The afternoon gathering meant he returned home much earlier.
Some students arranged to meet up.
Uchiha Setsuna went to the small woods near his home to train.
He did not return home until evening.
The next day.
Morning.
Dawn had just broken.
"Start the simulation!"
"This time, I'll try the Kirigakure route."
"If that doesn't work, I can consider taking the Hyuga route."
"After all, the Hyuga Clan and Kirigakure's Takarai Clan have been close friends for generations."
[At age 6, you were utterly unremarkable and attracted no one's attention.] [At age 6 years and 1 month, you investigated information related to Kirigakure.] [At age 6 years and 2 months, you investigated information related to Kirigakure.] [At age 6 years and 3 months, you investigated information related to Kirigakure.] [At age 6 years and 4 months, you found a route to Kirigakure, but after careful consideration, you chose to give up. This route would take too much time.] [At age 6 years and 5 months, you investigated information related to Kirigakure.] [At age 6 years and 6 months, you found another route to Kirigakure, but after careful consideration, you still chose to give up. This route took too much time.] [At age 6 years and 7 months, you took the initiative to approach Hyuga Hinata.] [Your friendship quickly grew closer.] [The Yamanaka Ino beside you felt somewhat downcast.] [At age 6 years and 8 months, you asked Hyuga Hinata about the Takarai Clan, but Hyuga Hinata did not know much.] [Hyuga Hinata brought you information from her home.] [You obtained considerable intelligence on the Takarai Clan, as well as a route to Kirigakure.] [At age 6 years and 9 months, you escaped from Konoha.] [Root Ninja discovered your actions and pursued you.] [The information you left behind in Konoha regarding the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall erupted within the Uchiha Clan, causing tremendous unrest.] [Konoha High Command suppressed the Uchiha Clan.] [This bought you more time.] [At age 6 years and 10 months, you killed more than a dozen Root Ninja and continued fleeing.] [At age 6 years and 11 months, you arrived in the Land of Hot Water.] [At age 6 years and 12 months, you arrived in the Land of Water.] [At age 7, the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall occurred. The entire Uchiha Clan, aside from Second Pillar, was slaughtered by Uchiha Itachi. Upon hearing this news, you felt deeply dejected.] [At age 7 years and 1 month, Root Ninja caught up to you, but Kirigakure ninja appeared.] [You escaped the Root Ninja's pursuit.] [You arrived in Kirigakure.] [However, you did not receive training from Kirigakure.] [You were confined to a courtyard.] [You trained.] [You heard that the Hyuga Clan had been targeted. You knew it was most likely because of you, and you felt deeply guilty.] [At age 7 years and 2 months, you trained.] [At age 7 years and 3 months, you trained.] [At age 7 years and 4 months, a Kirigakure ninja came before you and questioned you.] [You revealed that Yagura was under a genjutsu, hoping to earn Kirigakure's acceptance and trust through this.] [The other party flew into a rage and reported this matter to Yagura.] [Yagura personally came before you.] [You died.] [Please choose the reward you want from the two options below.] [1: Nothing.] [2: The item you were holding when you died.]
"I choose 2!"
The next moment, nothing appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's hand.
This proved that when Uchiha Setsuna died in this Life Simulation, he had not been holding anything.
"I didn't get any reward, but at least this proves that I can successfully escape to the Land of Water."
"My strength hasn't changed."
"What changed was the route."
"The route to the Land of Water is easier than the route to the Land of Lightning."
"And after the Root Ninja entered the Land of Water, they were quickly attacked by Kirigakure ninja."
"Also, in the Land of Hot Water, the Root Ninja pursuing me were obstructed as well."
"Still, directly exposing Yagura's genjutsu was a little impulsive."
"Without evidence, Kirigakure's people won't believe me at all."
"In the next Life Simulation, I won't need to expose it to them."
"What I need is time."
"Even if they confine me, it doesn't matter."
Uchiha Setsuna decided that in his next Life Simulation, he would still go to Kirigakure and raise his Chakra level to that of an Elite Jonin during his time there.
Jonin were too ordinary. Only Elite Jonin could be considered fairly decent.
"However, to match an Elite Jonin-level Chakra level, I currently know too few ninjutsu."
"I need more ninjutsu."
"With the Life Simulator, that isn't a problem."
Uchiha Setsuna had thought it through clearly. Since he could obtain the Yamanaka Clan Secret Technique from the Yamanaka Clan, acquiring other ninjutsu would not be difficult either.
The Scroll of Seals in the Hokage Office Building.
The ninjutsu scrolls within the Uchiha compound.
The Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist.
The Nara Clan's Shadow Binding Technique.
The Akimichi Clan's Expansion Jutsu.
Even the ninjutsu of Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure.
Uchiha Setsuna believed that as long as he tried enough times in the Life Simulator, he could obtain them all.
However, the number of Life Simulations was limited.
Uchiha Setsuna's most urgent task was to resolve the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.
Therefore, Uchiha Setsuna had to work toward that goal first.
"Come to think of it, there's something I've always found strange."
"In the real world, Hyuga Hinata and I are just ordinary desk mates. We don't interact much."
"According to the original plot, Hyuga Hinata should be focused on Naruto."
"Why does she pay so much attention to me in the Life Simulator?"
"It's as if the person Hyuga Hinata secretly likes isn't Naruto, but me."
"Strange."
Uchiha Setsuna frowned, unable to understand this at all.
"Is there something I haven't noticed?"
"Did I, as a transmigrator, cause some kind of butterfly effect?"
Uchiha Setsuna carefully searched his memories, but could not think of anything.
"Forget it for now. I have no right to think about relationship problems yet. What I should be doing is obtaining rewards from the Life Simulator."
"Being able to successfully escape to Kirigakure proves that this choice may be the most suitable one for me right now."
"I need to make the most of Kirigakure and obtain more rewards."
"Elite Jonin-level Chakra, here I come!"
After breakfast, Uchiha Setsuna went to the small woods to train.
Today was a day off.
At noon, Uchiha Sagiri brought over a lunchbox.
"Brother Setsuna."
"Sagiri."
Uchiha Setsuna stopped training.
