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

Takemi nodded with certainty. After all, he really had been dragged over by Hiruzen for a lecture.

However, it wasn't because Naruto and Sasuke blew up someone's house, but because Naruto's 'Harem Jutsu' knocked Hiruzen down...

Fortunately, not too much was said about that, and then the topic shifted to the Kekkei Genkai issue and the Jonin exam issue.

After he created Ice Release, Hiruzen was particularly concerned about him.

"You're excellent?"

Naruto pursed his lips in annoyance, but after thinking about it, he couldn't really refute it.

This guy in front of him was about to become a Jonin.

Thinking of this, Naruto sighed even more.

"It's over. The village's Jonin have become like this. Does this village have a future? Sure enough, I must become Hokage!"

He recalled that when Takemi encountered a problem, he would immediately cover his face and run away, leaving them behind to be scolded.

Afterward, the school underwent a large-scale rectification, and management became even stricter, making life miserable for all of them.

Who knew how many people were complaining?

After all, it had been changed so many times within a year, each time stricter than the last, and the students couldn't take it anymore.

And Sasuke and Naruto, who knew the truth, dared not say anything, fearing to incur public wrath.

"You becoming Hokage? I think it's still too early. You should first think about when you'll graduate." Takemi snorted lightly.

He stroked his chin and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you should graduate next year. I'll be a Jonin if I pass the exam this year. Tsk, tsk."

"Hey, don't joke around!"

Naruto's eyes widened. His biggest regret now was showing 'Harem Jutsu' to Hiruzen.

He offended the Hokage, could he still run?

He felt like his future was bleak!

"Tsk, tsk, you should go to class. I also need to gather."

Takemi patted Naruto on the head, then spoke softly, "I will apply to Hokage-sama to personally proctor your exam. After all, you got me scolded."

...

Naruto immediately turned ashen, and his walking speed unconsciously slowed down considerably.

Seeing this, Takemi couldn't help but shake his head with a laugh.

"Idiot, Genin graduation exams are conducted by Chunin. It's a pity I'm about to become a Jonin."

Takemi felt somewhat regretful in his heart. Becoming a Jonin meant he couldn't supervise graduation matters, but...

"After you're assigned to a team, you'll most likely still be under Kakashi, and we can have a good exchange during the Chunin Exams."

If nothing unexpected, after the team assignment, Naruto will most likely be under Kakashi.

After all, in Konoha right now, the only person who can both use the Sharingan to teach Sasuke and has intricate ties with Naruto is Kakashi.

It would be unreasonable not to choose him.

"Although it's hard to say if I'll still remain in the team at that time, helping Kakashi train his disciples isn't a big problem..."

He was Kakashi's first disciple, he had privileges.

Thinking to himself, Takemi had already walked towards a training ground.

September was the month of his Jonin exam, and also the moment he would receive his main mission reward.

"You're here."

As soon as he arrived at the training hall, he saw Kakashi leaning against the gate, reading a book and waiting.

Seeing him approach, Kakashi immediately put away his perverted book and said with a smile, "You're quite early. I was worried you'd be late."

"Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei, I would never be late for something like this."

Takemi walked over with a smile, then quietly asked, "Who's the examiner this time? It wouldn't be Kakashi-sensei, would it? If so..."

"It's not me. While it wouldn't be a problem if it were me, you see..." Kakashi shrugged his shoulders.

He led Takemi inside while explaining, "You're too famous. Almost all the Jonin who are currently in the village have come, so we need to avoid suspicion."

"Avoid suspicion?"

Takemi almost rolled his eyes.

"Kakashi-sensei, didn't you say it would just be a formality back then?"

"You scoundrel, don't get me into trouble!"

Kakashi immediately grabbed Takemi, then looked left and right. After finding no one, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never said that. You just interpreted it that way. The person examining you this time is someone you're familiar with, don't worry."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Jiraiya-sama."

"Jiraiya-sama, huh..."

Takemi blinked. It seemed that even with Jiraiya, it wouldn't be a big problem. In other words, it still seemed like a formality.

"You brat..."

Seeing Takemi's expression, Kakashi knew exactly what he was thinking.

He slowly spoke while holding his book, "Be careful. Even though Jiraiya-sama is very familiar with you and has a good relationship, he has to be serious now, so be prepared."

"Yes, I understand."

Takemi nodded, but he was still very confident. After all, he had sparred with Jiraiya quite a bit in the past few months.

"After this is over, we will probably have a new mission."

Kakashi didn't dwell on it further. He put away his novel and spoke in a low voice, which made Takemi raise an eyebrow.

"New mission?"

"Yes, the joint Chunin Exams will begin next year, so we need to go to Amegakure to deliver their invitation."

"Amegakure ..."

"Mm, and also to see if we can investigate the problems in Amegakure. Although Hanzo has sent news, Hokage-sama is worried there might be issues."

Kakashi's voice was very soft. The former was just a superficial mission, the latter was the key.

And Kakashi's words immediately reminded Takemi that he had indeed gone to Amegakure to deliver an invitation before.

However, the Akatsuki had no intention of exposing themselves, so they didn't make things difficult for him and let him leave.

"But now, after all my operations against the Akatsuki, will they still let us go peacefully?"

Takemi was also full of curiosity, and at this moment, his system suddenly flashed.

[Acquired new side mission]

[My Setting is Above Yours]

...

Seeing his system's reaction, Takemi immediately knew that this trip would probably not be easy.

"However, this doesn't seem like a bad thing. It's a good opportunity for my main body to move a bit..."

While pondering this, he and Kakashi had already walked into the arena.

"They're here."

"Is that the kid? I heard he only graduated a year ago?"

"He was trained by Kakashi-senpai and Guy-senpai after all. It's said that Jiraiya-sama also thinks highly of him, perhaps he has the talent of Fourth Hokage-sama."

"Each generation is stronger than the last, huh? Let's trust Hokage-sama's choice."

As they appeared, many of the Jonin present couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Hiruzen saw that Takemi and Kakashi had arrived. He immediately stood up and announced, "Since the examinees have arrived, let's prepare to begin!"
