Chapter 73: Tenten's New Template!
Amidst Akiyama Makoto's emotion, the pace of the simulation suddenly quickened.
[With her heart unburdened by you, Tsunade recovers her fighting spirit. You easily defeat Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto. However, Tsunade and Jiraiya do not deliver a killing blow, and as their junior, you naturally do not overstep your bounds.]
[Afterward, Tsunade becomes the Fifth Hokage, and you are treated as her direct disciple. However, you have already learned everything from her. Aside from the summoning technique for Shikkotsu Forest, she has nothing left to teach you.]
[As the new Hokage, Tsunade finds her power squeezed by Danzō and the village advisors. At this time, you provide her with a solution. You use your influence and network to unite the Konoha 12 and later give her the upper hand in the peace talks with the Sand Village.]
[Because of your familiarity with Suna, you have great influence there. This helps Tsunade solve her urgent problems, and her position is quickly stabilized. Her trust in you grows even deeper.]
[After your position is clearly defined, you begin to return to a normal life. You continue to cultivate your relationship with Tenten, practice hand seals and research genjutsu in your spare time, and focus on helping Tsunade solve problems during work hours.]
[On your advice, Tsunade takes on Sakura as another disciple, promoting her friendly attitude towards civilian-born ninja. This makes Tsunade even more influential among the common people. The on-the-fence Ino-Shika-Chō trio also completely acknowledge her, and she gains all the power a Hokage should have.]
Seeing this, Makoto stroked his chin. He had originally thought that as a ninja, he would be stuck doing missions endlessly. He didn't expect to still be walking the career path of a Hokage's advisor. But he was indeed very experienced in this area, and Tsunade simply couldn't refuse such a helpful asset. It seemed this simulation was now completely stable. All that was left was to see how it would end.
[Several years pass in the blink of an eye, and the year Konoha 68 arrives. During these years, you have maintained your friendship with Kurenai Yūhi, even becoming her drinking buddy. You have also continuously strengthened Hinata, but because she gave up the Chūnin Exams, she ultimately gives up on becoming a ninja. However, due to your influence, she is not branded with the Caged Bird Seal.]
[Your research on genjutsu resistance is also finally successful. You have completely modified the original Yin Seal, giving it a certain degree of autonomous operation. After testing with Kurenai, at least her genjutsu are now completely ineffective against you.]
[You name the new ninjutsu the 'Illusion-Breaking Seal.' At the same time, you see the potential for this jutsu to be developed even further.]
[Also due to your intervention, Jiraiya is forcefully reverse-summoned by Mount Myōboku at the last moment. He is then saved by the combined efforts of you, Tsunade, and Sakura, and goes on to shine during Pain's assault on Konoha.]
[Because you and Sakura share the pressure, Tsunade does not fall into a coma. With Jiraiya's protection, Danzō has no opportunity to become acting Hokage. He is gradually marginalized in Konoha. Unable to bear the neglect, he ultimately chooses to secretly collude with Yakushi Kabuto.]
Makoto couldn't help but laugh. Danzō was always talking about protecting Konoha, but his methods were always so unique. Was his reason this time that the two juniors, Tsunade and Jiraiya, were hindering Konoha's development and had to be eliminated? But he wasn't worried about Danzō causing any trouble, because what came next was beyond his control.
Sure enough, Danzō was killed by Kabuto.
[Kabuto pretends to cooperate with Danzō but instead captures him and his entire Root squad, using them as material for his Impure World Reincarnation. Danzō's and Shisui's Sharingan are also obtained by Kabuto and become spoils of war for Sasuke and Itachi in the subsequent Great Ninja War.]
[The Fourth Great Ninja War breaks out. This time, because of your guidance, Team 7 maintains its original bond, and the bond between Naruto and Sasuke is even deeper than before. After Danzō's death, you become a Hokage Advisor and are ordered by Tsunade to guard the rear, so you do not encounter any danger.]
[After the war ends, you and Tenten reach the age for marriage. A year later, you hold your wedding, and your life together is happy and blissful. In Konoha 70, Tenten gives birth to your daughter, whom you name Akiyama Tenshi.]
[Congratulations, the simulation was a success!]
[Calculating Akiyama Tenshi's bloodline talent. Please wait a moment.]
Seeing this, Makoto took a deep breath. It was finally over. It seemed that because he had become a ninja this time and had to participate deeply in the original storyline, the simulation had become much longer. But in terms of gains, it was extremely rich, not just in the growth of his talent and strength, but also in opening up new life possibilities for him.
First, it made him realize that his medical ninjutsu talent and the techniques he had mastered were enough for Tsunade to ignore any suspicions about him and forcefully take him on as a disciple. This meant that even if Hiruzen died, he could stand by Tsunade's side and no longer have to worry about Danzō's schemes. His future path had become clearer and broader.
Second was the hand seal experience from Jiraiya and the knowledge of genjutsu and its counters from Kurenai. This meant another of his weaknesses in the current "version" had been patched. This might not directly increase his base stats, but it would absolutely increase his combat power, making him fearless against any conventional ninja.
Finally, although it wasn't specifically mentioned in the simulation, he was certain that he now had a deep understanding of Kurenai, Tsunade, and Shizune. They had been drinking buddies and colleagues for many years in the simulation, which would make his future interactions with them much more relaxed.
Of course, the most crucial thing was the talent of this child, Akiyama Tenshi. This time, he intended to give this talent to Tenten, hoping she could keep up with his own pace.
Soon, the simulation results appeared.
[Congratulations, the simulation was a success! Akiyama Tenshi has inherited yours and Tenten's talents. She possesses a minor talent in Space-Time Ninjutsu and has the aptitude of a Jōnin.]
[Her detailed stats are as follows.]
[Ninjutsu: 6, Taijutsu: 8, Genjutsu: 4, Intelligence: 6, Strength: 3, Speed: 8, Stamina: 4, Hand Seals: 5. Special Talents: Intermediate Space-Time Ninjutsu Talent, Low-grade Yang and Earth Release Talents, Low-grade Chakra Sensory Talent.]
Upon seeing the Intermediate Space-Time Ninjutsu Talent, Makoto clenched his fist in excitement. This was the fundamental purpose of this simulation. If he hadn't even gotten this, all his efforts would have been in vain.
But then he frowned. The rest of this child's stats were a bit too low.
