I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"Why did it take you so long to get here!" The Tsuchikage's face was filled with anger, and when he looked down at their feet, there were many corpses nearby.

"This!" The Mizukage looked around. Some of the people there were even people he recognized. They were already elite Jonin before, and now they were at least Kage level. However, these people were just corpses below.

"Kitahara Kaede! Did you do this on purpose? If only it had happened sooner, if only it had happened sooner!" The Tsuchikage's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.

"Hmph! Earlier? You know the distance between my Water Village and your Earth Village, right? Do you think we came here so quickly on purpose?" Mei Terumi said bluntly, showing no consideration for the other party's feelings.

"Hey!" The Earth Shadow sat down and slammed his hand down hard, causing the clod of earth to crack.

"Otsutsuki! Is there any trace of them?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"No! It was already like this when we arrived." The Earth Shadow's expression was grim.

Just then, a continuous stream of highly skilled ninjas began to rush over from all around.

"Huh? This?" Mei Terumi said, looking at the ninja rushing towards her.

"I notified the village to evacuate beforehand, and some people had already left. Fortunately, this arrangement reduced a lot of losses," Tsuchikage said.

"Hmm? You knew about the whereabouts of these Otsutsuki in advance?" Kitahara Kaede immediately looked at the Tsuchikage.

"Hey! Come with me!" Tsuchikage watched as Kitahara Kaede flew off into the distance, and in no time they arrived at a small village nearby.

Chapter 599 Agreed

In this small village, many people were busy at work, and many others were kneeling on the ground weeping. If these people had anything in common, it was that they were all ordinary people with no chakra whatsoever.

In the world of Naruto, an ordinary person like this would have a miserable fate without the help of a ninja.

“All the ninjas in the entire village have been wiped out. Look over there, there isn’t a single intact corpse,” the Tsuchikage said sadly.

"Lord Tsuchikage! You must stand up for us!" The people below knelt down and cried out.

"Don't worry, everyone, don't worry, I will definitely stand up for you and severely punish the murderer!" Tsuchikage said to those below.

"As you all saw, the Otsutsuki arrived here first and immediately killed two of our Jonin. However, they seem unaware of the summoning beast incident. The summoning beast then used reverse summoning to find me. That's when I learned what had happened here, and I sent quite a few ninjas here, but!"

"Sigh!" The Tsuchikage sighed. Mei Terumi and the others didn't ask any more questions. Judging from the situation, they knew that the Otsutsuki were not holding back at all against the ninjas.

"I've made up my mind! I'm going to build a spatial token for you, Kitahara-kun, in Tsuchikage Village!" Otsutsuki suddenly said to Kitahara Kaede very seriously.

“Okay! But I need to open a trade route through the Tsuchikage village. As for the distribution of profits, I will have the people of Konoha discuss it with you!” Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the Tsuchikage.

"Okay!" The Tsuchikage nodded in confirmation, his face grim.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!" As they spoke, several figures suddenly landed, and were shocked by the scene around them. The corpses and the weeping crowd were far more shocking than what they had seen in the Land of Waves.

"The Otsutsuki are really ruthless!" the Kazekage exclaimed, looking at the scene before him. The Raikage, standing to the side, also wore a thoughtful expression.

"Kitahara Kaede, I agree with everything you said. Let's establish spatial coordinates for our Tsuchikage now!" the Tsuchikage said.

"Huh! What's going on?" The others all looked puzzled. Before, the Tsuchikage was the most resistant to establishing spatial coordinates. How come he changed his mind so quickly now?

"No!" None of the Kage present were fools; they almost instantly understood the reasoning behind it. If the Otsutsuki could turn Tsuchikage Village into this state, then other places would be the same.

"Kitahara Kaede, our Raikage can establish spatial coordinates. Let's establish our side first. We'll provide whatever you need!" the Raikage said domineeringly.

“It’s the same in our Sand Village!” the Kazekage said.

The people next to him spoke up one after another.

"Let's establish our side first! I was the first to suggest it."

"Tsuchikage, the Otsutsuki have already arrived here and shouldn't be coming anytime soon. Establishing our presence here first is the best option."

"Are you Otsutsuki? How do you know what Otsutsuki is thinking? Look at the state of our Tsuchikage, do you think we can afford to be angry and wait for the next time to shine? We must first establish our Tsuchikage!" the Tsuchikage said.

“Our Raikage is known for its speed. Establish your base here first, and then we will help you establish spatial coordinates,” the Raikage continued.

The people around immediately started arguing. They had no choice but to argue, as this involved their lives and fortunes. If Otsutsuki were to come to their village and do something like this, probably no one could withstand it.

Seeing the other Kage rank members arguing and even paying a heavy price, the Mizukage was glad he made the choice. Luckily, he acted quickly, otherwise he would be the only one arguing like this now, which would definitely give him wrinkles!

Thinking about it, Mei Terumi pinched her cheek smugly.

"Alright! Stop arguing!" Kitahara Kaede spoke up at that moment.

“I’m not limited to creating spatial coordinates by myself. Don’t forget I can use my wooden clones!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Yes! That's great!"

"Now we can get started together!"

"Phew! That's great, I'll contact the village right away!" someone nearby said immediately.

"However, there are conditions for establishing this spatial array!" Kitahara Kaede said again. He wanted to use this matter to truly bring about the integration of the entire ninja world and promote peace in the ninja world.

"What are the conditions!" Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the people next to him became much uglier, but since they needed Kitahara Kaede's help, they didn't say anything more.

"In the future, I plan to unite the trade of the major ninja villages, such as the sand gold of Sunagakure and the specialty foods of Mizugakure. In the past, these things suffered great losses during transportation, but now that a spatial array has been established, the circulation of these things will be a good thing for the entire ninja world."

"I know you're worried about political changes in the village, or even that other villages might covet it. This time, it's just trade between the villages, so you don't need to worry."

“However, all living things that circulate through the spatial array need to pay me a 10% handling fee, a portion of which will be used for the repair of the spatial array.” Kitahara Kaede looked at the others.

"Isn't 10% a bit too much?" the Earth Shadow said from below.

Although the number may seem small, it's important to understand that if Kitahara Kaede's method were implemented, the number would be enormous.

“Oh! If you think it’s too much, you don’t have to create it,” Kitahara Kaede said directly.

"Uh!" Kitahara-kun, isn't this a bit much?! The Tsuchikage's expression was a little unpleasant. He just wanted to bargain with the other party. This dosage was common before. Every time the major ninja villages discussed matters, the proportions were changed and adjusted to a range that everyone could adapt to.

"Do any of you have any objections? If not, let's get started!" Kitahara Kaede looked over.

Seeing Kitahara Kaede's attitude, the others naturally didn't say much and immediately expressed their agreement.

"You! Hey, Kitahara-kun, we have no objections. Since you're here, let's start with our Tsuchikage. I'll have everyone fully cooperate with you," the Tsuchikage said, seeing that the others were ready to begin.

Kitahara Kaede stared at the Tsuchikage for a moment, causing the latter's face to turn pale and then he said, "Of course, I have been working to promote peace in the ninja world. It would be best if Lord Tsuchikage were willing to help."

Then Kitahara Kaede formed hand seals, and several shadow clones quickly appeared around him.

"I'll have my clones go with you to set up array coordinates in the village. If anything happens, you can contact me through this!" Kitahara Kaede said, waving his hand as he placed the communication devices in the hands of the five Kage.

Chapter 600 The Discovery of the Otsutsuki

"How do you use this?" Wu Ying asked Kitahara Kaede.

"This was made by Orochimaru. As long as you crush this thing, I will react naturally. Although it is a one-time use item, it can ignore distance and will not cause any problems at least within the ninja world," Kitahara Kaede said.

Wu Ying looked at the items in his hands and noticed that they were different colors, which made them easier to distinguish.

"Let's act now!" Raikage said immediately to Kitahara Kaede. They had rushed over after hearing that Otsutsuki was here, leaving only a shadow clone in their village. Now that they had no idea where Otsutsuki was, it would be better to return to their village.

"That's great. This will make things much easier if anything happens. Let's go back to the village first. I feel uneasy here," Lei Ying said.

The figures of the group disappeared in an instant, with Kitahara Kaede following behind.

The Raikage watched as Kitahara Kaede's clone caught up: "Are you alright? The situation in the village is a bit unusual, so I wanted to get back as soon as possible." The Raikage said. He was a ninja who excelled in strength and speed, and he wouldn't have arrived so late if the Raikage Village hadn't been so far away.

“Yes!” Kitahara Kaede nodded.

Raikage glanced at his opponent, whose speed was similar to his own, and whose face showed no signs of strain. So he sped up, but unexpectedly, Kitahara Kaede's speed remained close behind, and his expression and movements didn't change much.

"I've known for a long time that Kitahara Kaede is the strongest person in the entire ninja world, and his speed must be extraordinary. But now it's just a shadow clone, which feels like it's only at the Kage level at most. Could it be that I can't even match the speed of a shadow clone?" The Raikage looked at Kitahara Kaede behind him and increased his speed once again.

Kitahara Kaede didn't think too much about it; he just wanted to quickly set up the spatial coordinates in the village so that he could get there immediately if he encountered Otsutsuki again.

The Otsutsuki who came this time are exceptionally ferocious. If they are allowed to stay in the ninja world for any longer, it will be a huge disaster.

Time passed second by second, and the Raikage's face grew increasingly grim, even turning somewhat red: "To be able to do this, my speed (bddg) has almost reached its limit, except for not using any forbidden ninjutsu, while he seems to have not used any ninjutsu at all, still relying on the power of taijutsu."

What a joke! I am the Raikage. Apart from the Yellow Flash back then, who is faster than me? Besides, even if the Yellow Flash didn't use ninjutsu, his speed might not be as fast as mine now.

As Raikage's speed increased once again, this time even some purple light began to appear on his body.

"Damn! Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? They've already started using such ninjutsu!" Kitahara Kaede thought to himself.

That makes sense, considering the existence of the Eight-Tails in the Hidden Lightning Village. That guy doesn't seem very reliable, so it's no wonder the Raikage is in such a hurry. Since that's the case, it's better not to procrastinate like this. Thinking this, Kitahara Kaede increased his speed once again.

As Kitahara Kaede's speed increased, Raikage's speed also increased once again, but it was noticeable that Raikage's face turned somewhat bluish-purple.

Seeing the other party's expression, Kitahara Kaede was still puzzled: "Could something have happened in the Raikage? Why does the Raikage look so bad? But it shouldn't be related to the Otsutsuki clan. It seems to be a family matter!" So Kitahara Kaede didn't ask any more questions and just silently sped up his pace to support the Raikage.

The two, one unaware of the other's thoughts and the other fiercely competing, covered a journey that would have taken nearly two days, reaching the edge of Raikage in less than a day.

Thump, the two bodies landed to the side.

"Crack!" A large crater was smashed into the ground beneath Raikage.

"Who goes there!" The Lightning Village reacted quickly; basically, as soon as the two landed, some ninjas rushed over.

"Are you alright?" Kitahara Kaede asked Raikage with concern, as he seemed to have seen the other man stagger slightly.

"It's nothing! What could possibly happen to me? On the contrary, it's you, Kitahara-kun, that you're just a clone. Do you even have enough chakra?" the Raikage asked.

"Don't worry! It's more than enough." Kitahara Kaede replied. He hadn't had enough chakra when he was in the Water Village, so the quality of this shadow clone was much higher than the last one. He could just cancel the shadow clone if something happened.

"Humph!"

For some reason, Kitahara Kaede felt that the Raikage's expression seemed even worse: "Sigh! I hope the situation in the Lightning Village isn't too serious. It seems this place isn't very peaceful either. I'd better hurry up and finish processing the spatial coordinates before leaving."

Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Yo was leading his guardians through a desert.

"Found it!" came the Guardian's voice, and Otsutsuki Yo appeared beside him instantly.

Before them stretched a vast desert, and directly in front of them stood a colossal sphinx statue.

“This!” Otsutsuki Yo showed a thoughtful expression on his face, then walked towards the Sphinx.

“That’s right, there is a certain aura, somewhat similar to that described in the records.” He raised his palm forward, and the power of the Otsutsuki began to swirl in his hand.

When his palm was placed on the Sphinx.

"Snap!" A crisp sound rang out.

Then came a series of sounds, and cracks appeared all over it. The Sphinx had changed its appearance drastically. It looked like a human with an enlarged body, but it had unusual horns.

That's how it looks! It seems to be what the Otsutsuki looks like after transforming!

"That's right! Just as recorded! Just as I expected!" Otsutsuki Yo's face showed an excited expression.

"My lord! What is going on here?" The guardian standing to the side looked surprised, not because of the appearance of the statue, but because of the special aura flowing around it, an aura that made him want to worship.

"The birthplace of the Otsutsuki clan, or rather, one of the backup locations we found back then!" Otsutsuki Yang said with excitement in his eyes.

"What!" The guardian below also gaped in shock.

The ancestral home of the Otsutsuki clan is not the original place where their lives originated, but rather a place that has undergone changes. Legend has it that there was once a member of the Otsutsuki clan who was close to achieving the ultimate goal of the Otsutsuki clan: becoming a god!

However, their birthplace gradually began to collapse due to overexploitation, war, and other reasons.

Chapter 601 Both Sides

The legendary strongman of the Otsutsuki clan who discovered this phenomenon tried every means to no avail, and in the end, he could only select a few inhabited planets in space as backup sites for the Otsutsuki clan.

The current ancestral land was one of the locations chosen back then. It is said that many good things were left behind in other locations as well. It is said that the legendary Otsutsuki went to another planet to try to become a legendary god, but in the end, there was no news of him.

"This! Could it have been left behind by some great master?" the guardian beside him said cautiously.

“Very likely! The aura here gives me a sense of connection to our origins. Perhaps there are secrets left behind by some great being here. If I obtain those, I might even have a chance to become a god!” Otsutsuki Yang said with an excited expression.

"Go!" At this moment, he couldn't help but rush down into the hole next to him.

The guardians beside him also followed behind with extremely excited expressions. They all held the legendary Otsutsuki clan member in the highest esteem.

"..."

"Bang!" Another giant scorpion rushed out from the surrounding area, but was crushed mercilessly by the guardian.

"Hmph! So many inferior creatures here! They're truly trash, aren't they afraid of disturbing the spirit of the lord? They deserve to die!"

Otsutsuki Yang's expression grew increasingly grim. This place didn't look like a place belonging to the Otsutsuki clan or a burial ground at all; instead, everything looked very strange.

Especially those inferior creatures, how could these things appear in the Ōtsutsuki region?

Finally, they arrived at a dimly lit tomb chamber, which was also the lowest and most central part of the place.

"Hmm? What's going on? The aura here has become rather chaotic and unpleasant, even inferior to that of the statue outside," the guardian said in a puzzled voice.

Behind him were numerous corpses, scorpions, crustaceans, and even countless tiny insects the size of fingernails swarming on the ground.

"Could this be some great person?" They slowly walked towards the coffin in the middle.

"Bang!" Otsutsuki Yo glanced at the coffin, his eyes still holding a hint of longing, but when he saw what was inside, a powerful force instantly blasted the entire coffin away.

"Damn it! This lowly creature!" he said, looking at the withered body inside. It was clearly the same lowly creature he had seen before, just like those so-called ninjas outside.
