[At age 6, you were utterly unremarkable, and no one noticed you.] [On the surface, you were an ordinary Uchiha.] [In secret, you studied the Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song.] [At age 6 years and 1 month, you studied the Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song.] [At age 6 years and 2 months, you studied the Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song.] [At age 6 years and 3 months, you mastered the Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song.] [At age 6 years and 4 months, you confessed to Hyuga Hinata, and Hyuga Hinata accepted.] [Beside you, Yamanaka Ino felt deeply disappointed.] [At age 6 years and 5 months, you slightly displayed the bearing of a genius.] [Uzumaki Naruto challenged you and was utterly crushed.] [Kiba Inuzuka challenged you and was utterly crushed.] [Second Pillar challenged you and was utterly crushed.] [You caught Fugaku Uchiha's attention.] [At age 6 years and 6 months, the Hyuga Clan warned you, hoping you would stay away from Hyuga Hinata.] [At age 6 years and 7 months, you arrived near the Hokage Office Building.] [You used the Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song on the Hokage Office Building.] [You used the Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction Technique on Hokage Rock.] [You used the Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Technique on Konoha Plaza.] [You fled.] [Your Fire Style caused enormous damage to Konoha.] [Many floors of the Hokage Office Building were set ablaze, destroying vast amounts of precious materials.] [Several nearby buildings collapsed outright.] [Hokage Rock was damaged, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was completely destroyed.] [Konoha Plaza descended into chaos.] [Hiruzen Sarutobi flew into a rage and ordered every Anbu Ninja to investigate, focusing primarily on Uchiha members.] [Some Root Ninja discovered your trail.] [You were caught up to.] [You saw Uchiha Itachi.] [Standing high above, you shouted, "Uchiha Itachi made me do it!"] [Uchiha Itachi's face turned green.] [Hiruzen Sarutobi became suspicious of Uchiha Itachi.] [Uchiha Itachi attacked you, demanding to know why you had framed him.] [You hit Uchiha Itachi with the Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song!] [You chose to end your own life.] [Uchiha Itachi's expression turned even uglier.] [You died.] [1: Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song.] [2: The item you held in your hand before your death.]
"I choose 1!"
A stream of information entered Uchiha Setsuna's mind, and he immediately mastered the Fire Style: Dragon Flame Song.
"Uchiha Itachi must have been in a terrible mood during this Life Simulation too."
"I destroyed the Konoha he loved most and publicly claimed that he was the one who did it."
"More importantly, he might lose Hiruzen Sarutobi's trust because of this."
"Uchiha Itachi would certainly care about that most."
"Because it meant there would be little hope of him continuing his plan."
"Hiruzen Sarutobi was suspicious by nature, and Uchiha Itachi knew that."
"At the same time, this counted as a little revenge against Hiruzen Sarutobi as well."
"I destroyed the Hokage Office Building and Hokage Rock."
"I blasted Hiruzen Sarutobi's statue to pieces."
Uchiha Setsuna left his room, washed up briefly, and began eating breakfast.
Uchiha Kayan had already prepared it.
"Still, my revenge in this Life Simulation was a little too crude. It wasn't satisfying enough."
"It wasn't as satisfying as last time."
"Next time, I can give it more thought."
A thought suddenly occurred to Uchiha Setsuna.
"What about making a move against the Shimura Clan?"
The Uchiha Clan's extermination had been a conspiracy by the Konoha High Command. More directly, it had been carried out by Uchiha Itachi and Danzo.
The densely packed Three Tomoe Sharingan on Danzo's arm were enough to explain everything.
Not every member of the Uchiha Clan could awaken the Sharingan.
Even fewer could reach the Three Tomoe stage.
Yet Danzo's arm had so many of them.
Once an Uchiha was completely dead, their Sharingan could no longer be used.
The Sharingan had to be removed before they died completely.
"The Uchiha Clan is gone."
"So if the Shimura Clan disappears too, that would only be reasonable, wouldn't it?"
Uchiha Setsuna looked toward the Shimura Clan's compound.
The Shimura Clan had once been considered a major clan, but it had declined. It had few members now and was merely a small ninja clan.
It could not compare to the Sarutobi Clan, much less the Uchiha Clan.
But because of Danzo, the Shimura Clan still held status.
It controlled a large number of highly profitable businesses.
Many of those businesses had once belonged to the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan.
The Senju Clan had abandoned its surname, and Hashirama Senju had done so for the sake of the common people.
The Uchiha Clan had been heavily suppressed under the pretense of doing it for the village.
Yet the greatest beneficiaries of the Senju Clan's disappearance and the Uchiha Clan's decline were not the common people.
Konoha's civilians had gained nothing.
Instead, the ninja clans had stuffed themselves full.
The Sarutobi Clan and the Shimura Clan were prime examples.
"Let Danzo experience what it feels like to have his clan exterminated."
"Of course, with only jonin-level strength, I can't exterminate the Shimura Clan."
"But I can at least inflict severe casualties on them."
"I really want to see Danzo's expression then."
"Unfortunately, Life Simulation only provides written descriptions."
Uchiha Setsuna found that somewhat regrettable.
Still, it had its benefits for Uchiha Setsuna.
At the very least, the unpleasant experiences of the Life Simulation would not enter Uchiha Setsuna's mind. They would only be presented in written form.
A day's classes ended.
He returned home, trained, ate dinner, and rested.
The next day.
"Begin the simulation!"
