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

But at this moment, Takemi had quietly appeared by his side, his short blade piercing towards his heart with purple Lightning Release.

However, just as his blade was about to strike, the Fourth Raikage suddenly vanished, and his voice suddenly rang out above Takemi.

"In the Ninja World, the only one faster than me was Minato! And he's already dead!"

Lightning Release: Liger Bomb!

His foot slammed down heavily on Takemi, and the violent Lightning Chakra was chilling.

Boom—

Amidst the violent roar, a several-meter deep crater instantly appeared in the ground, but the Fourth Raikage's expression didn't change in the slightest.

"An Earth Clone, huh? That's really fast."

"Indeed, not slow."

As if knowing what the Fourth Raikage was thinking, Takemi casually replied.

At the same time, his blade once again struck, aimed at the Raikage's head.

The Fourth Raikage quickly crouched down, while an even more terrifying Chakra erupted from his body. He unleashed another punch, but this time Takemi met it directly.

Boom... Boom... Boom—

In an instant, in the dim night, the two once again constantly collided at a speed indiscernible to the naked eye.

They were like phantoms. As they continuously collided, piercing sonic booms, air currents, and shockwaves generated by their power continuously spilled outwards.

The houses, courtyard walls, and everything along the way were almost instantly destroyed. In just the blink of an eye, this entire street was ruined.

And the battle between these two continued, with such destruction even spreading to other areas.

"This!?"

Tsunade, who had been deep in thought after hearing Kakashi's explanation, was now somewhat dazed, and Shizune was completely dumbfounded.

Even Kakashi's expression was somewhat grim now, as he found that the speed of these two was simply unbelievably fast.

"Damn it, although I can see clearly, Kamui can't directly lock on."

After he had truly awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan, he knew how to use the Jutsu of this eye.

But the problem was that his use of Kamui wasn't very proficient, and locking onto an enemy was extremely difficult.

The battle between Takemi and the Fourth Raikage was somewhat beyond expectation, their speed and the sharpness of their techniques truly dazzled him.

Kakashi was secretly anxious, but Takemi, who was continuously clashing with the Fourth Raikage, was in a very good mood right now.

The Fourth Raikage was strong, there was no doubt about that. Even with one arm severed, the Fourth Raikage could still display terrifying combat power.

For most Ninja, the loss of an arm was fatal.

For example, Jiraiya, in his battle with Pain, was completely different before and after the loss of his arm.

Before that, although he was somewhat battered, the fight was basically even. But after losing his arm, everything went downhill, and he fell into a disadvantage.

But the Fourth Raikage was incredibly absurd. Even without his right arm, he could still unleash incredible bursts of power.

"And with Ōnoki's assistance, he even shattered Madara's Susanoo."

Even if Madara was just playing around at the time, even so, how many in the entire Ninja World could have done that?

"Fighting against such a guy is truly a great help to me, and I've basically figured out Lightning Release Chakra Mode!"

From the beginning of the battle, he had been consciously sensing the power on the Fourth Raikage's body.

"It's a pity he doesn't have Storm Release."

Storm Release was also something Takemi had always wanted to acquire, but he didn't have much of a way to do so.

If he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't know it, but this was enough.

"Damn kid!"

Takemi was enjoying himself, but the Fourth Raikage's expression was not good.

"He is as slippery as an eel, and is he learning Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"

"This kid is using a strange self-enhancement Jutsu that seems to boost his speed and strength."

"As a result, he can barely keep up with me, while also seemingly predicting my attacks, always using Transformation and Substitution Jutsu to evade."

"Aside from that, there is that Purple Lightning!"

"But that Purple Lightning has truly high defensive properties, and it can continuously reconfigure itself."

"And this damned Purple Lightning is slowly developing a unique aura on this kid's body, no longer just haphazardly covering him!"

"Did he learn it by fighting me?"

The Fourth Raikage couldn't accept this point, and he also didn't know what the Anbu were doing. There was no intelligence whatsoever about such a genius appearing in Konoha.

"Kid, you're very good."

The Fourth Raikage couldn't figure it out, but he knew he had to go for the kill now.

He suddenly stopped, gazing at Takemi not far away.

"But unfortunately, your destiny ends here."

"Oh?"

Takemi raised an eyebrow in confusion, then asked with a chuckle, "Are you that confident?"

"Before, I was still considering Tsunade's sake. I needed her to help me save someone, but now it seems you are more valuable."

The Lightning Release around the Fourth Raikage intensified, and his hair stood on end at this moment.

"To be able to learn Lightning Release Chakra Mode in battle and apply it, such talent is truly astounding, so..."

"Speaking of which, I've heard some things."

Takemi's expression became somewhat strange.

He sized up the Fourth Raikage, then spoke, "You Kumogakure people take whatever you fancy, be it secret Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai. Were your village's founders a bunch of bandits, which is why such a culture has been passed down?"

"Kid, you're dead!"

The Fourth Raikage roared, and the Chakra within him violently surged.

The already fractured ground developed even more cracks at this moment!

"Also, I heard you have a Jutsu called Lariat, don't you?"

Takemi seemed to completely disregard the enraged Fourth Raikage, and leisurely asked.

"How come I haven't seen you use it? Don't tell me you can't?"

"You won't get the chance to see it!"

However, just as Takemi spoke, the Fourth Raikage had already appeared behind him.

He suddenly raised his arm, delivering a powerful hand chop towards Takemi's body, as if to instantly shatter the kid in front of him!

"Is that so? Then how about you evaluate mine?"

But just as his hand chop fell, Takemi suddenly vanished from in front of him, and the voice came from behind him.

"Damn it, that guy intends to kill."

In the distance, Kakashi and Tsunade sensed the change in the Fourth Raikage's aura and immediately knew something was wrong.

Tsunade frowned, wanting to move closer immediately.

However, the next moment she froze in place. She stared wide-eyed at the front in disbelief, even seeming somewhat dazed.

A figure seemed to appear in her mind, and that figure...

was her granduncle!
