Chapter 39: Chapter 31 : Game Scroll!!
Once the general direction was set, the next step was to discuss the details of gathering people to grow stronger together.
Although there was still some discomfort about sharing the Uchiha clan's secret techniques with outsiders, this was for the future of the Uchiha clan. It was a necessary sacrifice to achieve greater rewards in the long run.
Because of this reasoning, the Uchiha leadership felt deeply guilty. After all, if they were to share the power of their secret techniques, the one making the biggest sacrifice would be Uchiha Kai.
He should not have had to share the good things he created with others. It was only because of the Uchiha clan's dire situation that Uchiha Kai had been held back.
This was the collective failure and shame of the entire Uchiha clan, something they needed to deeply reflect upon and atone for.
Especially when they thought about the difficult days Uchiha Kai had endured in the past, it made the Uchiha leadership feel even more ashamed and regretful.
With this mindset, their guilt only intensified, and they began to adopt a mentality similar to Uchiha Setsuna's—no matter the cost, the Uchiha clan would defeat the Konoha higher-ups!
Wait, no. It should be: no matter the cost, the Uchiha clan would unwaveringly stand behind Uchiha Kai, helping this person who, despite being treated unfairly, still sought to lead the Uchiha clan to glory by putting everything on the line!
Yes, at least in this moment, Uchiha Kai was viewed by the Uchiha leadership as someone on a completely different level.
As for Uchiha Kai, his task of persuading the Uchiha clan was finally complete, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, the result exceeded his expectations. Originally, all he had prepared for was to gain a bit of support from the Uchiha clan and protection until he grew stronger.
Who would have thought that the Uchiha clan's reaction would be so overwhelming, completely swayed on the spot?
It could only be said that the so-called 'Hokage-like thinking' had a huge impact on these Uchihas. The classic principle that the more something is lacking, the more they yearn for it.
Moreover, it's particularly easy to fall into extremes, achieving a diode-like change, and the thought process isn't something that an average person can understand.
However, "clearing" the Uchiha clan is no more than completing a beginner village quest.
In other words, the Uchiha clan is very special, and their situation is particularly grim. Adding the special boost of the Genjutsu game to the Uchihas is what gave Uchiha Kai the chance to deceive these high-ranking Uchiha members.
If it were any other ninja clan, no matter how eloquent Uchiha Kai was, it would've been useless. At most, he would've gained some support from the clan for his career, and even the so-called secret techniques would be completely forbidden from being used outside the clan.
By the time it was almost evening, Uchiha Kai left the Uchiha clan and returned home.
It was also that day that Uchiha Kai's surrounding houses were quietly bought by the Uchiha clan. Several Uchiha members, led by Uchiha Naori, moved into those houses.
These were Uchiha clan members sent to protect Uchiha Kai.
Originally, the high-ranking Uchihas intended to have Uchiha Kai return to the Uchiha compound to live, with all the mansion arrangements made for him.
However, in the end, Uchiha Kai refused.
After all, living in the Uchiha compound was really inconvenient, and Uchiha Kai also had his own plans.
The next day, Uchiha Kai went straight to find Uzumaki Kushina, and they began researching the possibility of sealing the Genjutsu game into a sealing scroll for external promotion.
During this process, Uchiha Kai also brought Uchiha Naori along.
The rewards from completing the previous task allowed Uchiha Kai to enhance his mastery of the mental network skill.
Now, his usage of it was far superior to before. One of the improvements was his ability to borrow the eye power of others through the mental network to help himself.
Naturally, Uchiha Naori, the elite tool sent by the Uchiha clan, was to be utilized.
Without a doubt, this action was somewhat radical, but for Uchiha Kai, the most important thing now was to make the most of his time.
The task deadline was only a month, and there wasn't much time left. Since he had already secured the support of the Uchiha clan for the foreseeable future, it was only natural that he would maximize his efficiency.
With this posture, giving it their all, the progress of the development became incredibly fast.
It was as if there was a series of tasks laid out, and all that needed to be done was complete each stage one by one to finish the entire series of tasks.
To be honest, this didn't feel like developing new technology at all. Everyone who joined the development team, including Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, was astonished.
It was going too smoothly, so smoothly that it felt like the project leader, Uchiha Kai, had already planned everything out in detail. The others only needed to help Uchiha Kai carry out the pre-made plans.
Whenever a problem arose, Uchiha Kai could quickly find the answer and solution, solving the issue at once.
It was as if they were following a guide.
So, why was this happening?
The answer was simple.
The upgraded mental network skill boost!
Although the artificial intelligence system was rather useless, the things it provided were genuinely useful.
[Mental Network Mastery: Level 2]
This was the skill level displayed on the system panel after Uchiha Kai completed the skill upgrade.
The highest level was Level 5, at which point they would have fully mastered the skills related to the mental network.
Right now, though, with only Level 2 in Mental Network Mastery, the enhancement was already significant.
Unlike systems that required learning knowledge before applying it, the game development system's skills felt more like a "dummy-proof" version.
For example, when developing the Genjutsu game porting sealing scrolls, there was often a problem that required deep thought and calculations.
They would need to do multiple rounds of research and experimentation to overcome the difficulties.
However, under the influence of the Level 2 Mental Network Mastery, once the relevant problem was encountered, all Uchiha Kai had to do was look at it, and the related knowledge would automatically surface in their mind, allowing them to find the solution.
Thinking is still necessary, but it doesn't require overexerting your brain cells. Often, a bit of careful thought is all it takes to find a solution.
Similarly, if the problem exceeds the level of control the 2nd-tier mental network skill should have, the skill will not provide feedback or an answer.
There's no doubt that this kind of behavior, when applied to anything related to research and development, is like truly "cheating."
But...
Since there's already a system, isn't it supposed to be fair game?
Uchiha Kai thought it was silly not to make full use of the upgraded mental network skill advantage. So, with a team of assistants, he rapidly pushed forward the progress.
In the end, it only took three days to complete the technology for transplanting the Genjutsu game onto the sealing scroll.
Using Uchiha Naori's Sharingan and Uzumaki Kushina's sealing techniques and chakra, Uchiha Kai directly controlled the process, successfully transplanting the entire "Return Home" onto the scroll.
At that moment, everyone involved in the development was thrilled, and a strong sense of achievement flooded their hearts, knowing they were making history and shaping the future. The smiles on everyone's faces were filled with pride.
