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

Naruto pursed his lips, but finally, he smiled.

Only by gaining everyone's recognition can one become Hokage. So that's how it is?

It seemed that although not many people recognized him yet, this was also a direction to strive for.

And, unknowingly, quite a few people seemed to recognize him already...

"Hmm?"

Taking Naruto out of the room and heading towards the barbecue restaurant, Takemi suddenly felt his system ping, which immediately made him realize something.

[Obtained Naruto's Exclusive Side Mission]

[Naruto's Grades Aren't Ideal]

[Witness the transformation of the Dead Last]

[Exclusive Side Missions Do Not Affect Normal Side Missions]

[Accept?]

Takemi looked at the unbelievable panel. His long-awaited Naruto exclusive mission had finally arrived?

"Witness his graduation?" Takemi muttered to himself.

It seemed he didn't have to do anything and could still complete it?

But after thinking about it, he still walked and took out his forehead protector, placing it on Naruto's head.

"Dead last, you've graduated."

"Huh?"

Naruto was at a loss, but Takemi was a little disappointed. As expected, this wasn't going to work.

But no matter what, he seemed to finally see hope. There was more than one exclusive mission.

"Indra and Asura's Chakra, is it finally going to slowly arrive?"

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He retrieved his forehead protector and looked at the still bewildered Naruto, then smiled.

"Just kidding. Let's go, I'm hungry."

"Oh."

Naruto was both a little excited and a little disappointed. He really wished he could graduate just like that.

But unfortunately, that was impossible, though his goal wouldn't change.

"I'll definitely graduate and become Hokage even without you doing that!"

"Tch."

Takemi pursed his lips disdainfully, but then he suddenly saw Karin approaching him, accompanied by Anbu.

"Huh, Karin? What are you doing here?"

"H-hello!"

Karin was still a little afraid of Takemi, after all, she had witnessed Takemi's strength.

"The adults told me to come find you. They're all very busy right now..."

"Find me? What's going on with them?"

"Hokage-sama... after hearing about Kusagakure, he suddenly fell ill..."

...

"Then the adults quickly sent Hokage-sama to the hospital, so..."

...

Takemi remained silent, and Naruto's eyes widened in shock. Such a thing happened?

After a while, Takemi sighed, his gaze turning to Naruto.

"Remember to buy flowers for me from Ino."

"This will cost my money too? And who is this?"

"Don't worry about who she is. Anyway, as you can see, being Hokage isn't easy..."

...

Konoha passed peacefully amidst such a harmonious and chaotic intertwining.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Grass, Black Zetsu fell into deep thought as he looked at the coffin in front of him.

At the same time, in Otogakure in the Land of Rice Fields.

Orochimaru opened the scroll in his hand. After carefully reading it, a hint of a smile appeared on his pale face.

"It seems the preparations are almost complete. Only a few details need to be added."

"Konoha, I'm coming!"

Ever since he was tricked by Danzo, which led to his disastrous defeat in the Land of Wind, he had been planning his revenge against Danzo.

Although it seemed a bit petty, he knew that Danzo was better off dead than alive.

"Especially since my teacher is too soft-hearted. Even if I reveal some crucial evidence, he won't kill him. And a person like Danzo…"

Orochimaru felt he had no morals, and Danzo was an even more black-hole-like existence.

With that guy still alive, Orochimaru himself couldn't rest easy, so it would be better to send him off quickly.

"Too bad, I don't have enough manpower, otherwise things could have been stirred up even more."

Orochimaru sighed. The scale of this Chunin Exams was much grander than before.

Aside from the Ninja Villages of the smaller nations, the Ninja Villages of the Five Great Nations had also issued statements agreeing to participate in this joint exam.

Although part of it was to save on their own expenses, they also had the idea of showing off their strength.

At that time, Konoha would inevitably be very chaotic, which also gave him a better opportunity.

"If I had more manpower, I could do a lot more things."

Orochimaru was a bit depressed. He knew that the various Kage would probably come in person, and such an opportunity was rare.

It was hard to say how bad the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha was, after all, they had fought to the death during the Third Great Ninja War. This grudge was not so easily forgotten.

And Kumogakure…

The Fourth Raikage was utterly bewildered by Takemi, and he heard that his arm was cut off. They definitely had a strong dislike for Konoha.

As for Rasa of Sunagakure, Orochimaru didn't even put him in his eyes. He even considered whether he should kill Rasa and impersonate the Kazekage.

"If someone else impersonated the Mizukage, and then casually caused a disturbance, Konoha would be quite interesting."

Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt some regret. He really wanted to carry out a 'Konoha Crush Plan'.

After all, the opportunity was so good, but he didn't have enough manpower, and Konoha was not simple now, so he could only sigh.

"Let's try our best. Maybe someone will be eager to make a move. The primary target is still Danzo!"

While Orochimaru was plotting his actions against Konoha, Obito was also working hard.

"How have your investigations into the situation in Konoha gone?"

He twisted his neck and looked at Black Zetsu, who immediately spoke.

"The general situation has been pretty much investigated. Many people are going to Konoha this time, and Konoha's security level won't be low, but this situation is better for us."

"Mixed bag of people, huh. Konoha is really confident." Obito nodded, his eyes somewhat cold.

"Have you located the Nine-Tails?"

"Located him, but there's also some trouble. Takemi and that Nine-Tails brat are very close."

"No surprise, Konoha would definitely arrange it that way."

"…"

Black Zetsu didn't know how to respond to that. He just felt that Obito was taking too much for granted.

Takemi and Naruto had known each other since childhood, and they didn't live far apart. It didn't seem like Konoha deliberately arranged it?

After all, he had also investigated Takemi's background, but this investigation made him extremely emotional. How could there be such a genius?

This made him feel that Takemi might not be as simple as he had imagined. Could it be a case of atavism?

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and was too lazy to refute Obito.

"Actually, there's no need to worry too much. That guy has been a Jonin for a long time. He must have other missions during this Chunin Exams and won't be constantly watching the Nine-Tails."

"I hope so."

Obito nodded, but before he finished speaking, White Zetsu suddenly asked curiously, "Oh right, Obito, Takemi became a Jonin at fourteen, didn't he? What were you doing when you were fourteen?"

"I controlled the Nine-Tails and destroyed Konoha. Are you satisfied?"

Obito was too lazy to bother with that idiot White Zetsu, but when it came to what he did at the same age, he wasn't modest at all.

"And now I'll do it again. I just wonder if Takemi has the same resolve as Minato."

"This time will only be more chaotic than before."
