Chapter 468 - 468. Uchiha Kei Is About to Step into the Level of the Creator
UK:GSW Chapter 468. Uchiha Kei Is About to Step into the Level of the Creator
In the main world's Shinobi World War, the situation was trending toward stability, and both sides entered a stalemate.
Of course, this stalemate was deliberate on the Hidden Leaf's part.
In reality, they were nibbling away while consolidating newly seized lands, and continuously training civil servants who belonged to and were loyal to the Hidden Leaf, sending them to administer various locales, achieving power truly being delegated down to the countryside.
The model they referenced was Tōdai from before Uchiha Kei transmigrated.
To accomplish this, since the Hidden Leaf also had absolute force to blow up the entire shinobi world, there was naturally no need to hurry.
They did not even need to fear terrorist attacks and assassinations organized by other forces—White Zetsu would monitor those guys, and no stir would escape White Zetsu's surveillance.
In fact, the so-called Allied Shinobi Forces did try these things, and more than once, but each time ended in failure.
Not only did they fail to bring damage and trouble to the Hidden Leaf, they instead suffered heavy losses.
This made the ninja alliance understand that their every move was under the Hidden Leaf's control.
It was stifling, infuriating, and terrifying.
By this point, the Hidden Leaf's intentions were Sima Zhao's intentions—known to everyone—and in fact the Hidden Leaf had never thought of concealing its goal.
Precisely because of this, all sides were panic-stricken, for even knowing what the Hidden Leaf intended to do, they could not stop it.
They could only watch as the Hidden Leaf swallowed the entire shinobi world step by step, and then made the shinobi world keep changing according to its will.
This stoked anger and fury, yet there was nothing to be done.
Also, there is no shortage of smart people in the world.
Those who saw the situation clearly and knew they could not beat the Hidden Leaf were already considering a way out—some were even ready to defect.
In fact, along the borders of territories under Hidden Leaf control, people were running toward Hidden Leaf areas every day.
Not only ninjas, but also large numbers of civilians—refugees, to be precise.
War triggers turmoil.
Turmoil creates innumerable people fleeing for their lives.
This is unchangeable, and even the Hidden Leaf's planned control of the war's intensity is no exception.
On top of that, under a rigid social system that had persisted for a thousand years, those nobles and daimyo were the sort who—if they did even a little of what a human should—wouldn't be as inhuman as they were.
While pouring massive resources into the war, they would certainly think up ways to "make it up."
Then who were these feudal nobles best at extracting from to make it up?
Naturally, the powerless commoners with no capacity to resist.
In this extraordinary world, even the extraordinary power most necessary for resistance was held by the big shots.
The commoners could only endure exploitation, and their only means of resistance was to flee.
Especially in the face of war-born chaos like this, large-scale flight became inevitable.
Under such circumstances, the territories under Hidden Leaf control not only did not behave inhumanely, but instead upheld a high moral standard.
They settled all the people properly and harshly punished evildoers.
To the fleeing populace, that was an unimaginable paradise.
Thus, countless people began heading for Hidden Leaf–controlled regions, and every day the Hidden Leaf had to receive a large number of refugees.
This naturally jangled the nerves of those nobles and daimyo.
In a feudal era, population is a resource.
Although they did not treat people as people—did not treat those at the bottom as people—when the population hemorrhaged, they too would become alert and clamp down.
Many samurai and ninja were sent down to intercept refugees fleeing famine.
Such people would not act gently.
Killings and the like occurred as a matter of course, causing many civilian casualties.
The allied ninja side did not care about this at all.
Although there were surely people who couldn't bear to watch, under their superiors' orders, they could do nothing and could only watch.
But the Hidden Leaf would not just watch.
To the Hidden Leaf, the shinobi world's population would belong to them in the future.
The shinobi world's people were their people as well, the force for the shinobi world's future development.
How could they possibly allow slaughter to occur just like that?
What's more, these refugees were all running toward Hidden Leaf–controlled areas.
Thus cross-regional law enforcement by the Hidden Leaf appeared.
A large number of those with evil deeds were severely punished, and they erased some nobles along the way, too.
With such absolutely cold measures, they stated the Hidden Leaf's attitude—war is war.
The Hidden Leaf permits you to keep scraping by.
But if you lay hands on civilians, you will be sent straight down below!
The allied ninja side could not halt the Hidden Leaf's cross-regional law enforcement at all.
They could continue to exist only so long as the war did not stop because the Hidden Leaf intended it so, for the sake of smoothly taking control of everything in the shinobi world.
Without a doubt, this was a disgrace and also a slow suicide, rendering the allied shinobi side utterly helpless and forcing them to do as the Hidden Leaf demanded.
After all, a good death is not as good as a bad life.
Even knowing it was a slow suicide, so long as they could live for now, those nobles and daimyo would go all out to survive.
One could say the shinobi world's future could already be seen at a glance.
For this very reason, the village leaders of the Allied Shinobi Forces were already preparing for the future.
As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them.
Facing such a forceful Hidden Leaf that truly intended to overturn heaven and earth, they had to be perceptive.
After all, they weren't just ninja; they were village leaders bearing the fates of many people.
What they had to consider was not so simple.
Confronted with such a brand-new era, everyone needed to seriously think about the future, and even more to consider the futures of their clans and villages.
A brand-new order was being shaped in such circumstances.
With absolute productivity and armed force, the Hidden Leaf showed the shinobi world what a dimensionality-reduction strike was and what true mandate of heaven and momentum were, and the true era of peace belonging to the shinobi world was about to arrive.
In this process, Minato Namikaze, as the Hidden Leaf's commander of war, oversaw everything, while Tsunade, the Hokage, was responsible only for logistics.
Without doubt, this was paving the way for Minato Namikaze's elevation.
The achievement of unifying the shinobi world would make him the undisputed greatest Hokage-to-be, and when formal unification came, he would take the Hokage's seat.
Moreover, this would also be the final Hokage position.
When the shinobi world was fully unified, a thorough overhaul of the political system would be rolled out in step, and by then, the shinobi world's ruler would no longer be called "Hokage."
Therefore, when the era of the Hokage reached its peak was also when the Hokage became history.
Its system would have completed its mission and would also signify the curtain call of the ninja era.
After that, a brand-new Great Expansion Era would arrive.
And in such a situation, Uchiha Kei completed a new main quest from the system.
Only this time, it did not upgrade the skills his mental network had mastered, because those had already reached the highest level.
Therefore, the system granted Uchiha Kei an entirely new function.
This time it was mastery over mass projection—an entirely new function.
Its effect was akin to the projection feature in Yu-Gi-Oh!, able to produce images directly in the real world.
Only this function wasn't mere projection; besides images, it could be touched directly.
Of course, supporting tools were required.
According to the materials included in the technology, special suits or gloves needed to be made in order to have actual tactile sensation.
Without question, this was a function of extremely high technical content, black technology like the mental network system.
It was just that, placed in the shinobi world, this thing was rather chicken-ribbed, because the big stage of the shinobi world had all kinds of unique skills that could craft better effects without requiring such high technical content.
Even so, for Uchiha Kei, this gadget was like the mental network system—something that could be used in tandem with his own capabilities.
For example, with this projection function, Uchiha Kei could use it directly, pairing it with the Rinnegan's Imagination Materialization function.
In combination, the limitations of Imagination Materialization were directly broken.
Uchiha Kei could now let things materialized by Imagination Materialization exist long-term, no longer like before where they could only exist for a period of time.
Moreover, these substances were no longer mere temporary creations from twisting reality; they possessed actual texture, and the living beings conjured could even possess individual thought, achieving a true domain of creation.
For example, if Uchiha Kei directly created a fake Tsunade, that Tsunade would also possess thought.
Although not as vivid as the original, it would be like the Lord God's creation of humans in the novel Terror Infinity.
Without a doubt, this was the true domain of a Creator.
Although just the tip of the iceberg, it had indeed already touched upon it.
When others learned this news, "shocked" was no longer enough to describe it.
After her shock, Kaguya Otsutsuki directly stated that if Uchiha Kei consumed a Chakra Fruit and completed a leap in his level of life, he could surpass the vast majority of the Otsutsuki, becoming an existence incomparably close to the Otsutsuki God.
Because even within the Otsutsuki Clan, the hard-core skill Uchiha Kei now mastered was a creation domain that even the super Otsutsuki who had eaten many Chakra Fruits couldn't reach.
All that could be said was that although this game system was very brain-dead, its functions were truly powerful.
It also indirectly showed how lofty the status of the system's creator must be—undoubtedly a high-dimensional existence.
Only, to understand everything, Uchiha Kei still had to keep upgrading.
Only after truly "ascending" would he be qualified to discuss the secrets hidden therein.
Of course, the premise was that Uchiha Kei would be willing to probe them.
Anyway, for now Uchiha Kei had no mind to explore such things that might or might not be.
Compared to those, he looked forward more to the shinobi world truly achieving the ascension of its overall civilization.
Because when a civilization completes ascension, the energy it can erupt with is absolutely not comparable to a single person's crossing alone.
Perhaps, when the shinobi world truly completes ascension, he may yet be able to return to his true hometown—that world called Earth.
Returning home in silks and brocade—this is something etched deep in the soul of Chinese people.
Uchiha Kei had never forgotten this, not even after reincarnating.
And in just such a situation, with the help of Uchiha Kei's newly mastered perfected Imagination Materialization, the manufacturing technology for the Chakra Fruit was finally perfected, and directly entered a stage where multiples could be produced.
When this technology was achieved, it signified not only that Uchiha Kei could complete his promotion, but also that the fates of Kara and Isshiki Otsutsuki had entered their final countdown.
