Chapter 92: Body Pathway Derangement on the Tip of the Tongue
Akiyama Makoto didn't dwell on the panel of Sakura's heir for long, nor was he dissatisfied with the result. The inheritance was a matter of probability, after all, and Akiyama Ai's attributes weren't bad, just a little lacking compared to the boost from Mitarashi Mochi.
Next was what he was most concerned about. He wondered if he could get what he wanted.
[Congratulations! Akiyama Tenshi has inherited parts of yours and Tenten's talents and has a strong aptitude for Space-Time Ninjutsu. She has Elite Jōnin aptitude. Her detailed stats are as follows.]
[Eight Ninja Stats: Ninjutsu: 7, Taijutsu: 7, Genjutsu: 6, Intelligence: 7, Strength: 7, Speed: 7, Stamina: 6, Hand Seals: 7. Special Talent: Advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu Talent.]
The moment he saw "Advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu Talent," he shot up from the sofa.
I got it! I finally got it!
It seemed his luck was conserved. After the relatively poor panel from Sakura's heir, the luck for Tenten's heir had exploded! In fact, looking at Akiyama Tenshi's panel, aside from the Advanced Space-Time talent, her other stats weren't that high, and she had almost no other special talents. It was as if inheriting this one talent had used up all of the child's luck.
[Store this simulation result and receive the bloodline talent template as a reward?]
[Ding! It has been detected that the Host has three heirs in this run with multiple different panels. Displaying storage results for multiple heirs. The Host may choose the storage method.]
[If the Host intends to gift this panel back to the simulation target, then the simulation result will only store the part related to the simulation target. If the Host wishes to receive the bloodline feedback themselves, then the simulation results of all heirs can be stored simultaneously.]
Seeing the system's prompt, all he could say was that this was within his expectations. He was the master of the system and could enjoy the bloodline feedback from several children at once. But there was no reason for Tenten to enjoy the feedback from Sakura's or Anko's children. When it came to preventing loopholes, the system was practically watertight.
As for which storage method to choose this time, did he even need to think about it?
Advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu Talent, here I come!
He immediately chose to store the simulation results of all three heirs. But the system, ever thoughtful, popped up another prompt.
[Notice: When storing this result, you will automatically obtain a fourth storage slot. Hereafter, for every point your 'Genjutsu' attribute increases, you will gain one new storage slot.]
Only then did he remember that Mitarashi Mochi, Anko's heir, had contributed a panel sufficient to make him a Kage-level powerhouse. This gave him a sudden impulse. Maybe I should go and meet this child in the simulation in a bit.
She was different from the child Yūgao had left him. By the time he ended the simulation, she should already be six years old. Although meeting her in the simulation wouldn't change anything, in the future, he might not simulate with Anko again. He couldn't wait until he overwrote this save file in the future to remember that he had already bid a final farewell to one of his children. What's more, she had contributed such an excellent panel for him.
At this thought, he felt his heart soften a little.
[Ding! Issuing the bloodline talent... Estimated duration: ten minutes.]
The familiar sensation washed over him. He began to consider which part of the simulation he should review... and then he suddenly realized he had forgotten something.
Why had he even simulated with Anko in the first place?
Answer: It wasn't that he wanted to simulate with her, but that she was about to ambush him in the night right now.
There was one thing he could never figure out before. Although he might not be her match without releasing his Yin Seal, how could he, facing a completely drunk Anko, be so utterly outmatched that she could successfully ambush him?
Now, it seemed he understood.
He was in the middle of a damn bloodline feedback infusion!
This is wrong. Very wrong! How had he inadvertently completed a time-paradox loop?
"What's all this noise..."
Anko stumbled out, leaning against the doorframe. In her sleep, she had already taken off most of her clothes.
"Hm? Who are you?"
She walked over to him, patted him, and said with a confused expression, "A man?"
She looked down at him, and a happy smile curved her lips. "So it's you, little bro... Why did you come to my house and... take off all my clothes?"
Anko frowned, as if trying to think. Finally, she seemed to remember something.
A sliver of hope appeared in his heart. Could he be spared? This was Kurenai's house, after all. She wouldn't just stand by and let Anko do this, right?
He soon understood why it wasn't until the next day that Kurenai discovered what Anko had done.
Anko started pounding on the floor in a drunken fit, laughing and shouting, "Kurenai, there's a man in your house!"
"Kurenai, answer me!"
"You jerk, did you seal your own door again...?"
After a few seconds of shouting, Anko closed her eyes and lay down on the floor.
Before he could feel hopeful, she crawled back up half a minute later.
She fumbled her way to his side, a smile on her face. "Huh? Little bro, how did you get into my house... Don't tell me you want to do that with me?"
Anko stuck out her little finger and wiggled it in front of him.
He looked at her, his face expressionless, and didn't move. There were still eight minutes left until the bloodline feedback was complete.
"If you don't make a move, then I will... You can tell me to stop at any time, little bro. If you don't..."
She kissed him on the lips and, a moment later, skillfully removed his clothes.
He closed his eyes in resignation. Had he fallen into a time loop from which he couldn't escape? Being ambushed by a drunk Anko was one thing, but he was worried about actually having Mochi in the real world. He liked Mochi, but that didn't mean he wanted a child next year!
Calm down and think. Is there anything I can do... That's right! The current him could actually control the chakra inside his body! But his whole body was immobile. If he could only move his internal chakra, what kind of jutsu could he possibly use to get out of this predicament?
This... there actually was one!
His eyes sharpened. A ninjutsu that should have been performed with his fist was now forcefully executed with the tip of his tongue.
