Once the tone had been set, the next matter to discuss was the details of bringing others in and growing stronger together.
Although they still felt somewhat uncomfortable about having to share the Uchiha Clan's secret techniques with outsiders, it was a necessary sacrifice for the Uchiha Clan's future and for even greater gains down the road.
For that reason, the Uchiha higher-ups instead felt deeply guilty, because if the power of their secret techniques was to be shared, then Uchiha Qi would be making the greatest sacrifice.
He had no need whatsoever to share the good things he had created with outsiders. It was only because the Uchiha Clan's terrible situation had held Uchiha Qi back.
This was the failure and disgrace of the entire Uchiha Clan, something they had to reflect upon deeply and repent for.
Especially when they thought of the miserable life Uchiha Qi had lived in the past, the Uchiha higher-ups felt even more ashamed and remorseful.
With that mindset, their existing desire for redemption grew even stronger, and they developed the same mentality as Uchiha Setsuna—no matter the price, the Uchiha Clan would defeat Konoha's higher-ups!
Ah, no, that was wrong. No matter the price, the Uchiha Clan had to stand firmly behind Uchiha Qi and help this radiant figure who, despite suffering unfair treatment, was still willing to brave fire and water for the Uchiha Clan and lead it back to greatness!
Yes, at least at this moment, Uchiha Qi was an existence on an entirely different level in the eyes of the Uchiha higher-ups.
As for Uchiha Qi, his task of fooling the Uchiha Clan had finally been completed, and he let out a sigh of relief.
Honestly, the final result was far better than Uchiha Qi had expected. All his preparations had originally been meant only to secure a little support from the Uchiha Clan, as well as protection until he had grown strong enough.
Who could have imagined that the Uchiha Clan would react so strongly to his theories and be completely won over on the spot?
All one could say was that this so-called "Hokage-like way of thinking" was truly devastating to these Uchiha. The less they had of something, the more desperately they craved it.
And they were especially prone to extremes, flipping between two polar opposites in ways no normal person could understand.
Still, "clearing" the Uchiha Clan was merely the equivalent of clearing the beginner village dungeon.
The Uchiha Clan was simply too special, and its circumstances were especially terrible. Combined with the Genjutsu Game's unique boost for the Uchiha Clan, that was why Uchiha Qi had been given this opportunity to fool these Uchiha higher-ups.
If it had been any other Ninja Clan, then no matter how brilliantly Uchiha Qi spoke, it would have been useless. At most, he might have received some family support for his venture, and the so-called secret technique might even have been completely forbidden from external use.
Near evening, Uchiha Qi left the Uchiha Clan and returned home.
That same day, the Uchiha Clan quietly purchased the houses around Uchiha Qi's home, and several Uchiha led by Uchiha Jiri moved into them.
They had all been sent by the Uchiha Clan to protect Uchiha Qi.
Originally, the Uchiha higher-ups had wanted Uchiha Qi to move into the Uchiha Clan Compound, where they would arrange a grand residence for him.
However, Uchiha Qi ultimately refused.
After all, living in the Uchiha Clan Compound would truly have been inconvenient, and Uchiha Qi had plans of his own.
Then, the next day, Uchiha Qi went directly to find Kushina Uzumaki. Together, they began researching the possibility of sealing the Genjutsu Game into Sealing Scrolls and promoting it externally.
During this process, Uchiha Qi directly called Uchiha Jiri over as well.
The reward he had obtained from completing the previous task had strengthened his mastery of the Spiritual Network. His use of it was now far beyond what it had been before. One of its capabilities was borrowing another person's ocular power through the Spiritual Network to assist himself, so naturally he had to make use of Uchiha Jiri, the elite tool worker sent by the Uchiha Clan.
Without question, the pace of this operation was somewhat aggressive, but to Uchiha Qi, the most important thing now was to seize every moment.
The task deadline was only one month away, and he did not have much time left. Having already dealt with the Uchiha Clan and secured its willingness to support him wholeheartedly for at least the near future, he naturally had to maximize efficiency.
Working at full force in this manner, their research progress became astonishingly fast.
It was as though a chain quest's progress had been laid out before them. They only needed to complete it stage by stage to finish the entire questline.
Honestly, it did not feel like they were developing a new technology at all. Everyone who had joined the research team, including Minato Namikaze and Kikyo Uzumaki, was astonished.
Everything went far too smoothly. It was so smooth that it felt as if Uchiha Qi, the project's leader, had long since formed a complete plan, while everyone else merely needed to help him carry out the arrangements he had made.
Whenever they encountered a problem, Uchiha Qi was always able to quickly find an answer and a solution, then resolve it.
It was like operating with a walkthrough in hand.
So why was that?
The answer was simple.
The enhanced effect of the upgraded Spiritual Network skill!
Although the artificial idiot system was a scammer, the things it gave out were genuinely good.
Spiritual Network Mastery: Level 2
That was the skill level displayed on the system panel, appearing after Uchiha Qi completed the skill upgrade.
The maximum level was Level 5. Once it reached that point, he would have completely mastered all skills related to the Spiritual Network.
Even now, Level 2 Spiritual Network Mastery provided an immense boost. Unlike those top-student-type systems, which required one to systematically learn knowledge before applying it, the skills granted by the game development system felt somewhat like foolproof versions.
For example, when developing the technology to transplant the Genjutsu Game into Sealing Scrolls, encountering a problem in the past would have required careful thought and calculations, followed by multiple rounds of research and experimentation before they could overcome the obstacle.
Yet under the influence of Level 2 Spiritual Network Mastery, whenever he encountered a related problem, as long as he saw it, the relevant knowledge would automatically surface in his mind, allowing him to find a solution.
He still needed to think, but he did not need to burn through countless brain cells. Usually, he only needed to consider things carefully for a moment before finding the answer—likewise, if the problem exceeded what Level 2 Spiritual Network Mastery could handle, then the skill would provide no feedback or answer.
Without question, in anything related to research and development, this was a genuine cheat.
But...
He already had a system. Was he supposed to refuse to use cheats?
Uchiha Qi was not that foolish, so he made full use of the advantages granted by the upgraded Spiritual Network skill, leading a group of assistants as he rapidly pushed forward.
In the end, it took only three days to completely solve the technology for transplanting the Genjutsu Game into Sealing Scrolls.
Borrowing Uchiha Jiri's ocular power and Kushina Uzumaki's sealing techniques and Chakra, with Uchiha Qi personally controlling the process, a complete copy of "Homecoming" was transplanted onto a scroll.
At that moment, everyone involved in the research was overjoyed. A powerful sense of accomplishment at having created history and the future surged into their hearts, and smiles bloomed across every face.
