The full-immersion simulation feature in the early access version had finally returned.

This meant Uchiha Kirin could now completely devote himself to simulations—and everything he learned during them could be brought back intact!

〖Ding! Please note: While using immersive simulation, the user will lose consciousness. Time in the real world continues to pass, so please make sure you are in a safe environment before activating it!〗

However—

"Real TNT simulation is way too damn expensive. No way I'm affording that!"

Uchiha Kirin stared at the base price of 10,000 points, with an additional 1,000-point fee for each subsequent year. Even at his current level, he could only simulate three years into the future.

Three years. What could you even do in three years?

Totally not worth it.

If you're going to spend valuable steel, you might as well sharpen your blade first. He decided to run a few more regular simulations to investigate the basics and stack up more Simulation Points while he was at it.

At the very least, he needed enough to simulate ten or twenty years before it would even start to be worthwhile.

Additionally, since immersive simulations made him unconscious, the only absolutely safe place for him would be the proto-divine realm connected via Kamui.

But with so few rules under his control, the proto-divine realm wasn't all that powerful yet. It would take time to accumulate strength and gradually evolve it into a more stable world before he could risk using immersive simulations again.

That said, even if immersive sim was off the table for now, the system had awarded him three new titles from his last simulation:

"Ghost of the Uchiha," "Golden Mask," and "Fatebreaker."

〖Ghost of the Uchiha〗

〖When the Uchiha clan's population drops below ten, all of the user's base stats are tripled! When only one remains, base stats are multiplied by five!〗

〖Golden Mask〗

〖After the user creates a faction, its profitability and secrecy significantly improve. The user's luck is directly tied to the faction's total wealth!〗

〖Fatebreaker〗

〖User is immune to prophecy and fate effects. Any damage dealt to targets with prophecy or fate attributes cannot be healed by any means!〗

Three titles, three boosts—each one showcasing a beautiful blend of numerical design and mechanical synergy.

If only these titles worked outside the simulation... he might've launched himself straight to the moon and started dancing in joy.

Open, open, open—install them all!

〖Ding! Simulation Points received: 1110〗

Uchiha Kirin instantly unlocked all three title slots and equipped every title.

Then, he activated Kamui to enter the proto-divine realm. A quick glance revealed nothing inside except for endless hellfire formed from the fully-mastered Rule of Fire.

So, he opened the system space and tossed in the Scythe of Death, plus the shattered fragments of the Yata Mirror and Totsuka Blade—two prototype Divine Tools that had been damaged beyond recognition.

He thought for a moment... and threw the Divine Tree Fruit in there too.

He watched quietly for a while.

As expected of the Divine Tree Fruit—even under this rule-based inferno, it remained completely untouched. Not even scorched.

"Let it roast for now. Once it's cooked, it'll probably taste better."

Uchiha Kirin stacked the Scroll of Seals and a large pile of scrolls detailing all kinds of ninjutsu and secret techniques off to the side.

Then, he looked up at the wall clock as it approached 3 PM—and began yet another simulation.

〖Simulation Start〗

〖Loot System target locked—Uchiha Sasuke〗

〖Time: 3 PM〗

You search your memory and realize that although you know how to cultivate the Divine Tree, you're not clear on how to consume its fruit.

Do you eat it raw? Cook it? Swallow it whole or chew it carefully? Once it's in your body, how do you refine its power? Will it tear you apart from the inside?

After all, this thing was grown by the Sage of Six Paths himself for his own rebirth. You have no idea if your body can withstand its power.

Still, the fruit is in your hands—you can eat it whenever. No rush.

Meanwhile, you've sent your mosquito clone to start harvesting bloodline powers. It won't be long before it captures Black Zetsu. You can interrogate him when the time comes.

For now, you decide it's better to go hunting for more Mangekyō Sharingan.

Your Cell Reconstruction Technique is already perfected, making it easy to absorb the powers of Mangekyō Sharingan. You may have enough dojutsu already—but when it comes to Ocular Power, the more, the better.

〖Time: 4 PM〗

You shift your consciousness into one of your ant clones. That self-replicating clone that collects organic matter has now grown to a swarm of ten.

You station one to guard the path that Uchiha Itachi must use to leave Root. The other nine return to the Uchiha district.

In an instant, over a hundred Root sealing-nin who had just set up a barrier to surround the Uchiha clan simply vanish into thin air—and you now possess several thousand ant clones.

Right then, Itachi walks out of Root.

Suddenly, he slips and falls—hard.

His lower back snaps on impact, and his Mangekyō Sharingan vanishes without a trace.

You toy with the two blood-red eyes in your hand, marveling at how fragile the human body is. One little accident, and a ninja is completely out of commission.

This is divine power—not because it looks impressive, but because it embodies the absolute superiority of a god over mortals!

〖Time: 5 PM〗

Uchiha Itachi is discovered by an ANBU patrol and rushed to Konoha Hospital for emergency treatment.

You switch your consciousness to the mosquito clone, which has now reached the Land of Water. You release your Magnet Release powers to scan the surrounding cave systems.

〖Time: 6 PM〗

News spreads in the Uchiha clan—Itachi was seriously injured after falling in the village. Fugaku gathers his entire family and the clan's moderate faction to visit him at the hospital.

Many Uchiha members express deep sorrow.

Sasuke, in particular, takes leave from school and insists on staying by his brother's side.

At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi is enraged and vows to investigate the foreign spy who infiltrated Konoha and stole Itachi's Sharingan.

You feel nothing.

Instead, you immerse your focus into the control of your clones. With no clear method to train your Spirit directly, you decide to experiment—maybe you'll figure out a new path through trial and error.

Granny Yukina knocks on your door, calling you to dinner.

You touch the horn on your head, shake your head, and create a wood clone with a normal appearance to take your place.

Meanwhile, your real body sinks into the earth. Your consciousness disperses into countless ant clones, driving them to burrow underground, hunt down hidden White Zetsus, and devour them as organic fuel for replication.

〖Time: 7 PM〗

Due to Uchiha Itachi's serious injuries, the planned Night of the Massacre is delayed.

On the other side, Obito encounters the most troublesome and tenacious enemy of his life—a single mosquito.

He thought it was just a normal insect and tried to passively phase through it using Kamui to avoid its bite.

However—

This mosquito launched relentless attacks for five whole minutes, giving Obito zero time to breathe or reset Kamui's cooldown.

Fine. Let it bite.

Obito decided to ignore the pest and activate Kamui, ready to teleport to Konoha and begin the massacre.

But at the exact moment he made that decision—

The mosquito's proboscis—harder than chakra-forged steel—easily pierced his flesh.

Obito's body went limp. Nearly all his chakra was drained in an instant, and his blood was completely sucked dry.

Even after he activated a backup Sharingan from Uchiha Madara's personal stock and cast the forbidden technique Izanagi...

It only delayed the inevitable.

While Izanagi was active, the mosquito followed him everywhere—interrupting his every action, carefully avoiding causing direct harm.

Soon enough, all that remained of Obito was a shriveled corpse, a mask, a black robe, and a single drop of purple Uchiha blood inside the mosquito's belly.

You set down the Scroll of Seals, use the mosquito to inscribe a Flying Thunder God marker onto Madara's leftover ninjutsu stash, and teleport Obito's Kamui Sharingan and the rewards directly into your hand, just like before…
