[The crisis has been temporarily resolved, and you breathe a deep sigh of relief.]
[Having dealt with the Iwagakure's Shinobi attack, you continue the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge.]
[Along the way, you deliberately search the surroundings, hoping to find a specific target.]
[You know the probability isn't high, but this slim chance actually comes your way.]
[You spot the figure of Black Zetsu.]
[Delighted, you immediately play the leaf in your hand to cast a Genjutsu.]
[You transform into the form of Otsutsuki Kaguya and appear before Black Zetsu.]
["Who are you?!" Black Zetsu doesn't believe it, even though the appearance of Kaguya before him is shocking enough.]
[But then you narrate his future plans in detail, looking at him with a gentle gaze.]
[At that moment, Black Zetsu, who had never felt the warmth of Kaguya's motherly love, is completely convinced and believes in you without a doubt.]
Upon careful thought, Black Zetsu is also a pitiable soul.
He thought he was Kaguya's child.
In reality, he was merely a tool created by Kaguya for her own resurrection.
He was utterly unaware of this, still hoping to reunite with his mother and enjoy the warmth of family.
But this also became his weakness at this moment.
If not for this, given Black Zetsu's usual caution, it wouldn't have been so easy for little Takumi to gain his trust.
Although he's pitiable,
He stirred up trouble across the Shinobi World, and most of its conflicts were related to him.
So, while pitiable, he's also extremely detestable.
If not for him, the Shinobi World, though not necessarily at peace, would at least have had far fewer conflicts.
[You know that you cannot completely kill Black Zetsu on your own; all you can do is sabotage his plans.]
[The key to those plans is Madara, currently hidden underground.]
[You have Black Zetsu lead the way, and he harbors no doubts, even feeling hopeful.]
[Because Madara possesses the Outer Path Statue, which Black Zetsu believes belongs to Kaguya.]
[Your appearance shocks Madara, and you take the opportunity to destroy the pipes connected to the Outer Path Statue that sustain his life.]
[Deprived of his life support, Madara dies in despair on the spot.]
[It's only then that Black Zetsu realizes you are not the real Kaguya.]
[But you had already used Genjutsu to flee far away, leaving Black Zetsu to rage impotently.]
One of the masterminds, Uchiha Madara, is dead.
Black Zetsu's plan is interrupted.
Finding another way to revive Kaguya would require careful scheming all over again, which is clearly impossible in the short term.
Takumi feels relieved about this.
It's a different kind of outcome.
[With the masterminds Black Zetsu and Madara gone, the Shinobi World enjoys over a decade of peace.]
[Although some individuals occasionally pop up to make their presence known, they don't pose any major crisis to the Shinobi World.]
[More than a decade passes, and Minato remains the Hokage.]
[Rin and Kakashi are already married. Obito, the lovestruck one, ultimately fails to win Rin's heart, but he finds an ugly woman named Ebina Rin, solely because her name contains "Rin".]
[Naruto has both parents alive and enjoys a happy childhood.]
[Sasuke doesn't experience the Massacre Night; Itachi stays by his side, making him less brooding.]
[Everything is peaceful, and you, thanks to your increasingly sophisticated Genjutsu, become quite famous in the village – though not for a good reputation.]
Everything is so beautiful.
But alas, this is all just a simulation result.
Naruto still suffers unfair treatment.
Sasuke still bears the deep-seated hatred.
Kakashi's inner remorse has lessened somewhat with Takumi's help,
But it still remains.
Konoha itself is inevitably heading towards decline.
Although Takumi's appearance has somewhat saved Konoha,
It has also made him a thorn in the side for various factions.
[Just then, Obito finds you, making a lifelong request.]
["Your Genjutsu is the strongest in the village. Could you cast a permanent Genjutsu on me?" Obito's request moves you.]
[Obito's obsession with Rin disgusts you, but his request is also an extremely difficult challenge for you.]
[The only permanent Genjutsu you know of is Kotoamatsukami, which can permanently alter a person's will.]
[If you could achieve this, it would mean you possess power comparable to Kotoamatsukami.]
[So, you begin intensive research.]
[Finally, after three years, you succeed. As per Obito's request, you cast the permanent Genjutsu on him.]
[Thus, whenever he looks at Ebina Rin, he will forever perceive her as Nohara Rin, fulfilling his desire to pursue Rin on a spiritual level.]
[But this becomes your swan song.]
[Although the permanent Genjutsu, researched with such effort, succeeded, it cost you most of your vitality.]
[After successfully casting the Genjutsu, you fall ill and are bedridden.]
[Years of tireless playing, enjoying everything Genjutsu brought you, unknowingly took a toll on your lungs.]
[Ultimately, you die young in your twenties, never having started a family.]
Takumi frowned, noticing a pattern.
Last time when he used "Incredible Luck", the simulation also ended early, without living out a full long life.
Although he didn't achieve the highest rating because of this,
He still obtained all the intended rewards, and the cooldown wasn't long either.
It's the same this time.
Just by thwarting Black Zetsu's plan and ensuring that most people who should have died or turned evil are alive in Konoha,
The score is definitely not low.
He'll surely get the rewards he wants.
Plus, the cooldown isn't long.
'Could this also be the effect of "Incredible Luck"?'
[Ding! Simulation ended!]
[Calculating results...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation score: S!]
An S-rank evaluation means he can choose two rewards.
Just as Takumi thought.
And this result is acceptable to him.
As mentioned before, not dying a natural death deducts some points from the simulation result.
To achieve an SS-rank evaluation in such a situation, he would likely need to unify the entire Shinobi World.
But obviously, this simulation didn't achieve that.
However, Takumi is already very satisfied.
Using "Incredible Luck" for a simulation is inherently targeted towards obtaining a specific ability.
While it lacks the randomness and surprise of normal use,
It at least guarantees a substantial gain.
Takumi won't quibble with the system now over wanting a higher score.
[Ding! Given that your simulation score this time reached S.]
[You can choose 2 of the following rewards:]
[1. Lifelong mastery of Genjutsu abilities.]
[2. Lifelong mastery of Musical abilities.]
[3. Lifelong accumulated Chakra amount.]
No need to hesitate.
Directly choose 1 and 2.
After choosing, Takumi immediately feels a multitude of things flooding into his mind.
And his ears become much more sensitive; he becomes extremely attuned to subtle sounds.
He even involuntarily judges the pitch of every sound he hears.
Fortunately, he quickly manages to control this instinctive behavior.
If it continued, it would be inconvenient for his plans.
