The power of annihilation continued to spread.

Even the God Tree Fruit you held close was powerless to resist. Despite the immense energy it contained, it was still just a fruit. Without consciousness of its own, it could only be erased along with everything else.

"Stop!"

The Sage of Six Paths shouted in fury, forcibly tearing through the barrier between the Pure Land and the living world. With a single swing of his staff, he knocked the Slug Sage flying and lunged toward the remaining part of the fruit that had not yet been destroyed.

But he was still too late.

You sacrificed your own blood and body to activate the Rule of Nothingness—causing the rules themselves to collapse. This force swallowed the fruit and half of the Shinobi World into oblivion.

Even the power of the Six Paths could not turn the tide...

The souls of Indra and Asura were completely devoured by the fruit, leaving not even the possibility of reincarnation. Such is the tyrannical, ruthless power of the God Tree!

This also meant that, even with a thousand-year plan, the Sage of Six Paths would forever lose the chance to reclaim the power of the Taiji and ascend to the next level!

Suddenly, the Sage of Six Paths seemed to remember something and hurried back to the Pure Land.

Though you had detonated your authority, your physical body still retained a considerable amount of Otsutsuki power.

If used properly, it could serve as the foundation to rebuild a new body.

And once his body was reforged, the Sage of Six Paths could return to the real world. At that point, with his current strength, he could dominate the entire Shinobi World, and using the abundant resources of the living realm, he could even forge new Rule powers of his own!

Just as the Sage of Six Paths was about to touch your body—

A mysterious force appeared without warning.

All of your remaining essence was instantly converted into a torrent of data.

The data stream easily pierced through the Pure Land's barrier and began retreating in an unknown direction into the void.

During the retreat, the last trace of consciousness lingering within your body glimpsed a massive illusory image—one that enveloped the entire star system in which the Shinobi World resided.

It was the Sage of Six Paths, stretching out a massive hand, attempting to seize you.

You died...

〖Simulation Ended〗

〖Reward Calculation in Progress…〗

...

〖In this simulation, the user demonstrated foresight and flawless execution, showed no mercy to enemies, and wiped out all who threatened their clan.

They upheld strength as supreme, delved deeply into secret arts, collected Kekkei Genkai, rooted themselves in the Land of Waves, and founded an organization to covertly control the Shinobi World—paving their path forward atop the bones of a million corpses.

They allied with the Akatsuki, gathered the Tailed Beasts, lured and killed the black-hand orchestrators of the massacre, encountered dark gods, unearthed hidden truths, and embarked on the path to godhood.

They mastered technology, forged a new path, broke through their limits, comprehended Rule power, and cultivated the Dragon Vein—ascending to demigodhood.

Alas, they could not overcome a thousand years of preparation. All their plans fell within another's grasp, and they could never escape that control.

Yet, in the face of overwhelming power, they did not yield.

They tempered themselves with Six Paths killing moves, reawakened their eyes at a critical moment, and ascended their authority to become a true god.

With clever manipulation of the Rule, they deceived the Sage of Six Paths and stole the fruit—leaving him empty-handed in the end...〗

On the interface, fifteen blank slots appeared in a single row before Uchiha Kirin.

"This time it's actually a self-selected reward—and a full fifteen options! That's double the usual 'pick seven out of ten' format. Plus, the simulation count no longer takes up reward slots!"

Spending so much time in the simulation really paid off, though it also consumed a good chunk of real-world time.

Uchiha Kirin looked up at the wall clock. It was already past 1 PM.

Less than an hour remained before Root would arrive to set up the barrier—only four or five hours until the Night of the Massacre.

With his current strength, even without claiming the rewards, killing Uchiha Itachi and Obito would be as easy.

But now that he knew the Sage of Six Paths had been secretly observing the entire Shinobi World…

He no longer dared to act too rashly.

"No point overthinking it. Time to choose the rewards!"

Uchiha Kirin's first choice was obvious:

Naturally, it was the "God Tree Fruit"—the one that embodied the Sage of Six Paths' thousand-year scheme, condensed the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, fused yin-yang power, the collective wishes of all beings, and the Dragon Vein.

Consuming it could reshape his aptitude, rebuild his body, and even determine his qualification to ascend as a true god.

Second was the "Tenseigan" awakened through the cycle of Six Paths reincarnation—an ocular power on par with the Rinnegan.

Next, Uchiha Kirin selected the "Infinite Mangekyō Sharingan"—a fusion of many Mangekyō Sharingan, containing a variety of ocular techniques.

Then came his "self-synthesized Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta," which included his mastery over Nature Affinities, as well as the "Otsutsuki bloodline" devoured and synthesized through his ocular power.

And to match the Otsutsuki bloodline, he also chose the comparable "Dragon Bloodline."

These were all foundational enhancements to his body—Uchiha Kirin wouldn't miss any of them.

Beyond that came the various Rule powers, secret arts, and Sage techniques—essentials for his future path:

Among them, the "True God Divinity," created by fusing the Fire Rule, Sage Arts, and Chakra Beads, was undeniably the most powerful.

But Uchiha Kirin chose not to take it.

Because this was clearly a trap—it would lock his growth path. Even then, it wouldn't elevate him enough to catch the eye of the Sage of Six Paths!

So unless he discovered a way to hold multiple authorities at once—or a way to upgrade a single Rule authority—

Uchiha Kirin would never make Divine Authority his first pick.

After all, he could always choose a Rule power…

Then bring it into the simulation, refine it a bit, and gain Divine Authority that way.

That approach would avoid the issue of having his real-world power growth capped, while still letting him cash in strength within simulations when needed.

So for Rules, Uchiha Kirin selected all of the following: "Fire Rule," "Death Rule," and "Void Rule."

He also picked up "Ryūchi Cave Sage Arts," his own original technique "Cell Reconstitution," and, of course, his cultivated understanding of "Sealing Techniques."

Thanks to Kamui being part of his Mangekyō Sharingan, techniques like "Flying Thunder God" were optional.

And things like "Dustless Bewildering Cover" and "Light-Weight Rock Technique"—secret Earth Release jutsu—could be skipped, as Void Rule, the Tenseigan, and Magnet Release served as superior replacements.

"Wait a second."

At this thought, Uchiha Kirin paused.

He was overcomplicating it—at this rate, he'd need to count through a mountain of items.

Why not just pick the "Scroll of Seals" and relearn the techniques over time?

This also gave him an idea—maybe in future simulations, he could compile all the ninjutsu and knowledge he needed into books.

That way, unless a jutsu required extreme time investment or rare materials, he could just bring it out as a scroll or textbook!
