I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"Is it a space-time ninjutsu? Plus some sealing techniques, this thing is very sophisticated," Kitahara Kaede said.

"As expected of Kitahara-kun, you understood the function of this thing just by holding it in your hands, and you even know how it works in its basic way," Orochimaru said admiringly.

"Then why did you come to see me?" Kitahara Kaede asked, looking at the other person.

"There are two reasons. First, I want to gather some of your power!" Orochimaru said, placing a scroll in Kitahara Kaede's hand.

"I've tested this thing; it can easily withstand my full-force attack."

"On the other hand, I need your help to make some improvements, because the sealing technique isn't very impressive. The power placed inside keeps dissipating, and right now, the power that can be placed inside is barely at the Kage level, and it dissipates very quickly," Orochimaru said.

"What do you need me to do?" Kitahara Kaede asked, looking at the scroll in front of him.

"Keep all your power inside, and I can study it," Orochimaru said fanatically.

"Go all out?" Kitahara Kaede looked at the scroll and the power in his hand began to flow slowly.

"Then let's use Wind Release! How about Rasenshuriken!" Kitahara Kaede flipped his hand, and powerful energy immediately appeared.

The spiral shuriken spun wildly at his fingertips, and instantly, dazzling lights appeared on the scroll.

At the same time, Kitahara Kaede felt a pulling force constantly emerging from his body, and his chakra was being transferred frantically.

"Hmm! Not bad, interesting power." Kitahara Kaede looked at the scroll in front of him with a surprised expression. If this thing could be made, it would be a very useful tool when dealing with the Otsutsuki.

Since that's the case! Kitahara Kaede began to increase his power.

"Ok?"

"Crack! Crack!" Just then, many cracks suddenly appeared on the scroll.

"Oh no! Kitahara-kun, watch out!" Orochimaru shouted.

Then! With a loud bang, the scroll in front of him was also suddenly shattered into pieces, accompanied by an explosion with power exceeding that of a Kage.

"Retract!" Kitahara Kaede reached out and compressed the power within, gradually stabilizing the surrounding area.

"??" Kitahara Kaede looked at Orochimaru, whose face showed some embarrassment: "I didn't expect Kitahara-kun's power to be so strong."

“This looks good, but I’m afraid it won’t be able to hold anything beyond the Kage level,” Kitahara Kaede said. Just now, he had added a trace of the power of order to it, but that trace destroyed the scroll as easily as if it were dry leaves.

"Is there any solution? The same goes for scientific ninja tools. As soon as they get close to a Kage-level power, they will instantly explode. Would it be better if the sealing technique were made more refined?" Orochimaru said to Kitahara Kaede, clearly wanting Kitahara Kaede to do the work.

"Is this why you came to see me?" Kitahara Kaede rolled her eyes at him and said.

"Hehe!" Orochimaru's face showed an awkward smile.

"That's right, I've tried many methods, but I haven't been able to improve the strength or accuracy of the sealing technique."

“There’s no way to improve the sealing technique. The reason for this is the material. Your material can’t withstand stronger power. Even if you use a powerful sealing technique to restrain the power, problems will easily occur when you use it,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Materials? What kind of materials are needed to withstand such great power? Why didn't this happen before?" Orochimaru immediately asked.

Chapter 584 Research Begins

"Before, it was because my power level wasn't high enough, but now it's obviously sufficient. As for the specific materials, I don't know, since I've never dealt with these things before," Kitahara Kaede said.

"We can already mass-produce this kind of thing. I wonder if it would be effective against the Otsutsuki?" Orochimaru asked.

Kitahara Kaede shook his head: "The Otsutsuki and the others have reached a new level of power. That level is a qualitative change for a Kage-level being. It would be equivalent to at least two significant levels of power for you now, so this thing is useless."

"That's such a pity. I thought this thing could be put to good use." Orochimaru sighed, but Kitahara Kaede felt that he wasn't disappointed that the thing was useless, but rather that it couldn't be used to capture the Otsutsuki...

“Who says it’s useless? Although it can’t deal with the Otsutsuki, this thing has a huge role to play in the ninja world,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"What's the use? Even dealing with a Kage wouldn't be easy, since every Kage has an exceptionally wealth of combat experience," Orochimaru said.

"Stop trying to cause trouble!" Kitahara Kaede said with a helpless expression.

"This thing would be incredibly useful for the construction of the ninja world. Simply put, why is the Sand Village so barren? Because it lacks water resources. Using a Kage-level Waterfall Technique could solve many problems. Moreover, the wooden shield can accelerate plant growth, and Earth Release techniques can be used to build houses more effectively."

“If these tasks were done by Kage-level ninjas, probably none of them would be willing. And even if there were willing ninjas, they would be affected by the different regions. Water Release wouldn’t be that useful in a place like the Land of Water, and the same goes for Rock Release in the Land of Earth. But with this scroll, things have become much easier,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Yes! This will definitely allow the ninja world to improve rapidly." Orochimaru's face showed a lot of excitement.

“That’s right, I’ll leave this to you. Oh, and remember to differentiate the scrolls and mark the corresponding prices!” Kitahara Kaede said.

“Of course, Kitahara-kun, don’t worry. I’m very experienced in this kind of thing. Otherwise, how could I have kept such a large experimental base running before?” Orochimaru said.

"Oh, right!" Orochimaru said, handing Kitahara a sealing scroll to him.

"Kitahara-kun, since you want to find the Five Kage to discuss the matter of the Kage-level blood organization, then let them lend a hand. The scrolls here are the kind I gave you," Orochimaru said with a smile.

Kitahara Kaede took the scroll and sensed it, then looked speechless. There were probably several hundred scrolls inside. Orochimaru really knew how to cause him trouble.

"This!" However, before he could finish speaking, Orochimaru suddenly collapsed to the ground like a puddle of water.

"Looks like the time for this clone is up. Kitahara-kun, I'll leave things to you. I'll wait for you at the test base." After Orochimaru finished speaking, his entire body turned into a ball of water.

"A water clone? No, there's something else inside. It even fooled my eyes. This is really something. I have to get my hands on this next time I see Orochimaru," Kitahara Kaede thought to himself.

Then came a moment of silence. Even if you were to input ninjutsu into hundreds of scrolls one by one, it would take a long time. Those Kage-level ninjas probably wouldn't agree. But let's do our best and leave the rest to fate.

"Zabuza! How's the matter with those bloodline limit users going? How much longer will it take to resolve?" Kitahara Kaede said to the person beside him, his voice carried through a special bloodstain.

"Don't worry, sir. I can finish the integration here in a day at most. If things go smoothly, I might be able to finish today," Zabuza said immediately.

"You really know your stuff, no wonder you used to do this kind of thing." Kitahara Kaede exclaimed in admiration, while Zabuza felt a moment of embarrassment.

"Yes! There's one more thing. If it's a place far away, have their villages write letters or something. I'll need these bloodline limit users to help out in a while, so it's best to put their minds at ease," Kitahara Kaede instructed.

"Understood!" Zabuza replied immediately.

Things were on track, but Kitahara Kaede didn't stop. After dealing with the slave traders, he immediately rushed towards the Five Kage.

"How is the situation now?" Yuan Nafeng asked, looking at the representatives of the Five Kage ahead. Kitahara Kaede was also familiar with these people; they were all future candidates for the Five Kage.

"Lord Kitahara, things are going a bit better than expected. The Five Kage are already fighting in the arena. In order to reduce the threat from the Otsutsuki, the Five Kage want to increase their strength as soon as possible," Chojuro said somewhat shyly.

He didn't want to step forward in this situation, but he had no choice. Terumi Mei had made it very clear to him that he had to perform well this time. Moreover, Terumi Mei already knew about the matter with the slave traders, and she was worried that it would give Kitahara Kaede a bad impression. Therefore, he had to perform well this time and actively handle the tasks assigned by Kitahara Kaede.

"Hmm! They did the right thing, so let's not disturb them for now. Next, let's talk about the blood composition of Kage-level individuals and the organization's affairs. You should know about that, right?" Kitahara Kaede looked over.

Having no other choice, Chojuro reluctantly approached and said, "Lord Kitahara, this matter is quite difficult to handle. Although everyone supports your decision, the selection of contributors has not yet been finalized. In the end, we decided to look for some rogue ninjas, but there has been no progress so far." Chojuro said apologetically.

"Do you have a goal?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"Yes! There are several individuals in this area whose strength has reached the Kage level, but their exact whereabouts are difficult to pinpoint, and our forces need to be extremely cautious if we intend to capture them." (Li Dede)

Kitahara Kaede waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about that. Just give me their approximate location."

"Thank you very much, Lord Kitahara. Is there anything we can do to help you?" Chojuro said with a sigh of relief.

"No!" Kitahara Kaede was about to refuse when she suddenly remembered something.

"There really are some things!" Kitahara Kaede said, taking out some scrolls from his person.

"I got this from Orochimaru. It can store the ninjutsu of Kage-level ninjas. You can help me find some people to infuse ninjutsu into it, right?" Kitahara Kaede said.

"This!" Chojuro hesitated, and the others' expressions were not good either. This matter seemed simple, but after all, these were Kage-level ninjas. Although they belonged to their village, whether it would be effective for these juniors to command them really depended on the other party's mood.

Chapter 585 Delegating the Mission

Kitahara Kaede noticed the other person's expression and was about to say something when he realized it was best to let it go.

"No problem! Lord Kitahara, rest assured, our Mizunin Village will definitely cooperate with you!" Chojuro said, clenching his fist.

In his heart, he was determined to complete the task assigned by the Mizukage, no matter how difficult it was.

"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you. By the way, if any of the Kage-level fighters in the village have any problems, you can tell them this is for dealing with the Otsutsuki. If they provide any power, I'll remember it," Kitahara Kaede said, the subtext being that if they tried to cause trouble, he'd kill them.

"Lord Kitahara, rest assured, we will definitely complete your mission." The others below also expressed their determination.

"Hmm! Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to deal with those S-rank rogue ninjas. Peace in the ninja world is hard-won, so it's best to eliminate potential threats," Kitahara Kaede said.

“That’s all. I will pass their information on to Lord Kitahara later. By the way, Lord Kitahara, this is our Mizunin Village’s communication tool, which can be used to easily deliver information to you!” Chojuro said, taking out something that looked like a conch shell.

Kitahara Kaede casually placed the item on his person. Everyone else who saw this looked thoughtful, followed by a wave of annoyance.

"Damn it, this brat from the Water Village actually got in touch with Lord Kitahara beforehand. I was only thinking about the two things he assigned me and didn't even think about contacting him."

"Okay, if anything comes up, just contact me through this!" Kitahara Kaede said, and then his figure suddenly disappeared.

Meanwhile, outside the ninja world, the Otsutsuki finally arrived at the place where Otsutsuki Kin had been before.

"Is this the edge of the area? It looks so desolate, there's not a single life in sight," said Zen Otsutsuki, yawning.

Otsutsuki Yang looked around in confusion, with three Otsutsuki standing respectfully to the side behind them.

"That's strange. This place shouldn't be far, but why can't we see that guy Jin's presence? Isn't he the one who loves destroying these things the most?" Otsutsuki Akatsuki said.

“Let’s go! He went there back then, let’s go take a look,” said Zen Otsutsuki.

"Hmm? This is interesting. There are a few weak auras nearby. Could it be that Jin has discovered a suitable place to plant the Divine Tree?" Otsutsuki Zen looked in a certain direction, which was the direction of the Ninja World.

"Whoosh!" Without saying a word, they disappeared from their spot in just a few breaths and rushed towards the Ninja World.

Itachi Uchiha stood in the void, with Naruto and Sasuke beside him, both cautiously looking around.

"Sasuke, when do you think those Otsutsuki will show up? The one next to Kitahara-kun wasn't that strong," Naruto said, bored.

"I don't know! We'll just take them down when they come," Sasuke said from the side, appearing much calmer than Naruto.

"Don't underestimate them. Have you forgotten the Otsutsuki Kin you fought before? Although you've grown rapidly, facing the Otsutsuki is still extremely dangerous. Don't act rashly if anything happens," Itachi Uchiha reminded him from the side.

"I know, I know! Itachi, you're so strong now, you must be right." Naruto said casually.

Sasuke nodded as well.

"Hmm!" Just then, Itachi's expression suddenly changed.

"Something's not right. There seems to be something strange nearby!" Itachi's expression turned serious.

"Nearby? No way? How come we didn't sense anything?" Naruto said.

Sasuke kept looking around, but he didn't find anything.

"Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto moved his hand, and hundreds of clones of himself instantly appeared behind him.

"I'm going to investigate and see if (bddg) really has any enemies!"

"No! Naruto, recall your clone!" Itachi Uchiha immediately said.

Although he didn't know why, Naruto still subconsciously listened to Itachi Uchiha's words.

"We don't want to alert them yet. Be careful and hide your presence," Itachi warned. The three of them walked towards the huge meteorite block next to them and hid to the side.

"Could you be sensing something wrong? Why isn't there any sound at all?" Naruto asked, puzzled.

“No, Odosan’s eyes have undergone a special evolution, so it’s probably because our senses aren’t as sharp as his,” Sasuke said.

"Perception?" Naruto calmed down, and gradually a frog's face appeared in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had entered Sage Mode.

"This will give my senses an extremely terrifying boost. Let me see what the anomaly is!" Naruto's senses spread outwards from his own center.

"Hmm! Over there!" Naruto suddenly looked in the other direction.

At that moment, three white figures appeared in front of them. The figures were not moving fast, as if they were looking around at something, and they did not conceal their aura at all, which is why they were easily discovered by the three.

"Otsutsuki!"

"Six still! Damn it! What do we do?" Sasuke said, his face grim.

"Don't alert them yet. You all have clones in the ninja world, right? Make the clones disappear first to notify them!" Itachi Uchiha immediately said.

"Alright!" Naruto said, and with a bang, his figure disappeared, while a new Naruto clone appeared in his original position.

"I didn't expect these Otsutsuki to actually appear. Damn it! The Colosseum has just been established and many Kage-level fighters are training there. And we're both just clones." Naruto's expression was rather unpleasant.

“Odosan, you’re the only one here, so be careful. If things get tough, you retreat first, and the two of us will stay behind to cover our retreat,” Sasuke said.

“Be careful. Don’t worry, I’m not the same as before. Although I’m still not as good as Kitahara-kun, these Otsutsuki shouldn’t be in any danger of dying,” Itachi Uchiha said.

"What do we do now?" Naruto asked in a low voice.

"Let's keep an eye on them for now, and get the ninja world ready as quickly as possible," Itachi said.

The Otsutsuki over there were moving very fast, and in no time they were almost out of Sasuke's sight.

"This!" Zen Otsutsuki's face showed surprise: "Look, there is still some gold aura on this planet."

"Judging from this, it seems that Kin has used all his strength. What exactly is here? Or is there some terrifying forbidden zone around us?" The three of them looked at the planet that Kitahara Kaede and Otsutsuki Kin had contemplative expressions on their faces.

Chapter 586 The Otsutsuki Attack

Although Kitahara Kaede had tried her best to eliminate the presence and traces of the two, it was clear that there was still a special connection between these Otsutsuki.

Otsutsuki's expression turned somewhat solemn: "At this level, there must be at least one being comparable to Gin. It seems that the fruit of the Divine Tree here has been eaten by outsiders!"
