章 13: Chapter 12 You are my Sunshine
[Takuya… he's training again…]
[Naruto, Choji, and others, who were wandering by the riverbank, spotted you…]
[It's been a week since you dropped out of school, and every day, you've been doing the same repetitive and tedious training.]
[——Pretty intense, actually.]
[——Almost on par with that bowl-cut guy from last year.]
[——Why hasn't Guy-sensei taken him as a student?]
[That's how the others are commenting on you.]
[Even though most don't really get it, no one dislikes someone who works hard.]
[Day 2, Day 3…]
[Whether it's windy or rainy…]
[You haven't skipped a single day of training.]
[Three months pass, and your physical strength has improved significantly.]
[You've got six-pack abs, and your muscles are clearly defined.]
[It's another evening by the shimmering riverbank.]
[Running against the wind, sweat soaking your clothes, you're panting heavily.]
[At that moment, you notice a child sitting a short distance ahead, hugging his knees.]
[You walk over, clean his wound, unravel some bandages, wrap them around twice, and bite off the end to secure it.]
[The boy looks up at you with gratitude, his eyes sparkling like stars.]
[He asks why you run every day, and you answer, "For the sake of Konoha."]
[Hearing this, the group of onlookers relaxing on the riverbank, including Sasuke, all have blank expressions.]
[Especially Sasuke, who lets out an annoyed "Tch" and coldly mutters three words: "All talk, no action."]
[But in the next moment, you smile and pat the boy's head, changing your answer: "Actually, it's to protect all of you."]
[The boy looks confused, while you stand up quietly, gazing at the distant sunset.]
["I'm not gifted, so I have to work harder than anyone else. I don't care what happens to the village, but I will protect the ones I love."]
[A gentle breeze blows, making your hair and clothes flutter in the wind.]
[You don't realize that the boy sitting on the ground now looks up to you with admiration and fondness he's never felt before, and the group by the river is equally stunned, their eyes fixed on your back in awe.]
[You ruffle the boy's hair and bid him farewell.]
[But just as you start running again, he suddenly shouts,]
["When I grow up, I'll be just like you, big brother, working hard to protect the ones I love!"]
[You pause for a moment, surprised, but then smile as you continue running.]
["You won't need to!" You shout back without turning around, extending a hand behind you. "In my generation, peace will come!"]
["With my fists!"]
[Your hand forms a fist in the air.]
[The boy stares blankly as you run off, and the group by the river stands there in stunned silence, equally speechless.]
[You have no idea how grand your image has become in this moment.]
[You don't realize how much impact your words have had on everyone.]
[Nor do you know that, on this very day, three girls have fallen completely in love with you…]
…
…
"...…"
After reading through this simulation, Takuya was completely stunned!
He stood there, shocked, unable to move for a long time!
"What!?"
"This is way too intense, too over-the-top!"
Takuya's face flushed red as he took in deep breaths.
To be honest—
He was impressed by himself!
This version of him, so fired up and passionate, knew exactly how to captivate people!
That line, [I don't care what happens to the village, but I will protect the ones I love.]
And that other one, [You won't need to! In my generation, peace will come.]
Seriously!?
Can a normal person even say things like that?
This level of insight, this height, this impact!
If you didn't have boiling blood running through you at 105 degrees, there's no way you could say that!
…
Takuya was starting to feel a bit anxious.
If even he was captivated by himself, what kind of achievement would this simulation ultimately lead to?
Maybe it's not just the boy—Naruto and Sasuke might fall for him too!
…
[You train day and night, pouring all your effort into honing your body.]
[Your body grows stronger, and your punches become harder.]
[After eight months, you graduate.]
[Still fired up, you volunteer to join Kakashi's team.]
[In Kakashi's bell test, you successfully grab a bell.]
[And to avoid abandoning your teammates, you risk elimination by feeding the tied-up Naruto.]
[You pass Kakashi's test and receive praise from both Naruto and Sakura.]
[Even Sasuke, with his usual aloof attitude, grudgingly mutters, "Not bad."]
[Three days later, you receive the mission to accompany the team to the Land of Waves.]
[Of course, you don't want to miss this training opportunity, so you eagerly go and become Tazuna's personal bodyguard.]
…
"Is it about to start?"
Takuya clenched his fists, feeling nervous.
After all, this was the main storyline from the original series.
With his previous strength, forget the Land of Waves, he'd barely pass the graduation exam.
Now, he was curious to see how far he could go in this simulation.
…
[On the second day, you and Team 7 begin your journey. Before long, you encounter your first enemies—two hidden assassination ninjas in the water.]
[Since you know the plot, you're prepared before anyone else notices.]
[You successfully fend off the ambush, killing one of the enemies, earning praise from Kakashi and admiration from Sakura.]
[Shortly after, you encounter the mastermind behind the attack—Zabuza Momochi.]
[After exchanging names, the battle begins.]
[Zabuza activates the Hidden Mist Technique, enveloping the area in thick fog.]
[He also launches a psychological attack, trying to intimidate you all.]
[You're the first to be ambushed.]
[Your throat is slashed, and blood gushes out.]
[You die.]
[Your life ends here.]
[Simulation over.]
…
…
"???????"
"What the hell!!!!!!!"
Takuya cursed loudly at the sudden result!
What kind of nonsense was this?
That's it? He died just like that?
The battle had barely started, and he was already dead!?
Are you kidding me!?
"Hey! System, are you sure this simulation is correct?"
"I trained for so long, and the first fight I get into, I die just like that? And so abruptly too!"
Takuya was completely numb!
Seriously.
In the earlier part, when he was training, he was so cool, so captivating!
And then, the moment he enters actual combat, he kicks the bucket!?
Is this a joke or what?!
[Ding! Host, this system's simulations are based on real possibilities. You being killed by Zabuza was not a mistake; it was a highly probable outcome!]
[All battle outcomes are determined by the relative strength of both sides and the buffs they possess.]
[If the host has doubts, the next step will be a detailed analysis.]
"You've got to be kidding me…"
