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

Chapter 519 519: Welcome To The New World

The beings of the Ninja World fell silent at this moment, Takemi's words echoing in their minds.

Indeed, now there was Takemi, and the Sage of Six Paths, who could deal with the Ōtsutsuki crisis.

But what about the future?

What about their descendants?

Could they protect this homeland, protect everything they fought so hard to safeguard?

People must always rely on themselves!

As for Takemi's Ōtsutsuki identity...

"Thinking back carefully, it seems that ever since Takeshiki appeared, he has rarely killed anyone. Even when he did kill, it was basically centered around the Akatsuki members?"

No one knew who suddenly said this, but it instantly made everyone in the Ninja World seem to react.

Takeshiki had been very restrained from beginning to end. Even though he acted like a typical villain, he had never truly delivered a fatal blow.

In this great war, it seemed no one had any serious problems. Even Guy, who used the Eight Inner Gates, was still lively and kicking.

"Takemi-sama is too kind."

"Even if he had to be the biggest enemy, crushing the hearts of the entire Ninja World, he still didn't deliver a fatal blow, even when misunderstood by everyone."

"In contrast, the Sage of Six Paths..."

"Alas, everything is for the future of the Ninja World."

Such words and thoughts began to spread throughout the Allied Forces, and the voices grew louder and louder.

Similarly, Hagoromo's fists grew harder and harder, and his face became more and more pained.

He had no doubt now. He hadn't thought this way at all, nor had he intended to do so.

No, he hadn't!

But at this moment, no one cared about his thoughts anymore.

Naruto stared blankly at Takemi, muttering to himself, "Takemi, you..."

Sasuke had been watching Takemi, and at this moment, he seemed to finally let go of the sorrow in his heart.

"Takemi..."

Ino murmured, and the other members of the Konoha 12 also looked over, one by one. The excitement in their emotions could no longer be concealed at this moment.

"Alright, everyone, after this battle, I believe you all understand more and realize the Sage of Six Paths's good intentions."

Seeing that Hagoromo seemed to have something to say, Takemi decisively patted him on the shoulder. Even a spiritual body was the same to him.

Then, he took a step forward and said with a smile, "Moreover, even enemies can work together when the Ninja World needs it most. This is also what the Sage of Six Paths most wanted to see."

Madara and Hashirama exchanged glances.

Although Kakashi and Obito were one alive and one dead, they couldn't help but glance at each other.

And the ninjas from other villages also couldn't help but eye each other. Once upon a time, they were sworn enemies.

"Don't blame the Sage of Six Paths. This inheritance of will is not only what he wanted to see, but also what we have always needed."

As he spoke, Takemi raised his hand towards the sky. The shattered moon was still continuously falling towards the Ninja World. The energy tides it caused had already begun to spread over the Ninja World, but Takemi's calmness remained as before.

The faint smile on his face at this moment was no longer the indifference from before, but a never-before-seen tranquility.

"So, everyone, are you ready?"

As he spoke, the Chakra within Takemi pulsed.

And in the sky, the shattered moon instantly stopped at this moment.

On the earth, countless people witnessed that miraculous scene. The moon, which had been shattered by brilliant golden light in their eyes, now seemed to rewind in time, constantly reversing. And when they came back to their senses, a new moon was already hanging in the sky.

The bright moon was still clear, and silver moonlight spilled onto the earth. Everything that had just happened was like a fleeting dream.

Takemi's voice resonated in everyone's hearts at this moment.

"Welcome to this new world!"

— — —

Time flowed on.

As Takemi restored the moon in the sky to its original state, a world-ending war finally came to a complete end.

This war had too great an impact on the Ninja World, no one would ever forget its brutality.

Likewise, no one would forget the meaning of this war, and...

Takemi's benevolence, and the Sage of Six Paths's foresight.

Perhaps, for all the ninjas who had participated in the war, what they really wanted to say was the cold-bloodedness, mercilessness, and extreme cruelty of the Sage of Six Paths, and so on. But the words, once they reached their mouths, ultimately turned into foresight.

No one could be sure what the Sage of Six Paths, who had already transformed into Chakra, was truly thinking, or where he was observing this world from.

Thinking about it in their hearts was one thing, but if they actually said it out loud, it wouldn't be a good thing.

Gradually, the Sage of Six Paths had reached the point where he was referred to by indirect terms like 'cannot be called by name' or 'you know who'.

In short, no one in the Ninja World blamed Takemi. In fact, there were praises for his 'benevolence' everywhere, as he truly didn't go for the kill, whether it was before or during the final battle.

"It's just that he was too deeply influenced by the Sage of Six Paths."

Recalling Takemi's final battle, those cruel words that would likely never be forgotten, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you crazy? If you want to die, don't drag me into it."

Of course, as soon as this was said, someone would immediately be terrified.

Besides that, countless others felt that these words were incredibly cool when spoken.

"To speak the truth while also completely breaking someone's spirit, as expected of Takemi."

"What a pity, Takemi is Konoha's Fifth Hokage. How can Konoha be so lucky?!"

"What's there to fear? The Ninja World isn't what it used to be. Everyone is the same now."

Countless people in the Ninja World were discussing Takemi, as his influence on the entire Ninja World was simply too great.

What they didn't know, however, was that Takemi was currently rolling his eyes at Sasuke and Naruto.

"I say, aren't you two too annoying? Disturbing someone's sleep early in the morning will get you struck by lightning."

"Hey, is it still early morning?"

Naruto looked up at the sky. The sun was high and shining.

Sasuke sighed, "Takemi, it's not early. It's time to work."

"What work? Aren't you annoying?!"

Takemi immediately became displeased. He stretched and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"I've fought wars for most of my life. What's wrong with resting a bit? I haven't even asked for music and dancing, so stop bothering me."

"..."

Takemi's extremely irresponsible attitude immediately left Sasuke and Naruto speechless.

They really hadn't expected Takemi to be so lazy, but the embarrassing thing was that they didn't dare to say anything.

The impact of the final battle on them was simply too great, even after they learned that it was all 'the Sage of Six Paths's scheme'.

They were afraid that the Sage of Six Paths's scheme would become reality.

That kind of deep-seated, soul-penetrating pain was still fresh in their memories, and they would probably never forget it.

Sasuke had experienced the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, but after the Edo Tensei incident and the complete resolution of Itachi, that sorrow had been alleviated.

However, Takemi's matter had an even greater impact on him than the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre.

Now that everything had been recovered, he didn't want to face that kind of pain again.

Similarly, Naruto felt the same, and the harm Takemi's matter caused him was probably even greater.

Takemi was the first person to acknowledge him, also his best friend, mentor, and the trailblazer of his life's path.

The person whose back he would chase his entire life, and the one who helped him find his parents and make more friends.

Such a person unexpectedly became the ultimate enemy who wanted to destroy the Ninja World?

No matter how strong Naruto was, his heart had shattered at that moment, but fortunately, it was all just the Sage of Six Paths's plan. It was for the greater good of the entire Ninja World.

Naruto would not hate Takemi in his heart, because he was entrusted by the Sage of Six Paths.

But he would somewhat have complaints and dissatisfaction towards the Sage of Six Paths in his heart.
