[Having gotten your wish to graduate, you immediately follow your eager brother, Guy, to the front lines.]
[At this time, the war is already nearing its end.]
[Probably in another year or two, this prolonged war will cease.]
[If it continues, one of the Five Great Nations might be erased from existence.]
[Skirmishes continue, but casualties have begun to decline.]
[You know that in another year or two, this war will stop.]
[The Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato, who made a brilliant name for himself on the battlefield, will become the next Hokage.]
[You don't care about this; the only thing you care about is whether your family remains intact.]
[The work of a Genin is not complex, but it is also filled with danger. After all, this is a battlefield; anything can happen.]
[Your team goes from being unfamiliar at first to gradually becoming accustomed to life on the battlefield. Many things happen during this time.]
[You become accustomed to seeing corpses – enemies and allies alike.]
[On the third day of being on the battlefield, you kill a person with your own hands. Although it feels terrible inside, being mentally prepared, you don't embarrass yourself by vomiting on the battlefield like some.]
[The battlefield is a very good teacher.]
[As long as you survive, you can definitely learn a lot of knowledge that you couldn't learn in school.]
[The prerequisite is that you can survive.]
'The cruelty of war knows no path.'
Takumi's expression darkened somewhat. 'The strong start wars, but it's always the weak who suffer.'
As long as there are people, true peace cannot be achieved in this world.
People have emotions and desires.
They are always manipulated by their desires.
Humans are greedy, wanting to possess everything they see.
And this is the reason why wars occur.
Because of greed.
In general, humans possess the highest intelligence among all animals.
But they often do things that are worse than beasts.
[Before you know it, a year has passed on the battlefield.]
[You have not forgotten your purpose for coming to the battlefield.]
[But you don't know when that battle will come.]
[However, one sudden afternoon, seven strangely shaped Shinobi appear before you, each carrying a strange weapon.]
[You immediately perk up, because before you are precisely the Seven Ninja Swordsmen you have been waiting for.]
[The fated battle has finally arrived.]
[Your numbers are not small; compared to them, you have three or four times as many people.]
[But in terms of quality, the gap is huge. After all, you are all just a group of Genin.]
[And they are all Elite Jonin.]
[The combat power gap is enormous.]
[Your strength is considerable; you can even hold your own against any one of them without falling behind.]
[But there are seven enemies, and you can only handle one or two at most simultaneously.]
[You can only watch helplessly as your comrades, who fought alongside you, fall.]
[After all, they were comrades you fought with; watching them fall one by one with eyes wide open in death, you feel anger surge into your mind.]
[You recklessly open the Eight Gates, opening the fourth gate in one go.]
[All aspects of your physical fitness immediately increase rapidly. Coupled with your powerful Armament Haki, you shatter the Kubikiribocho with one punch, sending both the blade and its wielder flying far away.]
[Then you move swiftly like a phantom, and your powerful fists are unstoppable.]
[The arrogant Seven Ninja Swordsmen are routed by your hands.]
[When your anger subsides, four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have fallen on the field, and the remaining three have disappeared without a trace.]
[Thus, you become famous in a single battle.]
[The Konoha Taijutsu prodigy single-handedly fights the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, killing four and driving off three.]
[This achievement shocks the entire Shinobi World.]
[And you are immediately summoned back to the village.]
[Hiruzen is worried that something might happen to you on the battlefield.]
[You become Konoha's new generation hero.]
[And the most crucial point is that you are very young, yet you were able to fight the renowned Seven Ninja Swordsmen, even killing four of them.]
[For this, you have to marvel at the combination of Armament Haki and the Eight Gates.]
[By opening only the fourth gate, you achieved what Duy could only do by opening the eighth.]
[Pure Taijutsu can also reach its ultimate form.]
[If one day, you also open the Eight Gates Formation, perhaps even Kaguya would not be your match.]
[Two years later, the war subsides.]
[All the Shinobi Villages suffer heavy losses, but thinking of the upcoming peaceful days, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.]
[If this war continued, no one could bear it.]
[Because of your outstanding performance in the war, you are exceptionally promoted to Jonin of Konoha.]
[Even though you are only ten years old now.]
[The strength you have displayed has already conquered everyone.]
'Next comes the relatively peaceful period.'
Takumi rubbed his chin, recalling the situation during this period.
'By the way, the war is over. Does that mean Obito has already been taken away by Uchiha Madara?'
The simulation process never showed the situation of Kakashi, Obito, and others.
Firstly, because little Takumi was on a different part of the battlefield than them.
Secondly, little Takumi didn't pay attention to them.
Even if Obito was taken away and tricked, it didn't need much attention.
As long as he was prepared on the day Naruto was born, that was enough.
As long as he didn't let Obito release the Nine-Tails sealed within Kushina, he couldn't cause any trouble.
What really needed attention was the millennia-old schemer hiding in the shadows, Black Zetsu.
After all, he was the true culprit who plotted everything.
[The Shinobi World returns to peace, but no one cheers or celebrates.]
[All the people of Konoha gather at the cemetery to mourn the Shinobi who died in the war.]
[Everyone has a solemn expression. Some shed tears, stifling their sobs.]
[Hiruzen stands before everyone, leading the bow, then turns and begins his solemn speech.]
[You don't pay attention; it's just that Will of Fire stuff.]
[The Will of Fire might fool others, but you're not buying it.]
[Afterwards, your days become much more uneventful.]
[Although the Shinobi World returns to peace, peace does not belong to Shinobi.]
[After all, Shinobi need to carry out missions, and they inevitably face conflict and casualties.]
[A Shinobi's life is permeated with death and life.]
[Although you are only ten years old, you deeply feel this.]
[Hiruzen, worried that you might be targeted by other villages, doesn't let you leave the village for missions. Instead, he assigns you to the Anbu.]
[This is both to train you and to protect you.]
