[Three years later, Pain invades.]
'So it's finally here.'
Takumi's eyes narrowed.
This was a major event. Pain was a ruthless character who killed without blinking. He wondered if his luck could hold up.
[You are patrolling the back gate. Unfortunately, Pain enters through the back gate.]
[You have the misfortune of encountering one of the Six Paths of Pain, the Human Path.]
[You think to yourself, this is probably it… even the best luck can't save you now.]
[However, the next second, Ebisu appears, blocking the path for you and telling you to quickly inform the Hokage.]
[You follow his advice and leave, then encounter the Animal Path.]
[Ibiki appears, telling you to run.]
[You leave again, then encounter the Preta Path.]
[Choji appears, telling you to run, quickly inform the Hokage.]
[You leave once more, then encounter the Naraka Path.]
[Several Anbu wearing animal masks appear, telling you to run, quickly inform the Hokage.]
[You leave immediately, and after just a few steps, encounter the Asura Path.]
[Yamato appears, telling you to run, quickly inform the Hokage.]
[You leave, then encounter the Deva Path.]
[Kakashi appears, telling you to run, quickly inform the Hokage.]
"…"
"HOLY CRAP!!!"
Seeing this series of events, Takumi was completely dumbfounded!
'Damn, just damn!'
'He really couldn't die!'
'Every time he was in crisis, someone showed up to save him!'
'And they all told him to quickly inform the Hokage!'
'It was just so absurd!'
'This... if it weren't for Incredible Luck, I'd probably have died countless times already!'
Takumi genuinely didn't know if this was good luck or bad luck.
Not only did he run into Pain's invasion, he actually encountered all Six Paths of Pain, one after another!
The key point was, all six of them saw him, and then just let him go!
[20 minutes later.]
[Pain's Deva Path uses Super Shinra Tensei, destroying most of Konoha.]
[Although you are pushed back by the repulsive force, you coincidentally get stuck in the rubble, with stones blocking you from all sides, so you aren't crushed into paste.]
[But that's not all. You find yourself pressed against a girl.]
[You turn your head with difficulty to look… it's Ino.]
[Her face is pressed tightly against yours. Neither of you can move, forced to maintain this awkward position.]
'Tsk tsk, even at a time like this, there's a fanservice?'
Takumi couldn't help but complain.
'This was the event where Konoha gets destroyed.'
'And here he was, flirting with a girl?'
'Ino was a shallow woman who liked handsome guys.
'Now, stuck face-to-face with the good-looking me, she was probably feeling quite stirred up, right?'
[Two hours later.]
[Pain is defeated by Naruto. Nagato is 'talked to death' by Naruto's Talk no Jutsu and uses the Rinne Rebirth to revive everyone who died in the invasion.]
[One year later, the Fourth Shinobi World War begins.]
[You are assigned to Gaara's division.]
[You exchange a single move with Madara, but are violently thrown away by the Susano'o, flung nearly several kilometers.]
[A few minutes later, Madara summons a meteor. You turn and run.]
[When the meteor lands, it kills countless Allied Shinobi Forces' members, but the closest it gets to you is about five centimeters, practically grazing your nose as it falls.]
This level of near-miss was just commonplace for his simulated self.
Takumi believed that even if his simulated self stood directly at the meteor's impact point, a hundred percent, some accident would occur to let him survive.
Like the meteor happening to have a hole or something...
That's how unreasonable this luck was.
…
[Soon, it's time for the final battle.]
[The Jubi rampages, and you are almost crushed. Luckily, Sasuke appears and carries you away from the center of the battlefield.]
[Sasuke says confidently, "Stop pretending. You knew I'd come, right?"]
[Hearing this, you were speechless.]
"..."
'Not just the simulated me, even I'm speechless now.'
Takumi shook his head helplessly, feeling this Sasuke was going deeper and deeper down the path of 'Deification'.
[The God Tree extends, countless people are hoisted up and wrapped like silkworm cocoons. Tenten pushes you, and you fall into a rock crevice, narrowly escaping.]
[The war ends. You deeply feel the Shinobi Life is too difficult. The key point is, if you go out on missions, you might cause the death of many Shinobi. So, you decide to settle down. You use the bonuses you've received from Konoha over the years to buy an orchard outside the village, planning to spend the rest of your life there.]
[After tending the fruit trees for two years, while digging holes for new saplings, you accidentally discover gold in your orchard.]
[After digging deeper, you are surprised to find it's actually a gold mine.]
[Two years later, you become a famous wealthy man in the Land of Fire.]
[With a solid fortune, you wish to start a family.]
[However, by this time, everyone else has found their significant others. Only Tenten is still alone.]
[You start pursuing her. Unbeknownst to you, Tenten is at her most lonely time. You easily win her over.]
[You and Tenten begin a happy life together.]
[One year later, your first son is born.]
[Ten years later, you already have six children.]
[For the next thirty years, you live an uneventful life, traveling, bathing in milk, drinking one bowl of soy milk and pouring out another... You are now a wealthy old man, and you have your first grandchild.]
[Forty years in, Tenten passes away before you due to serious illness.]
[Five years later, you leave a massive inheritance for your descendants and close your eyes.]
'Damn, he was surrounded by good luck his entire life!'
'A no-damage clear, essentially.'
Takumi found it somewhat unbelievable.
The simulated him was clearly just a background character, the kind who could die at any moment.
But relying solely on luck, he landed safely, and even lived a pretty good life!
'Alright, start the settlement.'
'Although I don't know what rewards I can get this time...'
[Ding! Simulation over!]
[Settling in progress...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation's rating is A!]
Seeing the rating, Takumi was somewhat surprised.
Not because it was too low, but because he thought it was too high.
This simulated life, while possessing invincible luck and living to a natural death, upon reflection, didn't have any particularly commendable achievements.
He was like an observer.
He watched all the major events of the Shinobi World up close.
But it felt like he didn't really participate.
In summary, there was a severe lack of sense of participation.
Whether it was the events experienced early on, or the wealth acquired later, none of it was obtained through his own efforts.
Takumi originally thought a B rating would be good enough.
He never expected an A.
But, having one is better than nothing.
At least he could get some rewards.
Although he could predict the rewards wouldn't be anything great.
[Ding! Based on your A performance in this simulation.]
[You can choose 1 reward from the following:]
[1. Incredible Luck (1-hour version. Note: Using this ability grants you invincible good luck for 1 hour, but it can only be used once per day.]
[2. The experience in fruit tree cultivation accumulated in this life.]
[3. The experience in slacking off accumulated in this life.]
Takumi looked at the options speechlessly.
'Was there even a choice?'
'The only viable option seemed to be the first one.'
'Although one hour of good luck didn't seem like much, at a critical moment, it might play a huge role!'
After claiming the reward, Takumi checked the system cooldown.
About seven or eight hours…
Enough time to sleep and then start another simulation.
'Hope I draw a suitable talent tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll just have to run away first.'
With a uneasy heart, Takumi slept soundly.
The next day, as dawn broke, Takumi stretched and got out of bed.
He checked the system, and the cooldown had ended.
He immediately sat up straight and began the next simulation.
'System, start simulation!'
[Ding! Drawing talents for you!]
The system's roulette wheel spun.
Three seconds later, the pointer stopped.
[Ding! Draw successful!]
[You have drawn the talents: You Have a Father (Red), Irritable Hothead (Black), Single Resistance (Black)]
The Bonus Chapter is Here!!!
