Uchiha Sasuke's Dream!

[This simulation has ended.]

[Please choose one of the following two rewards.]

[1: Fox Heart Technique.]

[2: The object you were holding in your hand at the moment of death.]

"I choose 1!"

A stream of information flooded into Uchiha Setsuna's mind.

Setsuna then got up, changed clothes, and walked out of his room.

After breakfast, he headed straight for the Ninja Academy.

"Grandfather, I'm off to school."

"Alright, stay safe."

Setsuna waved his hand and quickly disappeared from Uchiha Kayan's sight.

On the way, Setsuna ran into Uchiha Sasuke.

Setsuna still had no intention of greeting Sasuke.

Sasuke watched Setsuna's retreating back, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

"Maybe Setsuna does hold some resentment toward me."

"We're both Uchiha, but I can live carefree, putting all my energy into ninja training—he can't."

"That really isn't fair."

"But."

Sasuke clenched his fist.

"I believe this will change."

"Under mine and my brother's efforts, we'll restore the Uchiha Clan's glory, bring back prosperity to the entire clan, and let everyone live without a care."

"That is my dream!"

Entering the classroom.

"Morning, Setsuna."

Yamanaka Ino and Hyuga Hinata still took the initiative to greet Setsuna.

The difference was that Ino's voice was much louder.

Hinata's voice was so soft that only Setsuna could hear it.

Sakura's gaze flickered between Ino and Setsuna.

"Ino..."

Sakura leaned close to Ino, lowering her voice.

The two whispered to each other.

Occasionally, they glanced in Setsuna's direction.

Setsuna could roughly guess what they were talking about.

In the Life Simulator, Ino had confessed to him every single time.

So her liking him must have started very early.

Setsuna couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

"People in this world really mature fast."

"At this age, they're already thinking about things like that."

He didn't dislike Ino's feelings, but there was no way he could reciprocate them.

The Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall weighed on him like a mountain.

The morning was still academic classes; the afternoon was still chakra extraction.

Setsuna's disguise was flawless.

No one noticed anything unusual about him; they just saw him as an ordinary Uchiha.

Most of the attention on the Uchiha fell on Sasuke.

The day ended.

Setsuna went home, ate dinner, rested, and waited until the next morning.

[This simulation has ended.]

[Please choose your reward from the two options below.]

[1: Hell Viewing Technique.]

[2: The object clutched in your hand at the moment of death.]

"I choose 1!"

A surge of information flooded in.

Uchiha Setsuna began calculating in his heart.

"Right now, I have chakra at the Genin level, two C-rank Fire Release techniques, one B-rank Fire Release, and two D-rank genjutsu. To acquire more powerful genjutsu, there are two ways."

"One is to obtain it from Konoha, for example, by learning from Yūhi Kurenai."

"Kurenai's genjutsu skill is quite impressive; she became a Jonin thanks to it."

"The second is to reveal to the Uchiha Clan that I have already awakened the Sharingan, and then obtain the Sharingan's exclusive genjutsu from Fugaku Uchiha. It will be much stronger than ordinary genjutsu."

Uchiha Setsuna pondered for a moment.

"Since this is inside the Life Simulator, there's no need to hold back."

"I'll just directly reveal the fact that my eyes are open."

"The Sharingan's exclusive genjutsu is indeed considerably stronger than ordinary genjutsu."

"Once I learn the Sharingan's exclusive genjutsu, I can try to escape Konoha again within the Life Simulator."

He arrived at the Ninja Academy.

Today's curriculum had been changed. The morning session was replaced with physical training, and the afternoon became cultural studies.

Iruka led the group to the training ground.

"Alright, everyone, this morning's goal is four 1000-meter runs, ten 100-meter shuttle runs, plus 100 push-ups and 100 pull-ups. Once you finish those, you can rest."

As Iruka's voice fell, pained expressions appeared on some students' faces.

Not all students enjoyed physical training.

"Alright, begin!"

Iruka urged them on.

"The first one to finish gets a reward."

This stirred a competitive spirit in many students.

Uchiha Setsuna ran in the middle of the pack, neither falling behind nor taking the lead.

He attracted absolutely no attention.

Right from the start, Naruto shot to the front.

With the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan and being the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto could be considered a stamina freak.

Kiba Inuzuka ran neck and neck with Naruto.

As a member of the Inuzuka Clan, Kiba often trained with his Ninja Dog; if his stamina were lacking, it would be completely impossible.

Nara Shikamaru lagged at the very back of the group.

It wasn't that Shikamaru lacked stamina. Among these people, Shikamaru wasn't the one with the worst physical fitness.

Shikamaru simply didn't want to run.

But soon, Sasuke Uchiha overtook Naruto and Kiba.

When it came to speed, Sasuke didn't want to fall behind either.

Moreover, over a distance that wasn't extremely long, Sasuke was definitely stronger than Naruto. Only if the distance were increased several dozen times would Naruto possibly rely on his stamina to surpass Sasuke.

Uchiha Setsuna glanced over, then looked away.

"Good thing people in this world can't be broken by training."

"Otherwise, with this kind of intensity, who knows how many people would end up crippled from it."
