All Discriminated Against by Konoha!

"I choose 1!"

The next moment,

Uchiha Setsuna felt a surge of energy appear within his body, rushing upward.

It did not stop until it reached his eyes.

The intense stimulation made Uchiha Setsuna suck in a breath of cold air.

But instead of being alarmed, Uchiha Setsuna was delighted.

He got out of bed and turned to look at the mirror on the table.

Half of Uchiha Setsuna's face appeared in the mirror.

The One Tomoe in his eyes slowly spun.

"Sharingan!"

To the Uchiha Clan, the Sharingan was extremely important.

It was the Kekkei Genkai unique to the Uchiha Clan.

An Uchiha with the Sharingan and an Uchiha without the Sharingan were two entirely different concepts.

Dynamic vision far surpassing that of ordinary people, powerful genjutsu usable only with the Sharingan, and stronger observational abilities that led to greater learning efficiency.

Uchiha Setsuna thought of someone.

Kakashi.

The reason Kakashi was called the Copy Ninja was because he used the Sharingan's exceptional dynamic vision to copy an enemy's ninjutsu, then followed up with the same ninjutsu at a faster hand-sign speed.

Not only could this neutralize the opponent's ninjutsu,

but this style of fighting would also make the opponent feel utterly disgusted.

"With the Sharingan, my strength has grown even greater."

"Next time in the Life Simulator, I'll be able to gain even more."

Uchiha Setsuna already had a rough plan for how to use the Life Simulator.

His long-term goal was to stop the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, or rather, to protect everyone close to him from that disaster.

To achieve that goal, Uchiha Setsuna needed sufficient strength.

And strength consisted of two parts.

One was Chakra.

The other was ninjutsu.

Uchiha Setsuna decided that in the early Life Simulations, he would focus on obtaining ninjutsu.

Once he had accumulated enough ninjutsu, he would still need to try escaping Konoha.

Uchiha Setsuna had to do this.

Ninjutsu alone could not raise Uchiha Setsuna's strength to a level where he could contend with Uchiha Itachi.

One year was far too little time.

At most, Uchiha Setsuna could raise his Genin-level Chakra to Chunin level, allowing him to obtain Chunin-level Chakra rewards among the Life Simulator's options.

But that was all.

Raising Chunin-level Chakra to Jonin level within a year was basically impossible.

If he did not escape Konoha, Uchiha Setsuna would never be able to obtain Jonin-level Chakra from the Life Simulator.

Then he would have no chance of stopping the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.

"What I currently have is Genin-level Chakra, Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Style Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu, and the Uchiha Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan."

"My overall strength is at the Genin level."

Uchiha Setsuna walked out of his room.

"Setsuna, breakfast is ready. After you eat, I'll take you to the Ninja Academy."

"Grandpa, there's no need."

Uchiha Setsuna said, "I can go by myself, Grandpa. You should stay home. I'm grown up now, and I can handle these things on my own. Besides, your legs aren't very convenient."

"Well... Setsuna, do you know the way?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Other Uchiha besides me will also be going to the Ninja Academy. I can just follow them. There won't be any problems."

Uchiha Setsuna convinced Uchiha Kayan.

The Uchiha compound was on the edge of Konoha, and the Ninja Academy was not close. For Uchiha Kayan, whose legs were impaired, it was a difficult journey.

Moreover, Uchiha Kayan thought of something.

He was a disabled old man.

He did not want Uchiha Setsuna's classmates to know that Uchiha Setsuna had a grandfather like him, afraid it would embarrass Uchiha Setsuna.

Otherwise, Uchiha Kayan would certainly have insisted on taking him.

No matter how difficult the journey was for Uchiha Kayan, he would have persisted.

After breakfast,

"Grandpa, I'm heading out."

"All right, be careful."

As he stepped out through the courtyard gate, a little head poked out from across the way. It was Uchiha Sagiri.

"Brother Setsuna, good luck!"

Uchiha Sagiri raised her tiny fist.

"Thank you."

Uchiha Setsuna smiled and waved at Uchiha Sagiri before walking toward the exit of the Uchiha compound. The closer he got to the exit, the more pedestrians there were.

The Uchiha Clan had quite a large population, so even the number of Uchiha entering the Ninja Academy this year exceeded a dozen. Uchiha Setsuna was one of them.

Among them, the one receiving the most attention was Second Pillar.

The second son of the Uchiha Clan Head, Fugaku Uchiha.

The younger brother of the Uchiha Clan's genius, Uchiha Itachi.

Second Pillar had been born surrounded by countless glories.

Countless eyes fell upon Second Pillar, watching him with anticipation and believing that his future would surely be limitless.

But Uchiha Setsuna could not bring himself to like Second Pillar.

It was not that Second Pillar himself had done anything wrong.

It was because Second Pillar was Uchiha Itachi's younger brother.

That fact alone made it impossible for Uchiha Setsuna to like Second Pillar.

And in Uchiha Setsuna's eyes, Fugaku Uchiha was not a qualified Clan Head either.

When Uchiha Itachi slaughtered the clan, Fugaku Uchiha, who also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, had actually chosen not to resist, simply allowing Uchiha Itachi to wipe out the Uchiha.

"If the Uchiha Clan had resisted, at least Second Pillar would not have been the only Uchiha left."

"Even the Uzumaki Clan, which was also wiped out, still had quite a few bloodlines surviving outside."

"Tsunade, Naruto, Nagato, Karin... all of them carried the blood of the Uzumaki Clan."

Second Pillar kept looking around.

But when he failed to see the figure he had been hoping for, disappointment appeared on his face.

Uchiha Setsuna knew what Second Pillar was hoping for.

But Uchiha Setsuna knew even better that if nothing unexpected happened, the person Second Pillar looked forward to most now would become the person he hated most a year later.

Uchiha Setsuna arrived at the entrance of the Ninja Academy with the others.

Most of the new students had been brought by their parents.

But Uchiha Setsuna was not the only one who had come alone.

Someone spotted Uchiha Setsuna, and his eyes lit up.

Because like Uchiha Setsuna, he was also alone.

Uchiha Setsuna noticed Naruto's gaze and gave Naruto a slight nod.

When Uchiha Setsuna had gone to the Konoha market to buy ingredients before, the strange looks directed at him had reminded him of Naruto, making him feel a trace of sympathy for Naruto.

Naruto's circumstances were somewhat similar to those of the Uchiha.

Both came from clans or families that had made tremendous contributions to Konoha.

Yet both were now being discriminated against by Konoha.
