"Another beautiful sunny day."
Konoha.
Kurenai's home.
Takumi opened the window, looked at the bright, sunny weather outside, and stretched.
On the big bed behind him.
Kurenai was sleeping soundly.
"Such rare good weather. Let me see if there are any idiots coming to find me today."
"System, start targeted simulation."
[Simulation starting!]
[9:00 AM: Sasuke appears, pestering you to teach him Susano'o. You decisively refuse.]
'That's right. Wouldn't spending time with the girls be better?'
Takumi nodded, planning to see the arrangements for the rest of the day.
[10:00 AM: You accompany Sakura and Ino on a stroll.]
'That's more like it.;'
'What's the point of spending time with a guy?'
'Besides, what needed to be taught has already been taught.'
[11:00 AM: You see a distress signal and immediately rush over. Then you discover the attacker is Kimimaro.]
[You take action decisively and subdue Kimimaro.]
[1:00 PM: You return to the village. This attack doesn't cause much commotion.]
[Most villagers don't even know what happened.]
[3:00 PM: Finish a day of strolling and return home to spend time intimately with Kurenai.]
[5:00 PM: Have a sumptuous dinner with Kurenai.]
[7:00 PM: After bathing, you enjoy a wonderful evening.]
"Kimimaro, huh..."
Takumi rubbed his chin.
The Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai is indeed pretty amazing.
But...
'My opponents now are members of the Akatsuki. And the Akatsuki's members are even strengthening themselves to deal with me.'
'A small fry like Kimimaro really isn't worth my attention.'
'However, using my current power to deal with him seems like overkill. The simulation cooldown has just refreshed, so let's see if I can get a suitable ability to handle him.'
It's not that Takumi looks down on Kimimaro.
It's just that his power has unconsciously grown to a point that cannot be ignored.
Just look at who his opponents are now.
Either Jinchuriki or S-Rank Missing-nin like Akatsuki's members.
Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku is good, but he's afflicted with illness.
If Takumi remembers correctly, Kimimaro at this time is already about to die from that hereditary disease.
'Perhaps I can do something about that.'
Takumi felt there might be room for manipulation here, but he wasn't sure if it would go as planned.
If not, it doesn't matter much. It's just a casual attempt.
Someone like Kimimaro couldn't possibly cause too much trouble anyway.
'System, start simulation.'
Since this was just a casual simulation, Takumi didn't use Incredible Luck to boost his luck.
Incredible Luck paired with simulation is for desperate situations.
Using it here would be a waste.
As his words fell, the system's huge roulette wheel appeared before him.
Countless talents occupied grids of various sizes on it.
Takumi hadn't even counted how many talents there were.
Anyway, there were many.
[Ding! Drawing talents for you!]
The system's wheel spun.
Three seconds later.
The pointer stopped.
[Ding! Drawing successful!]
[You have drawn the talents: You Have a Father (White), Magnet Release (Black)]
'A white background talent and a black combat talent.'
'Not bad.'
'If things go smoothly, I'll use this Magnet Release to deal with Kimimaro.'
'And Magnet Release...'
'If used well, it can have very peculiar effects.'
'Maybe I can showcase some novel ideas then.'
'As soon as the thought crossed Takumi's mind, he became eager to try.'
[Simulation starting!]
[Carried talents: You Have a Father, Magnet Release]
[The wind whistles, yellow sand fills the sky.]
[Hot wind blows on people's dry faces, bringing them scorching heat.]
[On this sweltering day, you are born into this wondrous world.]
[Your parents are just an ordinary couple, one of countless such pairs in this world.]
[They cannot give you any advantage in this world, but they can give you a warm family.]
[You grow up carefree until you reach the age suitable for training.]
[You are sent to the Academy and become a Shinobi trainee.]
'Judging by the description, this should be in the Land of Wind?'
Takumi guessed.
Only the Shinobi Villages of the Five Great Nations have Academy.
Other Shinobi Villages are too small, lacking enough students, and mostly teach through master-apprentice relationships.
[On your first day entering the Academy, you notice a familiar face. Though she is very young, the same age as you, you know what she will look like in the future.]
[So you take the initiative and sit next to her.]
["Hello, I'm Takumi. Nice to meet you." You generously extend your hand, but all you get is an eye-roll from her.]
[You don't mind, because you are just a commoner, while she is the daughter of the Yondaime Kazekage… Temari.]
[There is a huge status gap between you, and you were just trying your luck.]
[However, what you didn't anticipate is that this huge status gap soon narrowed considerably.]
[During teaching, you unexpectedly display a talent for Magnet Release Ninjutsu, attracting Rasa's attention.]
[After personally testing you, Rasa decides to become your teacher and instruct you in everything about Magnet Release.]
[Thus, you become Rasa's disciple, instantly narrowing the gap with Temari.]
'It really is the Land of Wind. And with Magnet Release talent, attracting Rasa's attention is normal.'
'After all, there are too few elite talents in the Land of Wind. Having someone with a Kekkei Genkai like Magnet Release is undoubtedly very beneficial for the village.'
'Moreover, both the Sandaime Kazekage and the Yondaime Kazekage are Magnet Release users.'
'Maybe I can even become the Godaime Kazekage this time.'
Takumi couldn't help but smile.
Although it's only a white-level background talent, Magnet Release has a natural geographical advantage in the Land of Wind.
Things will probably go smoothly from now on.
[You are very excited about becoming Rasa's disciple, not just because you can learn powerful Magnet Release, but also because you can legitimately get close to Temari.]
[In your spare time while learning from Rasa, you spend most of your time trying to get close to Temari.]
[Today, a small gift… tomorrow, sharing interesting anecdotes.]
[Temari isn't very receptive to you at first, but as your Magnet Release talent becomes apparent, she gradually begins to change her opinion.]
[Temari respects the strong and scorns the weak, but she doesn't bully the weak.]
[When you show the talent to become strong, she naturally is willing to be friends with you.]
[But you don't just want to be her friend.]
