Chapter 459: Madara Uchiha: My Secret Has Been Found Out!

"Don't get agitated, Uncle."

Nawaki comforted him: "Perception-type skills have always been hot commodities. Many players have made a fortune by relying on perception skills and items refreshed in the 【Portable Mall】."

"If we're talking about strength."

"The notes left by Grandfather Hashirama state very clearly that looking across the entire ninja world, the Sharingan is the top-tier ocular jutsu."

Looking at the furious Madara Uchiha, Nawaki explained with clear logic.

He could also understand the reason for the black-haired uncle's irritability.

Anyone who spent hundreds of thousands of Reward Points to purchase the Mangekyo Sharingan, and even bought separately sold skills like Susanoo.

Suddenly hearing someone say that the Byakugan is the hottest ocular jutsu, they naturally couldn't accept it.

However, this is a common problem for newcomers.

Without a veteran player to lead the way, it is very easy to waste Reward Points on purchasing impractical game items.

Nawaki wasn't lying about the Sharingan; it is indeed very strong, a top-tier ocular jutsu across the ninja world.

But the negative effects of awakening the eyes, accompanied by the consumption of ocular power, cause vision to gradually be sealed until one is finally blinded.

Subsequent recovery and replenishment are also required.

This kind of skill that continuously consumes Reward Points in exchange for super-strong combat power is the same as martial arts-type Seven Injuries Fist or magic-type Forbidden Spells with powerful negative effects.

They are all skills for a small handful of players to use when they are desperate.

However, a perception ocular jutsu like the Byakugan can be used in normal combat, has lower consumption, and has no negative status effects.

Long-range players can exchange for the Byakugan to perform clairvoyance and long-distance strikes.

Melee players can exchange for the Byakugan to perform weakness detection.

It is a total jack-of-all-trades.

After various advantages are stacked, the Byakugan definitely counts as a best-selling item in the Samsara Game.

After listening to Nawaki's explanation, Madara Uchiha still had an ugly expression, but he said: "Is that so? As expected, the combat talent of the Sharingan is still irreplaceable."

There is actually no help for this.

In most worlds, the methods to become stronger are very monotonous and cannot be reconciled.

Life in the ninja world, if they want to control extraordinary energy, can only become a ninja, practice chakra, and awaken a Bloodline Limit.

Life in the Pirate World is about practicing Haki and searching for a Devil Fruit.

Worlds like those of the Claymore and Giants are even more difficult; extraordinary energy is all gathered in mutants like Yoma and Giants.

To control extraordinary energy, one needs to stuff Yoma flesh into their belly and suppress the risk of mutation and awakening.

Or eat a sentient Giant, shortening one's lifespan.

Thus,

The Sharingan, which only requires emotions and chakra after awakening to stage-by-stage explode in power and finally comes with high-power skills, would naturally be popular.

Orochimaru was so obsessed that he played a raising-sim game with Sasuke Uchiha, only to crash and burn.

Konohagakure marginalized the Uchiha Clan because of their fear of the Mangekyo Sharingan, expelling them from the upper echelons.

In the later stages, it was even more of a one-man show for the Sharingan.

An ocular jutsu of pure functionality like the Byakugan is not even as good as a supporting character.

However,

The appearance of the Samsara Game completely broke the pattern of pursuing power; any life, as long as they hunt Pollution Monsters, can possess every ability they can imagine in their mind.

This leads to the Sharingan, which can enhance power but has negative effects, falling into the bottom tier.

The functional Byakugan gains the upper hand.

"That's right, Uncle Madara."

While Nawaki was speaking, his eyes suddenly turned scarlet, and three black Tomoe slowly rotated.

A pair of Sharingan directly caused the seemingly honest Nawaki to become cold. "I also exchanged for the Sharingan as my main combat ability."

"Didn't you say... the Sharingan's effect isn't strong?"

Looking at Nawaki's Sharingan, Madara Uchiha was first stunned, then had a dreamlike sense of unreality.

The grandson of Senju Hashirama actually possessed a Sharingan that even most Uchiha clansmen find difficult to awaken.

But he retorted anyway.

Nawaki looked at the averted face of Madara Uchiha and suddenly felt that this uncle, at his age, was actually a bit of a tsundere?

He smiled and explained: "That's right, the Sharingan alone isn't very effective, but the Samsara Game is all-encompassing; some players, through unremitting efforts, have tried out many hidden abilities."

"Hidden abilities?"

Madara Uchiha's heart sank; he had a bad premonition.

Nawaki didn't speak; his eyelids trembled slightly, and the three black Tomoe quickly intertwined, condensing into the appearance of a Mangekyo.

"Mangekyo?"

Madara Uchiha held his breath; the bad premonition became even stronger.

Nawaki nodded and said: "That's right, and then... I inherited Grandfather's Wood Release Kekkei Genkai."

The Yin-Yang Release chakra aura intertwined, causing ripples to gradually emerge in Nawaki's eyes.

Rinnegan! "It can't be called a hidden ability; it can only be called a shortcut."

Looking at the shocked Madara Uchiha, Nawaki smiled and explained: "The Rinnegan is a 【Tier 2】 Bloodline-type ocular jutsu. Even if it appears in the random Mall that refreshes every seven days, a single eyeball requires 300,000 Reward Points."

"Moreover, the skills for the Rinnegan must be purchased separately."

Especially the 【Deva Path】 skills, which are simply ridiculously expensive.

It is impossible to purchase a complete set of Rinnegan, including skills, without nearly a million Reward Points.

Nawaki smiled mysteriously and said: "The so-called hidden ability is actually more accurately called a hidden path."

"For example, as long as one redeems the Sharingan and Wood Release skills, then cultivates them to the limit state through one's own efforts, one can possess the Rinnegan after breaking through."

"Moreover, it comes with several skills, making it half the price of buying the Rinnegan directly!"

The first player to discover this loophole was the die-hard Pirate from the Pirate World, Buggy, a 【Munitions Expert】 whose auxiliary skill includes 【Hellfire】.

It can imbue fired bullets with the 【Hellfire】 effect.

But the selling price is extremely expensive.

Thus, the impoverished Buggy tinkered on his own, purchasing Hell Sunflower roots and various materials related to hell and flames.

In the end, he operated and manufactured a bullet imbued with the 【Hellfire】 effect himself.

It was actually acknowledged by the Samsara Game, which judged that he had learned the 【Hellfire】 skill.

After the news spread, some players acted as if they had discovered a treasure, beginning to frantically research and explore synthesis routes for skills, items, and equipment.

Rinnegan = Sharingan + Wood Release.

This is the secret researched by Cloud Hidden players.

Of course, the prerequisite is that one's 【Soul Talent】 is strong enough to be compatible with both abilities, allowing one to cultivate the Sharingan and Wood Release skills to the 【Tier 1 Limit】.

Otherwise, even knowing the hidden route would be in vain.

Calling it a loophole isn't quite accurate;

This was originally an Easter egg left by Fang Yi, a hidden setting meant to encourage players not to rely on Mall redemptions and point-based upgrades, but rather to grow through their own talent and abilities.

Players with strong talent can grow rapidly even without starting capital.

Players with poor talent but abundant assets can simply redeem and purchase.

Players with both poor talent and no abundant assets... can only fight for their lives.

All life has the qualification to become stronger.

This is the Samsara Game! (End of chapter)
