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

The next instant, Takemi's figure flashed fiercely, the white fang short sword instantly unsheathed, and the purple lightning permeated the air.

"Ow!"

Along with a beast-like scream, a large expanse of scarlet blood appeared in the sky. This blood was like raindrops, continuously dripping down and scattering all over the ground.

"Invisible monster, do you really think I can't sense you? By the way, let me ask you something."

Takemi landed steadily.

He looked at the six Paths of Pain and spoke calmly, "When we went to the Land of Rain, Jiraiya-sama asked us to offer flowers to Yahiko. It's clear that he cares about certain people, so I'm very curious about one thing..."

Before the words fell, Takemi had already flashed out, the purple lightning seemingly flashing in the sky.

And his voice had already echoed in the ears of the six Paths of Pain, and even Nagato, who was controlling Pain from afar.

"If you all die, do you think Jiraiya will mourn for you?"

"What's going on? Why do I feel so uneasy today?"

In Kusagakure, Karin felt as if something was about to happen, but she herself didn't know exactly what it was.

But that feeling was particularly clear and made her particularly worried.

"Hey, Karin, come here!"

Just as she was thinking, a Kusa Ninja suddenly shouted loudly.

"It's time for blood drawing, hurry up!"

"Oh..."

Karin nodded. She had experienced this countless times.

Her blood had a miraculous effect, allowing injured people to recover, even those on the verge of death.

This also led to her blood being constantly studied, especially since her mother was already dead, these people would even less let her go.

Boom—

However, at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled slightly, which made the surrounding Kusa Ninja a little confused.

"An earthquake? That's strange. Never mind, hey, hurry up!"

...

However, Karin didn't move this time. She had a clearer feeling.

This was definitely not an earthquake. Someone was fighting, and this was the aftermath of the battle.

And, the people fighting...

Seemed to be getting closer!

"Watch out!"

Karin subconsciously shouted loudly and immediately squatted down.

"Huh?"

However, the others didn't understand what was going on at all.

Boom—

The next moment, a roar suddenly erupted.

A huge figure like a monster suddenly appeared as if out of thin air, heavily smashing onto Kusagakure's wall.

Almost instantly, the entire wall collapsed, and that monster seemed to have suffered a huge impact and continued to crash inwards.

"What... what is going on?"

The other Ninjas of Kusagakure were full of shock, only Karin raised her head and looked into the distance.

In her perception, she seemed to feel two huge Chakras clashing.

And one of these Chakras was full of natural harmony, and also as dazzling as the sun.

"What is this?"

"Nagato, what's wrong? Your face doesn't look too good?"

In the dense forest of the Land of Grass, Konan had been observing Nagato. When she noticed his expression change, she immediately asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing."

Nagato shook his head, some words he couldn't bring himself to say.

Whether it was Jiraiya entrusting Takemi to deliver flowers to Yahiko, or Takemi's remark, 'Will Jiraiya mourn for you?'

Both deeply stimulated his heart!

Especially since Takemi had already probed too much of his information just from the previous battle.

He even analyzed his true situation, which made Nagato's heart turn cold.

"I must find a way to deal with you!" Nagato roared inwardly.

In the distance, Animal Path pressed his hands to the ground.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

Instantly, three plumes of white smoke surged out simultaneously, followed by three massive figures that burst forth from the smoke.

One was a raven that flew into the air, screeching. Another was a roaring, three-headed Hellhound. And the last was a giant bull that caused the ground to collapse just by standing on it.

"Animal Path, huh."

Looking at the massive summoning beasts, Takemi raised his brows.

He had to admit these things were indeed a bit troublesome, as he didn't have any summoning beasts to counter them.

But...

Buzz—

Purple Lightning surged around Takemi's entire body, and in an instant, he had already rushed out.

In Sage Mode, Jiraiya and Naruto could both handle the Six Paths of Pain, let alone him.

"Moo—"

The giant bull let out a bellow and charged towards Takemi, its running causing the ground to continuously shake.

Takemi, however, seized the opportunity, lightly leaped up, and at the same time, swept his short sword, imbued with brilliant Lightning, across.

Whoosh—

In an instant, the giant bull's head was severed by him.

He stepped on the giant bull's head to propel himself upwards, leaping forcefully before it turned into smoke. At the same time, he held one hand vertically.

Sage Art: Yin Release: Water Severing Wave!

Yin Release and Yang Release, Takemi had long been able to utilize them and mix them into his techniques.

Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki mostly used materialized 'black rods' or 'black blades,' but now, he naturally used techniques to manifest them.

Clang—

The surging water pillar instantly struck the giant bird's extremely sharp beak, emitting a harsh metallic clanging sound.

"Ow!"

Under the immense impact, the giant bird couldn't help but let out a wail, and in the next instant, its beak was forcibly broken off by him.

The beak and the giant bird separated, both crashing heavily to the ground, while Takemi took the opportunity to step on the giant bird's wing and once again moved forward.

The giant bird crashing to the ground caused a tremor, with smoke billowing and stones flying.

However, amidst the swirling smoke, the three-headed Hellhound leaped up, its fleshy wings flapping as it fiercely attacked Takemi.

Sage Art: Yin Release: False Darkness.

His left hand was once again held vertically, and the surging, violent Purple Lightning instantly transformed into sharp lightning spears. Guided by Chakra, they surged forth.

The three-headed Hellhound was torn apart almost in mid-air, unable to split before it directly crashed to the ground, pinning down the giant bull and giant bird below.

Boom—

The three summoning beasts collided, instantly causing the earth to shake.

And at this moment, Takemi arrived before the Six Paths of Pain, his blade already facing Pain and Raiga.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Raiga's eyes widened. Three giant beasts were just casually dealt with like that?

And he had never seen such Lightning Release and Water Release.

"Hmph!"

Pain seemed to be stunned by how quickly Takemi broke through, but he quickly became serious, and all the Pains stood ready.
