Chapter 53: Chapter 43 : Two Tomoe Sharingan!!
If Uchiha Kai had heard Nara Shikaku's words, he would have definitely nodded in agreement and said, "You're right, but... helping the Uchiha clan is just incidental. The main reason is to complete the system task. This is the opportunity I must seize for the future!"
Yes, solving the Uchiha clan's predicament is really no big deal in Uchiha Kai's eyes. After all, how to handle it, and what to do, had already been told to him in countless ways by the Naruto fans and political internet geniuses in his past life.
In fact, Konoha itself is not some world that sprang from Game of Thrones. At its core, it's a violent organization where power reigns supreme, and at most, it's just a military faction.
The political intrigue and schemes here can't compare to those of actual historical worlds.
Living in this world for eighteen years, experiencing it firsthand, and seeing many things with his own eyes, Uchiha Kai can confirm that while conspiracies and tricks do exist, they are nowhere near as absurd as the world imagined by the outlandish theories of internet users.
The reason he didn't do anything before was mainly due to lacking enough prestige, power, and ability, not to mention the ability to protect himself.
Without these, Uchiha Kai couldn't do anything before, because he really couldn't do anything at all.
In the ninja world, strength is still the most important. Without enough power, one must come up with a unique and useful ability.
Now, although the Game Developer System hasn't granted Uchiha Kai immense power, it has given him the unique ability to change the situation.
It turned out that when Uchiha Kai used a few tricks, none of the major clans in Konoha could resist.
All they saw were the benefits they could gain from joining the Konoha Gaming Company, completely unaware of the hidden interest groups, alliances, and political factors lurking behind it.
Even though some smart people noticed, they couldn't speak out in the face of such massive benefits. Moreover, with other clans joining in, not joining would mean huge losses, so smart people like Nara Shikaku quietly chose to "if you can't beat them, join them."
After all...
Even if someone from the Konoha Council tries to pick a fault in future, they can always pretend not to understand.
If questioned further, they can just say they saw that the Sarutobi, Utatane, and Mitokado clans had joined, and they were doing it to support the Konoha Council, showing respect for them.
The key is to play the fool to the end.
Anyway, if you Konoha Council really had the ability to enter the world of conspiracy theories, you would use all your powerful political tactics to fully control all the clans and crush your enemies completely.
But…
Does the Konoha Council even have such political prowess?
Uchiha Kai just wants to say that if the Konoha Council really had such a conspiracy theory-level ability, with Konoha's strength, they should've directly taken control of the entire Land of Fire, rather than just being tools under the Daimyo.
Anyway, after this event, the interest group has been established. The worst situation for the Uchiha clan has been completely overturned.
The future will be much better. As long as the Uchiha clan doesn't self-destruct, the future will be stable like Mount Tai.
And as long as a talented Uchiha emerges and makes good use of the support from the interest group, becoming Hokage will not be a problem.
Uchiha Kai has already fulfilled his promise to the Uchiha clan. Once the initial momentum was in place, his focus no longer needed to be on the 'small matter' of changing the Uchiha clan's predicament but on how to further expand his 'game life.'
In fact, when all the major clans signed and pledged to send the money for the shares to the Uchiha clan and would send relevant clan members to help develop the genjutsu game market, the upper echelons of the Uchiha clan realized that their situation had completely changed.
After all…
It had been a long time since the Uchiha clan had experienced such enthusiastic greetings from representatives of all the ninja clans, constantly praising the Uchiha clan and desperately wanting to forge strong ties with them.
The last time they experienced such treatment was…
Wait, no, the Uchiha clan had never received such treatment. After all, from the beginning, the Uchiha clan, the founding clan of Konoha, had always been Konoha's punching bag.
From the most powerful clan leader, Uchiha Madara, to the Uchiha members who looked down on everyone, they were known for always causing trouble.
Uchiha Fugaku, the first to realize this, seriously told his father and the elder Uchiha Setsuna: "Father, Elder Setsuna, Kai has fulfilled his promise to us. The Uchiha clan is no longer alone, but has many allies and supporters!"
"Although this was obtained through the exchange of interests, as Kai said, between clans, emotions are shallow; only interests are real."
"So, we must not fail the great opportunity Kai has opened for us. From now on, we must restrain our clan members and never let them continue to be arrogant and randomly make enemies."
"As Kai said, pride is a virtue, but when it's taken too far and becomes arrogance, it turns into original sin!"
After hearing Uchiha Fugaku's serious and stern words, both Uchiha Seijiro and Uchiha Setsuna nodded in deep agreement.
They were very aware of how arrogant their clan members could be and knew well that their actions often offended others. They understood that controlling some of their clan's behaviors was necessary.
Otherwise, even with the favorable situation they had now, their clan members could easily ruin it all with their arrogance.
Of course, the specifics of how to approach this would need to be discussed thoroughly when they returned, but for now, what they needed to do was continue supporting Uchiha Kai and help him expand the game.
At this moment, Uchiha Kai had finished reviewing the mall system and the emotional value exchange system.
Both of these features were simple and straightforward – the 'store' and 'gacha' system found in many money-grabbing mobile games.
The emotional value exchange system was the classic gacha, where you spend a certain amount of emotional value to pull a ten-time draw.
The pool contained everything, so whatever you pulled wasn't surprising, and there was no guaranteed outcome.
Even the gacha pool in Uchiha Kai's past life's mobile games was better, as it was purely based on luck for what you could get.
As for the store, it displayed various items, each with a limited purchase quantity. The items were refreshed monthly. The better the item, the fewer times it could be purchased.
For example, this month's store included a 'Mental Power Enhancement Potion,' which could only be purchased once.
It permanently increased the user's mental power by 10%, marketed with the noble-sounding percentage.
The item description was typical—enhanced mental power would improve the user's work efficiency and ability to handle overtime work.
What a 'noble' corporate slave training tool.
Uchiha Kai was increasingly understanding the true nature of this system—it was trying to turn him into a master of creating overworked, high-efficiency people.
Nevertheless, that didn't stop Uchiha Kai from immediately exchanging for the Mental Power Enhancement Potion.
This mall didn't use emotional value; instead, it used in-game currency converted from real-world game sales.
The system has automatically converted today's sales, and for every hundred thousand sales, you can earn 1 point of mall exchange currency.
However, the converted portion is limited to what the system has approved in its tasks.
For example, if the task that fully activated the system sold a total of 100 million sales, the system would directly convert it into 1000 mall exchange points.
Although the Mental Strength Enhancement Potion requires 600 mall exchange points, Uchiha Kai can easily afford it after the conversion.
After the exchange, the potion automatically entered Uchiha Kai's system inventory. He took a look and found that he could choose to use it directly or take it out.
Clearly, the items weren't restricted to only Uchiha Kai using them; he could also choose to give them to others.
If he were stronger, he could even give things to others, but right now, he was too weak and had no choice. So, he decisively decided to use it himself.
Thus, the potion was used with Uchiha Kai even drinking it.
In an instant, Uchiha Kai's mental strength noticeably increased, and his chakra also rose along with his improved mental power.
Moreover, Uchiha Kai could clearly feel a warm flow passing through his brain and entering his eyes, making them feel a bit sore. He instinctively closed them and rubbed them a little.
When the discomfort subsided and he reopened his eyes, Uchiha Kai realized his vision had undergone a noticeable change—his eyes were now in the state of the Sharingan.
However, compared to his previous Sharingan, his eyes now had a clear improvement in sharpness, and the movements of others seemed to slow down significantly.
This made Uchiha Kai's heart stir, and he immediately went to find a mirror to check.
Then, the two tomoe Sharingan in his eyes was clearly reflected.
His Sharingan had finally broken through the limitations of his bloodline and completed its upgrade!
At the same time, Uchiha Kai realized that the skills he had mastered through his mental network resonated with his upgraded Sharingan, allowing him to instantly understand that he could do things he couldn't achieve with the one-tomoe Sharingan.
For example...
He could try to use the Sharingan to transfer the 'port' of the mental network onto another person, establishing a connection with them and allowing them to help him create games!
