Waking up early in the morning,
Takumi felt refreshed.
To his left and right were the exhausted Kurenai and Yugito, sleeping soundly.
Takumi quietly slipped away, but before leaving the room, he casually glanced up at the ceiling, a smile appearing on his face.
Last night, he had sensed Konan's arrival.
But he didn't mind; anyway, Konan knew that her concealment abilities were useless against Takumi.
And the two of them had a tacit understanding.
Takumi wouldn't expose Konan's disguise, and Konan wouldn't initiatively reveal herself.
So, Konan spent the whole night stuck to the ceiling, watching Takumi's fierce and vigorous actions with a red face.
She even felt a hint of longing in her heart. After all, she had never experienced such a thing.
Watching Yugito and Kurenai, who seemed both pained and pleasured, made her want to try it herself.
Takumi just glanced and paid no attention.
He knew Konan wouldn't harm the people around him.
Moreover, he had successfully made Konan believe that he was the one who truly inherited the will of the Akatsuki.
So, in Konan's heart, she would subconsciously lean towards Takumi.
Even when it came to matters involving the Akatsuki, her stance was gradually becoming somewhat biased now.
It was just that she knew she couldn't resist Obito, so she remained silent.
In a good mood, Takumi hummed a tune he had suddenly thought of yesterday while preparing breakfast.
It was, as usual, a breakfast full of nutrients.
After feeding the two women, Takumi also went out.
In the simulation, he would treat Hinata and the others to a meal.
And afterwards, he would spar with Hinata and the others.
But even if he alone took on five people, it was really too bullying.
Or rather, within Konoha, no one was capable of fighting him.
Unless Kakashi used his Mangekyo.
Kakashi's Mangekyo, with its power to distort space, still made him wary.
That kind of power that directly twists space was useless no matter how strong his defense was.
Of course, the slower activation of that move was also a problem.
It wasn't too much of a concern.
'I haven't seen that blockhead for a while, let's go check on him.'
Takumi thought for a moment and realized he hadn't seen Sasuke for a long time.
A hint of curiosity arose in his heart.
Arriving at the training ground where Sasuke often trained, he indeed found him.
At this moment, Sasuke could still only maintain a half-body Susano'o.
His Pupil Power was already sufficient, but what hindered Sasuke was the Chakra within his body.
After all, Sasuke didn't have a physique like Naruto's with such abundant Chakra.
For him to support a complete Susano'o, at least two or three years would have to pass.
Sasuke's current Chakra couldn't support a complete Susano'o.
Although unwilling, after trying many times, he could only give up on that idea.
He could only shift to practicing his control abilities.
For example, the abilities of his two Mangekyo Sharingan.
Both of Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan abilities were related to black flames.
The left eye, Amaterasu, could summon inextinguishable black flames within the line of sight, the strongest flames that can burn anything.
The right eye, Kagutsuchi, could control the black flames, shaping them into various forms for attack and defense.
At this moment, Sasuke was training using this method.
On one hand of his Susano'o, a giant sword composed of black flames was condensing.
Looking at that giant sword, a rare solemn expression appeared in Takumi's eyes.
Even he was extremely wary of the black flames, said to be capable of burning all things.
Even though he had a flame-resistant body, not fearing temperature or burning,
The black flames were clearly not in that category.
Compared to ordinary flames, the black flames seemed to act more on the level of the soul.
They could directly burn the target's spirit from the soul level.
In terms of soul defense, Takumi was indeed somewhat lacking.
If the black flames really touched him, he might be seriously injured.
Fortunately, the black flames were not unpreventable.
"It seems you're progressing quickly."
Takumi withdrew his solemn expression and put on a relaxed look. "At your current pace, it won't be long before you can seek revenge from your brother."
"Hmph!"
Sasuke snorted coldly. "What do you want with me?"
"I'm just a bit curious."
Takumi shrugged. "After all, when I was in the village before, you always came to challenge me, but you haven't shown up these past two days."
"Why would I go looking for trouble in a fight I know I'm bound to lose?"
Sasuke's expression became even more unsightly.
He felt that Takumi was doing this on purpose.
Putting on a curious face, he was actually just planning to come over and bully him.
'Just wait!'
'When I perfected my Susano'o to its limit, that would be the time for me, Uchiha Sasuke, to get my revenge!'
"Ahaha."
Takumi chuckled awkwardly, thinking to himself: 'So you knew all along you were looking for trouble, huh?'
But of course, he wouldn't say that out loud; it would be too hurtful.
It also didn't fit his persona.
"Speaking of Itachi, have you seen him recently?"
Takumi asked, feigning curiosity.
He knew of course that Sasuke couldn't see Itachi; he was just casually starting a topic.
"I can't even leave the village now, how could I see him?"
Mentioning this, Sasuke's expression became even more gloomy.
Perhaps it was because of the power he had displayed, which was too great.
Hiruzen, fearing he might defect like Itachi, strictly restricted him from leaving the village under the guise of protecting his safe growth and preventing assassination by malicious parties.
But in reality, even Sasuke could guess that Hiruzen was afraid he would leave and never return.
But how could he possibly leave casually?
He still had to revive the Uchiha Clan.
Only by reviving the Uchiha Clan in Konoha could it be considered revival.
Otherwise, even if he left and let the Uchiha Clan spread far and wide, it would still feel like a defeat.
The two great clans that once founded Konoha.
The Senju Clan still had Tsunade.
But the Uchiha Clan only had him left.
If he left too, then the Uchiha of Konoha would truly become a thing of the past.
"The Akatsuki, which he's in now, is secretly carrying out a terrifying plan."
Takumi spoke as if he hadn't noticed Sasuke's unsightly expression. "Do you want to know?"
Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then slowly dispersed his maintained Susano'o.
His face was covered in sweat, obviously having been training for a while. "Tell me."
"These are not things you can interfere with now."
Takumi smiled, and when Sasuke's face darkened like the bottom of a pot, he waved his hand and said, "When you can use the Complete Body Susano'o, I'll tell you then."
Having specifically come to tease Sasuke, his mood immediately improved greatly.
"I'll kill you one day!"
Sasuke said through gritted teeth.
Purposely mentioning a name and information that caught his attention, then raising his hopes only to directly go back on his word?
Sasuke was about to explode with anger!
But his reason remained.
He knew that, as he was now, he simply couldn't beat Takumi.
He could only keep taking deep breaths to calm the turmoil inside.
Back on the street, Takumi felt a bit bored.
Thinking that he would set out on a mission tomorrow, his spirits tightened somewhat.
Orochimaru and his subordinates were nothing.
But what concerned him were those hidden in the shadows, the Akatsuki.
He still didn't know who would come this time, after all, the targeted simulation process didn't reach that point.
But no matter who came, he was confident he could escape.
He had that much confidence in himself.
"Maybe I should go take a look. Who knows, the intelligence might have already arrived."
After thinking it over, Takumi decided to go to the Hokage Tower.
If the intelligence had already been sent back, he could directly set out with Hinata and the others, saving some time.
Although he still wanted to spend some tender moments with Yugito and Kurenai,
He couldn't immerse himself too deeply in the comfort of their embrace.
Otherwise, he would become a wastrel.
