Hinata Hyuga took the small snacks back, feeling a bit downhearted. The afternoon class was chakra extraction. Uchiha Setsuna pretended to listen to the class but was actually pondering over the issue with Kabuto Yakushi. Class ended. Uchiha Setsuna walked out of the classroom, heading in the direction of home.
"Uchiha Setsuna."
Uchiha Sasuke caught up once again. "If you need any help, feel free to ask. We are both young members of the Uchiha clan, the future of the Uchiha. We should help each other now."
"No, I just didn't rest well." Uchiha Setsuna didn't say much to Uchiha Sasuke.
Back home, Uchiha Sasuke saw a figure and was very happy.
"Brother."
"Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi showed a smile. However, Uchiha Itachi noticed that Uchiha Sasuke didn't seem to be in a good mood initially.
"Sasuke, what's wrong? Did something upset you?"
Uchiha Sasuke shook his head. But after hesitating for a while, Uchiha Sasuke still said, "Brother, I'm worried and anxious about the current situation of our Uchiha clan."
"Oh?"
"Our Uchiha clan is clearly the first ninja family of Konoha, but the situation isn't very optimistic. Many Uchiha clan members aren't living well. I think it's because father isn't doing well enough. I want to change this. Brother, you must have seen it too and think the same, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't work so hard. I believe, once the two of us grow up, everything will be fine. We will become very strong. Then lead the Uchiha clan back to the peak. Brother, what do you think?"
Uchiha Itachi's eyes flickered. "Sure." Then, he showed a fake smile and bumped fists with Uchiha Sasuke. But Uchiha Sasuke couldn't tell.
"Brother, I'll go train in the backyard first."
"Okay." Uchiha Itachi watched Uchiha Sasuke's back. Uchiha Itachi was pleased with Uchiha Sasuke's efforts. But Uchiha Itachi didn't agree with what Uchiha Sasuke said.
'Lead the Uchiha to the peak? Make the Uchiha stronger? How could such a thing be done? The current Uchiha are always thinking about rebellion, making Konoha's situation extremely tense. With the village already facing external threats, adding more trouble to it. If the Uchiha become stronger, what then? Such a thing must never happen!'
The next day.
"Start simulation!" The first thing Uchiha Setsuna did when he opened his eyes was to start a life simulation.
[At 6 years old, you displayed a genius demeanor, attracting countless attention.]
[At 6 years and 2 months, Ino Yamanaka confessed to you, but you didn't respond, leaving her very disappointed.]
[At 6 years and 6 months, you joined Danzo, becoming a member of the Root.]
[At 6 years and 7 months, you were monitoring the Uchiha clan.]
[At 7 years old, the night of the clan massacre occurred, and the Uchiha clan was annihilated.]
[At 7 years and 1 month, you secretly investigated the matter of Nonō Yakushi.]
[At 7 years and 2 months, you found the house where Nonō Yakushi lived, but after searching the entire house, you didn't find what you wanted.]
[At 7 years and 3 months, you searched for relevant information in the Root organization's base.]
[At 7 years and 4 months, you were discovered, and you chose to escape. Danzo ordered a manhunt for you.]
[Facing a large number of Root ninjas, you could only fight while fleeing.]
[You used Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon to kill two Root ninjas.]
[You used Genjutsu Sharingan to control a Root ninja, trying to obtain information through Genjutsu.]
[But under the effect of the Tongue Cursed Seal, they couldn't reveal any information about Danzo.]
[At this moment, you thought of something, the Yamanaka clan's secret technique.]
[The Yamanaka clan's secret technique can directly read the information in the opponent's mind.]
[You were caught up.]
[You died!]
[This simulation ends.]
[Please choose your reward from the two options below.]
[1: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet.]
[2: The item you held in your hand before dying.]
"I choose 1." Uchiha Setsuna knew very well that in this life simulation, he didn't have anything in his hand. If he chose 2, it would be like last time, gaining nothing. To avoid this awkwardness, Uchiha Setsuna deliberately learned a ninjutsu in this life simulation. Even if it's not a very strong ninjutsu, it's better than nothing.
A burst of information flooded into Uchiha Setsuna's mind. Uchiha Setsuna summarized his current strength and ninjutsu.
Chakra level: Chūnin. General ninjutsu: Three Basic Jutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu. Fire Release: Great Fireball, Phoenix Fire, Great Fire Dragon, Great Fire Annihilation. Genjutsu: Fox's Inner Mind Technique, Abyssal Illusion, Genjutsu Sharingan. Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet.
At the ninja school, Uchiha Setsuna continued to attend classes, still slacking off.
'This life simulation let me know that Nonō Yakushi's old residence has none of that information. That's normal, after all, Kabuto Yakushi killed Nonō Yakushi, and upon returning to Konoha, he would definitely check. Danzo wouldn't allow Kabuto to have any chance of discovery. If it exists, it can only be in Danzo's Root organization base. But for me to obtain this information in such a vast and secretive Root organization base is very difficult. Unless I have a very convenient means of obtaining information. For example, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, or the Yamanaka clan's secret technique of directly reading information in the brain.'
Uchiha Setsuna subconsciously looked at Hinata Hyuga. Then glanced in the direction of Ino Yamanaka.
'Should I use these two in the life simulator?' This wasn't something Uchiha Setsuna wanted to do. Using Hinata Hyuga and Ino Yamanaka's affection for him to achieve his goals. Uchiha Setsuna could clearly see Ino Yamanaka's affection, not just him, anyone paying attention to Ino Yamanaka's behavior could see it. Uchiha Setsuna didn't know how Hinata Hyuga's affection came about. Even now, Uchiha Setsuna didn't know what Hinata Hyuga remembered in the simulator. The real-world Hinata Hyuga was also somewhat different from the impression of the original work. Uchiha Setsuna felt this was a bit underhanded.
'But, besides this method, I have almost no better way.'
Hinata Hyuga felt Uchiha Setsuna's gaze and was a bit puzzled. Ino Yamanaka, thinking of something, blushed slightly. In an instant, countless scenes had already played out in her mind.
