I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"You're saying you saw Jiraiya?"

Orochimaru nodded.

Kitahara Kaede chuckled lightly, a slight pout on his lips.

"But why do I see a different person?"

Orochimaru didn't say anything, but his disbelief was clearly written on his face.

Kitahara Kaede was certainly not an aggressive person.

So he said it casually.

"If you don't believe me, look me in the eyes."

Having said that, he moved closer to Orochimaru.

The latter, in accordance with Kitahara Kaede's intention, looked into Kitahara Kaede's eyes.

And then Orochimaru looked into Kitahara Kaede's eyes.

He paused for a moment.

"It's definitely not him."

Orochimaru muttered something to himself.

He did see another person in Kitahara Kaede's eyes.

"Who is that? How can they possess such advanced pupil techniques?"

Orochimaru's first thought was of eye techniques.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Orochimaru continued to press Kitahara Kaede for answers.

"Could he be a rising star of the Uchiha clan?" 343

Kitahara Kaede interjected, commenting on the increasingly extreme suspicions.

"Don't overthink it, it might not be a physical entity."

Orochimaru couldn't believe Kitahara Kaede's words.

"It can't be a physical entity? Impossible, there are absolutely no incorporeal beings in the ninja world."

"What if it's outside the ninja world?" Kitahara Kaede's words undeniably shattered all of Orochimaru's absolute assumptions.

Because Orochimaru's research has always focused on matters within the ninja world.

Outside the ninja world.

They knew nothing about it.

Just as Kitahara Kaede finished speaking.

A note suddenly floated in front of Kitahara Kaede.

Orochimaru was about to say "Be careful"

Kitahara Kaede held the note in her hand.

"What is this? A hidden weapon?" Orochimaru guessed.

Kitahara Kaede casually opened the note.

Actually, the reason I opened the note so confidently was...

It was because Kitahara Kaede sensed a familiar aura in the note.

The note carried a trace of Tsukikawa Issho's aura.

In other words, this note was given to him by Tsukikawa Isshiki.

Kitahara Kaede read it through roughly.

The note contained three things.

One of these is the strange thing that Kitahara Kaede is currently facing.

The note also clearly stated this.

This is a gift from Tsukikawa Isshiki to him.

Or perhaps it's the spoils of the last battle.

The other two things are related to the area around the arena.

That was also the area that gave Kitahara Kaede the biggest headache.

Kitahara Kaede had no desire to go there.

After all, the guys over there are all difficult to manage.

In addition to Tobirama Senju, there is now the Ten-Tails.

Fortunately, this time the note didn't mention anything about the Ten-Tails.

Kitahara Kaede has one less burden to bear.

Orochimaru saw the relaxed expression on Kitahara Kaede's face after she finished reading the note.

He couldn't help but ask Kitahara Kaede.

"Was something written inside? What was written?"

Kitahara Kaede gave Orochimaru a mysterious smile.

"I did write something down, and it explained that it was a gift from someone."

With that, Kitahara Kaede took a step forward and reached out to grab Tsukikawa Isshiki in his eyes.

At that moment, Tsukikawa Isshiki, which was in his line of sight, also began to move.

He simply raised his hand and then slapped it down at Kitahara Kaede.

Because he knew the other party was just an imposter, Kitahara Kaede didn't feel much psychological burden.

But it was this moment of carelessness on Kitahara Kaede's part that made him so careless.

He made himself suffer a loss.

That simple palm strike from Tsukikawa Ikki actually forced Kitahara Kaede back.

But in Orochimaru's field of vision.

Jiraiya (bddg) used this palm strike to repel Kitahara Kaede.

Moreover, after defeating Kitahara Kaede.

He started spouting nonsense.

"Fifth Hokage, you're no good anymore. You've never left the ninja world. You should give up your position."

After Kitahara Kaede's words.

Orochimaru knew that this was an illusion or a trick.

Or perhaps it's a pupil technique.

But when he saw Jiraiya acting so brazenly.

Orochimaru finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Ninja Technique - Yamata no Orochi!"

Orochimaru's body suddenly grew taller.

A giant snake with eight heads charged toward Jiraiya, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Having received Orochimaru's earlier warning, Kitahara Kaede had already run to the side.

However, Kitahara Kaede did not believe that Orochimaru's ninjutsu would be of any use against this strange thing.

Soon, Kitahara Kaede was utterly astonished.

Because Orochimaru's ninjutsu was blocked by Tsukikawa Isshiki.

The other party was actually struggling a lot.

"This is unscientific!"

Kitahara Kaede felt utterly absurd.

He was then suppressed by Tsukikawa Ichimoku.

He then launched a direct attack on Tsukikawa Ichishiki.

However, Kitahara Kaede's response was still just a casual remark.

But Kitahara Kaede just couldn't break through that one step.

For a moment, Kitahara Kaede looked at Orochimaru with a blank expression.

"Have you been secretly practicing some kind of supernatural skill behind my back?"

While Orochimaru focused on fighting Jiraiya.

He said with an innocent look on his face.

"no!"

He then continued to exert his power on Jiraiya.

Orochimaru gave a negative answer.

An extremely absurd idea arose in Kitahara Kaede's mind.

"Could it be that this thing uses specific powers based on the person using it?"

What kind of gift did Tsukikawa Isshiki give himself?

Gifts are indeed good; they always reflect something deep within someone's heart.

Kitahara Kaede is obsessed with Tsukikawa Isshiki, the strongest person she has ever seen.

Therefore, what he saw was Tsukikawa Ichishiki.

Orochimaru also harbors a deep obsession with Jiraiya.

Therefore, Orochimaru saw Jiraiya.

But now Kitahara Kaede's problem is...

He's no match for Tsukikawa Isshiki!

If they had the support of the Ten-Tails, things would be fine.

However, a trace of the Ten-Tails' original consciousness resided within him.

After the Ten-Tails acquired its new form, it was taken back.

Now Kitahara Kaede no longer has that ultimate trump card.

He seemed a bit dazed.

Orochimaru, standing to the side, had already exchanged several blows with Jiraiya.

The two fought with alternating periods of division and reconciliation.

Orochimaru would occasionally give Kitahara Kaede a hard time.

The implication is that Kitahara Kaede hasn't joined the battle yet.

He has already started to lose some ground.

Kitahara Kaede directly expressed his helplessness to Orochimaru.

After understanding the situation, Orochimaru suddenly distanced himself from Jiraiya.

They came to stand in front of Kitahara Kaede.

"To make a long story short, your obsession is your obsession, not the current imposter!"

Chapter 396 Kitahara Kaede: I can't do it, I'm faking it!

In fact, Kitahara Kaede knew very well.

However, he now felt that the Tsukikawa Isshiki he was facing was no longer a simple imposter.
