Naruto: What Kind of Starter Pack is 13 Years Late?

Chapter 516 516: Ino's Resolve

"First, use the attacks of tens of thousands of ninjas to force me not to use the Truth-Seeking Ball, then through your cooperation, find a loophole in my defense, or a moment of carelessness."

Takemi gently awakened the fruit, and in an instant, the seemingly endless energy within the fruit continuously surged into his body. He was entirely enveloped by golden energy, looking sacred, yet evil in the eyes of the world.

"Of course, it was also to find a time when I was overly exhausted, to give you a chance to seal me in the end."

Takemi continuously absorbed the fruit's energy, feeling the madness boiling in his bloodline, and the smile on his face became even more brilliant.

"If it were another time, perhaps you would truly have a chance, but the god tree not only let me know your plans, but also provided me with endless energy."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the struggling people present.

"In other words, you actually never had any chance."

As he spoke, the energy within Takemi's body grew more and more immense, and also seemed to become more solemn and sacred. In his eyes, the world seemed to change, everything seemed to return to its origin, as if the very origin of the world had been seen clearly by him.

Space became a plane in his eyes, and the river of time seemed perceptible even without Dojutsu.

Life force, destructive force, the so-called true meaning of Chakra, the so-called natural Sage Art, and even creative force. In an instant, he seemed to understand it all.

The world was infinitely deconstructed in his eyes. Everything within it seemed controllable by him, if only he wished it.

'Why is this somewhat similar to Shibai's Omnipotence?'

Omnipotence is the ability to materialize anything, turning one's thoughts and desires into reality. This is the power used by true gods when creating the world, and it is the ultimate power that only gods can control.

'Am I really going to become an Ōtsutsuki God?'

[Name: Kitagawa Takemi]

[Bloodline: Ōtsutsuki (91%)]

[Dojutsu: Tenseigan]

[Shinjutsu: Tensendō, Kamitsuhirakasa, Omnipotence]

[Special Ability: God Tree Source (Stage 10)]

[Special Bloodline: Kekkei Mora (Intermediate)]

The moment the panel appeared before his eyes, Takemi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He hadn't reached the level of the Ōtsutsuki God yet, but was 91% of the way there?

Whoosh!

As Takemi pondered, a sound of rushing air suddenly rang out. He abruptly turned his head and saw a blonde figure. This made his eyes widen slightly. His hand had already grasped the wrist that was tightly clutching a kunai.

"Ino?"

Takemi's face was full of strangeness. He really hadn't expected this girl to run here.

"Takemi."

Ino's gaze was firm and resolute, and her voice carried questioning and a hint of coldness.

"Didn't you say that your favorite flowers were those that seemed ordinary, wouldn't care about being with other plants, wouldn't consider themselves noble, and would bloom at any time?"

"Ino, run, he's gone mad!" Naruto, seeing this scene, shouted.

Takemi smiled and shook his head. "It seems I also said that my favorite flowers are those that bloom on cliffs, didn't I?"

"So, you are the one who has always been waiting to take that step across the cliff?"

Ino seemed to understand somewhat, and at this moment, she showed a relieved smile.

"Actually, I've already prepared to take that step towards the sky."

Suddenly, she unleashed her maximum Chakra, forming something like ropes that wrapped around Takemi. And the explosive tags hidden on her body were ignited at this moment. She had made all preparations, even if it meant death. However, she quickly realized something was wrong, because her explosive tags seemed to be isolated.

Not only the explosive tags, she found that she couldn't even manipulate her Chakra.

"Indeed, but this step is not easy to take, and even after taking it, what you face may not necessarily be the sky, but more likely the abyss." Takemi's voice echoed leisurely.

He looked into the distance, then slowly spoke, "Well then, everything should end now, everyone."

"I must say, your performance satisfied me."

As his voice fell, a golden glow flashed, and the entire world was covered in golden light.

The roaring energy, accompanied by the golden glow, continuously spread across the sky. At this moment, everyone's eyes could no longer bear it. The vines on their bodies bound them tighter and tighter, as if a suffocating feeling surged into their hearts.

"Is it over?"

Countless ninjas murmured inwardly, that despair and powerlessness continuously impacting them.

"Damn it."

Madara struggled to open his eyes, wanting to see everything clearly. Hashirama also continuously tried to gather Chakra. But no matter what, they couldn't do it. The binding and control of the vines far exceeded their imagination.

"Damn it. Why is this happening?"

Sasuke and Naruto clenched their teeth. They didn't want to give up, but there was nothing they could do.

The golden light became increasingly dazzling, and finally, such intense light made them unable to open their eyes anymore. The extreme pressure made their breathing slow down, and their minds gradually began to empty at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, they inexplicably felt their bodies become lighter, an indescribable feeling reverberating through them. It was like bathing in a spring breeze, refreshing and invigorating, as if they were about to sink into it.

"Is this what it feels like after death? It doesn't seem so bad."

A sense of absurdity couldn't help but arise in everyone's hearts. The battle just now was too despairing, so despairing that one couldn't bear to look back.

Everything just now was too heartbreaking, making them unwilling to revisit it, only wishing that everything was just a nightmare.

Never to recall it again, never to face it again.

"Hey, how much longer are you going to sleep?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice, one that made everyone's hearts collapse in despair, rang out. This voice sent chills down everyone's spines, filling everyone's hearts with fear.

But surprisingly, this time, the voice didn't seem to carry the indifference and coldness of before, but rather a hint of strange teasing?

"Also, Sage of Six Paths, it should be over, right?"

"If this continues, they're really going to die."

These words seemed to pull everyone back from dreams and death, they opened their eyes.

Suddenly, they saw the gigantic Golden Tree still standing.

Takemi, however, was no longer high above. He had descended from the sky to the ground. And he had come to the Sage of Six Paths's side, only the Sage of Six Paths's face was pale.

"What exactly is going on?"
