Uchiha Takashi acted immediately. After returning, he first resolved the issues he had promised the medical-nin, and then compiled two books.

" Uchiha Hospital Doctors' Code of Conduct" and "Complete Guide to the Use of Uchiha Medicines"

Then Uchiha Takashi compiled all the convenient technologies and prohibitions on Chakra use that he had in mind into two more books, which took him about two weeks in total.

After Tatsu Uchiha was summoned to Uchiha Takashi's office, he immediately noticed two books on the desk.

"The Rules of Uchiha Chakra Use" and "Essential Techniques for the Common People"

Uchiha Takashi was starting to lose his composure, Tatsu Uchiha's eyes twitched as he looked at the other two books on the table.

"Chieftain, could you explain the relationship between these three books and this one?"

Uchiha Takashi ignorance. "Is there a problem? It's just three books, oh no, four books, it's just four books, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"Yes, there are only four books, but can you explain why the art style of these three books is so different from this one? They're not even in the same dimension!"

Uchiha Takashi's expression was very serious at this moment. "Senpai, there's no need to worry about this kind of thing; it's just some trivial matter."

The important thing is that we must spread and disseminate everything in these books. The contents of these four books are of paramount importance to our Uchiha Clan. They must be completely disseminated and reach every villager, understand?

Tatsu Uchiha: "I see, I understand now. But I still really want to complain about the art style of these three books and this one."

Tatsu Uchiha took the four books away while making sarcastic remarks.

Watching Tatsu Uchiha's retreating figure, Uchiha Takashi began contacting Fū Uchiha again.

The main purpose was to discuss garlic cultivation with Fū Uchiha.

Two weeks ago, on the day he returned from the hospital, Uchiha Takashi didn't rush to compile these books. Instead, he directly contacted Fū Uchiha.

He can edit books anytime, so contacting Fū Uchiha planting garlic as soon as possible is naturally the better.

While he was in the hospital, he had already made up his mind. The medical-nin had said that garlic was a valuable herb, Uchiha Takashi was already planning to expand garlic production.

Now that the food production in the Uchiha Village is almost complete, it's time to expand into other crops, such as cash crops or medicinal herbs.

So the first thing Uchiha Takashi did upon returning to the office was to contact Fū Uchiha to find a suitable location to expand garlic cultivation.

A week earlier, Fū Uchiha had responded by finding the garlic planting site. Without hesitation, Uchiha Takashi transferred a batch of garlic seeds from the clan's warehouse and sent them over.

Right now, he's following up on the garlic planting matters with Fū Uchiha.

Just then, an Uchiha clansman rushed in, shouting, "Clan leader! Clan leader!"

Uchiha Takashi frowned, looked up at him, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? We should be more composed!"

The Uchiha clansman, panting, leaned against the doorframe to rest. "No, clan leader, do you remember the explosion two weeks ago?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Takashi immediately stood up. "Damn it, you guys are using gunpowder again? Didn't I tell you to be extra careful? What happened? Tell me quickly!"

The Uchiha clansman scratched the back of his head. "Clan leader, didn't you say that people should be more mature and composed? Why are you in such a hurry now?"

Uchiha Takashi wanted nothing more than to kick this Uchiha clansman in the face. "Enough nonsense, just tell me where I am!"

The Uchiha clansman sensed a strong killing intent, trembled, and pointed in a direction, saying, "It's over there."

Without a word, Uchiha Takashi vanished from the office in the blink of an eye, leaving the Uchiha clansmen huddled inside, saying, "I haven't even told you what happened yet."

Uchiha Takashi rushed to the scene as quickly as possible after leaving his office. From a distance, he could smell a strong odor of gunpowder.

"These brainless bastards!" Uchiha Takashi's forehead veins bulged; he felt an intense urge to punch someone.

When he arrived at the scene, it was already a mess. Several Uchiha clansmen lay unconscious on the ground, their eyes rolled back.

Uchiha Takashi took a light sniff; the Yakumi in the air assaulted his very senses, almost making him faint.

Several Kunai, their surfaces slightly charred, lay scattered on the ground.

Uchiha Takashi reached out and picked up the Kunai, brought it to his nose, and gently sniffed it.

He smelled a faint smell of burning and gunpowder.

Several Kunai were still nailed to the charred tree trunk in the distance. Uchiha Takashi strode forward, grabbed Kunai, and pulled it outwards. With a loud crack, the entire tree trunk collapsed under the weight.

Meanwhile, medical-nin had already arrived at the scene and begun treating the injured.

"Holy crap, what happened? Why is their face so black again?" A medical-nin complained as he looked at the Uchiha clansmen being carried out of the rubble.

Just then, an Uchiha clansman reached out from the ruins. "There are still... people here, please help!"

However, he didn't receive any medical-nin help. When he opened his eyes, Uchiha Takashi's face was right in front of him.

The Uchiha clansman shuddered, then quickly closed his eyes. "I must be dreaming. I must have opened my eyes wrong. I must have opened them too quickly."

However, as he repeatedly opened and closed his eyes, the face before him remained Uchiha Takashi.

Seeing the guy blinking incessantly, Uchiha Takashi twitched his lips and said, "Hey, stop trying this here. I'm right in front of you. Explain yourself to me what you're doing!"

The Uchiha clansman opened his eyes with a look of utter despair. "Oh, clan leader, this has nothing to do with me. I'm just a supporting character. The mastermind behind this is the head of another research group!"

"It has nothing to do with me, this really has nothing to do with me at all, please let me go, clan leader."

Uchiha Takashi sneered, "You're quite the expert at shifting blame, aren't you? Taking advantage of everyone else being unconscious, you just keep making things up, huh?"

Should I wait until they wake up before asking them this question? Tell them the truth, don't try anything funny.

Upon hearing this, the Uchiha's expression immediately fell. "Clan leader, the thing is, weren't we discussing this gunpowder at the time?"

You said before that gunpowder is quite powerful, right? We were just thinking that this thing, besides stunning people, isn't really that useful.

Then I realized something was wrong. This thing has such a strong impact, so what if I stuff it inside something, and then put some Kunai inside? Then the impact of this thing would push the Kunai, and I wouldn't have to throw it away!

Then we started the experiment, but the first two attempts were basically useless, probably because there wasn't enough gunpowder in the gunpowder.

Later, I thought I'd just flipped the number a little bit, but who knew the explosion would be so violent, it accidentally detonated the gunpowder stored nearby as well.

(Regarding whether gunpowder was actually effective, the original work does show gunpowder and rifles, as demonstrated in the train to the Land of Snow, but that's in the theatrical version.)

Moreover, the bolt-action rifle used didn't look very advanced, but it was still capable of inflicting minor injuries.

Regarding the question of whether gunpowder was actually useful, the original work doesn't clearly demonstrate it. In the author's understanding, it probably had some use, but its effectiveness was far less than that of melee weapons, which is why it was ignored by the ninjas.

However, the author intends to use modern technology to mass-produce gunpowder, a type of firepower that would definitely be lethal to ninjas.

But how much damage would be inflicted? The author decided to set that up himself, since the extent to which gunpowder was effective against ninjas in the original work, and whether modern weapons were even lethal to them, were all difficult to know.

Let's just assume that the power unleashed from different worlds is different. It's illogical that a ninja with 1.3 trillion terrifying cells could Kunai kunai, especially since the attacker was an ordinary person.

This can only be understood as different physical strengths existing in different world systems. For example, someone in a certain continent might be called a god-king, but in reality, they are equivalent to an ordinary person in our real world.

Just understand it like this: you can think of it as the firearms used having a greater power than our missiles.

The author will continue to patch the game, adjusting the weapon stats and trying to correct any inconsistencies. Any deviations from the original work will be considered the author's personal interpretation, given the numerous plot holes in the original story.
