What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?.

Chapter 439 Konoha's Scientific Research Scheme, Uchiha Itachi's Rinnegan Awakens (4K)

Soon, Madara Uchiha discovered the ultimate freedom of the game. He would steal other people's vehicles, fight the guards in the town, and fight to his heart's content. He would either be killed because he couldn't win, or he would simply run away and play a cat-and-mouse game with the guards.

Afterwards, he collected resources, built houses, or crafted various props and tools. Due to the high degree of freedom and numerous recipes, even a blade of grass on the road could have its use, which turned Uchiha Madara into a garbage collector, who would even pack up and take away all the garbage on the roadside.

Without following the main storyline, Madara Uchiha spent a whole day exploring freely without even realizing it.

The ultimate experience of freedom captivated Madara Uchiha, and when he came to his senses, he realized that a day had already passed, which he found unbelievable. He then quickly logged out of the game to find Muko.

Then, he discovered that Mu Zi hadn't left the game yet, so he could only contact Mu Zi using the friend function of the Illusion Network.

When Mu Zi came out, she was excitedly telling everyone how fun the new game was, and she even asked 'Senior Radama' how far the main storyline had progressed, and whether the storyline to go to Fire City, the first city in the wasteland, had been unlocked.

This left Madara Uchiha speechless and somewhat embarrassed. After all, he had spent the entire day freely exploring without making any progress on the main storyline, yet he still seemed to be having a lot of fun, which was truly absurd.

Of course, to save face, Madara Uchiha wouldn't say that he was having too much fun and forgot about the main storyline. So he just coughed and said that he had spent a day carefully studying the various elements of the game and had learned quite a lot that would greatly help advance the main storyline and allow him to learn some things that he could use later.

In addition, Madara Uchiha discovered that the various recipes and crafting methods for various items in the game could be achieved in the real world. Even the peculiar vehicle called a motorcycle, based on his relevant knowledge, he determined that it could be made in the real world if the right materials were found.

In other words, those recipes are real, but the production method is not as convenient as in the game; you only need to complete the 'loading' process to finish making them.

Regarding this matter, Old Madara also offered his insightful observation. When he got to this point, he said with a playful look in his eyes, "Speaking of which, this is quite interesting. Since these formulas are genuine and can be used directly in the real world, why did Konoha release them? Aren't they afraid that people will learn things they shouldn't?"

"You know, many things in this game are very advanced even in the ninja world. Since it is possible to replicate them in the real world, wouldn't Konoha lose a lot of benefits for nothing if those things were replicated? It might even be considered aiding the enemy."

"Is Konoha simply being foolish, or is it playing a much bigger game?"

As he spoke, he murmured, genuinely curious about it.

Madara Uchiha didn't believe in stupidity at all. After all, he had already met Uchiha Itachi and been tricked into joining the 'side of justice' by Uchiha Itachi. How could he possibly underestimate Konoha now?

Therefore, Konoha must have its reasons for doing this, it's just that Madara Uchiha can't understand them yet.

Mu Zi's expression was subtle, and she didn't say anything.

Actually, he had heard about this from his younger brother, Tobirama Senju, who said that given the current state of the ninja world, replicating things from the game wouldn't be a big problem. Those with excellent craftsmanship could easily create similar items in the real world if they found the right materials.

In fact, Uchiha Itachi and his group also hoped that those people could accomplish these things, and even Orochimaru and his group strongly advocated for this.

Because, in a sense, this also represents research and development capabilities, a means of discovering talent and finding suitable technologies, and a screening process that Uchiha Itachi and his group used through the game.

Perhaps many talented individuals from other villages will emerge from among them, and they will be able to use the elements replicated in the game in other villages to enhance their abilities.

Without a doubt, this kind of thing would have been considered aiding the enemy in the past, an extremely foolish act of having one's intellectual property stolen, and a prime example of courting death.

However, this is not the case for Konoha now.

Because Konoha had already completed its initial industrialization.

The overwhelming technological and productivity dominance of industrialized nations over non-industrialized nations is akin to a dimensional reduction attack. The various useful items and even weapons of war from those games, once replicated in the real world, would be directly incorporated into Konoha, leading the Land of Fire and their allies in large-scale production to compete against the backward handicraft workshops of other nations.

Basically, it's equivalent to comparing the backward and ignorant Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century with the British Empire, which had completed the Second Industrial Revolution. It's like comparing other countries and powers to Konoha.

As for the idea that other countries would hide their successful research and development of related technologies in the real world, that would be too naive. Don't forget that the White Zetsu are now completely controlled by Uchiha Itachi. With the White Zetsu responsible for gathering intelligence, what other forces can use to hide their technological research and replication?
Basically, Konoha would know immediately if other forces successfully developed and replicated it.

Therefore, in this wave, Konoha used the numerous technical formulas and the super freedom in the new game to get other forces that had not yet joined them to spend their own money to help Konoha with research and development for free.

Although Konoha itself could actually do it, that would waste a lot of time and money and be a huge exploitation of talent—the various crafting and synthesis recipes in the game are real, but they are based on materials from the mental network system, which are achieved using Earth technology.

The same thing, when placed in the ninja world, will inevitably need to be modified and optimized to suit the ninja world environment, and implemented using materials available in the ninja world.

This process involves various trials and errors to find suitable alternative materials, all of which require time and money and are costs.

However, the effect of this new game is that it can directly transfer a large amount of costs and conflicts, making full use of the resources of all forces in the ninja world, while other forces are completely unaware of this. They may even be overjoyed because the new game contains various advanced item production methods, and think that Konoha is too stupid to do such an act of aiding the enemy.

Of course, some people will be puzzled and suspicious, wondering if Konoha has a conspiracy behind this, since overly foolish behavior will always arouse suspicion.

However, those suspicions ultimately couldn't do anything to Konoha, because the game was released to the public, and all factions could play it and naturally obtain relevant information.

When information becomes public, it naturally becomes a situation where "if you don't study it, the opposing forces will, and whoever develops results first will gain the upper hand," thus creating a variant of the arms race and forcing all parties to get involved.

This can be considered a well-intentioned but ultimately deliberate strategy.

Hashirama Senju had heard all this before, but his mind couldn't fully comprehend it; he just thought, "Holy crap, how can these people be so evil?"

Of course, that's just his opinion. Although Hashirama Senju thought Uchiha Itachi and the others were cunning, he wouldn't cause trouble. He just needed to do his own thing, play his role as Moko well, and enjoy the game. Well, since Moko didn't know these things, he couldn't tell Madara Uchiha, as Madara was still unaware that Moko was Hashirama Senju.

As for whether we'll know in the future, only God knows.

Right now, Mu Zi suggests trying the online mode together. Single-player mode can be played later; the online experience is the best.

Madara Uchiha naturally agreed without hesitation, but his smile quickly faded as Kenshin Uzumaki, his annoying fiancé from Muko, reappeared and joined the online multiplayer game.

It can only be said that Madara Uchiha gets angry whenever he sees Kenshin Uzumaki, but he is helpless against him because of Muko.

Faced with the choice between being humiliated and being angry, Madara Uchiha chose to be humiliated and angry.

……

While "The Last Ninja" caused a huge sensation, its incredibly rich content gave players an unprecedented experience. According to backend queries, 70% of players who play illusion games and are connected to the illusion network are playing "The Last Ninja". Among various games, "The Last Ninja" also occupies half of the market.

For players of the ninja world, The Last Ninja is undoubtedly a feast for the senses, offering a variety of interesting content that can captivate players from all walks of life.

It's fair to say that if the game hadn't released a survey, Uchiha Itachi would have undoubtedly seen the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Furthermore, just as Uchiha Itachi and his group had planned, after discovering that the various recipes and production methods in the game could be realized in the real world, various forces immediately began to research and investigate this matter and had professionals evaluate it.

After realizing that many things, while not directly craftable like in the game, could be replaced by substituting materials, the various factions became restless.

A professional game strategy team was directly deployed into the game. Their task was to conduct in-depth analysis of the game, collect more recipes and materials, and explore the game content more thoroughly to see if there were any other useful things hidden inside.

Then, various research groups and teams emerged, whose task was to replicate various things in the real world.

For example, the various vehicles and flight backpacks that allow people to fly, as long as they are assessed as having the potential to be replicated in the real world, have all been allocated research resources.

In response to this situation, while many people ridiculed Konoha for being too foolish, a small number of people were worried, feeling that Konoha shouldn't be that stupid and that there must be some unspeakable conspiracy hidden in it.

However, under the pressure of all parties working hard on research and development, and the risk of falling behind other villages, even if they suspected Konoha of having a conspiracy, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue with the research and development.

After all, in the ninja world, falling behind really means being attacked, and attacked badly!

Thus began an invisible scientific arms race.

This arms race even extended to the Second Ninja World. Although the Second Ninja World couldn't directly connect to the main world's illusion network, it had its own 'local area network'. Therefore, various game content could still be experienced. Even in areas without illusion network coverage, players could use the 'local area network' to play online. In short, all game content could be experienced.

As a result, the various factions that discovered that the recipes in the game could be replicated in the real world couldn't sit still. In the Ninja World No. 2, even the daimyo and nobles couldn't sit still.

After all, with the ninjas already out of control due to the Ninja Alliance and the Akatsuki organization posing a threat overhead, the daimyo and nobles are also experiencing intense unease, so they naturally won't miss the opportunity to strengthen their power.

Furthermore, vehicles like motorcycles and cars are very attractive to nobles and aristocrats. Even without a crisis, they are happy to conduct research so that they can use those cool vehicles in the real world.

In fact, this was also the source of various scientific research achievements before the technological explosion – only nobles and wealthy people who did not have to struggle for survival had the time and money to conduct various research. Before the technological explosion, the results of these researches were toys for those nobles and wealthy people, things that made noise and enhanced their image within their circles.

The various vehicles in the game perfectly meet the needs of nobles and wealthy people to show off, and if there is a possibility of replicating them in the real world, they would not mind investing a lot of money in related research.

Under these circumstances, half a month has passed.

Then, the main quest belonging to Uchiha Itachi finally came to a settlement day.

When the completion rate of 217% was displayed, what Uchiha Itachi saw was a celebratory effect projected by the system and visible only to him, followed by the related rewards.

Many things emerged as a result, among which the one that Uchiha Itachi cared about most was the skill upgrade mastered by the mental network system.

This time, Uchiha Itachi was not disappointed; his Mental Network Mastery skill finally reached LV5.

In an instant, the vast world of mental networks underwent a major upgrade, with more functions, stronger performance, and better results.

Furthermore, there is the upgraded impact brought about by the connection between the mental network and the Sharingan.

At this moment, the amplification, as if it truly possessed a world, arrived leisurely, providing ultimate enhancement to Uchiha Kei's Sharingan. The power, like the manifestation of rules, directly caused his eye power to surge, increase wildly, and explode!
Uchiha Itachi already possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and since the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is directly and highly bound to life and spirit, strengthening the Sharingan often leads to strengthening the Uchiha's body as well.

This time was no exception. Uchiha Itachi felt a sublimation of his life level. As his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was activated, a chain reaction was formed in the process of upgrading.

Unwittingly, Yin-Yang Release, representing the source of chakra, manifested in Uchiha Itachi's hands and was under his free control. His Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan also underwent a new round of qualitative evolution, eventually transforming into the Rinnegan, the same type as Uchiha Sasuke's.
