Simulation, Senju Clan

"I... I will tell Lord Raikage,"

the envoy stammered, his lips trembling.

He and his subordinates prepared to leave.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spoke, "I said, I want you to go back on your own."

The envoy stopped, stiffly turning his head to look at the furious, terrifying old man.

The knife-like wrinkles on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face shifted slightly as he signaled to those around him.

The Anbu members immediately sprang into action.

Crack, crack, crack~

In less than ten seconds.

Only the leader of the Kumogakure envoy group remained.

The heads of all the other envoys had been severed.

Then, a cold, white-haired Anbu member approached the envoy.

"Envoy, please leave Konoha. You are not welcome here."

The envoy glanced at the still-dripping short sword in the Anbu's hand. He didn't dare to say another word and turned to leave in a hurry, fleeing Konoha that very night.

After the Anbu cleaned up the bodies.

Hiashi finally spoke, "Was that attitude a bit too harsh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression softened, and he explained, "Konoha's previous attitude was peaceful, which led the Raikage to believe we were afraid to start a war."

In reality, they were afraid!

"However, if our attitude is extremely strong, the Raikage will have to consider whether we have obtained some trump card."

Hiashi nodded slowly, thinking, Is that so...

As expected of the Hokage.

Initially, Hiashi was very displeased with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But now he understood that everything Hiruzen Sarutobi had done was for Konoha and for the peace of the Ninja World.

Otherwise.

If even he, the head of the Hyuga Clan, had such a temper when provoked by Kumogakure.

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi, a Shinobi Hero, not be angry?

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't not angry; he simply couldn't show his anger!

As expected of someone who could become Hokage.

Afterward.

Hiruzen Sarutobi left with the Anbu.

Seeing that the matter was over, Naruto yawned and planned to go back for dinner.

However, Hiashi suddenly said to Naruto, "Little Naruto, if you don't mind, shall we have a chat?"

"Huh?" Naruto was a little surprised. Although he didn't know what it was about, he still nodded.

Later.

Hiashi had some food prepared and treated Naruto to a private meal.

He first thanked Naruto for saving Hinata.

Then they talked about some of Naruto's personal matters.

Like whether he had enough money and so on.

Naruto didn't stand on ceremony, his eating never stopping.

Before long, Naruto was full.

Hiashi picked up a wine glass and took a sip before finally revealing his ultimate purpose.

He asked Naruto, "Little Naruto, what do you think of my daughter?"

"Hinata?" Naruto thought of Hinata's cute little face. "She's quite nice."

Actually, by this point, Naruto had already guessed Hiashi's intentions.

But he didn't point it out.

It was better to let Hiashi bring it up himself.

Hiashi didn't beat around the bush and directly said to Naruto, "Since that's the case, why don't I make the decision and arrange an engagement between you and my daughter?"

Hiss...

Naruto put down his chopsticks and looked at Hiashi in surprise.

After all, in the original story, it was only after Naruto became a hero of the Ninja World that the Hyuga Clan changed its clan rules.

Naruto had previously thought Hiashi would temporarily agree to his relationship with Hinata.

And then, once they were older, they could discuss the clan rules.

But he hadn't expected this.

Hiashi actually wanted him and Hinata to get engaged immediately?

"Does little Naruto not want to?" Hiashi feigned anger.

To be honest, Hiashi was quite terrifying.

Even when feigning anger, he still gave off a stern impression.

Naruto, of course, seized the opportunity: "Of course, I want to."

Hiashi immediately decided: "That's good. Today is a special day for you and Hinata."

"Then, eight years from today, you two shall hold your wedding."

It was settled just like that?

Hinata was already his fiancée?

Naruto's mind couldn't quite keep up when he heard Hiashi say that.

In Naruto's opinion, the Hyuga Clan was a group of old fuddy-duddies.

He figured it would take a lot of effort to get Hiashi's approval.

But he hadn't expected it to be so easy.

By the time Naruto returned home, it was already past midnight.

And he now carried a betrothal with him.

Seeing Naruto grinning like an idiot, Kurama couldn't help but remind him: "Don't forget about my business."

"I won't, I won't," Naruto assured Kurama. "Don't worry, I'll find a way as quickly as possible. You'll be free then."

Seeing Naruto's assurance, Kurama didn't press further.

Naruto, however, felt a bit uneasy.

Before, when Kurama was sealed, he couldn't see outside, at most he could only sense the outside atmosphere.

Now, Kurama could see what was happening outside.

If he and Hinata wanted to play some "little games" or something.

Knowing there was a fox watching inside him, Naruto was still a bit bothered.

After completing the mission, Naruto received one Simulation Opportunity.

By now, Naruto was starting to cherish his Simulation Opportunities.

He wanted to be as cautious as possible and ensure the character's strength.

But Naruto was already a bit tired today.

Plus, he didn't have school tomorrow, so Naruto decided to just wash up and sleep.

The next morning, Naruto reheated the food he had left on the table from yesterday.

After filling his stomach, he began the simulation.

This simulation was about finding a way to survive being forcibly extracted from a Tailed Beast without dying.

"System, start simulation!"

[Ding~ Host has consumed a Simulation Opportunity. Creating character.]

[Character surname drawn: Yamagami, Yamanaka, Gekko... Senju]

"Huh? There's the Senju surname?"

"This is like hitting the jackpot!"

"I might even get the Senju bloodline."

"Select Senju."

Afterward, Naruto successively selected the remaining attributes.

The final product was:

[Surname: Senju

Talent: Kushina Uzumaki

Health: Neji

Intelligence: Tenten]

Personality: Rock Lee

Relationships: Shino

Appearance: Kakashi Hatake

Hobby: Orochimaru - Immortality Experiment

Specialty: Tobirama Senju]

[System Evaluation: You were born into the prestigious 'Senju' clan.

Your ninja talent is quite good.

You do not have any congenital diseases.

Your intelligence is relatively normal.

Your personality has granted you astonishing perseverance.

You are a nobody; if you don't make a sound, no one will notice you.

You are a handsome, sunny young man.

You wish to attain immortality.

You are rather skilled at researching black technology.]

Looking at this character evaluation, Naruto was incredibly satisfied.

This was the seventh simulation.

Just as Naruto had guessed.

His character's strength was increasing with each simulation.

Simply put.

It was Orochimaru's dream, Tobirama Senju's abilities, and Rock Lee's perseverance.

He wondered if he could successfully find a way to achieve immortality.

Naruto felt a flicker of anticipation.

Even if he couldn't achieve immortality, he would definitely be able to significantly enhance his physical condition.

Obtaining a Tailed Beast or something similar would be a piece of cake~

Afterward, Naruto chose the Second Shinobi World War as the simulation period.

This was because Orochimaru rose to prominence during that time.

He might even be able to join forces with the Orochimaru in the simulation.

The location, of course, was Konohagakure.
