My clan was exterminated when I was three years old, and you want me to beat Uchiha Itachi? Chapter 021

According to Hei Mao’s observations, besides the Root ninja you initially targeted with explosive tags, the ninja codenamed “Kawa” employed a flexible and protracted combat style, while “Take,” who used Lightning Release, preferred a more direct, speed-oriented approach.

As you drew your last breath, Hei Mao told you that it acknowledged you and that you could call it Boss Heimeow.

You smiled and told it that your last wish before dying was to see the ninja cat clan’s summoning contract scroll. Boss Heimeow slapped the ground with its paw, summoning a scroll. Just then, you suddenly experienced a burst of energy, using your last bit of strength to snatch the scroll.

You died amidst everyone’s bewildered gazes…

After your death, Boss Heimeow explained to the Uchiha ninjas about Itachi Uchiha’s betrayal and his attempt to exterminate the Uchiha clan in conjunction with Root, just as you had told it. In front of your lifeless body, this matter garnered absolute attention from the Uchiha…

Although the breakout still ended in failure, the Uchiha clan massacre merely expanded to encompass the entire village.

However, during this time, the Uchiha high command struck a deal with Danzo: several Uchiha children would have their memories erased and be handed over to Root for training. At the very least, the Uchiha clan’s bloodline was preserved…

[Simulation Ended]

[Calculating Rewards…]

[System Assessment of Both Sides’ Strength]

[In this simulation, the Holder skillfully used their dōjutsu, sacrificing themselves to severely injure three Chunin and establishing contact with the ninja cat clan, ultimately succeeding in preserving the Uchiha clan’s bloodline…]

[Overall result determined as a life-or-death situation!]

[Rewards have been settled!]

[The Holder can choose five out of the following seven rewards]

[ 1] Simulation attempts + 2

[ 2] Sharingan usage techniques improved (includes training and combat from the simulation)

[ 3] Endurance training results from the simulation

[ 4] Ninja cat clan’s summoning contract scroll

[ 5] A box of lighters

[ 6] A grilled fish

[ 7] Six rats killed by explosive tags

“As expected, items fully obtained in the simulation can be brought out!” Looking at the scroll among the rewards, Uchiha Kirin was delighted. Although there was a precedent of snatching the barrier ninja’s briefcase before, that item was useless except as a difficult-to-use bomb. However, the contract scroll’s utility was tangible.

One must know that the ninja cat clan’s contract wasn’t something anyone could easily obtain. Although the ninja cat clan had a cooperative relationship with the Uchiha, like Granny Cat who ran a ninja tool shop in the Uchiha compound,

A summoning contract, however, unless a ninja cat took a liking to someone, even a Jonin actively seeking out a ninja cat would basically be unable to sign a contract.

This was why Uchiha Kirin had never sought help from the ninja cat clan before. Unexpectedly, this time, fighting with rats inadvertently led him to connect with the ninja cats, which indeed had an element of luck.

Moreover, the ninja cat clan’s assistance in combat was absolutely significant. While the Uchiha had the Sharingan as a means of perception, their hearing and smell were no different from ordinary ninjas.

The presence of ninja cats perfectly compensated for this weakness, not to mention the ability for telepathic communication after signing a contract, plus the ninja cats’ extensive network of informants throughout the village, and their ability to conceal chakra—they were simply a perfect match for the Uchiha clan!

“I just don’t know if the summoning scroll obtained in the simulation will be useful in the real world! Who cares, I’ll take it first!”

Looking at the various rewards, Uchiha Kirin made a swift decision: “Choose items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a box of lighters and a forearm-length scroll appeared in Uchiha Kirin’s hand. At the same time, a warm current, just like before, began to transform his body: “Open the spoils system.”

[Detected death of this hunt’s target]

[Two spoils of the highest value will be extracted]

[ 1] 315 Strength attribute points

[ 2] Earth Release chakra

“Over 300 Strength attribute points, this must be Chunin-level strength!”

Seeing this enormous amount of Strength attribute points, Uchiha Kirin couldn’t help but gasp. One must know that merely gaining over a hundred Strength attribute points before allowed him to lift a wardrobe with his bare hands and carry a basket of large stones without a flushed face or heavy breathing. With over 300 Strength points, wouldn’t he directly achieve a superhuman physique?

“This is just a Chunin; I wonder what kind of monsters Jonin are!” Thinking of individuals like Might Guy who became Jonin purely through taijutsu, Uchiha Kirin couldn’t help but harbor greater aspirations for his own strength: “However, this way, the gap between strength and endurance will be even larger, making it increasingly difficult to control. I must find a way to improve endurance quickly!”

Uchiha Kirin curled up in the bathtub, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain of his bones growing with cracking sounds. He could feel his muscles constantly tearing and rebuilding, as if tempered a thousand times, while his bones continuously shattered and grew, becoming increasingly harder. The exhilaration of strength improvement mixed with physical pain brought him into a wonderful experience…

“Phew~ Is the growth finally complete?”

The pain gradually subsided. Uchiha Kirin stretched his robust yet not bulky body, looking at the slightly cramped bathtub below him, which was half-filled with liquid, an unknown amount of which was his freshly secreted sweat.

Unbeknownst to him, his height had also increased somewhat with the growth in strength.

“Endurance has improved significantly, and speed has also increased. As expected, strength control training had an effect on increasing endurance. But it’s still too slow!”

Uchiha Kirin scrutinized the data before him, feeling a bit dejected. After all, his simulation time was too short; even with maximum effort in training, the improvements were negligible.

If he could survive for a few months in the simulation, he would have ample time to train. By then, whether it was physical attributes or ninjutsu, he could acquire them as needed, no longer having to…

“However, according to the intelligence Boss Heimeow analyzed from the Root ninjas in the last simulation, the ninja who used lightning seemed to prefer winning with speed! And the ninja who chose to turn and flee preferred protracted combat, meaning his endurance should be his strong suit!” Uchiha Kirin scratched his head.

It seemed that if the hunting target were changed to that fleeing ninja, Uchiha Kirin would have a high chance of gaining a large amount of endurance attributes!
