Konoha Village… Isn't it supposed to be skilled in internal strife but weak in external conflicts? Uchiha Akira mused to himself.
Isn't the Hidden Cloud Village known for its boldness? And they always seem to make Konoha back down!
For instance, they dared to kidnap the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, and Konoha didn't even dare to retaliate!
They even attempted to abduct Hinata Hyūga, and instead of fighting back, Konoha appeased the Cloud Village by offering Hizashi Hyūga's life!
So, what if I could involve the Cloud Village in this situation?
Initially, I wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to control the Third Hokage, Danzo, or Obito to change the tragic fate of the Uchiha clan.
But after running the simulation, I realized that wouldn't work.
So, I need to think outside the box and come up with another plan.
What if I directly used Kotoamatsukami to control the Fourth Raikage, that brute?
That might work!
Of course, this isn't something I can just decide to do on a whim.
This is a matter of life and death for the entire Uchiha clan. I need to carefully simulate the scenario first to see if it would work.
However, now that I'm at the Jonin level, each simulation costs 100,000 ryō!
Trying to earn money through missions? That's not really feasible right now.
After all, missions that offer more than 100,000 ryō are at least B-rank!
Going out of the village to fight other ninjas would take too much time.
With Shisui-sensei already gone, the Night of the Uchiha Massacre is looming ever closer!
After thinking it over, Akira decided to ask his grandfather how much money he had saved up.
Even though it feels a bit like mooching off my family, with the Massacre approaching, money won't do any good just sitting around!
With this thought, Uchiha Akira approached his grandfather and explained why he needed the money.
"Well, alright," his grandfather agreed, nodding.
He knew that his grandson had been feeling down lately.
If spending some money could improve his mood, the old man thought it was worth it.
He turned around and took out 50,000 ryō.
"Grandfather, I need a lot of money, as much as possible. Ten thousand ryō, hundreds of thousands, even millions would be best!" Akira said seriously, looking his grandfather in the eye.
"What? That much!?" His grandfather was shocked. Although Akira was already a Jonin, he was still just a six-year-old child!
At that age, most parents give their kids an allowance of a few hundred ryō at most.
But he was asking for hundreds of thousands?
"It's important!" Akira insisted, his serious gaze never wavering.
Seeing his grandson's determination, the old man knew it must be something truly important.
"Well, just a few days ago, Clan Leader Fugaku entrusted me with Shisui's inheritance, which includes a deposit of two million ryō!"
"I was planning to save it for you since you're still young, but if you need it now, I'll give it all to you!"
"Besides, I have another 1.2 million ryō saved up…"
Akira was touched.
Just because he insisted, his grandfather was willing to hand over his entire life savings.
And Shisui-sensei's two million ryō inheritance was entrusted to him by Fugaku and held by his grandfather?
Thinking it over, according to the Uchiha clan's rules, a deceased member's inheritance naturally goes to their next of kin.
But Shisui-sensei had no family left behind, no attachments.
So as Shisui's direct disciple, Fugaku must have handed over the two million ryō inheritance to me?
"Grandfather, keep your savings for now. Just give me Shisui-sensei's inheritance," Akira said.
His grandfather then went to retrieve the money. Two million ryō was no small amount!
With 100,000 ryō per simulation, as long as I don't reach Kage level, I should be able to do 20 simulations!
It'll take about 20 days.
From the previous life simulations, it seems there are still over two months until the Night of the Uchiha Massacre!
After planning it out carefully, Akira decided to use half of the money to increase his strength.
At the same time, he would also work on the plan to involve the Hidden Cloud Village.
With a rough idea of what he needed to do in the life simulations, Uchiha Akira began another simulation the next day.
[You found an excuse to take on a B-rank mission and left Konoha Village!]
[On the way, you noticed someone following you. With a bit of strategy, you successfully eliminated the pursuer, who turned out to be a Root ninja!]
[After traveling for half a month, you returned to the Hidden Cloud Village!]
[You met the Fourth Raikage and tried to use Kotoamatsukami to control him, but it failed!]
[The Raikage killed you!]
