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

[New Main Mission Acquired]

[Become the Strongest in the Ninja World]

Looking at this quest, Takemi fell silent for a moment.

There were so many monsters in the Ninja World. Not to mention Madara and Hashirama being revived, there was also a terrifying existence like Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

"Moreover, if you're unrivaled on earth, enemies can still come from above…"

Takemi had gotten used to these kinds of main missions.

After all, he had waited thirteen years for a Starter Pack.

Takemi and Kakashi continued their journey, and after a few days, they finally arrived in the Land of Rain and reached the front of Jiraiya's previous small hut.

"Why didn't we go directly to the Land of Grass? That would have been easier."

After placing flowers in front of the door and observing a minute of silence, Takemi asked curiously.

"We'll go on the way back."

Kakashi pulled down his straw hat and then said with a smile, "We can take our time then, but for now, it's better to deal with the current situation, as we don't know what might happen on this trip."

"Are you worried about encountering enemies?"

Takemi raised an eyebrow, and Kakashi simply nodded.

"That's right, because nothing good ever happens whenever we go out."

"Who knows what we'll encounter, so it's better to resolve things in the Ninja World first before anything else."

Takemi said, "Hmm, you're right, but we've been quite lucky. Every time has been relatively smooth."

Kakashi rolled his eyes, then patted Takemi's shoulder.

"If you call encountering a bunch of rogue Ninja every time 'smooth,' then yes, it's been quite smooth."

"Let's go, it's time to head to the Amegakure ."

"Okay."

Meanwhile, inside Amegakure, Black Zetsu looked at White Zetsu, who had transformed into Hanzo, and nodded.

"Good, it looks like there are no problems."

"Of course, but is this really okay?" This White Zetsu asked curiously. He wasn't like 'Tobi' and was much weaker in all aspects.

"It's fine, it's enough. You won't have to say much then." Black Zetsu spoke calmly. He had made thorough preparations.

"Some things can be said through other people, and there's no need to get too close."

Black Zetsu had no intention of letting Takemi and the others in. He was also particularly worried if Takemi would cause trouble.

Although an Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki had appeared in the Ninja World, he would not forget that boy, Takemi.

He even once suspected if this boy came from the moon.

It was just that Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki had consumed too much of his energy, and he didn't have time to think much about that brat's problem.

"Anyway, after the Chunin Exams a year from now, we should pretty much know what's going on with that kid."

Black Zetsu muttered to himself, then ignored Hanzo in front of him and asked the half-bodied White Zetsu beside him.

"Are Nagato and Obito ready?"

"They are already waiting at the border, hehe." The half-bodied White Zetsu replied with a giggle.

It added, "And we've been monitoring their path and reporting it to Obito and the others in real-time."

"That's good."

Black Zetsu nodded. Even if he wasn't optimistic about this operation, he simply accepted it.

Nagato wanted to go all out, and it was a good opportunity for him to see Nagato's specific condition, which was good for both of them.

"I wonder how much of these eyes' power Nagato can unleash."

Black Zetsu pondered secretly, when suddenly the White Zetsu, who had transformed into Hanzo, spoke, "Black, they've arrived."

"Then get ready, let's begin."

In the Land of Grass, Pain and Obito stood together, while Raiga stood far away with a displeased expression.

"How are things over there?"

He was defeated by Obito and thus joined, but he himself was unwilling. However, there was nothing to say after losing.

The most crucial thing was that Kisame was also here, so he was too lazy to say anything more.

"They are already moving towards the Land of Grass. Don't worry, White Zetsu are watching them all the way." Obito replied calmly.

Then he looked at Pain seriously and said, "Actually, you shouldn't have given him that information. It will only bring us trouble, and we might not even encounter them."

"It doesn't matter. I'm more curious about that Zetsu now, whether he has been exposed."

Nagato was as cold as ever. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't even want to perform missions with Obito.

Moreover, he didn't need Obito to understand. As a god, and with all his clones deployed, he preferred to face the enemy head-on.

"Hmph, don't worry, there seems to be no problem so far." Obito snorted.

White Zetsu's transformation was undetectable by ordinary people. And with Black Zetsu's cooperation, it was almost impossible to be exposed.

At least for now, Kakashi and the others have delivered the invitation and received the information given by 'Hanzo'.

Now they have left the Land of Rain at full speed and are heading towards the Land of Grass. In Obito's opinion, it was actually to avoid being caught.

However, he was still displeased with Nagato's decision, but he was too lazy to say anything more.

"There's a situation."

Just as Obito was feeling displeased, a White Zetsu suddenly emerged from the ground, which immediately caught the attention of the few people.

"What's going on? Is there any information? Hurry up, I am already annoyed." Raiga walked over and spoke, somewhat displeased.

Obito also asked, "Where are they now? Are they almost here?"

"They used Flying Thunder God to transfer away." White Zetsu blinked and spoke directly, which immediately made the few people frown.

Could it be that they were discovered?

"But it's not too far from here." Fortunately, White Zetsu spoke again.

"He is now in a forest near Kusagakure, and I don't know what he's doing."

"Forest near Kusagakure?" Obito frowned. He had been there before, and he felt that place was somewhat familiar.

"Hmm, yeah."

White Zetsu nodded, thought for a moment, and continued to speak, "And they went directly there. It seems there's a Flying Thunder God Mark there."

"Directly there, Flying Thunder God Mark?"

The more Obito thought about it, the more something felt wrong. A strange sense of déjà vu began to surface in his mind.

White Zetsu spoke again at this moment, "Speaking of which, that place is not far from Kannabi Bridge."

"?!"

Hearing this, Obito immediately knew where that cursed place was.

Wasn't that his former 'burial place'?

Kakashi, that bastard, actually ran there?

What was he trying to do, mock him?

"Good, not bad, it's a suitable place for a showdown!"

Obito muttered to himself, but at this moment, he felt his fists clench.

— — —

"This place isn't far from Kusagakure."

In a place piled with rubble, Kakashi stood there silently.

Takemi did not disturb him, but looked into the distance, thinking about something.

"Perhaps, after this is over, I can go and see. If I remember correctly…"

"Karin seems to still be there."
