Uchiha ishi fully embodied the phrase: arrogant before the ga, disoriented after.
Especially after forcing himself to start the ga, and then experiencing that first scare—his body totally out of his control, a vengeful spirit whispering terror right beside him—he was completely undone.
Faced with total bodily paralysis, unable to move, and the choking dread of imminent death, his fear skyrocketed.
His Sharingan activated automatically, the three tomoe spinning wildly. Cold sweat poured down uncontrollably.
Even his physical body in the real world was shaking violently from the ntal imrsion in the genjutsu-based ga, shocking those Uchiha who weren't observing the ga directly. They had no idea what was happening to ishi, and those who knew him were even more astonished.
After all, no one had ever seen Uchiha ishi react with such intense fear.
As a side note, Uchiha Kei had "considerately" disabled external perception for players, so ishi couldn't hear anyone else's voice or comntary.
So, when the female spirit left and ishi collapsed limply to the ground, the spectating Uchiha had mixed reactions—many thought his ntal fortitude was lacking.
They couldn't help it—viewing from a god's-eye perspective just wasn't the sa as experiencing it firsthand.
Sure, the ghost had startled them when it appeared, but since they were only watching, it wasn't that terrifying.
So even muttered that if it were them playing, they definitely wouldn't have embarrassed themselves like that.
Uchiha Kei watched in silence, smiling faintly.
Because so things… you just can't understand until you experience them yourself.
Also—
"I love how bold and cocky you all are right now\\.jpg."
Eventually, Uchiha ishi forced himself to move again. Even though he didn't want to continue, the fact that several people were observing him—and many more were watching from the real world—ant he couldn't afford to give up.
Losing his nerve here would be the end of him as an Uchiha.
So he gritted his teeth and pushed forward.
Even with sweat pouring down his face, even though he couldn't deactivate his Sharingan, even though his fear was written all over him, Uchiha ishi had no choice but to push on.
Soon, he reached a three-path junction.
Only, this ti, there was a change: instead of three paths to choose from, only one remained. Clearly, this was a modification exclusive to the trial version of the ga.
By reducing the path count to one randomized route, it greatly lowered the chakra and ocular power consumption during ga packaging.
The path Uchiha ishi encountered was the red one—signifying slaughter and battle.
As he stepped into the red zone, he was imdiately ambushed by the sa bloodthirsty enemies that Uchiha Fugaku had once faced.
Still shaken by his earlier experience, ishi reacted clumsily to the blood n's sudden assault, and the frail body of the in-ga avatar only made things harder.
And so, Uchiha ishi experienced his first in-ga death. Which also happened to be his first encounter with death—an unbearably vivid simulation that left his mind completely blank.
His Sharingan spun furiously during this, showing signs of change.
Only, perhaps due to insufficient bloodline strength, the transformation differed from Uchiha Fugaku's near-evolution to Mangekyō—it was rely a subtle enhancent beyond the usual three tomoe.
When ishi ca to, quite a bit of ti had passed. He was lying face-down, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, clearly in terrible shape.
The Uchiha who had witnessed everything didn't know what to say. They'd followed ishi into the red zone and had seen everything—the ferocity of the blood n and ishi's brutal death.
Once again, as spectators, they couldn't feel what ishi felt. They just found his reaction… extre.
They began to question: just how different was the player's experience from that of an observer? Why did dying once in a genjutsu ga leave ishi so devastated?
Was death in the ga truly that real?
Of course, Uchiha Fugaku had said the sa—that the death experience in the ga felt painfully real.
But without personally experiencing it or a fra of reference, the other Uchiha hadn't taken Fugaku's words to heart.
Now revived and regaining his senses, Uchiha ishi trembled as he stood up. When he looked at the red passage, fear flickered in his eyes.
Yet after personally experiencing death and coming back, ishi had grown. He was no longer paralyzed by fear or ruled by subconscious urges to flee. Instead, he chose to face the threat head-on.
He charged into the red zone once more and began to fight the blood n again.
Thanks to his newfound courage, he didn't die imdiately this ti. Using his avatar's body, he dodged and countered, leveraging his years of battle-hardened experience. He even managed to take down several blood n, showing the strength expected of an elite Uchiha.
But experience and technique alone weren't enough to eliminate all the blood n. Eventually, they landed a blow, sward him, and killed him again.
Upon reviving, ishi's expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Dying felt awful—especially for an Uchiha. To fight with everything you had and still lose to a mob of trash enemies was a deeply humiliating experience.
Even if the body was just a digital avatar, the sensory input felt just as real.
The observing Uchiha all processed what they saw differently. So blad the avatar's physical weakness. Others thought the enemies were too nurous. Still others criticized ishi's technique.
But the clan head, Uchiha Masanobu, and the great elder, Uchiha Setsuna, saw more.
Masanobu noted the ga's realism. Even though ishi knew it was fake—and had already endured so much—his mindset had still been profoundly shaken.
That kind of emotional impact combined with ultra-realistic experience… no wonder Fugaku had said this genjutsu ga was invaluable for the Uchiha.
Now, Masanobu could fully confirm his son's judgnt.
As for Uchiha Setsuna—having lived through the Warring States Era—he saw even more. Beyond validating the ga's effectiveness, he realized this genjutsu was the perfect training ground.
Its realism. Its ruthless enemies. Such an extre environnt was ideal for training—Uchiha or otherwise.
Moreover, the ga was highly adaptable. Whether you were a regular shinobi or an elite, anyone looking to refine their combat instincts and experience could benefit from facing these illusionary foes.
Having watched ishi's performance alone, Setsuna could slam the table in approval. Everything Uchiha Fugaku had claid the day before was true—if anything, he'd been too modest.
This secret art created by Uchiha Kei would undoubtedly beco the cornerstone of the Uchiha clan's prosperity for the next thousand years!
