Takumi let out a long sigh.
So unfortunate.
Clearly, he had such a good talent like Singular Resistance, but he died young.
Focusing only on increasing defense was indeed somewhat extreme.
And the birthplace this time couldn't be considered great.
The first time this talent appeared, he directly became Shisui's younger brother.
Later, he directly controlled the entire clan, creating hundreds of pairs of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and directly ruled the entire Shinobi World.
The second time, the evasion ability trained through this talent also helped the simulation end smoothly with a natural death.
But this time, he died young at barely over ten years old.
It was truly a pity.
Even with the Impure World Reincarnation this time, the rating probably wouldn't be high.
[Ding! Simulation ended!]
[Settling results...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation's rating is A!]
An A-rank rating was also within expectations.
But Takumi's eyes were still filled with unwillingness.
However, he couldn't control the simulation process or result.
The rating that appeared was completely random.
No matter how unwilling he was, he could only accept it.
'Even though the defense was so strong, sigh...'
'The development time was too short, and I encountered Pain too early.'
'The power of the Rinnegan is too strong.'
Takumi shook his head and sighed.
Then he looked up at the rewards listed by the system.
[Ding! Since your simulation rating reached A.]
[You can choose 1 reward from the following:]
[1. The steel skin forged through a lifetime of devouring (can be turned on and off at will)]
[2. The accumulated chakra amount from a lifetime.]
[3. Eating habits.]
'Hey, system, what does this eating habits mean? If I choose it, I can eat dirt?'
Takumi asked, his face covered in black lines.
[Correct.]
'I don't want to eat dirt. Eating dirt won't add corresponding characteristics.'
'Choose the first reward.'
Takumi complained once, then decisively chose the reward.
Just after obtaining the steel skin, Takumi immediately couldn't wait to try it out.
Whoosh!
With a sound,Takumi immediately felt the change in his body.
Thump thump.
He tapped his arm with his finger, producing a very hard, dull sound.
'This hardness!'
He impatiently took out a kunai and forcefully scraped it across his arm.
Not even a white mark appeared!
'This is too strong!'
Takumi's face was full of joy.
'Not enough yet.'
Takumi was full of delight.
But he knew that with his own strength, he couldn't test the limit of the steel skin.
Coincidentally, he had suitable people around him.
Just then, Tsunade came looking for him, planning to cook for him.
But this time, Tsunade clearly felt something was off.
Even though she hadn't changed into that outfit yet, Takumi's gaze towards her was very intense.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tsunade couldn't quite handle Takumi's intense stare and couldn't help but step back slightly.
'Could this kid be thinking about...?'
Tsunade's face turned red.
'It's not like it's not allowed...'
But Takumi had no idea what Tsunade was thinking right now.
He just wanted to test the limit of the steel skin.
And Tsunade's monstrous strength was an excellent test target.
"That, Tsunade, I just learned a secret technique that can improve my own defense, so I wanted to..."
Takumi's eyes intensely stared at Tsunade's slender fists.
Although these hands were very soft, and the feeling of them pressing on the body was intoxicating, he also knew…
If the owner of these hands used her full strength, his small house would probably collapse instantly.
"So that's it." Tsunade's expression immediately returned to normal.
'Sigh.'
'What was I thinking…'
Tsunade felt speechless internally, a dead-fish expression appearing on her face.
"So, what do you want me to do?"
Tsunade said somewhat impatiently: "If I use my full strength, you might not be able to handle it."
"Just a simple test."
Takumi said with a grin.
Afterwards, Takumi pulled Tsunade to the village training ground.
On the way, they coincidentally met Kurenai, who was also coming to the training ground to train.
"You two are...?"
Kurenai was somewhat surprised.
'Tsunade-sama would come to the training ground?'
'Was she going to give Takumi special training?'
"It's like this..."
Takumi briefly explained the situation and said with a smile: "Just right, Kurenai, you're here too. Please help test me as well."
He could have Kurenai test first.
After her test, then have Tsunade test.
It's perfect!
"No problem." Kurenai nodded.
First, Kurenai started the test.
"I'll start with low-level Ninjutsu."
Kurenai gave an advance notice.
A gentle breeze brushed over the ground, stirring up a bit of dust.
It was approaching dusk, and no one was around.
Takumi, with a bit of nervousness, stood in place and prepared.
But he suddenly thought of something and quickly shouted: "Wait a moment!"
Kurenai immediately stopped her hand seals.
Then she saw Takumi take off his upper clothes.
"That… my defense secret technique only works on the skin."
Takumi explained.
He prepared again.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Strong wind pressure rushed towards his face.
But...
"This Ninjutsu has no damage."
Takumi said helplessly.
Kurenai's face turned red.
'Wasn't it because I was worried you couldn't handle it?'
But she also felt this technique really couldn't test defense.
Subsequently, Kurenai used other Wind Release Ninjutsu to test Takumi's defense.
The Wind Release, with its extremely strong cutting ability, actually couldn't leave a single mark on Takumi's body.
Only then did the two women take it seriously.
A moment later, the entire training ground was covered with traces of howling winds.
Several long, narrow cracks showed that the ninjutsu Kurenai used was quite powerful.
Although she became a Tokubetsu Jonin through Genjutsu, Kurenai still knew some basic elemental techniques.
"So amazing."
Kurenai was slightly out of breath.
She had used over a dozen Wind Release Ninjutsu in succession, gradually increasing the power.
But Takumi stood in place from beginning to end without moving.
The sharp wind blades scraping against him left no trace at all.
'Such strong defense.'
'Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths!'
Kurenai was secretly shocked.
"It seems your secret technique is indeed very powerful." Tsunade nodded calmly, acknowledging Takumi's current defense.
"Next, if you can withstand one punch from me, then ordinary Ninjutsu will be ineffective against you."
Tsunade's words made Takumi's heart tighten.
He wondered if the steel skin could be as effective as in the simulation.
'I wouldn't be beaten to death, right?'
'Tsunade was one of the Legendary Sannin, so she should have control... right?'
"That... I'm ready."
'Wasn't asking Tsunade to test precisely to test the defense's limit?'
'So what if I got a little injured?'
'Maybe I could even take the opportunity to...'
'Hehe!'
Takumi's mind wandered into fantasy.
But his face remained extremely calm.
His expression control was already highly mastered.
Trying to see his inner thoughts from his face was already impossible.
Think about the people he had faced before.
Danzo, hailed as the Darkness of the Shinobi World.
Obito, the mastermind behind the Kyubi Rampage.
These were all a bunch of old schemers.
If he couldn't control his emotions, Takumi would have been schemed to death long ago.
