What the hell is making games in the Ninja World?

Uchiha Madara undoubtedly started the genjutsu game with a mindset of both criticism and curiosity.

As the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, Madara had been hiding in the shadows of the ninja world for decades, but he wasn't just hiding. 

He had deeply researched various forbidden techniques in the ninja world, especially those developed by Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

Whenever something new appeared, Madara would find a way to acquire and study it, often dismissing it with a proud remark like "Is that all?", "It's somewhat interesting," or "Worthless."

So, when he learned that the genjutsu game was created by the Uchiha's younger generation and had been publicly released with great fanfare, as the Uchiha clan's expert in forbidden techniques, Madara naturally had to experience it and critique it himself.

Upon entering the genjutsu game, Madara immediately felt a dizzying sensation, the experience of being trapped in a genjutsu rushing toward him. And this wasn't just any genjutsu—it was on a level that could only be achieved with the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Interesting, they managed to mimic the genjutsu power of the Mangekyō Sharingan using a forbidden technique? Quite the idea," Madara commented coldly. His tone seemed dismissive, but in fact, such words coming from him were already a considerable compliment.

Then, Madara truly entered the game world, and just as he did, an electronic voice sounded.

[Monitoring detected that the player's physical condition is quite aged, which may affect the game experience. Would you like to use the "Elderly, Disabled, and Ill Players' Agreement" to restore your body to a healthier state for the genjutsu game?]

This was a safety protocol left in the game by Uchiha Kai, designed for players in poor physical condition. It ensured that even someone on their deathbed could still participate in the game and contribute their emotional value.

After hearing the game's prompt, Madara narrowed his eyes. "Restore my body to a healthier state? Hmph, a boring trick."

The evaluation was still filled with disdain, but he didn't refuse and wasn't surprised by what was happening in the genjutsu game—creating or imitating things with the Uchiha clan's genjutsu was not difficult.

Then, the game's safety protocol was activated, altering Uchiha Madara's character within the game.

When this former battlefield rose, the "Shura of the Ninja World," regained his senses, he found himself standing outside a large farm. 

His ailments and weaknesses from aging disappeared, replaced by a feeling of being in his prime, as if he had suddenly returned to the peak of his youth decades ago.

Healthy, powerful, with clear senses, and an abundance of untapped vitality.

Dominant! Strong! Forceful!

Madara's three-tomoe Sharingan opened almost instantly, and the overwhelming strength made him tighten his fists, wanting to leap into action.

Such overwhelming and powerful physical strength made Madara's brain buzz. It had been so long—so long—that he had forgotten the invincible feeling he once had during his youthful prime.

Although, due to his Sharingan not being the original, Madara had not yet regained the ultimate strength of his peak. However, the restoration of his youth, the resurgence of chakra and stimulation, was enough to make him addicted.

After a deep breath, Madara looked at his hands and instinctively clenched his fists to feel the health and immense vitality. The powerful sensation made him involuntarily close his eyes to savor the feeling.

After a while, Madara opened his eyes again, and an overwhelming, majestic aura erupted from his body, as if he had truly returned to the Warring States period decades ago. 

Back to the time when his only focus was Hashirama Senju, and he looked down with disdain at everything else in the world.

Madara, with his arms crossed, gazed ahead with his Sharingan open. Even though there was no one ahead, he still evaluated with pride and confidence: "As a toy to reminisce about the past, it's not bad."

"Moreover, this incredibly realistic illusion is undoubtedly the level that only the Mangekyō Sharingan can create. It must be based on the Mangekyō's inherent strong genjutsu ability."

"The Uchiha descendant who developed this secret technique is a genius in 'jutsu creation', rivaling that idiot Senju Tobirama."

Such an evaluation was definitely of the highest standard.

In Uchiha Madara's eyes, the highest praise for a person's talent was Senju Hashirama, and Hashirama was exceptionally unique—irreplaceable.

After Hashirama, came Senju Tobirama.

Even though Madara deeply despised Tobirama, he had to admit that Tobirama was undeniably a genius, especially in developing various secret techniques. 

When viewed without the "idealized" lens, Tobirama even surpassed Hashirama in that regard.

So, Madara's praise at this moment was truly extreme.

Afterward, Madara moved forward, triggering the system of the game Fruit Ninja. The annoying female NPC's provocative words immediately echoed, making Madara narrow his cold, distant eyes.

Then, when the female NPC summoned the cherry tree used for selecting difficulty, Madara faced the cherry bomb attacks from the tree without dodging. His blue chakra erupted in an instant.

In the next moment, a five- or six-meter-high blue skeletal giant appeared, its upper body materializing suddenly.

This was the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan—Susanoo!

Normally, this technique could only be activated with the Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, for Madara, activating Susanoo no longer required the Mangekyō Sharingan; the normal three-tomoe Sharingan was enough.

The only difference between the two was that the three-tomoe Sharingan could not activate the complete form of Susanoo.

As for now—just a mere cherry tree, the first form of Susanoo was enough.

Without needing to dodge the cherry bombs, the skeletal hand swung, shattering the cherry tree.

Then, the game system automatically determined that Madara had chosen the highest difficulty, and countless fruit plants began appearing, while the farm's size expanded drastically. 

The situation that Minato Namikaze once faced now confronted Madara directly.

Facing such a change, Madara was unafraid. With an arrogant snort, he muttered, "Boring tricks," before upgrading his Susanoo form. 

Then, with Susanoo's "invincible" defense, he moved forward, sweeping away the fruits from the farm.

This hellish mode, which was challenging and difficult for the Five Kage, was a simple mode for Madara—so simple that he didn't even need to lower his arms.

The "invincible" Susanoo had only reached the third form, covering the upper body in armor, and it easily pushed through. No attack could break through Susanoo's defense. All Madara needed to do was arrogantly march forward, reaching the end of the level.

After casually finishing the level, Madara disdainfully commented, "Boring."

Yes, he was indeed that proud, and he truly had the right to make such a remark.

For this battlefield Asura, the difficulty of the Kage level was no different from strolling through the Uchiha clan's garden.

However, a problem arose—would Fruit Ninja, a game like this, have no response to such a situation?

As we all know, due to the passage of time on Earth, many games have hidden Easter eggs, and challenging games often have hidden ultimate difficulty levels beyond their apparent highest difficulty.

Fruit Ninja, being a game designed for 'challenge', surely couldn't be without hidden content, right?

Uchiha Kai had already set up a hidden mode within it, which would only be triggered if someone managed to clear the hell mode within a minute.

This mode was mainly intended for the 'overpowered' individuals who would appear in the Naruto world in future after 'digital inflation,' and Uchiha Kai didn't even think there was any chance it would be triggered.

However, Uchiha Madara, an 'internal tester,' was much older and still came to play this illusionary game. So, the mode that was originally impossible to trigger was now triggered.

Just as Uchiha Madara was about to exit the game in boredom, the entire game world suddenly darkened, and the sky turned blood-red, as if the sky was bleeding endlessly, casting a sinister crimson hue over the entire game world.

This caused Uchiha Madara to freeze in place, and then he narrowed his eyes, looking ahead.

There, the voice of the female NPC sounded again, but this time it was accompanied by shrill screams and sharpness.

"Damn, damn, damn! Bastard, bastard, bastard!"

"How dare these insignificant creatures underestimate me! How dare they disrespect me!"

"Rude scum, do you think you've won? No, you haven't seen true hell!"

"Now, let me show you what a real 'fruit' looks like!"

In an instant, the originally cartoonish art style turned extremely dark, and the background music changed abruptly, becoming grand and sinister, echoing through the game world.

If there were any Earth-based transmigrators from China watching, they would definitely complain, "What the hell did you stitch in there? Isn't this the exclusive BGM of the A Chinese Ghost Story for Universal Salvation?"
