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

"That guy is truly a self-important fool."

After leaving Nagato's hiding spot, Obito scoffed disdainfully, "Who does he think he is? Does he really believe he's a god?"

"At least the Rinnegan is on him, and we really do need him." Hearing Obito's words, Black Zetsu reminded him.

"Also, don't talk about speeding things up. It'll kill him. I know you're anxious, but some things can only happen slowly."

"Hmph."

Obito scoffed again, but he didn't refute Black Zetsu's words.

Being brutally beaten by Takemi had already made him miserable enough. Now an even more despair-inducing 'Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki' had appeared. How could he accept this?

If it weren't for his incredibly firm conviction, he might have already given up.

"I hope he does well, but I really hope he confronts that guy. At least it'll teach him a lesson."

He's probably going to be beaten to death, and even his Rinnegan will be stolen.

Black Zetsu inwardly grumbled. He certainly didn't think Nagato could contend with a true Ōtsutsuki.

"Then I'll leave first. I need to prepare well. Also, Itachi and Kisame will need a good Medical Ninja."

Obito was extremely annoyed, but he forced himself to calm down.

"That Shinno is said to be good. I didn't have a chance to deal with him last time, but this time I'll go find him."

"Suit yourself, but be careful." Black Zetsu reminded him.

This period had been too strange, they kept encountering all sorts of bizarre individuals.

They had to be careful.

"I know."

Obito nodded.

The next moment, his figure vanished from the spot, and Black Zetsu let out a long sigh.

"I hope this works."

Black Zetsu had thought of every possible method, trying to use people from Konoha and the Akatsuki together.

This was the best solution he could think of. Of course, there were other methods he could try, which was to use White Zetsu's cells.

However, he didn't dare to use this method recklessly, it could only be a last resort.

He looked up at the sky, then slowly spoke, "Mother, I will do everything within my power, everything I can do."

While the Great Toad Sage was being pressured by Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki to consider whether he should personally intervene, Black Zetsu was forced to consider having the entire Akatsuki stir up trouble during the Chunin Exams.

But the instigator, Takemi, was currently tormenting Hiruzen in the Hokage Office.

"So, you really pulled it off?"

Hiruzen looked at Takemi with a bewildered expression, then glanced at Kakashi and Jiraiya beside him.

"That's right, he really did." Kakashi nodded.

Jiraiya also said, "Ice Release, absolutely no problem. And he has fulfilled Minato's long-cherished wish by combining Ice Release with the Rasengan."

Thinking of everything that had just happened, Jiraiya and Kakashi were filled with emotion.

That level of Chakra control, that mastery over Chakra, without the slightest hesitation or delay, made them feel it was out of their league.

"Is that so..."

Hiruzen took a deep breath, then gripped his pipe tightly, trying his best not to let his hands tremble, and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible.

"Takemi, I remember I told you not to risk trying things and to inform us beforehand so we could prepare. Why did you..."

"Actually, I didn't expect it to happen either."

Takemi blinked, looking at Hiruzen with a 'disciplined student-like gaze'.

"I was just recalling the Chakra ratio of Ice Release from that person named Haku. I didn't expect that when I manipulated those two streams of Chakra, they would naturally begin to merge."

"And I couldn't stop the process, but thankfully, it didn't absorb too much of my Chakra, so..."

Recalling the Ice Release Chakra ratio?

The merging process didn't absorb too much Chakra?

Even Jiraiya and Kakashi twitched their mouths hearing these words, and Hiruzen's eyes widened even further at this moment.

The fusion of a Kekkei Genkai...

Is it that simple?

The Ninja World is vast, and the population is immense, yet Kekkei Genkai clans and Ninja are so few.

No matter how you look at it, it proves how difficult Kekkei Genkai are. This kid...

He's too reckless, this kid is truly too reckless!

"Very good, you performed exceptionally well!"

Although he was roaring inwardly, and even glared fiercely at Jiraiya and Kakashi out of the corner of his eye, Hiruzen turned his head and looked at Takemi with a wide smile.

"It was just too risky. The fusion of a Kekkei Genkai is an extremely dangerous thing, and you must understand this no matter what."

"I hope you can go to Tsunade for a check-up. You are Konoha's future, and absolutely nothing can go wrong."

"At the same time, I also hope you can settle down properly, and master what you've learned, instead of just swallow whole. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I understand, Hokage-sama." Takemi nodded.

He knew what was good and bad. He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"Mm." Hiruzen nodded.

Seeing Jiraiya and Kakashi about to leave, he immediately spoke, "You two, please stay for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

"..."

Jiraiya and Kakashi exchanged glances, as if they both saw the words 'death sentence' in each other's eyes.

But Takemi had already patted his butt and walked out.

"Today is truly a good day."

Listening to Hiruzen cursing loudly upstairs, seemingly scolding Jiraiya and Kakashi again for their lax supervision, he couldn't help but blink.

"Should I find an opportunity to go out and try my Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion?"

Once he gained an ability, he had to try it out, otherwise he wouldn't be sure of its effect.

"Takemi!"

However, just then, Naruto and Sasuke suddenly ran over, bringing him back to reality.

He asked, "Why are you two here? Aren't you training?"

"We were worried about you! You suddenly got taken away, and we were worried if something was wrong."

Naruto immediately shouted loudly, but still, like Sasuke, he carefully examined Takemi.

"Are you okay?"

"What could be wrong with me?"

Takemi shook his head with a slight laugh. Naruto really did care about him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. And I even encountered something good."

"Eh? Something good?"

Sasuke and Naruto's eyes widened instantly, while Takemi pretended to stroke his chin.

"Hokage-sama told me to prepare for this year's Jonin exam."

"J-Jonin?! You?"

"That's right, a Jonin just like the Pervy Sage! And I can be in charge of the Genin and Chunin exams too."

"..."

"So, you two might very well be assessed by me then. How about it, aren't you happy? Isn't this good news?"

"..."

Good news?

Happy?

Naruto and Sasuke fell silent. They felt a chill run down their spines, and Naruto even felt like crying.

Falling into this guy's hands, do they truly have a future?
