

If it had been any other Ninja Clan, even if Uchiha Qi had talked until he was blue in the face, it would have been useless. At most, he might have gotten some family support to start a venture, and even the so-called Secret Technique would have been completely forbidden for external use.

By late evening, Uchiha Qi left the Uchiha Clan Compound and returned to his own home.

It was also on this day that the Uchiha Clan quietly bought the houses around Uchiha Qi's residence, and then several Uchiha, led by Uchiha Jiri, moved into those houses.

These were all Uchiha Clan members sent to protect Uchiha Qi.

Originally, the Uchiha elders had suggested Uchiha Qi move back to the Uchiha Clan Compound, where a mansion would be arranged for him.

However, Uchiha Qi ultimately refused.

After all, living in the Uchiha Clan Compound was genuinely inconvenient, and Uchiha Qi had his own plans.

Furthermore, on the very next day, Uchiha Qi went directly to Kushina Uzumaki to begin researching the possibility of sealing the Genjutsu Game into a Sealing Scroll and then promoting it externally.

During this process, Uchiha Qi directly called upon Uchiha Jiri to join them.

The rewards from completing his previous mission had strengthened Uchiha Qi's mastery of the Spiritual Network skill. His current use of it was significantly better than before. One of its applications was the ability to borrow others' Dojutsu Power through the Spiritual Network to assist himself, so naturally, he made use of Uchiha Jiri, the elite tool sent by the Uchiha Clan.

Undoubtedly, this operational efficiency was somewhat aggressive, but for Uchiha Qi, the most important thing now was to seize the time.

The mission deadline was only one month, leaving him with little time. Having already dealt with the Uchiha Clan and ensured their full support for the time being, he naturally had to maximize efficiency.

With such a full-throttle approach, the research and development progress became incredibly fast.

It was as if there was a series of mission objectives laid out, and by completing them stage by stage, the entire series could be finished.

Honestly, it didn't feel like developing a new technology at all. Everyone involved in this research team, including Minato Namikaze and Kikyo Uzumaki, was astonished.

It was too smooth, so smooth that it felt as if Uchiha Qi, as the project leader, already had a clear plan, and everyone else just needed to help him execute the predetermined steps.

Whenever a problem arose, Uchiha Qi could always quickly find answers and solutions, then resolve the issue.

It was like operating with a perfect walkthrough.

So, why was this happening?

The answer was simple.

The upgraded Spiritual Network skill's enhancement!

Although the Artificial Stupidity System was a bit of a scam, what it provided was genuinely good stuff.

Spiritual Network Mastery: Level 2

This was the skill level displayed on the system panel, appearing after Uchiha Qi completed the skill upgrade.

The maximum level was Level 5, at which point he would have fully mastered Spiritual Network-related skills.

Even at just Level 2, Spiritual Network Mastery brought significant boosts. Unlike academic-type systems that require systematic learning before application, the Game Creation System's skills felt more like a "dummy-proof" operation.

For instance, when developing the Genjutsu Game's transplantation to a Sealing Scroll, upon encountering a problem, one would previously need to think and calculate carefully, then conduct multiple research attempts to overcome the difficulty.

However, under the influence of Level 2 Spiritual Network Mastery, when encountering relevant problems, as long as he saw them, related knowledge would automatically surface in his mind, leading to a solution.

Thinking was still required, but it didn't demand excessive brainpower. Often, a bit of careful thought was enough to find a solution—similarly, if the problem encountered exceeded the scope of Level 2 Spiritual Network Mastery, the skill wouldn't provide feedback or answers.

Undoubtedly, this kind of ability, applied to any research and development, was truly like having a cheat code.

But...

If you already have a system, why wouldn't you use cheats?

Uchiha Qi wasn't that foolish, so he fully leveraged the advantages of his upgraded Spiritual Network skill, leading a team of assistants to rapidly advance the project.

Ultimately, it only took three days to complete all the technical aspects of porting the Genjutsu Game to a Sealing Scroll.

Borrowing Uchiha Jiri's Dojutsu Power and Kushina Uzumaki's Sealing Jutsu and Chakra, and directly manipulated by Uchiha Qi, a complete copy of Homecoming was successfully transferred onto a scroll.

At that moment, everyone involved in the development was overjoyed, and a profound sense of accomplishment, of creating history and the future, surged through them, bringing smiles to all their faces.
