[When you turn three, Sandaime Raikage begins training you.]
[But you don't display the excellent physical talent matching your brothers.]
[Your talent is average. During physical training, you always tire out quickly.]
[Whenever this happens, Sandaime Raikage promptly arrives with a cane and whips you mercilessly to your limit of endurance.]
[You always subconsciously dodge Sandaime Raikage's whipping.]
[The whip is dodged, Sandaime Raikage continues whipping, but you still dodge all of them.]
[When extracting Chakra progresses slowly, Sandaime Raikage still whips you.]
[Facing Sandaime Raikage's whipping, you still dodge all of it.]
[Dodge, dodge... In short, all punishments are completely dodged by you.]
"Ah, so this is the manifestation of this talent?"
'Becoming the man who makes others always MISS?!'
Takumi became interested.
He was starting to see that the [Singular Resistance] this time was probably a skill specifically for practicing dodging!
He knew very well how terrifying Singular Resistance could become later on.
If he could truly achieve dodging all attacks, this simulation would likely give birth to another invincible existence.
[When learning Nin-Taijutsu, your progress is still slow.]
[Sandaime Raikage's whipping immediately appears but is completely dodged by you as if by instinct.]
[When learning Lightning Release Ninjutsu, because you can't perform a complete technique, you face Sandaime Raikage's whipping again.]
[But it's still completely dodged by you.]
[At this point, Sandaime Raikage vaguely senses that you seem to have a different kind of talent.]
[Because, since he started training you, despite so many beatings, not a single one has actually hit you.]
[This is ridiculous!]
'Even Sandaime Raikage's attacks can be dodged.'
'Although Sandaime Raikage probably isn't using his full strength, it's not something one can just dodge at will.'
'And if training continues, surely the simulated me could even dodge Sandaime Raikage's attacks at full power!'
Takumi was very confident about this.
[By age four, A and B take you up the mountain to hunt.]
["See that rabbit? Kill it." A points at a grey rabbit not far away.]
[You gather Lightning Release Chakra, aim at the rabbit, but ultimately can't bring yourself to release the technique.]
["Do it now!" A suddenly shouts. Startled, you randomly release the technique in another direction.]
[The rabbit, frightened, quickly hops away.]
["Aiya! You idiot!" Frustrated by his younger brother's weakness, A angrily kicks at you, but you dodge it with a bizarre posture.]
[Instead, A, who used full force, loses his balance and falls in a wretched state on the ground.]
["Ah! I must teach you a lesson!" A shouts angrily and chases after you to beat you up.]
[The two of you chase wildly, jumping up and down. No matter what attack methods A uses, you always manage to dodge his attacks at the critical moment.]
[In the end, the practice ends with you completely unharmed again.]
'The dodge ability has already reached this level?'
'But this is still childhood. Although A is angry, he isn't using his full strength.'
'The dodge ability probably still needs improvement.'
Takumi showed an expectant smile.
[On one hand, your dodge talent begins to show, and on the other hand, your compassionate nature is gradually exposed.]
[You can't stand killing, not even an ant.]
[You will shout to stop others when they are about to step on an ant.]
[Seeing the lively fish in a fisherman's basket fills you with reluctance, so you buy them all and release them into the river.]
[If you find an injured bird that cannot fly, you will take it home and care for it meticulously until it can fly again.]
[If you see someone trying to harm a deer, you will shout and scream to make the deer run away quickly.]
[If you see children bullying stray cats or dogs, you will step in to stop them.]
[Your various behaviors are all seen by your two brothers, and they are very disappointed by your benevolence.]
[Because this is the least needed quality for a Shinobi.]
Reading this, Takumi also felt some concern.
'Monk: compassionate, never killing.'
'Singular Resistance trains dodging.'
'So it's the type that doesn't fight back?'
'Wouldn't that be somewhat too frustrating?'
With these doubts, Takumi continued reading.
[Because your actions don't align with Kumogakure's rugged customs, the village's children always want to tease you.]
[After discovering you won't harm small animals, they drive a puppy to bite you.]
[You naturally won't strike the puppy, but you perfectly dodge all of the puppy's attacks.]
[After chasing for two hours, the puppy is exhausted lying on the ground, but you are still full of vitality.]
[Because when dodging, you don't need large movements, and just a slight dodge at the most critical point consumes very little stamina.]
[The children, unwilling to accept this, throw stones at you.]
[But you still easily dodge them.]
'These brats!'
Takumi said through gritted teeth.
Even though they were all dodged, he deeply hated this kind of reckless bratty behavior.
What he hated wasn't the brats themselves, but their parents' indulgence.
It was precisely because of the parents' inaction that the brats became spoiled, leading them to not understand the potential serious consequences of their actions.
'Lucky it's the Monk version this time. If it were the brute version, I'd scatter your ashes!'
["There's an old grandmother in the mountains who accidentally fell!" A child tells you with a giggle.]
[Your compassionate heart overflows, and you immediately go up the mountain towards the old grandmother's direction.]
[But who knew it was a trick? Along the path you take, there are many traps.]
[Flying stones, trip ropes, paralyzing powder, nets that hoist people up, etc.]
[But they are all easily dodged by you.]
[Afterwards, you disappointedly discover that there are only some old monkeys soaking in the hot spring, no fallen old grandmother at all.]
'Hey, isn't this personality a bit too straightforward?' Takumi complained speechlessly.
'They're just brats lying, and you trust them just like that?'
The more Takumi complained, the weirder he felt.
'It seemed this Monk talent really was kind to the extreme!'
[You come down the mountain.]
[Little do you know, there are others observing in the mountains at this time.]
[That's right, it's Sandaime Raikage and B, your father and brother.]
["What the hell? Dodged everything?"]
["Those are traps used for the Chunin Exams! A full twenty-plus of them, and he didn't fall for a single one?"]
[After secretly observing everything, Sandaime Raikage finally confirms you have a unique dodge talent.]
["You have an innate talent, but it still needs training. You must train this talent to be the best in the entire Shinobi World." Sandaime Raikage says to you.]
[Under Sandaime Raikage's guidance, you also discover your extreme talent for dodging, but you also know your physical fitness limits your upper potential.]
[From then on, your training, aside from basic Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, is completely replaced with dodge training.]
[Initially, training involves throwing stones.]
[2 adult Shinobi throw stones at you from different directions.]
[Unlike the children's strength, adult Shinobi have stronger arm strength, and the stones are faster.]
[After you still dodge them all, the number increases to 3.]
[3 people, and adults throwing stones, increases the dodge difficulty several times.]
[But you still dodge them.]
[Then, 4 people.]
[You still dodge them.]
[But the process is already somewhat difficult.]
[Increased to 5 people. When you dodge them, there is already some sweat on your forehead, indicating you are somewhat straining.]
[Sandaime Raikage added another person. However, this time you couldn't dodge them all and were hit by a stone.]
[Your face was injured, bleeding. You felt the pain of being hit for the first time.]
'As expected, there's still room for improvement.'
'But since training has started, rapid improvement will surely come eventually.'
Takumi watched the little Takumi in the simulation, only four years old, gritting his teeth through training.
He felt somewhat reluctant in his heart, but also somewhat moved.
Because the final benefits of the simulated training all went to him.
Yet he wouldn't suffer this hardship.
The suffering during the training process was all borne by the simulated Takumi.
For this, Takumi always held a sense of gratitude…
Gratitude towards himself.
