Simulation, History of Warring States Sealing!

"Call me My Lady."

"Yes, My Lady."

Within a few short seconds, a palm-shaped mark appeared on Hyuga Natsu's fair right cheek.

She and Hyuga Ginka were actually biological sisters, but because her sister had been born over a decade earlier, her sister was of the noble Main House.

As for her, she was forced to bear the curse of the Caged Bird, a seal that would only be lifted upon her death.

"Are you trying to maliciously incite a conflict between our two clans? Get Hyuga Tetsu over here immediately!"

Hyuga Ginka's mature frame was concealed within wide, classical robes, and the motion of her swinging hand perfectly outlined the alluring curves of her figure.

"Yes, My Lady."

Hyuga Natsu dared not utter a single word of protest and immediately ran off to find Hyuga Tetsu.

Soon, Hyuga Tetsu was brought before Hyuga Ginka.

Hyuga Ginka scolded Hyuga Tetsu severely and punished him using the Caged Bird seal.

Hyuga Tetsu writhed on the ground in agony, his entire body drenched in sweat.

The Uchiha and the Hyuga were both major clans within the Hidden Leaf Village.

Furthermore, the Uchiha's strength surpassed that of the Hyuga clan; although the Hyuga were loath to admit this fact, the Uchiha's top-tier combat power was far superior to their own.

The Hyuga clan's greatest advantage was that every member possessed the Byakugan bloodline limit, with the only difference being the purity of their eyes.

This provided the Hyuga clan with a vast amount of low-end combat power, unlike the Uchiha, who had to awaken their bloodline limit through specific life experiences.

"The Uchiha are an evil clan. The only reason our Hyuga clan has made it this far is by playing it safe."

Hyuga Ginka made no effort to hide the disdain and malice in her eyes.

These Branch House members were simply fools; they couldn't even grasp such a simple truth.

If they looked down on the Uchiha or had grievances against them, they should have kept those thoughts to themselves.

To let others overhear them—did they really think the Uchiha clan were pushovers?

The Uchiha were the least capable of handling provocation and were a clan prone to extreme actions.

Hyuga Ginka was genuinely afraid that these idiots would affect the Hyuga clan and, by extension, her own status.

"We won't do it again, My Lady."

Hyuga Natsu's forehead was nearly pressed against the wooden floor, her eyes filled with terror.

In the eyes of many Main House members, the Branch House had no human rights.

Only the Main House were the true inheritors of the Hyuga clan, bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting and advancing the clan's legacy.

The Branch House bore the responsibility of protecting the Hyuga Main House.

Branch House members were branded with the Caged Bird curse at the age of three, remaining under the control of the Main House. They were not even permitted to harbor a single thought of rebellion, their lives held in the palm of the Main House's hand.

Perhaps when the division was first established, the Branch and Main Houses could look out for one another.

But long-term unequal treatment, as time passed, had only made the disparity in their status increasingly extreme.

"Hyuga Tetsu, get out."

"Yes, My Lady."

Hyuga Tetsu gritted his teeth as he stood up, offered a respectful farewell, and departed.

He dared not harbor resentment toward Hyuga Ginka, only toward Uchiha Shimizu.

If Uchiha Shimizu had simply pretended not to hear, none of this would have happened, and he wouldn't have been punished by Lady Hyuga Ginka, ruining his image in Natsu's eyes!

"Natsu, in a few days, you will go to Uchiha Shimizu's home to apologize. Remember to bring a gift."

"As you command, My Lady."

Hyuga Natsu lowered her head, her eyes filled with a sickly numbness. The polished floor reflected the Caged Bird seal branded upon her forehead.

It was so ugly, and yet so sorrowful.

Uchiha District.

Qingshui's home.

Qingshui placed chunks of meat onto a plate for the White Dove to eat.

He himself watched the translucent light screen panel before him.

[The current attempt count is one. Do you wish to initiate the Perfect Life Simulation?]

"Yes."

Qingshui said.

[Ding, Perfect Life Simulation in progress...]

[Day 1: You head to the Konoha Hospital to continue your study of medical ninjutsu.]

[Day 2: Uchiha Tekka comes to challenge you to a spar, and you defeat him with ease.]

[Day 3, Uchiha Inabi came to spar with you, and you defeated him with ease.]

[Day 4, Uchiha Tekka and Uchiha Inabi decided to follow your lead.]

[Day 270, Nonō conducted an assessment for you; your theoretical knowledge is already quite solid.]

[Day 271, you ran into Shisui's parents taking him out for some sun. You could spot Shisui's large nose from a distance, sighing that this was just how he was born.]

[Day 272, the Ninja Academy organized a competition. You placed eighth in the school—the result of you keeping a low profile—but it still caused quite a stir among the girls.]

[Day 273, your popularity at the Ninja Academy grew. You reckoned it was because you were gradually maturing and becoming more handsome.]

[Day 274, you refined chakra at home, and your chakra reserves increased.]

[Day 275, White Dove has been eating a lot lately and is about to turn into a round, chubby little bird. You set a strict weight-loss plan for White Dove.]

[Day 276, you monitored White Dove's weight-loss plan. White Dove looked at you with resentment in its tiny head. Waking up at night, you discovered that White Dove was actually sleeping in your bed. Fortunately, you don't have the habit of tossing and turning, or White Dove would have been flattened. Looking at the pile of scattered feathers in the quilt, you felt helpless.]

[Day 820, you were at home reciting Fundamentals of Medicine.]

[Day 821, your Kunai skills improved.]

[Day 822, you graduated from the Ninja Academy. This time, you showed off your strength. The Third Hokage felt that you might be a good match for Kakashi's team, thinking you could set that boy straight. You were assigned to Team Minato. Looking at Nohara Rin and Kakashi, you asked if you could switch teams.]

[Day 838, you went on your first mission and encountered a female ninja from an enemy country. You accidentally got separated from Team Minato and felt that your life was at an end. Who would have thought that the female ninja, with her flamboyant and ample charms, would give you an indescribable smile? You instantly felt that things were not that simple.]

[Day 839, today was a busy day.]

[Day 840, today was a busy day.]

[Day 841, today was a busy day.]

[Day 842, you told the female ninja that you wanted to try training without using your eyes for a change. You said you were going to get a band to use as a blindfold. The female ninja believed you, and you seized the opportunity to escape.]

[Day 952, you discovered that you didn't know how you had arrived at the border of the Land of Fire. You searched everywhere for the way back.]

[Day 953, the female ninja found you. She was furious at your unannounced departure and, amidst your desperate gaze, dragged you back.]

[Day 1085, today was a busy day.]

[Simulation ended, calculating results...]

[Please select one reward: Black Band, History of Warring States Sealing (can simulate past lives), Fundamentals of Medical Science *1]

"History of Warring States Sealing?"

Shimizu was stunned.
