I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"Ah!" Young Uchiha Shin had never encountered such a situation before and was completely terrified.

"What are you daydreaming about! Lead the way!" Kitahara Kaede's voice rang out once again.

Then, the terrifying energy was actually caught by Kitahara Kaede with one hand, and continuously compressed and shrunk until it finally calmed down and disappeared completely.

"You...you!" Young Uchiha Shin stammered, his words tumbling out. That terrifying power seemed like a toy in the hands of the man before him. Just who was he? Could he be the Kage-level expert mentioned before?

“If you don’t lead the way, you’re of no use, so!” Before Kitahara Kaede could finish speaking, the other party immediately said.

"I'll lead the way!" Then he quickly moved to the side.

He carefully tapped his hand a few times. Kitahara Kaede naturally knew that he was sending messages to his accomplices, but he didn't care.

Uchiha Shin believed that as long as he and his men were well prepared, the person in front of him could be kept, since he had no idea what he would encounter once inside!

Both of them had their own ulterior motives, but the journey was much smoother, and even those high-tech weapons rarely appeared or were simply turned off.

It seems that those in the shadows are also worried about the consumption of these weapons. After all, this consumption is meaningless and can't even delay Kitahara Kaede. In that case, it would be better to let Kitahara Kaede go to the deepest part and then kill him with a thunderous strike!

Young Uchiha Shin secretly observed Kitahara Kaede, but the latter paid no attention.

A few minutes passed, and then the young Uchiha Shin suddenly increased his speed, almost simultaneously.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Fire Release! Great Fire Annihilation!" Dozens of voices suddenly appeared all around.

Dozens of attacks landed directly in front of Kitahara Kaede. But it wasn't too late; just as these attacks were about to hit Kitahara Kaede, the space seemed to change.

"Melt!" A loud shout rang out, and Kitahara Kaede turned his head to look. A pair of kaleidoscopes were spinning rapidly.

The next moment, the surrounding fire blasts suddenly condensed into a single point, and then exploded.

"Boom!"

"You hit it? It doesn't look that strong, yet it activated the highest level of alert." The leader said with some disdain.

"After their Sharingan awakens, they usually gain the ability to control objects, but yours is different. Is it a mutation?" Kitahara Kaede's voice came from beside him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" No one responded, but three kunai immediately flew over from the air, followed by some explosive tags.

"Quite cautious, but I'm not in a good mood this time!" Kitahara Kaede waved his hand, and three kunai landed in his palm. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the positions of the kunai changed.

"Boom boom boom!" The sound of explosions rang out, followed by the rapid falling of surrounding rocks. Behind the layers of rocks, one could see many clones of Uchiha Shin. They were of different sizes, the larger ones already resembling young men, while the smaller ones appeared to be slowly crawling.

The next moment, five young men, Uchiha Shin, stood in front of Kitahara Kaede, one of whom had a particularly ugly expression: "How is this possible! You actually found this way!"

"It's nothing! Just a little trick. But I didn't expect you to have already copied so many of yourselves in the dark." Kitahara Kaede looked around; there seemed to be about a hundred people around him.

"This person is terrifying, use your full strength!" said the young man, Uchiha Shin. The person next to him also acted immediately, his blood-red eyes instantly turning into kaleidoscopes that spun wildly.

"Hmph!" A cold snort rang out, and Uchiha Shin, who was standing in front of Kitahara Kaede, let out a painful cry, with blood flowing continuously from his eyes. Clearly, they had suffered an inexplicable attack at this moment.

“They are far inferior to Itachi, and even Sasuke. Step down!” Kitahara Kaede waved his hand, and the five young Uchiha were slammed against the wall.

"What! Can you still hold your temper and not make a move? Or are you too scared to make a move?" Kitahara Kaede said, staring at the back.

Over there, a huge instrument was flashing a red light. In the center of the instrument was a huge petri dish, inside which Uchiha Shin's true form seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.

However, Kitahara Kaede could feel a gaze constantly watching him.

"what!"

"Ah! Ah!"

Uchiha Shin, who was around them, didn't know what was happening and began to clutch his forehead and groan in pain. At the same time, some of the infant-like clones in the petri dishes connected to the central petri dish also changed, and their bodies began to twist.

Kitahara Kaede frowned. At this moment, Uchiha Shin's aura in the petri dish began to visibly strengthen, reaching the peak of Kage level in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!" The petri dish was kicked away.

"Who are you!" came a deep voice from Uchiha Shin.

"Kitahara Kaede!" Kitahara Kaede looked at the other person, scrutinizing him closely.

Such a gaze made Uchiha Shin feel somewhat uncomfortable: "How did you discover our location? I thought I hadn't made any mistakes."

"It's nothing! The ninja world is only so big. If you're interested in something, you'll always find something," Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

"Is that so! Well, you're really unlucky. Since you've discovered my secret, you'll stay here." With a wave of his hand, several kunai shot towards Kitahara Kaede's position.

Kitahara Kaede easily dodged, but Uchiha Shin's expression remained unchanged. His fingers nimbly stretched out, and behind the kunai, countless threads unfurled, forming a large net that converged on Kitahara Kaede.

"Do all Uchiha like to do this kind of thing?!" Looking at this move, Kitahara Kaede immediately thought of Sasuke's use of kunai. It seems that Itachi (Mano Zhao) also used this move, so he couldn't help but complain.

"Will there be another fire jutsu next?"

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

The enormous flames continued to spread along the silk threads.

"Substitution Technique!" A piece of wood that had just appeared in the spot where Kitahara Kaede had been was instantly turned into hundreds of pieces by the silk threads, and then began to burn.

"Wood Release! You're from Konoha!" Uchiha Shin's expression turned quite grim.

"No! You just said you were Kitahara Kaede!" At this moment, Uchiha Shin's face was so ugly that countless wrinkles could be seen.

"You didn't just realize that, did you?" Kitahara Kaede looked at the other person.

"Damn it!"

The space around Uchiha Shin began to change the next moment, with wrinkles appearing.

"Sever!" Kitahara Kaede immediately threw the kunai in his hand. He hadn't expected Uchiha Shin to be so cowardly, choosing to run away the moment he heard his name.

Chapter 570 Why is it always the same old routine?

“Kitahara Kaede, I have no intention of being your enemy, and I know you know quite a few of the remaining members of the Uchiha clan. You have no hatred for the Uchiha clan, so please let me go. You can take anything in this base that interests you,” Uchiha Shin said.

"Do I need you to give me what I want?" Kitahara Kaede asked, looking at the other person.

"Kitahara Kaede! We have no past grudges or present worries, so why did you attack me? You should be able to sense it, right? Even if the Hokage were reborn, he wouldn't be able to easily defeat me," Uchiha Shin said threateningly.

“Who said we’re not enemies these days? We’ve actually developed some grudges recently!” Kitahara Kaede said calmly, looking at the other party.

"Uh!" This stunned Uchiha Shin, and the next moment his face showed a furious expression.

"What did you say! I've been inside the base the whole time and haven't gone out at all. How could I have a grudge against you!"

"Is that so?" Kitahara Kaede looked at the young man Uchiha Shin below.

In an instant, Uchiha Shin understood something: "Did they offend you?" Uchiha Shin looked over and one person's eyes suddenly flickered.

"Hmph!" Uchiha Shin's figure vanished, reappearing directly beside the young Uchiha Shin: "Always causing me trouble!"

As he spoke, his palm suddenly shot out towards the other person, instantly piercing through his body. The other person's face was still filled with terror and disbelief when, in the next moment, he was completely silenced.

Those nearby were startled and quickly distanced themselves from the body.

“How about this! I’ve already taken care of the people who had a grudge against you. We have no enmity between us at all. Why don’t we turn hostility into friendship?” Uchiha Shin said.

Kitahara Kaede shook his head.

"Kitahara Kaede! Don't push your luck!" Uchiha Shin shouted angrily.

"In the end, what they did was all because of you, or rather, you are the culprit behind all of this. I may not do anything to these people, but you are destined not to escape!" Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the other party.

"You!" Uchiha Shin's face was ugly, and his body trembled slightly.

"Kita! Hara! Kaede!"

"Amaterasu!" The moment he looked up, Amaterasu was already released.

"Tsukuyomi!" The two skills were activated almost instantly.

"Break!" With a loud roar, the sound seemed to carry a strange power. This attack actually extinguished Amaterasu to a great extent, and at the same time, the eye technique also became ineffective immediately.

"I'm really fed up with you Uchiha. You all use the same tricks. I've developed a conditioned reflex to it now. First, you seem like you're about to give up, and then you attack without warning," Kitahara Kaede complained.

"How is this possible!" Uchiha Shin said in disbelief. He believed that even if Uchiha Madara reappeared, he would not be able to resist the timing and speed of his attack. How could he have been blocked by Kitahara Kaede like this?

"Kitahara Kaede! Your strength has reached such a level that you certainly don't care about Konoha anymore. You must be eyeing the entire ninja world. Spare me, and I'll be your subordinate!" Uchiha Shin immediately said again.

"It seems you really haven't been paying attention to the outside world for a long time. The entire ninja world has returned to a state of peace, and you're still thinking about war? You must be out of your mind!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shin knew he had no hope. Surrendering would not be accepted, and becoming their subordinate would not be. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to fight to the death!

"Go! Kill him!" Uchiha Shin shouted to the clones around him, then charged forward. The ninjutsu he had just used had not had the desired effect, so he could only try to improve his taijutsu.

Kitahara Kaede stared in surprise at his opponent, watching the palm slowly approach, moving at a snail's pace.

"Is this what you call taijutsu?" In an instant, Kitahara Kaede grabbed the other's hand, then pulled and stretched it, and kicked out with great force.

Uchiha Shin wanted to fight back, but the strength in his hands was far beyond his ability to stop. Although he saw the opponent kicking at him, he could only manage to put his feet in a defensive stance no matter how hard he tried.

"bump!"

"Crack!" A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out.

"Ah!" Uchiha Shin cried out in pain. A single blow had broken his leg. What kind of power was that?

"Die!" Kitahara Kaede's voice rang out.

"No!"

"do not want!"

"Damn it, if that's how it is, I'll make sure you suffer even if I die!" Uchiha Shin stared at Kitahara Kaede, and black flames appeared out of thin air on his body.

"Sealing Technique!!"

"Come with me!" Uchiha Shin suddenly grabbed Kitahara Kaede's hand with his own, and the next moment countless runes began to wrap around his body, binding Kitahara Kaede as well.

"With such a wide variety of skills, this is the first time I've ever seen an Uchiha use sealing techniques!" There was no panic or fear.

"Kitahara Kaede! Come with me! No matter how strong you are, you absolutely can't escape at this close range!" Uchiha Shin said somewhat maniacally.

"Escape? Why?" Kitahara Kaede looked at the other party, and the next moment, an expression of disbelief appeared on Uchiha Shin's face. The chains and the words around Kitahara Kaede began to change and distort.

"No! How could this be! How could this be!" Uchiha Shin roared.

“It’s nothing! In the end, you still don’t understand sealing techniques enough. Orochimaru wouldn’t be so surprised.” Kitahara Kaede said, by which time he had already put a considerable distance between himself and Uchiha Shin.

The other person's eyes were lifeless, as if their entire being had been emptied.

The next moment he fell to the ground, and some of the surrounding stones were sealed inside his body. Just like that, he died.

The moment the original body died, the surrounding Uchiha Shin clones were all stunned and didn't know what to do.

Kitahara Kaede looked over, and the other person instantly shuddered.

"Those who have been out, stand on the left; those who haven't, stand on the right!" Kitahara Kaede shouted loudly, his voice carrying a certain allure, something he had learned from Itachi.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding clones immediately obeyed. After all, the original had been killed, and this person was so powerful, they naturally had to submit.

Kitahara Kaede quickly discovered that the number of people who had left this place was not quite right; less than one-tenth of them had left, and the rest were generally still inside the base.

Chapter 571 The Slave Market

Next, a brief interrogation was conducted on those who had gone out. Those who had committed serious crimes were killed, while those who had committed minor crimes were kept in custody, given a demerit, and would be released after undergoing labor reform upon returning to Konoha.

Afterwards, Kitahara Kaede even contacted Kakashi.

"What?! You've brought up such troublesome things again?" Kakashi said, looking at Kitahara Kaede with a reluctant expression.

“Then, we’ll leave this to Kakashi-sensei. After all, these people all have Sharingan, and it would be easy for ordinary people to cause problems,” Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

Kakashi stared at the other person for a long time, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end he only sighed: "Don't worry, I will take them back to Konoha first. However, since they are not ordinary people, they are somewhat dangerous, so let's send them to Danzo's old laboratory first, and then deal with them as appropriate after some time." Kakashi said.

“Yes! I trust Kakashi-sensei with this matter,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Don't worry? Can you honestly say you're not doing this for convenience?" Kakashi said helplessly.

"By the way, the Colosseum is nearing completion. I wonder how things are going on your end? Any news about the Otsutsuki clan?" Kakashi asked cautiously.

"There's no progress yet. I'll let you know if there is. Let's start using the arena as soon as it's finished," Kitahara Kaede said with a somewhat serious expression.

Meanwhile, in a faraway place in the universe, there was a planet that looked like a giant spinning top, radiating a terrifying light.

"Has Ōtsutsuki Kin not returned yet?" A voice came from the center of the sphere.

"Your Excellency, there is still no news."

"With his strength, he should have returned long ago. If he hasn't returned by tonight, Shan, E, and Yang, the three of you go and check on him." The voice from the middle came again.

"Yes!" The three people below quickly agreed. These people were all single-horned, dressed in white, and each of them had an aura no weaker than that of Otsutsuki Kane. In particular, the figure in the middle, surrounded by light, seemed to have an aura that could envelop the entire planet.

The three of them went downstairs.
