If you can exploit bugs, why take the normal path?

[You captured several Anbu ninja and used Mind Invasion on them, but gained nothing.]

[You waited until Hiruzen Sarutobi left the Hokage Office Building and infiltrated it.]

[You searched and recorded as you went, thinking that even if you didn't find the Scroll of Seals this time, you would find some clues to help with your next life simulation.]

[You searched the first floor.]

[You found nothing related to the Scroll of Seals.]

[You were discovered.]

[A large number of Anbu ninja pursued you.]

[You killed some Anbu ninja.]

[More Anbu ninja appeared.]

[You died.]

[The Anbu ninja brought your corpse before Hiruzen Sarutobi.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi used this to hold the Uchiha clan accountable.]

[Fugaku Uchiha chose to yield.]

[More members of the Uchiha clan were sent to the battlefield to fight against Kumogakure ninja, with no return permitted unless victorious.]

[Uchiha Itachi hated you deeply, believing you had caused the downfall of the Uchiha clan.]

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

[1: Genjutsu: Firefly.]

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

Uchiha Setsuna hesitated for a moment before making his choice.

"I choose 2!"

A piece of paper appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's hand. It was the record he had made during the life simulation after infiltrating the Hokage Office Building, detailing the situation on the first floor.

A mere genjutsu wasn't something Uchiha Setsuna particularly needed.

However, this record of the first floor of the Hokage Office Building could provide him with considerable help.

It was useful in the life simulation, and might also be useful in the real world.

"Another life simulation that wasn't very successful."

Uchiha Setsuna's eyes flickered.

"The general direction of the plan is sound."

"First, sell intelligence to make Kumogakure launch a war against Konoha, causing chaos in Konoha."

"However, the reaction of Konoha's higher-ups was the worst-case scenario I had predicted."

"Konoha's higher-ups didn't choose to temporarily set aside their conflict with the Uchiha clan, but instead used the Uchiha clan as cannon fodder."

"Fugaku Uchiha didn't show any intention of resisting at all."

"Seeing this situation, Uchiha Itachi still stood with Konoha's higher-ups, seemingly believing that the Uchiha should sacrifice themselves in this manner, which was both reasonable and justifiable."

"But never mind, I didn't have high expectations for these two in the first place."

"Logically speaking, Uchiha Yashiro should have resisted upon seeing such a situation, but it wasn't reflected in the life simulation. There must be some issue here."

Uchiha Setsuna had a good impression of Uchiha Yashiro.

He wasn't a cowardly or weak person, nor did he value Konoha more than the Uchiha clan. Instead, he cared deeply for the clan.

His only flaw was his weakness.

Elite Jonin level strength.

"Before infiltrating the Hokage Office Building, I captured Mizuki and used Mind Invasion on him, but gained nothing."

"However, in the original story, it was Mizuki who guided Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals."

"This presents two possibilities."

"The timing of this life simulation was such that Mizuki hadn't obtained the information yet."

"The second possibility is that the entire incident was a conspiracy and a trap specifically targeting Mizuki."

There was a third possibility: Naruto stumbled upon the Scroll of Seals by accident.

However, Uchiha Setsuna dismissed this, deeming it impossible.

If Naruto had found it by accident, then Mizuki wouldn't have been so confident.

Furthermore, Uchiha Setsuna had thoroughly investigated the first floor of the Hokage Office Building during this life simulation and found absolutely no clues to the Scroll of Seals.

There was no possibility of it being found by accident.

The Hokage Office Building was large.

It was divided into three floors.

The first floor was the largest, the second smaller, and the third the smallest.

However, the rooftop of the third floor alone had a diameter of tens of meters.

"It would be great if I had the Byakugan, it would make things much easier."

"But unfortunately, I don't have the technology to transplant the Byakugan yet."

"To use the Byakugan, I first need to learn this technique, go to the medical department, or find a medical ninja."

Uchiha Setsuna wasn't worried about obtaining the Byakugan.

Even if Uchiha Setsuna didn't make a move on Hyuga Hinata, he could still target Ao from Kirigakure. That Byakugan on Ao was also taken from a member of the Hyuga clan.

It was just that Uchiha Setsuna had another concern.

If he used the Byakugan, he would have to give up one Sharingan.

"Wait, I can actually do this."

Uchiha Setsuna thought of a way to use it.

That was to seize a Byakugan and not use it in the real world, only in the Life Simulator.

Afterward, when choosing the reward, he wouldn't choose the Byakugan but other options. His real-world self wouldn't be affected and would still have two intact Sharingan.

This wouldn't affect the potential Mangekyo Sharingan later on.

"This operation should be fine."

Uchiha Setsuna nodded.

"With the Byakugan, obtaining information will be much easier."

Suddenly.

Uchiha Setsuna thought of something.

"The Life Simulator doesn't affect things in the real world, except for the rewards."

"Then, if I hold the Byakugan in my hand before dying in the Life Simulator, can I choose the Byakugan as a reward? It still wouldn't affect my Sharingan in the real world."

"If I operate like this once in the Life Simulator, the Byakugan I possess will become two."

"In the second Life Simulator, I can hold two Byakugan in my hand. When the simulation ends, I choose what I was holding before death, and the number of Byakugan will become four."

"In the third Life Simulator, I will get eight."

"The fourth... sixteen."

Uchiha Setsuna felt his heart beating very fast.

"Is this exploiting a bug in the Life Simulator?"

"Having more Tomoe Sharingan doesn't offer much improvement for me, except for using Izanagi. But to use it multiple times, I would still need to obtain Uchiha Shin's arm."

"And Orochimaru's arm transplantation technology."

"But the Byakugan is different."

"I remember that the Otsutsuki clan on the moon synthesized a Tenseigan using Byakugan."

"That Byakugan is slightly different from the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."

"The Otsutsuki clan on the moon contains Otsutsuki Chakra."

"The Hyuga clan no longer does."

"But I can try."

"It's just one Life Simulator."

"If I can exploit a bug, why would I conduct a proper Life Simulator?"

"Even if the Byakugan doesn't work, I can still exploit this bug using Explosive Tags."

"Oh right, I remember if Konoha had some architect who buried a lot of Explosive Tags in the village's buildings?"
