I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

“You will all die in front of the demons.”

······

"Is it."

Everyone was declared dead, and Kitahara Kaede stood up.

"Yes!" Ziwan quickly found the direction of Beiyuan Feng.

She said coldly.

"If you can't manage your subordinates properly, then you might as well give up the Hokage position sooner rather than later."

“And then they won’t have to die young,” said the priestess Shiwan.

She wore an orange, elaborate robe resembling a twelve-layered kimono, paired with long, pinkish-white hair and purple eyes.

Judging from her appearance, she is a very beautiful girl, ranking among the top three in the Naruto world.

"what the hell!"

Naruto thought Shion's temper was terrible. And what... this was a direct prediction that everyone would be doomed?!

"..." Kitahara Kaede.

Although Aster is very beautiful, her attitude is indeed very bad.

There is an absolute indifference to it.

"Now that you've all come here and learned of the prophecy, then choose to leave," Ziwan said, as if issuing an order to leave. "Try to escape from here as much as possible."

"Then you might still have a glimmer of hope."

“Otherwise, they will be devoured by demons within Japanese territory,” Ziwan said.

As she spoke, she walked to the seat of honor in the living room, sat down quietly, and closed her eyes without saying a word.

Kitahara Kaede glanced at the bespectacled young man who was the captain of the muscular male bodyguard squad.

The young man also looked troubled.

"Excuse me," the young man said as he stepped out. "The priestess is rather grumpy when she wakes up, so she said some rather harsh things."

"Please bear with us," the bespectacled young man said.

“I’m not lying!” Ziwan said in a cold tone, her eyes still closed. “I had another precognitive dream, [saw] the future.”

"But, Lady Shrine Maiden!"

The bespectacled young man quickly bowed. "To directly predict the deaths of Lord Kitahara and his entourage... that's highly unlikely."

The members of the Mighty Male Guard Corps are all men, and all of them are young men from the Land of Demons.

This country was spared from war in the past because of the power of the priestess, so everyone is willing to serve her.

Therefore, young men and women aged 15-25 would join the "Hunky Male Bodyguard Corps".

I would have no regrets even if it meant dying to protect the priestess.

He seemed very intimidating, but the bespectacled guy knew that everyone was just an ordinary person and didn't know ninjutsu, so they couldn't compare to ninjas.

In terms of combat strength, they can only be compared to samurai.

However, the ninjas were very strong, and as for Konoha, which ended such a long period of ninja war and the standoff between the five great ninja villages, their Hokage's strength must have surpassed that of all the ninjas of the past.

and so.

It's truly astonishing that someone this strong would be wiped out along with all his subordinates in the Land of Demons.

“I’m not lying.” But Ziwan’s tone was also quite cold towards her guards.

It could even be described as rejection.

"..."

Now everyone thinks that Ziyuan has a terrible personality.

"She's probably saying that our group is here, and then we fight against the demons, and then we'll fail." Kakashi, being an analytical ninja, immediately understood.

At the same time, I mentally complained a little.

Because this priestess appeared cold, she still managed to deliver the message properly.

but.

Kakashi looked at Kitahara Kaede as if seeking her opinion.

Because the situation is really bad right now.

It's not just that Kitahara Kaede was predicted to die; now, are all the people in the group going to perish here?

Is that demon... really that easy to deal with?

Kakashi felt a sense of unease.

"Humph--"

Aster looked at Kakashi calmly.

Kakashi looked at Kitahara Kaede and, after receiving permission, continued to speculate, "Her precognitive dream saw the resurgence of the demons, and then we probably sacrificed ourselves to subdue them, or were defeated by them, or something like that."

“I think the same thing,” Kitahara Kaede finally spoke.

Seeing Kitahara Kaede respond, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he might not have guessed wrong.

Kitahara Kaede said, "The dream you had a premonition of was just a fragment of what you saw."

"Then it is impossible to confirm whether this is true."

"Therefore, your prediction was inaccurate!"

"what!"

Upon hearing Kitahara Kaede's words, Aster immediately stood up.

"Are you saying my prophecy was false?"

“Half fake,” Kitahara Kaede said. “Because you lack experience.”

“You’ve made 99 predictions since you were born… no, including just now, that makes 100, right?”

Kitahara Kaede said, "And the prophecies before were all about your Demon Country."

"Then they all died." 3.6

"But that just shows your limited knowledge. The people of the Land of Demons are just ordinary people; their deaths are real deaths."

"But ninjas are different."

"To be honest, our goal in coming here is to subdue the demon. So the death scene you saw is normal, because my plan was to fake my death to deceive the demon. It is very cunning, and it might not come out unless I deliberately put on a show."

"..." Ziwan. "Are you kidding me!"

Ziwan, whose personality was already considered terrible, suddenly lost her temper.

"Is that so?" Kitahara Kaede looked into the other person's purple pupils.

"Since you think it's a joke."

"Then let's get practical."

“I can resurrect those you foretold to die.”

Kitahara Kaede spoke in an even colder tone than Aster had before, "And your 98 death prophecies are invalid."

Chapter 154 The Sexy First Hokage, Hashirama Senju (Online Translation Available!) (Please auto-translate and subscribe to the full chapter!)

Your 99 death prophecies have failed.

"..." Aster.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) Small Group]

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: Kitahara Kaede really dared to speak this time.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: The priestess prophesied death, and then he directly resurrected those who were prophesied to die. This is simply a direct slap in the face!

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: Hmm... It's quite interesting, but I don't think that's the point.

[Tobirama Senju]: Big brother, you've finally shown some intelligence for once.

【Hashirama Senju's younger brother】: What does that mean?

[Shukaku]: Hmph... I already know about this.

[Shukaku]: I was indeed deceived.

[Shukaku]: Kitahara Kaede just said that, right? The shrine maiden's premonitions can only be a fragment of the future, so... because of the shrine maiden's limited cognitive abilities, she might be seeing things wrong.

【Shukaku】: For example, Kitahara Kaede and Kakashi are putting on an act, and then they fake their deaths.

【Shukaku】: However, the priestess has been in the land of demons all this time, and her understanding of the world has been restricted, so she believes that they are dead.

[Shukaku]: But in reality, it was just an act, wasn't it?

[MattKai]: Ah, I know that. It's like, ah, I died, but I was faking it!?

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: So that's how it is. I almost wavered in my resolve just now. As expected, Kitahara Kaede's strength is far too great.

[Sixth Hokage - Kakashi]: He would not be unable to defeat the demon.

[Perverted Sage]: Kakashi, you still have a long way to go!

······

The focus then returned to Aster.

"..." Aster.

"You mean you want to fight against my precognitive abilities?"

“Yes,” Kitahara Kaede said. “If you don’t mind getting dirty, then we can begin now.”

“All you need is a part of the corpse of the person you predicted would die. Hmm… I doubt there’ll be any fresh hair left, so a small piece of bone will do,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"..." Ziyuan. "Is it the power of a ninja?"

“Yes,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Kakashi and the others listened for a while before finally realizing what was happening.

The resurrection that Kitahara Kaede mentioned should refer to Edo Tensei (Impure World Reincarnation).

The Impure World Reincarnation technique requires a part of a corpse as a medium.

······

“Don’t joke around,” Ziwan said. “The resurrection of the dead is impossible.”

“My true ability is like this,” she said. “To foresee the deaths of others.”

“Then you’re really unlucky,” Kitahara Kaede said. “You have the ability to see the future, but all you see are these kinds of sad things.”

"And if I'm not mistaken, some of those who were prophesied to die are among these guards."

"..." Aster.

“And then all 98 of those predictions came true,” Kitahara Kaede continued. “So you possess the ability to foresee the future, but you find this ability utterly disgusting.”

"And what he predicted were all the deaths of other people."

"Therefore, I loathe this ability."

"But if the Land of Demons loses its priestesses, it will be vulnerable to invasion by other countries."

"Therefore, we can only continue to accept the status quo."

"You can foresee, but you can't change the outcome of someone else's death."

"So, I chose to be indifferent to people."

“Is that so?” Kitahara Kaede said.

"..." Although Kitahara Kaede's tone was gentle, Aster remained indifferent. "Don't act like you see right through me."

"I am a cold person."

"That's how it is."
