At the same time, Uchiha Setsuna grew increasingly resentful towards Uchiha Itachi and those involved in the night of the clan's massacre.
'Uchiha Itachi, how could you do it? You're a beast!'
Uchiha Setsuna withdrew his gaze. 'But this was the original fate of Uchiha Sayu. Now, I have the life simulator. Everything has a chance to change.'
Uchiha Sayu noticed Uchiha Setsuna suddenly fell silent and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Setsuna, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Uchiha Setsuna forced a smile. "Sayu, I'm going to continue training. Do you want to head back first?"
"No, I'll stay here and watch you train, Brother Setsuna."
"Then be careful, don't get too close to me."
"Okay."
Time passed bit by bit. Uchiha Sayu watched intently. 'Brother Setsuna is working so hard, he will definitely become a very powerful ninja in the future. Sayu, you can't fall behind either. Keep it up.'
Gradually, the sky darkened. Uchiha Setsuna stopped training. "Sayu, let's go back."
"Okay."
Uchiha Sayu jumped down from the rock and ran to Uchiha Setsuna, slipping her hand into his, not minding the sweat at all. When they reached the door of their homes, Uchiha Setsuna finally let go of Uchiha Sayu's hand.
"Brother Setsuna, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Uchiha Setsuna pushed open the gate of the courtyard. "Grandpa, I'm back."
"What do you want for dinner?"
"You decide, Grandpa. I'll take a bath first."
"Alright."
Uchiha Setsuna immersed his whole body in the water, and all the fatigue seemed to dissipate in an instant. Uchiha Setsuna closed his eyes.
Dinner time.
"Setsuna, the day after tomorrow you'll be going to the ninja academy. Tomorrow, I plan to invite the neighbors and little Sayu's family over. What do you think?"
"They've taken good care of us over the years." Uchiha Homura said.
Over the years, Uchiha Homura and Uchiha Setsuna had indeed received a lot of care. One old and one young. Uchiha Homura was once a ninja, but he was severely injured on the battlefield, leaving him disabled and not very mobile. Uchiha Setsuna was still young. The neighbor's children were still around. And little Sayu's father passed away early but left a large inheritance for the family. Both families were in a much better situation than Uchiha Setsuna's family. Thus, they provided a lot of help.
"Grandpa, I think it's a good idea. They have indeed taken good care of us."
"Alright, it's settled then."
Uchiha Homura said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll go buy the ingredients. We'll have a simple lunch and invite them over for dinner."
"Grandpa, let me buy the ingredients."
Uchiha Homura's disability was in his legs, making it difficult for him to move.
"But your training?"
"It's fine. I'm currently doing physical training, and buying ingredients is also a form of physical training to some extent. Grandpa, let me do it."
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then."
After dinner, tidying up, Uchiha Setsuna returned to his room. A whole day of training had left Uchiha Setsuna's body and mind quite exhausted. He soon fell asleep.
The day broke. Uchiha Setsuna got up early.
"Start the simulation! This time, the main goal is to train hard! Also, try to escape during the chaos once more. Now that my strength has improved, maybe I can do it."
The second life simulation made Uchiha Setsuna realize one thing: escaping early was completely unrealistic. What Uchiha Setsuna could do was to work harder in the life simulation. To gain more benefits from it.
[Age 6, you entered the ninja academy to study. Due to your Uchiha lineage, you were placed in a good class. To your left was Hyuga Hinata, and to your right was Yamanaka Ino.]
[Age 6 and 1 month, you learned the Three Body Technique.]
[Age 6 and 2 months, you obtained a ninjutsu scroll from home and learned the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.]
[Age 6 and 3 months, Naruto challenged you and you easily defeated him.]
[Age 6 and 4 months, Yamanaka Ino confessed to you, but you didn't respond, leaving her disappointed.]
[Age 6 and 5 months, Uchiha Sasuke approached you, acknowledging you as the second genius in the class, and wanted to train with you to uphold Uchiha glory.]
[But you looked down on Uchiha Sasuke, having no time for this ignorant kid.]
[Age 6 and 6 months, you obtained a ninjutsu scroll from home and learned the Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.]
[Age 6 and 7 months, you trained hard.]
[Age 6 and 8 months, Uchiha Sasuke challenged you and you easily defeated him.]
[Age 6 and 9 months, Hyuga Hinata remembered certain things and became curious about you.]
[Age 6 and 10 months, you made some preparations to escape from Konoha.]
[Age 6 and 11 months, you trained hard.]
[Age 7, on the night of the clan's massacre, you attempted to escape during the chaos but were caught by Uchiha Itachi and died!]
[This simulation ends.]
[Please choose one of the two options below for your reward.]
[1: Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.]
[2: The item you held in your hand before dying.]
Uchiha Setsuna's eyes flickered. 'Still not possible, escaping early doesn't work, escaping during chaos doesn't work either, even though my strength has increased. In this life simulation, my strength has steadily reached the Genin level. Even among Genin, I could be considered outstanding. But Uchiha Itachi is too strong. Yet, such a strong Uchiha Itachi doesn't stand with the Uchiha clan. Instead, he personally carried out the clan's massacre.'
Uchiha Setsuna hesitated between the two options. 'Should I choose option 2 and see what happens? Try it, even if the result isn't good, it's just one wasted simulation. I choose 2!'
In the next moment, nothing appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's hand. Uchiha Setsuna: "..."
Changing clothes, Uchiha Setsuna walked out of the room. "Grandpa, good morning."
"Good morning."
"Grandpa, I'm going to buy the ingredients now. What should I get?"
"Here's the list for you, I've also written down the prices. They might see you're a child and quote a high price."
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll be careful."
Uchiha Setsuna walked out of the courtyard. "Grandpa, I'm off."
Soon, Uchiha Setsuna arrived at the market. The market of Konoha.
