[Konan walked into the storage room. Seeing her tattered appearance, you knew you had a chance.]
[Sure enough, she went to the rack holding the uniforms and started looking.]
[You, having prepared in advance, immediately caught her attention.]
["This pattern is..."]
[Konan picked you up in surprise, looking at the red rose on your chest with a puzzled expression.]
[She wondered if it was a misprint during manufacturing. However, she couldn't resist your allure and took you out the door.]
[You were taken away by Konan, your 'heart' filled with excitement.]
[A few minutes later, you were worn by Konan.]
[In that instant, you felt incredibly strange. It was as if you had become Konan's armor.]
[Konan also felt it was strange, because she felt the cloak seemed to have some warmth, feeling warmer than usual when worn.]
[Just like that, you became Konan's cloak.]
[You were inseparable. Every morning after waking up, she would put you on.]
[She wouldn't take you off until nightfall.]
[She took you to see Pain, to issue commands to other members. You went on patrols in Amegakure with her, went on intelligence-gathering missions outside.]
[You witnessed quite a bit of history with Konan.]
[The growth of the Akatsuki, various missions, and her secretly buying massive amounts of explosive tags behind Kakuzu's back...]
'Damn, even witnessed the explosive tag purchases?' Takumi couldn't help but complain.
[That night, after killing Jiraiya, Konan was very sad. She didn't take off her outer cloak and lay down on the bed to sleep.]
[The next morning, she found some fabric fibers had somehow fallen onto her stomach.]
[And she felt comfortable all over, as if she had received a full-body massage during the night.]
[From then on, Konan often slept wearing you.]
[She couldn't understand why sleeping with clothes on was more comfortable than sleeping without them.]
[She even had some strange dreams sometimes.]
[As time passed, you witnessed the major and minor events of the Shinobi World with her.]
[Because you fit her extremely well, and even provided warmth in the rain so she wouldn't feel cold,]
[even though you had some small tears and wear, she couldn't bear to throw you away. Instead, she mended you and kept wearing you.]
"This..." Reading this, Takumi felt somewhat embarrassed...
He was just a piece of clothing, yet he had so many sneaky operations...
It was straight out of the plot of Kill la Kill!
[Finally, the time arrived for that day.]
[On the sea of the Land of Rain, Konan confronted Obito.]
[After 600 billion explosive tags were detonated, they failed to kill Obito.]
[Obito used Izanagi to revive and was about to pierce Konan's heart with a steel pipe when you stepped in.]
[With a strong pull, you moved Konan's body using your own 'body'. Then, carrying her, you fled the scene at 80 miles per hour.]
[You only stopped after reaching the border of the Land of Rain. By then, Konan was completely dumbfounded.]
[She fearfully touched the cloak on her body. But then, you spoke.]
[You told her you were alive. To help her understand, you fabricated an excuse, saying you were cursed and turned into a cloak.]
[Konan was utterly shocked and quickly took you off.]
[You solidified into a human shape, standing before her, and told her that if you hadn't intervened, Obito would have killed her.]
[It took a full day for Konan to fully comprehend the situation.]
[Although she found it hard to accept this reality, she was still grateful to you.]
[You suggested to her that maybe she should find a new place to live, since Obito would be defeated in the not-too-distant future.]
[After some thought, Konan agreed to your suggestion.]
[Just like that, the two of you settled down in an obscure small town in the Land of Grass.]
[The two of you lived like a harmonious couple. She was responsible for buying groceries and cooking, while you handled cleaning and other chores.]
[A month later, to prevent outsiders from discovering Konan's Akatsuki identity, you had her buy a new set of clothes from outside, and you re-inhabited it.]
[A year later, the bond between you two grew stronger, because in this world, besides you, Konan had no other family or friends.]
[Two years later, Konan looked at you somewhat sheepishly and said she wanted to wear you again.]
[You happily agreed.]
[You told her that besides outer cloaks, you could also transform into women's clothing, even underwear.]
[For the next dozen or so years, you and Konan maintained a special relationship.]
[It wasn't that of husband and wife, nor lovers, but it transcended the relationship between a person and clothing.]
[Fifty years later, Konan died.]
[Feeling there was nothing left to live for, you also decided to end your life.]
[So you put yourself back on Konan's body, started a fire, and turned yourself, her, and your home to ashes.]
[You died.]
[Your life ended here.]
[Simulation over.]
"…"
After simulating this life, Takumi had only one word in his heart: 'Brilliant!'
He truly hadn't expected that a mere piece of clothing could lead such a crazy life!
Those experiences he had with Konan... frankly, even as a human, he might not have had them!
He knew every inch of Konan's skin, every pore, intimately!
'This life was not lived in vain!'
'System, you can conclude it.' He silently instructed.
[Ding! Simulation over!]
[Settling results...]
[Please wait...]
[Ding! This simulation's rating is: A!]
"Damn, that high?" Hearing the system, Takumi was stunned for a few seconds.
But thinking about it, it made sense. For a piece of clothing, he had already profited immensely.
Being worn by Konan for so many years, what advantage hadn't he gained?
And in the end, he even saved her life!
He even lived with her for decades as a piece of clothing.
It sounded absolutely ridiculous, but it really happened!
[Ding! As your rating reached A, you may choose one reward from the following.]
[1. One Akatsuki's uniform.]
…
'That's it?' Seeing the system panel, Takumi was taken aback.
'What was there to choose?!'
An Akatsuki's uniform... if that really appeared in his hands, it would be a huge problem!
The trust he had finally gained would immediately be met with suspicion again.
'Forget it, forget it. I'll forgo the reward this time. Continue the simulation.' Takumi felt the memories from that life alone were worth the price.
It would be quite thrilling to reminisce about them in his spare time.
'System, I remember the cooldown for these 'non-human' memories can be shortened, right?'
[Yes, the simulation system has refreshed. You may continue simulating at any time.]
'Then continue the simulation!'
[Ding! Drawing a talent for you!]
The system's roulette wheel began to spin.
Three seconds later, the pointer stopped.
[Ding! Draw successful!]
[You have drawn the talents: Tenacious Life (Black), Time Machine (Black-Gold), You Have A Father (Purple)]
Seeing these talents, Takumi's pupils constricted.
His heart started beating rapidly!
'A Black-Gold talent!'
'And also a Black talent!'
'Time Machine? Could it be...' Takumi already had a rough idea, but to be safe, he decided to check the system explanation.
[Tenacious Life: You possess a tenacious vitality like a cockroach. Any disease or severe injury cannot take your life. Black indicates an extremely high rank. You can only be killed by decapitating you, scrambling your brains, and crushing your heart.]
[Time Machine: You can travel through time to any point in the Shinobi World's timeline. This talent is only available as a Black-Gold talent, the highest rank.]
[You Have A Father: This is a talent that can alter your birth. When equipped, you will randomly become the son of someone in the Shinobi World. The higher the color rank, the stronger your father will be.]
[Purple is a high rank. Your father is an existence surpassing the Jonin-level.]
Seeing this wave of system explanations, Takumi became excited!
'Damn, this is stacking the buffs to the max!'
'One Black-Gold, one Black, one Purple.'
'A quite luxurious lineup!'
'What kind of life will unfold this time?'
'Tenacious life force... what can that do...' Several different life paths were already forming in Takumi's mind.
But for some reason, he felt each life's outcome would be somewhat tragic!
Because... the primary use of an immortal body seemed to be for experimentation!
"Whatever, let's simulate first!"
Taking a deep breath, he commanded loudly in his mind:
'System, start simulation!'
[Starting simulation!]
[Equipped Talents: Tenacious Life, Time Machine, You Have A Father!]
[Generating scenes in real-time.]
[Please wait...]
After a series of hurried mechanical sounds, the system began the simulation.
And Takumi, as if experiencing it firsthand, began another brand new life.
[You open your eyes. Your surroundings are filled with green liquid.]
[You find tubes connected to your arms, abdomen, and shoulders. You have an oxygen mask on your mouth. You are still an infant.]
[You struggle to get out of this strange liquid, but the next moment, a purplish-black liquid is injected into your body through a tube.]
[You fall unconscious again.]
[You don't know how much time passes before you wake up again.]
[When you open your eyes again, you see a pale face outside the glass container.]
[You recognize him. It's Orochimaru, and a young Orochimaru at that.]
[You deduce the current time is probably before the Second Shinobi World War.]
[A few hours later, the solution in the cultivation pod is drained. You are taken out by Orochimaru, wrapped in a towel.]
[From his conversation with his assistant, you learn your identity.]
[You are a scientific test subject. Your task is to act as a culture medium to be infected with all the poisons of this Shinobi World.]
