["You look like you're dancing. We could form a group in the future," Killer B said, patting your shoulder.]
["Forget it, I'm not interested in rap. I can't freestyle," You declined tactfully.]
["Free what?" Killer B was completely confused by your words, and you just showed a mysterious smile.]
["Enough chit-chat, don't forget we're still on the battlefield," A reminded you not to let your guard down.]
[After a week of marching, you faced your third actual combat.]
[This time, you faced five Shinobi.]
[You still easily and gracefully dodged the opponent's attacks.]
[The coordination between these five was even worse than the previous three.]
[But you still didn't let your guard down. Because you didn't plan to attack, dodging all the enemy's attacks was your means of defeating them.]
[So, you had to be fully focused.]
[But an accident suddenly occurred.]
["Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" A Shinobi suddenly used Wind Release.]
[The huge gust of wind made your body momentarily uncontrollable.]
[The other Shinobi seized this momentary gap and launched various attacks at you.]
[Although you dodged all the shuriken and kunai attacks the instant you regained body control,]
[You couldn't dodge a Wind Release attack.]
["Wind Release: Vacuum Bullets!" Several invisible but extremely sharp wind waves rushed towards you. You dodged with all your might but were still grazed.]
[Fortunately, injuries of this degree meant nothing to you.]
'Ninjutsu attacks? As expected, there's still room for improvement.'
Takumi sighed with emotion.
'It's like now, when the enemy uses Ninjutsu to alter the terrain or restrict movement space, the difficulty of dodging increases exponentially.'
[If you add Ninjutsu attacks, the difficulty increases quite a bit.]
Although there was a bit of a slip-up, he wasn't overly worried.
A and Killer B were nearby.
They wouldn't sit back and watch the little Takumi fall into crisis.
And the little Takumi had already learned his lesson once.
Making the little Takumi slip up again wouldn't be so easy.
The little Takumi at this moment was like a Saint Seiya.
The same move doesn't work twice on a Saint Seiya!
[You spent some effort, madly skirting the edges, exhausting these five, but you also had some minor grazes and burns on your body.]
[You were not satisfied with this and felt you needed to go back and continue training your ability to dodge Ninjutsu.]
["That's fine too. After all, in battles between Shinobi, Ninjutsu holds a very important tactical position." A agreed with your request and, together with Killer B, sent you back.]
[You began training arduously to dodge Ninjutsu.]
[At first, you focused on dodging one attribute and easily dodged all the Ninjutsu.]
[So you started increasing the difficulty, using two attributes of Ninjutsu simultaneously, and you tried to dodge them.]
[The increased difficulty made it somewhat strenuous for you, especially Earth Release's restrictions on terrain, Wind Release's restrictions on the environment, and Fire Release's extra large attack range, etc.]
[But under your arduous training, these difficulties were overcome one by one. You could predict the attack trajectory of Ninjutsu in advance and thus evade in advance.]
[So, you increased the difficulty again, facing three attributes of Ninjutsu simultaneously.]
'It feels like being possessed by Katakuri.'
Watching the little Takumi dodge Ninjutsu attacks in advance was like seeing someone who could briefly foresee the future.
Very unbelievable.
This might be an ability derived from dodging training.
I see your attack in advance, then dodge it.
Perfectly reasonable.
[When you could simultaneously face five attributes of Ninjutsu and handle them calmly, you set foot on the battlefield again.]
[And this time, you encountered a powerful enemy.]
[The puppet master from Sunagakure, Chiyo.]
["Sandaime Raikage's youngest son, you will die here!" Chiyo saw you, her eyes gleaming.]
[Being able to kill you, Sandaime Raikage's son, would surely enrage Sandaime Raikage.]
[And an angry beast is dangerous but also easy to hunt.]
["I will turn you into a puppet and give it to your old man as a birthday present, haha!" Chiyo let out an arrogant laugh.]
'Quite arrogant, let's see if you can still laugh later?'
Takumi showed a mocking smile.
What has he trained in this life?
Dodging!
Even if your puppets can shoot many poison needles and have many blades, the little Takumi has already experienced all that!
Now, he can even dodge all of them by instinct.
Without even going through his brain, his body would move on its own!
[You remained unmoved, just silently charged towards Chiyo.]
[Chiyo opened a scroll and summoned over a dozen puppets.]
[Under her precise control, the puppets either sprouted blades all over their bodies to attack or sprayed poison needles to attack.]
[Over a dozen puppets blocked all your movement directions like a blanket covering the sky and earth.]
[Dozens of blades, countless poison needles came towards you.]
[But you seemed to stroll through a courtyard, dodging all the attacks.]
[And you moved towards Chiyo at a certain speed.]
[Chiyo was greatly shocked, immediately summoning more puppets, making the attacks even more dense, seemingly nowhere to escape.]
[But even in such a situation, you remained completely unruffled, steadily dodging every blade, every poison needle.]
[You even attached explosive tags on the puppets, blowing them up.]
[This operation shocked everyone present. Chiyo, the puppet master even A and Killer B found troublesome, actually had all her puppets destroyed by you.]
[Chiyo had no choice but to flee from your presence.]
[In this battle, you gained great fame.]
'Just as I predicted.'
"Ah, being invincible is truly, truly lonely!"
Takumi couldn't help but hum.
Then he couldn't help but laugh.
[You became famous in one battle, but you remained neither arrogant nor impatient.]
[You still had Killer B train with you, even having him use shadow clones to train with you.]
[Facing the offensive of two Killer Bs, the difficulty instantly doubled.]
[Even if one of the Killer B only had one sword in hand.]
[Because two Killer B meant two people could attack simultaneously, greatly increasing the difficulty of dodging.]
[On the first day of training, you were beaten black and blue.]
[But you were not discouraged in the slightest and continued working hard.]
[When you could adapt to the attacks of two Killer B, the effect of dodging training also improved rapidly.]
[The number of blades in the Killer B clones' hands also increased one by one.]
[About a month later, you could handle two Killer B.]
[A total of sixteen sword attacks.]
[But you were still not satisfied, and you had Killer B create another clone.]
[The difficulty increased significantly again.]
'Really strict with yourself.'
'But that's right too. After all, it's the only means to defeat the enemy. No matter how high the demand, it can't be considered strict.'
'After all, the consequence of failure is equal to death.'
Takumi solemnly watched the little Takumi in the simulation.
He was still covered in wounds.
This was all caused by training without the slightest pause.
[It took two months for you to successfully dodge the attacks of three Killer B.]
[A total of twenty-four swords.]
[Your dodging skills had reached the point of perfection.]
[Even Sandaime Raikage, using his fastest speed, couldn't touch the hem of your clothes.]
[Sandaime Raikage was very satisfied and sent you to the battlefield.]
[He knew that the current you could return unscathed even if caught in a chaotic battle of hundreds or thousands of people.]
[And you were also placed with high hopes by him.]
[You began to be assigned some special missions.]
