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

"Despicable!"

Jiraiya immediately snapped back to reality, leaping backward and instantly forming hand seals.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

Under the furious flame attack, the countless long snakes were instantly incinerated into ashes.

But Orochimaru's figure was also obscured by the flames, only his voice could be heard now.

"Alright, if you want to die, then go ahead. I'm too lazy to keep arguing with an idiot like you. Don't worry, I'll be watching when you die."

"Bastard, don't leave!" Jiraiya shouted in frustration, but Orochimaru's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"You should go check on that kid, he's fighting the Fourth Raikage, you know."

"Takemi…"

Jiraiya stopped when he heard these words. The raging flames continued to burn, and he could only sigh in the end.

"Damn it!"

Manda, who was originally fighting Gamabunta, cursed after seeing Orochimaru escape, and then immediately dispelled the Summoning.

"Tch, that slimy snake, I'll turn you into a leather bag sooner or later." Gamabunta cursed upon seeing this, then looked at Jiraiya.

"Since that's the case, I'll be leaving too."

"Alright." Jiraiya nodded.

With Orochimaru gone, his battle here was over, and he also needed to see how things were going on the other side.

Leaping up, he instantly headed towards the battleground. He was actually puzzled as to why Takemi and the Fourth Raikage were fighting.

Tsunade likely wouldn't move, but what about Kakashi?

"Forget it, Takemi is probably not much worse than Minato. If Minato could handle him, then Takemi should be fine too." Jiraiya thought to himself, but still involuntarily sped up.

However, the moment he arrived, his eyes widened, and a thought popped into his mind.

"Oh no, he's not dead, is he?"

It wasn't just Jiraiya who had this thought, but also Kakashi, and even Tsunade, whose mind was filled with overlapping figures.

"This is…"

Tsunade watched everything in the distance in disbelief. She had personally seen Takemi instantly disappear the moment he was struck.

The next instant, he appeared behind the Fourth Raikage.

"Is that the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Tsunade murmured softly, while in the battlefield, the Fourth Raikage's eyes were wide open.

Takemi's voice came from behind him, at that moment, he felt a fatal danger.

"This is… Flying Thunder God Technique?"

His reaction wasn't slow. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a jutsu.

Years ago, he and Killer Bee had faced that yellow-haired man, and that was the time when even their combined efforts couldn't do anything against him.

"This kid actually knows this jutsu?" The Fourth Raikage's mind raced. He tried hard to twist his body.

He tried his best to avoid vital points, and at the same time, his Chakra quickly erupted.

He couldn't dodge, he could only defend as much as possible, and now he seemed to know why Takemi hadn't used Flying Thunder God before.

"He was waiting for this moment?"

Unfortunately, at this moment, Takemi's white fang short sword, imbued with Purple Electricity, had already thrust out.

He didn't know 'Hell Stab,' but this jutsu relied on unparalleled power and super strong burst to accomplish it.

In some sense, this jutsu was indeed quite similar to Chidori. Takemi could perfectly execute it by combining Purple Electricity with his white fang short sword.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. Some things, it's better to feel the pain sooner than later…"

Whiz—

The white fang short sword instantly thrust out, heavily piercing the Fourth Raikage's back.

The terrifying penetrating power, combined with the frenzied Purple Electricity, violently stirred the blue lightning covering the Fourth Raikage's body.

These blue lightning bolts still tried to struggle, but being a hasty burst, they simply couldn't withstand Takemi's attack and were almost instantly torn apart.

But at this moment, Takemi's blade suddenly paused.

As if cooperating with the Fourth Raikage's body twisting, his blade missed the vital point but slashed across the Fourth Raikage's left arm.

In an instant, blood splattered, and the Fourth Raikage heavily fell to the ground.

The morning sun illuminated the land.

The once bustling Sugi Village lay in ruins under the sunlight.

The prosperous town had been completely destroyed, with raging fires and broken walls everywhere, looking like a living hell.

Fortunately, the residents and tourists who were there were mostly unharmed. However, their gazes were blank as they looked at the town before them.

"It's over."

In the forest next to the town, Jiraiya looked at the distant town with a bitter expression, then lowered his head to look at the unconscious Fourth Raikage with a severed arm. He felt despair.

"It's really bad."

Kakashi also nodded numbly at this moment, while Tsunade couldn't hold back anymore.

"You guys are a bunch of bastards! You destroyed a perfectly good town, and you messed up the Fourth Raikage like this. You might as well have killed him!"

"If we killed him, a Great Ninja War would erupt." Kakashi rubbed his white hair helplessly, and Takemi also nodded.

"That's right, with so many people watching, killing him would definitely start a Great Ninja War. But since it's already like this, why don't we…"

He made a throat-slitting gesture, which stunned Tsunade.

No, you actually want to do it?

"Don't joke around, Takemi."

Fortunately, Kakashi understood Takemi.

He spoke with some helplessness, "Let's think about what to do next first."

"That's right."

Jiraiya also walked over dejectedly at this moment. He really couldn't bear to look at the town behind them anymore.

"How should we deal with this Fourth Raikage? He's in such a state."

This question was very important, he wouldn't dare to bring the Fourth Raikage back.

Admittedly, bringing him back would increase Konoha's prestige and severely damage Kumogakure's morale.

But the key was that a Kage was the highest symbol of a village. Capturing him would only cause more trouble.

Moreover, Takemi cut off the Fourth Raikage's hand…

They couldn't possibly say they were inviting the Fourth Raikage as a guest, could they?

"What a hassle."

Although Tsunade was very annoyed right now, she couldn't help but look at Takemi.

"However, this kid is really amazing."

The battle between Takemi and the Fourth Raikage was deeply etched in her mind.

Especially since this he white hair, was skilled in swordsmanship, and could use Flying Thunder God.

This really made it hard for her not to think of her grand-uncle!

Konoha, another genius has emerged…

"In any case, I'll treat him first."

Shaking her head, Tsunade stopped thinking further. Although she was full of curiosity about Takemi, there were more important matters at hand.

"Jiraiya, I already know why you came to find me this time. Is Orochimaru also part of that Akatsuki Organization?"

"Yes, he is."

Jiraiya glanced at Kakashi, and after seeing Kakashi nod, he spoke directly.

"I've received some information from Orochimaru. This situation is quite serious."

"How so?"

"The Akatsuki Organization is more terrifying than imagined, and even Hanzo and Danzo lost to them."

"Hanzo? Danzo?"

Tsunade's expression turned serious, and Takemi, who was beside her, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What's going on? What did Orochimaru say?

As Jiraiya continued to relay Orochimaru's words, his eyes widened.

Orochimaru truly didn't speak a single lie, but when all these strange pieces of information were put together, not much truth remained.

'But he also spoke about the Akatsuki Organization's situation and some of Danzo's circumstances. Hiss, he's really played Danzo!'

Takemi, of course, remembered the connection between Danzo and Orochimaru. This move was not just any ordinary ruthless one.

Have these two become enemies?

"Danzo, Hanzo…"

Tsunade frowned. She pondered for a while before speaking, "It seems this matter is indeed troublesome. This Akatsuki is probably more dangerous than we imagined."
