In the next thirteen simulations, Naruto successively obtained the Hōzuki Clan's Bloodline Limit, Gaara's Susanoo, numerous physical enhancements, and an additional four Nine-Tails cards… yet he still couldn't fully figure it out.
Konoha Village was truly remarkable.
Whenever Naruto chose someone suitable to become a Jinchūriki, even if they weren't originally born in Konoha, they would somehow end up there for various reasons, be discovered, and eventually become a reserve Jinchūriki.
Fortunately, Naruto's combat power had surpassed 500,000, officially placing him at Six Paths level.
After completing the mission, he still had eleven simulation opportunities remaining.
However, the system issued no new missions.
So Naruto stopped simulating and began organizing his thoughts.
He had gained too much power in too short a time, leaving him struggling to properly adapt to it all.
The sheer variety of abilities was dazzling.
His Six Paths power was also awakening.
Moreover, after integrating the Hyūga Clan's bloodline, the awakening of his Six Paths power accelerated even further.
Naruto estimated that it would take no more than two years for him to awaken the Rinnegan.
Compared to Uchiha Madara—who took nearly half his life to achieve the same—this speed was terrifying.
But on closer thought, it made sense.
Madara only possessed the Uchiha bloodline, along with a small amount of transplanted Senju Hashirama cells.
Given that, his slow progress in awakening Six Paths power was understandable.
Naruto, however, possessed the bloodlines of four great ninja clans: Uzumaki, Senju, Uchiha, and Hyūga.
Naturally, his speed was on an entirely different level.
After the simulation ended, Naruto had obtained nearly everything he wanted.
The only exception was Kurama Yakumo's Five Senses Domination.
This was normal—the Kurama Clan had an extremely low probability of awakening their Bloodline Limit.
Among everyone Naruto knew, only Kurama Yakumo possessed it.
Accurately targeting a specific individual in a simulation was an exceptionally difficult task.
Naruto didn't dwell on it for long.
If he didn't get it, then so be it.
Such things were rare to begin with.
He would keep an eye out in the future—if he found it, it would be a bonus.
If not, it wouldn't matter much.
Ending the simulation, Naruto opened his attribute panel.

"Not bad… With this, I can continue feeding Kurama."
Naruto muttered to himself.
With the acquisition of multiple abilities, his strength had finally reached true Six Paths level.
Six Paths level—power that existed on an entirely different plane from ordinary ninja.
Closing the attribute panel, Naruto felt a strong sense of security wash over him.
At least in this era, no one could threaten him anymore.
He closed his eyes and activated Kagura Shingan.
His perception expanded explosively.
Eventually, it covered nearly half of the ninja world.
Terrifying.
That was the only word Naruto could use to describe it.
The range of Kagura Shingan depended on the user's chakra quality and quantity.
And Naruto—enhanced by multiple bloodlines and the system—possessed chakra far beyond common understanding.
Even Kurama's chakra reserves couldn't compare to Naruto's anymore.
Through this perception, Naruto immediately sensed the Flying Thunder God mark he had left near the Dragon Vein outside Konoha.
After locking onto it, his figure flashed and vanished from his original location—Rōran Ruins.
In the desert, a figure appeared.
Naruto glanced at the calm surroundings and paid them little attention.
Lowering his gaze, he activated Gaara's ability.
Sand floated up from the ground and slowly poured into Naruto's pocket.
Gaara used a gourd to store sand, but Naruto had no such container.
Unable to find a suitable replacement for now, he simply stored some in his pocket as a backup.
In truth, Gaara's ability could generate sand seemingly from nothing.
However, using existing sand as a medium greatly reduced chakra consumption.
Even with abundant chakra, Naruto paid attention to such details.
More importantly, to smoothly activate his Susanoo, he needed to carry sand with him.
This ensured he wouldn't be caught off guard by sneak attacks.
It functioned like a passive defense, sparing him from constantly guarding against threats.
Of course, when necessary, Naruto would still remain vigilant.
This was merely a way to make life more convenient.
At the very least, he wouldn't end up like Uchiha Madara—ambushed from behind by a schemer.
If Madara had possessed Gaara's abilities, would Black Zetsu have succeeded?
Black Zetsu's combat strength wasn't impressive to begin with.
With sand-based defense, such an ambush would have been impossible.
After collecting the sand, Naruto sensed the next Flying Thunder God mark.
That location was close to the Land of Lightning.
And Naruto's reason for heading there went without saying.
Kumogakure's technology was remarkably similar to that of Naruto's previous life.
Concrete structures, precise machinery, computers, televisions—modern conveniences were widespread.
A Flying Thunder God kunai pierced through the sky, falling toward Kumogakure.
Before it even got close, it was detected.
Inside the monitoring room, a ninja frowned.
"What is that?"
"How can a kunai fly that high?"
"Never mind—shoot it down!"
Kumogakure's chakra cannons were already fully integrated into its defensive system.
The order was quickly relayed.
The operators adjusted their aim and pressed the button.
Boom!
A thunderous blast echoed as a stream of chakra shot straight toward the falling kunai.
The camera view zoomed out.
Across mountains and rivers, atop a distant peak, Naruto's half-closed eyes slowly opened.
"Tch… I didn't expect Kumogakure's technology to be this advanced."
In the next instant, his figure vanished.
High in the sky, just as the chakra beam was about to collide with the Flying Thunder God kunai, Naruto appeared.
He grasped the kunai with one hand, forcibly stabilizing his body midair.
The chakra cannon lacked tracking capabilities, and its beam streaked past him before dissipating into the sky.
Naruto looked down at the bustling Kumogakure below, a trace of cold indifference in his eyes.
The village's security response was incredibly sharp.
The moment he appeared, countless ninja were already mobilizing.
But Naruto didn't care.
Uchiha Madara once said:
What adult would get angry at children?
Naruto's version was simpler:
What human would care about the vigilance of ants?
This time, he didn't rely on the Flying Thunder God again.
His figure descended directly toward Kumogakure.
After effortlessly dodging several chakra cannon blasts—
With a heavy thud,
Naruto landed steadily atop the Raikage Building…
