What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

Uchiha Akira fully demonstrated what it meant to be arrogant and dismissive before the game, and completely confused and disoriented after it started.

Especially when he forced himself to begin the game, and then, upon reaching the first scare point, felt his body completely out of control. 

The female ghost was right beside him, declaring fear, which left him in a state of complete disarray.

Facing a situation where his body had lost all control, unable to move, and with his fate's throat being squeezed, he felt the suffocating terror of death. This pushed his fear levels to an extreme.

His Sharingan activated automatically, the three tomo spiraling continuously as cold sweat flowed uncontrollably.

Even his physical body in the real world trembled due to his consciousness entering the illusionary game. 

The Uchiha clan members who couldn't enter the observation mode watched in shock, not understanding what was happening to Uchiha Akira. Those who were more familiar with him were even more surprised.

After all, they had never seen Uchiha Akira react to fear in such an intense way.

By the way, Uchiha Kai had 'kindly' blocked the player's perception of the outside world, so Uchiha Akira couldn't hear any of the conversations or words from others.

So, at this moment, when the Uchiha members saw Uchiha Akira collapse and kneel weakly on the ground after the female ghost walked away, their thoughts were all over the place. They felt that Uchiha Akira lacked some psychological resilience.

It couldn't be helped. From the God's-eye view, these Uchiha members didn't have the same visceral reaction that Uchiha Akira did.

While the appearance of the ghost had indeed startled them, as bystanders, they didn't feel as much fear.

In fact, several of them were already murmuring to themselves, saying that if it were them, they would never have made such a fool of themselves.

Uchiha Kai watched it all in silence, merely smiling.

After all, some things could only be fully understood through personal experience, not just by observation.

And also…

I'm enjoying how tough you all sound right now.jpg.

Losing courage now would probably mean the end of Uchiha Akira's life as an Uchiha.

Therefore, Uchiha Akira could only grit his teeth and continue forward.

Even though cold sweat continuously dripped down, even though his Sharingan couldn't deactivate, even though his fear was completely uncontrollable, Uchiha Akira could only force himself to move forward.

Soon, he reached a place where the path split into three options.

However, this time there was a change. The three paths had turned into just one, which was clearly a special modification for the trial version.

Turning the three paths into one randomly chosen path significantly reduced the chakra and ocular power consumption needed when sealing the game.

The path Uchiha Akira encountered was red, representing slaughter and battle.

When Uchiha Akira entered the red domain, he was ambushed by enemies, much like the ones Uchiha Fugaku had faced.

Due to the loss of courage from his previous encounter, Uchiha Akira was caught off guard by the sudden attack of the bloodthirsty humans, and he was in a very helpless state. The weak body of the game character also made him struggle.

As a result, Uchiha Akira experienced his first death in the game, and it was also his first death in real life—an incredibly realistic death experience that nearly left him in a daze, with his mind falling into complete blankness.

During this process, his Sharingan's tomoe spun wildly, and it seemed to undergo some changes.

However, perhaps due to a lack of sufficient bloodline power, this change was different from the process Uchiha Fugaku underwent toward the Mangekyō Sharingan yesterday. It was simply an improvement on the basic three-tomoe Sharingan.

When Uchiha Akira finally regained his senses, a significant amount of time had passed. He was lying on the ground, drenched in cold sweat, gasping heavily, his condition very poor.

A few Uchiha who had been watching all of this didn't know what to say. They had entered the red domain alongside Uchiha Akira and had witnessed everything that happened there, including the brutality of the bloodthirsty humans and Uchiha Akira's death.

As always, as observers, they couldn't truly empathize with Uchiha Akira. They only thought his reaction was quite exaggerated and wondered just how big the gap was between the player's actual experience and their own experience as observers. 

Why did it seem like Uchiha Akira was about to collapse entirely after dying in the illusion world?

Could it be that even the experience of death was incredibly realistic?

Indeed, Uchiha Fugaku had also said that the experience of death in the illusion game was incredibly realistic.

However, because there was no actual experience or reference point, Uchiha Fugaku's words did not have the same impact on the Uchihas.

In the end, after being revived, Uchiha Akira shakily stood up. He gazed at the red passageway, a flash of fear flickering in his eyes.

Yet, after experiencing the feeling of death firsthand but not actually dying, Uchiha Akira had a breakthrough in his courage. 

He was no longer overwhelmed with fear or the instinctual urge to flee, which he hadn't even recognized in himself before. Instead, he chose to confront the crisis head-on.

With that, Uchiha Akira charged into the red domain once more and began fighting the bloodthirsty figures within it.

Thanks to his newfound courage, Uchiha Akira didn't die immediately this time. 

Instead, he began to grapple with the bloodthirsty figures using the body of his game character, showcasing the battle experience and wisdom he had accumulated over the years. 

In an instant, he even managed to kill several of the bloodthirsty figures, demonstrating the combat ability that an elite Uchiha should possess.

However, relying on just these skills wasn't enough to deal with all the bloodthirsty figures. They seized an opportunity, injuring him, and then swarmed him, ultimately killing Uchiha Akira once again.

At that moment, the revived Uchiha Akira's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

After all, the feeling of death was far from pleasant, especially for an Uchiha like him. After fighting with all his strength, it was even worse knowing that he couldn't defeat a mere group of cannon fodder.

Even though the body he was using was a game character and not his own, the sensory experience was still quite unpleasant.

Several of the Uchihas watched this unfold, each with their own thoughts. 

Some believed it wasn't Uchiha Akira's fault, but rather that the game character's body was too weak. 

Others thought there were too many enemies. 

Still, others felt that Uchiha Akira's battle skills weren't up to par, which is why he couldn't break through the enemy's defense.

As the leaders of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Seijiro and the Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna had witnessed much more.

Uchiha Seijiro had seen the true nature of the genjutsu game. Even though Uchiha Akira knew it was fake, even though he had already experienced much throughout the entire genjutsu game, the intense psychological impact was unavoidable.

The strong influence on one's mindset, combined with the incredibly realistic experience, made it no wonder that his son, Uchiha Fugaku, would say the genjutsu game had such a significant effect on the Uchiha clan.

Now, Uchiha Seijiro was completely convinced that his son's judgment was correct.

As for Uchiha Setsuna, a veteran of the Warring States period, aside from confirming that the genjutsu game had a huge impact on the Uchiha clan, he had also realized that this genjutsu game was a great place for military training.

The incredibly realistic experiences, and the enemies fought within it—each one cunning and ruthless.

Such an extreme illusion, without a doubt, was a sacred training ground for the Uchiha, and for all ninjas in general.

Moreover, the flexibility of this genjutsu game was extraordinarily high. From ordinary ninjas to Jonins, anyone who wanted to hone their combat skills, awareness, and experience could enter the genjutsu game to fight against fake enemies.

Just witnessing Uchiha Akira's "performance" alone, Uchiha Setsuna could already confirm with certainty that the words and judgment spoken by Uchiha Fugaku yesterday were entirely true, without a shred of falsehood. 

In fact, he even thought they had been too conservative.

This secret technique created by Uchiha Kai was absolutely the kind of clan secret that could ensure the prosperity of the Uchiha clan for the next thousand years!
