[Simulation Cooldown - 24:23:59:52]
There were several things that surprised Hiroshi as he read the final evaluation for his 6th simulation. The cooldown time was a surprise, and so was the fact that he only got a C+ rating, and topping it all off was the fact that he could apparently select two upgrades instead of one. Even though Hiroshi didn't know everything about this system of his, he always thought that selecting one upgrade would be a hard cap enforced on him every time.
'So if I survive till the Infinite Tsukuyomi...no no the simulation stopped on the day after, the simulation automatically ends after Kaguya is sealed or something like that, I didn't actually make any change to the main storyline as I hid most of the time, so Naruto and Sasuke most likely should have won. But what would have happened if they didn't win, would the simulation have continued...'
Hiroshi's thoughts were racing as he looked at the 4 options once again, it wasn't like he didn't know what to choose but another thought popped up in his mind, he looked at the screen again and selected the option to get the new skills he learned during the simulation.
As soon as Hiroshi clicked on the screen a stream of memories appeared in his mind, in just a moment the amount of information getting crammed into his brain overwhelmed him, and his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he lost consciousness.

Hiroshi groaned as he woke up, his eyes flickered open but the headache increased as he tried to use his hands as support to regain his balance.
"Ugh..." Hiroshi let out a grunt as he managed to slowly stand up, his head was killing him, he looked at the huge bundle of notifications that were blocking his vision and he quickly willed them away. He winched as he tried to recall the memories that he gained from the system, it was weird, he clearly remembers how to perform various jutsu, and he also had access to various knowledge of several seals that he didn't have just a few seconds ago.
'Status' Hiroshi thought, he ignored the cluttered page and focused on any abnormal stats effect but there was nothing there. Another spike of pain, this time from the back of his head prompted Hiroshi to start walking towards his bed. He lied down and gritted his teeth, he looked at the rewards screen once again, knowing that selecting to get the skills increased during the simulation wasn't a good option right now.
'These migraines feel like what Kakashi warned Naruto about when he started training with thousands of shadow clones, let's rest for a bit and let the pain subside, no point in taking a risk when I could just delay accepting the simulation reward.'
Hiroshi closed his eyes, he slowly absorbed the new memories and experiences that he had, while knowing a fuck ton of Jutsus was a good portion of the harvest, the thing that caught Hiroshi's attention the most was the knowledge that came with Uzumaki Fuinjutsu. As said before in the simulation the Uzumaki clan had their own language, and there were several rules that govern their use. Hiroshi could remember the contents of the 7 scrolls that he got in the simulation, all of the scrolls contained a total of 81 basic seals of the Uzumaki clan that when combined with each other create the base for their whole fuinjutsu system.
Along with the Uzumaki Clan's exquisite knowledge came the basic principles of most intermediate seals and advanced Fuinjutsu, plus he now had access to 12 new seals in his arsenal. The pain in Hiroshi's head subsided as he slowly went through everything.
'The trading company plan could be moved forward, but I need access to the shadow clone jutsu to realistically manage everything. Oyashiro shouldn't have lied about the shadow clone Jutsu being a protected technique of Konoha, even in the show no one other than Konoha shinobi could use the shadow clone jutsu, which makes getting access to it a little trickier...'
Hiroshi didn't plan to go back to probe around Konoha before he had several things going in his favor. One of them was having access to the Shadow Clone Jutsu, it seems like he would have to rely on the simulation for that too, it's not like he was out of ideas, he knew where exactly Naruto would appear in a month or two.
'Till then I should focus on getting my physical stats up to par, if I could survive till the end of the war and can get access to two rewards every time, then it would be a little easier to both grind for stats while also upgrading my potential. Still, it was weird how the simulation cooldown didn't increase this time, has it reached the max possible cooldown, or maybe it there is a hard cap on cooldown time depending on my strength.'
Hiroshi stood up from his bed and walked towards the bonfire, there was a large pot containing blood-red water on top of the fire, and there was a thin sheet of plastic above the pot that collected all the water vapor onto a smaller container beside the setup. Hiroshi took a few sips before he went back to his bed, he wasn't in the mood to eat right now so he might as well get the second reward over it. After comfortably laying down on the bed he clicked on the [Skills increased during the Simulation] button.
As he felt a familiar sensation of different memories that appeared in his mind, his mind resisted for a bit longer before he succumbed to unconsciousness.

{03:13 PM, 12 April 78 Yrs}
Hiroshi woke up once again, he ignored the feeling of Dejavu as he waited for his headache to subside, this time the pain wasn't unbearable, he massaged his temple and looked through memories of him practicing and making seals, performing jutsu. The memories were a little blurry, they felt out of focus like a mask had been placed on a picture, and the main focus of the memories was on the seals or Jutsu but Hiroshi could almost feel like he got memories from his future self. The memories were a weird blend of vivid and blurry as he remembered making thousands of Explosive tags.
'It's like I went through the simulation, but only memories related to the jutsu and seals survived...'
Hiroshi stood up and grabbed a scroll from the table, the brush felt incredibly familiar in his hand as his hands moved with a muscle memory that he never had, in a couple of minutes a complicated seal matrix appeared in front of him. Created by combining 21 Uzumaki seals, the improvised version of the Intermediate Explosive tag felt almost royal. Hiroshi's eyes scanned the seal, as his gaze went from one part of the seal to the other he instantly knew why and how it worked.
'It's a little freaky how the simulation could change everything in the blink of an eye, I never noticed its effects last time when I upgraded my Water Walking to max level after the first simulation, but it seems like even the way in which I manipulate chakra outside my body could now be done a bit differently.'
Hiroshi held up his right hand, and a bright blue ball of chakra quickly formed in his hand. His chakra swirled but it quickly destabilized and scattered into the surroundings. Hiroshi clenched his hands, his eyes looked at the Intermediate Explosive tag before he put it aside, there was no harm in storing it away, it's not like he has charged it with chakra anyway.
'First things first, I should write down every seal matrix that I learned during the simulation, I probably won't forget it but I could just hide the scrolls here-' Hiroshi stood up and grabbed the stack of fuinjutsu scrolls.
---------------------------------
AN- What do you think about the max simulation cooldown limits based on strength?
I am thinking about, Academy/Genin for 5 days, 25 days for chunin, 50 for jounin, and 100 or 125 for Kage?
