A ninja arrived at the entrance of the Ninja Academy and looked at the many young ninjas and parents waiting to enroll.
"Hello, everyone. I am the ninja teacher assigned to you this time. My name is Umino Iruka."
"Parents, please stop here."
"When your name is called, come stand before me."
"Second Pillar, Yamanaka Ino, Hyuga Hinata, Kiba Inuzuka..."
Iruka called out the names one after another.
"Uchiha Setsuna."
Uchiha Setsuna stepped forward, came before Iruka, and stood together with the other new students.
Iruka continued until he had finished reading the entire list.
"All right, these are all the new students this time."
Iruka said, "Parents, please return home. I will now take the new students to their classroom."
"Students, follow behind me."
Among the crowd, Uchiha Setsuna appeared completely ordinary and drew no attention whatsoever.
In the Life Simulator, Uchiha Setsuna might take other actions in order to obtain certain things.
But in the real world, Uchiha Setsuna adhered to one principle—stability!
Without enough strength to change fate, Uchiha Setsuna would not reveal the slightest abnormality.
There were not many new students like Uchiha Setsuna.
Most of the new students were curious about their future lives at the Ninja Academy and their future classmates.
Naruto was somewhat nervous, but he did not want anyone to know it, so he hid it behind loud and boisterous behavior. Like a hedgehog, he was afraid others would see his true self.
Second Pillar looked down on everyone and did not regard anyone highly.
That included Uchiha Setsuna, another Uchiha.
Right now, there was only one person in Second Pillar's eyes: Uchiha Itachi.
Second Pillar wanted to become an Uchiha genius like Uchiha Itachi.
Yamanaka Ino stood together with Haruno Sakura.
The two were still friends and had not yet fallen out.
Among everyone present, the most conspicuous person was not Second Pillar, but Akimichi Choji.
There was no other reason—Akimichi Choji's build was far larger than that of the others his age.
He alone was worth several people.
They entered the classroom.
"Students."
Iruka walked up to the podium and said, "Please take your seats according to the seating chart."
"In a moment, I will properly introduce your future studies and life at the Ninja Academy. Take your seats first and quiet down. Those who behave well will be rewarded."
As soon as Iruka said this, the students promptly cooperated and sat down.
Uchiha Setsuna found his seat.
Hyuga Hinata was on his left, and Yamanaka Ino was on his right.
It was the same as in the Life Simulator.
That proved that once I accumulated enough ninjutsu, genjutsu, and strength, I could make plans and test them in the Life Simulator, trying out different plans.
Whichever plan succeeded, I could copy it directly in the real world.
This was the second use of the Life Simulator.
Hyuga Hinata took the initiative to greet Uchiha Setsuna.
"Hello, I'm Hyuga Hinata. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me."
"Uchiha Setsuna."
Uchiha Setsuna merely stated his name and had no intention of talking further with Hyuga Hinata.
Hyuga Hinata opened her mouth.
Hyuga Hinata was curious about Uchiha Setsuna.
The Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan were both major ninja clans of Konoha.
Moreover, both of their Kekkei Genkai were eye techniques.
One was the Byakugan, and the other was the Sharingan.
They were often compared to each other.
Uchiha Setsuna's cold attitude made Hyuga Hinata afraid to continue speaking with him.
On the other side, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura began talking quietly.
"Ino, that Second Pillar is so handsome. Whenever I see him, my heart starts racing. Do you think I've fallen for him?"
Sakura asked.
"Is he that handsome?"
Yamanaka Ino looked at Second Pillar, then glanced at Uchiha Setsuna beside her.
Yamanaka Ino did not feel anything for Second Pillar.
Instead, when she looked at Uchiha Setsuna, a subtle feeling arose within her.
Uchiha Setsuna noticed Yamanaka Ino's gaze but said nothing.
According to the Life Simulator, Yamanaka Ino did not fall for Second Pillar. She fell for me, and after some time, she would even confess to me herself.
But the Yamanaka Clan would not stand on the Uchiha Clan's side.
Even if they did stand together, they absolutely would not be able to stop the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall.
They would not even be able to protect me alone.
Iruka gave a dry cough.
"Students, quiet down. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Umino Iruka. I am a Chunin and currently a Teacher at the Ninja Academy. From now on, I will be responsible for you."
"Whether it is something within the academy or outside it, you can tell me."
"I will do my best to help you."
"Now, everyone, introduce yourselves and get to know your classmates."
"Who wants to go first?"
Naruto was the first to raise his hand.
When Iruka saw Naruto, an unnatural expression briefly crossed his face, but he quickly returned to normal.
Everyone in the village, except Naruto himself, knew that Naruto was the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
Iruka's parents had died in the chaos caused by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox back then.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. My dream is to become Hokage."
Naruto's declaration immediately triggered a wave of laughter throughout the class. No one believed Naruto could do it.
Quite a few people looked at Naruto with disdain.
Some even spoke up to mock him.
"I'll definitely make it happen!"
Naruto snorted coldly.
"That's a good dream."
Iruka settled the classroom atmosphere and said, "I hope you work hard. Sit down. Next."
The students stood up one after another.
"My name is Second Pillar. My dream is to revive the Uchiha Clan."
"My name is Haruno Sakura. My dream is to become an amazing ninja."
"My name is Yamanaka Ino. My dream is to open a flower shop."
"My name is Kiba Inuzuka. My dream is the same as Naruto's—to become Hokage!"
"My name is Uchiha Setsuna. My dream is to become a true ninja."
Uchiha Setsuna had lied.
Uchiha Setsuna's true dream was to change the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, so that he, his family, and those close to him could all survive rather than be brutally killed.
As for being a ninja, Uchiha Setsuna did not care whether he was one or not.
Introductions, handing out textbooks, explaining the academy's rules and regulations...
The day passed just like that.
The dismissal bell rang.
"Students, class is over. Do not linger outside afterward. Go straight home, rest well tonight, and come to the academy on time tomorrow morning. Remember, do not be late."
"Tomorrow, you will officially begin learning ninja techniques."
Everyone rushed out of the classroom.
