I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

However, the current form of that mist seems a bit off.

It changes amidst the mist and the appearance of Tsukikawa Isshiki.

Orochimaru was also surprised.

But more than anything, it's a pity.

Chapter 397 The checkpoint created by Tsukikawa Isshiki!

Why did Kitahara Kaede realize that Orochimaru was somewhat of a pity?

All I can say is that Orochimaru's expression was written all over his face.

Before Kitahara Kaede could say anything...

Orochimaru sighed as he gazed at the cloud of mist not far away.

"So it wasn't that Jiraiya guy after all."

Kitahara Kaede didn't know why Orochimaru harbored such resentment towards Jiraiya.

After all, in the scripts he knew...

Jiraiya doesn't seem to have any grudge against Orochimaru.

Of course, it's also possible that he just didn't notice.

However, his intuition tells him that it's best not to ask any questions.

It would be bad if Orochimaru suddenly went berserk.

Therefore, Kitahara Kaede now directs his attention towards the fog.

Just as he was about to make a move, Kitahara Kaede remembered something.

It seems that he developed a method to dispel the fog.

As for bringing the fog back, it seems that "343" hasn't tried that yet.

Actually, you can't really blame Kitahara Kaede for this.

Previously, Kitahara Kaede and Tsukikawa Isshiki had already been lost in that mist.

They finally came up with a way to expel them.

How could he possibly try to bring the fog closer to himself?

Meanwhile, Orochimaru noticed that Kitahara Kaede hadn't moved yet.

Then he asked with concern.

"What's wrong with the Fifth Hokage?"

I can't let Orochimaru know that I'm not very good.

So, Kitahara Kaede said with an awkward smile.

"There's nothing seriously wrong. Let me observe him for a while, then I'll just grab him!"

Orochimaru gave a vague "oh" as if he understood.

Then Kitahara Kaede tried to approach the mist while controlling the fog.

Because Kitahara Kaede can freely control the distance between the fog and herself.

So Kitahara Kaede walked to a distance that was extremely close to the fog.

Orochimaru, however, did not follow.

He claimed that he wouldn't disturb Kitahara Kaede when she checked her gift.

However, Kitahara Kaede guessed.

Orochimaru may be starting to lose faith in himself.

After thinking about it for a moment, Kitahara Kaede stopped thinking about it too much.

When you get close enough to the fog to a certain distance.

Kitahara Kaede saw what appeared to be a line of small characters in the middle of the mist.

The name of Tsukikawa Isshiki is also marked on it.

However, the ball was spinning in the mist.

Therefore, Kitahara Kaede went through a lot of trouble to finish reading the message left by Tsukikawa Isshiki.

The message that Tsukikawa Isshiki left for Kitahara Kaede was very simple.

"I've deliberately weakened this fog a bit, but of course I don't know if you can withstand the pillar. The fog clearing process is divided into two stages."

"Actually, there's only one level, but I specially designed one for you."

When Kitahara Kaede saw this...

I can already picture Tsukikawa Isshiki's ridiculous expression.

Kitahara Kaede thought of Tsukikawa Isshiki, who had once been Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Perhaps, Tsukikawa Isshiki inherited the eccentricities of the Otsutsuki clan.

As for the hurdle mentioned therein.

Kitahara Kaede felt that it was the hurdle he had just overcome.

After all, only that guy could have come up with the idea that his inner demon was Tsukikawa Isshiki.

Fortunately, he has made it through safely.

So, Kitahara Kaede continued reading.

"The second step is the same as the steps I took to collect the fog; you just need to enter the fog."

Looking at such simple words, Kitahara Kaede fell into deep thought.

Kitahara Kaede witnessed the entire process of Tsukikawa Ichishi gathering the mist.

It seems simple.

However, Tsukikawa Ikki made some preparations before dispersing the fog.

He seemed to be searching for something in the fog.

Then, it seemed that they had found it, and only then did they begin to collect the mist.

Kitahara Kaede thought to himself.

Orochimaru's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Fifth Hokage, how is it? Can I come over now?"

Orochimaru actually saw Kitahara Kaede and the mist coexisting amicably from afar.

He was already getting impatient.

So he ran straight towards Kitahara Kaede.

Startled, Kitahara Kaede exhaled a breath of fear and looked at Orochimaru behind him.

"It's not ready yet. If we're not careful, we might both be swallowed up by this thing."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Orochimaru teleported away to some unknown place.

Kitahara Kaede shook his head indifferently.

"I'll wait for you here."

Soon after, Orochimaru's voice came from behind.

Judging from the sound, Kitahara Kaede knew that Orochimaru must have traveled a considerable distance.

Otherwise, Orochimaru's voice wouldn't have been so quiet.

Think about it.

Kitahara Kaede no longer used the mist control technique.

The mist that had been separating Kitahara Kaede from the fog began to surge towards him.

Before long, Kitahara Kaede's body was completely engulfed by the mist.

"I'm in?"

Kitahara Kaede looked around at the unchanged world.

He really didn't understand.

Didn't they say that Tsukikawa Ikki only made one move?

However, it seems to Kitahara Kaede that Tsukikawa Isshiki has moved both his arms and legs!

However, it's no use for Kitahara Kaede to think about it now.

He has now entered the fog.

We can only wait and see.

However, Kitahara Kaede had just taken a step.

A curtain of light rose up in front of him.

Immediately, a phantom figure appeared in front of Kitahara Kaede.

"Tsukawa Ishiki?"

Kitahara Kaede looked at the familiar guy in front of him and asked a question.

The other person simply looked at Kitahara Kaede with a faint smile.

Kitahara Kaede was also lost in thought at this moment.

Could this be some kind of artificial intelligence created by that guy, Tsukikawa Isshiki?

Suddenly, the artificial intelligence Tsukikawa Isshiki in front of them started to move.

He bowed to Kitahara Kaede.

"Hello Kitahara-kun, how did you pass the first test? The first test is the inner demon test of this fog. When you encounter your inner demon, you have already been swallowed up by the fog."

Listening to Tsukikawa Isshiki's explanation.

Kitahara Kaede was deeply shocked!

It turns out that he had entered the mist before he met Tsukikawa Isshiki.

Immediately, a rather absurd idea popped into Kitahara Kaede's mind.

Could Orochimaru also be an NPC?

"Actually, although this is your gift, if someone else accidentally wanders in, they could also take it away."

3.6

Tsukikawa Isshiki then began to explain.

Now Kitahara Kaede truly understood.

In other words, there's no way I can take any chances.

Because Orochimaru is real.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me how to pass this level!"

Kitahara Kaede said impatiently.

He really hadn't expected this.

The second challenge is the one that Tsukikawa Ikki created that backfired on him.

Therefore, his tone became somewhat unpleasant.

Of course, what angered Kitahara Kaede the most was...

That Tsukikawa Ichishiki was truly his inner demon.

Even more importantly, Kitahara Kaede considered this mist a treasure.

It can reflect the inner demons of others.
