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

The moment Takemi landed, he immediately controlled Animal Path to attack again.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

Boom—

Suddenly, a stone panda blocked their path, and under his control, the Hellhound instantly split and rushed forward.

"Very good coordination, but—"

Takemi chuckled lightly, then fiercely swung his short sword, which glowed with Purple Lightning. In an instant, the distant stone panda's body began to crumble.

But at this moment, the Hellhounds had already roared and rushed behind him, yet his left hand instantly formed a hand seal.

"You seem to have forgotten what Jutsu I specialize in?"

Buzz—

Behind him, in the space, a series of marks, like inscriptions, suddenly appeared.

As the marks spread, in the next instant, these giant beasts crashed into them.

In an instant, several Hellhounds, accompanied by gusts of wind, vanished without a trace.

When they reappeared, two of them were behind Pain, and one had already disappeared.

"This is… a barrier?"

The Six Paths of Pain's expressions changed. They suddenly scattered, and Raiga cursed under his breath, his figure flashing away.

And at this moment, Takemi unleashed countless kunai. The flying kunai were guided by Chakra in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, they had already split into countless blades, covering all areas like raindrops.

Shinra Tensei!

Deva Path reacted extremely quickly. He swiftly raised his hand, and a powerful repulsive force spread, repelling a large number of kunai in the sky.

But his expression suddenly changed, because Takemi had already arrived behind them, which made him realize something.

"Damn it, the kunai were just a trick. The summoning beasts must have been marked. When?"

Takemi's only close-range attack was on the bull. For the others, he either relied on techniques or let the summoning beasts block each other.

"Was it that barrier-like thing just now that placed the marks?"

But he had no time to think further. Through the shared vision of the Rinnegan, he had already seen Takemi flash and arrive in front of Animal Path.

"You summoned all the summoning beasts, right?"

Without needing to say more, the short sword in his hand instantly unsheathed.

Facing the fierce incoming strike, Animal Path's body stiffened slightly, but in an instant, he seemed to have seen the trajectory of Takemi's blade.

His entire body began to shift, as if all angles had been considered, leaving room for evasion.

However—

Buzz—

A sudden chill emerged from the ground, and ice wrapped around Animal Path, instantly freezing his body completely, making him unable to move.

"Ice Release?"

The other Pains looked on in disbelief, and Takemi's blade instantly fell.

Whoosh—

Animal Path's head was severed, blood splattering everywhere. And on the broken corpse, Takemi swiftly wiped his palm.

Almost in front of all the Pains, he left a clear Flying Thunder God Mark on Animal Path's body.

With Animal Path's demise, all the summoning beasts also vanished without a trace. Only then did he look at the other Pains.

"As expected, they are all zombie puppets. It seems their vision is interconnected."

"And Yahiko's body was already shattered by me before. It seems you can repair it, but…"

"Now, do you dare to repair this guy's body?"

These words silenced all the Pains, that Flying Thunder God Mark was like a mockery to them.

"Perhaps I don't know your full capabilities, but a friendly reminder."

Takemi flicked his blade, his gaze locked onto the several individuals.

"Concentrated power can pierce through stubborn rock, but scattered power is not worth mentioning."

The power within Takemi's body began to grow stronger, that powerful aura made even Raiga feel suffocated.

He had no chance to attack at all. He couldn't quite understand how this kid, who looked only fourteen or fifteen, could be like a monster?

"This guy…"

Nagato's face wasn't looking good now either. In the blink of an eye, Takemi had broken through, and this situation made him increasingly uneasy.

However, after glancing at Konan beside him, he took a deep breath, having already made a decision in his heart.

"Even if I have to use that move, I must protect Konan."

While he was still pondering, Takemi instantly moved.

In the distant Kusagakure , all the Kusa Ninja stared blankly at the giant beast that had suddenly burst through the wall.

"Cough, cough, cough…"

"What on earth is going on?"

They had no idea how this thing appeared, but it had only crashed once, and the city wall had already collapsed.

Those Ninja who remained on the wall were even unluckier. After taking that hit, they probably had no chance of survival.

The Ninja of Kusagakure immediately became alert. Such a situation was clearly unusual, and they had to be extremely careful.

Boom—

However, at this moment, the giant beast that had smashed their city wall suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and vanished without a trace, which immediately made them realize something.

"A summoning beast?"

"You're kidding, right? That big?"

"Is someone fighting? Damn it, what level of combat is this?"

The Ninja around them were clamoring, clearly frightened by the current situation, and Kusagakure's Ninja leader also walked out at this moment.

"Karin, what exactly is going on?" He coldly approached Karin and asked sternly.

As the village head and Ninja leader of Kusagakure, he knew some of Karin's abilities.

This girl's blood not only possessed powerful healing abilities, but she was also an existence with super strong sensory perception.

"Someone is fighting…"

Karin seemed to feel increasingly terrified. The continuously overflowing Chakra had already permeated to her side.

However, this answer clearly displeased the Kusagakure Ninja leader.

"Be more specific. What exactly have you found?"

"Seven people are fighting. One of them has already killed one person and is currently chasing the others. They are heading this way."

"Heading this way?"

His expression changed. But before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a violent Chakra tremor.

And—

Boom—

Suddenly, not far from the village, a violent, earth-shattering roar was heard.

A massive tremor, accompanied by a sky full of dust, swept in all directions.

All the Kusagakure Ninja's expressions changed drastically, because accompanying this earth-shattering tremor, an invisible shockwave carrying countless fragments and flying stones was already blasting towards them.

"Run!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Damn it, what on earth is going on?"

"Who on earth are these people?"

Amidst screams and shouts, these Ninjas scattered, fleeing in all directions.

However, no matter how fast they ran, there would still be some unlucky ones who were directly hit by the shockwave, or struck by various fragments and flying stones, dying inexplicably.

"Everyone leave and await orders!"

The Ninja leader roared. He was in an extremely bad mood now. He also didn't know what was going on.

He obviously didn't feel comfortable being hit like this for no reason, but for now, he could only endure it. If he had the chance, he would definitely act.

"Yes."

Karin nodded and immediately ran outside, but she couldn't help but glance at the approaching combatants.

She hadn't told the Ninja leader that, in her perception, several people had exactly the same Chakra.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Also, what's with that Chakra that's as warm as the sun…"
