[You, as a young one, rely on your mother's feeding and grow little by little.]
[The unease of not being able to see or hear gradually fades with your mother's care, and this state doesn't last too long.]
[But you still need a long period of growth before you can fly.]
[Under your mother's careful guidance, several months later, you successfully spread your wings and become a new member of the bat cave.]
[Having once been human, the feeling of soaring in the sky is incredibly novel and exciting for you. You fly recklessly until you are exhausted.]
'Humans' eternal dream has been to conquer the sky.'
Takumi's eyes involuntarily showed envy.
He now possessed great power, it was true, but he still couldn't truly soar in the vast sky.
In his previous life, people invented airplanes to conquer the sky.
And in this life, those who could fly were few and far between.
Flight was still a privilege for a minority.
Even one of his wives, Kurotsuchi from the Land of Earth, and her family, could only manage a very simple form of flight.
Speed and angle were both very slow.
Nowhere near as agile as an animal's flight.
'But it doesn't matter. After this simulation, I'll be able to possess the ability to fly.'
Takumi didn't think he would fail in this simulation process.
This was during the duration of Incredible Luck.
How could he possibly have bad luck?
[Under your mother's guidance, your first flight, your first hunt, and your first time leaving your mother's embrace to embark on your own life.]
[Leaving your strong mother, you know you have stepped into the cruel nature of the survival of the fittest.]
[You need to be wary of those hunters eyeing you covetously, while also ensuring you successfully grow up.]
[Nighttime is when all the bats in the cave set out to hunt.]
[You follow the main group, but being still young, you simply cannot snatch food from the mouths of the adult bats. Each time, you can only pick up some leftovers.]
[Several times, you even fail to get any food at all.]
[In this vicious cycle, your constitution gets weaker and weaker, and you become increasingly unable to compete with the adult bats.]
'No way? I just praised Incredible Luck, and now this happens? It's not going to end here, is it?'
Takumi's heart suddenly became anxious.
He had placed high hopes on obtaining the flight ability.
But turning into a bat was very different from the previous few animal transformations, because bats are naturally weak and very prone to dying young. If he encountered any accidents, like competing for food with adult bats, it would be very easy to die.
Based on previous simulations, to completely simulate a new ability would take at least several years. If he really ended up here, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
'Don't die so easily, please be useful.'
'I'm the child of destiny, damn it! You have to find a way to pull yourself together!'
"What's wrong?"
Koyuki opened her eyes groggily.
Her sleepy appearance was truly adorable.
Takumi couldn't help but gently kiss her lips, then said with a smile, "It's nothing, go back to sleep."
"Mm."
Koyuki obediently responded and closed her eyes again.
Takumi turned his attention back to the simulation screen.
He silently warned himself to control his emotions.
Although others couldn't see the simulation screen, if his strange behavior was noticed multiple times, it would arouse suspicion.
But watching the increasingly thin appearance of little bat Takumi, his inner worry was considerable.
This was his hope for being able to fly in the air.
Although he might obtain a similar ability in the future,
Being able to get it sooner was better than delaying it too long, right?
[You realize that within the huge colony, you cannot compete with the adult bats, so you resolutely make a decision.]
[Leave the colony and head for the wider world.]
[This behavior is undoubtedly more risky, but great fortunes are found in risk.]
"Isn't this too risky?"
Takumi frowned slightly.
Having only recently learned to fly, with little bat Takumi's stamina, he couldn't fly very far at all.
When he landed to rest, he would have to face numerous natural enemies.
How could he, a helpless little bat, survive?
[You resolutely leave the cave and come under the vast sky.]
[In the forest, food is everywhere, but you are also a delicious little snack in the eyes of other beasts.]
[Without other bats competing, you eat your fill recklessly, filling your hungry body from these past few days. Then you take off, starting to search for a safe place to rest.]
[There are too many dangers in the forest; you dare not stay for long.]
[You don't know how long you've been flying, from sunrise to sunset, until the evening glow appears on the horizon, and you still haven't found a suitable place to rest.]
[Gradually, you feel tired, your once light wings becoming heavy.]
'Indeed, it was too forced.'
Takumi shook his head helplessly.
When following the group, although he couldn't compete with others, he could at least eat some leftovers.
But now he could eat his fill, yet there was no safe place to rest.
In nature, there were too many creatures that preyed on bats.
Snakes, lizards, etc., and even some birds of prey would hunt bats.
If he could find a suitable resting place first, and then leave the colony, it might be better.
It could only be said that hunger had caused little bat Takumi to lose calm judgment.
[Just then, you see two figures on the ground.]
[With blurry vision, you can't make out their faces; your bat's colorblind eyes prevent you from distinguishing their colors.]
[Seeing human figures after so long, you feel a sense of familiarity, but the tight string in your body also suddenly relaxes.]
[At this moment, you forget that you are no longer human. When you come to, you realize you can no longer move your heavy body.]
[The moment you fall from the height, you barely flap your wings, adjusting your landing position and slightly slowing your falling speed.]
[The next moment, you fall into unconsciousness.]
'This?!'
Takumi was a bit surprised.
Naturally, he wasn't surprised by little bat Takumi fainting.
That was predictable.
After all, the little bat had reached his limit and could have fallen from exhaustion at any moment.
What surprised him was that the little bat had landed right on those two people's heads.
And these two people, one with blonde hair, one with red hair,
Were both very familiar to him, but people he had never met.
Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina!
'Could it be that Incredible Luck has started to take effect?'
Takumi couldn't help but come to this conclusion.
Thinking about it, he felt this possibility was very high.
'Maybe the earlier inability to get enough to eat was Incredible Luck's doing.'
'The purpose was to make the little bat leave the unpromising bat cave and head for a wider, more hopeful new world.'
'And indeed,'
'The first time he went out, he encountered two special people.'
["It's awake!"]
[You open your eyes and see a familiar face. Although you can't see her hair color, you immediately recognize her identity from her features.]
[Uzumaki Kushina!]
["So I'm in the Naruto World!" At this moment, you finally understand what world you are in.]
[All sorts of chaotic thoughts fill your mind, making your blood boil.]
[But you suddenly feel depressed, because you realize you are just a little bat. Not even a summoned beast, how can you survive in this dangerous world?]
["Don't worry, your injuries are healed." Accompanied by a gentle voice, you see a sunny face.]
[Namikaze Minato!]
[You immediately flutter your wings, fly onto Kushina's head, lie down, and stop moving.]
["It seems to really like you." Minato said with a smile.]
["Of course, I'm loved by everyone!" Kushina seemed very happy, saying very proudly.]
'He's latched onto two big shots.'
Takumi smiled slightly. 'At least he doesn't have to worry too much about life-threatening danger anymore.'
'But how long these two big shots will live is still uncertain.'
'He needs to confirm the current timeline.'
