[The war lasted for several years and was gradually coming to an end.]
[Finally, the final major battle between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire was about to begin.]
[After hearing the news, you immediately made preparations.]
[You quietly followed behind Hanzo, waiting for the opportunity to arrive.]
[Soon, the opportunity you were hoping for quietly appeared.]
[The battle between Hanzo and Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade began.]
[Hanzo displayed strength worthy of his title Demigod. Powerful poison attacks and wide-ranging Water Release Ninjutsu kept Jiraiya and the other two on their toes.]
[The four soon summoned their respective summoning partners.]
[And at that moment, you, hiding in the shadows, immediately acted, summoning Gamabunta, Manda, and Katsuyu in front of you.]
[Losing their summons suddenly shocked Jiraiya and the other two immensely, but they had no time to think about why.]
[Because they had to face the Demigod, Hanzo, and his giant salamander that could quickly spread poison.]
[At that moment, you also controlled Gamabunta and the others to counterattack Jiraiya and the other two.]
[With your assistance from the side, Hanzo won the battle against Jiraiya and the other two. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade escaped severely injured, and the Konoha's Shinobi suffered heavy losses.]
[The Land of Rain won the Second Shinobi World War.]
'This is the feeling!'
Takumi couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the shocked and confused, dumbfounded expressions on Jiraiya and the others' faces, Takumi felt the long wait was not in vain.
'This is exactly the right flavor!'
[For achieving victory, you could be said to be indispensable.]
[Hanzo was very pleased and took you, Konan, and the others under his wing for training.]
[Although the war temporarily subsided, you knew that in a few years, war would break out again.]
[You wanted to completely end the wars in the Shinobi World before that next war.]
[And what you needed to achieve all this was to unify the Shinobi World!]
[You quickly established your goal and worked hard for it in secret.]
[To train your talent, Hanzo specially gave you a mansion with a large courtyard, in recognition of your contributions in the war.]
[But you didn't plan to use this place, because your next target was Hanzo himself.]
[So, your subsequent actions couldn't let him detect anything.]
[To increase your strength, and also to increase your self-preservation ability, you began constantly trying to summon other famous and powerful summoned beasts.]
[You spent a month summoning Sandaime Hokage's summoned beast, Enma.]
[Then spent half a year successfully summoning Gamabunta and the other two along with Enma simultaneously.]
[As you expected, as you grew older, your talent also kept growing. The restrictions on summoning multiple types of creatures simultaneously were gradually loosening.]
[Previously, it took three years to summon Gamabunta and the others simultaneously.]
[Now, in just half a year, you added Enma.]
[This speed exceeded your expectations and made you more confident in your plan.]
'Is it about to accelerate?'
Takumi's heart was full of anticipation.
'What will be summoned next?'
Takumi had some guesses but still hoped to see it concretely in the simulation.
That way, he would have some assurance.
[You continue trying to summon and successfully summon more summoned beasts.]
[For example, the astonishingly defensive Five Rashomon Gates was even summoned, or Danzo's summoned beast, Baku, etc.]
[One by one, the famous and powerful summoned beasts of the Shinobi World were all summoned by you. And in just three short years, you could already summon and control them simultaneously.]
[After accomplishing all this, you believed your talent had reached a certain height.]
[You decided to summon an extremely powerful target: the Outer Path Statue.]
[But you still underestimated the resistance to summoning the Outer Path Statue.]
[The Outer Path Statue's power was too strong, far exceeding your other summons. Even summoning the Outer Path Statue alone was unsuccessful.]
[The thick barrier you felt made you understand that successfully summoning the Outer Path Statue would probably be impossible in the short term.]
[But you didn't shrink back. If you gave up when encountering difficulties, you would have long become an unnoticeable one among the masses.]
[You absolutely could not have helped Hanzo defeat Jiraiya and the other two, allowing the Land of Rain to win the Second Shinobi World War.]
'That's right, this is me!'
Takumi's face was full of self-satisfaction.
'The symbol of diligence and hard work!'
'Enduring hardship and hard work without complaint.'
'Just to reach the desired goal.'
'Even thousands of difficulties and dangers cannot stop my will!'
[You begin persevering in your attempts. If once doesn't work, try ten times.]
[If ten times don't work, try a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand times.]
[Until you succeed.]
[Day after day, month after month, year after year.]
[A full four years pass, and you finally succeed.]
[The Outer Path Statue is summoned by you!]
[While surprised and happy, you are also very shocked.]
[Because you discover that simultaneously summoned is actually Madara, who was attached to the Outer Path Statue receiving life force replenishment.]
[Madara is equally very shocked. He didn't expect to be suddenly summoned away while peacefully staying underground.]
[But then, what you do plunges him into despair.]
[You are clear of Madara's strength. Even though he is now elderly, the pressure from those Rinnegan is still suffocating.]
[You immediately attempt to control the Outer Path Statue.]
[Perhaps because the Outer Path Statue has no self-awareness, your control encounters no obstruction.]
[But after the Outer Path Statue was brought out from underground, it accidentally severed the nutrient tubes connected to Madara's back, cutting off the life force supplied to him.]
["No!" Madara lets out a despairing cry.]
[Without the life force provided by the Outer Path Statue, Madara's body decays at a visible to the naked eye speed, eventually completely losing signs of life.]
'That scared me!'
'Luckily it was resolved, otherwise the simulation might have ended accidentally.'
'The situation is very favorable this time.'
'If it ended unclearly like that, it would be such a pity.'
[Summoning the Outer Path Statue and incidentally solving the big trouble of Madara, your next plan is ready to be executed.]
[But to be safe, you plan to go a step further.]
[You prepare to summon the Sages of the Three Holy Lands.]
[As Sages who have existed since the time of Otsutsuki Kaguya, their strength is undoubtable.]
[Even the Sage of Six Paths' Senjutsu was taught by the Great Toad Sage.]
[Although the Outer Path Statue has massive Chakra and, once awakened into the Jubi, possesses very powerful strength…]
[But the Outer Path Statue has no consciousness, and Senjutsu Chakra is a higher level of energy. Naturally, the Sages' strength is higher than the Outer Path Statue's.]
[If you can summon the Sages of the Three Holy Lands, then no one in this world will be able to stop your footsteps.]
[You begin your attempts.]
