I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Under this powerful force, the cracks finally began to slowly heal, and the people below breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, this formation still has the ability to recover, otherwise the energy would have reached its limit just now!" Tu Ying said.

"What's so good about it!" Raikage's face was grim, and the others' faces weren't much better either.

“If we were to face an attack of this magnitude a few more times, we might not be able to withstand it. Even if everyone fought desperately, we don’t know how much improvement we would gain. The most worrying thing is that if anything happens to us, the entire ninja world will be exposed to their attacks,” the Mizukage said.

"We can only hope that Kitahara Kaede can eliminate the enemy as soon as possible!" Fengying said.

Everyone sighed. They all knew how terrifying the Otsutsuki were. The two on the field were locked in a stalemate, with no indication of who would win.

"This is infuriating! This formation can only provide passive defense. If only it could help Kitahara Kaede!" Raikage said angrily.

"Help? Don't be ridiculous. All we can do is help them set up the battlefield and prevent the aftermath of this battle from destroying the ninja world. Participate in this battle? Don't even mention you, even if all five Kage came together, they wouldn't be enough to crush the enemy with a single finger," the Mizukage said.

The others looked grim, but they knew that what the Mizukage said was right, and all they could do now was wholeheartedly help both sides stabilize the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Kitahara Kaede casually flicked his hand and the sealing technique Rasengan appeared. Otsutsuki was not to be outdone; with just a flick of his finger, attacks even more terrifying than Tailed Beast Balls poured towards his position.

At this moment, it was impossible to see the exact location of the two people. All that could be seen was the constant interweaving of their figures, with the ground beneath their feet being blasted away, creating numerous sizable craters.

At this point, the battlefield looked like a groundhog colony, full of potholes.

"Accept the judgment from the end of the world!" Otsutsuki Akatsuki flew into the distance, a dark purple energy ball in his hand constantly gathering terrifying energy.

Kitahara Kaede rushed forward, but at that moment a dark shadow suddenly appeared beside him. This shadow was exactly the same as the one that Kitahara Kaede's clones had been destroying.

Kitahara Kaede's face was grim as he looked at his clone. The dark figure had completely vanished, and the wooden clone disappeared at the same time. The enormous energy returned to Kitahara Kaede's body, and he instantly realized what had just happened.

The shadowy figure seemed to have lost all its regenerative abilities, and was completely shattered by his clone, appearing right next to his original form the next moment.

Chapter 614 Terrifying Strength

"Get out of my way!" Kitahara Kaede flicked his wrist, and a spiral shuriken was spinning wildly in his palm. The black shadow blocking his way was pulverized without even a second of resistance.

"Die! You inferior creature!" The energy emanating from Otsutsuki's hand grew increasingly terrifying, and with an arrogant expression on his face, he swung his hand fiercely towards Kitahara Kaede!

An energy ball, barely larger than a palm, pressed down on Kitahara Kaede's position, and the moment it landed, it was as if the entire space was compressed.

Kitahara Kaede's spiral shuriken suddenly multiplied into two, four, eight, and countless others, all hurtling upwards.

"Damn it, everyone stay alert, this attack is going to be terrifying! We have to hold on!" Raikage warned.

"boom!"

The two forces collided, but the expected massive energy did not materialize; in fact, the damage from this attack was far less than that of the previous energy surge.

Energy was constantly dissipating between their hands. At this moment, because their control had reached an unbelievable level, all of Kitahara Kaede's power was flowing upwards, while all of Otsutsuki Akatsuki's power was constantly surging downwards. The energy was clashing rapidly with almost no loss.

"Boom boom boom!" Unlike the calm around them, the scene between Kitahara Kaede and Otsutsuki Akatsuki was completely different. Lightning flashed and thunder roared between them, the space kept exploding, and even a miniature black hole appeared, with energy rapidly dissipating.

"What kind of control is this? Such terrifying energy has not leaked out at all!" a Kage-level expert exclaimed in shock.

The Kage beside him didn't look too good: "Everyone, be careful! If either of them has a problem, this huge energy will break through to the outside, and the impact could be much higher than before!" The Wind Shadow warned, looking around.

Upon hearing Fengying's reminder, everyone became extremely cautious.

"Boom boom boom!" Huge shockwaves continued to emanate, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Now, both of them were in an awkward situation. If either of them made the slightest mistake, they would inevitably suffer an extremely terrifying attack.

If things remain unchanged, the accumulated energy will eventually get out of control, and both of them will suffer.

According to Kitahara Kaede's estimation, the energy between the two of them is now almost equal to the energy of his final battle with Otsutsuki Kin. You have to understand that the enormous energy directly shattered a quarter of the entire planet.

"Damn inferior creature, your filthy and trashy bloodline is no match for me. Give up, death is your only end!" Otsutsuki Akira said to Kitahara Kaede, trying to undermine his confidence with words.

Even the slightest mistake, or even the slightest error the size of a fly's, would instantly engulf Kitahara Kaede with this violent energy.

"I don't think you're up to it. You're coming from top to bottom, and the momentum is still holding. If you keep going for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on. Be careful, this force might tear you to pieces!" Kitahara Kaede said defiantly.

The energy accumulation between the two was gradually accelerating, even exceeding Kitahara Kaede's expectations.

"Zizzizi!"

At this moment, the energy between the two began to show some terrifying reactions. The moment they heard this sound, both Kitahara Kaede and Otsutsuki Akatsuki's expressions changed, indicating that the accumulation of energy had reached the boundary point of mass.

Even at this moment, Kitahara Kaede felt that he was losing control.

Looking at their palms, they turned bluish-purple, and cracks began to appear on them. The blood that had just started to flow was evaporated by the powerful force.

"Oh no!" Their expressions changed simultaneously, and then!

"boom!"

A massive surge of energy erupted, and Kitahara Kaede disregarded everything else, focusing almost all his power on defending against the terrifying impact. The good news was that Otsutsuki Akatsuki was in the same situation.

"They're here!" Raikage said.

The Earth Shadow, with his immense power, charged forward immediately.

"Crack, click, click!"

However, after just one contact, the formation was already covered with dense cracks, as if it would be torn apart at any moment.

Everyone's face was extremely grim. They knew this energy was terrifying, and they had already channeled their chakra to its maximum capacity at the first moment. However, they couldn't even withstand such power for a second!

"Damn it! It's time to fight to the death! The Water Village ninja are going to fight me to the death!" the Mizukage shouted, and instantly clear streams of water appeared around her, while Mei Terumi was shrouded in smoke.

At this moment, she had clearly used some secret techniques. Under normal circumstances, using such techniques would require lying in the village for three days. If any problems arose this time, they could only wait to die.

"Roar!" The enormous water dragon seemed to blot out the sky and surged forward.

However, even such immense power could not stop the speed at which cracks appeared on the sky, only slowing it down slightly.

"Protect the village! I don't need to say anything more, do I?" The Raikage said, his body crackling with lightning. Behind him, Killer Bee had transformed into the Eight-Tails, his chakra reaching a terrifying level.

At the same time, the other ninja villages also made their move. Their powerful forces immediately blocked the energy with the power of the Five Elements Formation, and the sky began to heal. However, the next wave of attacks had already caught up.

"Crack, click, click!"

"Zzzzz!" Powerful forces continued to emerge, and the light curtain in the sky kept switching between cracking and healing (Li Haohao).

Everyone's attention was focused on the sky, and few people paid attention to the situation on the battlefield.

"bump!"

"Block!"

"Block!"

Blood was slowly flowing from the corners of the five Kage's mouths, but they continued to contribute their chakra upwards.

"Bang!" Suddenly, all the energy seemed to disappear. The five shadows, unable to find a way to vent their powerful output, suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Finally, we've stopped them!" This was the thought in everyone's mind. After almost exhausting the power of the entire ninja world, they had finally stopped Kitahara Kaede and Otsutsuki from their battle.

At this moment, everyone looked towards the sky, where they could see the situation on the field. The enormous force had slashed down dozens of feet of land within a ten-mile radius.

Chapter 615 A ​​Miscalculation

It should be noted that this formation not only protects the area above and around, but also the space and the land itself, yet it was still almost shattered.

Kitahara Kaede looked utterly miserable; his clothes, including his underwear, were almost completely gone, and Otsutsuki was in a similar state, with blood continuously dripping from their bodies.

"Inferior creature! Damn inferior creature!" Otsutsuki Akira said angrily to Kitahara Kaede, one of his eyes already closed from the force of the attack.

"Give up! You are no match for me!" Kitahara Kaede was clearly in much better condition than Otsutsuki Akatsuki, so it seemed that Otsutsuki's defeat was inevitable.

"Whoosh!" Otsutsuki's figure suddenly moved, his entire body moving rapidly, his direction clearly towards the guardian who had been almost completely defeated by Kitahara Kaede.

His position was right at the edge of the formation, and much of his power had been blocked by the formation, so he was still alive.

The moment the other party made his move, Kitahara Kaede already knew his thoughts, which were also the thoughts of all Otsutsuki when faced with a life-threatening situation: to devour the guardian to increase their power and recover from their injuries.

But Kitahara Kaede wouldn't give the other party that chance. Although he was a step slower, his condition was better than Otsutsuki Akatsuki's. The moment the other party grabbed the guardian, he delivered a swift chop to the ground.

"Sizzle!" Ōtsutsuki retreated rapidly, blood continuously gushing from his arm.

Otsutsuki E's face was grim, and he immediately placed his hand on it to stop the bleeding.

Otsutsuki possesses the power to fully restore his arm, yet he hasn't done so, which shows just how bad his current condition must be.

"Do you think I'll give you that chance, or do you think I'm unaware of such methods?" Kitahara Kaede said, staring intently at the other party.

"How could that be! Inferior creatures are inferior creatures, you're really confident, aren't you? I know you killed that guy Kim Ho-sun!" Otsutsuki said with a wicked smile.

Seeing the other person's expression, Kitahara Kaede suddenly had a bad feeling. He had been very careful, and he was sure that the other person would not have a chance to absorb the guardian to recover his power, but what was going on with this expression?

"No!" Kitahara Kaede suddenly turned to look at the guardian beside her.

"Damn it!"

The black shadow on the Ōtsutsuki arm that the guardian was holding was gradually enveloping the Ōtsutsuki's body, and it looked like it would soon devour the entire guardian.

"Whoosh!" Without even thinking, Kitahara Kaede threw out a Rasenshuriken.

Unexpectedly, when the shuriken landed there, the guardian lying on the ground suddenly moved. His face was filled with terror, and at the same time, a power that could only be felt from the shadow poured out.

"What a pity! I've always hoped to find a main soul from hell to further enhance my strength. You were the best choice, but unfortunately, your strength is indeed troublesome, so I had to use another main soul. You bastard, do you know how many years I've kept this position for you!" Otsutsuki roared.

He looked both miserable and arrogant.

"Then I'll just take you out first!" Kitahara Kaede had already made up his mind.

"Come!"

Seeing Kitahara Kaede charging towards him, Otsutsuki simply waved his hand in that direction.

A dark figure seemed to traverse space and appeared directly in front of Kitahara Kaede, blocking the path of the Otsutsuki.

"Unite!" Otsutsuki looked at the black shadow in front of him and whispered again. Then, the black shadow changed again and turned into a jet-black armor that covered Otsutsuki's body. Even his severed arm was covered, as if an arm had grown back.

"Die!" Otsutsuki said, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

"Destroy!" Kitahara Kaede simply raised his arm towards the Otsutsuki (bddg).

However, this single word, or rather this single action, caused Otsutsuki to feel a sudden pang of fear.

"Crack!" A noticeable crack appeared on Otsutsuki Akatsuki's body, and a powerful force erupted directly from his body.

For the first time, fear appeared on Otsutsuki Akatsuki's face: "How is this possible! This! This is the God King's method, how could you possibly do this!" He had only ever felt this way with the God King, and only the God King could use such strange methods!

"Pfft!" Kitahara Kaede suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He had only just comprehended this power and was not yet able to adapt to it. He had no choice but to use it now because he was at his wit's end.

He just didn't expect the backlash of this power to be so terrifying. The first time he used it was with his clone, but he didn't expect it to affect his main body. Otherwise, dealing with this Otsutsuki wouldn't have been so troublesome.

The second time, he almost swayed and looked like he was about to fall to the ground.

Otsutsuki was also in bad shape, and he looked at Kitahara Kaede with a look of horror on his face. Even now, he couldn't believe that Kitahara Kaede had such methods.

At this moment, the two of them had already dropped to the level of a Kage. If the power of the Five Kage were to attack them now, neither of them would be able to withstand it. Unfortunately, the Five Kage were now kneeling on the ground, half-dead. If the battle had not been over, they might have even fainted.

"What should we do, sirs!" asked several Kage-level figures in the back.

The sky above seemed to be about to disappear, while the weaker Kage-level warriors on the ground were lying unconscious.

"I don't believe it! You must have used some kind of trick, but I don't believe you have the strength to move after using such a trick. Let me kill you!" Otsutsuki's face was filled with madness as he charged towards Kitahara Kaede.

"Bang bang bang!" This is where the importance of taijutsu comes into play. The two are in similar condition, but Kitahara Kaede's taijutsu is several levels above Otsutsuki Akatsuki's. The opponent's repeated attacks only made him more seriously injured and did nothing else.

"Damn it! Die, die!" Otsutsuki E's face was filled with a crazed expression. He knew that he was no match for Kitahara Kaede in terms of physical strength and skills. At this moment, he suddenly charged forward, and countless cracks appeared on his body the instant he charged.

You could see his blood burning and disappearing, and the armor covering his body suddenly shattered, all of which turned into blood-red energy that rushed towards Kitahara Kaede.

"Bang!" At this moment, a lot of chakra also appeared in Kitahara Kaede's body. This was his hidden hand that he usually kept in various places. It was his shadow clone. It usually did not make any moves and therefore would not affect his strength.

Chapter 616 Pyrrhic Victory

These shadow clones carry very little power, and even dealing with Kage-level opponents would be difficult. They were left behind by Kitahara Kaede for various reasons, but unexpectedly, they have become a lifesaver at this moment.

"boom!"

Kitahara Kaede unleashed a Rasengan with black energy that resembled a tadpole, while terrifying black energy flashed across his opponent's hand.

"boom!"

"How dare you, a lowly creature, defile the noble Otsutsuki! You will surely die!" Otsutsuki's face contorted with rage, and at that moment, everything in his body transformed into energy—exploding violently.

Kitahara Kaede's body was sent flying immediately. At the same time, the sky above was also covered with cracks due to the energy impact and finally could not hold on any longer and shattered with a bang, with huge energy venting outward.

A huge crater was blasted out of an area spanning dozens of miles. What used to be a small forest now looked like the outside of the Sand Village.

"Cough cough!" Kitahara Kaede stood up and looked at Otsutsuki: "Isn't that obvious! No one is immortal, but you'll die first!" After saying that, he looked around and saw many ninjas lying on the ground, their lives unknown, with gusts of wind blowing sand and covering their bodies.

Kitahara Kaede raised his hand to clear away the sand and dust to prevent them from being buried alive, but at that moment a sharp pain shot through his head, and his body was severely overdrawn.

"Ah!" Kitahara Kaede screamed as he clutched his head and collapsed to the ground.

It wasn't until Kitahara Kaede lay on the ground for half a day that some ninjas gradually appeared around her.
