The Difficulty of Creating Gnosis

It is actually quite easy to settle Chiya Izumi's identity; one only needs to modify the village entry and exit records.

The upper echelons of Konoha do not typically flip through these records for no reason; they only conduct surprise investigations when the need arises.

In the past, the Police Force might have intervened in such matters, but now that the Uchiha clan has been wiped out and the Police Force is empty, no one cares about entry and exit logs anymore.

Furthermore, the ninjas responsible for recording these details do not personally conduct real-time visits or investigations within the village. In other words, even if an extra person suddenly appeared in the village, they would basically go unnoticed unless they were unlucky enough to be specifically targeted for a check.

Uchiha Arashi could have left it alone and it would have been fine.

However, considering his status as a Reviewer might attract some attention, he decided it was better to proactively eliminate this loophole.

Thus, he went to the gates of Konoha and used Kotoamatsukami to control the gate guards, adding records for Chiya Izumi and Chiya Ayatsuki to the logs. He dated them a week prior to his own arrival, proving they had come ahead of time to scout for housing and shop locations.

On the records, Izumi's name became Chiya Izumi, with her identity listed as Arashi's "fiancée," while Ayatsuki was listed as his younger sister, Chiya Ayatsuki.

When Izumi learned of his arrangement, she said nothing, but her face remained flushed for an entire day without fading, causing the other younger siblings to think she was sick and even suggest she go find a doctor.

The other younger siblings who have yet to emerge will also be given legal identities using the same method.

As for whether this would attract Konoha's attention, it is not much of an issue. Konoha does not necessarily possess an accurate list of the clan members, and checking corpse data against a list is not necessarily precise. More importantly, Uchiha Arashi can increase or decrease the number of people at any time, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of Konoha's verification.

Besides, as long as he does not stir up trouble within Konoha and simply focuses on writing and publishing books, who would care about his situation?

With the full efforts of the publisher, Teyvat Travelogue has spread throughout the entire Land of Fire. Recently, the speed at which the Power of Recognition gathers has been steadily increasing, rising from the ability to create one Eye of God per day to three every two days.

Because the first book covered both Mondstadt and Liyue, and the concept of a Gnosis was mentioned in both nations, Uchiha Arashi has recently been attempting to condense a Gnosis.

Compared to an Eye of God, the power of a Gnosis is undoubtedly much stronger.

An Eye of God is merely a basic External Magical Organ that can guide Elemental Power, allowing people to quickly master it, but it cannot go any further; its upper limit is at most Kage Level. Moreover, it is only proficient in a single element. In the context of the Ninja World, it is simply the pinnacle of single-attribute chakra nature transformation, nothing more.

A Gnosis is different. According to the rules of Teyvat, a Gnosis can resonate directly with Celestia. It not only possesses greater control over Elemental Power but also holds many rule-level abilities, such as manipulating Ley Lines, rewriting the destiny of a nation, or even directly awakening the Heavenly Principles.

However, it is a pity that there are no Heavenly Principles in the Ninja World, and Uchiha Arashi is not stupid enough to create a "father" for himself to answer to.

Therefore, in the absence of "Heavenly Principles," the upper limit of a Gnosis will likely break through Kage Level and enter the higher Six Paths Level or Otsutsuki Level, which means mastery of all chakra attributes, control over Kekkei Genkai, and even the ability to influence the entire world to a certain extent.

Of course, these are all Uchiha Arashi's guesses; exactly what a Gnosis can achieve will only be clear once he manages to create one.

Unfortunately, the requirements for a Gnosis are far greater than those for an Eye of God; the two are not even on the same level.

When condensing and creating an Eye of God, even during the stage when the acquisition speed of the Power of Recognition was still very slow, he could clearly feel where the limit was and could roughly calculate when he would be able to manufacture one. But when it came to the Gnosis, he felt absolutely nothing; a massive amount of the Power of Recognition poured in like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

"This is absurd! Is a Gnosis really that much stronger than an Eye of God? I didn't get that feeling when I played the game before..."

Uchiha Arashi scratched his head.

In the game, the gods were indeed very powerful, but that was because their own strength was already significant. Even without a Gnosis, the gods could still crush the vast majority of mortals.

Even if a Gnosis was stolen, the feeling it gave the player was more of the annoyance of "having a good item stolen" rather than the frustration of losing a massive chunk of power.

But now it seems that the difficulty of replicating a Gnosis is more than a hundred times that of an Eye of God; the gap between the two is truly quite large.

"It's a good thing I chose the path of writing and publishing books, otherwise, who knows how long I would have had to collect such a terrifying amount of the Power of Recognition."

The more Uchiha Arashi thought about it, the more he felt his choice was correct. So, once his life finally stabilized, he immediately began writing the third book, which covers the Inazuma arc. Inazuma's style is very similar to the Ninja World, which might further resonate with readers, increase the spread, and gain more Power of Recognition.

"I'll strive to obtain the Gnosis before the Sumeru arc ends. Fontaine... hmm, its style is too different from the Ninja World; I suspect it won't be very popular."

There is also another reason, which is the issue of safety.

As long as they are alive, they are constantly in danger. This has nothing to do with whether they are in Konoha or not. Being in Konoha can actually have the effect of being "darkest under the lamp"; the Third surely would not imagine that this group of people would be so bold as to live right under the Hokage's nose.

The sooner he creates the Gnosis, the sooner his strength can advance, and the better his ability to respond to emergencies will be, ensuring greater safety.

Just as Uchiha Arashi was working hard on his new book.

In the Land of Fields, Konoha's Anbu ninjas had already tracked Orochimaru's trail.

"I don't need to tell you about his identity and danger level. Be careful with every step from here on out. If you encounter danger, signal immediately. Do not engage; run if you can."

The Anbu squad leader lowered his voice and spoke to his team members.

This time, the opponent is Orochimaru, one of the most dangerous rogue ninjas of Konoha; one cannot be too careful.

"Understood!"

The three Anbu behind him nodded and spoke in equally low voices.

"Oh? So cautious? Is there some conspiracy afoot? Let me guess, you aren't trying to target me, are you?"

A somewhat hoarse voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of playfulness in its tone.

The several Anbu who were arranging their battle plan felt their entire bodies tighten, as if they were being stared at by a venomous snake; a massive sense of crisis descended from the sky.

"Scatter!!!"

The squad leader roared hoarsely.

At almost the same moment, hundreds of venomous snakes descended from the sky, enveloping the four of them.
