Shiro, having left the classroom, found a quiet and secluded spot.
"System, begin the simulation."
[...Before starting the simulation, the system has a small question—life simulation does not interfere with the host attending classes, so why did you run away?]
"Oh, I feel like the atmosphere in class would have a huge negative impact on my luck."
"Did you finish asking? If you're done, just start the simulation."
[...The system is extracting random talents, please wait.]
[Talent extraction complete, please select.]
Two purple, two blue, and one green—fairly good.
Following the usual process, Shiro immediately dismissed the green and white talents and focused on the remaining four options.
[Impulsive Person (Purple): You will possess an exceptional talent for physical arts. If something can be solved with fists, why bother using your brain? Your life will either be spent fighting or on the way to fighting.]
[Berserker (Purple): Born for battle, die in battle! Anything that cannot kill me will make me stronger! With each battle you engage in, your strength will increase, but your sanity will gradually decline. (The more battles you participate in, the more your sanity will degrade, choose wisely!)]
[Life's Last Hope (Blue): As long as the enemy does not directly kill you, even if you have only a single breath left, you can be rescued.]
[Tracking the Enemy (Blue): No matter where your enemy goes, even to the ends of the earth, you will find them.]
Although all four talents fit Shiro's goal of improving his physical abilities, after reviewing them, he had only one thought.
Did I just pull the African Head-topper Talent Pack?!
The "Impulsive Person" talent had appeared before. It enhances physical arts, and it would greatly improve his physical prowess during the simulation. This one is a must-pick.
The "Berserker" talent allows him to grow stronger through constant battles, though he will lose his mind in the later stages. Despite the downside, the benefits outweighed the flaws, so it had to be chosen as well.
Now, only "Life's Last Hope" and "Tracking the Enemy" remained.
After some thought, Shiro decisively chose "Life's Last Hope."
After all, he was playing as a warrior, not an assassin. If enemies are killed on the spot, what's the point of tracking them?
Besides, with the first two purple talents being so powerful, Shiro suspected that if he didn't have a strong life force, he might die young anyway...
"I choose Impulsive Person, Berserker, and Life's Last Hope."
[Talents selected, preparing simulation, please wait...]
[Simulation begins.]
[You were born in Sunagakure, the grandson of the elder Chiyo. You have a twin brother—Sasori.]
"Eh? Wait, wasn't the system supposed to start in Konoha this time?"
[Please note, this system is a ninja world life simulator, meaning you could appear anywhere in the ninja world.]
[By the way, you were born beside the Sage of Six Paths during your first simulation, remember that?]
[Simulation continues.]
[Your parents loved you dearly. With their care, you grew up strong.]
[At the age of five, your parents tragically died during a battle with Konoha's "Konoha's White Fang" Sakumo Hatake. Both perished.]
[You and Sasori were taken in by Chiyo.]
[In order to care for your brother, you quickly pulled yourself out of the shadow of your parents' death, but Sasori remained deep in sorrow.]
[Chiyo noticed that Sasori was still immersed in grief and began teaching him puppetry to help him overcome his sadness.]
[At the same time, Chiyo noticed your extraordinary talent for physical arts and began teaching you martial arts.]
[Chiyo wasn't wrong—you're truly a martial arts genius. Your strength grew rapidly, and you became more powerful every day.]
[At the age of six, after just a year of training, you were already unrivaled among all the children of Sunagakure. You could even match children two years older than you.]
[At the age of eight, having made some progress in physical arts, you started developing a strong desire for battle. The thrill of combat became addictive, and you began seeking out opponents to challenge every day.]
[Your strength skyrocketed through countless battles.]
[The ninjas of Sunagakure gave you a nickname—"Battle Maniac."]
[It was also in this year that your brother Sasori made his first creation—a human puppet made from the bodies of your parents.]
[Upon seeing Sasori desecrate your parents' bodies, you were filled with rage and struck him for the first time.]
[You planned to rebury your parents' remains.]
[However, when you saw the faint longing for paternal and maternal love hidden in Sasori's vacant eyes, you softened.]
[Perhaps, letting your parents stay by Sasori's side in this way wasn't such a bad idea.]
[You thought this to yourself, but you failed to realize that Sasori's eyes also held a deep disappointment toward those two puppets.]
[At the age of ten, you graduated early from Sunagakure's ninja school and became a Genin, starting to take on missions in the village.]
[The time you spent with Sasori decreased, but your love for him never diminished.]
[At the age of twelve, you officially became a Chuunin, and the tasks you were given became more difficult, often taking you out of the village.]
[You spent less and less time with Sasori. You felt guilty, but Sasori never complained.]
[During a mission, you learned that Sasori had won first place in a puppet master competition, and you were filled with pride.]
[At the age of fifteen, you were severely injured during a mission and returned to the village to recover, no longer needing to go on missions for a while.]
[After recovering, you spent most of your time either with Sasori or challenging stronger ninjas within Sunagakure.]
[The name "Battle Maniac Shiro" echoed throughout the village once again.]
[Your strength rapidly grew, approaching the level of an Elite Jounin.]
[At the age of sixteen, you successfully became a Jounin and joined Sunagakure's Anbu, continuing your missions.]
[At the age of nineteen, you returned to the village after three years away and made it a priority to visit your brother Sasori.]
[Sasori greeted you with an unusual calmness, even indifference.]
[You noticed that Sasori had become somewhat distant, as if an invisible wall had formed between the two of you.]
[At the age of twenty, you encountered the same enemy as your parents—the "Konoha White Fang," Sakumo Hatake, during a mission.]
[Facing your enemy, you didn't retreat but charged directly into battle!]
