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

Jiraiya frowned and immediately spoke, "Tell me the detailed process. What exactly happened?"

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded, then briefly recounted the battle experience.

However, most of what he said focused on the engagement with Obito, he didn't say much about Takemi's side.

"Finally, Obito was forced to go for a rescue and was injured by Takemi, who also left behind some items."

Kakashi took out a scroll, and with a puff of smoke, a pair of swords and a piece of white tissue appeared before everyone's eyes.

"These are the spoils of war Takemi left behind. Nagato was also severely injured by Takemi."

"Was he that powerful?"

Even just hearing fragments was enough to make Jiraiya and the other two incredulous.

Whether it was hearing about that gigantic, sky-obscuring sphere, or Takemi shattering it with a single blow, it was beyond their imagination.

They were now more curious about what Takemi had done and what his current condition was.

"He really wasn't injured?"

The Third Hokage asked anxiously, and Kakashi shook his head.

"Don't worry, Takemi is really fine. As for the specific details of the other side, let Karin explain."

"Hmm? This is…"

Just as the Third Hokage was about to speak, Tsunade suddenly seemed to notice something.

She quickly walked over to the tissue and examined it carefully. A moment later, her expression completely changed.

"There seems to be a unique power on this. This power… is probably why Obito can use Wood Release."

"What?"

As soon as Wood Release was mentioned, Hiruzen's expression instantly became serious.

"Are you saying this thing is the key? Can you confirm it?"

"No, I just have this feeling. I must take it back and study it carefully." Tsunade spoke in a low voice.

At this moment, Kakashi added, "Takemi also said that he felt something was wrong with this piece of flesh, so he kept it and asked me to hand it over to Hokage-sama. It seems there's indeed a big problem here."

"This is more than just a big problem."

Hiruzen's face was very grim, recalling Hanzo's words. Even if he was just a clone, being able to say it must have been under the instruction of the real Hanzo.

Konoha had also been investigating what was going on with Obito's Wood Release, but unfortunately, they had never found any clues.

But now, he felt as if he saw a direction.

Hanzo said someone in Konoha was leaking intelligence to the Akatsuki, and although Konoha had stopped the Wood Release experiments back then, still…

"Danzo and Orochimaru were still researching. Could it be…?"

Hiruzen dared not think further. The more he thought, the more serious he felt the problem was!

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest. Rubbing his temples, he simply spoke.

"Tsunade, go and study it thoroughly, but this matter must be kept secret. Besides us, absolutely no one else must know!"

"Yes."

"Let that girl come in. Kakashi, why did you let her speak, and why did you bring her back?"

"Because… she witnessed everything, and she is also very special. Her sensory abilities are extremely strong, and her blood is said to have powerful healing effects, which is why Takemi suggested bringing her back."

Kakashi didn't dare to say too much about Karin's matter, he could only give a vague explanation.

His peripheral vision glanced at Tsunade, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the Anbu brought Karin in.

"Don't be nervous."

Karin still looked very nervous. Fortunately, Hiruzen had managed to restore himself to his 'kind' mode.

He smiled and said, "I know your name, Karin. I am the Third Hokage of Konoha. Can you tell me what you saw?"

"Someone deliberately tried to destroy Kusagakure, and a Konoha Ninja saved Kusagakure!"

Karin was already nervous, and as soon as she spoke, Hiruzen's expression stiffened, while Kakashi had quietly retreated behind Jiraiya and Tsunade.

"…Kusagakure?"

"Yes, Kusagakure. All of this was caused by those bad guys!"

"What happened to Kusagakure?"

"…"

And just as Kakashi and the others were discussing in the Hokage Office, Takemi, at home, slowly opened his eyes.

At that very instant, he quietly vanished from the house, and in the sky, a surge of energy seemed to be constantly shifting.

Immediately, an invisible force vibrated in the air, quietly descending into a hidden corner of the Land of Fire.

The power of the sky was secretly trembling.

On the moon, the three Ōtsutsuki watched numbly as the giant Tenseigan erupted once again.

This eye had been calm for a rare period, which allowed them to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

But that calm was broken once again, and this time they clearly felt the 'Giant Tenseigan' was even more out of control.

"That guy is here again, and this time, his control has become even stronger?"

The Great Elder couldn't help but sigh. The level of control was growing stronger and stronger, making it increasingly difficult for them to handle.

"Can we locate this person?"

The Third Elder was truly fed up. He asked in a low voice, "If we can find him, can we do something?"

"It's difficult. His control over the Tenseigan is getting stronger and stronger. If we act rashly, the consequences will be very bad."

The Second Elder shook his head, opposing such a move.

"I am not timid, but the current situation is as it is. And have you ever considered, who exactly is it that is activating this power?"

"Who?"

The Great Elder was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly his pale eyes widened instantly.

"You mean, this person might not be from the Ninja World?"

"Not from the Ninja World, then that's…"

The Third Elder was also stunned, and his expression changed slightly.

The information on the moon was far more extensive than that in the Ninja World. After all, the internal strife on the moon was a great war within their clan, and they had intentionally preserved many things.

The things left behind by their ancestors were naturally well preserved, and they indeed knew a great deal.

Even if many things were unclear, they vaguely understood that there was another clan that came from the heavens…

"Don't think too much. Perhaps it's a Hyuga from that group, or perhaps during our great war, some coward from the main family secretly fled to the Ninja World."

At the crucial moment, it was still the Great Elder who interrupted everything.

He took a deep breath and spoke coldly, "Don't think too much about this matter. Our current task is still to cultivate Toneri, as for the others…"

"Hmph, if that guy goes too far, we will retaliate, and don't forget."

"The people from the Heavens are the ones who most want to destroy the Ninja World!"
