[At the cost of your own life, you forged a forever unbreakable prison for Moryo.]
[The world would never again be threatened by Moryo.]
[And you fell into a deep, long sleep.]
The simulation ended.
Takumi silently watched the darkened screen.
He had watched the final process without a word, able to feel the heaviness in little Takumi's heart.
This was the fastest death in his recent simulation results.
Only about ten years old.
But what he had done was absolutely not simple.
The demon Moryo, which threatened the entire Shinobi World, under little Takumi's self-sacrifice, would completely be unable to break through the multiple layers of seals he had set.
The Miko lineage would no longer need to bear the heavy mission.
Although little Takumi hadn't done things like unifying the Shinobi World, and hadn't even contacted any famous figures in the Shinobi World,
The impact he had on the Shinobi World was still significant.
Completely sealing Moryo was a very astonishing feat.
Although his life was short, it had been glorious.
The only pity Takumi felt was that the system hadn't detailed the things little Takumi did when unconscious and controlled by Moryo's power.
Perhaps it was too cruel, or perhaps too hard to accept.
Anyway.
This simulation was over.
He should be able to obtain the power to counter Moryo as desired.
[Ding! Simulation ended!]
[Calculating results...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation score: A!]
'Only A?'
Takumi frowned slightly. Although he had expected it, seeing the result was indeed A, he still felt a bit disappointed.
Ultimately, the stage this time wasn't the entire Shinobi World.
It was mostly within the neutral country of the Land of Demons.
Even completely sealing Moryo wasn't that significant an event for the Shinobi World.
After all, there was the Miko.
Even if he hadn't sealed Moryo, with the Miko around, Moryo couldn't have caused too much trouble.
Overall, the stage was just too small.
[Ding! Given that your simulation score this time reached A.]
[You can choose 1 of the following rewards:]
[1. Lifelong mastery of Sacred Arts power.]
[2. Lifelong accumulated Chakra amount.]
[3. Ten monsters under contract.]
From the three results, number two was an immediate rejection.
Considering between number one and number three, Takumi decided to choose number one.
'I choose number one...'
Just as he was about to make his choice, he quickly paused.
He suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask the system in his mind: 'If I obtain the sacred arts power, will I suffer the same situation as little Takumi?'
'For example, having voices appear in my mind, etc.'
[No.]
[All rewards selected by this system have been purified and will not cause any adverse reactions in the host.]
Satisfied with the answer, Takumi immediately chose the first reward.
Instantly, all the sacred arts knowledge little Takumi had trained was instilled into his mind, along with the methods for using sacred arts.
Simply put, the relationship between sacred arts and Chakra was like Natural Energy and Chakra. Mixed in a certain proportion, they could form a new power.
That was sacred arts.
Of course, sacred arts definitely couldn't compare to Senjutsu Chakra.
After all, Senjutsu Chakra was almost universal.
And sacred arts Chakra only had a special effect on monsters; its actual effect against humans wasn't particularly good, no different from ordinary Ninjutsu.
But this was exactly what Takumi wanted.
With sacred arts energy, combined with his vast Chakra Reserve, what did he have to fear from a mere Moryo?
Impossible!
Although the simulation had ended, Takumi was still resting with his eyes closed.
Over there, Neji had just finished explaining the situation to Naruto and the others.
The room quickly fell silent.
Only the faint sounds of the camera filming.
An hour passed.
Takumi suddenly opened his eyes.
Not only him, Neji, who had also been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes as well.
The moment they opened their eyes, there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
Naruto, sleepily rubbing his eyes, sat up, with dried drool still at the corner of his mouth.
"Ew~ disgusting!"
Sakura moved away in disgust, coming to Takumi's side to hug his arm.
But Takumi happened to stand up at that moment, and she missed.
Takumi went forward and slid open the door. Before him stood unmistakably the Miko, Shion.
"Time to leave?"
Before Shion could speak, Takumi said directly.
Shion was momentarily stunned, thinking, 'I haven't spoken yet, how do you know?'
'Are you a prophet too?'
Seeing her expression, Takumi guessed what she was thinking.
"I'm not a prophet, but your behavior is easy enough to guess."
Takumi said, then took the lead. "If you don't want that subordinate of yours to catch up, you'd better leave now."
"Wait!"
Seeing Takumi about to leave, Shion was caught off guard.
"How do you know what I came to ask you?"
Shion grabbed Takumi, looking at him suspiciously. "Are you sure you are not a prophet?"
"Such a convenient ability, of course I'd like to have it."
Takumi shook his arm, but couldn't shake her off, so he gave up struggling and said calmly, "Alright, don't waste time."
"If we don't hurry, that subordinate of yours will catch up."
Saying this, ignoring Shion's wishes, he hugged her around the waist, leaped with force, and shot off at high speed.
Neji and the others quickly followed.
"Wait for us!
The cameraman shouted, but Takumi and the others had already become small dots, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Quick! Let's go too!
The cameraman could only shout to his crew, then personally picked up the camera and started running.
Then, they boarded a carriage and quickly chased in the direction Takumi and the others had gone.
"It really is just like Takumi said."
Naruto looked at Shion in surprise as they traveled.
"What are you looking at?"
Shion, clinging tightly to Takumi's neck, turned her head and, seeing Naruto's gaze, frowned and said.
"Nothing."
Naruto pouted and ignored her.
Beside them, Sakura gritted her teeth as she watched Shion being carried horizontally by Takumi, her eyes full of envy and jealousy.
If she had a little handkerchief, she would definitely be biting it in frustration.
But for now, she couldn't find fault with Shion.
After all, Shion was their protection target.
"Wait!"
Takumi stopped at a canyon, frowning. "This is the best route to the Land of Swamps, but it's also easy to set up an ambush here."
"Neji, be alert for ambushes."
He turned and instructed Neji.
"No problem."
Neji nodded, then activated his Byakugan to scan, confirming there were no ambushes within several miles. He then deactivated it. "Nothing."
"Good."
Takumi nodded, then picked up Shion and set off again.
The others followed closely.
