Naruto: What Kind of Starter Pack is 13 Years Late?

"Even if I can't kill him, I need to confirm the range. Next year... Hmm?"

Nagato thought to himself, but at this moment, he suddenly froze, because he saw a Chakra sphere appear in Takemi's hand.

This sphere continuously expanded, and in an instant, it had become enormous.

"Rasengan? He wants to deal with Ch8baku Tensei?"

Nagato felt that Takemi was crazy, but Takemi didn't pay him any mind. After compressing the 'Rasengan' in his hand, he fiercely unleashed it.

"I'll call you, Starry Rasengan."

The massive Rasengan suddenly descended, and in an instant, a brilliant white light flashed from the sky.

This light even surpassed the sun, and as the two collided, the entire world became silent for a moment.

The pressure in the air was almost suffocating, and a fear of impending doom surged into their hearts.

"What kind of power is this..."

Below, Raiga looked up at the sky in disbelief. He felt as if he had participated in a battle that didn't belong to him.

"What exactly... is going on?"

In the distance, the people of Kusagakure were stunned, staring blankly at everything before them.

Even their leader was motionless at this moment, his heart feeling somewhat numb.

"We must get further away!"

Only Karin had already retreated behind everyone. She was the one who knew best how dangerous it was here.

Boom—

The next moment, a massive explosion suddenly erupted.

A visible shockwave instantly tore through the earth.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a vast forest was swept away by this shockwave, no longer lush and green.

Trees in the distance were instantly ignited by this roaring power, and large sections of the forest were already engulfed in towering flames.

And around Kusagakure, that terrifying force instantly blew away the outer buildings, turning them into bare ground.

The ground also sank downwards, and this impact continued to move towards the interior of Kusagakure, even affecting the Ninjas who had already come out.

In the sky, the massive sphere collapsed, and countless pieces of rubble, carrying flames and frost, crashed down to the ground with a roar.

Looking out, it was like a natural disaster!

"How is this possible..."

Pain looked at this scene, his hands subtly trembling.

And in the distance, at Nagato's hidden location, sweat slowly flowed down his face, and blood continuously seeped from his nose.

Chibaku Tensei, even though he used his full power, still had an enormous toll on him. He originally thought that with such a technique, even Takemi would have to retreat.

He never expected him to shatter it with a single Rasengan.

This also forced him to use Shinra Tensei for defense, otherwise this area would also be affected.

"Go, hurry and go!"

Suddenly, Nagato weakly spoke to Konan, who was full of worry beside him.

"Only this place isn't damaged. He must have locked onto this place. Hurry and go."

"It seems."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Takemi's voice already sounded from outside.

"You're too late."

"What... what exactly happened here?"

Outside Kusagakure, a group of Kusa Ninjas stumbled to their feet.

They stared blankly at the scene before them, each looking lost and helpless.

"No... no way, how is this possible?"

"Am I dreaming? If so, please wake me up quickly!"

"Is this something a Ninja can even do...?"

"Damn it, why are there such monsters!"

Looking at the destruction before their eyes, then at the village that was almost half destroyed, and recalling the earth-shattering explosion in their minds...

Each of them was on the verge of a breakdown. They couldn't imagine how many casualties they would have suffered if they hadn't decisively evacuated the people in the village.

Even now, their casualties were probably quite significant.

The Ninjas who had left the village, ready to do something at any moment, were caught in the aftermath and suffered terribly.

"It seems... this is an opportunity."

Most of the Ninjas from Kusagakure had already collapsed, including their leader.

But Karin, who had sensed the danger beforehand and reacted, was not as severely affected, and she didn't dare to show her face now.

With such heavy casualties, she couldn't imagine what those people would do to her.

She had wanted to leave Kusagakure for a long time. This place had only brought her pain and torment.

She still remembered how her mother died, and she didn't aspire for revenge. She only longed to leave this place and never return.

Thinking of this, Karin quietly disappeared into the shadows.

"It's dark, it's so scary here."

As the Kusa ninjas were helpless and despairing, the ground rippled, and Black Zetsu suddenly emerged from the earth.

Looking at the apocalyptic scene, White Zetsu no longer smiled. Instead, he feigned fear.

"If we're not careful, we might die, sigh. If we die, we can't try to pull..."

"Shut up!"

Black Zetsu rudely interrupted White Zetsu, his expression somewhat grim.

"What exactly happened here? Tell me quickly, don't waste time talking nonsense!"

After dealing with Hanzo, Black Zetsu wanted to come over immediately, but he also had to handle some lingering issues.

With Hanzo showing himself, a series of subsequent arrangements had to be made, otherwise, it would bring considerable trouble to Amegakure.

After taking care of it, he rushed over at the first opportunity, and then he saw all of this before his eyes.

"They started fighting, huh."

White Zetsu scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Obito and Kakashi are fighting somewhere, and Takemi is facing Raiga and Nagato alone. I don't know where they went now."

"You don't know either?"

"Nagato used a jutsu, making a really, really big ball, which forced my clones back."

"A really, really big ball... Chibaku Tensei?"

"I don't know, but Takemi also used a jutsu that shattered that jutsu, and many of my clones lost contact."

"Shattered Chibaku Tensei?"

Upon hearing this news, Black Zetsu's eyes changed.

Black Zetsu knew very well what Chibaku Tensei was. His mother was sealed by his two 'good older brothers' using this jutsu.

Nagato's use of it was certainly not as powerful, but for it to be directly shattered, wasn't that too outrageous?

"Yeah, it was directly shattered."

White Zetsu nodded, then suddenly, he seemed to sense something.

"Oh, oh, I think I found Takemi."

"Where is he?"

"His Chakra seems to be with Nagato."

"..."

At that moment, Black Zetsu genuinely felt like dying.

But then he thought, if Takemi obtains the Rinnegan, is there a possibility of him dealing with Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki?
