"I choose, 1!"
The next moment, Uchiha Setsuna felt a surge of energy within his body, rushing upwards. It stopped only when it reached his eyes. The intense sensation made Uchiha Setsuna involuntarily gasp. However, Uchiha Setsuna was not frightened but delighted. He got out of bed and turned to look at the mirror on the table. Half of Uchiha Setsuna's face appeared in the mirror. Above his two eyes, a single tomoe slowly rotated.
"Sharingan!"
For the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan is extremely important. It is the unique Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha clan. An Uchiha with the Sharingan is entirely different from one without it. With much stronger dynamic vision than ordinary people, the powerful Genjutsu that can only be used with the Sharingan, and enhanced dynamic observation abilities that lead to higher learning efficiency.
Uchiha Setsuna thought of someone. Kakashi. The reason Kakashi is called the Copy Ninja is because he uses the Sharingan's superior dynamic vision to copy enemy ninjutsu and then uses it with faster hand seals. Not only can he neutralize the opponent's ninjutsu, but this fighting style also disgusts the opponent.
"With the Sharingan, my strength has increased. Next time in the life simulator, I will be able to gain more benefits."
Uchiha Setsuna already had a rough plan for using the life simulator. The long-term goal is to prevent the Night of the Massacre, or to protect those close to him from that disaster. To achieve this goal, Uchiha Setsuna must have enough strength. And strength is divided into two parts. One is Chakra. The other is ninjutsu.
Uchiha Setsuna decided to focus on acquiring ninjutsu in the early stages of the life simulation. Once he has accumulated enough ninjutsu, he still needs to attempt to escape Konoha. Uchiha Setsuna must do this. Just ninjutsu alone cannot elevate Uchiha Setsuna's strength to a level that can rival Uchiha Itachi.
One year is too little time. At most, Uchiha Setsuna can raise his Genin-level Chakra to Chūnin-level, thereby gaining Chūnin-level Chakra benefits in the life simulator's options. But that's about it. In one year, it's almost impossible to raise Chūnin-level Chakra to Jonin-level. Without escaping Konoha, Uchiha Setsuna will never be able to gain Jonin-level Chakra from the life simulator. That means he won't be able to stop the Night of the Massacre.
'Currently, I have Genin-level Chakra, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, and the Uchiha's Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan. Overall strength, Genin.'
Uchiha Setsuna walked out of the room.
"Setsuna, I've made breakfast. After breakfast, I'll take you to the ninja academy."
"Grandfather, no need," Uchiha Setsuna said. "I can go by myself, Grandfather, you should stay home. I've grown up, I can handle these things myself, especially since your legs aren't very convenient."
"This... Setsuna, do you know the way?"
"Don't worry, Grandfather, besides me, there are other Uchihas going to the ninja academy, I can follow them, there won't be any problems." Uchiha Setsuna persuaded Uchiha Homura.
The Uchiha residence is on the outskirts of Konoha, and the distance to the ninja academy is not short, making it a difficult journey for Uchiha Homura, who has leg issues. Moreover, Uchiha Homura thought of a problem. That is, he is a disabled old man. He didn't want Uchiha Setsuna's classmates to know that Uchiha Setsuna had such a grandfather, fearing it would embarrass Uchiha Setsuna. Otherwise, Uchiha Homura would have insisted on taking him. Even if the journey was difficult for Uchiha Homura, he would have persisted.
After breakfast.
"Grandfather, I'm leaving."
"Okay, be safe."
As he walked out of the courtyard gate, a small head peeked out from the opposite side, it was Uchiha Sayu.
"Good luck, Brother Setsuna." Uchiha Sayu raised her small fist.
"Thank you." Uchiha Setsuna gave a smile, waved to Uchiha Sayu, and then walked towards the exit of the Uchiha residence. The closer he got to the exit, the more people there were. The Uchiha clan has a large population, so even the number of Uchihas entering the ninja academy this year reached more than a dozen, with Uchiha Setsuna being one of them.
Among them, the most attention was on Uchiha Sasuke. The second son of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku. The genius of the Uchiha clan, brother to Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Sasuke was born with countless glories. Countless eyes would fall on Uchiha Sasuke, paying attention to him, full of expectations, believing that Uchiha Sasuke's future would be limitless.
But Uchiha Setsuna couldn't bring himself to like Uchiha Sasuke. It's not that Uchiha Sasuke did anything wrong. But because Uchiha Sasuke is Uchiha Itachi's brother. Just this fact alone made Uchiha Setsuna unable to like Uchiha Sasuke. And Uchiha Fugaku, in Uchiha Setsuna's view, was not a qualified clan leader. In the face of Uchiha Itachi's massacre, he, who also had the Mangekyo Sharingan, took no resistance measures, allowing Uchiha Itachi to massacre the Uchiha.
'If the Uchiha clan had resisted, at least there wouldn't be only Uchiha Sasuke left. Even the Uzumaki clan, which was also massacred, still has many bloodlines outside. Tsunade, Naruto, Nagato, Karin... these people all have Uzumaki blood.'
Uchiha Sasuke kept looking around. But he didn't see the figure he was hoping for, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face. Uchiha Setsuna knew what Uchiha Sasuke was hoping for. But Uchiha Setsuna also knew that if nothing changed, a year from now, the person Uchiha Sasuke most hoped for would become the person he most hated.
Uchiha Setsuna and the others arrived at the entrance of the ninja academy. Most of the new students were brought by their parents. But there were also those like Uchiha Setsuna who came alone. A figure saw Uchiha Setsuna and his eyes lit up. Because he, like Uchiha Setsuna, was also alone.
Uchiha Setsuna noticed Naruto's gaze and nodded slightly at Naruto. Previously, when going to the Konoha market to buy ingredients, those strange looks fell on Uchiha Setsuna, reminding him of Naruto, and he felt a bit of sympathy for Naruto. Naruto's situation is somewhat similar to the Uchiha's. Both come from families or clans that made great contributions to Konoha. Now both are discriminated against by Konoha.
