Ximen Zhen realized he had bitten off more than he could chew.

Although he could set detailed life plans for his simulated self and ensure that they were executed with 100% accuracy in the simulation, the unfortunate reality was that his time and energy were limited. It was difficult to pursue multiple life paths simultaneously in a single simulation.

In comparison, focusing on one specialized path per simulation and accumulating knowledge across multiple simulations was a much wiser approach.

So, should he specialize in learning ninjutsu, physical training, or medical ninjutsu?

It seemed the answer should be medical ninjutsu, as that path would allow Ximen Zhen to quickly increase the number of simulations he could perform.

But the problem was—how could he bring that knowledge into the real world?

As someone from a civilian background, he had no opportunity to study medicine formally. In fact, even his ability to write books now was already barely justifiable as "self-taught."

It seemed the most reasonable approach would be to find a doctor or a medical ninja in real life and ask to become their apprentice.

Until then, he would focus on training his body and learning basic ninjutsu to build a solid foundation for future development.

Now that he was already over thirteen years old, and although he had the same level of talent as Tenten, he hadn't received any formal ninja education—so there was still a lot for him to catch up on.

It was time to close that gap.

After adjusting his strategy, he resumed the simulation.

[You realized that with your current level of talent, mastering medical ninjutsu would be difficult. So you decided to first build a closer relationship with Tenten and learn ninjutsu from her.]

[Because you're already familiar with Tenten's preferences, the two of you quickly became close friends who talked about everything. You even sensed that Tenten seemed more forward than you remembered.]

[You attributed this change in her to your own improvement.]

Ximen Zhen rubbed his nose, thinking, That's probably true.

He was already far beyond the person he had been half a month ago, and once this simulation was over, he would no longer be just another nobody.

[In the 64th year of Konoha, you held Tenten's hand at her birthday party. She didn't pull away.]

Seeing this, Ximen Zhen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Even though he knew this was just a simulation, things were progressing this quickly between him and Tenten?

Wasn't Tenten supposed to be a bit slow when it came to romance?

The thought flashed through his mind and vanished quickly, because the next parts of the simulation captured his full attention.

[After becoming a couple, you felt it was time to tell Tenten about your chakra awakening.]

[Tenten was surprised but delighted—now you had a new topic you could bond over. She also supported your choice not to become a ninja, but to train in ninjutsu to strengthen your body.]

[However, as someone who followed Konoha's rules, Tenten decided to teach you only her family's private ninjutsu.]

Reading this, Ximen Zhen frowned slightly but then relaxed.

He understood. Tenten had no choice. If he learned forbidden or restricted techniques and was later discovered by the village, it wouldn't just be him who'd be punished.

Clearly, once he had built a solid foundation, he needed to find a way to get his hands on the Scroll of Seals.

There were still over six months left before Naruto's graduation and the infamous theft of the Scroll of Seals. He still had time.

[You told Tenten that a few basic techniques for self-defense would be enough, so she started teaching you chakra refining and control from the ground up.]

[In the 64th year of Konoha, you followed Tenten and completed the basic ninja education—learning to climb trees, walk on water, and perform the three fundamental techniques.]

[In the 65th year of Konoha, you focused on physical training and taijutsu. Your body underwent significant changes, and you became a lean, well-built young man.]

[In the 66th year, you began learning weapon control and sealing techniques from the Tenten family's space-time scrolls.]

[In the 67th year, Tenten's family discovered she had been secretly teaching you the clan's secret techniques. Confronted by her relatives, you proposed to her—and she happily accepted.]

[In the 68th year, you and Tenten held your wedding, and she officially applied to leave the front lines.]

[Over the years, your strength steadily improved, to the point where you could exchange dozens of moves with Tenten. Your writing career also flourished even more than in your previous life, giving Tenten full confidence in your future together.]

Reading this, Ximen Zhen couldn't help but sigh.

It's only the 68th year of Konoha!

This was the year Naruto had just returned from training—and now, he'd probably be completely dumbfounded to come back and find one of his former teammates getting married.

And Konoha Year 68 was a turbulent time; a major war was about to break out in the ninja world. Ximen Zhen doubted the peaceful life Tenten imagined would last for long.

As expected, just as he had predicted, Tenten was drafted into the war.

[In the 68th year of Konoha, the Fourth Great Ninja War broke out. Tenten was called to arms, and you took the opportunity to enroll in Konoha's medical division, hoping to support the village as part of the logistics team.]

[Through this, you gained initial exposure to medical knowledge and healing techniques—but your chakra control was insufficient for actual medical ninjutsu.]

Ximen Zhen froze for a moment. He had been thrilled to finally come into contact with medical ninjutsu—only to discover that his talent had hit a wall.

He knew that medical ninjutsu, especially techniques like the Mystical Palm, required exceptional chakra control.

But was Tenten's chakra control really that bad…? Well, recalling her simulation stats, she did only have a 4 in both "Hand Seals" and "Spiritual Energy." So yeah—she probably wasn't great at this.

So what now? Give up on the idea?

The thought crossed his mind—but he quickly rejected it.

If Tenten's talents weren't enough to help him learn medical ninjutsu, then he'd just find someone else to simulate it with.

[After the war, you and Tenten returned to a peaceful life.]

[While running her ninja tools shop, Tenten also managed all the copyrights for your books. Riding the wave of post-war peace and economic growth, you became a renowned author throughout the ninja world.]

[However, you slowed your writing pace and turned your attention to studying ninjutsu. You even picked up some common low-level jutsu along the way.]

[The newly appointed Hokage, Kakashi, turned a blind eye—treating you as a harmless enthusiast.]

[You collected a large number of low-difficulty ninjutsu techniques, but due to your limited talent, it remained very difficult for you to master elemental ninjutsu.]

Ximen Zhen furrowed his brows.

Even though elemental jutsu had become less relevant in the post-war era of the ninja world, they were still powerful and worth learning.

So Tenten wasn't talented in that area either… which, to be fair, made sense.

If she had been able to master elemental techniques easily, she wouldn't have relied so heavily on ninja tools in the first place.

No matter how rich you are, you can't keep throwing out dozens or hundreds of weapons in every battle!

Ximen Zhen sighed deeply… Talent—it always comes down to talent.
