As usual, the first simulation attempt had to be used right at the start.

After Ximen Zhen input the initial settings, the simulation resumed.

[In the 63rd year of Konoha, you achieved some success in your writing career. The Legend of Uchiha Madara was successfully published, bringing you a decent income.]

[The ninja tools you designed also caught the attention of Tenten's family. You and Tenten became good friends, but you had no romantic interest in her. Your relationship remained strictly business, limited to ninja tool exchanges.]

[In your spare time, you didn't forget to train your body and refine your chakra. You knew that only through relentless effort could you break through to the next level.]

Seeing these lines of simulated text, Ximen Zhen nodded slightly.

That was exactly the strategy he was using this time.

He couldn't abandon his main profession, which he had already grown accustomed to. With this identity and strength, everything else became more convenient.

Next on the list was contacting Yugao Uzuki.

[Unfortunately, you continued to be plagued by a mysterious illness. Yugao Uzuki had to treat you once every three days.]

[Just when you were hoping that she would report your condition to the higher-ups, giving her a reason to approach you, Ino Yamanaka suddenly showed up at your doorstep with her grandmother, claiming she wanted to tell you stories about the Uchiha clan.]

Wait... who?

Ximen Zhen was stunned. Why did Ino show up?

Was it just a coincidence—or something more?

For a moment, Ximen Zhen hesitated on whether or not to interfere with the simulation, especially since the focus of this run was supposed to be Yugao Uzuki.

Or perhaps… was it possible that although the simulation was aimed at Yugao Uzuki, he could still interact with Ino Yamanaka?

Ximen Zhen was tempted to try. In theory, it shouldn't be possible, since he didn't have Ino Yamanaka's pheromone data.

But this led to a new idea.

Could he court both Yugao Uzuki and Tenten at the same time?

After all, the system already had Tenten's pheromone data.

If he could get both of them to bear his children, would that allow him to inherit a double set of bloodline talents?

The thought alone made Ximen Zhen excited.

But in the end, he didn't act on the idea right away. Simulation attempts were still too precious.

Better to wait. This round would focus on obtaining Yugao Uzuki's medical ninjutsu talent. Everything else could wait.

As for Ino Yamanaka… since the system had mentioned her, maybe he'd run into her again later.

To get her pheromone data, Ximen Zhen needed to awaken his medical ninjutsu talent anyway. That would give him a valid excuse.

So, Ximen Zhen decided to wait and see. The simulation soon revealed Ino Yamanaka's following actions.

[Ino Yamanaka became a regular visitor. It turned out she was very interested in stories about the Uchiha clan. Over time, the two of you became friends.]

[Eventually, Ino discovered you had chakra. You didn't hide it and told her that you didn't know much about how it worked.]

[Ino naturally began teaching you chakra control techniques, but she didn't teach you any actual jutsu.]

[Once she felt she had learned enough about the Uchiha, her visits gradually decreased.]

Reading this, Ximen Zhen frowned slightly. Something felt off.

Ino Yamanaka seemed to have an agenda. But what was her purpose?

After all, Ximen Zhen and Ino didn't know each other before this… Could it be the work of the Hokage?

Ino came from the Yamanaka clan—one of the three clans most closely aligned with the Hokage. Unless the Hokage personally instructed it, those clans rarely involved themselves in village matters.

It seemed likely that Yugao had reported Ximen Zhen's "illness" to the Hokage, who in turn decided how to respond—but chose not to send Yugao personally.

This made Ximen Zhen furrow his brows deeper. A sense of foreboding crept in.

[Afterward, you tried faking another illness episode, but no one came to treat your injuries. You had to heal slowly on your own.]

[You realized that the Hokage's surveillance over you had ended, and from that point on, you were truly free.]

Ximen Zhen immediately chose to intervene in the simulation. Things had developed beyond what he expected.

The Hokage had kindly solved his problem, but removing Yugao Uzuki from the situation also cut off all his chances of interacting with her.

And she was an ANBU agent...

Ximen Zhen pondered as he filled out the guidance interface. If he made another misstep, this simulation might end in complete failure.

It seemed… it was time for a bold move.

Soon, the simulation resumed again.

[In the 63rd year of Konoha, you decided to meet the Hokage directly and confront him about Yugao Uzuki.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to meet with you. When you told him about a goddess from your dreams who kept healing your illness and how you wanted to see her again, he choked on his pipe and coughed up tears.]

[At first, Hiruzen wanted to refuse. He didn't want Yugao's identity exposed, nor did he want to interfere in her private life.]

[But you offered him an irresistible bargain: the Legend of the Hokage series. After reading your Legend of Hiruzen Sarutobi, his eyes sparkled with excitement.]

Ximen Zhen's lips curved into a slight smile.

Compared to the previous two Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a figure of mixed reputation.

The core issue was that he lacked the personal power to suppress internal conflicts in the village. As a result, he had to empower Danzo Shimura and allow the main Hokage clans to grow unchecked.

This directly escalated tensions with the Uchiha clan, allowed the Hyuga clan to grow too independent, and caused many of Konoha's top ninjas to drift away from the village's interests.

Of course, blaming everything on Hiruzen would be too harsh.

At the time, Konoha had no better options. After all, Hashirama and Tobirama Senju hadn't left behind powerful heirs.

Hiruzen had done everything he could. But the structure of Konoha had been built by the God of Shinobi himself—there was no way Hiruzen could maintain that legacy.

For the chapters detailing these events, Ximen Zhen gave them a bold title: "The Limits of History."

And his final verdict on Hiruzen was summarized in a single sentence:

"He was the caretaker of Konoha's old era and the cornerstone of its prosperity."

Ximen Zhen could already picture Hiruzen weeping tears of pride as he read the book.

Writing it was his way of repaying the Hokage for the many favors he had received.

[Hiruzen praised your writing and said that young people should handle young people's affairs themselves.]

[He had you sign a confidentiality agreement forbidding you from disclosing Yugao Uzuki's identity, and then instructed her to meet with you once.]

[Yugao, after learning the basics of what happened, assumed you simply wanted to thank her for saving you. She gladly came to the arranged location.]
