"System, isn't it normal to get one Simulation Point after a run? Why did I get three this time?"
To clear up the confusion, Uchiha Kirin summoned the assistant.
『Ding~ Based on the user's performance during the simulation, the system will issue rewards of varying levels.』
Uchiha Kirin nodded. "But I've gotten a 'life-or-death level' evaluation before, and I only got one point that time. Why?"
『Ding~ Reward levels don't always reflect performance with pinpoint accuracy.』
『So even within the same grade, the system may issue extra Simulation Points or offer special hidden rewards to compensate.』
"I see... So this 'Presence Concealment' ability must be a hidden reward I earned thanks to my performance in the last simulation?"
『Ding~ Correct.』
『It's recommended that the user claim Presence Concealment now. This ability can be used within simulations.』
Scratching his head, Kirin considered the assistant's suggestion. The term "Presence Concealment" wasn't hard to understand—it clearly referred to the suppression of his aura and chakra signature to avoid detection. But the fact that this ability could be used in simulations? That caught him off guard.
Still, to understand the exact effect, he had to claim it first. Without hesitation, Kirin chose options 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.
Moments later, he felt a thin, invisible membrane wrap around his body. Knowledge of various jutsu surged into his mind, as if his body had practiced them thousands of times. Muscle memory locked them in place...
"So that's how it works."
As soon as he finished claiming the rewards, Kirin instinctively grasped the full effect of Presence Concealment: it allowed him to completely mask his chakra, presence, dōjutsu energy, and even spiritual fluctuations.
From this moment on, no matter if it was the Byakugan, Sharingan, or Kagura's Mind Eye—no sensory jutsu could detect anything unusual about him. His presence would be indistinguishable from that of a normal three-year-old child.
Of course, the effect wasn't without limits. If he used any of his true strength, the concealment would automatically deactivate.
Fortunately, in the real world, even if his true strength was revealed through training, synchronization, or even killing someone, Presence Concealment would lock his signature to the highest level he had revealed publicly. It wouldn't update just because he got stronger later on.
In other words, if Kirin used Genin-level power to assassinate someone, then to any sensory-type ninja, his chakra would remain "Genin-level"—even if he eventually reached Chūnin or Jōnin strength, so long as he didn't exceed what he'd shown before.
Unfortunately, this ability could only be used once per simulation.
"But that's more than enough."
Kirin was very satisfied with this new ability.
With each reward he received from the simulator, his strength had grown rapidly—from the level of a toddler to that of a proper Genin. Thankfully, Genin-level chakra was common in Konoha, so he hadn't yet drawn the attention of any sensory ninja.
But if his power kept growing unchecked, his chakra signature would eventually stand out like a lantern in the dark—or worse, like a blazing sun. That would draw deadly attention far too soon.
Presence Concealment was the perfect safeguard.
...
"Right, what about the Loot System? How did the Root agent codenamed 'Yama' turn out?"
Now that he understood the value of Presence Concealment, Kirin turned his attention to the loot. He was eager to see how much damage his self-destructive surprise attack had done.
〖Target sustained: light injuries〗
〖Loot has been randomly generated.〗
『1』Speed +23
Even though he had gone all-in during the simulation—ambushing Yama with prep work, detonating explosive tags, and triggering a chakra-sealed container filled with highly destructive force—the result was still just light injuries.
"Figures. I'm still not strong enough… Was it the Body Flicker Technique? Either way, a Speed boost feels fitting."
He claimed the 23 Speed points. The effect was immediate—his limbs grew leaner, faster, more powerful. Even the fine structure of his nervous system felt sharper, more responsive...

Getting those free Speed points from the Root agent boosted Kirin's stats again, with Speed now his highest physical attribute.
He also noticed minor boosts in Endurance, Spirit, and Chakra. He suspected it was thanks to synchronizing his chakra control and practicing new jutsu during the simulation.
"Three Simulation Points... that means I can select an extra option in each of the next two runs. Even a small boost matters—and more options mean more chances to grow stronger, especially since time in the real world still passes during each simulation. Why not take advantage?"
He pulled out the suitcase and explosive tags.
〖Simulation Start〗
〖Target: Root Agent – Yama〗
〖Time: 4:00 a.m.〗
There was still a bit of time before the Root agent arrived. You decided to use every moment to push your strength further. In your room, you practiced chakra control and substitution repeatedly.
Thanks to Presence Concealment, none of the noise you made drew any attention.
〖5:00 a.m.〗
You continued refining your chakra control. In the corner of the room, you spotted a rat. You took out a shuriken to eliminate it—but then paused with a new idea.
You activated your Sharingan and locked eyes with the rat. It fell into a trance. As expected, such low-intelligence creatures were ideal for genjutsu practice. Using the rat, you practiced the hypnotic effects of the Sharingan over and over again.
〖6:00 a.m.〗
While sticking to the ceiling using chakra, you simultaneously controlled the rat with your Sharingan, forcing it into various poses. This dual-focus training improved both your chakra control and Sharingan proficiency at once.
〖7:00 a.m.〗
Granny Yukina knocked on your door.
You quickly deactivated your Sharingan, dropped from the ceiling, and cleaned up the room.
Time for breakfast.
