You definitely did! I even treated you to ramen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How come I remember that ever since I became a Ninja, I haven't let you treat me much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Konoha's main street, Naruto's face was filled with agitation, clearly angered by Takemi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke also looked helpless; he was currently troubled about whether he could graduate successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't Naruto. He knew very well how terrifying someone like Takemi, who had just graduated from the Ninja Academy and was about to become a Jonin, truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he felt very unwilling, he didn't harbor any jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they had become familiar with each other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as he thought about his terrible personality, if he really were to be the Jonin evaluating his graduation, he would panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really got stuck, how would he get revenge on Itachi?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Takemi, are you really going to be our examiner?\" Sasuke asked cautiously, while Naruto was still agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, I clearly treated you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You treated me my ass, I was the one who paid, alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi looked at Naruto with displeasure, then turned to Sasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, you should ask Hokage-sama about this. How would I know who will be assigned to me, but I'm very curious about one thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh-what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you two so lacking in confidence that you're really no good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, relax, be confident. Even if you're under me, it's the same. The Genin graduation exam is very simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With you around, can it be simple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke didn't dare to speak, thinking of Takemi's reputation at the Ninja Academy and his legendary experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially his record of sending his teammates to the hospital and successfully graduating himself, how could such a person be associated with simplicity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you guys should go beg Hokage-sama about this.\" Takemi raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Naruto knows the method, it's the Jutsu I told you about last time, to have Hokage-sama appraise it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought about it last time but never had the chance to put it into practice. Now that it was brought up again, he was naturally a bit excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, this Jutsu is even more effective against stronger enemies.\" Takemi's smile grew wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at Pervy Sage, he didn't have any resistance either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like that's right! Yosh, it's decided!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he finally made a decision, but Sasuke looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you two talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, nothing, hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto grinned mischievously, then immediately changed the subject, \"Hey, Takemi, you're about to become a Jonin, so what's your dream now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke glared at Naruto, but Takemi seemed to be stumped by the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A dream, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dream seemed a bit distant, yet also very close. But this question wasn't much to him, after all, his goal was his dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was to properly develop his bloodline and live the life he wanted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't think there was any conflict between the two, and even if there was, he could just grab it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a growing Ōtsutsuki, if he didn't even dare to say 'I want it all,' then what was the point of struggling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dream is very simple, to continuously get stronger, and then live the life I want.\" Takemi put his hands behind his head and spoke leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps I can even open a shop, let's call it 'Odd Jobs Shop,' since I have a sword and white hair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's an Odd Jobs Shop, and what does it have to do with a sword and white hair?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto and Sasuke were confused, unable to understand the meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi ignored them and continued, \"Just do a little business to earn some money, then marry a beautiful wife, so I won't have to introduce myself as 'thirty-three and still unmarried' anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It would be best to find a four-eyed guy to help me watch the shop, especially one who can work for free, but I remember there's a four-eyed guy who doesn't seem very reliable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I guess that's it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke's eyes grew more bewildered. He understood every word Takemi said, but when put together, he seemed to not quite grasp it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto scratched his ear. He also felt that this conversation was off, and he even caught a key point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Is your goal that low? Aren't you supposed to be that…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto felt embarrassed to say it. He still remembered Takemi seemingly saying something like 'the days of the throne being vacant will end, from now on, it will be me…'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't finish his sentence, but the general meaning seemed to be 'aiming for Hokage.' How did it change now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was Takemi who looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing, nothing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto immediately denied it, while chuckling like a fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I support your dream, absolutely support it! From now on, I'll definitely buy things from your shop every day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke clutched his forehead, he couldn't keep up with Naruto's idiotic thought process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it seemed Naruto wasn't going to say what he was planning, so he simply looked at Takemi and said, \"Um, it's still early, can you continue training us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him train us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto almost had a stress reaction again; last time, running around the entire village almost killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto exclaimed, \"Are you kidding me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi said, \"Training? That's enough. We should balance work and rest. How about we have dinner tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi stroked his chin. He thought a small dinner gathering would be nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was two years older than Naruto and his friends, they weren't that far apart in age, and thanks to Naruto, their relationship was quite good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when it was his birthday, he himself had forgotten, but they remembered to send gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always remembered that, so getting together wasn't a bad thing. They were all friends, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto gasped, instinctively touching his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could speak, Sasuke interjected, \"No problem, but you also said 'balance work and rest,' so do we still have some time now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat, you really are…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi stroked his chin, then his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, \"Forget the training, but I can teach you a very interesting jutsu. From now on, no matter who you're facing, as long as you use your head, you can protect yourself and create opportunities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jutsu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke and Naruto's eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>",1106,"2026-06-10T06:42:00.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","abac0e23519556b98a5dc76473950495194b18b53fc934b813d30809ce41fbbc","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-170","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-168",522,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-cover.jpg"]
