[Character Overview: You were born in a civilian family, blessed with remarkable talent, physical vitality, and a favorable personality. Though a social butterfly in Konoha, you occasionally struggle to empathize with others' perspectives. Handsome, analytical, and skilled at devising strategies, you are especially adept at understanding complex situations.]
[Simulation Timeline Options: Third Ninja War, Second Ninja War, First Ninja War, Fourth Ninja War, Sengoku Period, and the Ancestral Era.]
After some thought, Naruto chooses the Second Ninja War as the ideal timeline to start his journey. During the First Ninja War, Senju Tobirama had only just established the ninja academy, making their training system unrefined. By the Third War, Sarutobi Hiruzen's decisions were becoming more dubious. The Fourth Ninja War, with its numerous power-ups, was too unpredictable. The Sengoku and Ancestral periods lacked any formalized ninja training, putting a civilian-born character at a stark disadvantage.
Thus, Naruto decides to select the Second Ninja War, a time without any "chosen" figures like Ashura or Indra's reincarnations. Notable warriors like the Sannin and Hatake Sakumo rise to prominence during this era, making it the perfect stage.
Naruto then chooses Konoha Village as the character's birthplace. As a civilian from Konoha, his character could rise naturally within the village where Naruto believes a genius thrives best.

Simulation Begins
[You are born in Konoha and quickly display an astounding level of talent. You befriend Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, earning a reputation as Konoha's resident prodigy.]
Jiraiya, irritated by your talent, challenges you to a duel, and you accept, both out of curiosity and a desire to test your skills. The match ends in your victory.
[Orochimaru, intrigued by your skill and strategy, issues his own challenge. Once again, you accept, and through detailed combat tactics, you defeat Orochimaru. News of your success spreads, and you replace him as Konoha's top talent.]
From there, your popularity only increases. With strong friendships and admiration from your peers, you become well-known among your classmates. Graduation nears, and Sarutobi Hiruzen himself arrives at the academy, interested in taking on a new disciple. Observing your talent, he offers to make you his student.
You accept, and soon you, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru are trained as his disciples. Of all, Sarutobi Hiruzen seems particularly impressed with your combat intelligence, often remarking how your approach to battle reminds him of his own master.
Your skills improve at an unprecedented rate, and at just thirteen, you manage to defeat three Jōnin in a single battle, achieving the rare title of Jōnin at an exceptionally young age. When Sarutobi suggests contracting a Summoning beast, you agree and form a contract with the Monkey Demon clan, inheriting Hiruzen's legacy.
As you take on increasingly challenging missions, your combat experience grows rapidly.

The Second Ninja War Begins
The Land of Rain becomes the central battlefield, with you, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade heading there to engage the enemy. Amid the war-torn land, a formidable warrior emerges — Hanzo of the Salamander, a powerful leader feared across the five great nations for his unmatched strength. Hanzo effortlessly dispatches multiple Elite Jōnin, earning a reputation as the strongest figure in the ninja world.
Your efforts in battle draw significant attention, and you become known as Konoha's rising star. Sarutobi Hiruzen assigns you to lead Konoha's forces on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. Your strategic prowess shines as you command the Western Theater, defeating the Sand Shinobi army in a string of victories. Two Elite Jōnin from Sunagakure (Scorpion's parents) perish under your calculated assault, pushing Sunagakure to negotiate terms of surrender.
Despite Sand Shinobi's defeat, Hiruzen quickly agrees to a peace settlement, redirecting resources to other battlefronts. The war drags on, and Hanzo cements his legacy by narrowly besting Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade, sparing their lives and granting them the title of Sannin.
Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade learns of her brother Nawaki's death. She approaches Hiruzen, proposing that every squad be accompanied by a medic, a suggestion that is rejected due to the impracticality of training sufficient medical ninjas during wartime. You support her, advocating for a stronger medical training program, but the initiative is postponed as you're sent back to the Land of Rain to hasten the war's end.
With victory in sight, you find yourself facing Hanzo on the battlefield. His prowess has made him nearly unbeatable, but a sudden opportunity arises — you and Hanzo are the last two standing after a vicious clash. Recognizing that taking him down could be Konoha's key to victory, you opt to stay behind and challenge him alone.
In an intense duel, your strategic acumen allows you to outmaneuver and defeat Hanzo, a feat that shocks the ninja world. In recognition, you earn the moniker "Konoha's Godslayer," as your fame reaches unparalleled heights.

After the War
The Second Ninja War finally ends. Jiraiya remains in the Land of Rain, mentoring Yahiko, Uzumaki Nagato, and Konan. Orochimaru becomes increasingly absorbed in his experiments, while Tsunade struggles with the grief of losing her brother. You extend a comforting hand to her, and your bond with Tsunade grows stronger. With your successes on the battlefield and a growing respect among peers, Hiruzen appoints you as Minister of Konoha Anbu.
Determined to implement Tsunade's vision, you establish a comprehensive medical training program. As the village's strength declines due to Jiraiya's departure, Tsunade's departure, and the tragic suicide of Hatake Sakumo, Konoha's power wanes. Nonetheless, you remain committed to bolstering Konoha's defenses and training its future leaders.
Reflecting on Your Path
Your character has become a legend in the ninja world, achieving unparalleled respect as a tactical genius and a hero. Despite coming from humble origins, your tenacity, intelligence, and indomitable spirit have earned you the loyalty and admiration of countless allies.
As Naruto observes the simulation, he realizes the impact of his choices and how his character has risen to fame through a combination of natural talent, hard work, and strategic brilliance. While Naruto himself may not fully experience the character's life, witnessing the journey fills him with pride and inspiration.
