Chapter 41 of "Naruto: What Kind of Starter Pack is 13 Years Late?" opens revealing the plot: Takemi might not have thought much about it before, but now he realized something. "The eyes... Discover what happens!

Takemi might not have thought much about it before, but now he realized something. "The eyes that are developing, the bones, these combined..." Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is iut of the question. After all, he doesn't have an eye on his forehead yet, but comparing him to Hamura seems to be fine. Even if it's a mini-version, he's still moving in that direction. "Even those guys on the moon aren't as complete as me, right?" Takemi couldn't help but mutter to himself. He wasn't sure about those people on the Moon. At least from the look of Ōtsutsuki Toneri, he didn't seem to have significant Shikotsumyaku characteristics. "Could it be that Hamura also had two sons, one went to the Moon, and one stayed in the Ninja World?" On the road to Konoha, Takemi followed behind Jiraiya, thinking to himself. Furthermore, he noticed something. His Yin Release came from Obito, and his Yang Release came from Kimimaro, but the final direction seemed to be roughly the same. Perhaps, for the Ōtsutsuki, these are actually quite similar, with no big difference? "Kid, what are you thinking about?" His silence and thoughtful look made Jiraiya a bit curious. He tilted his head and asked, "Haven't heard you say much on the way?" "I'm thinking about having a good soak in a hot spring when I get back to Konoha." Takemi collected his thoughts, shrugged, and sighed. "After all, I couldn't even get into a single hot spring in the Land of Hot Water." "Hey, hey, hey, those were their regulations, not me stopping you." Jiraiya lightly snorted. Then he immediately changed the subject, "Alright, enough about that. You are really amazing, and that Purple Electricity is also really amazing. The ultimate shape and nature transformation." "This kind of extreme control, even I or even Minato, might not be able to compare with you. Now I really think you might actually be able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique." Jiraiya had seen Takemi's Purple Electricity before, but that time it was used against Obito and ended in a flash. Although he was fighting Orochimaru this time, he also paid a little attention to Takemi's side, so he naturally felt it more deeply. That kind of extreme control made him sigh. He now truly believed that Takemi might actually be able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. "Your topic changes are really stiff..." Takemi raised an eyebrow and simply went along with Jiraiya's words, "Perhaps it's possible, but the Flying Thunder God Technique requires an exceptionally high standard. It not only demands extremely high Chakra control but also places no weak demands on the body." "It seems you've found some key points." Jiraiya smiled indifferently and explained seriously, "That's right, this technique also requires extremely sharp reflexes and body coordination, as it's a technique to launch a fatal attack by teleporting to the enemy's side after teleportation." "If your body coordination and reflexes aren't sufficient, either you won't be able to react after teleporting, or you won't even be able to maintain your balance." "If you fall to the ground or run into someone else's kunai, wouldn't that be suicide?" Takemi nodded upon hearing this. Without enough body coordination and reaction speed, the Flying Thunder God Technique would indeed be no different from suicide. "However, the body can be trained, and even reaction speed can be cultivated later." Just then, Jiraiya spoke again, "But when it comes to Chakra control, training it isn't that easy. It's not that it's impossible, but it's a matter of sensitivity." "There's still a gap between innate and acquired abilities. The precision required for space-time travel is too high. Any slight mistake is fatal." "You have a natural advantage in this area, so you must work hard." "Is that so?" Takemi nodded modestly. However, Chakra control was probably the least of his worries. Especially since his spatial perception had improved. Perhaps not long after returning, he could start making some attempts. "But I remember, the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage and the Second Hokage seemed quite different..." Although both were the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato clearly made significant improvements based on Tobirama's version. In Minato's hands, the Flying Thunder God Technique was no longer just a simple 'teleporter'. It could even be considered a special space-time barrier! "Speaking of which, why didn't you tell me about these things before?" There was still much to research about the Flying Thunder God Technique in the future, so Takemi stopped thinking about it and looked at Jiraiya with curiosity. "Is this information left behind by the Fourth Hokage?" "Of course, I don't know this technique." Jiraiya nodded, not at all bothered that he didn't know the Flying Thunder God Technique. "I didn't tell you before because I was worried you'd get distracted. Learning any technique requires a gradual process." "Take it step by step. First, fully understand the knowledge on the scroll before moving on to other things." "See, I'm telling you now." Takemi complained, "Tch, if you had told me earlier, maybe I would have already learned it." Jiraiya said, "You little brat, you only know how to boast. Do you think this is a simple technique?" Takemi asked, "Also, Jiraiya-sama, didn't you say you were going to teach me some special techniques? How come there wasn't anything special in the end?" Jiraiya said, "Hey, hey, hey, that's not my fault. You yourself weren't willing to learn the Summoning Technique of Mount Myōboku, so I couldn't teach you." The two bickered along the way, making the return journey feel particularly relaxed. A few days later, they finally returned to Konoha. With Jiraiya's reputation, they entered the village without any hindrance. "Finally back. I didn't realize it's been almost half a month." Looking at the familiar surroundings, Jiraiya had a bitter expression, as if his freedom had left him. "You go back and rest first, or go see your teacher Kakashi. I'll go report to old man. It's such a hassle." "Yes." Takemi shrugged. This was the good thing about being with these Jonin. They didn't need him for reporting. The Jonin did it all for him, leaving him at ease. However, just as Jiraiya was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and spoke, "Right, Jiraiya-sama, can I apply for the Chunin Exams?" "Huh? Chunin?" Jiraiya was startled. He only just remembered that Takemi was just a Genin who had just graduated from the academy. "Why don't you just talk to Kakashi about this? He's directly responsible for you, just let him handle it. Anyway, I don't think you need to take the exam. Why bother bullying others..." Jiraiya wasn't lying. At least in his opinion, Takemi didn't need to take the exam to be a Chunin. Although Takemi had many flaws and his command ability was debatable, it was no problem for him to become a Chunin and continue learning under Kakashi. A Chunin indeed needs sufficient mission experience and the ability to lead a team, but who said a Chunin must leave their original team? Even Jonin can form teams if they want to! "Is that so? I understand. Thank you, Jiraiya-sama." Takemi was naturally happy to hear this news, but he still decided to ask Kakashi about it first. After all, in his memory, Naruto had already become the savior, yet he still had to participate in some Chunin Exams. In the end, during his match against Konohamaru, he even eliminated himself by using Sage Mode. "The main mission is to become a Jonin. I wonder what I'll get this time, and I also want to see if I can be one of the proctors for Naruto and the others..." Takemi smiled and bowed slightly to Jiraiya before turning and leaving. But as he walked, he suddenly realized something. "This time I went to see Orochimaru, but I didn't seem to see Kabuto. He should be in Konoha, so..." He wouldn't be participating in the Chunin Exams starting this year, would he? "This kid..." Jiraiya looked at Takemi's retreating back and couldn't help but smile. Turning his head, his gaze fell upon the Hokage Rock. Under the sunlight, the four faces appeared grand and radiant. His gaze swept across them and finally stopped at the last, younger face. After a while, he showed a faint smile. "Minato, this kid isn't like you, yet he's very much like you..."
