Simulation Talent: The Flawless Ninja

Hatake Sakumo and Izuna Uchiha.

Naruto couldn't definitively say whose talent was stronger.

After all, both were somewhat niche characters.

Naruto could only guess based on the evaluations and battle records of the two in the original work.

Hatake Sakumo.

His strength surpassed the Sannin, Konoha's White Fang.

The only battle record he could recall was killing Sasori's parents.

Hatake Sakumo's era was the Second Shinobi World War.

At that time, the Sannin fought Hanzō, the "half-god," to a draw and were sealed by him.

The Sannin's peak strength was definitely after they turned fifty.

Naruto didn't know how strong the Sannin were back then.

But since Hatake Sakumo surpassed the Sannin, his strength certainly wouldn't be low.

Next was Izuna Uchiha.

Compared to Hatake Sakumo, Izuna had even less screen time.

As a fan of Hokage, Naruto certainly remembered the evaluations of Izuna.

After all, Izuna was Madara Uchiha's younger brother.

The more popular Madara became, the more Izuna's popularity also rose...

There were a few evaluations for Izuna:

Genius of the Uchiha Clan, Mangekyo Sharingan, swordsmanship talent.

His strength within the Uchiha Clan was second only to Madara.

He was a ninja with virtually no flaws.

His battle record was a defeat at the hands of Tobirama Senju.

Nothing else.

After much thought, Naruto finally decided to rank Izuna's talent strength above Hatake Sakumo's.

Because during the Warring States Period, the battles between the Uchiha and Senju clans were well-known.

For Izuna to still earn the title of "ninja with no flaws" when facing the Senju clan.

This showed how strong he was.

Izuna's Mangekyo Sharingan was also one of the crucial elements that contributed to Madara Uchiha's achievements.

But now there was another problem.

That was, Izuna Uchiha had the Uchiha bloodline, while the character Naruto did not.

So, logically speaking, Hatake Sakumo, also a commoner, was more suitable for this character.

One was a ninja with no flaws.

The other was a commoner whose reputation or strength surpassed the Sannin of the Second Shinobi World War era, and who was more suitable for the character.

This left Naruto in a dilemma.

After thinking for a long time.

Naruto finally made up his mind.

"System, choose Izuna Uchiha."

It wasn't that Hatake Sakumo wasn't strong.

It was just that the words "no flaws" were too tempting.

There were even rumors online that Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique was specifically prepared for Izuna.

Izuna's benchmark was Tobirama Senju.

But he was clearly weaker than Tobirama Senju, as he was killed by Tobirama.

However, this did not deny that his strength within the Uchiha clan was second only to Madara.

And there was also a title that Naruto quite liked.

"Then let me see what achievements a ninja with no flaws will have without the Uchiha bloodline,"

Naruto muttered to himself.

Of course, other attributes were also very important.

Next was to draw the Health attribute.

Naruto wasn't worried about this.

As long as it's not the six sickly ones.

You know, the original Naruto story actually had six sickly characters...

[Character Health Draw Complete: Yakumo Kurama, Kimimaro, Itachi Uchiha, Hayate Gekko...]

Naruto's eye twitched, and he couldn't help but curse, "System, you f***ing... really good..."

He changed his mind because the next two ninjas were revealed.

[Nagato Uzumaki, Kiba Inuzuka]

In terms of health, Kiba Inuzuka was clearly better.

Although Nagato was stronger than Kiba, that was only a single attribute.

Nagato Uzumaki became so thin in the later stages.

As for Kiba Inuzuka, who specialized in taijutsu secret ninjutsu, his physical health was excellent from his debut to the end of the story.

"Select Kiba Inuzuka."

[Character Intelligence Draw Complete: Hidan, Gama-ryu, Rock Lee, Might Guy, Zaku, Dosu.]

Naruto: "..."

Two with intellectual disabilities: Hidan, Gama-ryu.

Two oddballs: Rock Lee, Might Guy.

Two of Orochimaru's subordinates.

Naruto thought for a while and finally decided, "Select Might Guy."

Might Guy!

He's not an idiot!

He's really not an idiot!

Can't find it by searching the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

[Character Personality Draw Complete: Sasuke - Rebellious Phase, Kisame, Kaguya Otsutsuki, Shisui Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno]

Looking at these people, Naruto fell into thought.

Sasuke?

Too rebellious, wouldn't get along with others.

Kisame?

Too honest, easily taken advantage of.

Kaguya Otsutsuki?

A naive idiot, easily taken advantage of.

And why didn't she appear in Talent or Surname!

Giao!

Got a gold pull, but it doesn't seem like it.

Shisui Uchiha?

Too much of a sacrificial spirit, easily taken advantage of.

Naruto Uzumaki?

Too honest, and also has a sacrificial spirit.

If he wasn't the protagonist, he'd be at a huge disadvantage.

Sakura Haruno?

Great, great!

"System, select Sakura Haruno."

[Character Relationships Draw Complete: Madara Uchiha, Shimura Danzō, Minato Namikaze, Tobirama Senju, Hatake Sakumo, Karin Uzumaki]

Madara... has no friends.

Danzō, few friends.

Tobirama Senju, both righteous and evil.

Hatake Sakumo, cursed by everyone.

Karin Uzumaki, only has two friends.

Minato Namikaze, perfect!

Although he's a bit behind Naruto's social butterfly status in the ninja world.

He's still good as Konoha's social butterfly.

"Select Minato Namikaze."

[Character Appearance Draw Complete: Kisame Hoshigaki, Choji Akimichi, Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka]

Kisame and Choji are excluded.

Kakashi is handsome, he's selected.

Obito?

Do you really think Rin liked Kakashi for his strength?

Wake up, those are just excuses!

Hinata?

Why is my wife in here? If I select her, will the character become female?

Kiba Inuzuka?

Too fierce.

Honestly, appearance isn't particularly important.

Then it's Kakashi.

Next up are hobbies and specialties.

Hobbies will drive the character's behavior, and specialties will make the character twice as effective with half the effort.

[Character Hobby Draw Complete: Gato, Might Guy, Choza Akimichi, Tobirama Senju, Kabuto Yakushi, Shikaku Nara]

Gato equals money, and Naruto doesn't need that right now.

Might Guy is Taijutsu, and Naruto already has a bit of that.

Tobirama Senju is about researching Ninjutsu, but the character is a commoner with not much Chakra, so I'll pass.

Kabuto Yakushi likes to play with surgery and such. If the character modifies their body, it'll be hard for Naruto to choose abilities.

Shikaku Nara, he likes to analyze...

Okay, him.

"Shikaku Nara."

[Character Specialty Draw Complete: Danzo, Tsunade Senju, Hashirama Senju, Shikamaru Nara, Tetsuya Mikami, Kabuto Yakushi.]

Danzo specializes in enduring hardship.

Tsunade specializes in medical Ninjutsu.

Hashirama specializes in winning people over.

Shikamaru's specialty is his brain.

Tetsuya... specializes in assassination...

Kabuto Yakushi, specializes in betrayal.

After thinking about it, Naruto decided to choose Shikamaru.

Because his hobby is Shikaku, and his specialty is Shikamaru.

This way, they can cooperate, which is great.
