Uchiha Setsuna's Third Simulation!

And at the same time, Uchiha Setsuna's hatred for Uchiha Itachi, and for those who participated in the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, grew stronger.

"Uchiha Itachi, how could you bring yourself to do it?"

"You're nothing but a beast!"

Uchiha Setsuna withdrew his gaze.

"But this was Uchiha Sagiri's original fate."

"Now, I have the Life Simulator."

"Everything has a chance to change."

Seeing Uchiha Setsuna suddenly fall silent, Uchiha Sagiri couldn't help but ask, "Brother Setsuna, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Uchiha Setsuna forced a smile.

"Sagiri, I need to continue training. Do you want to go back first?"

"No, I'll just watch Brother Setsuna train here."

"Then be careful and don't get too close to me."

"Okay."

Time passed little by little.

Uchiha Sagiri watched very attentively.

"Brother Setsuna is working so hard. He'll definitely become a very powerful ninja in the future."

"Sagiri, you can't fall behind either."

"You have to try your best."

Gradually, the sky began to darken.

Uchiha Setsuna stopped training.

"Sagiri, let's go back."

"Okay."

Uchiha Sagiri jumped down from the rock and trotted to Uchiha Setsuna's side, placing her hand into his palm. Even though it was sweaty, she didn't mind at all.

It wasn't until they reached the entrances of their respective homes that Uchiha Setsuna let go of Uchiha Sagiri's hand.

"Brother Setsuna, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Uchiha Setsuna pushed open the gate to his yard.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

"What do you want for dinner?"

"You decide, Grandpa. I'm going to take a bath first."

"Alright."

Uchiha Setsuna submerged his entire body in the water. All his fatigue seemed to melt away in an instant. Uchiha Setsuna closed his eyes.

Dinner time.

"Setsuna, you're going to the Ninja Academy the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I plan to invite Grandma from next door and Sagiri's family over to our place. What do you think?"

"They've taken good care of us these past few years."

Uchiha Kayan said.

Indeed, Uchiha Kayan and Uchiha Setsuna had received a lot of help over the years.

One old, one young.

Uchiha Kayan was a ninja in his earlier years, but he was severely injured on the battlefield, leaving him with a disability that made it difficult for him to move.

And Uchiha Setsuna was still young.

The old grandmother next door had her children still around.

As for Sagiri's father, he had died early, but he left a substantial inheritance for the family.

The circumstances of both families were much better than Uchiha Setsuna's.

Therefore, they had provided considerable assistance.

"Grandpa, I think it's a good idea. They really have taken good care of us."

"Good, then it's settled."

Uchiha Kayan said, "I'll go buy the ingredients tomorrow morning. We'll have a simple meal at noon, and then we'll invite them over in the evening."

"Grandpa, I'll buy the ingredients."

Uchiha Kayan's disability was in his legs, making it difficult for him to move.

"But what about your training?"

"It's fine, I'm only doing physical training right now. Going to buy ingredients can also be considered a form of physical training. Grandpa, please let me go."

"Alright, I'll count on you then."

After finishing dinner and tidying up, Uchiha Setsuna returned to his room.

A full day of training had left Uchiha Setsuna's body and mind extremely fatigued.

He soon fell asleep.

Daybreak arrived.

Uchiha Setsuna woke up very early.

"Start simulation!"

"The main theme this time is diligent training!"

"Also, I'll try to escape amidst the chaos again. My strength has improved a bit now, maybe I can do it."

The second life simulation made Uchiha Setsuna realize one thing: escaping beforehand was completely unrealistic.

What Uchiha Setsuna could do was to train even harder within the life simulation.

This way, he could gain more benefits.

[Age 6, you entered the Ninja Academy to study. Due to your Uchiha heritage, you were assigned to a good class. Hyuga Hinata is on your left, and Yamanaka Ino is on your right.]

[Age 6 months and 1 month, you learned the Three Basic Jutsu.]

[Age 6 months and 2 months, you obtained a ninjutsu scroll from home and learned Fire Style Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu.]

[Age 6 months and 3 months, Naruto challenged you and was easily defeated.]

[Age 6 months and 4 months, Yamanaka Ino confessed her feelings to you, but you didn't respond, leaving her very disappointed.]

[Age 6 months and 5 months, Uchiha Sasuke actively sought you out, saying you were the only genius in the class besides him. He acknowledged you and intended to train together to build Uchiha glory.]

[However, you dismissed Uchiha Sasuke with disdain, having no time to bother with this clueless brat.]

[Age 6 months and 6 months, you obtained a ninjutsu scroll from home and learned Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique.]

[Age 6 months and 7 months, you trained diligently.]

[Age 6 months and 8 months, Uchiha Sasuke challenged you and was easily defeated.]

[Age 6 months and 9 months, Hyuga Hinata developed a strong curiosity towards you.]

[Age 6 months and 10 months, you made some preparations to escape Konoha.]

[Age 6 months and 11 months, you trained diligently.]

[Age 7, the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall. You attempted to escape amidst the chaos, but were caught by Uchiha Itachi. You died!]

[Simulation ended.]

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

[1: Fire Style Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu.]

[2: The item you were holding in your hand before you died.]

Uchiha Setsuna's eyes flickered.

"Still no good. Escaping beforehand doesn't work, and escaping amidst the chaos doesn't work either, even though my strength has improved."

"In this life simulation, my strength had steadily reached the Genin level."

"I could even be considered among the elite Genin."

"But Uchiha Itachi is too strong."

"Yet, this incredibly strong Uchiha Itachi didn't side with the Uchiha clan at all."

"Instead, he personally carried out the clan's downfall."

Uchiha Setsuna faced the two options and made his choice.

"I choose 1."

Just like before, Uchiha Setsuna couldn't be sure what was in the second option and could only guess that he, who died at Uchiha Itachi's hands, probably wasn't holding anything.

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

Uchiha Setsuna immediately mastered Fire Style Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, and he reached a proficient level.

After changing his clothes, Uchiha Setsuna walked out of his room.

"Grandpa, good morning."

"Good morning."

"Grandpa, I'm going to buy ingredients now. What should I buy?"

"Here's the list. I've also written down the prices. They might try to overcharge you since you're a child."

"Okay, Grandpa. I'll be careful."

Uchiha Setsuna walked out of the courtyard.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving."

Soon, Uchiha Setsuna arrived at the market.

The market of Konoha.
