Back home.
"Brother Setsuna, what's the Ninja Academy like? Is it fun?"
Uchiha Sagiri came over at once.
"Just wait two more years, Sagiri, and you'll find out."
"If I tell you too much now, you won't have anything to look forward to."
Uchiha Setsuna rubbed Uchiha Sagiri's head as he spoke.
Uchiha Sagiri played in the courtyard for a while. It was nearly dark before she reluctantly left and returned home.
"See you tomorrow, Brother Setsuna."
"See you tomorrow."
Uchiha Setsuna watched Uchiha Sagiri's retreating figure for a long time before finally looking away.
"Sagiri, don't worry. I won't let any of you die on the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall."
"I'll make sure all of you get to live normal lives."
Uchiha Kayan appeared beside Uchiha Setsuna.
"Setsuna, how did the Ninja Academy feel?"
"It was alright."
Uchiha Setsuna nodded. "Grandpa, you don't need to worry. I definitely won't have any problems at the Ninja Academy."
"That's good."
Uchiha Kayan smiled.
"Setsuna, you really have grown up."
"That's wonderful."
"I can rest easy now."
"If only..."
Uchiha Kayan stopped halfway through, but Uchiha Setsuna could guess that he had once again thought of Uchiha Setsuna's parents in this life.
That was, Uchiha Kayan's son and daughter-in-law.
After dinner, Uchiha Setsuna took a bath, returned to his room, and quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Uchiha Setsuna woke up.
"Begin simulation!"
[At age 6, after entering the Ninja Academy, you learned quickly and displayed the bearing of a genius, drawing the attention of Iruka and the other students in your class.] [At age 6 years and 1 month, you learned the Three Basic Jutsu.] [At age 6 years and 2 months, Naruto challenged you and was utterly crushed.] [At age 6 years and 3 months, Kiba Inuzuka challenged you and was utterly crushed.] [At age 6 years and 4 months, Yamanaka Ino confessed to you. When she received no response, she was deeply disappointed.] [At age 6 years and 5 months, you trained diligently.] [At age 6 years and 6 months, you trained diligently.] [At age 6 years and 7 months, Hyuga Hinata developed a strong curiosity about you.] [At age 6 years and 8 months, Second Pillar challenged you and was utterly crushed.] [At age 6 years and 9 months, you gained the attention of the Uchiha Clan.] [At age 6 years and 10 months, you met Fugaku Uchiha. After demonstrating the Great Fireball Jutsu, you obtained the Great Fire Dragon scroll and learned the Great Fire Dragon Jutsu.] [At age 6 years and 11 months, you trained diligently.] [At age 7, on the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall, you hid in the shadows. When Uchiha Itachi emerged, you used the Great Fire Dragon Jutsu and blasted him once. You died!] [This simulation has ended.] [Please choose the reward you want from the two options below.] [1: Great Fire Dragon Jutsu.] [2: The item you were holding when you died.]
Uchiha Setsuna opened his eyes.
"I choose 1!"
A flood of information poured into Uchiha Setsuna's mind.
In an instant, Uchiha Setsuna completely mastered the Fire Style: Great Fire Dragon Jutsu.
"Two C-rank Fire Style jutsu and one B-rank Fire Style jutsu."
"When it comes to Fire Style, I already have more than enough."
"Getting more Fire Style jutsu wouldn't mean much."
"The next thing I need is genjutsu."
Uchiha Setsuna looked in the direction of the Ninja Academy.
"Genjutsu is extremely useful in certain situations."
"Especially Uchiha genjutsu."
"Genjutsu used through the Sharingan is on a completely different level from other genjutsu."
"Yūhi Kurenai became a jonin through genjutsu."
"But before Uchiha Itachi, she was simply no match."
"And for Uchiha Itachi, genjutsu was only one aspect of his abilities."
Footsteps sounded outside.
"Setsuna, are you awake? It's time to go to the Ninja Academy."
"Alright, Grandpa. I'll be right there."
After breakfast, Uchiha Setsuna broke into a quick jog, treating the journey to the Ninja Academy as training as well.
There were six or seven Uchiha of the same age.
But only Uchiha Setsuna and Second Pillar were in the same class.
"Is that Uchiha Setsuna?"
When Second Pillar saw Uchiha Setsuna, he had just been about to greet him.
But Uchiha Setsuna ran straight past him.
Second Pillar opened his mouth, then forcibly swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
He entered the classroom.
"Morning, Setsuna."
Yamanaka Ino took the initiative to greet him.
Uchiha Setsuna nodded.
"Morning."
Yamanaka Ino smiled.
The moment Sakura saw Second Pillar appear, she could not take her eyes off him.
Yamanaka Ino looked at Sakura and shook her head.
"Sakura's taste really isn't that great. Compared to Sasuke, Setsuna is obviously much more charming."
"Setsuna has a faintly special aura about him."
"It's hard to describe, but it makes people feel very comfortable."
Yamanaka Ino's face flushed slightly, growing warm.
Hyuga Hinata softly greeted Uchiha Setsuna.
"Good morning, Setsuna."
Hyuga Hinata's voice was so quiet it was barely louder than a mosquito's buzz. Only Uchiha Setsuna, who sat beside her, could hear it.
"Morning."
Uchiha Setsuna sat upright.
Hyuga Hinata noticed the sweat on Uchiha Setsuna's body and was slightly stunned.
"Did he start training before class even began this morning?"
"He works so hard."
After Second Pillar entered the classroom, he glanced in Uchiha Setsuna's direction.
Uchiha Setsuna acted as though he had not seen him.
Second Pillar had a proud and prickly personality. Seeing Uchiha Setsuna's attitude, he immediately lost any desire to speak with him.
Originally, Second Pillar had intended to become friends with Uchiha Setsuna.
After all, they were both Uchiha.
But Uchiha Setsuna had no intention of getting involved with Second Pillar.
That would attract Uchiha Itachi's attention.
The starting point of the Life Simulator was the time Uchiha Setsuna currently occupied in the real world.
If Uchiha Setsuna's Life Simulator had originally been on easy difficulty.
Once he caught Uchiha Itachi's attention, it would become hard difficulty.
Iruka entered the classroom.
The morning consisted of academic lessons.
Most of the students had no interest in them. Naruto was especially bad, lying on his desk and sleeping soundly. Akimichi Choji was busy eating snacks, Nara Shikamaru kept zoning out, and Yamanaka Ino took out a mirror and huddled together with Sakura.
What the young ninja longed for was ninja combat.
Naturally, they were more interested in things related to fighting.
Taijutsu, Ninja Tools, ninjutsu...
Uchiha Setsuna was the same. Those academic lessons were even less useful to him.
But when afternoon came, the students perked up.
"Now, I'll teach you how to extract Chakra!"
