When Sarutobi Hiruzen, the 'strongest Hokage,' successfully released gold coins, it marked the complete opening of Uchiha Kai's Genjutsu Game among the higher-ups of Konoha.
This also meant that everyone in Konoha, from top to bottom, had become users of the Genjutsu Game.
Uchiha Kai was very satisfied with this because it meant the position of the Genjutsu Game had become very stable.
As long as nothing unexpected happened, no one could shake its position.
And right now, only he could make the Genjutsu Game; only the Uchiha could produce it, symbolizing the Uchiha's irreplaceability.
Anyone who wanted to harm the Uchiha would first have to face the forces and individuals who benefited from the Genjutsu Game.
At this point, if someone wanted to move against the Uchiha, many people would be more anxious than the Uchiha clan itself.
Basically, as long as the Uchiha clan stopped acting recklessly, they would be in an invincible position.
Fortunately, the internal situation of the Uchiha clan was quite good now.
The behaviors that were once criticized had been greatly improved under the strict measures taken by people like Uchiha Setsuna.
At least recently, it was heard that the reputation of Konoha's Police Force was improving.
Also, there were rumors that the Uchiha clan was planning to recruit people from other clans into the Konoha Police Force.
Without a doubt, this news was released by the high-ups of the Uchiha clan, though there was considerable opposition within the clan.
After all, most Uchihas viewed the Konoha Police Force as their own domain, one that shouldn't be interfered with by outsiders.
In fact, if it weren't for the suggestion made by Uchiha Kai, the Uchiha clan's high-ups would never have agreed to allow outsiders to take part in the Police Force.
However, Uchiha Kai persuaded them with logical reasoning and facts.
"Everyone, with the continuous production of Genjutsu games and the expanding scale of the Konoha Gaming Company, our Uchiha clan's manpower will soon be insufficient."
"In this case, is it really good to hold on tightly to all the positions in the Konoha Police Force? In my opinion, releasing some positions would be a win-win situation for the Uchiha clan."
"First, releasing positions will attract outsiders, gaining the goodwill of other ninja clans, and strengthening our alliances with them. This will make it possible for Uchihas to join forces in other clans in the future."
"Second, giving up some positions will also free up some of our Uchiha clan members. They can shine in the Konoha Gaming Company. "
"During the expansion period of this company, many mid-to-high level positions are available. If we, the Uchiha, don't take them, will we let other clans take them all?"
"Third, as the Konoha Police Force deals most with the common people of Konoha, our clan's responsibilities will inevitably lead to conflicts with civilians. Bringing in outsiders will help share the burden. It's better to have these new recruits handle certain things than to have us Uchihas do it directly. At least we won't bear unnecessary resentment and hatred."
"Besides these three advantages, there are many other benefits. When this is implemented, everyone will experience them directly. Furthermore, with the continued expansion of the Konoha Gaming Company, Konoha will face a population explosion and enter a period of rapid construction."
"In this situation, the Konoha Police Force, as it is now, can't maintain the public order. It needs expansion, which means more positions will be created. However, the Uchiha clan currently can't fill these positions."
"Rather than being forced to expand and face mockery and underestimation from other clans, it's better to recruit outsiders now. This way, we solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the Company and gain great prestige and benefits for the Uchiha clan."
After this analysis, the Uchiha leadership finally understood and decided to push for the recruitment of outsiders into the Konoha Police Force. They also gained a clear understanding of what Uchiha Kai meant by 'expanding the cake.'
Thus, the Uchiha leadership began pushing for the 'universalization' of the Konoha Police Force.
This is what the Uchiha clan is doing now, and they are quite active in it.
However, because compared to before, these are all good things, and because Danzo has already been subjected to rumors and Sarutobi Hiruzen's warnings, no one is hindering the Uchiha clan from pushing their reforms.
Even the two advisors of the Konoha Council turn a blind eye to the Uchiha clan's actions, and they even seem to enjoy it—since Konoha is already showing signs of potential full development, many past conflicts and issues can be hidden or even kicked aside.
Before the "rise period" ends, most problems will no longer be considered problems.
For Uchiha Kai, these matters have already been handed off, and whatever happens will be up to others.
After all, he's not the babysitter of the Uchiha clan.
He has laid out the strategy, and if things still go wrong, it's only fair to say that it makes sense that the Uchiha clan would be exterminated in the original story.
The two Golden Spirits the Third Hokage provided were immediately used by Uchiha Kai, then he decisively mocked old Hiruzen.
Even though he dropped Golden Spirits, he was still just an "African" (meaning unlucky), and all he got were purple items—a bottle of energy potion and a high-level survival kit for the wild.
Both were practically useless.
The drop rate for Golden Spirits is really low, and if this probability were on Earth, players would surely criticize it to the point where the ancestors would be cursed.
After using the energy potion, Uchiha Kai continued developing the game "Escape." The production of the game was nearing completion, and only a bit of final work was left before it could be released.
Also, Uchiha Kai had already decided who would play the game, and this person would also be the one testing the game's effects on Uchiha-specific skills.
Basically, if the chosen Uchiha player can successfully awaken their Sharingan in the game, other Uchiha with the potential for awakening would most likely be able to do so as well.
As a result, the Uchiha clan would enter the period with the highest number of Sharingan awakenings in history.
Even the Warring States era, where death was like the wind, couldn't compare to what was happening now.
