I must thank you all for your actions back then…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, sir, long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya greeted him with a smile. He still remembered this person, he was the one who had hosted them back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time had passed, and this person seemed unchanged, and Takigakure still looked the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had undergone tremendous changes, for example, the Fourth Raikage from back then was gone…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Jiraiya felt that he had been corrupted by Takemi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He composed himself before smiling and saying, \"There's no need to mention the past. Sir, you also look as spirited as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged pleasantries, appearing exceptionally warm towards each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto and Sasuke remained silent, curiously observing their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had completed many missions over the past three years, but visiting another village was a first for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, the Pervy Sage actually has such a serious side?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto blinked, speaking with a surprised chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi chuckled softly. \"Don't underestimate the Pervy Sage. Although he usually seems unserious, he has always been very reliable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, Jiraiya-sama has always been like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi nodded in agreement, watching Jiraiya and the other party engaging in 'commercial flattery' before leading them towards the inside of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then continued, \"Let's go. We can talk more when we rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naruto nodded. In fact, he didn't need Kakashi to remind him. His parents in his mind had already done so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sasuke looked disdainful, he didn't say much until they entered the lounge specially provided for them, where he couldn't help but speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These guys seem very perfunctory, as if they have no intention of talking at all. Also, their defenses here are too shoddy, they don't even have a barrier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sasuke, not every village is like Konoha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi leaned against the wall, watching Jiraiya, who had already set up a soundproofing barrier, before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sealing Corps and Barrier Corps are very precious. Only Ninja Villages of great nations possess them. Takigakure is clearly still lacking quite a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, those large barriers are useless against powerful Ninja, or those with space-time Ninjutsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi shrugged, saying with a chuckle. Although his words were not pleasant to hear, Jiraiya nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, whether it was Obito, or your last raid on Kumogakure, both relied on space-time Ninjutsu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this seems good too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke didn't think highly of Takigakure, his mind was only on the Akatsuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't Second Hokage-sensei and Third Hokage-sama both say that it's better if they get attacked? I wonder if we'll encounter them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've really been led astray…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi sighed slightly, feeling that his squad was becoming increasingly extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Sakura hadn't changed. Although her strength was lacking, at least she hadn't gone bad. And Naruto, with his parents watching over him, seemed quite obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he couldn't imagine what his squad would become in Takemi's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi glanced outside, then suddenly spoke in a low voice, \"I feel like they've already arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi's words instantly made Kakashi and Jiraiya's expressions harden, while Sasuke and Naruto's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasuke was even a bit eager. He activated his Sharingan and looked into the distance, asking in a low voice, \"Senpai, have they really arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, don't forget I've fought them before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi nodded, leaning one hand on the windowsill and speaking leisurely while looking out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's impossible for me not to leave something on them. I didn't sense it before, but just now…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brought over by Kamui?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi instantly understood. He stood up and gazed into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya asked curiously, \"Nagato, he…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're here, and even…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi tilted his head, his expression a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who died are also here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the distance, as were Kakashi, Jiraiya, and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, a boundless black iron sand curtain suddenly unfolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a black blanket, instantly enveloping the entire Takigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure soared into the sky, floating in mid-air, overlooking everything. And many figures leaped onto the towering buildings one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their numbers were not large, they seemed to have surrounded the entire Takigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, do you think the Konoha people coming over is another…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Ninja Head of Takigakure led the Konoha group to the foreign guest lounge, the high-ranking officials of Takigakure gathered for a meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden visit of the Konoha people gave them a headache and caused trouble, and they probably understood what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It should be about the Seven-Tails again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ninja Head of Takigakure sighed, speaking with some annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn't the first time they've done this in the past three years. Every time we refused, I didn't expect them to still not give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, Konoha is almost the strongest in the Ninja World now, why is their ambition so great?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An elder couldn't help but speak with displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have the Nine-Tails themselves, Iwagakure has the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, Kirigakure has the Three-Tails and Six-Tails, and Sunagakure has the One Tail. They already have six Tailed Beasts, isn't that enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it's for more leverage in the alliance. Although the Nine-Tails is strong, it's only one after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why not attack Kumogakure and Sunagakure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps they want to, or maybe they want three Tailed Beasts for each village, who knows?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, these greedy vampires!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha's alliance was formidable, with the three great Ninja Villages united. This situation would make anyone's scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever they did would make others think they had some ulterior motive, or that they were fighting for benefits and influence internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what do we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ninja Head of Takigakure rubbed his temples, feeling an immense headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we continue to refuse? This time, they sent Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, Copy Ninja Kakashi, and…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one who defeated the Fourth Raikage and the Kazekage in a one-on-three, led a team of three to conquer Kumogakure, the new generation Silver Flash, Konoha White Fang, the Ninja most likely to bring peace to the chaotic world…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Takemi, who is destined to become the new Hokage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think this matter can be easily dismissed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words brought the entire high command of Takigakure into a deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi hadn't been very active in the past three years, and the details of the attack on Kumogakure were not fully disclosed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Konoha alliance couldn't explain it too clearly, and Kumogakure considered the incident a great humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if many of them had lost their fighting spirit, they still had a sense of shame. How could they reveal their past experiences and fears?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even a small amount of information that leaked out was enough to shock people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown amount of time, an elder finally spoke helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do we really have to compromise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Takemi's visit might be the final ultimatum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another elder also looked pained, the struggle and helplessness of a small country fully displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do we really have no choice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-10T06:42:00.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","5cf5a7438ca48abf2268b1b9a429d7e3492d7cd700a505d5a1d2ebf71a48c19b","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-298","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-296",522,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-cover.jpg"]
