Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Rating Up

"[System assessment of strength between both parties]"

"[In this simulation, the holder diligently improved his strength, fought to the death without retreating when facing powerful opponents, but ultimately could not escape the fate of death...]"

"[Overall result judged as a best effort match!]"

"[Reward settled!]"

"[The holder can choose two from the following three rewards]"

"[1] Simulation attempts +1"

"[2] Uchiha Throwing Technique (includes insights and muscle memory from practice in the simulation)"

"[3] 50 Exploding Tags."

Looking at these options, Uchiha Kirin couldn't help but sigh. It was listed as choosing two out of three, but in reality, it was choosing one out of two.

Because if he didn't choose the "simulation attempts +1" option, he would inevitably waste an hour of cooldown time. The Uchiha Clan massacre was less than a day away. Unless he found a way to survive, Uchiha Kirin couldn't give up this simulation reward, which had almost no cooldown time.

Although the rewarded Exploding Tags seemed numerous, they were useless against Kage-level powerhouses. Instead, the rewarded Uchiha Throwing Technique piqued his interest slightly.

"I choose Simulation +1 and Uchiha Throwing Technique."

Uchiha Kirin lightly touched the screen, and immediately, a comfortable, invisible wave swept over his body. Techniques and texts appeared in his mind, and at the same time, the muscles of his limbs and torso became more toned and explosive, as if he could launch deadly projectiles at any moment.

He threw a Kunai, followed by a Shuriken. The Shuriken hit the Kunai, and after the two collided, they indeed changed paths and simultaneously embedded themselves in the window sill.

Looking at the masterpiece before him, Uchiha Kirin smiled with satisfaction, then opened his panel to check his data:

"[Simulator]"

"[Holder: Uchiha Kirin]"

"[Strength: 5→6]"

"[Speed: 7→8]"

"[Stamina: 4]"

"[Spirit: 15]"

"[Chakra: Not refined]"

"[Attributes: Fire, Wind]"

"[Bloodline Limit: Sharingan (Not activated)]"

"[Combat Skills: Basic Hand-to-Hand Combat, Uchiha Throwing Technique]"

"[Simulation Points: 1]"

"So that's how it is. Synchronizing the Uchiha Throwing Technique practiced in the simulation not only improves the Uchiha Throwing Technique itself but also enhances my basic attributes!"

Looking at the strength and speed on the panel, each a point higher than before, Uchiha Kirin couldn't help but feel fortunate about this unexpected gain, and he even thought of a brand new escape plan!

Since he could synchronize the skills and strength gained from training in the simulation, and as long as he chose simulation points after each simulation, he could perform multiple simulations in a very short time. If he combined these two, could he rapidly increase his physical attributes to survive against Uchiha Itachi and Obito?

However, this method was not foolproof, because in the previous simulation, he had clearly refined Chakra and learned the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, but these options did not appear in the final rewards. Uchiha Kirin guessed this was due to having only three reward options, and the extra items were naturally cut out.

"How can I increase the options?" Uchiha Kirin scratched his head, then a sudden thought struck him, and he hastily called out: "Little assistant, System, can you hear me?"

"[Ding~ Holder, I'm here]"

"How can I increase the simulator reward options?"

"[Ding~ The holder only needs to strive to improve the simulation rating]"

"Rating?"

"[Ding~ Yes, the holder's last simulation rating was a best effort match]"

"[You only need to raise the rating to the next stage, a life-and-death match, to increase the number of rewards]"

"How do I raise the rating?"

"[Ding~ The rating is primarily determined by several important indicators: survival time, strength comparison between allies and enemies, in-match improvement, and kill count]"

"I see."

Uchiha Kirin scratched his head. He couldn't control survival time or the strength comparison between allies and enemies, but in-match improvement, which meant continuous training, was exactly what he was planning to do. As for kill count, the name Uchiha Okaban popped into his mind.

"In that case, Simulator, activate!"

"[Simulation starts]"

"[Midnight]"

You found Grandma Yukina and persuaded her to teach you Ninjutsu.

Grandma Yukina took out three scrolls, and you had already learned the Uchiha Throwing Technique from them.

"[1 AM]"

Your Uchiha Throwing Technique greatly surprised Grandma Yukina. She had never seen anyone able to comprehend so many techniques summarized by previous Uchiha Clan elders through self-practice alone.

Grandma Yukina didn't want to bury your talent and wanted to take you to the Great Elder for special training.

But you, being in a hurry, refused Grandma Yukina's kindness, citing the need to build a solid foundation first, and asked her to teach you Chakra Refining Technique and Great Fireball Technique instead.

"[2 AM]"

You began to learn Chakra Refining Technique and Great Fireball Technique.

Seeing your diligent practice and constant questioning, Grandma Yukina enthusiastically answered. But you didn't notice that Grandma Yukina was slightly disappointed in your talent.

Even with the mental strength of two lifetimes, the talent you displayed in learning could only be considered above average within the Uchiha Clan. Perhaps in time, you could become an Elite Jonin.

But this was far from the talent you showed when independently comprehending the Uchiha Throwing Technique.

"[3 AM]"

Watching you clumsily refine Chakra and just starting to learn hand signs, Grandma Yukina dispelled the idea of nurturing an Uchiha Clan genius, believing that you had secretly practiced Uchiha Throwing Technique outside just to amuse an old woman like her.

"[4 AM]"

After finishing breakfast early, you successfully refined your first wisp of Chakra from your body and continuously repeated this process to familiarize yourself with the steps of merging physical and spiritual energy.

"[5 AM]"

You successfully cast your first Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique in an open space.

Watching you spew out a fire ball the size of a washbasin, Grandma Yukina felt slightly relieved. At this rate, it would be a sure thing for you to become an Elite Jonin once you reached adulthood.

While this level of talent and strength might not be enough to revive the Uchiha Clan, it was more than enough to ensure the continuation of your branch of the family!

"[6 AM]"

You continuously repeated the process of refining Chakra and spitting out Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Initially, you could only spit out fire balls the size of a washbasin, but after prolonged practice, you could now use the same amount of Chakra to spew out fire balls twice as large as before.

At the same time, your speed of Chakra refinement also gradually increased. However, prolonged practice had already depleted your Chakra, and feeling physically weak, you had another breakfast under Grandma Yukina's supervision.

"[7 AM]"

Full and drained, as it was your first time refining Chakra, you couldn't adapt to the physical and mental fatigue and fell asleep on the bed...

"[11 AM]"

You woke up from bed. With your energy restored, you seemed to remember something, specifically taking out all the subsidies you had received over the years, stuffing a handful of Shuriken into your pocket, and heading outside.

"[Noon]"

After lunch, you wandered around the streets.

Before long, you saw Uchiha Okaban, the child king, leading a few of his subordinates, looking for trouble on the streets.

You grinned, deliberately pulled out two large denomination banknotes, pointed to a roadside barbecue stall, and ordered 100 skewers of grilled beef at once.

Your flamboyant actions successfully attracted Uchiha Okaban.

Seeing this, you licked your lips and walked towards him.
