Killing Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi's Pain!

"Jingle jingle!"

A bell rang.

"Stop answering, time's up."

"Next, we'll proceed to the second exam."

"Hand in your papers."

"After you've handed them in, follow me to the training grounds."

Some students helped collect the papers.

Iruka first took the exam papers to the office before returning to the classroom.

"Class, to the training grounds."

"The second exam is on ninja tools."

"It's divided into shuriken throwing and kunai throwing."

"Do your best, everyone."

Iruka had everyone line up and go forward one by one.

Five kunai and five shuriken per person.

Throw them at the target.

However many rings you hit is your score, and the results will be announced on the spot.

"First, Uchiha Sasuke."

Uchiha Sasuke stepped forward.

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke had completely calmed down, clearing all distracting thoughts from his mind.

He flicked his wrist.

"Ten rings, ten rings, ten rings... nine rings!"

Iruka showed an expression of admiration.

"Sasuke, well done."

"Your total score is ninety-six rings!"

This was quite a high score for a freshman who had only been enrolled for a month.

Uchiha Sasuke walked to the side, chin held high.

However, this was a fixed target, and the distance was relatively short.

"Second, Haruno Sakura."

One by one, students stepped forward.

"Uchiha Setsuna, seventy-two rings!"

A mediocre score.

"Haruno Sakura, eighty-four rings!"

"Hyuga Hinata, ninety rings!"

The moment the exam ended, the rankings were immediately released. Uchiha Sasuke was undoubtedly first.

"Sasuke is really amazing!"

Sakura looked at Uchiha Sasuke, her eyes shining.

Uchiha Sasuke, on the other hand, looked at Naruto with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Even though Uchiha Itachi had told him to proactively interact with Naruto and resolve their conflict.

However, the current Uchiha Sasuke couldn't do it.

Naruto was a little annoyed.

"So arrogant."

The afternoon session was the physical fitness assessment.

There were three events in total, and it was very tiring.

Many people were almost exhausted after the assessment.

During regular physical training, one could slack off.

But in the exam, everyone except Uchiha Setsuna wanted to achieve a good result.

Even Nara Shikamaru felt a surge of motivation at this moment.

The exams were over, and the results were out.

Uchiha Sasuke was still in first place.

Naruto had the same old problem: his endurance and stamina were unmatched, but his burst power couldn't compare to Uchiha Sasuke's.

"The monthly exam concludes here. That's all."

Iruka gathered the students.

"Next Monday, all the scores will be tallied and ranked by total points."

"Students with higher rankings will receive rewards."

"First, I'd like to congratulate those who achieved good results."

"For those who didn't perform as well, don't worry too much. Keep working hard next time."

"Press on!"

"Class dismissed!"

The students swarmed out.

Most of them had been nervous about the monthly exam, and now that it was over, they just wanted to relax. The next two days were days off, and some people gathered to make plans.

Even Naruto teamed up with Kiba Inuzuka.

Uchiha Setsuna quietly slipped away from the crowd and returned to the Uchiha compound.

Uchiha Sasuke also wanted to relax.

But when he saw Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly changed his mind.

Uchiha Sasuke looked in the direction Uchiha Setsuna had left, then looked towards Naruto.

"What brother said doesn't seem right."

"Uchiha Setsuna and Uzumaki Naruto are both mediocre."

"Uchiha Setsuna is just maliciously speculating about me."

"As for Uzumaki Naruto, he actively provoked me and attacked me."

"Is Uchiha Setsuna's behavior more egregious than Uzumaki Naruto's?"

"Uchiha Setsuna's effort is no less than Uzumaki Naruto's."

"Why is Uchiha Setsuna described as selfish by my brother?"

"Yet, I'm expected to be tolerant and forgiving towards Uzumaki Naruto?"

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't understand.

"Could it be that brother is wrong?"

"But how could brother be wrong?"

"Brother is the greatest genius the Uchiha clan has seen in decades."

"Everyone praises brother."

"I want to catch up to brother, but I'm still far from him."

"Is my judgment correct? Or is brother's judgment correct?"

A look of confusion appeared in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes.

Uchiha Sasuke desperately wanted someone to help him understand, but he couldn't find a suitable person.

"Is this the world after becoming a ninja?"

"So complicated."

The next day.

Uchiha Setsuna opened his eyes, and the first thing he did was start a life simulation.

"For this life simulation, the main goal is to learn the Mind Body Switch Technique."

"And, to get some revenge on Uchiha Itachi."

"Begin simulation!"

[Age 6, you are unremarkable.]
[Age 6 months and 1 month, you are learning the Mind Body Switch Technique.]
...
[Age 6 months and 6 months, you have learned the Mind Body Switch Technique.]
...
[Age 6 months and 8 months, you have mastered the Mind Body Switch Technique.]
[You see Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.]
[You use the Mind Body Switch Technique on Uchiha Sasuke, arriving next to Uchiha Itachi, and launch a surprise attack, stabbing a kunai into Uchiha Itachi's body.]

[Uchiha Itachi subconsciously attacked Uchiha Sasuke.]

[Uchiha Sasuke died.]

[Uchiha Itachi became enraged and descended into madness.]

[You saw Uchiha Itachi's expression and were very satisfied.]

[You chose to commit suicide.]

[You died.]

[Please choose one of the following two options as your reward.]

[1: Mind Body Switch Technique!]

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

"I choose 1!"

A wave of information entered Uchiha Setsuna's mind, and instantly, Uchiha Setsuna had completely mastered the Mind Body Switch Technique.

After breakfast, Uchiha Setsuna couldn't wait to head to the forest.

"Mind Body Switch Technique!"

Uchiha Setsuna found a rabbit.

The next moment, Uchiha Setsuna felt his consciousness enter the rabbit's body, able to control the rabbit to do anything.

This felt very novel to Uchiha Setsuna.

After a short while, Uchiha Setsuna canceled the Mind Body Switch Technique.

"The Mind Body Switch Technique is truly a magical ninjutsu."

"Very good."

In his mind, Uchiha Setsuna had already imagined many, many scenarios of using the Mind Body Switch Technique in Kirigakure.

"If I can successfully leave Kirigakure and go to Kumogakure, I have a good chance of having several years in Kumogakure. With this time, raising my chakra level to Elite Jonin will be a piece of cake."

"I can also learn stronger, more difficult ninjutsu."

"For example, the forbidden jutsu of the major ninja villages!"
