Chapter 193: Main Quest: Learn Ninjutsu and Become a Ninja!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, after questioning several people and ignoring some nonsensical answers, began to understand why this peculiar group had come to Konoha.
The reason? Word had spread that one could learn ninjutsu in Konoha and grow stronger. This had drawn them here.
Of course, Hiruzen couldn't completely trust their words. These newcomers would need to be closely monitored.

Despite the odd encounters, the visitors were ultimately allowed into the village without incident.
The virtual game world, "Limited Tsukuyomi World," had officially opened its doors to players, and the initial experience had earned their praise.
Step one: success.
But this was just the beginning. To convert these curious newcomers into long-term participants, Uchiha Yi would need to provide compelling reasons to keep them engaged.

The Main Quest Appears
Upon entering Konoha, every player received a system message:
Main Quest: Learn Ninjutsu and Become a Ninja!
Learning ninjutsu meant obtaining extraordinary power, something most players had only dreamed of in their real lives.
For many, their lack of natural talent or access to supernatural abilities had relegated them to the lower tiers of their reality.
But here, in this virtual world, they had a chance to rewrite their destinies and become extraordinary.
The prospect of learning ninjutsu and becoming a ninja ignited an undeniable spark within them. It was a powerful lure, fulfilling long-held desires and soothing deep-seated regrets.

Seeing the players' enthusiasm spike after the main quest was revealed, Uchiha Yi smirked with satisfaction. His judgment of human nature had been spot on.
To make the game even more immersive, the quest gave no direct instructions on where or how to learn ninjutsu. Players had to explore, interact, and uncover the path themselves, increasing their engagement and time spent in the game world.

Overlord Sword Demon Sets Out
As the first player to enter Konoha, Overlord Sword Demon wasted no time in pursuing his new objective.
After some inquiries, he learned that ninjutsu could be studied at Konoha's Ninja Academy.
"The superpowers of this world are called ninjutsu?" Overlord Sword Demon murmured, his anticipation growing.
"I can't wait to find out what it feels like to wield such incredible power!"
He hadn't forgotten the sting of his failure to awaken his talents in the real world. Here, in this virtual realm, he saw a chance to grasp what he could never have in reality.
---
Following the directions given by helpful villagers, Overlord Sword Demon soon arrived at the Ninja Academy.
However, just as he was about to step inside, a gatekeeper stopped him.
"Hold it! This is the Konoha Ninja Academy. Who are you, and why are you here?"
"I'm here to learn ninjutsu!" Overlord Sword Demon declared with excitement.
"Sorry, but without the Hokage's permission, outsiders can't enter the academy," the gatekeeper explained firmly.
---
Undeterred, Overlord Sword Demon decided to take the matter to Hiruzen Sarutobi himself.
"Surely the village chief has the authority to let me in," he thought.
Navigating Konoha wasn't difficult, and the Hokage's residence was easy to find.
Upon arrival, he faced the same routine: guards asking his purpose before letting him in.
"Why is this place like a military fortress?" Overlord Sword Demon grumbled, though he admitted it added to the game's realism.
He brushed the thought aside. The only thing that mattered now was learning ninjutsu.
---
When he finally met Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage seemed deep in thought, puffing on his pipe.
Hiruzen listened to Overlord Sword Demon's request but was hesitant to agree.
"Ninjutsu is the foundation of Konoha," Hiruzen said. "We cannot teach it to outsiders."
---
Overlord Sword Demon, however, wasn't about to give up.
"Then what if I joined Konoha?" he asked, his tone determined.
"If I'm no longer an outsider, surely I'd be eligible to learn ninjutsu."
Hiruzen was momentarily taken aback.
The player's logic was solid, and as the Hokage, Hiruzen couldn't backtrack without undermining his own authority.
---
"Fine," Hiruzen finally relented.
"You can temporarily join Konoha, but if you give me any reason to doubt your loyalty, I'll have you expelled—or worse. Understood?"
Overlord Sword Demon grinned. "Thank you, Village Chief! I'll head to the academy right away!"
---
With Hiruzen's approval secured, Overlord Sword Demon returned to the Ninja Academy. This time, the gatekeepers let him in without protest.
Finally, he had taken his first step toward learning ninjutsu.
---
Meanwhile, as more players swarmed Konoha, the excitement in the air was palpable. Each newcomer was eager to carve their own path, shaping their destinies in this immersive world.
Unbeknownst to them, Uchiha Yi watched it all from the shadows, his plan unfolding perfectly.
"Let the game truly begin," he thought with a sly grin.
