This was the first time he wasn't simulating himself, but simulating someone else.
He didn't know if this would work, but if it did, mastering anyone's situation would be easy in the future.
[The simulation process must be based on the host. It is impossible to simulate others' experiences.]
'Indeed, this won't work.'
Takumi wasn't disappointed; he was just trying.
'Then simulate the next ten days for me, mainly confirming Kumogakure's movements.'
'If the Akatsuki really plans to act, results will likely appear within ten days.'
'After all, news of Shukaku's capture has started spreading. Kumogakure has two Tailed Beasts; they'll definitely guard them tightly.'
'The Akatsuki must act before the news reaches Kumogakure.'
After some confirmation, Takumi determined his analysis was correct and immediately started the simulation.
[Simulation begins!]
[At 1 PM, you are dragged by passing Tsunade to a hidden underground casino.]
[Afterwards, you immediately report it, getting the underground casino closed down, and take the dissatisfied Tsunade home.]
[Two hours later, Tsunade, having broken the law, leaves satisfied.]
[At 4 PM, Rin comes to you alone. Having not replenished for a long time, she urgently needs energy.]
[It seems Rin had already discussed it with Kurenai. That evening, Kurenai does not come to you.]
'An afternoon to look forward to.'
An ambiguous smile appeared on Takumi's face, his eyes full of anticipation.
To be honest, it had been a while since he was with Tsunade.
Either he was busy, or she was busy.
Their times always seemed to miss each other.
'But what I want to focus on is news from Kumogakure. I wonder how the situation is.'
Takumi hadn't forgotten the purpose of the simulation and quickly came to his senses.
[The next morning, sunlight shines on you.]
[You wake up, and Rin is no longer beside you. Presumably, last night's experience made her too shy, so she got up and left early.]
[You smile knowingly. Leaving the room, you find Kurenai preparing breakfast in the kitchen.]
[After having breakfast and Kurenai together, you leave the house feeling refreshed, leaving only the exhausted Kurenai resting at home.]
[At 10 AM, you encounter Kakashi wandering around, and you chat for a while.]
[After parting, you are caught by Sakura and quickly taken to Sasori's barber shop.]
[Unable to withstand the girl's pleading, you tidy up her hairstyle. You are discovered by Ino, who followed closely, and she insists you also tidy up her hairstyle.]
[You happily agree, but are immediately discovered by passersby. You sense trouble, but unfortunately, it's too late.]
[When you leave Sasori's barber shop, it's already 6 PM.]
'I'll have to be careful.'
Looking at himself being overwhelmed by the crowd, Takumi couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
It was truly terrifying.
He had just experienced it a couple of days ago. Countless people were making noise in his ears, and he couldn't even hear who was speaking.
He felt like he was in a noisy market, surrounded by voices on all sides.
He didn't even know how he got home that day.
Since he predicted it this time, he would definitely have to avoid Sakura.
He didn't want to experience that again.
Even if he had to cut hair, he would do it at home, so it wouldn't cause a blockade.
[On the third day, after waking up, Kakashi comes to your house.]
[You find it strange, because Kakashi almost never initiatively comes to your house.]
[Kakashi's purpose in coming makes you understand that something has indeed happened.]
[News arrives from Kumogakure: Yugito has been killed by a mysterious person, and the Tailed Beast inside her is missing.]
'What?!'
Takumi's eyes widened.
'The news of Yugito's death would reach Konoha in two days!'
'That means she died before that!'
'No way!'
Takumi immediately realized he had to rush over as soon as possible.
The incident probably hadn't happened yet.
Maybe Yugito could still be saved.
Although this afternoon was very much worth looking forward to, compared to Yugito's life, these things meant nothing.
And if he moved at full speed, he could return today, and it wouldn't delay replenishing Rin.
Thought immediately turned into action.
His figure instantly disappeared from the spot, rushing out of Konoha at extreme speed towards Kumogakure.
The only troublesome thing was that he didn't know where Yugito had been attacked.
But with Observation Haki, finding people shouldn't be too big a problem.
The Akatsuki's goal was to extract Tailed Beasts. Yugito might have already been captured by now.
He had to speed up!
"Kakuzu-san? Why speed up again?"
Hidan accelerated his running, his face full of confusion.
They had already been moving at a very fast pace before.
But Kakuzu had just increased speed again, making him not understand what was happening.
There were no suspicious figures around, and even if someone discovered them, they couldn't possibly guess their purpose.
"I have a bad feeling."
Kakuzu said in a deep voice. "Finish the target as soon as possible, then withdraw from here."
The two moved quickly, like two black shadows shuttling through the forest.
Suddenly, they stopped.
On the ground before them, a venus flytrap emerged.
"The target is only five hundred meters from you."
Black Zetsu said coldly. "You don't have much time. At most one hour, and Kumogakure will discover Yugito is missing."
"By then, that hot-tempered Fourth Raikage will definitely come. You two might not necessarily be able to deal with that guy."
Black Zetsu's words made Hidan a bit dissatisfied.
"With Jashin-sama's blessing, I am invincible!"
Hidan shouted arrogantly. "I don't care about any Fourth Raikage. Even if he comes, I'll kill him without mercy!"
"Hmph."
Black Zetsu snorted coldly. "You probably wouldn't even see his shadow."
"Who are you looking down on?!"
Hidan immediately glared, pulling out his scythe as if he wanted to fight Black Zetsu.
"Don't waste time."
Kakuzu said coldly. "The target's location."
"Northeast."
Black Zetsu turned northeast. "If you don't hurry, she'll leave."
