A Disappointing Fugaku Uchiha!

[At 6 years old, after entering the Ninja Academy, your talent was extraordinary, attracting everyone's attention.]

[Opening your eyes at six years old drew everyone's gaze to you.]

[You gained the attention of Fugaku Uchiha, Hyuga Hiashi, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Shimura Danzo.]

[At 6 years and 1 month old, Uchiha Sasuke challenged you and was easily defeated. Uchiha Sasuke was extremely unwilling and vowed to defeat you before graduating from the Ninja Academy.]

[At 6 years and 2 months old, Yamanaka Ino confessed her feelings to you, but receiving no response, she was very disappointed.]

[At 6 years and 3 months old, Fugaku Uchiha personally invited you to his home. He praised your talent and, after inquiring about you, gave you the scroll for the Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation.]

[At 6 years and 4 months old, you learned the Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation.]

[At 6 years and 5 months old, Hyuga Hinata developed a strong curiosity towards you.]

[At 6 years and 6 months old, you found Fugaku Uchiha and told him about the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.]

[However, you did not gain Fugaku Uchiha's trust.]

[Your words angered Fugaku Uchiha, and he directly imprisoned you in the Uchiha clan's dungeon.]

[At 6 years and 7 months old, you were in the dungeon.]

[At 6 years and 8 months old, you were in the dungeon.]

[At 6 years and 9 months old, you were in the dungeon.]

[At 6 years and 10 months old, you were in the dungeon.]

[At 6 years and 11 months old, you were in the dungeon.]

[At 7 years old, the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall erupted. Uchiha Itachi walked into the dungeon, and you died!]

[This simulation has ended.]

[Please choose your desired reward from the two options below.]

[1: Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation.]

[2: The item you clutched in your hand before death.]

Uchiha Setsuna: "..."

This life simulation left Uchiha Setsuna extremely disappointed. It wasn't just the disappointment of his plan failing, but an extreme disappointment in Fugaku Uchiha himself.

"Fugaku Uchiha is completely unreliable."

"Fine if he doesn't believe me."

"He even locked me up in the dungeon."

"Knowing about the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall so early, yet still adopting a non-resistant stance when the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall truly arrived."

"What qualifications does such a person have to be the clan head of the Uchiha?"

Uchiha Setsuna's disgust for Fugaku Uchiha reached its peak.

"Is it fitting that he could give birth to a son like Uchiha Itachi?"

Whether Fugaku Uchiha lived or died, Uchiha Setsuna no longer cared.

This life simulation had completely disillusioned Uchiha Setsuna with Fugaku Uchiha.

In the life simulation, Uchiha Setsuna hadn't even mentioned to Fugaku Uchiha that Uchiha Itachi had already betrayed the Uchiha and sided with Hiruzen Sarutobi. He had worried that Fugaku Uchiha would trust his son more.

But he never expected that even without him saying anything, Fugaku Uchiha completely distrusted him.

He even went so far as to lock Uchiha Setsuna in the dungeon.

"It has now been proven that the method of relying on Fugaku Uchiha to buy me time in the life simulation is completely unworkable. Tomorrow, I'll try using Hiruzen Sarutobi."

"Regardless of whether Hiruzen Sarutobi is a good person or not, as long as he can help me gain more time in the life simulation, what's wrong with defecting to him?"

"As long as I don't do it in the real world."

Uchiha Setsuna got up.

"I choose 1!"

A stream of information poured into Uchiha Setsuna's mind.

Mastery of the Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Technique.

Uchiha Setsuna organized his current situation.

Chakra at the Genin level.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Jutsu, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation.

Hell Viewing Technique, Fox Heart Technique, Genjutsu: Sharingan.

And the Three Basic Jutsu.

"Unknowingly, I've already undergone 10 life simulations. In terms of ninjutsu, I no longer lack any basic ninjutsu. My overall strength level is still Genin."

"However, among Genin, I should be considered top-tier."

"Some Chunin might not be my match."

There were no classes at the Ninja Academy today; it was a rest day.

After finishing breakfast, Uchiha Setsuna headed to a small grove for his regular training.

"Brother Setsuna."

Uchiha Sagiri arrived with a bento box.

"Sagiri."

Uchiha Setsuna stopped training, ruffled Uchiha Sagiri's hair, and took the bento box.

Today's bento was made by Uchiha Kayan.

Uchiha Kayan had originally planned to bring it himself and see Uchiha Setsuna's training.

However, he ran into Uchiha Sagiri at the entrance.

Uchiha Sagiri proactively took over the task.

Besides Uchiha Setsuna's bento, Uchiha Sagiri also brought her own.

Uchiha Riko had an outing today and had prepared lunch for Uchiha Sagiri that morning.

The two sat together on a rock.

"Brother Setsuna, can you tell me about the Ninja Academy?"

Uchiha Sagiri had asked this question before, but Uchiha Setsuna hadn't answered.

However, this time, seeing Uchiha Sagiri's expectant expression, Uchiha Setsuna simply said a few words.

"At the Ninja Academy, you'll mainly have many classmates your age, possibly from various ninja clans."

"And civilian ninja too."

"By interacting with them, you can discover many things you've never encountered before."

"But in school, the most important thing is still learning."

"Learning is divided into several courses: academics, physical training, and chakra control, all in preparation for becoming a ninja."

Uchiha Sagiri's eyes lit up again, a hint of longing appearing.

"That must be very interesting."

Uchiha Setsuna paused.

"Sagiri, when you enter the Ninja Academy in the future, you must study hard."

"Mhm, I'll be just like you, Brother Setsuna."

After eating and resting for a while, Uchiha Setsuna resumed his training.

Uchiha Sagiri stayed by his side, showing no intention of leaving.

It wasn't until the sky darkened that the two left the grove and headed home separately.

This was how Uchiha Setsuna spent his rest day.

However, Uchiha Setsuna's classmates had a much more leisurely day.

Sakura and Yamanaka Ino went shopping all day.

Akimichi Choji ate several good meals, and after filling himself up, he lay back in his chair with satisfaction.

Nara Shikamaru leaned back in his chair, motionless, his eyes unfocused, lost in thought, exuding an incredibly strong aura of laziness.

Uchiha Sasuke went to the training grounds in the morning and the dango shop in the afternoon.

Even Naruto wasn't training all day.

The night passed in an instant.

Daybreak arrived.

Uchiha Setsuna opened his eyes.

"The main direction this time is to ally with Hiruzen Sarutobi, buying time for the me in the life simulation."

"Begin simulation!"
