Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Barrier Ninja
9 AM
You ran a lap around the Uchiha Clan, and other than a few Ninja returning home from missions, you didn't find anything unusual.
10 AM
After running ten laps around the Uchiha Clan at full speed, you started to feel tired and returned to the snack street in the Uchiha Clan for breakfast.
You inadvertently saw Uchiha Okaban chasing a dog with some people.
You used your old trick, hitting his back with a stone, then made an international friendly gesture, and using your speed advantage, led him alone into an deserted alley.
You threw a large pebble you picked up by the river, shattering one of Uchiha Okaban's white teeth. Then, taking advantage of his momentary daze, you picked up the pebble and forcibly stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from shouting.
You blocked the alley entrance and used a bamboo pole to whip Uchiha Okaban, who was trying to escape.
Uchiha Okaban was beaten by you until he knelt and begged for mercy. You used a Kunai to cut his windpipe, tied his hands and feet, and abandoned him in the deserted alley.
If he was lucky enough, he might encounter a kind person and survive.
11 AM
You continued running around the Uchiha Clan. At this time, more and more Uchiha Ninja were returning from missions, but no one noticed this strange phenomenon.
12 PM
It was too strange to still be running at this time. To prevent anyone from becoming suspicious, you moved a small stool and sat by the Nanga River, starting to fish.
1 PM
You started a fire and were grilling fish while fishing.
2 PM
You took a bite of grilled fish and realized you hadn't brought salt. The number of Uchiha Ninja returning to the Uchiha Clan was also decreasing, and you realized that moment was about to arrive.
3 PM
After your patient wait, a fish finally bit the hook.
You saw two or three people dressed as merchants, carrying briefcases, standing on the opposite bank of the river, pointing and gesturing.
This was a place where you often came to fish in the past, and you chose this spot precisely because very few Uchiha Clan members passed through here, seeking tranquility.
And these three merchants, without guards, suddenly appearing in this wilderness, clearly, they were not ordinary merchants.
After the few people on the opposite bank finished talking, they all focused their gaze on you. You stuck out your tongue at them and continued digging for earthworms in the dirt.
Seeing this, the few people didn't take you seriously.
Just a three-year-old child, not even half the average enrollment age for the Ninja Academy. What threat could a child playing in the mud pose?
4 PM
The three people on the opposite bank spread out, and one of them was closer to you. He was using a small shovel to dig the ground into peculiar shapes.
Seeing this, you started shouting at the three people across the river, but they remained unmoved, which further aroused your suspicion.
So you clumsily swam across the river, walked up to one person, and loudly demanded to know their name and why they were digging near the Uchiha Clan.
The person grabbed your collar and cursed at you, telling you to get lost, but at this moment, your eyes were fixed on their briefcase.
You pretended to be scared, subtly taking two steps back, but actually moving your body closer to the briefcase.
The person digging paused their movements, their index and middle fingers joined, touching their forehead. You keenly sensed a ripple sweeping over your body, which also confirmed your suspicion that the person was either an Anbu or a Root Ninja.
Fortunately, you had already exhausted your Chakra beforehand, so the person did not discover the nearly adult strength hidden beneath your infantile body, nor did they discover the thoughts hidden in your mind.
5 PM
You just stood beside him, occasionally provoking him, and he adapted to your behavior.
And that's the effect you wanted.
Seemingly finished digging, the Ninja in front of you put away his shovel and clapped his hands. At the same time, he gave a look to his companions on both sides who were also ready, and then began to form hand signs.
Just then, you suddenly erupted, rushing towards the briefcase with a speed impossible for a three-year-old child. At the same time, you rapidly circulated the meridians in your body, trying to refine a bit of Chakra to aid in battle. Your black pupils also turned blood-red, and a single tomoe spun out!
The opponent discovered your actions but could not stop forming hand signs. It seemed some force connected these hand-signing Ninja, preventing them from disengaging during the process.
However, the power of a Ninja cannot be underestimated. Although the opponent couldn't free his hands, his feet were idle. He quickly kicked out towards your path of action. If you continued to charge, you would be kicked with this Chakra-infused blow, breaking your tendons and bones!
You quickly shot several Shuriken at the opponent's vital points. Unexpectedly, the opponent did not dodge or evade, taking your attack with his body. You, relying on the Sharingan's dynamic vision and the enhancement of your physical reaction ability, forcibly grabbed the briefcase with your hand at the cost of severe damage to your left abdomen.
As you grabbed the briefcase, the opponent also completed his hand signs.
But you didn't wait for the opponent to counterattack; you directly pulled out a Kunai and slid it across your neck, ending your life.
You died…
Simulation Ended
Calculating Rewards…
System Evaluation of Both Sides' Strength
In this simulation, the holder attempted to disrupt Root's attempt to seal off the Uchiha Clan with a Barrier, but lacked the strength, only causing a minor interlude for Root and failing to escape the fate of death…
Overall result judged as a Best Effort!
Rewards have been settled!
Holder can choose two out of the following three rewards:
『1』Simulation Count +1
『2』One Grilled Fish
『3』Root Ninja's Briefcase
"Didn't get the Three Body Technique? What a pity!"
Looking at the rewards before him, Uchiha Kirin sighed softly. Fortunately, he didn't leave empty-handed; at least he got the Ninja's box.
"A box that Root Ninja keep separately must contain something extraordinary!"
With a thought, Uchiha Kirin claimed the first and third rewards.
"It was directly placed in the storage space? How thoughtful."
Taking the box out of the storage space and placing it on his lap, Uchiha Kirin noticed a thin layer of Chakra covering the box: "Is this a seal?"
Uchiha Kirin was slightly disappointed. He didn't dare to open this box rashly in reality, not only fearing damage to its contents but also fearing that something bad might happen if this item, imbued with Root Ninja's Chakra, was triggered.
"Let's claim the spoils of war first!"
Detected target eliminated.
Extracting two spoils of war based on highest value.
『1』5 Strength attribute points
『2』12 Exploding Tags
"Exploding Tags, just in time!"
After receiving the spoils of war, Uchiha Kirin felt the strengthening of his internal muscle strength and opened the attribute panel:

"My strength has increased again! Since I don't dare to open it in reality, why not open it in the simulator!"
Uchiha Kirin took out two Exploding Tags from his storage space and placed them on the box, then lightly touched the panel: "Forgive me, Uchiha Okaban~"
