The Secret of the Uchiha Clan's Tsundere Nature is Discovered by Konoha!

The end of June in Konoha Year 46 was destined to be a lively time for the entire village, as if a festival had suddenly begun.

This was because the Uchiha Clan, typically aloof and disinclined to interact with outsiders, had uncharacteristically taken the initiative to host a product launch event for something called the Genjutsu Game.

Both "Genjutsu Game" and "launch event" were entirely new terms.

However, the Uchiha Clan printed many flyers, distributing and posting them throughout Konoha's streets and alleyways. Through this traditional and ancient method of promotion, the entire village learned about the event and understood what a launch event entailed.

Even some towns in the Land of Fire bordering Konoha became aware of it.

This attracted a lot of attention, not just from within Konoha but also from merchants outside the village. Everyone wanted to know what the Uchiha were planning and what this so-called Genjutsu Game was.

At the same time, many shrewd merchants planned to carefully observe the Uchiha Clan's advanced business concepts on the day of the launch event. When many people are discussing a launch event, traffic naturally increases. While this concept hadn't yet been clearly theorized in the Ninja World, intelligent merchants instinctively recognized its benefits.

Thus, despite only three days of preparation time, Konoha's population density sharply increased over the last two days, putting considerable pressure on the ninja guarding the village gates.

Of course, for hotel owners and various vendors within Konoha, this was a huge boon—the arrival of outsiders was bound to stimulate economic consumption.

Suddenly, many small business owners felt a surge of goodwill towards the Uchiha Clan, having reaped tangible benefits.

Similarly, many ninja and artisans also felt a significant increase in goodwill towards the Uchiha Clan.

This was because, after the Uchiha Clan rented an exercise ground on the outskirts of Konoha, they immediately began emergency construction on the site, aiming to erect a massive launch venue within three days.

For this, in addition to ordinary artisans, many ninja were also needed.

So, the Uchiha Clan directly issued a ninja commission to Konoha in the family's name, hiring Konoha ninja skilled in Water Release and Earth Release to temporarily act as construction workers.

The Uchiha Clan was very generous in this regard. While they could have commissioned these as D-rank missions, they deliberately raised the mission rank to C-rank, causing many cash-strapped Genin and Chunin to eagerly accept the tasks.

Even some Jonin were tempted by the generous compensation, but they considered it too undignified for a Jonin to take such low-level missions. Coupled with the large number of ordinary ninja who had already accepted, they could only regretfully give up.

Thus, thanks to these commissions, ordinary ninja's goodwill towards the Uchiha Clan soared. After all, for ninja, the work arranged by the Uchiha was truly easy and well-paid – a rare and excellent mission that was hard to come by.

What? Being a construction worker isn't respectable?

Well, is it possible that for ordinary ninja, especially Genin, there's no such thing as "respectable" or "unrespectable" when it comes to missions?

After all, being a construction worker is surely more respectable than helping nobles find lost pets or irrigating vast farmlands for them, right?

The notion that ninja are unwilling to use their power for construction and farming, only knowing how to destroy and fight, is pure nonsense.

The truth is, ninja only work on missions. If no one issues the relevant missions, and there's no corresponding compensation, why would they go farming or building?

Just like in the original story, after Konoha was destroyed by Pain, didn't the Konoha ninja all contribute their efforts during the reconstruction of their homes?

If you want ninja to contribute to construction, farming, and similar tasks, just offer them appropriate benefits.

Uchiha Qi had been in the Ninja World for eighteen years and understood these matters very well, which is why he had the Uchiha Clan directly hire a large number of Konoha's lower and middle-tier ninja by issuing missions.

In addition, many Uchiha Clan members, at the behest of high-ranking individuals like Uchiha Masanobu, joined the large-scale construction of the launch venue. Through this process, ordinary Konoha citizens and lower and middle-tier ninja had much contact with the Uchiha Clan.

People were surprised to find that while the Uchiha Clan was indeed a proud group who often looked down on others, they were quite pleasant. They never proactively mocked or insulted anyone, and if there was a problem or a need for help, approaching an Uchiha would result in an answer that might not be delivered with the best attitude, but they would definitely try their best to provide assistance.

Then, during this process, a new narrative suddenly emerged among ordinary people and lower and middle-tier ninja. The core of this narrative was, "Actually, the Uchiha Clan is pretty good. That proud attitude, yet always helping those who ask for it—isn't that just classic Tsundere? What? You're asking what Tsundere is? Tsundere is..."

Thus, with the emergence of this new term, "Tsundere," people's perception of the Uchiha Clan was quietly shifting.

Although for now, this phenomenon was limited to those involved in the large-scale construction, these individuals had friends and family. Once they went back and spread the word, the idea that the entire Uchiha Clan was Tsundere would take root in people's minds.

Clearly, this method of creating rumors, deepening special impressions, and concepts was something the Uchiha themselves could not have come up with. The only one capable of achieving this, and also hiring people to quietly spread the "rumor" during the process, and even knowing what "Tsundere" meant, was Uchiha Qi, who had the Uchiha Clan's support.

Regarding this, Uchiha Qi simply wanted to say—this was merely done on a whim, all stemming from the astonishing wisdom of internet users from the 21st century.

In any case, in this subtle yet pervasive manner, the Uchiha Clan's reputation in Konoha was quietly changing.

Meanwhile, a massive venue was rapidly being constructed.

It somewhat resembled an ancient Roman amphitheater, built with a large amount of rock, featuring multiple entrances and a huge central arena, with tiered seating ensuring everyone could see what was happening inside.

In reality, Konoha would eventually have a similar venue—the Chunin Exam finals arena seen in the original story.

However, that was clearly built much later; present-day Konoha had no such thing.

This led to some malicious speculation—that Konoha only had the funds to build that massive Chunin Exam finals arena in the future by seizing most of the Uchiha Clan's assets after their demise.

Of course, this is malicious speculation. One could also speculate more positively, believing it was built during Konoha's reconstruction after the Nine-Tails Attack. Any explanation works, but the current Konoha doesn't have that building.

Now, Uchiha Qi was having the Uchiha Clan directly construct a similar building, and that venue would become the exclusive site for future product launches. It could also be rented out for profit at other times.

What? Would Konoha's higher-ups allow it?

That depends on what Konoha's higher-ups think.

In any case, the Uchiha Clan spent a large sum to rent that exercise ground for ten years straight, and that money was enough for Konoha to build three identical exercise grounds.

As for ten years from now—Minato would have long since risen to power. Given their relationship, there would be plenty of room for maneuver.

In fact, if Konoha wouldn't allow the Uchiha Clan to directly buy the exercise ground now, buying the land outright would have been the most suitable option.

In summary, with the combined efforts of many Uchiha Clan members, a large number of low and mid-level ninja, and many ordinary artisans, a massive circular venue was completed in just three days.

Due to its incredibly fast construction speed, it was even excitedly dubbed "Konoha Speed" by the people of Konoha.

Of course, the Uchiha felt that since the Uchiha provided the money and manpower, it should rightfully be called "Uchiha Speed."

Although in Uchiha Qi's eyes it was quite rudimentary, in the eyes of the people of the Ninja World, it was already a considerably luxurious venue.

It was on the fourth day that the Genjutsu Game launch event was held in this venue.
