Upgrading to Two Tomoe, the Benefits of the System Upgrade Are Here

If Uchiha Qi had heard Shikaku Nara's words, he would have surely nodded in agreement, thinking, You're right, but... helping the Uchiha Clan is just a side benefit. The main reason is to complete the System's mission. This is my chance to seize the future!

Indeed, resolving the Uchiha Clan's predicament was, in Uchiha Qi's view, no big deal. After all, countless internet users from his previous life, with their astonishing wisdom, had already told him how to do it and what steps to take.

In fact, Konoha itself isn't a world sprung from Game of Thrones; its core essence is a violent organization where power reigns supreme. At most, it's a warlord state. The difficulty of political maneuvering here simply can't compare to those proper historical settings.

Having lived in this world for eighteen years, experiencing and witnessing many things firsthand, he could confirm that conspiracies and schemes weren't nonexistent, but they were definitely not as outrageous as the world imagined by various internet conspiracy theorists.

The main reason he hadn't done anything before was simply because he lacked sufficient prestige, strength, ability, and, most importantly, self-preservation capability.

Without any of those, anything Uchiha Qi tried to do previously would have been useless, because he truly couldn't do anything.

In the Ninja World, strength still reigns supreme. If you don't have enough strength, you need to possess sufficiently unique and useful abilities.

Now, while the Game Production System hasn't yet given Uchiha Qi immense power, it has already given him a unique ability to change the situation.

It turns out that when Uchiha Qi employed certain methods, the various clans of Konoha were completely powerless to resist. They only saw the benefits of joining the game merchant association. The hidden interest groups, their collective power, and political factors were completely unnoticed.

Even if some shrewd individuals saw through it, they couldn't say much in the face of such massive gains. Furthermore, with other clans joining in droves, not joining themselves would result in a huge loss. So, intelligent people like Shikaku Nara silently chose to 'join if you can't beat them.'

After all...

Even if someone among the Konoha F4 were to cause trouble later, they could pretend to be completely ignorant. If pressed further, they could simply say that since the Sarutobi, Mitokado, and Utatane clans had all joined, they were simply showing respect to the Konoha F4 and supporting them.

The main strategy was to play dumb to the very end.

Anyway, if the Konoha F4 really had the guts to enter a conspiracy theory mode, they could use their impressive political maneuvering to completely control all the clans and crush all their enemies.

But...

Did the Konoha F4 even possess such political skill?

Uchiha Qi merely wanted to say that if the Konoha F4 were truly as formidable as a conspiracy theory world, with Konoha's power, they should have directly seized complete control of the Land of Fire, instead of merely being tools in the Daimyo's hands.

In any case, after this event, the interest group had formed, and the Uchiha Clan's worst situation had been completely broken. The future days would be much better. As long as the Uchiha Clan didn't self-destruct, their future would be as stable as a mountain. And as long as outstanding Uchiha emerged and utilized the support of the interest group, becoming Hokage wouldn't be a problem.

Uchiha Qi had fulfilled his promise to the Uchiha Clan. Now that the initial momentum had been established, his focus no longer needed to be on the "small matter" of changing the Uchiha Clan's predicament, but rather on how to further expand his "game life."

In fact, when the various clans signed and sealed the agreement, declaring that they would transfer the funds for purchasing shares to the Uchiha Clan and send their relevant family members to jointly develop the Genjutsu Game market, the Uchiha elders already realized that the Uchiha Clan's situation had completely changed.

After all...

It had been a very long time since the Uchiha Clan had experienced representatives from various Ninja Clans warmly greeting them, showering them with praise, and eagerly wanting to forge strong ties with them.

The last time they had such an experience was...

Oh, wait, the Uchiha Clan had never received such treatment. After all, from the very beginning, the Uchiha Clan, as one of Konoha's founding clans, had always been a troublemaker in Konoha.

From the most formidable clan head, Uchiha Madara, to various Uchiha clan members who looked down on others, their main characteristic was causing trouble even when there was none.

Uchiha Fugaku, who was the quickest to realize this, gravely said to his father and the elder, Uchiha Setsuna: "Father, Elder Setsuna, Qi has fulfilled his promise to us. Our Uchiha Clan is no longer alone; instead, we have many allies and supporters!"

"Although this was exchanged for profit, as Qi said, between clans, emotions are fleeting; only profit is the true path."

"Therefore, we must not let down the excellent situation Qi has created for us. From now on, we must restrain our clan members and absolutely not allow them to continue recklessly making enemies by being arrogant."

"As Qi said, pride is a quality, but when pride goes too far and turns into arrogance, it becomes a cardinal sin!"

After hearing Uchiha Fugaku's serious words, Uchiha Masanobu and Uchiha Setsuna both nodded in deep agreement. They were very clear about how arrogant their own clan members were, and they understood that they were prone to offending others. They knew that restraining certain actions of their clan members was imperative.

Otherwise, even with the current favorable situation, their clan members would still squander their good fortune.

Of course, how to do it specifically still needed to be discussed thoroughly upon their return. For now, what they needed to do was continue to fully support Uchiha Qi and help him further expand the game.

At this very moment, Uchiha Qi had already finished looking through the Shop System and the Emotion Value Exchange System.

These two functions were quite straightforward and crude, essentially being the "shop" and "gacha" from various predatory gacha mobile games.

The Emotion Value Exchange System was classic gacha, spending a certain amount of Emotion Value for a ten-pull. The pool contained everything, so nothing was surprising to pull. There was no guaranteed pity, making it even worse than the worst gacha games Uchiha Qi had played in his previous life. It was all about whether the host got anything good depending entirely on luck.

As for the shop, it displayed several items, each with a purchase limit, and the items would refresh once a month. The better the item, the fewer times it could be purchased.

For example, among this month's items, there was a "Spirit Power Enhancement Potion" that could only be purchased once. It could permanently increase the user's spiritual power by 10%, emphasizing the noble percentage. The item description was as crude as ever: "After spiritual power increases, it can, to a certain extent, increase the user's work efficiency and overtime intensity."

What a "noble" corporate slave training device.

Uchiha Qi increasingly understood the essence of this terrible System: to train him into a super workaholic producer.

However, it didn't stop Uchiha Qi from immediately exchanging the Spirit Power Enhancement Potion. This shop didn't consume Emotion Value, but rather shop currency converted from the real-world game sales revenue.

The System had already automatically converted today's sales. For every 100,000 ryo in sales, 1 point of shop exchange currency could be obtained, and the converted portion was limited only to what the System recognized as part of the quest.

For example, the quest that fully unlocked the System had generated a total of 100 million ryo in sales, so the System directly converted 1000 points of shop exchange currency.

Although the Spirit Power Enhancement Potion required 600 points of shop currency, Uchiha Qi had more than enough to exchange for it.

After the exchange was completed, the potion automatically entered Uchiha Qi's System inventory. Uchiha Qi looked at it and found that he could choose to use it directly or take it out.

Evidently, the items inside weren't limited to Uchiha Qi's personal use; he could also choose to give them to others.

If he had enough power, he could give some items to others, but he was currently a weakling and had no choice, so he decisively used it himself.

Thus, the potion was used without Uchiha Qi even needing to drink it.

In an instant, Uchiha Qi's spiritual power significantly increased, and his Chakra also increased along with the enhanced spiritual power.

Furthermore, Uchiha Qi clearly felt a warm current flow through his brain into his eyes, making them feel a bit sore. He couldn't help but close them and instinctively rub them.

When the discomfort ended and he reopened his eyes, Uchiha Qi felt a clear change in them; they were now in the field of vision of an activated Sharingan.

However, compared to his previous Sharingan, his eyesight had noticeably improved this time, and other people's movements seemed much slower than usual.

This made Uchiha Qi's heart stir, and he immediately found a mirror to check.

Reflected clearly in his eyes were his Two Tomoe Sharingan.

His Sharingan had finally broken through its bloodline limitations and upgraded!

At the same time, Uchiha Qi discovered that the skills he'd mastered through the Spiritual Network resonated with his upgraded Sharingan. This immediately made him realize he could now do things that had been impossible with his One Tomoe Sharingan.

For example...

He could try to transfer the 'port' of his Spiritual Network to others through his Sharingan, allowing him to establish a Spiritual Network connection with them and enable them to help him create games!
