[Simulation begins!]
[Carrying talents: Time Machine, You Have a Father, Puppet Master]
[The wind howls, yellow sand fills the sky.]
[Dark clouds cover the sky, making the night even darker.]
[A woman lies on a bed, legs apart, biting a piece of cloth, using all the strength in her body.]
[Finally, after a long and difficult struggle, the little one who had been kicking inside her belly slides out from her body.]
[You are born into this wondrous world.]
'It really is Sunagakure.'
Whether from the description or the simulation images, they told Takumi that this was the Land of Wind, most of which was covered by desert.
The Land of Wind possessed the largest territory in the entire Shinobi World, but its usable resources were the fewest among the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
At the same time, their overall strength was perennially at the bottom of the list.
Throughout history, multiple Kazekage, in order to change this awkward situation in the Land of Wind, had consistently hoped to invade their fertile neighbor, the Land of Fire.
The Land of Fire had extremely fertile land, not only suitable for farming but also with a much more pleasant climate.
Unlike the Land of Wind.
Every day, either it was windy, or it was very windy.
No change at all.
Although living there for a long time, one would unconsciously develop a attachment,
But who doesn't have a longing for a better life in their heart?
[You quickly adapt to the fact of your transmigration and begin observing the world you are in.]
[Soon, through a few familiar people, you learn which world you are in and your current location.]
[You become Chiyo's grandson, and your name is not Sasori, so you become the elder brother of the yet-to-be-born Sasori.]
[This discovery gives you a sense of urgency.]
[Because in a few years, due to the war, your parents will die at the hands of Konoha's Hatake Sakumo.]
[As their son, you absolutely cannot let this happen.]
[You know very well that even if you told the truth, it would be very difficult to gain the recognition of the adults. They would only think you were joking to make them stay by your side.]
[So, to prevent this, you can only rely on yourself.]
[Currently still an infant, unable even to walk, all you can do is observe.]
'Although he's a Transmigrator, he is still a child carried for ten months and born through a life-and-death struggle.'
'Blood ties cannot be faked.'
'Perhaps because of the Transmigration, his heart cannot fully identify with them, but this cannot be a reason to ignore their life and death.'
'Moreover, in that chaotic era, possessing strength is the only way to have a voice.'
Takumi looked at the little Takumi in the simulation image, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Not worry about his inability to grow, but worry about his inability to protect his mother in this life.
The loneliness of an orphan, he had already tasted it; it was not a fond memory.
'Come on, work hard to change your destiny, be the master of your own fate.'
[As a puppetry family, not only is your grandmother Chiyo a very famous Puppet Master, but even your parents are skilled hands at manipulating puppets.]
[From a young age, you are immersed in the environment, watching them tinker with various puppets. You carefully observe their maintenance and upkeep work.]
[Born into such a family, you are very clear that your future path is inseparable from puppetry.]
[And you soon discover that you can learn those maintenance techniques just by watching them once. You can even deduce more convenient and effective methods.]
[But since you cannot speak yet, you can only wait for the day you can speak.]
[During this time, not only do you learn puppet making and maintenance through observation, but your mind is also filled with all sorts of whimsical ideas.]
'Puppetry still has great potential for development.'
Takumi had to admit that at least Sasori had elevated puppetry to a higher level.
That was placing the user inside the puppet, using the puppet's body to protect the user.
In the past, puppeteers needed to hide in the shadows, carefully manipulating puppets with Chakra Threads.
Once discovered and engaged at close range by an enemy, they would be in a very dangerous state.
But Sasori hiding his real body within a puppet was undoubtedly another form of protection.
Any attack that couldn't break through the puppet's defense couldn't threaten the puppeteer.
Of course, going as extreme as Sasori did, turning himself into a puppet, was a bit too shocking.
[You think about the puppets your yet-to-be-born younger brother will create in the future and feel they can be further improved.]
[As long as you continuously increase the puppet's defensive power, the puppet itself becomes the main defensive line protecting the puppeteer.]
[First, you need to find ways to improve the puppet's defensive power. Without confirming your aptitude for Ninjutsu, you cannot consider using Ninjutsu in the future to enhance the puppet's defense.]
[You can only use other methods to reinforce the puppet, without sacrificing its flexibility.]
[A flood of ideas surge into your mind. You eagerly await the day you can finally operate with your own hands.]
'I have a feeling something interesting will happen.'
A hint of an inexplicable smile appeared on Takumi's face.
He guessed little Takumi's idea.
After all, little Takumi's thinking was similar to his own. Without the influence of system talents, there basically wouldn't be much deviation.
It was just a matter of sooner or later realizing the idea.
If little Takumi really made what he imagined, it might just fulfill a man's dream for Takumi.
[After an arduous wait of a year and a half, you can run on the ground and also speak complete sentences at a slow pace.]
[At this time, you begin to show great enthusiasm for puppets.]
[And when you come into contact with puppets, you discover that you seem to have a very high talent for making them. You don't forget any operation you've seen once, and you don't make mistakes.]
[Your body even seems to understand faster than your brain, more accurately assembling puppet parts together.]
[This discovery astounds your parents and Chiyo, who regard you as something special.]
[It is also at this time that your younger brother, Sasori is born.]
'Sasori of the Red Sand, I wonder if he can still earn that title in this life.'
Takumi felt a sense of anticipation.
After all, little Takumi was born earlier than Sasori, and his talent for puppetry was definitely stronger than Sasori's.
When he eventually made a name for himself, maybe the title 'Sasori of the Red Sand' would fall on little Takumi.
But, nothing had happened yet. Perhaps little Takumi's title would be even more famous.
After all, little Takumi's puppetry talent was Black grade.
Talents of this level, when trained to the extreme, could all become figures who influence the entire Shinobi World.
Not something a mere Sasori of the Red Sand could compare to.
[Your parents worry that you might feel jealous about your younger brother's birth, so they dote on you even more.]
[Having an adult soul, you are well aware of their thoughts. You act very maturely and don't cause them any concern.]
[And you know that time is short for you; you need to quickly convert your talent into sufficient strength to protect your parents in this life.]
[So, at less than two years old, you begin your first puppet creation.]
[However, some steps require adult assistance, so you have your parents accompany the newborn Sasori, while you ask your grandmother Chiyo for help.]
[And Chiyo is also shocked by your astonishing ideas, doing her utmost to assist you in making the puppet.]
[Finally, a month later, the puppet co-created by you and Chiyo is born.]
[Its appearance completely changes the landscape of Sunagakure's puppeteers.]
[Because it is a puppet that requires the puppeteer to control from inside.]
