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

Six Paths Pain was strong, but when dispersed, the pressure on him wasn't great at all. He could deal with everything in his normal state.

The only thing he regretted was that the effect of his Talk no Jutsu wasn't very good, or rather, it had the opposite effect.

He tried to lecture Nagato, only to be hit with a Shinra Tensei in return.

"I should have talked to him about bonds and friendship instead. Maybe we could have gotten along."

However, Takemi was petty. If they couldn't agree, then there was nothing to talk about.

If Nagato dared to make a move, he would immediately retaliate. That one strike not only hit Nagato but also a poor unfortunate soul...

"Look at this, Kakashi-sensei." Takemi took out a scroll and quickly unrolled it.

"This is…"

Along with the spreading smoke, a small piece of white flesh, a shriveled arm and leg, and a pair of twin swords appeared before him the next moment.

"This piece of flesh is small, I cut it from Obito's body. I felt something was off, so I collected it." Takemi said.

In fact, he was very conflicted about whether to take this out. But after much thought, he felt that this thing seemed useless to him because he already had the power he needed.

Konoha would discover this thing in the future anyway, so he simply decided to gradually reveal it and see the effect. Besides, he still had two more of Obito's arms.

As for Nagato's...

Let it be a war trophy. He didn't want this thing to be picked up.

"I wonder if he's dead."

Takemi was somewhat conflicted about Nagato's life or death after making his move.

It would naturally be best if he didn't die. He could help him collect Tailed Beasts, and there wouldn't be as many missions if he died.

If he died...

"A bit troublesome, but Obito's actions won't stop. At worst, I can only operate as 'Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki.'"

Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki was his last resort. Generally, he wouldn't use that account easily, but he also wouldn't hold back from using it.

"These two swords belong to Raiga." Takemi continued, not specifically explaining Nagato's condition.

"If I remember correctly, he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. He also died here today, so I naturally took his swords."

"Those people from Kirigakure really can't get along with us."

Kakashi couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he looked at the two swords. He found that over the years, the relationship with people from Kirigakure always seemed to be tangled.

And the Akatsuki seemed to particularly enjoy recruiting Kirigakure rogue ninjas: Jūzō, Kisame.

And now, another Raiga. He even wondered if the Akatsuki was specifically targeting Kirigakure rogue ninja for recruitment.

"Forget it, let's put them away. We should head back." Kakashi rubbed his head and then suddenly smiled.

"But our luck is good this time, it seems neither of us got hurt."

"Indeed, our luck was decent this time."

Takemi scrutinized Kakashi, then stroked his chin and nodded.

"But let's discuss this later. During the battle just now, I seemed to sense an unusual Chakra."

"An unusual Chakra?"

"That's right, that Chakra was very special. It was originally within Kusagakure but then it seemed to leave the village. I think we can search for it."

"Is that so?"

Kakashi pondered for a moment. The unusual Chakra Takemi mentioned, no matter how he looked at it, wouldn't be simple.

Although he didn't know what was going on, searching for it wouldn't be...

"Wait, did you just say Kusagakure?"

"Mm."

"You fought near Kusagakure?"

"It seems so."

"…"

Kakashi froze, his face turning pale.

That giant rock exploding near Kusagakure, he couldn't even imagine the consequences.

It's over...

Kakashi swallowed, while Takemi blinked beside him, because he noticed his system had flashed.

[Completed Side Mission: My Setting is Above Yours]

[Reward: Rinnegan's Yin Release Power]

Seeing this reward, Takemi's eyes lit up. What he lacked right now was Yin Release!

"Also, my setting is above Nagato's. It's not that I distorted Pain…"

"Did I just slice Nagato?"

Takemi wasn't too concerned about Nagato's fate.

But he had to admit, what Nagato gave him was truly good.

"Rinnegan's Yin Release Chakra?"

Takemi stroked his chin. This thing was really important to him.

His eye's potential, at present, seemed to be higher than Madara's Rinnegan.

At least he was gaining more and more abilities, and the effects were quite sufficient.

"And I have a feeling that my eyes might be about to upgrade soon."

He had a good sense of his own eyes. After absorbing a small amount of Nine-Tails Chakra, the speed at which his eyes absorbed Chakra began to accelerate.

Especially with the emergence of the 'god tree source,' his eyes' transformation progressed by leaps and bounds.

Although it was still in a state of rapid Chakra absorption, he knew that this would soon slow down and begin to brew.

"Just like the first transformation of my eyes."

He was looking forward to that day. He had been looking forward to the second stage of the Tenseigan for a long time.

"Are you sure Kusagakure is alright?"

While Takemi was thinking about other things, Kakashi couldn't hold back anymore.

Ever since he had heard that 'bad news,' he had been completely silent.

Especially after arriving at Takemi's battleground via Flying Thunder God, his face completely fell.

"Although Kusagakure has many problems, and even provided a lot of help to Iwagakure during the war, it is now considered our implicit ally, you…"

"I don't know."

Takemi instantly gave an excellent answer. He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"It was Pain who dragged me around, I'm not sure what he wanted to do."

"You didn't know Kusagakure was nearby?"

"My geography isn't good."

"Nonsense, I remember you were excellent at everything except calculations."

Kakashi rubbed his forehead. He didn't know what to say now, and he didn't even dare to look towards Kusagakure.

The entire perimeter looked like it had been through a 'natural disaster.' He couldn't even imagine the current situation of Kusagakure.

He only had one thought: run quickly, and leave the rest to Hokage-sama to handle.

"Found it, over there."

However, as he was pondering, Takemi suddenly pointed in a direction.

"That Chakra is heading that way, we might catch up if we hurry."

"Sigh."

Kakashi sighed. Seeing Takemi already running, he immediately followed.

But in his dilemma, he looked at the mess before him, and a hint of pride welled up in his heart.

He had watched Takemi's growth every step of the way.

Although he was already very powerful from graduation until he came under his tutelage, his immaturity at that time was also visible to the naked eye.

"Has he grown to the point of being a pillar of the village? It's truly incredible!"

Except for being too much trouble…

As he thought, he had already followed Takemi into a heap of ruins.
