[Simulation Target: Haruno Sakura]
[Initial Relationship: You like each other.]
Seeing the simulation count of 40 times, Ryun felt a surge of security in his heart.
However, he also understood that although 40 simulation attempts seemed like many, the number of attempts consumed per simulation was now also very high for Ryun.
Moreover, this was the result of Ryun being very frugal; in the future, he would need to obtain even richer returns from several girls.
For now, this could be considered an advance investment.
Ryun input the guidance, and the simulation officially began.
[Your confession of love to the four girls gradually spread throughout Konoha. But different from what you expected, most people didn't react much to it, simply treating it as a youthful romantic comedy.]
[Some young ninjas from the Hyūga Clan did think about challenging you, but they were blocked by Hiashi's statement that harming civilians was not allowed, and Hinata's words: "If anyone wants to hurt Ryun-kun, they'll have to get through me first."]
[Even Inoichi just reminded his daughter to keep her eyes open, and then Ino told Inoichi that you had passed her mind-reading test, leaving Inoichi with nothing more to say.]
Seeing this, Ryun completely relaxed.
This meant he wouldn't have to deal with these girls' parents for the time being.
Although Ryun was confident he could slowly persuade them, this kind of thing was always too troublesome.
With young girls, just being in love was enough; meeting the parents meant having to consider income, housing, and future family plans.
Every so often, Ryun's strength and circumstances underwent considerable changes, making it impossible for him to give absolutely stable promises!
[Hiruzen sent your old acquaintance, Uzuki Yūgao, to protect you, while also relieving her of her ANBU duties. Since you wanted to start a big family, Hiruzen felt Yūgao still had a certain degree of competitiveness.]
[If you couldn't refuse Yūgao, then he would have one more degree of control over you. If you rejected Yūgao, then sending her was still a gesture of goodwill towards you, while also preventing Danzo from acting recklessly again.]
Seeing this, Ryun couldn't help but shake his head.
Ryun wasn't surprised that Hiruzen did this.
It was just arranging the marriage matters of a subordinate ninja. In Hiruzen's way of thinking, he probably thought Yūgao should thank him.
But this was quite unfair to Yūgao, especially since Gekkō Hayate wasn't dead yet.
However, this wasn't something Ryun needed to worry about. This simulation, Ryun only cared about two things.
One was to safely reach the end with Sakura and leave behind offspring, and the second was to research new medical ninjutsu subjects.
[As Ino, Sakura, and Hinata joined their respective teams and started taking on missions, it became difficult for them to come to your house every day.]
[This resulted in, including Tenten, the four girls appearing randomly at your house every day, which ensured enough freshness in your relationship with them.]
[You slowly cultivated feelings with them, spending most of your time continuing to focus on physical training, and in your spare time, writing "The Tale of the First Hokage". As for the original Tea Lecture Hall, you no longer operated it, which made many people feel regret.]
Unable to obtain simulation attempts within the simulation, there was naturally no need to continue operating the Tea Lecture Hall.
In the past, Ryun only did this to verify the possibility of that series of operations.
[When the night grew quiet, you began researching your medical ninjutsu, and your goal was to thoroughly develop the technique that uses Yang Release chakra to nourish the human body. To this end, you listed many hypotheses, and for the next period, you would slowly test these hypotheses, measured in years.]
[Time passed day by day like this, and the Chūnin Exams arrived. Thanks to the foundation you had built for Tenten and the others, just as you predicted, they all advanced to the finals. The Konoha Crush Plan arrived as scheduled. With Rasa and Orochimaru joining forces, plus Kimimaro hiding in the shadows, Konoha fell into a massive crisis.]
Seeing this, Ryun perked up.
To help Konoha smoothly survive the crisis, he would still intervene this time, but he would use a different approach with less influence.
Next, he would see if Ryun's plan could be successfully implemented.
[Using your sensory ability, you locked onto Kimimaro in advance and then threw him into Danzo's Root. Danzo and Kimimaro began a great battle, both sides fighting until they were mutually wounded. Danzo used up Shisui's Mangekyō and five Izanagi uses, while Kimimaro exhausted his life force and died in his Cursed Seal Level 2 state.]
Seeing this, Ryun was slightly stunned. Had Kimimaro caused Danzo that much trouble?
He had thought Kimimaro would quickly be defeated by Shisui's Mangekyō. What exactly happened?
Then, the simulation answered Ryun's doubt:
[Although Danzo used Shisui's Mangekyō to control Kimimaro, he led his team to attack Kimimaro without understanding him. Kimimaro, having activated Cursed Seal Level 2, was very difficult to kill. Ultimately, Kimimaro lasted through the effective period of Shisui's Mangekyō, subsequently inflicting massive casualties on the Root members.]
Indeed, battles between ninjas are ultimately battles of information. Even someone with as many survival abilities as Danzo had to abide by this rule.
In the future, Ryun needed to protect his own information as much as possible; otherwise, if he got sniped and thrown into Kamui's space by that one-eyed Obito, Ryun would have no place to cry.
[The moment Danzo's vigilance relaxed, you made your move, sending him and the remaining Root members to the sparsely populated Land of Whirlpools. There, you slowly wore them down until they died. Before he died, Danzo asked who you were. You took off your mask, revealing the face of the transformed Impure World Reincarnated Minato, and kindly answered his doubt.]
Seeing this, a slight smile tugged at the corner of Ryun's mouth.
It seemed that with a lifetime of cultivation experience from his previous life, Ryun's Flying Thunder God Technique was finally becoming somewhat decent.
However, using this technique still needed refinement; he estimated it would only reach its maximum potential when Ryun's comprehensive stats were maxed out.
[After killing Danzo, you burned the group to ashes with Fire Release, and even scattered the ashes into the sea water to ensure no one could revive that troublesome guy, Danzo. After doing this, you returned to Konoha; the Konoha Crush Plan was also basically over.]
[Because your actions stopped Kimimaro, only Rosa from Sunagakure was able to display great power, and he was soon defeated by Gai. The final outcome of the war wasn't much different from what you remembered, except that Konoha chose to imprison Rasa for a long time to ensure the Village Hidden in the Sand wouldn't rebel again.]
Seeing this, Ryun was slightly stunned.
In the previous simulation, he hadn't considered how to deal with Rasa, because he had displayed great power. Facing Ryun, who could use the Flying Thunder God, Rasa clearly posed no threat.
But this time, if Ryun hid his identity, how Konoha handled Rasa became very delicate.
Releasing him was impossible. What if Rasa went back, regrouped, and launched another attack?
Killing him was also impossible, because it would make Sunagakure and Konoha mortal enemies.
Perhaps Konoha wouldn't even survive until the Ninja World War, facing a joint siege from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure instead.
Most critically, with Hiruzen and Danzo both dead now, Konoha simply had no one capable of handling this problem.
Thinking this, Ryun considered using guidance. But he still relaxed, wanting to use this opportunity to see if Tsunade's political wisdom could handle this issue properly.
[After the situation in Konoha stabilized, Jiraiya took Naruto to Tanzaku Town to find Tsunade. Tsunade returned, succeeded as the Fifth Hokage, and then she came to you, asking if it was you who killed Danzo.]
Ryun was surprised. Could he really be discovered like this?
Ryun certainly hadn't killed all the Konoha witnesses, but he was confident he hadn't revealed his identity. Even Danzo hadn't recognized him, so how did Tsunade find out?
Then, Tsunade gave Ryun an unexpected answer.
[She told you that Jiraiya believed you had the talent to master the Flying Thunder God, and might have even mastered it long ago. You could choose not to answer this question, but she would have Inoichi read your memories. Once it was confirmed that you killed a Konoha elder, you would become a major criminal in Konoha.]
Seeing this, Ryun frowned deeply.
The night he first used the Flying Thunder God to leave Konoha, he had indeed coincidentally encountered Jiraiya.
At that time, Ryun had used the Transformation Technique; theoretically, Jiraiya shouldn't have recognized him. Unless... the changes in Ryun himself had attracted Jiraiya's covert observation?
This was the downside of exposing one's strength and talent; unlike at the very beginning, he couldn't just do nothing and easily coast until the final conclusion.
Ryun took a deep breath and chose guidance.
Since his identity was exposed, he needed to extract enough benefits from Tsunade next.
Coincidentally, this time he was researching medical ninjutsu, so he could also bring Tsunade into it.
