"Ah, so uncomfortable."
"Bastard, I knew you cheated, hahaha!"
At dusk, Takemi left Ichiraku Ran with two blond-haired kids, but Deidara, who was competing with Naruto in eating noodles, couldn't hold on.
He himself didn't vomit, but the mouths on his hands couldn't take it anymore.
Originally, the mouths on his body were used for chewing and sticking, and they didn't have the ability to eat.
But for the sake of showing off, he desperately cramd food into both mouths, overwhelming them.
At this mont, his face was full of misery, and the mouths in his hands were sticking out their tongues, looking battered.
"Hmph, anyway, I won."
Deidara ignored Naruto's taunts, he snorted lightly and looked up.
"Lost ans lost, don't give any excuses."
"You cheated!"
"Not convinced?"
"Both of you shut up!"
However, they hadn't argued for long before Takemi grabbed them both by their collars and slamd them against the wall.
"You ate so much of my food and then threw it up? I don't care about your excuses, I only treated you to five bowls each, you'll have to pay back for the rest!" After saying that, Takemi finally let go of the two blond-haired kids.
He finally felt relieved. These two blond-haired kids were truly too much. But soon, he realized he might have underestimated them.
"Hmph, it's just a few bowls of noodles, how petty, hmm!"
"Mmm hmm, he used to trick into buying him a lot of Ran, which cost a lot of money."
"Money? Oh no, old man used to pay for everything, I never needed to collect any money, this is troubleso."
"Hehe, I'm better than you, I also have an old man who gives money, lots of it."
Both of them have a Kage paying for them, right?
Takemi couldn't be bothered with these two anymore, but at this point, the Anbu also appeared, evidently to take Deidara to a designated residence.
Deidara was an outsider, and even though Takemi looked after him during the day, he still needed to go to a designated place and be supervised by the Anbu when it was ti to rest.
Speaking of which, Takemi was actually quite surprised. He had always felt the Anbu nearby, and it was similar with Naruto.
But these Anbu seed to have not prevented Naruto and Deidara from eting. Takemi didn't believe Sarutobi Hiruzen was unaware of these things.
"It seems there's no intention of hiding it, or perhaps preparing for the future?"
In the future Chunin Exams, a large number of foreign Ninja will enter Konoha, but Naruto will still run around and even participate.
"Forget it, I'll just do my own thing, the rest is none of my business."
Although Deidara was a bit crazy, he understood so principles, after all, he was Ōnoki's disciple.
Even with a sulky face, he still followed the Anbu.
"This guy, he's so bad." Naruto pursed his lips, unable to help but mutter softly.
"But he's also amazing, how does he have so many mouths?"
"Indeed, and you get along well with him?" Takemi nodded, then looked at Naruto with a playful smile.
Naruto pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, but that guy is also a bastard!"
"Mmm hmm, congratulations, you have a new friend."
"Hey, are you listening to ?"
"Since he's a new friend, you can pay for the money he owes, you're welco."
"Wow, I knew it, you bastard!"
Naruto imdiately couldn't hold back, he instantly jumped up.
But Takemi didn't pay him much mind, with a flash, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only Naruto behind.
Whoosh—
With a slight tremor of Chakra, Takemi appeared in his room.
Looking at the mark on the ground, he nodded slightly.
The Flying Thunder God marks are all different. The Second Hokage's mark was a pattern, and the Fourth Hokage's was a 'Sword of Ninja Love'.
Takemi's was much simpler, just a 'magatama' shaped pattern.
These things are designed according to one's preference, and Takemi naturally chose the simplest way.
"Finally, I don't have to be disturbed by these two guys, I just wonder when Ōnoki will co to pick him up."
Takemi pinched his brow, then sat cross-legged. He now intended to properly try out what he had gotten from Nagato.
Speaking of Nagato, Takemi had always struggled to understand how to calculate his strength.
Because in his mory, Nagato seed to have not reached his limit even when he committed suicide, right?
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the strength to revive thousands of Konoha's deceased."
Resurrection jutsu are not common in the Ninja World. From what he knew, there seed to be only three: Rinne Tensei, Living Corpse Reincarnation, and Dragon Life Reincarnation.
[T/N: One's Own Life Reincarnation is another one. Am I missing sothing?]
Perhaps, the 'Sage's Talisman' that revived Hamura also counts?
But no matter which one, they all revive one person, and the cost is always one's own life.
And Nagato not only fought for so long, but also used jutsu like Super Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei.
Finally, he could still use Rinne Tensei, reviving so many people!
"That is to say, if Naruto hadn't convinced Nagato, then Nagato could have continued fighting, and even Naruto—"
Thinking of this, Takemi couldn't help but frown. He realized he might have underestimated Nagato.
Based on what he rembered, he did seem too exaggerated. Moreover, the Nagato resurrected by Edo Tensei truly displayed his power.
Naruto, who had undergone training on Genbu, and Killer Bee, who was a perfect Jinchuriki, were both disoriented when they encountered him.
Keep in mind that Nagato at that ti had no desire to fight, he was rely being controlled to attack.
"What an outrageous guy."
Takemi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He even suspected that the existence of the Gedo Statue was intentionally suppressing Nagato's growth.
"But no matter what, these are good things, so…"
No matter how outrageous Nagato was, he would certainly be even more outrageous than Nagato in the future.
"Let's begin now!"
Buzz—
With the roar of Chakra, this power instantly exploded within him, and he once again felt the sensation of his blood boiling.

"What's wrong, Fourth Kazekage, so late?"
At dusk, inside the Kazekage's office in Sunagakure.
Chiyo and Ebizo arrived at the office, puzzled. Wasn't it long past closing ti now?
However, they both noticed that the Fourth Kazekage seed to have a troubled expression, which made them wonder if the village was short on money again.
