I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Just then, it seemed that Otsutsuki Akatsuki heard something, and then a beam of light appeared from within his shadow.

This light seemed to appear out of thin air and possessed extremely powerful strength, with an indescribable charm within it.

The tentacles that were about to touch Killer Bee and the Raikage were suddenly frozen in mid-air.

"This!" Raikage and Killer Bee were both stunned.

"What are you standing there for! Let's go!" Kitahara Kaede's voice rang out.

The two of them immediately ran outside from their original positions.

As Raikage charged forward, he glanced back and saw the surrounding shadows shattering one after another. At the same time, Kitahara Kaede's clone seemed to have been smashed into numerous fragments and cracks, as if a mirror had been shattered on the ground.

This single glance was enough to horrify Raikage. He knew that a shadow clone was, in theory, just an energy body. Although it possessed the consciousness of the original body, it would disappear with a bang once its energy was exhausted.

However, Kitahara Kaede did not look like he had exhausted his energy at all; rather, it was as if his body had been truly torn apart.

"Crack!" Kitahara Kaede's body completely disappeared, and the surroundings returned to normal.

"Pfft!" At the same time, Kitahara Kaede, who was near the Hidden Lightning Village, also spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning extremely ugly: "It has actually come to this! Damn it, these Otsutsuki are all more troublesome than the last. I wonder if Itachi has solved the problem of the teleportation channel yet."

Then Kitahara Kaede's body vanished instantly, leaving only a pool of bright red blood in its original spot.

Otsutsuki's expression also turned extremely ugly. This was the first time he had used this space technique and still failed to stop Jiraiya. However, the opponent paid the price with his life.

"Do those two little bugs think they can escape? How ridiculous!" Otsutsuki closed his eyes and instantly sensed two powerful energies erupting in the distance, seemingly trying to flee.

Chapter 609 Run

“Let’s go! Let’s harvest the energy left behind by the fruit.” He said to the guardian beside him, whose face showed a hint of shock and fear.

On the other side, Killer Bee and the Raikage's expressions turned extremely ugly.

"Big brother, let's split up and run. That way we'll have a better chance of escaping!" Killer Bee said, unusually serious.

"What are you saying! They are two people. If they are separated, they can pursue their own goals separately. There's no need to discuss this matter," Lei Ying said immediately.

“Yes! But their target is me. If it were just that guardian, Big Brother should be able to escape, right? Even if he can't escape, he can hold out for a while longer!” Killer Bee said seriously.

"Enough talk, let's go together," Raikage said directly.

"Big brother! Don't waste the opportunity Kitahara Kaede created for us. Hold on a little longer and maybe Kitahara Kaede will come over. Don't forget you are the Raikage!" Killer Bee said.

"Yes! I am the Raikage, and the Raikage has never abandoned anyone in the village, let alone my own brother! Now, as the Raikage, I order you to run! Run as far as you can! Otherwise, you will be considered a traitor!" the Raikage said.

"Big brother!" Killer Bee shouted.

"Haha! Run? Do you think you can escape?" Otsutsuki Ei's voice rang out.

"Hand over your energy!" Then a thread flew through the air, leaving a bright golden trail.

"Go!" Lei Ying struck out with a palm, while simultaneously keeping his body suspended in mid-air, clearly intending to use his body to block the opponent.

At this moment, the silk thread had already reached him.

"Big brother!" Killer Bee was incredibly conflicted. He knew his brother was right, but! But! How could he run away on his own!

"Hachi!" Killer Bee shouted, transforming into his Eight-Tails form once again.

He roared and tried to rush forward to stop them, but the guardian appeared beside him.

"Where do you want to go?!" The Guardian looked at Killer Bee, and at that moment, the Eight-Tails unleashed its full power and crashed into him.

"Bang!" But to their surprise, the guardian simply raised his hand and blocked their attack.

"They really are inferior creatures, so weak!" the guardian said.

"Big brother! Let's go!" Killer Bee shouted again, but the thread in front of the Raikage was already close to him. His chakra surged out but had no effect. He could only watch as the thread wrapped around his body.

"Haha! What an interesting expression. Don't worry, I will slowly torture you and drag you into my boundless hell!" said Otsutsuki Evil.

"Run, big brother!" Killer Bee shouted again.

"Run? What a lowly creature. I've never seen prey that's been targeted by an adult escape. It's laughable." The guardian said mockingly, blocking the eight-tailed fox in front of him.

At this moment, the threads were already climbing up the Raikage's body along with his chakra. Once the threads touched the Raikage's body, he would instantly lose all ability to resist. Otsutsuki was laughing wildly, while Killer Bee was roaring.

The Raikage's expression had become indifferent.

"Slap!" It sounded like a slap, and everyone was stunned.

"No one escaped? Aren't you being a bit too confident!"

As the smoke dissipated, Kitahara Kaede appeared before the Raikage, still holding the Raikage's grappling hook in his hand.

"Kitahara Kaede!"

"Kitahara Kaede!"

"Strange, inferior creature!"

Everyone's eyes were on Kitahara Kaede in the arena.

"A clone? Or something else?!" Raikage asked hastily.

“It’s the real body!” Kitahara Kaede watched as the other party turned to face Otsutsuki Akatsuki, and with a flick of his wrist, he threw the silk thread back.

"Bang!" Ōtsutsuki caught the thread and his body swayed slightly.

"It's strange that you, a lowly creature, seem to have increased in strength. It seems you have quite a few secrets!" Otsutsuki Akatsuki said, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

"Ah!" Kitahara Kaede stretched and yawned.

"I hope you'll still be this optimistic later." Kitahara Kaede smiled slightly.

"Right! Let's take care of this first; it's getting in the way here," Kitahara Kaede said.

After he finished speaking, his figure seemed to disappear completely.

"bump!"

In an instant, Kitahara Kaede appeared in front of the guardian and, to the guardian's horrified expression, slammed a punch into his waist.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment. The guardian's face was filled with disbelief, his eyes were wide open, and some unknown liquid gushed from his mouth.

At the same time, the recoil generated by the enormous force behind Kitahara Kaede tore the ground behind him, creating terrifying cracks.

The guardian fared even worse; cracks appeared on its body in mid-air, and it tumbled on the ground until it crashed into the mountain behind it, sending plumes of smoke billowing into the sky.

Both the Raikage and Killer Bee looked on in shock at the scene.

Kitahara Kaede looked at Otsutsuki Akatsuki, who was also looking at him with an indescribably solemn expression.

"...So you've fused all your essence, energy, spirit, and order into this one move? I never expected a lowly creature like you to possess such abilities!" Otsutsuki said.

"I didn't expect you to be able to see through it." What seemed like a light strike just now was actually the maximum power that Kitahara Kaede could currently concentrate. If he hadn't been careful, he might not have been able to withstand the terrifying backlash.

The original intention of this attack was to shock the Otsutsuki, but the opponent was able to see through it.

However, the solemn expression on Otsutsuki Akatsuki's face did not change in the slightest, and the fact that he could use such an attack already spoke volumes.

"Now I believe you were the one who killed Jin and the others. If one isn't careful, you could have successfully ambushed them," said Otsutsuki Akatsuki. (Li Zhao)

"A sneak attack? Haha, how laughable. Now you still think the Otsutsuki are so noble and invincible," Kitahara Kaede said, shaking his head.

“Very well! I will use all my strength to kill you. Someone like you is enough to become the core of my hell.” Otsutsuki Akira said, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede shook his head and didn't say anything more to the other party.

The surrounding shadowy figures kept moving and rushed towards Kitahara Kaede's position.

"I was able to break through this with just one of my clones before, do you think this kind of thing can still affect me now?" Kitahara Kaede looked coldly at the shadowy figures patrolling around him.

These shadowy figures carried extremely strong negative emotions, but Kitahara Kaede's clone had already experienced them before. After the clone returned to the main body, the clone's experience was naturally fully integrated into himself. Now, this influence was far less impactful on Kitahara Kaede than the previous shock.

Chapter 610 A Kage-level Rank 8 Arrives

The dark figure rushed up and quickly surrounded Kitahara Kaede completely.

"Bang!!" Kitahara Kaede snapped his fingers, and instantly the surrounding shadows stopped moving, then began to disappear rapidly.

"Saying you've slaughtered so many lives is just a bluff. These shadows contain a considerable amount of power of order, so order against order is the best approach." Kitahara Kaede watched as the energy within Otsutsuki Akatsuki's body continuously poured out, neutralizing the shadows.

"Order, too, has levels!" Otsutsuki E said with a confident expression.

“Yes! Obviously, your order is no match for mine!” Kitahara Kaede said with a smile. Neither of them made a move, but the energy between them caused terrifying spatial ripples around them, with even purple lightning flashing and black tung appearing.

This is a clash of raw power, where no technique matters; the comparison is simply the sum of the masses of the two people's strength.

At the same time, inexplicable distortions of energy began to appear in the surrounding area, the space became somewhat stable, and some spatial dislocations were even visible.

"Big brother! Is this... really that terrifying?!" Killer Bee and Raikage jumped backward one after another, feeling a chill run down their spines as they looked at the space in front of them.

The seemingly calm space is actually rife with undercurrents.

"Let's see what's going on in here!" Killer Bee said, and then threw a kunai in.

"Whoosh!" The kunai flew out, but it seemed to be like mud entering the sea. Its speed suddenly decreased when it entered a certain range. Then, as if it had been impacted, cracks appeared on the top of the kunai.

"Crack!" The kunai shattered, but it didn't just fall to the ground; it shattered and disappeared as if it had never existed.

This caused a chain reaction, and the energy in the place where there was no suffering became much more violent.

"Damn it, is this still a battle between humans?!" The Raikage's face turned extremely ugly, and the terrifying consequences caused by both sides continued to spread far and wide.

"What's going on here!" Just then, a number of people appeared from a distance and landed near Raikage and his group.

"Mizukage? Tsuchikage? And you guys! What are you doing here?" Raikage asked in surprise.

“Of course, it was Kitahara Kaede who called us over!” Mizukage Terumi Mei said.

Behind them stood a figure.

"Kitahara Kaede! You're not!" Raikage exclaimed in surprise, staring at Kitahara Kaede's figure.

"It's a wood clone. When the main body came, I went to the Lightning Ninja Village to repair the spatial array there, and then contacted the others to come over!" Kitahara Kaede said.

His face looked grim as he glanced at the space in front of him.

“The battle between the main body and Otsutsuki Evil is not over yet. This is not good for either side. I think I have to break this balance. However, this is the ninja world. Once the balance here is broken, the extent of the damage is incalculable!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"What should we do!"

"No, this place is too close to the Hidden Lightning Village. If an uncontrollable force were to emerge, the danger would be too great!" The Raikage immediately said, as he was the one most concerned about this matter.

"That's why I called you here!" Kitahara Kaede said.

“We! Okay! What are we here to do?” Raikage immediately said.

“I know that Konoha has a Four Purple Sun Formation that can only be used by four Kage-level rank members,” the Raikage said immediately before Kitahara Kaede could finish speaking.

"I know that. The formation is good. It requires four Hokage-level experts to use, and we have enough here!"

“The Four Purple Sun Formation can’t stop it!” Bei Yuanfeng shook his head and said.

"Such a huge energy conflict is simply not something that the Four Purple Sun Formation can withstand. If the power of four people could stop Otsutsuki Evil, then he would not be a threat to the ninja world."

"What should we do then? Kitahara Kaede, you're not here just to make sarcastic remarks, are you?" Raikage said anxiously.

"Raikage, don't worry. Since Kitahara Kaede is here, he must have a solution, right?" the Mizukage quickly said.

"No rush, why wouldn't I be in a rush? This isn't your Mizunin Village," the Raikage said.

"Alright! We don't have much time to begin with, so let's not waste any more! I have an idea, take a look!" Kitahara Kaede said to the people next to him.

"What's the solution?" The people around immediately stepped forward.

"I have a Five Elements Grand Array here, which requires the four elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth! When used, it is roughly comparable to the Four Purple Yang Array." Before Kitahara Kaede could finish speaking, Raikage interrupted him again.

"Isn't the power of the Four Purple Sun Formation still insufficient?"

"Raikage! I hope you won't interrupt me anymore. I know you're anxious. If you have a solution, then you should handle this. If not, then just listen quietly from the sidelines!" Kitahara Kaede said angrily.

"You!" Lei Ying's face turned ugly, but he swallowed the rest of his words. The others secretly laughed at this, as it was the first time they had seen Lei Ying suffer such a setback.

"You speak, I won't interrupt!" The Raikage said, then stood aside, though his expression remained unpleasant.

"Alright, I'll continue. Although this formation isn't as good as the Four Purple Sun Formation, its advantage lies in its excellent resilience and the fact that it doesn't require such high energy control—even a Shadow-level cultivator can do it!"

Those around Kitahara Kaede were sweating profusely upon hearing his statement. While the control required for a Kage-level being is not high, the fact that everyone present was a Kage-level being meant that this condition was indeed not a requirement.

"Although this formation is not as good as the Four Purple Sun Formation, we can upgrade it. I know that each ninja village has its own protective true form, and the chakra corresponding to you is roughly metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!"

"A fusion formation!" Mei Terumi immediately exclaimed.

“That’s right! It’s a fusion formation. I believe everyone here knows the capabilities of each ninja village’s formation. These powers can be greatly amplified under the formation, which might be able to hold them off!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"The combined power of all the village-protecting formations of the Five Great Shinobi Villages? That must be an incredibly terrifying force! We should be able to hold them off under these circumstances!" Mei Terumi exclaimed immediately, her face beaming with excitement.
