After class, Uchiha Setsuna hurried back home. The night passed quietly.

"Start the simulation!"

[At 6, you displayed a genius demeanor, attracting the attention of many.]

[At 6 years and 1 month, Yamanaka Ino confessed to you, you accepted, and Yamanaka Ino was very happy.]

[However, your other deskmate, Hyuga Hinata, seemed a bit down, recalling certain things.]

[At 6 years and 2 months, Sakura approached you, hoping you'd help her ask out Uchiha Sasuke. You agreed, but Uchiha Sasuke refused and scolded Sakura loudly, making her cry.]

[At 6 years and 3 months, your relationship with Yamanaka Ino improved, and the two of you often went in and out together like a real couple, making many envious.]

[At 6 years and 4 months, you went on a date with Yamanaka Ino.]

[When you confirmed that there were only the two of you around, you used Genjutsu: Sharingan on Yamanaka Ino, hoping to obtain information on the Mind Body Switch Technique from her.]

[But you failed; Yamanaka Ino didn't know it.]

[You attempted to acquire the Mind Transfer Jutsu.]

[But you failed again; learning the Mind Transfer Jutsu requires a special ninjutsu scroll, without which you can't learn it.]

[At 6 years and 5 months, you received a warning from the Yamanaka clan to stay away from Yamanaka Ino.]

[At 6 years and 6 months, you went on another date with Yamanaka Ino.]

[You requested Yamanaka Ino to invite you to the Yamanaka clan's residence as a guest.]

[Yamanaka Ino agreed.]

[On your way to visit the Yamanaka clan, you were stopped by Anbu ninjas.]

[You killed two Anbu ninjas, but more appeared.]

[You died!]

[This simulation ends.]

[Please choose your reward from the two options below.]

[1: None.]

[2: The item you held in your hand before dying.]

Uchiha Setsuna opened his eyes. "Failed! These people are really ruthless. What did I do? I was just going to visit the Yamanaka clan, and those Anbu ninjas tried to kill me. And Anbu is under Sarutobi Hiruzen's command. They don't want to leave any hope for the Uchiha clan. They won't spare even one Uchiha."

Previously, Uchiha Setsuna thought he might use Yamanaka Ino's affection for him to gain protection from the Yamanaka clan. But now it seems there's no chance of that. Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

"Night of the clan's demise, death. Escape early, death! Seek refuge with Sarutobi Hiruzen, death! Seek refuge with Danzo, death! Get too close to the Yamanaka clan, death! No matter what I do, it's a dead end. In Konoha, aside from Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi, no other Uchiha has even half a chance of survival. That's Konoha! It's truly disgusting!"

Uchiha Setsuna had long known the viciousness and shamelessness of Konoha's higher-ups, but this still surprised him. In this life simulation, Uchiha Setsuna's actions weren't severe at all. But Konoha's higher-ups wouldn't give Uchiha Setsuna even the slightest hope.

"I choose 2!"

In the life simulation, Uchiha Setsuna died too suddenly, unable to acquire any ninjutsu, so he could only choose 2. The next moment, a ninja sword appeared in Uchiha Setsuna's hand. An Anbu ninja sword.

Arriving at the classroom.

"Setsuna, good morning."

"Good morning."

Uchiha Setsuna's voice was a bit hoarse. Yamanaka Ino saw the look in Uchiha Setsuna's eyes and, for some reason, suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

"Setsuna..."

Yamanaka Ino wanted to say something, but Uchiha Setsuna had already lowered his head.

'Why does Setsuna have such an expression? Anger, despair, and when looking at me, a bit of apology. What happened?'

Iruka's voice rang out. The morning was cultural studies. Some were listening attentively, represented by Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura. Uchiha Sasuke hoped to be a perfect student. He wanted to maintain the top position in the grade, across all subjects. Sakura wasn't particularly talented in other courses, but she had a knack for cultural studies, so she worked hard in this area to get closer to Uchiha Sasuke.

Inuzuka Kiba and Naruto sat in the back row, neither listening to the lesson. Akimichi Choji was secretly eating snacks. Nara Shikamaru was daydreaming. Yamanaka Ino kept recalling the look in Uchiha Setsuna's eyes.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Setsuna was thinking of a way to achieve his goals in the life simulator.

'It seems I can operate like this. In a previous life simulation, I sought refuge with Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he agreed. He didn't kill me immediately and even assigned me tasks. It wasn't until the night of the clan's demise, after discussing with Uchiha Itachi, Danzo, and others, that he ordered the Anbu ninjas to kill me. So, can I operate like this? First, seek refuge with Sarutobi Hiruzen. Then accept Yamanaka Ino's confession. Shortly after accepting, have Yamanaka Ino invite me to the Yamanaka clan. Use Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, and Genjutsu to obtain the Yamanaka clan's secret scroll. No need to escape; the moment I get it, commit suicide immediately. That secret scroll will become the item I hold in my hand before dying in the life simulation. After the life simulation ends, I can choose that secret scroll as a reward. And learn the secret technique in the real world. Or use one life simulation as a cost to learn that technique.'

This is the third way to use the life simulator. The first is to obtain something. The second is to test a plan. The third is to use a life simulation as a period of time; in the life simulation, it might be over a year, and it could become longer in the future. But for the real-world Uchiha Setsuna, it's just a moment. In one day, Uchiha Setsuna can conduct a life simulation.

Iruka glanced down from the podium. He shook his head helplessly; there were too many students not paying attention. It wasn't until his gaze fell on Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke that Iruka felt a bit gratified. Any responsible teacher hopes their students will study diligently. Sakura and Iruka were both from civilian ninja backgrounds, which naturally made Iruka feel a sense of closeness. However, Iruka didn't have any bias against Uchiha Sasuke. The relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha was indeed tense and discordant. But Iruka didn't care much about these things. Moreover, Iruka wasn't aware of Konoha's higher-ups' plans; his rank was too low.
