[Simulation begins!] [You were born in Konoha. Though you came from a prestigious family, due to Tobirama Senju's policies, most of the Senju Clan had married outsiders and blended into ordinary civilian households. Your bloodline, however, was relatively purer, because you had an elder sister named Tsunade Senju.]
"Hmm?"
"My elder sister is Tsunade? Then Hashirama is my great-uncle?"
This bloodline really was pure enough.
[Because of the clan's dwindling population due to those policies, Tsunade valued you greatly.] [When you came of age, you attended the Ninja Academy. You encountered a powerful opponent during a combat exercise, so you developed your own Body Flicker Technique.] [You used your self-developed Body Flicker Technique in a combat exercise to defeat your opponent, displaying your talent.] [Your talent caught Tsunade's attention. She gave you the Chakra necklace left behind by Hashirama Senju, hoping you could inherit Hashirama Senju's Will of Fire.] [The Second Shinobi World War broke out. You wanted to graduate early, but Tsunade believed you were not yet prepared. Your choice was...]
"Go to the battlefield?"
"Although no Super Kage-level Combat Power participated in the Second Shinobi World War."
"It was still pretty dangerous."
"This character has the Senju Bloodline. Better to play it safe and wait until he grows stronger."
"Then I won't graduate early."
[You followed Tsunade's advice and continued lying low at the Ninja Academy.] [You laid low for two years and graduated from the Ninja Academy at the proper age. You were sent to the battlefield to transport supplies.] [Your squad encountered an attack, and you used the Body Flicker Technique to escape.] [Having witnessed the horrors of the battlefield, you began contemplating the value of life and developed a desire for immortality.] [You became acquainted with Jiraiya and Orochimaru, but you disliked Jiraiya because he was lecherous.] [In contrast, you were more willing to converse with Orochimaru.] [Orochimaru decided to take you as his disciple. Your choice was...]
"Emm..."
"I originally expected to be Orochimaru's contemporary, but I never thought this character would be positioned as Nawaki Senju."
"But this works too. Orochimaru does have research ability."
"Better latch onto him first?"
[You successfully became Orochimaru's disciple. Jiraiya was unhappy about this because he also wanted to take you as his disciple. Jiraiya challenged Orochimaru and was defeated.] [During the Shinobi World War, Orochimaru kept you by his side. In your spare time, the two of you often discussed life, death, and war.] [As the Shinobi World War neared its end, Hanzō bestowed the title of Konoha Sannin upon Hiruzen Sarutobi's three disciples.] [Jiraiya remained in the Land of Rain to guide Nagato Uzumaki, Konan, and Yahiko. Tsunade decided to stay in Konoha. Orochimaru began secretly conducting experiments.] [Orochimaru took in a new disciple named Mitaraishi Anko and began secretly carrying out research. After achieving some success, Orochimaru told you about it and hoped to use the Senju Clan's prestige through you to conduct experiments more effectively, including human experimentation. Your choice was...]
"The main purpose of this simulation is to improve my physique and gain the ability to survive having a tailed beast extracted."
"Since that's the case, I'll agree to Orochimaru's request. Then I'll have him research the Senju Bloodline first and see whether technology can improve it."

Although Orochimaru also researched the Senju Bloodline in the original story.
He never increased the bloodline's strength.
But things were different here. This character possessed Tobirama Senju's creativity and Rock Lee's perseverance.
So the result was unknown.
"While we're at it, research immortality too."
[You agreed to use the Senju Clan's convenience to cover up Orochimaru's research.] [You asked Orochimaru to research the Senju Bloodline and requested to join the research. Orochimaru was very interested as well, so he agreed.] [Through your research with Orochimaru, you invented something called the 'Bloodline Purification Agent.' It could enhance the strength of a bloodline, but it had a certain side effect: it reduced the user's lifespan.] [Orochimaru wanted to test the effects of the Bloodline Purification Agent on you. Your choice was...]
"That's exactly what I want!"
[You decided to use the Bloodline Purification Agent. After using it, you discovered that your Chakra reserves began increasing and grew more terrifying by the day.] [Your Chakra reserves continued skyrocketing, even surpassing those of your clanswoman Tsunade, who was far older than you.] [Your self-healing ability improved to a certain extent, and you awakened Wood Release.] [You knew your immense power had been purchased with your lifespan, so you became somewhat panicked. But Orochimaru told you that your lifespan had only been reduced by one-fifth.] [Orochimaru and you continued researching the secrets of immortality, but your progress was too slow.] [You began growing anxious. While collecting research materials one time, you were accidentally discovered by Hiruzen Sarutobi.] [Hiruzen Sarutobi drove Orochimaru and you out of Konoha, rendering all your research efforts futile.] [Tsunade Senju left Konoha.] [Orochimaru and you had no source of income, and your research nearly came to a standstill. You began gathering funds.] [The Third Shinobi World War broke out, and Orochimaru and you used the opportunity to amass enormous wealth.] [Because you did not have the Yin Seal and had used the Bloodline Purification Agent, you actually began showing signs of age before Orochimaru. You realized Orochimaru had deceived you, and you had no idea how much of your lifespan had been consumed.] [You proposed researching how to remove the side effects of the Bloodline Purification Agent first, but Orochimaru refused because he believed it would be a waste of time. You broke with Orochimaru and attempted to force him to conduct the research through violence. Your choice was...]
"Orochimaru, that old bastard, is shrewd as hell. He'll definitely tamper with the results."
"Logically speaking, I've already obtained the Senju Bloodline I wanted, and its strength isn't low."
"But... what if this character forces Orochimaru, and Orochimaru keeps giving him drugs with stronger side effects but even greater effects?"
"Take a gamble. A bicycle might turn into a motorcycle. I'm doing it!"
[You used force to imprison Orochimaru and compelled him to research how to eliminate the side effects of the Bloodline Purification Agent. Orochimaru developed hatred toward you.] [Based on the principles of the Bloodline Purification Agent, Orochimaru developed a super-evolved version and claimed it had no side effects. Not only could it enhance your Senju Bloodline, it could also remove the previous side effects and even extend your lifespan by fifty years.] [Because you knew Orochimaru's personality, you wanted to use Tsunade Senju as a test subject. Your choice was...]
"Holy shit? This character is becoming a beast too?"
"Using his own sister as an experiment? Only you could think of that!"
"Orochimaru is definitely deceiving the character, but I'm not the character. I'd be happy to watch him get fooled!"
That way, it could enhance the Senju Bloodline's strength while preventing the character from doing something so monstrous.
[Your conscience took hold of your heart. You gave up on experimenting on Tsunade. You took the drug Orochimaru provided, and during the first few days, your bloodline improved beyond anything before. Your appearance began to grow younger. These were all good signs.]
