After disposing of Haido's body, they tied up the three unconscious knights and brought them to the lakeside. As for Temujin, Takumi gave him some simple treatment and then left him aside.
Temujin, being of royal blood with the Gelel Stone inside him, had a recovery ability comparable to Naruto's, who had the Nine-Tails and Uzumaki lineage.
Leaving him for one night, his injuries would mostly heal.
Just like when they found him today, his injuries from the previous night had mostly healed on their own.
But this time Takumi had hit him quite hard, mainly because he really looked down on Temujin.
Not only did he treat his enemy as a father figure, but he was also fooled into sacrificing his comrades.
Though not all of those comrades had died now.
After simple preparations, the group started a lively celebration.
"To celebrate the smooth filming of this movie, I propose that our protagonist Takumi-kun and leading actress Kazahana Koyuki-sama come up and say a few words!"
The director energized the atmosphere.
Shikamaru and the others, always eager for excitement, immediately started cheering.
Takumi was already used to this kind of scene.
Holding a juice confidently, he walked onto a simple makeshift stage.
In his other hand, he held Koyuki's small hand.
"Damn it!"
Sakura frantically bit her handkerchief below. "I want to hold Takumi-kun's hand too!"
Speaking of which,
Although Sakura and Ino often actively hugged Takumi's arm, they had never tried holding his hand.
Perhaps in their eyes, holding Takumi's hand was like making a promise.
At the very least, it couldn't be done casually.
When Takumi held their hand, it would definitely be a memorable day.
"So nice."
Hinata watched Koyuki with envy.
Not only could she stand so close to Takumi, but she also had the courage to stand before everyone.
Unlike her, even as the heiress of a great clan, she completely lacked that kind of courage.
Lost in thought, she unconsciously ate a huge amount.
Kiba and Shino were already used to it.
After all, they had seen this situation many times.
Every time they went out to eat, Takumi would let Hinata eat a lot.
The key point was that Hinata could always eat it all.
The first or second time might be surprising, but after many times, it wasn't so surprising anymore.
But for others, this scene was a bit too shocking.
Watching food taller than Hinata herself disappear into her mouth, yet her stomach showed no change at all.
"You can eat so much."
Naruto said, a bit envious and a bit curious.
'If I could eat this much too, I'd really like to eat more ramen, but unfortunately, I just can't.'
Naruto thought a bit greedily.
He completely couldn't imagine how damaging his words were to a shy girl like Hinata.
She had been hiding her identity as a big eater precisely because she was shy.
Now, exposed in front of everyone by Naruto, she blushed so deeply she looked about to faint.
"Naruto, if you can't speak, it's better not to say anything."
Kiba threatened with a deadpan stare.
Hinata was, after all, his teammate. This guy Naruto really didn't know how to talk.
"That's right, Naruto."
Shino also said calmly. "Some things don't need to be said out loud. Knowing them in your heart is enough."
"Ugh..."
Hinata whimpered, lowering her head even further.
"Hey, hey."
Kiba turned to look at Shino. "You shut up too."
"Both of you shut up."
Kurenai said helplessly. "Why are you so concerned about how much a girl eats? Just listen to what Takumi has to say."
She forcibly turned the three of them to face the direction of the simple stage.
Takumi and Koyuki stood side by side, each holding a microphone.
"Today, I am honored to have the director's favor and become the lead actor in this movie. I hope my performance can still satisfy the director."
Takumi spoke with a gentle smile. "Secondly, I am also very grateful to all the crew members who worked hard following us everywhere."
"Thank you all for your hard work."
Saying this, he bowed deeply towards the crew.
"Takumi-kun, you're the best!"
"You're the greatest lead actor!"
"Oh oh oh! Kiss!"
"Idiot! What are you saying!"
"Takumi-kun, will you play the lead actor again next time?"
The crew immediately burst into noisy shouts.
Among them were some teasing voices, as well as voices defending Koyuki.
After all, in their eyes, Koyuki was still their goddess.
The goddess was absolutely sacred and inviolable.
Even Takumi couldn't do that.
Of course,
They completely didn't know that their goddess had already developed feelings for Takumi and even had an intimate relationship.
"Thank you all for your kindness."
Takumi said with a smile. "If the director thinks I'm still acceptable, I'm ready to participate anytime. I think the director knows how to make me the lead actor."
He winked at the director, earning a loud laugh.
The director certainly knew what to do.
Just go to Konoha and register a request.
It would just cost a large sum of money.
He believed that after this movie was released, he would surely make a fortune.
"Next, I am very grateful to my comrades from Konoha for trusting me and assisting me and the crew in filming this movie. When the movie is released, I will treat you all to see it."
Takumi turned his gaze to the young Konoha's Genin. "You've worked hard too."
He bowed deeply again.
"Ah!"
Sakura let out a muffled scream, her face full of excitement. "Going to the movies alone with me!"
"Hey, hey."
Shikamaru looked helplessly at this irrational woman. "Takumi said everyone. Did you even listen to him?"
But obviously, Sakura had fallen into her fantasies and was ignoring everything around her.
"Leave her alone."
Kiba shrugged. "Just keep listening."
Takumi straightened up, looking at the crowd below watching him. For a moment, his chest felt a surge of enthusiasm.
But just then, he noticed Konan in the distance.
Seeing that Takumi had finally noticed her, Konan nodded slightly towards him, then her entire body turned into paper and flew away into the distance.
Takumi was momentarily distracted.
He didn't know if the plan he had set in motion for Konan had worked.
But judging from her final attitude, he felt it had probably had some effect.
He just didn't know how much.
Relying on such a small trick to make the Akatsuki stop assassinating him was definitely impossible.
But as long as Konan started leaning towards him, his plan could be considered successful.
If he could even turn Nagato, that would be an unexpected surprise.
But that possibility was just too low.
So low it was practically impossible.
