Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!
Under the bright blood moon, a tiny figure stumbled and ran helplessly over piles of corpses.
"Don't kill me, Uchiha Itachi, ah!!"
Suddenly, he slipped and tripped over a severed arm lying on the roadside, falling into a pool of blood.
"No, stay still, hold me! Ah~"
Despair was descending.
Accompanied by the caw of crows, a tall, slender figure opened his blood-red eyes and quietly appeared before the child.
A pale flash of a blade cut through the air, and blood gushed from the severed neck.
That indifferent gaze, as if he wasn't killing a human, but an incredibly lowly animal.
The child's head fell to the ground, rolling a few times. Uchiha Kirin looked at his own tender and small back, wondering what he was thinking.
The blood-red moonlight illuminated the Uchiha Clan, where corpses lay everywhere, making it seem incredibly festive.
—Only because today, that man's younger brother finally welcomed the moment of his Sharingan awakening!
"Ding! 10 trial opportunities have been exhausted. Please make your choice."
"Bind the simulator immediately."
"Cancel! Never bind."
The scene before him gradually faded, and a translucent screen appeared before Uchiha Kirin.
Uchiha Kirin, originally named Qi Lin, transmigrated to the Ninja World three years ago, reborn into the body of a newborn Uchiha Clan orphan.
However, for the next three full years, he never awakened a system as described in novels, until tonight, when a thing calling itself a simulator suddenly appeared in his mind, giving him ten simulation opportunities.
In these ten simulations, he was always immersed in the beginning of the Uchiha Clan massacre.
At first, he held the thought that even Ninja were human, and even someone as strong as Senju Hashirama could be killed by a Kunai, attempting to counterattack Uchiha Itachi.
But death after death, despair after despair, mercilessly shattered this ridiculous idea. So Uchiha Kirin tried to escape, tried to beg for mercy, and even actively cut his throat to feign death…
Over and over again, time after time, yet he never escaped death.
"I thought I could achieve great things after transmigrating with Uchiha Bloodline, but now…"
Uchiha Kirin lowered his head, looking at his body, which was not even old enough to enter the Ninja Academy—
He was only three years old, damn it!
"Since things have come to this, I can only try to revive a dead horse as if it were alive!"
"System, I choose to bind!"
As soon as his voice fell, the voice that had previously appeared in his mind reappeared.
"Ding!"
"Holder confirms binding."
"Binding in progress…"
"Successfully bound."
"Transmigrator Management Bureau No. 9527 simulator is dedicated to serving you!"
"Uh, system, what do you, what do you do?"
Upon hearing the news of successful binding, Uchiha Kirin was momentarily lost in thought.
He had waited for this moment for too long, almost losing the ability to organize his thoughts. It was only after a long period of contemplation that he attempted to converse with the system.
"Ding! The task of this system is to assist the host in smoothly passing the novice period."
"Ding! The function of this system is to simulate events that will occur in the near future and provide corresponding rewards based on the host's actions in the simulation."
"Is the simulator like those systems in web novels that can draw heaven-defying attributes and then cheat in simulations? But, but how do I use it?"
Hearing the cold response in his mind, Uchiha Kirin finally confirmed that this was not an illusion, and his hope of survival was rekindled. He then quietly asked the question in his heart.
"Ding! This system currently only has the most basic simulation function and cannot draw attributes."
"Ding! The host only needs to call out the system panel in his mind to explore the system functions on his own."
"Explore on my own? Wait, what should I call you?"
"Ding! The host only needs to quietly call out 'Assistant' or 'System' in his mind."
It was late at night. Uchiha Kirin nodded, walked to the washbasin, wet his face with water, dried it with a towel, and repeated this several times to fully awaken his consciousness from his half-asleep state.
After confirming that the doors and windows were closed, he held a Kunai, sat upright, looked at himself in the mirror, and after calming his mind, finally called out the panel.
"Simulator"
"Holder: Uchiha Kirin"
"Strength: 5"
"Speed: 7"
"Stamina: 4"
"Spirit: 15"
(Normal adult attributes in the Ninja World are 10)
"Chakra: Not extracted"
"Attributes: Fire, Wind"
"Bloodline Limit: Sharingan (Not activated)"
"Combat Skills: Basic Hand-to-Hand Combat, Throwing Technique"
"Simulation Points: 1"
"Uh~ this is really concise and clear, even a bit crude. But for a three-year-old child, the attributes are surprisingly high. As expected of an Ōtsutsuki descendant~"
Looking at the translucent panel in front of him and observing himself through the mirror's reflection, Uchiha Kirin confirmed that only he could see this panel, and the stone in his heart gradually relaxed.
Recalling the tragic outcome in the previous trial simulations, since he could not survive under Uchiha Itachi's hand on the night of the Uchiha Clan massacre no matter what, what he most wanted to know now was the exact time of the massacre:
"Hopefully, there's still enough time…"
While pondering, Uchiha Kirin's consciousness lightly tapped on the number '1' after 'Simulation Points'.
An invisible ripple spread out.
Uchiha Kirin curiously looked around but found no change. However, at this moment, the previous attribute panel disappeared out of thin air.
In its place was a dialogue box, and soon, the first line of text appeared in the dialogue box.
Uchiha Kirin hurriedly stared at the text carefully, afraid of missing anything.
"Simulation Start"
"Midnight Twelve O'Clock"
You don't know how long it is until the Uchiha Clan massacre, but Shisui's death had already spread within the clan days ago. Familiar with the plot, you know that the massacre is not too far off.
After an internal struggle, you choose to knock on Grandma Yukina's door and reveal the information about Uchiha Itachi's betrayal to the only adult present, in the form of a premonitory dream.
"One AM"
Grandma Yukina, the director of the Uchiha Clan orphanage, comforted you, saying it was just a nightmare, and sent you back to bed to sleep.
"Two AM"
You lie in bed, unable to sleep, when you suddenly hear the sound of the old, dilapidated courtyard gate opening. You rush to the window to check and find that the hem of the clothes fluttering as the door closed was what Grandma Yukina was wearing tonight.
"Three AM"
Relieved that Grandma Yukina likely went out to deliver a message, you fall asleep peacefully.
...
...
...
"Ten AM"
You wake from your dream, feeling incredibly relaxed. Since the news of Uchiha Shisui's disappearance, you have never slept so comfortably.
"Eleven AM"
After washing up, as you prepare to eat breakfast, you remember that Grandma Yukina has already left.
Fortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened. You skillfully retrieve a few coins from under your bed, preparing to go out to the street to buy something to eat.
"Twelve PM (Noon)"
You finish lunch and are carrying packed food to share with the other children in the orphanage. On the way, you encounter Uchiha Okaban.
Uchiha Okaban is six years old and the leader of the children in this area. It is said that he is about to enter the Ninja Academy this year, and he possesses natural strength beyond ordinary people. At only six years old, he has already mastered Basic Hand-to-Hand Combat and can even defeat some scrawny Ninja Academy students. If nothing goes wrong, he will become an excellent Taijutsu Ninja in the future!
Uchiha Okaban angrily blocks your path because you defeated his younger brother, Uchiha Okamon, in a Ninja game yesterday afternoon.
