Chapter 24: Fire Flash, White Eyes.
Uchiha Settlement, Shimizu Family Residence.
Shimizu sat quietly on the chair, meditating while waiting for time to pass.
"About time," he murmured.
As soon as the words left his lips, a mechanical female voice echoed in his mind from the simulator.
[Current simulation count: 1. Do you wish to begin a Perfect Life Simulation?]
"Yes," Shimizu replied calmly.
At this point, the simulator had already reached the capability to simulate up to five years.
[Ding, initiating Perfect Life Simulation...]
[Day 1: Sarutobi Asuma invited you to a gathering. You noticed Kurenai Yuhi was also present, and you agreed to join.
During the gathering, Sarutobi Asuma subtly attempted to pry information out of you, but his clumsy methods were easily seen through. Later, Kurenai challenged you to a duel, and you emerged victorious.]
[Day 2: Sarutobi Hiruzen unexpectedly sought you out for a conversation. He acknowledged your embodiment of the Will of Fire and approved your request for early graduation. He assigned you two teammates: a spiky-haired boy and a chubby one.]
[Day 3: Hatake Kakashi, hearing of your early graduation, sought you out for a sparring match. You seized the opportunity to learn the Hatake Clan's swordsmanship, discovering it to be a form of nin-taijutsu involving the infusion of Lightning Release chakra into the blade.]
[Day 4: You met Orochimaru for the first time. His gaze left you feeling uneasy.]
[Day 5: Jiraiya returned to the village. You went to the hot springs and discovered Jiraiya attempting to peep. You anonymously reported him, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was coincidentally at the hot springs, immediately reprimanded him.]
[Day 6: You visited the Uchiha Hazuki household for a catch-up. Uchiha Hazuki made your favorite tempura.]
[Day 7: While training at home, you accidentally injured your hand. You healed it using the Mystical Palm Technique.]
[Day 24: As usual, you went to perform treatment for Uchiha Mikoto. This time, you suggested that massage could enhance the experience. After some hesitation, Mikoto, trusting your intentions, agreed.]
[Day 25: Passing by Uchiha Mikoto's house, you noticed her in high spirits, hanging out bedding in the yard. You vaguely overheard her murmuring "Shimizu... good..." but couldn't make out the details due to the distance.]
[Day 26: You encountered Uzumaki Kushina, who had a quarrel with Minato Namikaze. The reason was Minato's recent neglect of her, as he was focused on developing the Rasengan, which he was close to completing.]
[Day 27: A frustrated Kushina sought comfort from her close friend Uchiha Mikoto. Mikoto recommended your massage skills, calling them exceptional.]
[Day 28: Kushina sought you out for a massage. In the evening, Minato briefly visited Kushina, exchanged a few words, and left. You consoled Kushina afterward.]
[Day 29: The straightforward Kushina decided you were a good person and shared some of her worries with you.]
[Day 119: Two-year-old Uchiha Shisui wandered around the Uchiha settlement. You asked him what it meant to be part of a clan, but his eyes were filled with confusion.]
[Day 120: You embarked on a mission at the borders of the Land of Fire. You spotted a suspicious, voluptuous female ninja but successfully avoided her thanks to prior experience.]
[Day 121: Your team split up. After easily dealing with your enemies, you returned to the rendezvous point only to find your chubby teammate had died.]
[Day 122: You and your spiky-haired teammate carried his body back to the Hidden Leaf Village.]
[Day 160: Your team was relentlessly pursued by enemies who refused direct confrontation and instead resorted to sporadic ambushes. Lacking sufficient combat experience, you spent a great deal of time eliminating them all.]
[Day 161: Your spiky-haired teammate retired from the ninja world, saying it was too cruel. He decided to help his family with their business instead.]
[Day 162: Sarutobi Hiruzen assigned Kakashi to your team after he was ostracized by his former teammates, conveniently filling your need for a new teammate.]
[Day 163: You mastered 80% of the Hatake swordsmanship technique and pushed to perfect it by continuing sparring sessions with Kakashi.]
[Day 164: Your exceptional medical ninjutsu began attracting widespread attention, with many expressing a desire to join your team.]
[Day 165: Nohara Rin was about to graduate. You gave her some advice, and to stay on the same team as Kakashi, she agreed to your suggestions.]
[Day 166: Nohara Rin graduated. You petitioned Sarutobi Hiruzen to assign her to your team.]
[Day 167: Sarutobi Hiruzen approved your request. Nohara Rin finally joined Kakashi's team but felt conflicted due to your prior actions, which left her emotions in turmoil.]
[Day 372: You used medical ninjutsu to heal Kakashi.]
[Day 373: Your team encountered Obito's team. Obito eagerly attached himself to Rin, trying to chat with her.]
[Day 374: Kakashi and Obito's relationship improved. However, due to Rin's emotional confusion, she didn't form the same bond with Obito as in the original story.]
[Day 375: You successfully mastered the Hatake Clan's swordsmanship, significantly boosting your strength.]
[Day 376: Inspired by the Hatake swordsmanship and your accumulated experience, you successfully developed the Fire Body Flicker Technique.]
[Day 377: Mikoto treated you to a meal, expressing her gratitude for your consistent care of her health, which left her feeling revitalized.]
[Day 456: You brought out the darkness hidden in Natsu Hyuga's heart.]
[Day 1,825: During the Third Great Ninja War, a moment of carelessness caused you to lose an arm.]
[Simulation complete. Calculating results...]
[Choose one as a reward: Fire Body Flicker (with experiential memory), Byakugan, or Hatake Clan Swordsmanship Scroll x1.]
"Finally, some decent luck," Shimizu muttered, his eyes widening at the sight of the rewards.
After nearly two years of mediocrity, had fortune finally smiled upon him?
All three rewards presented significant potential for boosting his strength. Taking several deep breaths to calm himself, Shimizu began deliberating on his choice.
The Fire Body Flicker Technique, a move he had been longing to develop, would save him a year of research if chosen now.
However, when comparing it with the other two options, Shimizu decided to set the Fire Body Flicker aside for now.
What if his self-developed version turned out to be nothing more than a D-rank jutsu? That would be embarrassing.
"Byakugan or Hatake swordsmanship?" Shimizu murmured, deep in thought.
