Naruto: Pay-to-Win Ninja System

Soon after, Shimoku returned indoors.

It was barely past ten in the morning.

Inside the house, Nonou had left a clone behind, busily preparing lunch.

She herself had gone to assist at the orphanage.

With nobody else around, Shimoku swiftly slipped into the prison room where Kurenai Yuhi remained locked away.

The Konoha genjutsu master still lay bound upon the single bed, her body pierced with steel needles that sealed her chakra flow.

Yet she had already awakened.

Her beautiful eyes kept staring intently at Shimoku while she struggled weakly against her bonds.

"Ugh… mmph! Mmmph!!"

With her mouth gagged, Kurenai let out muffled sounds—"Ugh… mmph! Mmmph!!"—as if desperately wanting to speak—perhaps to explain or beg.

However, Shimoku showed no interest.

If she were a Hyuga from the Branch House who already harbored resentment toward the Main House or Konoha, he wouldn't mind listening.

But for loyal Konoha ninjas like Kurenai, he had absolutely no patience to hear even a single unnecessary word.

The prettier the woman, the more deceptive they tended to be!

He couldn't afford to get enchanted by whatever she might say.

Better to just handle things quickly and efficiently.

Immediately afterward,

Shimoku opened his Mangekyō Sharingan eyes and locked gazes with Kurenai.

A surge of powerful ocular energy rushed out, turning into genjutsu-laced chakra that flooded her mind, starting to rewrite her thoughts.

After all, what Shimoku needed was an obedient 'tool' who wouldn't betray secrets to Homura Hidden Village.

Not a stubborn Konoha ninja clinging to independence, constantly plotting escape and ways to relay information back to Konoha.

Some people could be turned; others resisted all persuasion. Shimoku clearly understood this distinction.

Quickly enough,

with the enhancement from the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Shimoku effortlessly rewrote Kurenai's consciousness.

Eradicating all her feelings toward Konoha.

Of course, such forced alterations weren't entirely stable.

Like Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage, before him—the effects would gradually weaken over time, and the victim would slowly regain their original memories.

That's why the technique had to be reapplied regularly to keep control in check.

Still, for Shimoku,

this wasn't an issue.

After applying the jutsu a few more times and fully conquering her body and soul, he would simply reinforce the effect permanently using a Recruitment Order (a command-binding artifact).

This would solidify her sense of loyalty and belonging—to him and to the Homura Hidden Village.

...

Shimoku flicked his finger slightly, releasing powerful chakra.

In an instant, Shimoku yanked all the needles from Kurenai's body and sliced through the leather straps binding her.

Her body dropped free.

"Master, I kneel before you!"

Kurenai landed gracefully on one knee, bowing respectfully without any sign of discomfort.

"Rise."

"As you command."

"First, use genjutsu to create a small tree for me." Shimoku ordered.

"At once!"

Kurenai immediately formed hand seals and performed the jutsu.

Before long, a vivid little tree appeared right in front of Shimoku.

The illusionary tree looked incredibly lifelike—each leaf fresh, vibrant green, swaying gently in the breeze. The texture of its trunk was clearly visible too, realistic enough to easily fool anyone into believing it was genuine.

Only when someone reached out and touched it—only when their hand passed through the illusory trunk—would they realize it was just an illusion.

Seeing this, Shimoku's heart leaped with joy.

This was precisely the effect he'd been aiming for!

After all,

Genjutsu techniques like the Sharingan belonged to the dojutsu category—they were targeted illusions, trapping victims within a dream world where they saw false images.

Though powerful, that wasn't what Shimoku needed.

In contrast, non-dojutsu genjutsu could be used to create illusions within the real world by manipulating chakra, allowing everyone to perceive illusory images.

In short, Kurenai Yuhi wasn't just another genjutsu user—

She was the real deal—an authentic "special effects master"!

Exactly!

Shimoku's cultural strategy was straightforward: produce exciting, high-quality films to promote the culture of Homura Hidden Village,

Achieving "cultural invasion and cultural domination" over the other great nations.

Think about it—

Even Jiraiya's erotic novels had become wildly popular across the Ninja World.

So imagine what modern filmmaking could accomplish

In this era starved of entertainment—it would definitely go viral!

And now, with Kurenai Yuhi's mastery of non-dojutsu genjutsu,

Producing grand-scale movies wouldn't require any post-production special effects at all. Filming on-site would effortlessly achieve visuals as stunning as those costing millions or even tens of millions!

That was the true value of non-dojutsu genjutsu.

Once all the blockbuster ideas already prepared in Shimoku's mind were unleashed,

They would become cinematic weapons of mass appeal, overwhelming every other nation!

For example: [That Uchiha Isn't That Cold], [Redemption of an Uchiha], [Beauty and the Uchiha], [Uchiha: Fast & Furious], [Uchiha: The Dark Knight], [Alien Visitor: The Great Battle Between Otsutsuki and Uchiha], and many more.

Once this "Hollywood of Homura Hidden Village" series hits hard,

We'll definitely reshape the entire Ninja World's perception of the Uchiha Clan!

With proper cultural infiltration and effective propaganda,

You can turn black into white and whitewash even the darkest truths!
