[Returning to Konoha, Minato informs all the village's higher-ups about this matter, and then awards you the highest level of reward.]
[Your sacrifice deserves your reward.]
[Having lost the ability to use Ninjutsu, you can no longer be called a Shinobi, and you no longer need to perform missions.]
[After that, you spend every day leisurely.]
[After Tsunade personally performs surgery, Obito takes back his Sharingan from Kakashi's eye to prevent it from continuing to be a burden on Kakashi.]
[And Kakashi, after the transplant, obtains a new eye.]
[Then, the two embark on a journey to find Black Zetsu and completely kill him to avenge Rin.]
[The Shinobi World returns to peace. Although there are occasional minor conflicts, this is the normal state of the Shinobi World.]
[Shinobi are always born for killing.]
[Having lost your identity as a Shinobi, your daily life becomes very limited.]
[Your favorite thing to do is go to the training ground and bully those geniuses.]
[Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto, and so on.]
[What you like most is seeing their expressions of unwillingness to admit defeat, yet being completely helpless against you.]
'Without the interference of the Nine-Tails, carrying the bloodline of Minato and Kushina, Naruto's talent is completely on par with Sasuke's.'
'Most importantly, Naruto's family is still alive. He didn't become that heartbreaking orphan.'
Takumi didn't know if this was good or bad for Naruto's future.
The dark experiences of childhood were certainly very painful for Naruto,
But they also forged Naruto's character.
Now, with everything going smoothly, although Naruto's personality is still kind, his ability to withstand hardship is probably much worse than the orphan Naruto's.
At this stage, there is no doubt it is a good thing.
No matter what the future holds, having his parents by his side is the greatest happiness for Naruto.
It is also a happiness that the Naruto in the real world seeks but cannot obtain.
'If only his parents could be revived, Naruto would probably not give up any opportunity.'
'What a pity, this is only a simulation, not reality.'
Takumi sighed softly.
But inwardly, he grew even more disdainful of Konoha's higher-ups.
However, now was not yet the time for him to step onto the stage.
After all, the biggest threat currently was still the Akatsuki and the deeply hidden Black Zetsu.
[As you gradually age, your body also begins to show some not so good signs.]
[Faint pains transmit from within your body to your brain, as if telling of the burden your body bears.]
[You know very well the origin of this pain.]
[The aftereffects of using the Eight Gates Formation are stronger than you imagined.]
[Even after more than ten years, your body has shown no improvement; instead, it has become increasingly fragile.]
[In the end, you are even forced to rely on a wheelchair to move.]
[Regarding this, your heart is filled with unwillingness.]
[Once upon a time, you were an existence able to stand up to the legendary Madara.]
[But now, you are only in your twenties, yet you are as fragile and weak as a sick person.]
[Armament Haki can protect your body's exterior, but the inside of your body is already decayed and weak.]
[This fragility is an unbearable mental torment for you.]
[As your mobility grows increasingly weak, you finally make a decision amidst the endless torment.]
[On a silent night, you come alone to the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon.]
[Tonight's scenery is very beautiful, making you can't help but immerse yourself in it.]
[Then, you slowly stand up from the wheelchair. Various parts of your body transmit unbearable pain, but you just look up at the night sky expressionlessly.]
["Today really is a nice day." You slowly sigh, looking up at the moon in the sky.]
[You stand like this in the courtyard. Although your body transmits various signals of pain, you remain completely unmoved.]
[You stand like this until the sun's rays gradually illuminate the earth from the horizon.]
[And when Guy comes out of his room, he sees your figure still standing straight.]
[At this moment, although your eyes are still open, you have long since ceased to breathe.]
[Even in death, you choose to leave standing.]
Simulation ended.
Takumi breathed a long sigh of relief.
This ending was somewhat unexpected for him.
He knew the aftereffects of the Eight Gates were serious.
So although he had learned the Eight Gates, he had firmly decided never to recklessly open the final gate.
And now, through the simulator, he had directly seen the consequences of using the Eight Gates.
This also strengthened his inner resolve.
Watching little Takumi grow bit by bit,
His body deteriorating day by day, eventually even relying on a wheelchair,
This gave Takumi a very deep sense of resistance.
Only those who have experienced the feeling of running can understand the indescribable despair of a body that can no longer move freely.
Takumi just didn't expect little Takumi to choose to end his own life.
Although, given little Takumi's physical condition, he didn't have many years left anyway.
If he couldn't die on the battlefield, at least he could look like a man in death.
This was perhaps little Takumi's final insistence.
Although the ending didn't involve ruling the Shinobi World or other greater achievements,
The act of directly confronting and killing Madara was enough to raise the score significantly.
And this was a simulation using "Incredible Luck"; he completely didn't need to worry about whether he would get a reward.
[Ding! Simulation ended!]
[Calculating results...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation score: A!]
'Only A?'
Takumi was a bit surprised.
The previous few times using "Incredible Luck" had all earned him S-rank scores.
This sudden A-rank score caught him off guard.
Fortunately, he could still choose rewards.
As long as he had Armament Haki, he wouldn't need to worry about Obito's sudden sneak attack sucking him into the Kamui Dimension.
After all, once sucked in, even with his numerous abilities, he probably couldn't fight Obito.
Thinking about it a bit, he suddenly felt that the A-rank score seemed not inappropriate.
Looking at the entire simulation process, little Takumi had done limited things.
The first thing was preventing his father from dying on the battlefield.
The second thing was preventing the Nine-Tails Rampage, and successfully turning Obito to fight against Black Zetsu.
The third thing was directly defeating Madara.
Though this was mostly due to Madara's carelessness.
After all, Madara still had many powers he hadn't displayed, and little Takumi was decisive enough.
Otherwise, with Madara's strength, little Takumi might not have succeeded.
No!
He should have been impossible to succeed.
Little Takumi seized the only opportunity.
Perhaps to get a higher score, he would have needed to ignore the Nine-Tails Rampage.
To buy more time to train himself.
With his Armament Haki, combined with the Eight Gates,
If he trained to the extreme, perhaps he would only need to open the seventh gate in the future to fight a Six Paths Madara.
Unfortunately, little Takumi did not let the disaster happen.
Although this ultimately led him to choose to end his own life,
Takumi felt that little Takumi in his heart did not regret what he had done back then.
