I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"My lord, the construction of the arena requires engineering, not only manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but also some places to learn from, so we found these people," Zabuza immediately replied.

"You must be the lord who wants to build the arena, sir! What a waste of talent! We've offered many suggestions and sent out quite a few slaves!" The slave owner immediately stepped forward and said.

"Crack!" But the next moment, the man's foot was hit by a tremendous force and broke off on the ground, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

"Since you were involved in the establishment of the arena, you should know something. The entire ninja world is facing a crisis, and yet you still do such a thing!"

"Sir! It wasn't us, it was all Sangji who did it!" The people below thought that Kitahara Kaede, who was the one who built the arena, should be considered as one of them, but they didn't expect him to be so decisive in attacking them. Some of them immediately chickened out.

"The one who ran away before! Very well, you guys are quite something. In this situation, you still thought of taking over someone else's job to kill me. It seems you weren't really interested in doing business." Kitahara Kaede said coldly, also wanting to know what had happened.

“Sir! It’s really not our fault. We naturally had to be careful when such a generous person suddenly appeared. After all, if the deal failed, we might lose all the savings we’ve accumulated over the years.” The person below immediately said.

"Then, why don't you just refuse to cooperate?" Kitahara Kaede said coldly.

"Ah! Let me explain, sir. Yes, it was our fault. We were greedy. After all, if this deal had gone through, it would probably have been worth ten years of our previous profits. But we were also afraid of making a mistake. We notified the ninja over there when we saw you use Water Release."

Chapter 581 If you're so capable, go find Sangji!

"However, we were just doing this to protect ourselves. We weren't entirely certain when we notified you. If you really want to make the deal, there won't be any problems. We'll just say that the intelligence was wrong or that we'll find someone to take the blame. If you don't follow the usual procedure, we'll use the power of these gentlemen."

“That’s how it is. Please, sir, forgive us this once, considering that we’ve done our part and have revealed everything!” said one of the older-looking slave owners.

"What! How dare you do this? How dare you use the people of our Water Village as pawns!" Zabuza said angrily.

This time he was really angry. If he hadn't grown a bit over the years and wanted to establish a composed image in front of the newcomers, he might be the one lying on the ground right now, and the other person wouldn't even know Kitahara Kaede. The final result could very well involve the Water Village, and then it would be impossible to explain himself.

"Hehe! You've certainly got a good plan! I never expected you slave owners to be so cunning." Kitahara Kaede chuckled.

“Zabuza, I remember you did something similar back in the Land of Waves, so you must be familiar with these people. I’m handing them over to you. I need to know the secrets they have over those Bloodline Limit users and put them in a safe place!” Kitahara Kaede said, looking at Zabuza in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Kitahara, leave this matter to me and I will handle it beautifully!" Zabuza said, glancing at the slave owner beside him with a chilling look in his eyes.

Slave owners are shrewd people, and upon seeing this scene, they immediately knew that this time things would not end well.

Some of the hot-tempered ones even shouted at Kitahara Kaede: "Hmph! You ninja are so unreasonable! You broke the contract yourself, and now you're punishing us! Yes, we did scheme against you, but the main force wasn't us, it was Sanji. If you're so capable, go find Sanji! Taking your anger out on us when you can't find Sanji isn't the behavior of a strong person!" The people below shouted.

"Shut up!" Zabuza shouted immediately when he saw that the other party dared to speak rudely to Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede waved at Zabuza.

"Heh! You think Sangji escaped?" Kitahara Kaede looked at these slave owners.

“Isn’t that right? That was the bloodline limit of one of Sangji’s slaves. It could instantly teleport to a very far place. We don’t even know where he is now,” the slave owner said.

"Is that so! Then I'll show you!" Kitahara Kaede looked at the person opposite him.

Suddenly, some runes began to appear around Kitahara Kaede.

"Space-time ninjutsu! And it's a transfer without any token. I never imagined that Lord Kitahara was proficient in this." Zabuza was secretly shocked. It was said that even the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash, had not fully mastered this technique.

Those nearby didn't dare to breathe loudly when they saw this action.

"Boom!" Kitahara Kaede's figure disappeared instantly, but he reappeared in a short while, holding a half-dead slave owner in his hand, none other than Sangji.

On his shoulder was a small child who was unconscious.

"My lord! You're back so soon!" Zabuza quickly withdrew his hand upon seeing Kitahara Kaede return. He had only dared to urgently help the ninja below with some tasks when Kitahara Kaede wasn't around.

"My lord, Hui Taro's condition is not good. Can I send him back first?" Zabuza said. He had just checked his colleague's injuries and realized that he had almost crippled him in an instant. Kitahara Kaede's strength was truly terrifying.

"I'll take care of him! His injuries need to be treated quickly, or he might be crippled," Kitahara Kaede said in a breath, his mood having calmed down by now.

"It's that serious!" Zabuza exclaimed in surprise.

"I thought you were the slave owners' backers, so I went a bit too far," Kitahara Kaede said somewhat embarrassedly.

Then, with a series of movements, the person in front of him disappeared.

"I've already told the Mizukage about the situation. You can handle things here. By the way, I'll be here for a while. Let me know when Orochimaru comes," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Orochimaru!" Zabuza hesitated for a moment before immediately agreeing.

In fact, Orochimaru was spotted in less than a day. He looked somewhat pale and was wearing a white lab coat, making him look like a researcher.

"Kitahara-kun!" Orochimaru stood respectfully in front of Kitahara Kaede.

"You arrived so quickly? I remember that although Otogakure is nearby, it would still take you at least two days to get here!" Kitahara Kaede asked, looking at the other person.

"I heard you were here, sir, and I had some research to attend to, so I came to find you!" Orochimaru said respectfully.

"Hmm! We need you here, come on over!" Kitahara Kaede led Orochimaru over.

Orochimaru followed Kitahara Kaede with a curious expression, and soon they arrived at the side of the colosseum.

"Is this... the Colosseum? Did Lord Kitahara buy this place?" Orochimaru asked curiously. He wasn't particularly curious about the surrounding scenery, having been here before.

"My lord!" As soon as Kitahara Kaede arrived, several people knelt respectfully in front of him.

"My lord!" As if sensing something, many more people appeared in front of Kitahara Kaede and knelt down.

"What are these? Bloodline Limits? There are so many of them?" Orochimaru asked, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

“That’s right, that’s why we came to find you. You’ve researched bloodline limits before, now that these people are here to help you, are you confident you can research something?” Kitahara Kaede looked at the other person.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru's expression turned somewhat serious at this moment: "Kitahara-kun, I have been studying those things you showed me before. There are many interesting things in them, and they are of great significance to the entire world. I came here to continue to discuss these things with you."

"I've been researching bloodline limits for a long time. Although they can bring a lot of power, the side effects are also very obvious. I don't think they have much value in that area," Orochimaru said.

“You’ve been researching for a long time. I remember you only have no more than ten bloodline limit users. Although each one is very unique, do you really think that bloodline limits are only what you’ve researched?” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Isn't that right?" Orochimaru asked. He had studied bloodline limits for many years, and it could be said that no one in the ninja world knew more about this than him.

Chapter 582 Conversation

If the other person hadn't been Kitahara Kaede, he probably would have turned around and left after saying that.

"Your previous research focused on how bloodline limits make ninjas stronger, or rather, how to suppress bloodline limits," Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the other person.

“That’s right! The purpose of bloodline limits is for fighting, so what’s wrong with researching how to counter them and how to become stronger?” Orochimaru said, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

“Yes! But such research is far too one-sided. Have you ever thought about why these people are no different from others, but they have bloodline limits while ordinary people don’t, and even ninjas don’t?” Kitahara Kaede said.

Orochimaru nodded with a thoughtful expression, but clearly these words alone were not enough to sway him.

"And you should also know about '510', right?"

“Otsutsuki,” Kitahara Kaede said.

“That’s right! I’m very curious about what kind of species it is that possesses something like the Ten-Tails. If possible, I really hope to be able to study it.” Orochimaru said, and at this moment his appearance suddenly became the same as Kitahara Kaede’s impression.

"Capture them alive? That would be difficult. Right now, the strength of those Otsutsuki is probably only something Itachi could handle in the ninja world. The rest of them are probably no match for them," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Oh! So powerful?" Orochimaru's face showed no fear, but rather excitement, and his tongue kept licking the corners of his mouth.

“That’s right! So you can imagine what the ninja world is facing right now!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"The threat of the Otsutsuki is immense; their arrival would be an unavoidable catastrophe for the entire ninja world," Orochimaru said calmly.

"Hmm! Aren't you worried?" Kitahara Kaede asked, puzzled.

“What are you worried about? Although the entire ninja world can’t deal with those Otsutsuki right now, I believe you, Kitahara-kun, will definitely have a way,” Orochimaru said.

"Oh my god!" Kitahara Kaede staggered, thinking Orochimaru would have some special method, but instead, he just lay down, and on top of him no less.

"The current ninja world is too fragile for the Otsutsuki clan. I am also trying to find a way to improve the strength of the entire ninja world. There was a special mark before, the star mark, which can quickly improve everyone's strength. Itachi's improvement was due to the star mark."

“But star patterns are a very special thing. I’ve been searching for so long and haven’t found another one, so I thought of another way,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Another way? Bloodline Limit?" Orochimaru asked in confusion.

“That’s right! As you know, although the current Kage may have different chakra levels, none of them have a bloodline limit user. If they were to have a bloodline limit user, what do you think would happen?” Kitahara Kaede looked at Orochimaru.

“Bloodline limit, huh? That’s right. Once you have it, you can definitely increase your strength, but the exact amount is uncertain. I’ve done something similar before. Once ordinary people come into contact with the blood components of a bloodline limit, most of them are directly drained by the power in the blood, and the mortality rate is almost 100%,” Orochimaru said.

"Have you done similar experiments? If it doesn't work for ordinary people, what about ninjas?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“Ninjas are hard to find even among ordinary people, let alone ninjas. They are a vital force in every village.” Orochimaru rolled his eyes at the other person and said.

“The power of bloodline limits is indeed strong, and it’s normal that ordinary people can’t withstand it. But ninjas, or rather, Kage-level ninjas, their bodies have been modified by chakra, so they should have a greater capacity to withstand it. Besides, I know you’re researching Sage Mode. What if you have Sage Mode to accompany you?” Kitahara Kaede said.

“That’s right! You’re right, but where do you find so many Kage-level beings with bloodline limits? This isn’t something that can be achieved simply through wealth or power,” Orochimaru said.

"Yes! No one with the strength to reach the Kage level would be willing to be a test subject, but the current situation is special. As long as they are willing, I can go and discuss with those Kage-level people. Not to mention, there will be enough blood samples and other things."

"As for bloodline limits, you should have seen them by now!" Kitahara Kaede looked at the people below.

"In that case!" Orochimaru's face showed a thoughtful expression.

On the contrary, those below also showed fear upon seeing Orochimaru. Putting aside everything else, Orochimaru was quite well-known among them; everyone knew he had previously bought slaves for research, the content of which was incredibly horrific.

"These people can be handed over to you, but you must not mistreat them, nor can you subject them to any experiments that will inevitably lead to their deaths!" Kitahara Kaede told Orochimaru a lot more restrictions.

"Kitahara-kun! Scientific experiments require sacrifices. If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, the experiment will be difficult to continue," Orochimaru said helplessly.

“I don’t care about the rest, and as you’ve seen, there’s no problem with the quantity, which can share most of the risk. Besides, you should have a lot of previous experimental data, right? Having that data can help avoid a lot of things,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"As expected of Kitahara-kun, nothing can fool you." Orochimaru's face showed a helpless expression.

Then Kitahara Kaede looked down at the bloodline limit users below.

"I don't want to lie to you about anything. I've asked you all to come here so you can assist with some experiments," Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the people below.

Those below all showed expressions of "I knew it" upon hearing this, followed by a deathly pallor. It turned out that this person had not come to save them, but only to use them as test subjects.

In their eyes, the test subjects were worse off than dead.

"It's not what you think!" Kitahara Kaede naturally sensed the emotions of these people and immediately offered an explanation.

"What I meant was that you could go to the lab to help out. A terrible enemy has appeared in the ninja world, so we want to improve our strength as quickly as possible. Therefore, we want to figure out why you have these special powers."

"However, I promise you that there will be no coercion in the lab, and you will all receive financial assistance. The more dangerous the task, the more you will receive. You heard what Orochimaru and I said before; we won't make things too difficult for you," Kitahara Kaede explained from below.

Afterwards, he repeatedly emphasized the rules of rewards and punishments, as well as some points to note, and only then did he feel that the eyes of the people around him were no longer filled with the deathly aura they had before.

"Any other questions?" Kitahara Kaede asked, looking down.

Chapter 583 Scientific Ninja Tools

"My lord! Our families, and our village!"

“And my sister!” someone below immediately asked.

“Yes, that was my oversight. Your relatives are all fine. Leave this matter to Zabuza. Many people were found yesterday, so don’t worry!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Are they alright?" the people below immediately asked excitedly.

“It’s not great, as you all know, since they’re controlled by slave owners. But don’t worry, I guarantee their lives will get better and better from now on,” Kitahara Kaede said.

The people below asked again, after all, these relatives were their last thought. They were here as slaves and henchmen, all for the sake of their loved ones.

"Alright, alright! I know you're all worried about your families. Here's what we'll do: once Zabuza is done dealing with them, you can contact your families. If they're too far away, you can contact them by letter," Kitahara Kaede said from below, as if making a promise.

"Alright! If you can really let me see my family and make sure they live well, then my life is yours. As for that laboratory, I'll go. Even if you have to slice me up or put me in a frying pan, I'll endure it!" someone finally said.

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"If you agree, sir, I'll give you my life!" the people below responded one after another.

"Don't worry, you don't need to worry. I said before that it's just for the experiment, there's no need to slice it or fry it!" Kitahara Kaede immediately said.

Then he looked at Orochimaru and found Orochimaru staring at the bloodline limit user who said he could slice him into pieces with a strange look in his eyes.

"Orochimaru, these are just their words. Don't forget the conditions I told you." Seeing this, Kitahara Kaede decided to give him a warning, otherwise it would be too late if something really happened.

"Sigh! Fine!" Orochimaru said, but he could sense the disappointment in the other person's tone.

"Oh, right! Kitahara-kun, don't forget about the Kage-level blood sample and tissue you mentioned. It would be best if we had a living Kage-level member to help." Orochimaru immediately said excitedly. These were materials he had never dared to dream of before.

"Don't worry, I'll go and communicate with them later. By the way, why did you come to see me?" Kitahara Kaede looked at Orochimaru curiously. The other party hadn't said anything, usually just doing research in secret. Since he had come out, there must be something special about it, and he specifically wanted to see him.

"Kitahara-kun! Look at this!" Orochimaru looked at something that had appeared in Kitahara Kaede's hand.

"This!" Kitahara Kaede was stunned the moment he saw the thing. Wasn't this the scientific ninja tool that Boruto used in his exams decades later?

"Kiwabara-kun recognizes this? Did someone create this before?" Orochimaru asked, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

“No! That’s not it,” Kitahara Kaede said.

He had already grabbed the thing in his hand while he was speaking.

"Boom!" Kitahara Kaede moved his hands a few times, and instantly a capsule appeared in his hand. After crushing it, a waterfall suddenly appeared around them.
