Chapter 133: With Strength, You Can Do Whatever You Want
[Kurenai Yūhi chooses to prove her feelings with her actions. After a night of clouds and rain, you talk in low voices.]
[She tells you that she has given you everything, and you have experienced all of her. She is much older than you, and you have many people around you who like you. There is no need to waste your time on her.]
[She allows you to leave now, and she can pretend that yesterday never happened. Yesterday can be considered compensation for your feelings. You, of course, do not just pull up your pants and leave. You tell her that you like her, the person. As for the age issue, you can teach her the Yin Seal.]
[Kurenai's suppressed emotions finally relax, and you have a second bloom. After a morning together, you are greeted by Anko's sour-toned mockery. She says she has prepared late-night snacks, breakfast, and lunch for you, and asks which one you would like to eat.]
Seeing this, Makoto's eyes shifted. He wondered if his simulated self thought the same way he did. As it turned out, his simulated self was the real him.
[Faced with Anko's mockery, you naturally cannot let her stay out of it. You choose to pull her into the water with you. She wants to run, but is caught in Kurenai's genjutsu. As her best friend, Kurenai naturally cannot let this girl, who had been secretly putting in good words for you and fanning the flames, get away.]
[In the blink of an eye, an afternoon passes. You finally emerge as the victor of this stamina competition.]
[After being treated with your Yang Release chakra, Anko and Kurenai regain their ability to move. Having been hungry for a day, the three of you finally eat a delicious dinner. Throughout the process, Kurenai doesn't dare to look you in the face. She doesn't understand why she has been so crazy.]
[In contrast, Anko, who had been controlled by Kurenai before, now, as the experienced one, switches from defense to offense, constantly mocking her best friend. You watch all of this with a smile, not worried that they will have a falling out, because they are now members of your family.]
Reading this, Makoto let out a long breath.
He had finally succeeded. It wasn't easy. As expected, he had to be tougher with Kurenai, showing not just heroism but also a sense of responsibility. Of course, Anko's help was also indispensable. It seemed he would have to think about the problem of strengthening her later.
This simulation served as a reminder to him. As his strength grew, the landscape of the ninja world would naturally change. If an accident were to happen then, it would be much more troublesome for the real him to resurrect someone.
He had originally thought of waiting until he had pursued Tsunade and maxed out his own panel before strengthening the girls around him. But now it seemed that making them stronger so they could smoothly pass the Chūnin Exams would be beneficial to his future influence, not harmful.
Especially when Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzō both disappeared during the Chūnin Exams, his status in Konoha would experience a rapid rise. For example, in this current simulation, if he wanted to become a Hokage Advisor, even Koharu and Homura would have to seriously consider it. As for becoming Hokage himself, that was out of the question. The Sand Village had only made Gaara the Kazekage at such a young age because they had no one else. Konoha was not in such a dire state. Besides, that wasn't his ambition in this simulation.
[Because of your reputation, the Cloud and Rock villages ultimately choose not to mobilize their troops. They have not yet figured out how to deal with your move of throwing people a thousand miles away. If a great ninja war were to start, and you were responsible for throwing away the enemy's experts, the enemy's situation would instantly collapse.]
He was slightly taken aback by this line. He hadn't thought this move had such great power. It seemed to be even more influential than Namikaze Minato's direct assassinations.
It seemed to be true. Not all ninja could be instantly killed by Minato. A and Killer B, for example, could trade blows with him. As for the other Kage-level powerhouses, they all had their own means of self-preservation. But none of them could resist being thrown away by you, especially since this move only required you to touch your opponent.
Only then did he realize that he had faintly replicated Obito's "abduction" maneuver. If Obito had only focused on capturing people and throwing them into the Kamui dimension, the vast majority of people in this world would have died by his hand.
At this thought, he realized he might have to be wary of Obito. He hadn't wanted to become famous before precisely because he didn't want to attract his attention. But now that he was famous, he had to prevent Obito from targeting him. At least in the simulation, he didn't want to interfere with the Akatsuki's plans. After all, Naruto would be there to fight them.
[Jiraiya finds you, wanting to take you to find Tsunade. He does not ask where your Flying Thunder God and Chakra Enhanced Strength came from. Similarly, he does not explain how he learned of your identity. You are well aware of this tacit understanding, but you refuse his proposal. This time, you do not want to participate in the process of finding Tsunade.]
After all, his targets this time were Ino, Kurenai, and Moegi!
So his next goals were to cultivate his relationships with them and continue practicing the Flying Thunder God. In this life, he still had ten years to simulate. It would surely be enough to practice the technique and its related jutsu to perfection.
[Jiraiya respects your decision and brings Tsunade back with Naruto. Sasuke also comes to find you, asking if he can continue to practice with you. You tell him bluntly that the fastest way for him to improve is to train his eyes, and that is not something you can guide.]
[Sasuke ultimately still chooses to defect to Orochimaru's side. Tsunade orders you to pursue him, but you refuse. A furious Tsunade decides to see for herself the skills of this new 'Yellow Flash of Konoha.' You have a great battle outside the village, which ends in a draw—she can't even touch the corner of your clothes the entire time.]
[She questions you about where your Yin Seal came from. You, in your stubborn phase, say that your wife taught it to you. An annoyed Tsunade feels she is being teased, but she is helpless against you. You fight for a full day and finally agree to a truce.]
[Konoha will not interfere with your freedom, nor will it assign you missions, and agrees to let you move about the village and interact with its ninja. In return, you must allow Konoha to use your name and to step in to help when the village is in danger. You agree to this request.]
[From then on, you become a well-known, powerful idler in Konoha. The villagers have no complaints about this: on one hand, you, a non-ninja, have already saved the village; on the other, Tsunade and Jiraiya used to be the same way. Now, Tsunade has just been replaced by you.]
Seeing this, he felt refreshed. Being stubborn really did work, on the condition that Danzō and Hiruzen were both gone. Hiruzen didn't need to be considered; Orochimaru would naturally take care of him. As for Danzō... although the way he was dealt with this time was good, there was still the hidden danger of him surviving. What if Hiruzen's heart softened, or if he had a burst of power and sealed Danzō along with Orochimaru? Then he would have a headache for a while.
So, when the time came, he would have to deal with Danzō himself.
[In the following years, you live according to your existing plans. The matter between you, Kurenai, and Anko is gradually discovered by people, but no one dares to say anything more. Asuma also does not come to trouble you again, even though you are still pursuing Ino from his team.]
[Ino is also troubled by her relationship with you. Because you already have two wives, is it really appropriate for her, as the next head of the Yamanaka clan, to get involved with you? But faced with your years-long flower offensive, plus your promise to let your child bear the Yamanaka name, she slowly agrees to it in her heart.]
[At the same time, you continue to maintain a good relationship with Moegi, visiting her house every week under the pretext of checking on her grandmother's health. As Moegi grows up, she also begins to wonder why your relationship with her is so good, her small head filled with great incomprehension.]
[Konoha 68: The Immortal Duo appears. Asuma leads his team in pursuit and is heavily wounded. At the critical moment, Ino uses a pre-arranged distress signal to notify you. You arrive in time and use your medical ninjutsu to save his life.]
[Seeing that it was you who saved him, Asuma finally resolves the knot in his heart and thanks you. Ino also can no longer suppress her feelings and kisses you passionately. This makes Asuma's face very ugly, but in the end, he dejectedly accepts his defeat.]
He blinked, not taking the time to savor or laugh at Asuma's mood. He was more curious: how had Ino notified him in time? Did the Flying Thunder God Technique have that function?
