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

And although the Seven-Tails ranks third in terms of tail count, it seems that besides being able to fly, its attack methods are somewhat similar to Deidara's, and its defense is good, but it has no other special characteristics?

Takemi couldn't quite figure it out, but he knew the Seven-Tails was in Takigakure.

"If I can use this opportunity…"

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but pound.

The last time, the Three-Tails' Chakra had given him a significant boost, especially in his eyes.

He had always been thinking about how to obtain more Tailed Beast Chakra, but he remained very calm.

For example, the empty space in the Fire Temple, it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but he was worried that the Tailed Beast Chakra given by the system might be different from what he captured himself.

"The Three-Tails' Chakra obtained from the system did not show any overly obvious aura, and everything was smooth after integrating into the body, but…"

The Nine-Tails is powerful, and Konoha's monitoring and sensing of its Chakra are exceptionally strict.

No one wanted the 'Nine-Tails' Night' to repeat itself, so he had to be extra cautious, and this time...

"If I truly get a chance to verify it, then it will be convenient in the future!"

Takemi made up his mind, he had to try no matter what!

Even if it didn't work this time, he would come back next time.

"Land of Waterfalls, right? I just remembered something." Takemi pretended to stroke his chin, speaking in a low voice.

"Earlier, when Kakashi-sensei, Guy-sensei and I were on a mission, we encountered a rogue Ninja from Takigakure."

"The guy with many hearts?"

Jiraiya immediately recalled the intelligence Takemi had reported, but Tsunade frowned slightly.

"A rogue Ninja from Takigakure?"

"That's right, a very strong guy. I heard from Takemi that he had many hearts and was very difficult to kill."

As soon as the topic turned to serious matters, Kakashi, who had been reading a novel with his head down, also looked up.

He said, "Our intelligence on him is limited to what we learned in combat, there's no specific information about him. Hokage-sama also contacted Takigakure, but never received a reply."

"If that's the case, then let's go and see!"

Jiraiya made a decision. Athough they were currently in trouble, he was unwilling to miss out on intelligence concerning the Akatsuki.

Moreover, if they truly figured out the information about that Takigakure rogue Ninja, perhaps they could avoid another scolding.

"Alright, I have no objections anyway."

Tsunade nodded, and Shizune, who was holding Tonton and couldn't interject, also nodded quickly.

Whatever Tsunade decided, she just needed to follow, but Tsunade frowned again.

She said, "But what about the Fourth Raikage? That guy is so annoying."

"That's actually quite easy to handle." Before Jiraiya and Kakashi could speak, Takemi suddenly revealed a smile.

"We find a crowded place and release him, then we turn around and leave, letting him go by himself, and then…"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of tying his hands together and then pulling them outward with force, under Kakashi's astonished gaze.

Then, he looked at Tsunade with 'clear' big eyes.

"This way, the trouble is gone. Anyway, I left a Flying Thunder God Mark on him, so I'm not afraid of not finding him."

"And I will clear the mark, plus they have already left, giving him no evidence to dispute."

"At the same time, this can also severely dampen Kumogakure's morale—killing two birds with one stone!"

"…"

Tsunade gasped, turning to look at Jiraiya and Kakashi beside her.

She found that both of them also had blank expressions, but they didn't seem as intense as hers.

For a moment, her head was buzzing. Wasn't this the first time this had happened?

She said, "Jiraiya, is this how you taught him?"

Jiraiya shifted the blame, "No, no, no! This is Kakashi's student, it's Kakashi's!"

Kakashi hurriedly explained, "is a problem with the Ninja Academy's education. I'm already trying hard to correct him!"

Watching Jiraiya and Kakashi quickly explain, Tsunade sighed.

What kind of terrible idea did this brat come up with?

However, this level of cunning truly made her recall her grand-uncle again.

That Flying Thunder God move was a sudden counter-kill when the Fourth Raikage felt he had a sure win and was about to enjoy the fruits of victory.

And now, the level of cunning was maxed out, which truly made it hard for her not to recall Tobirama.

"It seems Konoha's medical system isn't the only one with problems, the education system is too, otherwise how could such a guy be raised?"

"…"

Takemi looked at Tsunade speechlessly, but at this moment, his system flashed.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

At the border of Sugi Village, the Akatsuki members had already gathered.

Itachi and Kisame were brought directly by Obito, while Nagato remained hidden in the distance, looked after by Konan, with a Pain participating in this operation.

Upon reaching Sugi Village, they did not act immediately. They needed to ascertain the specific location of Takemi and his group and make some necessary arrangements.

And just as they were getting impatient, a Black Zetsu finally broke through.

"I've found their location, they have now entered the Land of Waterfalls."

"Land of Waterfalls?" Obito frowned.

"Are they planning to return to Konoha via the Land of Waterfalls?"

"It seems so, and don't forget about Kakuzu." Black Zetsu nodded, speaking in a low voice.

"Although Kakuzu was defeated by him, they don't seem to have obtained more intelligence about Kakuzu, so…"

"Are they using this opportunity to investigate?" Itachi seemed to understand, but he also had a question.

"But aren't they still carrying the Fourth Raikage? Aren't they afraid of problems?"

"Hmph, they're not afraid with Flying Thunder God." Obito had suffered greatly from Flying Thunder God, he spoke coldly.

"As long as they plant a Flying Thunder God Mark on the Fourth Raikage, everything becomes simple. The Fourth Raikage simply cannot escape!"

"But this is good." Pain suddenly spoke from the side.

"Since we know they have a clear destination, we can directly set an ambush, which can reduce some unnecessary trouble."

"I see no problem." Obito nodded.

This arrangement was excellent. Takigakure had long been in decline, but because it was established early, it even managed to acquire a Tailed Beast.

Even if this Tailed Beast seemed very weak, checking it beforehand to see its condition wasn't a bad idea. Moreover, an ambush was very effective.

"If that's the case, then let's move."

Pain seemed unwilling to say more; he turned and walked away directly.

Itachi appeared somewhat silent, but still followed Pain's footsteps.

Only Kisame was grinning from the side, and after a while, he finally spoke, "Everyone's gone, should we go too?"

"Hmph." Obito snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Pain's attitude.

Kisame, on the other hand, was performing quite well.

"But speaking of which, Flying Thunder God is truly terrifying, and you know this technique very well, don't you?" Kisame suddenly asked in a low voice, much to his surprise.

"Last time in Kirigakure, that kid suddenly hit you, and then launched a surprise attack afterward."

"Forgive my presumptuousness, I want to know if you are…"

As he spoke, Kisame sized up Obito.

"…"

Even though he knew Kisame's concern was normal, this question and such a look truly annoyed Obito to the extreme. He realized that Kisame was no easy opponent either.
