[Madara is also bewildered. Due to being in Edo Tensei state, he won't die from being struck by lightning, but his body being constantly destroyed leaves him helpless.]
[He dares not undo the Edo Tensei contract; once he gains a real body, he fears being directly killed by the lightning.]
[Until he understands the cause, he dare not attempt.]
[Then, Obito appears, staring dumbfounded at the unbelievable scene.]
[But he hasn't forgotten his plan. He summons the Outer Path Statue and injects the Tailed Beasts' Chakra to awaken the Ten-Tails.]
[But you immediately turn your target. Countless lightning bolts strike the Ten-Tails. The wild and fierce power of nature manifests at this moment.]
[The immensely powerful Ten-Tails, before it can even show its strength, is shattered by countless lightning strikes.]
[Obito is completely dumbfounded. His plan is completely ended.]
[You shift your target again. Countless lightning bolts rain down on Obito. The pretender falls.]
[The Fourth Shinobi World War ends prematurely because of you.]
[You casually dispose of Black Zetsu, completely eliminating any possibility of further turmoil in the Shinobi World.]
[And your invincible legend begins spreading from Konoha's folklore, becoming widely known.]
[People erect shrines for you, make offerings, and pray for your safety.]
[You regard yourself as a mischievous dragon king, bringing rain in some places and delivering thunderous punishment in others.]
[After an unknown amount of time, all those you knew have disappeared. In the long years, you finally taste the flavor of loneliness.]
[Ultimately, you stop your perception, as if falling into a deep sleep, except the sleep is permanent.]
'Finally, it's over.'
Takumi couldn't help but sigh. 'Almost no obstacles, achieving this so smoothly.'
'Looks like the score won't be low.'
[Ding! Simulation ended!]
[Calculating...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation's evaluation is: S!]
'Hmm? Why isn't the score the highest?'
Takumi frowned, feeling something was off.
'Except for nearly having an accident early on, everything went smoothly. How is this only S?'
'Although S is good, this performance definitely deserves SS!'
'System, what's going on? Come out, let's talk.'
Takumi's face was full of dissatisfaction. He wanted to hear the system's explanation.
[During a certain period, your personality was too arrogant, your actions too reckless, lacking positive energy.]
[Your impact on the overall situation was minimal. You only appeared at the end, killing a few people who were destined to die anyway.]
''Reckless' refers to killing Asuma, right? He was going to die anyway, just earlier or later.'
Takumi pouted, then seriously considered the system's second point.
'That explanation seems reasonable.'
'Besides saving Haku and Jiraiya, it didn't affect the overall situation of the Shinobi World at all.'
'But I did play a lot of pranks, leaving legends of thunderous punishment all over the Shinobi World.'
'Tsk, thinking about it this way, it's exactly as the system said.'
Takumi felt a bit unwilling.
But the more he thought about it, the more he realized it was just as the system described.
He had merely followed the trajectory of history, doing in the final moments what should have been done by Sasuke and Naruto.
In fact, he hadn't made significant changes to the Shinobi World.
From this perspective, the score was very reasonable.
Reasonable as it may be, Takumi still felt unwilling.
But unwilling as he was, it was useless.
The outcome was already determined; he couldn't change it.
At least until he found an error in the system, this result couldn't be changed.
[Ding! Based on your simulation evaluation reaching S.]
[You can choose 2 of the following rewards:]
[1. Lightning Body (can be freely activated and deactivated)]
[2. Learn all devoured Lightning Release Ninjutsu.]
[3. Insights on playing pranks.]
'Well...'
Takumi decisively ignored the third option. 'I choose the first and second.'
Selection complete.
He immediately felt a huge change in his body.
The feeling of a flesh-and-blood body was gone. He seemed to have become a lightning incarnation, a faint white glow shimmering on his body.
Although he still had a human appearance, he had become lightning.
'This feeling...'
He raised an eyebrow, took out a kunai, and slashed at his arm. The kunai passed through without leaving a trace, as if it had slashed through an illusion, not his arm.
'Indeed, similar to the effect of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.'
'This way, I can ignore Taijutsu attacks, and anyone using Taijutsu on me will probably be subject to lightning's counter, getting paralyzed on the spot.'
Takumi's brow relaxed.
"Got another good ability."
In a good mood, Takumi carefully prepared a hearty breakfast.
He woke Yugito and was about to feed her when she squirmed. "Can you unlock the chains? I promise I won't run and won't do anything to threaten Konoha."
Her face was slightly flushed. "I just want to feed myself."
Takumi raised an eyebrow and pointed a finger at her forehead.
Zap!
Electric current instantly shot through her entire body. If she weren't Matatabi's Jinchuriki, she would have been knocked unconscious by now.
"Remember your status. You're a prisoner. No room for negotiation."
Takumi said rather coldly, then picked up the spoon and fed her bite by bite.
She opened her mouth dazedly, repeating the same action like a machine.
But her mind was filled with confusion.
'This lightning... it wasn't ordinary lightning!'
As Matatabi's Jinchuriki, she was very proficient in Lightning Release.
But upon touching the electric current from Takumi's fingertip, she immediately discerned that it wasn't lightning generated by Ninjutsu.
It was lightning that existed in nature itself!
There was an essential difference between the two!
She had never seen anyone directly use natural lightning. She knew of methods to guide it, though.
Kumogakure specialized in Lightning Release and had put immense effort into this area.
But each method was very troublesome.
Compared to the Kirin Sasuke would later create, using them was quite laborious.
So, seeing Takumi so easily use natural lightning, she was this shocked.
When she came to, she found breakfast was over.
Feeling a slight coolness on her chest, she looked down and saw a damp patch there.
Recalling the situation from the day before, she immediately understood what had happened.
Takumi must have taken the chance to take advantage of her while wiping her.
'Little pervert!'
She muttered softly, her cheeks flushed, her eyes full of hesitation.
