Kumogakure Is Truly Despicable!

The morning classes ended.

Only a few ninja could use the Transformation Technique with any success.

Therefore, Uchiha Setsuna pretended to be among those who hadn't learned it.

Afternoon cultural class.

Some people couldn't focus at all and practiced the Clone Technique instead.

"Poof!"

A faint foul odor spread through the classroom.

Naruto's face turned bright red.

He had already tried his best.

Naruto had thought that learning the Clone Technique this time would be like learning the Transformation Technique last time, and he would be able to learn it quickly.

But Naruto realized he was wrong.

No matter how hard he tried, no matter how much effort he put in, it felt like something was blocking him.

"Ring ring ring!"

The dismissal bell rang, and the students rushed out of the classroom as if they had been saved.

Uchiha Setsuna was among them.

After leaving the classroom, Uchiha Setsuna glanced back at Naruto.

Naruto still seemed to be trying.

If Uchiha Setsuna didn't have to worry about anything, he wouldn't mind going up to Naruto and telling him—you'll never learn the Clone Technique, just give up.

The Clone Technique was Naruto's great enemy.

The Shadow Clone Technique was the jutsu most suited for Naruto.

Uchiha Setsuna felt that this was actually a bit strange.

Logically speaking, the Shadow Clone Technique and the Clone Technique should have some overlap in practice.

The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was an upgraded version of the Shadow Clone Technique.

But in terms of learning, these two ninjutsu felt like completely different systems.

The next day.

As soon as Uchiha Setsuna woke up, he couldn't wait to start the simulation.

"Start simulation!"

[Age 6, you performed ordinarily.]

[Age 6, 1 month, you found an opportunity and escaped from Konoha.]

[Age 6, 5 months, you entered the Land of Lightning.]

[You arrived at Kumogakure.]

[Age 6, 6 months, the Raikage summoned you and asked for your reason for wanting to join Kumogakure.]

[You replied that the Konoha higher-ups persecuted the Uchiha clan and that the Uchiha would be annihilated by the Konoha higher-ups.]

[The Raikage did not trust you.]

[You were confined in a secret room.]

[Age 7, the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall occurred while you were training.]

[Age 8, you were training.]

[Age 11, a white snake appeared in the secret room and lunged at you. This was Orochimaru's white snake, attempting to leave a Curse Mark on you. You hit the white snake with a Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, roasting it into charcoal.]

[The commotion from the Great Fireball attracted the attention of the guards.]

[Age 12, you were training.]

[Age 13, you were training.]

[Age 14, a woman was brought into Kumogakure. She was old, fat, dark, and ugly. As soon as she entered, she tried to grope you. You became enraged.]

[Under the stimulus of your rage, you awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan.]

[You used the Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction Technique.]

[You escaped the secret room.]

[Kumogakure Ninja surrounded you.]

[You charged towards the Raikage building.]

[The Fourth Raikage appeared.]

[You are dead.]

[Simulation ended.]

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

[1: Three Tomoe Sharingan.]

[2: What you held in your hand when you were dying.]

Uchiha Setsuna: "..."

"This Kumogakure is utterly inhumane."

Uchiha Setsuna felt furious and somewhat terrified seeing the description in the Life Simulator.

Even though the Life Simulator wouldn't retain memories.

He was only 14 years old in the Life Simulator when Kumogakure started having those kinds of ideas.

And it wasn't enough that they had those ideas, they actually sent someone like that.

Uchiha Setsuna felt that if Kumogakure had sent Yugito Nii, Samui, or Mabui, he could have accepted it, as that wouldn't have been much of a loss.

But Kumogakure was too despicable.

So despicable that Uchiha Setsuna felt a bit disgusted.

Uchiha Setsuna indeed needed time, but with the Life Simulator, he didn't think he needed to suffer such humiliation in Kumogakure.

He could find other ways to become stronger.

"Next time, I won't go to Kumogakure."

"The time limit Kumogakure can provide me is 8 years."

"But if I haven't raised my Elite Jonin level Chakra to Kage level within 8 years, it proves that even with more time, my chances won't be high."

"To obtain Kage level Chakra, pure training isn't enough; other methods are needed."

Uchiha Setsuna thought of three methods.

One was becoming a Jinchuriki.

By reaching a reconciliation with a Tailed Beast, one could use its Chakra, and the amount would be astonishing.

He was from the Uchiha clan and possessed the Sharingan, giving him an advantage in this regard.

One was Hashirama Cells.

Just like Danzo, who was the same age as Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hiruzen was already very old, while Danzo, with Hashirama Cells, was as energetic as a young man.

One was the Chimera Technique.

This was a Ninjutsu researched by someone named Hiruko.

By gathering five Kekkei Genkai within one's body, one could achieve immortality.

"However, all three are very difficult."

"Becoming a Jinchuriki isn't easy; before that, I need to learn some sealing techniques."

"And they can't be any trash sealing techniques."

"Otherwise, I'll end up like Gaara, unable to sleep at night."

"After that, I'll need to choose a target."

"This is also not an easy task; even the Seven-Tails, which is considered the least difficult, is deep within Takigakure. I'm just an Elite Jonin, so it's not easy to infiltrate."

"There's a possibility of failure when fusing Hashirama Cells; if it fails, I'll turn into a sapling."

"Furthermore, this is Orochimaru's technology, and Orochimaru wouldn't easily transplant it."

"As for the Chimera Technique, it's even more so."

"This is Hiruko's prized possession, his ultimate technique, and he absolutely wouldn't hand it over easily."

Uchiha Setsuna didn't abandon these three plans, but he didn't intend to pursue them in the short term.

"For now, I'll focus on acquiring Ninjutsu."

"At the same time, I can sow discord within Konoha and instigate Kumogakure to declare war on Konoha."

"I need to deduce how to prevent the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall from happening and allow the innocent Uchiha to survive."

"One simulation, two uses."

Uchiha Setsuna looked up at the mirror.

"Kumogakure disgusted me immensely, but this Life Simulation wasn't entirely without its rewards."

"At least I obtained a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan."

In the mirror, the Three Tomoe were slowly rotating on Uchiha Setsuna's eyeballs.

"Compared to Two Tomoe, the abilities of Three Tomoe are much stronger."

"However, there's still a considerable distance to the Mangekyo."

"I wonder when I'll be able to awaken the Mangekyo."

Uchiha Setsuna was full of anticipation.
