Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Strategic Mastermind—Planning for Years Ahead!
And this time, the talent was even higher-grade—purple!
Before he could ask anything, the system quickly explained:
[Charge Warrior: Your mind is filled with impulsive desires. Purple indicates a high grade, meaning you are extremely eager to charge into action like a warrior.]
[Wise Thinker: Silence, rationality, and thoughtful planning define your personality. You never act recklessly and always devise a strategy before moving. Purple grade signifies your thinking ability is exceptional.]
"Well, well…"
"Did I just turn into the silent, scheming type?"
Takuya's palms began to sweat, excitement bubbling inside him.
A wise thinker with an intense desire to charge into action…
This feels even scarier than before, when he was just a brute with no plan!
If things go wrong, he might end up as a cunning R@pist instead!
"Start the simulation!"
[Ding! Talents successfully equipped: Wise Thinker (Purple), Charge Warrior (Purple)!]
[Simulation starting…]
[Generating scenario in real-time… Please wait…]
After a hurried mechanical sound, the system began the simulation.
[You're sitting in the classroom, half listening to Iruka-sensei's lecture while your mind drifts elsewhere.]
[You calculate that the ninja world is full of dangers, and with your current lack of skills, you could easily die in any random event.]
[The more you think about it, the more anxious you become, but you can't find a solution, so frustration builds up inside you.]
[At that moment, your eyes fall on Hinata, sitting beside you.]
[Seeing her fair skin and innocent face, a sudden, resolute thought forms in your mind: you must confess to Hinata! Even if she rejects you, you'll force the confession!]
[You reason that since you're already destined to be cannon fodder, why not go all in? Hinata is too sweet and gentle to be left in Naruto's hands…]
The simulation so far mirrored the last one.
But then things took a different turn.
[However, after a mental struggle, your rationality finally overcomes your reckless impulse.]
[You realize that if you rashly charge at Hinata, she might resist.]
[Given your current strength, you wouldn't be able to handle her Gentle Fist technique, and your life would be in danger.]
[Furthermore, even if you succeed, Hinata is too young to keep a secret.]
[If Hiashi Hyuga finds out afterward, your life is still forfeit.]
[So, after thinking it through, you put the impulsive plan on hold and start devising a detailed, careful strategy instead…]
"Seriously…?"
Takuya rubbed his forehead, feeling exasperated.
The first time his super-rational mind crafts a grand, meticulous life plan, it turns out to be all about chasing after a mere girl?
Couldn't he use that talent for something else?
"Next time, please don't let me draw Charge Warrior again…"
Shaking his head in resignation, Takuya continued the simulation.
[That night, you stay awake, thinking through every detail of your plan to get closer to Hinata.]
[You also wonder why, with such a rational mind, you aren't focusing on becoming the strategist of Konoha instead…]
[That night, you couldn't sleep, your mind filled with plans to make a move on Hinata.]
[You were also puzzled as to why, being so rational and analytical, you weren't developing toward becoming Konoha's strategist, but rather considering all these ways just to make a move on someone!]
[After much thought, you guessed it might have something to do with your overly energetic constitution.]
"..."
After watching this segment of the simulation, Takuya had nothing to say.
What can he say?
So much to mock!
[The next day, you suppressed your fatigue and continued to attend class.]
[In class, you watched Hinata's profile while continuing to think of strategies.]
[Knowing all the plot lines, you were aware that Hinata's strength was far greater than she appeared, and she could even go toe-to-toe with Neji Hyuga.]
[Plus, with the powerful background of the Hyuga clan, whether soft or hard tactics wouldn't likely work.]
After analyzing this, Takuya rested his chin on his hand and thought for a few seconds.
Originally, for large clans, intermarriage within the family to continue bloodlines was a longstanding custom.
Especially for a lady of Hinata's stature, they valued bloodlines immensely, wanting to preserve the purest Byakugan.
The Hyuga clan absolutely forbade any foreign genes from polluting their bloodline.
If it weren't for Naruto becoming the Seventh Hokage and saving Konoha multiple times, he would never have been able to marry Hinata.
"So, does that mean I can't pursue Hinata openly?"
Takuya became curious.
If both soft and hard approaches wouldn't work, how could he succeed?
He continued the simulation.
[After various considerations, you finally came up with a plan: to become a doctor!]
[Because you knew there were two specific moments when, if handled properly, you could be alone with Hinata, and at that time, she would be completely defenseless! Almost a guaranteed success!]
[After making up your mind, you went to the Hokage's office and expressed your feelings to Sarutobi Hiruzen, stating that you had no talent for being a ninja and, no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't catch up to Naruto and the others, so you wished to withdraw from the ninja academy.]
[However, out of the will of fire, you still wanted to contribute to the village, so you wanted to work at Konoha Hospital as a male doctor, taking care of the injured and critically ill.]
[Your intentions moved the Third Hokage and Iruka, and during the emotional farewell of your classmates filled with admiration, you withdrew from school. You then started working at the hospital to earn money while practicing medical ninjutsu, striving to become a qualified medical ninja…]
