READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 2: Simulation
When Shimizu just returned home, he heard a mechanical female voice in his ear, accompanied by a surge of information that appeared in his mind.
The information detailed the simulator and its basic usage.
Shimizu could simulate once within ten days.
The simulation would begin from the moment he started it, and it would project forward in time.
After each simulation, three random choices would appear, from which he could freely select an item in the simulator.
The items in the simulator were not fixed; anything he had encountered in the simulator could appear in the three choices.
In other words, Shimizu could even draw bloodlines!
The most important thing in the ninja world was the bloodline. If he drew the Sage Mode body of Hashirama, it would be like receiving an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan for free!
There would be no need to transplant the eyes of relatives to activate the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
In fact, it would be more legitimate than transplanting, since the Uchiha's ancestor, Indra, did not need to transplant. His bloodline was closer to the Ōtsutsuki clan.
The Uchiha bloodline had diluted over generations, which is why they had to transplant in order to break the side effects of the ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan and obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Shimizu was very satisfied with this. He had a cleanliness obsession and didn't feel comfortable using something that wasn't his own.
Each simulation was displayed in text on a translucent screen, and later, he could choose to simulate in person.
With a personal simulation, even if he died, there would be no loss. He would simply return to the moment the simulation started.
This was like having the ability to endlessly rewind the game, where no enemy's information could escape him.
However, these features were still far from his current ability. They would only be unlocked once his strength increased.
The remaining information was about the time limit of the simulation.
The stronger the power, the longer the time that could be simulated.
Also, based on the number of simulations used, the time limit would gradually increase.
As a low-ranked ninja, Shimizu could currently simulate up to three years.
After thinking for a moment, Shimizu decided that this time limit was sufficient.
It was now October in the 43rd year of Konoha, so three years would be the 46th year of Konoha.
The 46th year was just before the outbreak of the Third Great Ninja War, which would occur in 47. He could use this to see the signs of the war and whether his appearance would create a butterfly effect that could alter its occurrence.
[Current number of simulations: 1. Do you wish to start the Perfect Life Simulation?]
The simulator prompted again.
Shimizu stroked his chin, looking at the translucent text, and finally decided to try a simulation. After all, he could simulate once every ten days, and in a month, he could run several simulations, which would be enough.
"Start."
[Ding, Perfect Life Simulation in progress...]
[Day 1: You feel that your growth in strength is too slow and there is no hope of mastering your destiny in just a few years. You decide to defect from Konoha and establish a branch of the Uchiha clan in the Hidden Cloud Village.]
[Day 2: You pack your belongings, leave Konoha, hesitate for a moment in front of the ninja headband, and choose to cross out the symbol.]
[Day 3: You are traveling through the forest...]
[Day 26: You meet a member of the Uchiha clan, but quickly pretend to be a civilian and sneak away.]
[Day 92: You are caught by a Konoha pursuit team, badly wounded, but manage to escape.]
[Day 98: You arrive in the Hidden Cloud Village. After explaining your reasons, you are given temporary accommodation and placed under surveillance.]
[Day 99: Your background is confirmed after investigation, and you are warmly welcomed by the Raikage early in the morning. You are immediately assigned three wives, although your age...]
[Day 362: You have many offspring, created through a special medicine fed to you by medical ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village, which extracts cells and artificially creates offspring. You are happy to have expanded your family, but your potential is questioned because you have never shown your Sharingan. You are troubled because nothing seems to stimulate the awakening of your eyes; there is no one important to you.]
[Day 363: Your attempt to escape fails. The extreme martial faction in the Hidden Cloud Village demands that you take a secret medicine said to stimulate the awakening of your Sharingan. You know that without the Sharingan, you are useless to them. You search for the Raikage, but fail, and reluctantly take the medicine.]
[Day 364: You successfully awaken your Sharingan, but due to the effects of the secret medicine, your heart fails, and you die.]
[Simulation Ended, Calculating Results...]
[Please choose a reward: One Tomoe Sharingan, Hidden Cloud Village Secret Medicine, Ordinary Kunai]
Shimizu looked at the simulator's result and was silent for a while.
He also looked at the line about having many offspring, feeling somewhat speechless.
Indeed, some people in the Hidden Cloud Village seemed to have the nature of bandits, using such methods to extract his essence to quickly propagate their bloodline.
He estimated that even if he hadn't died from heart failure, he wouldn't have survived the side effects of forcibly extracting his cells. His current body was too young to withstand such strain.
If he remembered correctly, the Third Great Ninja War was instigated by the martial factions of each country, and the Hidden Cloud Village had many such factions.
This meant that the Third Great Ninja War didn't erupt suddenly but had been planned for a long time, with all forces waiting for the right moment.
Shimizu had intended to step in at this point; after the war, his treatment would likely be much better, and things wouldn't be as extreme.
The martial factions sought to expand their military strength by using inhumane methods. Shimizu was a victim of this in the simulation.
"Will everything that happens in the simulator change depending on the items I receive?"
Shimizu tried to communicate with the simulator, but it was like a lifeless object. After sending the information to his mind, it showed no other independent actions.
Seeing that communication wasn't possible, Shimizu gave up asking further questions.
After all, he could simulate again in ten days. With more simulations, he would eventually deduce the true situation.
"The current information I can gather is that the version of me in the simulator doesn't simulate anything."
Shimizu looked at the second day where he chose to run away and felt speechless.
His first simulation had awakened the Sharingan, and the future seemed bright. How could he have chosen to escape?
Only the version of him in the simulator would run away...
And even if he succeeded in running away, he would die a year later.
Then, Shimizu didn't hesitate and immediately chose the first reward.
The ordinary kunai was useless, as Uchiha already had plenty.
The Hidden Cloud Village secret medicine was also of no use unless he wanted to.
The simulator appeared to have three choices, but in fact, there was only one.
"I choose the One Tomoe Sharingan."
[One Tomoe Sharingan has been granted...]
With the mechanical female voice ringing out, Shimizu felt a surge of heat in his eyes.
When he closed and then reopened them, the world appeared clearer than ever.
His dark pupils had turned crimson, and a single tomoe rotated slowly around his iris.
Shimizu opened the door and walked into the yard.
The sky had grown dim, and the setting sun sank into the horizon, signaling the arrival of night.
There were many mosquitoes buzzing around, and Shimizu's gaze fell on them. He could feel that the mosquitoes seemed to be moving in slow motion, with each flap of their wings slowing down.
Slap.
A mosquito was pinned to the ground by a shuriken, its abdomen split in half by the sharp tip.
Shimizu lowered his hand, a smile appearing on his lips.
"This is the power of the Sharingan."
He could feel a new power residing in his eyes, a power known as "Eye Power."
Moreover, these eyes continuously sent chakra flowing through his body.
Actions that were once difficult for him to perform now came with increased speed and agility.
His chakra capacity also seemed to have broken through a bottleneck and was steadily increasing.
If Shimizu before awakening the Sharingan was just an average low-level ninja, then after awakening a One Tomoe Sharingan, he was already approaching the level of a strong lower-ranked ninja, and even becoming a Chūnin was no longer out of reach.
Breaking through personal limits and potential, at this moment, everything was changing.
If each simulation grants him items as smoothly as this one, he would grow at an extremely terrifying rate!
