"Then there are the items."
Uchiha Setsuna looked beneath his bed. There were quite a few things stored there, all obtained by choosing the second option during Life Simulation.
A longsword, kunai, scrolls, and records.
"Not much can fit here, and keeping too much here isn't good either."
"Things like longswords and kunai can just be thrown away."
They were not special Ninja Tools, just ordinary ones with little value.
Uchiha Setsuna took them out.
There were still traces of blood on the longsword and kunai.
Uchiha Setsuna glanced at them and frowned slightly.
"These bloodstains seem somewhat abnormal."
"They look as if they've been sitting there for a very, very long time."
Uchiha Setsuna took the Ninja Tools into the woods, came to the edge of a lake, and sank them deep into its bottom.
He returned home.
"Fire Style is what I'm best at right now. There is basically no need to add anything to it."
"Among the Yamanaka Secret Technique scrolls, there is still one I haven't obtained: the Mind Connection Technique."
"It can transmit my voice directly into someone else's mind."
"It could be extremely useful in certain situations."
"In the next Life Simulation, I'll make it one of the reward options."
"If I fail to obtain the Byakugan, at least I'll have a fallback."
Uchiha Setsuna looked beneath his bed.
"Keeping these things here isn't actually very safe. It's only because I've disguised myself well in the real world that no one pays attention to an ordinary child like me."
"The ability of Tobi Uchiha's awakened Mangekyō Sharingan is enviable."
The night quickly passed.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Uchiha Setsuna got up.
"Begin the simulation."
[At 6 years and 1 month old, you were learning the Mind Connection Technique.] ... [At 6 years and 3 months old, you learned the Mind Connection Technique.] [At 6 years and 4 months old, you attempted to search for Explosive Tags that might be hidden within Konoha's buildings.] ... [At 6 years and 8 months old, you found no Explosive Tags hidden within Konoha's buildings. Seeing that the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall was approaching, you fled Konoha.] [At 6 years and 9 months old, you entered Kirigakure.] [At 6 years and 10 months old, you found Ao. You used the Mind Body Switch Technique on Ao, controlling him and bringing him before you.] [You released the Mind Body Switch Technique.] [You used the Mind Disturbance Technique on Ao.] [You removed Ao's Byakugan.] [Having achieved your goal, you prepared to kill yourself. However, before doing so, you thought of something. With a ruthless resolve, you used your other hand to remove one of your Three Tomoe Sharingan.] [You killed yourself.] [You died!] [Please choose one of the following two options as your reward.] [1: Mind Connection Technique.] [2: The thing you were holding in your hand before death.]
"I choose 2!"
The next moment, Uchiha Setsuna felt something appear in both his hands. It was sticky, and the sensation of holding it was extremely nauseating.
Uchiha Setsuna hurriedly looked down.
One Byakugan and one Sharingan.
"Success!"
"I got the Byakugan."
But Uchiha Setsuna's expression soon darkened.
Because Uchiha Setsuna noticed something.
The condition of both eyes in his hands was highly abnormal.
A rotten stench rushed into his nose.
Uchiha Setsuna recalled the bloodstains on the longsword and kunai when he had cleared out beneath his bed earlier that day. They had looked as though they had been there for a very, very long time, nothing like merely a month.
"No wonder..."
Uchiha Setsuna looked at the two eyes in his hands.
Neither eye retained any vitality and could no longer be used.
"I need a technique for preserving eyeballs."
"Only a suitable container and enough Nutrient Solution can preserve an eyeball's vitality."
"Then, when I choose it as a reward and it appears in my hands, it won't lose its vitality."
"In the next Life Simulation, either I steal a container and Nutrient Solution in Konoha before going to Kirigakure, or I obtain them in Kirigakure. The former would be the better choice."
"Among the Medical Ninjutsu of the various ninja villages, Konoha's is undoubtedly the best."
Of course, Orochimaru's techniques might be even better than Konoha's, but if Uchiha Setsuna wanted to take Orochimaru's route, it would take more than one Life Simulation.
It might require many.
Uchiha Setsuna felt that it was better to continue with his original plan for now.
A day of training ended.
After returning home, Uchiha Setsuna finished dinner, rested for a while, bathed, and returned to his room.
When the next day arrived.
"Begin the simulation!"
"Begin the simulation."
[At 6 years and 1 month old, you were investigating the Medical Department.] ... [At 6 years and 3 months old, you obtained containers and Nutrient Solution.] [At 6 years and 4 months old, you entered Kirigakure.] [At 6 years and 5 months old, you found Ao. You used the Mind Body Switch Technique on Ao, controlling him and bringing him before you.] [You released the Mind Body Switch Technique.] [You used the Mind Disturbance Technique on Ao.] [You removed Ao's Byakugan.] [You placed the Byakugan into a container and soaked it in Nutrient Solution.] [You removed one of your own Three Tomoe Sharingan, placed it into another container, and soaked it in Nutrient Solution.] [You killed yourself.] [You died!] [Please choose one of the following two options as your reward.] [1: None.] [2: The thing you were holding in your hand before death.]
"I choose 2!"
In this Life Simulation, Uchiha Setsuna had not given himself a fallback. He was certain that he would choose the second option, so there was no need for the first to exist.
This was different from before.
In several previous Life Simulations, Uchiha Setsuna had misjudged his own plans, causing them to fail. He had not even had a fallback, which was equivalent to wasting a simulation opportunity.
The next moment, Uchiha Setsuna felt his hands grow heavy and nearly failed to hold on.
Two containers appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's hands.
One in each hand.
And inside the containers were the Byakugan Uchiha Setsuna had long awaited.
Uchiha Setsuna opened them.
There was no strange smell.
The Byakugan still retained its vitality.
"Good!"
