Chapter 3: Second Simulation, Instantly Mastering Ninjutsu

The Uchiha Clan, known as a cursed clan in the legends!

Why?

Because the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan, while powerful, can only be awakened and advanced through intense emotional pain!

But now? Uchiha Akira awakened his Sharingan just from falling off a tree?

This... This way of awakening the Sharingan seems way too trivial, doesn't it?

At least, in the history of the Uchiha Clan, such a thing has never happened before!

"Are you sure that it was just a fall that triggered the Sharingan? Nothing else happened?" After a moment of silence, Clan Leader Fugaku asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Clan Leader, according to our observations, Master Akira and Sasuke were just talking about going to buy something..."

The clan member explained the situation in detail.

The son of the clan leader and the grandson of the Great Elder.

Given the escalating tensions between the Uchiha Clan and the village of Konoha, it was only natural that some clan members were secretly keeping watch.

Upon hearing the specifics, Clan Leader Fugaku and the elders remained silent.

He hadn't even extracted chakra, and he could fall off a tree—this made him no different from an ordinary person.

But he managed to awaken the Sharingan?

…

"Dear grandson, are you okay?"

At home, Uchiha Akira was sitting quietly, while a girl of about fourteen or fifteen was using medical ninjutsu, emitting a soft green glow from her hands to treat his injuries.

Soon, his grandfather, Uchiha Tai, came rushing in!

"I'm fine, just fell from a tree. With Keiko's medical ninjutsu, I'll be good as new soon!" Uchiha Akira replied, looking at the old man who had just entered.

"Are you sure? I heard you awakened your Sharingan!"

After checking his leg injury, which had nearly healed under the care of his maid, Uchiha Keiko, Uchiha Tai asked curiously.

"I did awaken my Sharingan, but I'm really fine!" Uchiha Akira explained.

"Nothing else happened? Did you really just fall from a tree and awaken your Sharingan?"

After learning about the situation in detail, the old man was dumbfounded!

"That's how it seems... probably... I think..." Uchiha Akira answered ambiguously.

Regarding his golden finger (special ability), Uchiha Akira had no intention of telling anyone.

Since there was a misunderstanding, he might as well go along with it!

"Falling and awakening the Sharingan? This... this is incredible! My grandson is truly a super genius..."

Although it seemed unbelievable, the old man was more ecstatic than anything else.

"Dear grandson, now that you've awakened the Sharingan, you should have chakra as well, right? How about learning some ninjutsu?" The old man asked excitedly.

"Sure, I could learn some basic ninjutsu to practice!" Uchiha Akira eagerly agreed.

Then, the old man brought out the scrolls for the Three Basic Techniques (Bunshin no Jutsu, Henge no Jutsu, and Kawarimi no Jutsu), even personally teaching Uchiha Akira!

Although the old man poured his heart into teaching and even had Uchiha Akira activate his Sharingan to observe,

Despite his best efforts, Uchiha Akira spent half the day practicing the most basic Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique) without making any progress!

"Practicing ninjutsu isn't that simple. It's getting late; let's rest and continue tomorrow," the old man said as he noticed the sky darkening.

However, just as he reached the door, he paused and added, "By the way, there are only two weeks left until the Ninja Academy starts. Be sure to prepare yourself!"

"Got it!" Uchiha Akira nodded.

He had already known from the simulation that he would be starting at the Ninja Academy in two weeks.

"By the way, Grandpa, can I have some money?" Uchiha Akira asked just as the old man was about to leave.

"Money?" The old man looked at Uchiha Akira in surprise, clearly not expecting such a request.

But then, recalling that Uchiha Sasuke had received 200 ryō today,

Maybe his grandson wanted to keep up?

With that thought, the old man pulled out two 100 ryō bills: "Here, take these 200 ryō!"

After handing over the 200 ryō for pocket money, the old man left the room.

And what did Uchiha Akira do?

Holding the 200 ryō in his hand, he tried to communicate with the simulator to see if he could run another simulation.

However, the simulation failed!

After trying for half the night, the simulator still wouldn't let him proceed.

This puzzled Uchiha Akira.

Could it be that the money wasn't enough?

The first time only cost 100 ryō; why aren't 200 ryō enough for the second time?

With that thought, as it reached midnight and assuming that his grandfather had gone to bed, Uchiha Akira decided he would ask for a few more hundred ryō tomorrow. Then, he turned in for the night.

But as soon as he was ready to sleep, he found that the simulation was now available!

[You have 100 ryō. You can use 100 ryō to initiate a life simulation. Would you like to proceed? Yes/No]

The familiar prompt appeared before Uchiha Akira again!

What the heck!? Why did it suddenly start working?

And it's still 100 ryō? The price didn't increase?

Could it be... that it's based on time?

Because it's past midnight and now technically a new day?

So, does that mean I can only use the life simulator once a day?

Shaking off these random thoughts, Uchiha Akira chose "Yes"!

[Because you awakened the Sharingan just from a fall, you became famous within the Uchiha Clan!]

[Over the next two weeks, you occasionally tripped, nearly drowned, and even had a fire break out in your room while you were sleeping. You suspected that your grandfather was trying to see if he could trigger another evolution of your Sharingan, but you had no evidence!]

[Two weeks later, you enrolled in the Ninja Academy, feeling a bit mentally exhausted!]

[Three months later, your chakra reserves increased by 5%!]

[Six months later, you mastered the Cloak of Invisibility Technique!]

[Eight months later, you mastered the Transformation Technique!]

[Ten months later, you mastered the Clone Technique!]

[Twelve months later, your chakra reserves increased by 20%. On the night of the clan's massacre, you were killed!]

…

After the simulation ended, three options appeared once again.

One was to retain the knowledge, ninjutsu, and combat experience.

Another was to retain the increased chakra reserves.

The third was to retain the bloodline enhancements.

This time, Uchiha Akira chose to retain the ninjutsu and knowledge!

It was a strange feeling, like suddenly remembering something you had forgotten.

The systematic knowledge from the Ninja Academy, along with the basic techniques like the Cloak of Invisibility, Transformation Technique, and Clone Technique, were all now firmly in Uchiha Akira's grasp...
