"I didn't expect that I could actually trade my life to kill Obito with my current strength... But the cost was immense—future sight, mental manipulation—it's not something I could easily replicate."
As the simulation came to an end, Uchiha Kirin wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Then, he carefully examined the rewards he had obtained:
He only had 3 Simulation Points left, but the 10-point reward from this round was something he could absolutely splurge on. He had to keep it.
Even though, for some unknown reason, he hadn't awakened a higher form of the Sharingan after witnessing his loved ones brutally slaughtered in the simulation, his ocular power had clearly received a massive boost. The Sharingan was the Uchiha clan's lifeblood—there was no way he could pass it up.
The Basic Sealing Technique was also extremely important. It meant he could now seal unique Kekkei Genkai like the Sharingan in the real world.
As for the Uchiha Setsuna's Manuscript and the Mangekyō Sharingan Transplantation Technique—these were items entrusted to him by Uchiha Setsuna at the last moment, and directly related to the awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Kirin valued these two scrolls greatly.
Then there were Sealing Jutsu: Fire Seal and Transcription Seal, both capable of sealing Amaterasu's black flames. If he could bring Amaterasu into a simulation, Uchiha Kirin's combat power would instantly skyrocket past the level of a Jōnin!
To have a powerful offensive jutsu at his disposal instead of being in the same situation as the last simulation—where his attacks lacked power and he had to rely solely on the Great Fireball Technique in risky trade-offs!
"And there's also White Zetsu's flesh, combat experience, and that rare sealing knowledge from the Uzumaki clan…" Killing Obito in this simulation didn't just earn him a god-tier rating, it also unlocked a whole host of hard-to-choose options.
Uchiha Kirin scratched his head before making his final decision.
"Combat experience is good, but I can refine that in the next simulation.
As for the Transcription Seal, while convenient, I'm not skilled enough with it yet. And I've already got Sealing Jutsu: Fire Seal as a substitute.
Lastly, the Uzumaki sealing technique basics—although precious, I can buy them from the Ninja Cat Clan anytime thanks to the simulation. They only cost 0.5 of an Asuma…"
"System, I've made my choice. Store all item-type rewards into the System Inventory!"
...
As soon as the command was issued, a surge of overwhelming ocular power poured into Kirin's brain, eyes, and mental world. His spinning Sharingan rapidly absorbed the power, while the fury and resentment contained within that force burst into his consciousness, attempting to completely shatter his calm inner world.
The knowledge and insight related to sealing techniques mixed into this influx of energy as well, causing both his [Spirit] and ocular power to rise in tandem...
Though not much time had passed in the outside world, inside his spiritual realm it felt like years. Only after completely subduing the rampaging mental force and converting it into growth did Kirin return to reality, with his Sharingan gradually adapting to the surge in ocular power.
"Turns out that bloodline meditation technique is pretty useful."
Glancing at the clock on the wall, Uchiha Kirin felt thankful that he'd memorized the bloodline meditation technique. While receiving the Sharingan's ocular power, he had instinctively activated the method in his pain.
Not only did it help him suppress the agony, but it also revealed a way to merge Spirit and ocular power to enhance his overall strength, allowing him to rapidly absorb the simulation's rewards.
And the improvement to his Sharingan seemed to have triggered balanced growth in his physical attributes as well.
He now felt energetic, with strength coursing through his body. It felt like he could go days without sleep.
"System, display and claim the loot from this hunt!"

(Reminder: Rewards from killing the same target multiple times will be reduced.)
"What the hell, man? You're a Lightning Release user, right? Why the hell were you learning so many A-Rank sealing techniques? What happened to your Lightning affinity?!"
Seeing a sealing technique pop up again, Kirin smacked his desk in frustration. Clearly, if he wanted to gather basic attribute points, hunting low-tier targets with fewer jutsu was more reliable. Once a target had advanced jutsu, most of the loot turned out to be ninjutsu instead of attribute boosts.
"Whatever~ I'll take it!"
As a tingling numbness spread through his nervous system, Kirin flexed his arm muscles and bounced lightly off the ground. Sure enough, his reaction speed and agility had entered a whole new level, and he even felt light enough to fly.
The Barrier Technique – Sixty-Four Layer Seal was the same barrier Root used to seal the Uchiha clan.
It was essentially a weakened version of the Four Red Yang Formation, requiring 64 elite shinobi with Jōnin-level strength to activate. Alternatively, three Chūnin who specialized in sealing techniques could be used to replace one Jōnin.
Once formed, the barrier took on a faint red hue and could block all sensory input from within. Its defense was strong enough to withstand a single Tailed Beast Bomb, making it capable of temporarily trapping even a tailed beast!
This technique had been developed by Danzo's faction after the Nine-Tails' attack, specifically to guard against the Uchiha clan…
Although its defense was impressive, it required pre-inscribed sealing scrolls and extensive training with a large number of personnel.
"Well, Konoha is filthy rich. Mobilizing a thousand trained Chūnin just to wipe out the Uchiha? Root could afford that."
Still, after acquiring the Sixty-Four Layer Seal, Uchiha Kirin noticed its principles were nearly identical to regular sealing techniques. As Uchiha Setsuna once said—barriers, seals, and curse marks all share the same origin. At their core, they're all sealing scripts.
Unfortunately, this technique required far too many shinobi. Even with Shadow Clones, his current chakra reserves couldn't handle it. Otherwise, Kirin would've dropped this thing directly on the Hokage Tower or the Sarutobi clan compound.
