Chapter 71 of "Naruto: What Kind of Starter Pack is 13 Years Late?" unveils a new twist: "It seems there are no problems for now." Inside a cave deep within the dense forest... See what happens!

"It seems there are no problems for now." Inside a cave deep within the dense forest of the Land of Hot Water, Kakashi and Takemi sat side-by-side against the wall, while Guy observed the surroundings. All three of them had tattered clothes Takemi's upper garment was completely gone, and Kakashi's green vest was also missing. Only Guy looked perfectly normal. After checking around, he returned to the cave and, seeing the two disheveled individuals, he quickly gave them a thumbs-up with a smile. "Yosh, it seems I won this time. So, from now on, let me protect you and show you the power of youth!" "This isn't the time for that..." Kakashi rubbed his head, still feeling dizzy. He said, "What we need to do now is quickly consolidate the intelligence and send it back, and then we also need to leave this place as soon as possible." He was indeed very fatigued. It was his first time using the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the feeling of his Chakra being siphoned off made him incredibly uncomfortable. Fortunately, this state could be deactivated, otherwise he wasn't sure if he could endure it, but he still sighed a little. "It's a pity I couldn't keep an eye on Obito." "There was nothing we could do, Kakashi-sensei." Takemi spoke with some fatigue from the side. "His space-time ninjutsu is elusive. In that situation, I'm afraid no one would have been able to do anything." "Indeed, Kakashi." Guy also nodded along, offering a word of persuasion, but soon he turned his gaze to Takemi again. "But, Takemi, you were really amazing. If you hadn't caused such a huge commotion, we would still be struggling in a hard fight right now." "Luck, just luck..." Takemi gave a dry laugh, but Guy rubbed his chin and said, "Your performance just now was a bit off. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I might have been caught in the blast." "The guy I was fighting was torn to shreds by the shockwave, it was truly terrifying." "However, it was precisely your attack that forced Obito to choose to save someone." "I was also affected by the shockwave from your side." Kakashi pursed his lips and asked Takemi with curiosity, "What exactly was that about?" "Eight Inner Gates." Guy didn't wait for Takemi to speak and looked at Takemi with an incredibly serious expression. "You might have used Eight Inner Gates, and even some other things, right, Takemi?" Not just Guy, but Kakashi also frowned and looked over. This gave Takemi a headache, but Guy's words happened to fit his pre-set excuse. "Something like that." Takemi nodded, following Guy's words. "The guy I was facing seemed to have several hearts." "Those hearts, through his secret technique, turned into monsters that could fight, and each one had a unique Chakra nature." "And he knew I could use the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he was always on guard." "Plus, he was very strong in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and other aspects, so I could only resort to unconventional methods. He didn't have information on my Eight Inner Gates, so..." "Several hearts, creating fighting monsters through a secret technique?" Guy rubbed his chin, and Kakashi also frowned. "Such an enemy is truly dangerous, but you can't be reckless. The Eight Inner Gates will disrupt your entire body's Chakra. If you act recklessly now, there will be big problems." "Indeed." Guy also sighed, but quickly looked at Takemi seriously and said, "It was luck that you didn't get into trouble this time, but you absolutely cannot risk it with the Eight Inner Gates, understand?" Both of them were giving advice at this time, but they didn't seem too surprised. After all, having experienced so much in recent years, they had slowly gotten used to some things. For example, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Obito caused the Nine-Tails incident and killed the Fourth Hokage and his wife. For example, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old Itachi massacred the entire Uchiha Clan, and even instantly took down Kakashi... Although Takemi came from a civilian background, with his Purple Electricity and Flying Thunder God Technique, he didn't seem like he would be weak at all. After all, Minato had set a precedent, instantly taking out fifty Iwagakure Ninja during the Third Great Ninja War. Whether you were a Jonin or a Genin, you were instantly taken down, with no difference whatsoever. Moreover, that guy didn't even have Takemi's full information, so a surprise attack really wasn't much of a problem. "I understand, I will use it carefully in the future." Takemi nodded, he really thought so too. Eight Inner Gates. The effect was very good, but not entirely good. As an Ōtsutsuki, Takemi was somewhat of a 'privileged user' in a certain sense, and he could initially control the Chakra disruption. But as he opened more and more gates, his Chakra control became somewhat imbalanced, especially at the moment the sixth gate opened. At that moment, he felt the boiling blood making his Chakra even more chaotic, but at that moment, he also felt incredibly powerful. "But the aftermath was indeed uncomfortable..." It brought him great strength, but that wasn't truly his own at the moment. After the thrill, it was replaced by a sense of emptiness and fatigue. It was also fortunate that he obtained 'White Zetsu's cells', which gave him great self-recovery abilities after developing his own bloodline. Otherwise, he might not even be able to walk now, instead of just feeling empty and fatigued, which would be mostly gone after a few days of good rest. "This technique cannot be used recklessly. It's only useful when you're fighting for your life, so..." He naturally had to choose something more stable, with less burden, and which could also increase his power. "Sage Mode..." He naturally thought of the Sage Mode he had already obtained but hadn't yet had time to 'launder' and improve. "And after Sage Mode is activated, besides the facial markings, do the eyes also change color?" Takemi thought of Naruto's Sage Mode, his eyes had changed from blue to yellow. So, for his eyes to change from black to white, wouldn't that be perfectly reasonable?! "I hope he really listened." Kakashi tilted his head, looking at Takemi, but in the end, he shook his head, deciding to go back and talk to Jiraiya about how to properly advise him. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. This time, I also understand more of Obito's abilities. What about you, Guy? Do you have any intelligence?" "Me? Actually, it wasn't that difficult." Guy also pondered how to advise Takemi when they got back, but he still thought seriously and spoke, "The guy I was facing had good Taijutsu. As for Ninjutsu, he didn't seem to show much else, but..." His "but" attracted the attention of Kakashi and Takemi. Especially Takemi, who used the Eight Inner Gates not only for testing but also because he was worried about Guy having an accident. In the end, Guy was the one in the best condition. He was curious how Guy managed to do it. "But, that guy's secret technique is very strong!" Secret technique? Takemi widened his eyes. Did Hidan, in his simple-mindedness, reveal the secret? "His recovery ability is ridiculously strong. No matter how many bones I broke, he could recover." "?" "And, his fighting style isn't youthful at all. He actually poisoned his weapons and tried to poison me." "..." "So, to deal with him, you just need to avoid his weapon attacks and find an opportunity to break his head!" "..." Takemi was a bit bewildered. He looked at Guy in disbelief, now somewhat speechless. No, how did you manage to get all the results right, but all the processes wrong? No, it seems like all the processes were right, but all the results were wrong? Something seems off, doesn't it? At this moment, Takemi was confused. But just then, his system suddenly flickered slightly. [Side Mission Completed] [This Team Cannot Be Without Me!] [Rewards are being settled]
