For this simulation, Ryun would undoubtedly need to use the talent locking function.
This way, Ryun would at least obtain a low-level Wood Release talent, without having to gamble on probability.
Additionally, Ryun also planned to lock the Yang, Earth, and Water talents.
With 30 simulation points now, Ryun felt he could afford to be a bit more extravagant.
Ryun's Yang, Earth, and Water chakra aptitudes were still only intermediate level, and all three were currently quite important.
Yang Release chakra determined whether Ryun could improve his physical attributes faster and enhance the strength of those around him. As for the Earth and Water chakra aptitudes, they determined the upper limit of his Wood Release talent.
If even one of these three chakra aptitude attributes reached advanced level, Ryun would not have wasted these three simulation points.
Next was the strategy for this simulation.
Moegi was still too young now. Ryun would have to spend at least ten years in the simulation before he could end it.
This meant that after finishing the Shinobi World War, Ryun would still need to find something to do.
Although the current version of the shinobi world was still focused on the five basic nature transformations, Ryun was about to enter the Shippuden version.
Flying Thunder God, Yin Seal, Wood Release, and Sage Mode were the methods Ryun would focus on to improve his strength in the coming period.
Therefore, Ryun's focus should also shift to these ninjutsu, especially gaining practical experience in applying the Flying Thunder God and exploring the possibility of learning Sage Mode.
Having learned the Flying Thunder God, he should master the entire series of Flying Thunder God techniques, not just use it as a flash step or teleportation.
As for Ryun's original simulation trifecta—writing books, designing ninja tools, and recording ninjutsu knowledge—aside from writing, the others could be set aside for now.
Then there were the relationships with the girls.
In previous simulations, Ryun had already figured out the tolerance limits of Tenten and Sakura, and established a basically guaranteed successful bond with Anko. Naturally, this time he needed to change targets.
It wasn't that Ryun didn't want to win over everyone at once, but for this simulation, Ryun had invested five simulation points from the start. Ensuring the simulation's success was still the top priority.
So, the remaining options were Ino, Kurenai, Hinata, and Hanabi.
Although Ryun had successfully left offspring with Kurenai in a previous simulation, that was based on the premise of him, Anko, and Kurenai defecting.
Now, in Konoha, whether Ryun could win over Kurenai was still questionable.
Ino was in a similar situation. The reason Ryun could leave offspring with her before was because Yamanaka Fuu attacked Ryun, and then Ryun sent her flowers day after day for years, accumulating sufficiently deep feelings. Now, forget about Yamanaka Fuu; even Danzo had been driven into seclusion by Ryun. His relationship with Ino naturally needed to be re-evaluated.
As for the sisters Hinata and Hanabi, although Hinata might seem easier to win over than the previous two, Ryun still didn't want the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai for the time being, as it would be difficult to explain if discovered.
Of course, wearing special contact lenses was one way to solve this problem.
Once the situation stabilized a bit more, Ryun would have a shadow clone find someone who could make such custom contact lenses.
Or, he could simply wait until after the Chunin Exams to simulate with these two sisters. By then, Ryun probably wouldn't need to explain anything to anyone.
Therefore, for this simulation, Ryun decided to win over Ino and Kurenai first. It wouldn't be too late to win over Moegi after the Shinobi World War.
There was also an important task: confirming the future development situation of Konoha.
After Ryun's large-scale interference, whether the progress of the Chunin Exams would change was something Ryun needed to gather experience on through this simulation.
Ryun patiently planned everything. An hour later, Ino and Sakura came to say goodbye to Ryun.
Just as Ryun was about to start the simulation, Moegi walked in, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
"Quite the rare guest, Moegi. What's up?"
Ryun had stayed at the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House for a long time and had become good friends with Moegi.
Sometimes, when Moegi encountered something interesting at school or got scolded by her grandma and felt wronged, she would come to Ryun to talk.
But like today, with Moegi coming over so late, it was a first.
"You're not still angry about what happened earlier, are you? I choked accidentally too."
Moegi shook her head, hesitating to speak. This worried look was completely unlike her usual self.
In the end, Moegi said nothing was wrong and then turned and left.
Ryun was left utterly confused, but he then closed the door and began sensing Kazamatsuri Moegi's movements.
He soon found the reason. So, Kazamatsuri Maki, Moegi's grandma, was sick.
Ryun was already quite familiar with Moegi's family situation.
Her parents were also shinobi, but they didn't possess the Wood Release talent.
Her grandfather died in the Nine-Tails Attack, and her parents also died accidentally on a mission a couple of years ago. Now, only her grandma was left to rely on each other.
Kazamatsuri Maki had once been a genin and was relatively healthy; otherwise, she couldn't have managed such a large hot spring house alone.
But she was old after all, and Moegi couldn't help much. This was also why the grandmother and granddaughter were so happy about Ryun's long-term stay.
A generous guest like Ryun who was so easy to accommodate wasn't common in Konoha.
Precisely because of this, Kazamatsuri Maki actually didn't like Moegi disturbing Ryun.
If Ryun hadn't shown kindness to Moegi, she might not have even allowed Moegi to appear before Ryun.
Now that Kazamatsuri Maki was sick, she naturally couldn't ask Ryun, a guest, for help. She chose to go to the Konoha Hospital to buy medicine herself.
Moegi saw this but couldn't help, which naturally made her anxious.
Seeing this, Ryun withdrew his sensing ability.
Earlier, he was still considering where to start to increase Moegi's favorability towards him. Now, the opportunity was right before his eyes.
Of course, just helping Kazamatsuri Maki get treatment wasn't enough. In the future, Ryun would need to do some more things. He had already formulated a plan for this.
Ryun waited a while longer, until the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House was completely quiet, then turned off the light and started the simulation.
He created a shadow clone, tasked the clone with keeping watch, and opened the simulator himself.
Following the previous plan, he used 5 simulation points in one go and entered the first guidance.
[Simulation begins]
[Remaining simulation points: 25]
[Simulation target: Kazamatsuri Moegi]
[Initial relationship: You are a big brother she can trust.]
Big brother—so there was progress. Previously, in Moegi's eyes, he was just a good person.
Ryun had even worried that the conflict with Asuma at the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House might lower Moegi's favorability.
Now it seemed he was overthinking. Compared to the shock Ryun brought Moegi from the adults' emotional entanglements, Ryun driving away the drunkard Asuma was clearly more memorable for her.
[Early the next morning, you left your room and knocked on Kazamatsuri Maki's door. Kazamatsuri Maki looked at you in surprise, asking what was the matter.]
[You smiled and told her that Moegi asked you to come examine her. Moegi, who was eating, was startled, but facing her grandma's angry gaze, Moegi gritted her teeth and actually confirmed your words. Even if she got a scolding from grandma later, she had to ensure her grandma's health.]
Ryun felt a bit strange at this point. When did Moegi learn he knew medical ninjutsu?
But then Ryun remembered that after training with Ino, Sakura, and Hinata, he would occasionally use Yang Release chakra to give the three of them massages at the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House. Perhaps in Moegi's eyes, that counted as treatment?
[Kazamatsuri Maki wanted to refuse your kindness, but you directly said that if she was cured, you hoped Kazamatsuri Maki would waive Ryun's lodging fee for one week. If not cured, you wouldn't take anything. Only then did Kazamatsuri Maki hesitantly extend her hand, accepting your examination.]
[After your examination, you found no signs of illness in Kazamatsuri Maki. However, there were multiple old injuries in her body, even one that had damaged her lungs. Although they had been treated with medicine, some internal remnants were still harming her body.]
[After thinking, you decided to treat her. But you hoped she would promise not to tell others about your medical ninjutsu. Kazamatsuri Maki was still hesitant, but Moegi answered for her grandma. Seeing this, Kazamatsuri Maki could only agree.]
[Under your treatment, all of Kazamatsuri Maki's old injuries were cleared. You even infused some Yang Release chakra into her, enough for Kazamatsuri Maki's body to fully recover its health. Seeing her grandma's complexion improve day by day, Moegi was filled with gratitude towards you.]
