At least, he had received a notification from the Anbu last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But did I forget something?\" Takemi wondered as he walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that after saying goodbye to Naruto and Sarutobi Hiruzen yesterday, he had forgotten to do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If I forgot it, then it probably wasn't imprtant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it because he saw Jiraiya and Kakashi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morning, Kakashi-sensei, Jiraiya-sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi rubbed his face, put on a smile, and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You fellow—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Kakashi could speak, Jiraiya spoke with some displeasure, \"You're really restless. Didn't you follow me to find Orochimaru? Don't you know how dangerous Kirigakure is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Kakashi and Jiraiya already knew that Takemi was participating in this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen had also told them about Takemi's value in this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they also knew that one of the reasons Takemi was following along was probably similar to the reason he had followed Jiraiya before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarutobi Hiruzen hoped that they would consider things more carefully and not act recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha was slowly recovering its vitality and couldn't withstand any more turmoil. Even though they understood, it was still a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, but I think I have the ability to protect myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi shrugged and said with a smile. \"And I don't have teammates. Kakashi-sensei and Jiraiya-sama are my most cherished companions, so I also want to do what I can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya shook his head, both amused and exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi spoke up, \"Takemi, this mission isn't simple, unlike our previous ones. You need to be mentally prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\" Takemi smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that both Kakashi and Jiraiya cared about him, and he didn't mind if they were a little long-winded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this mission was indeed different from previous ones, the danger level was simply too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, let's get ready to depart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi nodded decisively upon seeing this, but soon he smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you don't need to be too nervous. No matter what, I will protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya softly snorted, \"Hmph, you don't need to bother. This sage will also look after this kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said with a smile, \"Alright, let's go. There's a lot of stuff to deal with over in Kirigakure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and set off. Kakashi and Takemi exchanged glances and quickly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Jiraiya nor Kakashi actually wanted Takemi to participate in this mission, but they couldn't defy Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders. However, they had already made up their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, no matter the cost, they would protect this kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, they arrived in the Land of Waves by boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect to come here again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi looked around and rubbed the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last time, my luck wasn't so good; I actually encountered Itachi and Jūzō. But it was also precisely because I encountered them that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, stop talking. Those are things of the past.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya patted Kakashi's shoulder and said with a smile, \"People need to look forward, right? Besides, this isn't a bad thing. At least we can figure out a lot of things, right, kid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi also looked around. Coming here last time wasn't a bad thing for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he encountered Jūzō, he managed to trick him with Purple Electricity and gained many benefits. However, he always had regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kakashi-sensei, I heard from the merchants in Konoha that Gato is getting more and more excessive. We...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Takemi could finish speaking, Kakashi's expression immediately changed, and he hastily interrupted Takemi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have more important things to do right now. Don't cause any unnecessary trouble, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right now, we need to focus our energy on the mission!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi couldn't understand why Takemi kept fixating on Gato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted that Gato did seem a bit excessive, and he was indeed rich. But the problem was there was no direct connection between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was the difference between this and robbery?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha had its pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya was also a bit speechless. He seemed to recall Takemi's outrageous statements from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was now wondering what exactly was being taught in the Ninja Academy that had shaped Takemi's personality into this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I know, but I also have my reasons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi looked a bit innocent. While he did covet Gato's money, he genuinely didn't have that intention at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if he did it, how would he recover the money? Besides, there would be opportunities in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, \"Kakashi-sensei, Jiraiya-sama, to better control the Land of Waves, what do you think Gato would do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi and Jiraiya were both elites. Takemi's words seemed to enlighten them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Control through ninjas?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Konoha collects intelligence on surrounding small nations, but this information is gathered by the Anbu. Kakashi had long since left the Anbu, and Jiraiya wouldn't inquire about such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was normal for them to not pay close attention to some things. In the future, Kakashi would lead a team to the Land of Waves and completely fail to anticipate encountering those rogue Ninja from Kirigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once these things were slightly clarified, they immediately reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, ninjas, especially rogue ones.\" Takemi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Based on our known intelligence, Kirigakure is currently in chaos, and many ninjas will likely flee, so...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So their most convenient escape route is most likely the Land of Waves, and the Land of Waves also has a tyrant like Gato.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya now understood Takemi's idea, and nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, relying on these guys' understanding of Kirigakure, perhaps we can save ourselves some trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi also nodded, but his gaze towards Takemi was a bit strange, as he didn't know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that the reason Takemi could think so much was most likely because he was still coveting Gato's money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this coveting, unexpectedly, could also be useful in other areas?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, Jiraiya-sama, do you remember what I told you last time?\" At this moment, Takemi spoke again, which made Jiraiya pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief recollection, he quickly remembered and asked, \"Are you saying that Obito has someone behind him and was incited to hate Konoha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I've been thinking about this, and I have an even more terrifying guess.\" At this point, Takemi's expression became even more serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although Kakashi-sensei's teammate died due to an accident, it was ultimately because of Kirigakure, and Obito might find it difficult to resolve this hatred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coupled with his hatred for Konoha, and the Nine-Tails incident, if these things are connected, don't you think this could be a rehearsal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rehearsal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This single sentence immediately made both of their expressions change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking carefully, it really wasn't impossible, especially since that guy, without a doubt, really did cause trouble in Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he failed, it's hard to say he wouldn't continue, and he has a grudge against Kirigakure itself, so experimenting through Kirigakure...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, things have become even more troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi's expression was complex, but it quickly became stern and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya also nodded. He had also realized the seriousness of the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Mizukage probably didn't hire them. It's very likely...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll only know once we get there, but we also have a clear plan and goal, don't we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takemi smiled. He had been waiting for this for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he wanted to catch Obito, the simplest way was to go directly to the Mizukage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the target was set on the Mizukage, many things would become simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, all that's missing is someone to lead the way...\" Takemi thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon he noticed that someone seemed to be walking over from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-10T06:42:00.326Z",1,"novelbin.me","707b73b2ba8403b1fd0fbd60a6a1f7ded92f7f484fec8f7686b223c92b8f31cb","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-50","naruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-chapter-48",522,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-what-kind-of-starter-pack-is-13-years-lat-cover.jpg"]
