[Seeing Minato, you immediately hand the letter paper to him.]
[But during the previous battle, although you weren't hit, the letter paper has become tattered.]
[Your spirits immediately fall. This was your mission in coming here.]
["Don't take it to heart." Minato sees your disappointment and gently comforts you.]
["If it hadn't suddenly appeared, our situation would have been terrible." Kakashi has a feeling of having a narrow escape from death, because the enemies were very strong; the three of them alone would have been no match.]
["They were all Iwagakure's Jonin." Minato recognizes their identities and becomes even more grateful to you.]
["Give this letter to Kushina. Don't let her worry." Minato hands the letter he has written to you. You immediately flap your wings and soar high, flying towards Konoha.]
[Carrying the excitement of having changed history, you return to Kushina's side.]
["You went again?!" Kushina's face is full of shock. She didn't expect you to have gone to the battlefield again, and what surprises her even more is that you returned within a single day.]
[She looks at the letter paper in her hand. The handwriting on it is indeed familiar. This makes her even more astonished.]
[Feeling proud, you demonstrate your current speed to her.]
[Thus, Kushina finally stops worrying about your safety.]
[You become the messenger between her and Minato.]
'Unintentionally, I actually changed the outcome of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. What is Madara supposed to do now? He doesn't have many years left to live, right?'
Although this was a good thing, Takumi didn't show a happy expression.
Because if Madara wasn't dealt with, the matter wasn't over.
If he wanted to, on the chaotic battlefield, Madara had enough opportunities to cause trouble.
[You carry Kushina's letter and look for Minato.]
[However, you notice that Minato's expression doesn't look good.]
[Observing carefully, you realize someone is missing from the team.]
[Obito is gone.]
'Sure enough.'
Takumi's expression darkened.
With the key person, Obito, gone, the next step would be Rin, the one who could turn Obito dark.
Once something happened to Rin, Obito would still turn dark.
[You are powerless to do anything about this. Apart from being able to fly very fast, your body is not much different from an ordinary bat.]
[You continue your duties as a messenger. Your weakness drives you to continuously train your flight ability.]
[Because this is the only ability you have that surpasses others.]
[However, even as your speed increases, the destined moment still arrives.]
[Kakashi returns to Konoha, dejected.]
[Looking at him, you know something has happened.]
[Not long after, the Third Shinobi World War ends.]
[Konoha wins, but pays a heavy price.]
[Minato becomes the Fourth Hokage and marries Kushina.]
[Soon, they conceive a child.]
[Everything seems so beautiful and harmonious.]
[But in your eyes, the real crisis is just about to arrive.]
'The flight ability is ultimately just a supplementary ability.'
'Moreover, the bat's body is too weak. If I had an ability like devouring that could enhance my own strength, the outcome now might be much better.'
Takumi felt a bit helpless.
The pain of being unable to communicate verbally was right here.
As for communicating through writing...
The little bat had definitely thought about it, but its weak claws couldn't even hold a pen.
It had also tried dipping its claws in ink to write, but unable to control its body, the resulting scrawls were unreadable, nothing more than a child's doodles.
Kushina had never taken them seriously.
This was the most frustrating thing for the little bat.
He knew everything, but lacked the power to change it.
[Finally, the ultimate moment arrives.]
[Under heavy protective seals, Kushina begins her first childbirth.]
[Biwako and others carefully assist with the delivery. Outside, more than a dozen Anbu stand guard cautiously.]
[Everything seems foolproof, but you know they are all useless against Obito.]
[Hiding in the shadows, you are the only variable.]
[You wait silently for the figure that is sure to appear.]
[Finally, with a sudden swirling distortion, the masked Obito appears.]
[You don't make your move immediately. Instead, at the moment he finishes off everyone and reaches for Kushina, you suddenly appear.]
[This is your only chance. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to touch Obito, who can use Kamui.]
[You appear before Obito at incredible speed and claw out one of his eyes.]
[You succeed. You prevent Obito from unsealing her.]
[But your action cannot kill him; instead, it completely enrages him.]
["Get out of my way!" He angrily sends you flying. The powerful force breaks multiple bones throughout your body.]
[At this moment, you feel the end of your life approaching.]
[But you don't feel disappointed, because in your line of sight, a white cloak appears, with a clear number on the back: Four.]
[You close your eyes with satisfaction.]
'Is this... the end?'
Takumi stared for a moment. When he realized the simulation screen had gone completely dark and was preparing to calculate results, he snapped out of it.
'Judging by this situation, the score probably won't be high.'
'But still, it should at least be an A, considering I was able to utilize the flight ability to that extent, and in the end, I even clawed out one of Obito's eyes.'
'For a bat, that record is something to be proud of.'
'And this way of dying is like a hero. I wonder what the outcome was.'
'If nothing changed, then this life would have been too frustrating.'
He looked at the system's calculation interface.
For some reason, he felt a bit nervous inside.
He was afraid of getting a score below A.
If that happened, he would miss out on the flight ability that had finally appeared.
'But it doesn't matter either. It's only been a few years, right? Probably by morning, the cooldown will be ready.'
'At worst, I can do it again tomorrow morning. I can also use Incredible Luck again tomorrow.'
Thinking like this, Takumi stopped worrying.
Having calmed his mindset, his inner excitement also subsided.
[Ding! Simulation ended!]
[Calculating results...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation score: S!]
'S?!'
Takumi's eyes widened. His previously calmed heart suddenly pounded violently.
He had completely not expected such a high score.
He would have been very satisfied with an A.
After all, looking back on the little bat's entire life, he hadn't done many memorable things.
'No! It must be the last time! History was changed!'
Takumi suddenly remembered the last moment, the moment when history might have been changed.
Minato appeared and stopped Obito from releasing the Nine-Tails. As long as he and Kushina could survive, history would inevitably be greatly changed.
Only this situation could raise the score, which would have been at most an A, to an S.
'Regardless, the flight ability is now secure!'
Takumi forcibly suppressed his excitement. He didn't want to wake the girl in his arms again.
