Chapter 89: A Joint Elbow Strike from Guy and Tsunade
The simulation didn't end just because he had a child?
Akiyama Makoto's face lit up with surprise. Although Anko Mitarashi's little trick had annoyed him, it had also inadvertently answered one of his questions. The simulation ended when the designated target had a child, or it failed if the designated target didn't have one.
This meant that before the designated target gave birth, he could actually have one, or even many, other children first... This course of action, it seemed the star of death was shining brightly upon him!
Oh, well. Let's just continue the simulation.
[In this one year, you have basically mastered the usage of the Flying Thunder God Technique and its formula, but just as you expected, you are unable to actually use them.]
[Your relationship with Tenten progresses the most rapidly; the two of you have already become quite intimate. When she is on missions, you spend your time intimately with Sakura. Your actions are gradually discovered by some people.]
Seeing this, his heart tightened. He thought someone was about to jump out and beat him up. Like Tsunade or someone... after all, Sakura was her disciple now. But the simulation continued, and he relaxed.
[Konoha 67: Konoha and the Sand Village hold another joint Chūnin Exam. This time, everyone you are familiar with will participate. Because Shikamaru is already a Chūnin, the original Team 10 is short one member, so Ino invites Sakura to join.]
Ah, this plotline... Makoto was quite familiar with it. Although he had skipped this part in all his previous simulations, he had been a Kage's advisor in both Konoha and Suna. He could say he had witnessed the entire process of this Chūnin Exam from two different perspectives. He could even recite now which guys were secretly causing trouble.
However, he hadn't expected to be participating in this exam from a third perspective.
[You are appointed as a Medical Advisor by Tsunade and participate in this Chūnin Exam. Your goal is to ensure the safe return of all Konoha ninja. Tenten, Ino, and Sakura are all participating, and your appearance immediately attracts their attention.]
[Ino still subconsciously keeps her distance from you, but the competition for you between Tenten and Sakura has become white-hot. Even Tsunade and Guy have separately come to you, hoping you will make a choice, otherwise it will affect their students' performance.]
Makoto was suddenly under immense pressure. What was meant to come had come. He had expected Tsunade to stand up for Sakura. What he hadn't expected was that Guy would also choose to stand up for Tenten. But thinking about it, it wasn't strange. Guy must have noticed that Tenten was not focused during training and wanted to eliminate the distracting factor once and for all.
So what should he do?
On this, he had a different strategy. This time, he could try the direct approach.
He took a deep breath and chose to use a guidance.
[You find Tenten and Sakura, tell them that you will give them an answer after the Chūnin Exams, and wish them good luck.]
[Tenten and Sakura focus all their attention on the exam. Unfortunately, due to a civil disturbance in the Sand Village, the final round is canceled, and no one receives a final exam score.]
[Fortunately, promotion to Chūnin depends on a ninja's performance throughout the entire exam. Tsunade, in need of personnel, chooses to promote Tenten, Sakura, and the others to Chūnin.]
[On this day, all the participants gather at your barbecue restaurant to celebrate. You generously waive the bill for everyone, and a good time is had by all.]
[But you know that the real test is just beginning.]
Makoto took a deep breath. Is it time?
[The next day, you wait at the Valley of the End for Tenten and Sakura's arrival. Soon, the two of them appear by your side. They look at each other in surprise, seemingly not understanding why the other is also here.]
[Just as they are wondering, you give them your answer. You like both of them, cannot give up either one, and want to marry them both.]
[Tenten and Sakura fall into a stunned silence. Then, they both explode and attack you, even asking if you are drunk.]
[You do not just stand there and take it. Instead, you display your powerful combat ability, easily suppressing the two of them without restricting their freedom.]
[After the battle, you repeat your declaration and observe their reactions. Tenten starts to cry and turns to run away, but is stopped by Sakura.]
[The two of them talk for a long time with their backs to you and give you an unexpected answer. They tell you that if you want them to agree, then you must defeat both Guy and Tsunade at the same time. Only then will they acknowledge your determination.]
Makoto's eyebrow twitched. How about we change the condition? What if I go fight Uchiha Madara instead? Guy was a man who had almost kicked his way to the series finale. Paired with Tsunade, a walking fountain of youth, they could probably land a few kicks on Kaido. How many people in the entire ninja world could beat the two of them combined?
This was basically a clear rejection, wasn't it?
He wasn't surprised by this. A girl in love, suddenly being told she had to share her man—it would be strange if she wasn't angry. Not to mention he had suddenly adopted this zero-EQ, self-destruct mode.
But it didn't matter. It was a simulation, after all. He had to try all sorts of methods... what if it worked?
He immediately chose to simulate, using up his last guidance opportunity.
[After being rejected, you are not discouraged. Instead, you choose to challenge Tsunade and Guy separately, unleashing your full strength. You naturally fail, but your Elite Jōnin-level strength shocks both of them.]
[Equally shocked are Sakura and Tenten. They knew you were strong, but they hadn't expected you to be able to force Guy and Tsunade to use their full power—during your battles, Tsunade also used her Yin Seal, and Guy opened the Seventh Gate.]
[You are heavily injured by the two of them, but your medical ninjutsu is no weaker than Tsunade's. you quickly recover and challenge them again.]
[Your deeds spread throughout Konoha. Those in the know go from mocking you to respecting you. Many people even begin to re-evaluate their relationship with you.]
Makoto was taken aback. Who was worthy of such a special, detailed description from the system? Then he realized that this description was not an exaggeration at all.
[The Daimyō of the Land of Fire sends you an invitation, hoping you will become the royal court physician and enjoy the treatment of a high-ranking noble. Shimura Danzō sends Yamanaka Fū to perform a dogeza before you, conveying his desire to take you on as his successor.]
[Anko Mitarashi frequently makes contact with you under the pretext that her adopted daughter, Mochi, is in poor health. Even Yamanaka Ino, who has kept her distance from you for two years, appears before you again.]
Makoto took a sharp breath. So this works too?
