I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"Noble status? Where is it noble? Besides, our Water Ninja Village doesn't have many people to begin with, and we can't withstand such a big storm. It's not a loss for me to exchange myself for 10% of the spots," Mei Terumi said with a smile.

"No! You can't!" Chojuro continued to object.

Chapter 621 What is Otsutsuki doing?

"What! Does my word not carry any weight?" Mei Terumi looked at the other person with a much sterner tone, but this time the other person's eyes were unusually firm.

"Alright! Don't worry, it's just helping with the experiment. With my strength, I won't be in any danger. Besides, I'm a Lava Release ninja, so having a bloodline limit should be of greater value. In this respect, I'm afraid you don't have an advantage over Tsunade!" Mei Terumi said smugly to Tsunade.

"Hmph!" Tsunade simply snorted coldly without saying anything more.

The others looked grim for a long time before saying, "Okay, we agree with what you said! But we can't use a share of 5 or 10, let's take the middle value, 8!" Tsuchikage thought for a moment and said.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you guys can arrange this. I want to get started as soon as possible. Let Orochimaru handle this! Now we need to talk about something else!"

"Something else?" The others' faces regained their seriousness.

“That’s right! The Otsutsuki don’t know what’s going on either. We need a lot of information, and I think everyone will agree to cooperate on this! Also, I hope we can create a giant teleportation scroll to move the battleground between me and the Otsutsuki to outer space!” Kitahara Kaede said, looking over.

“A spatial scroll! We can support that, but Otsutsuki won’t cooperate with us. If he resists, the chance of failure is probably over 80%!” the Raikage said from the side.

“That’s right! So it’s up to you all to come up with a solution. As you all know, the threat posed by my battle with the Otsutsuki is one that the ninja world may not be able to handle!” Kitahara-Feng said.

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. If it were before, they might have thought that Kitahara Kaede was exaggerating, but those who had experienced that battle knew that Kitahara Kaede was simply stating the facts.

"Also, Naruto, Sasuke! After you leave the ninja world, I will give you a coordinate. Itachi went there before, and according to the time, he should have returned long ago, but there has been no news of him. I need you to go and see what's going on there," Kitahara Kaede said.

“No problem, leave it to us!” Naruto immediately expressed his support, and Sasuke, who was standing to the side, also nodded.

"Well! That's all for now. I hope everyone recovers well these next two days!" Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the others.

The others had already accumulated countless questions, mostly about the Otsutsuki clan. It wasn't until half an hour later that Kitahara Kaede walked out of the conference room looking exhausted.

"Are you alright?" Tsunade asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, although my mental strength is somewhat damaged, my physical body is fine!" Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

"..."

the other side.

"My lord! It really is something left behind by some great master! We've really struck gold this time!" The guardian, covered in blood, looked at Otsutsuki Yang with an excited expression.

“Yes! We need to be more careful with our actions from now on. We absolutely cannot let that evil guy find out before the plan is completed,” said Otsutsuki Yang.

"Rest assured, my lord, I have been maintaining a barrier with the other side. Unless they risk damage to their very essence, Buddha will not be able to sense us," the guardian said.

"Hmm! Let's tidy up. The place indicated on this sign shouldn't be too far!" said Otsutsuki Yang.

The guardian raised his hand, and instantly the person next to him flew to his neck. At this moment, the person's face was filled with terror, and his face turned deathly pale.

"Big big, my lord!"

"How far is this place from here?" the guardian asked with a look of disgust on his face.

“Sir, this place is quite far from here. If we were to travel there, it would probably take several months. It’s said to be a terrifying forest that even Jonin haven’t gone to.” The man immediately said.

"Jonin!" Otsutsuki's face showed a disdainful expression. During this period, he had killed many inferior creatures in this world. Those so-called Chunin and Genin were not even trash in his eyes. It was said that there were also Kage-level beings, but he had not seen them yet.

However, based on the previous ninja's Kage-level rating, he's probably trash and not worth worrying about.

“Let’s go! Lead the way!” said Otsutsuki Yang.

The guardians floated in the air, while the guide followed behind them. The guide looked fearful, but not panicked, presumably because he was already familiar with this way of traveling.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

Immediately after they left, many spirit beasts appeared on both sides, including dogs, snakes, frogs, and so on!

"They've left, and they're heading southwest!"

Is there anything about that place that attracts them?

"As far as I know, there's a terrifying forest over there. There are practically no villages, and apart from some natural creatures, there doesn't seem to be anything else around," the dog said.

"Hmph! A filthy place!" the snake said in an unfriendly tone.

"What? You seem to know a bit about this?" the frog asked.

“Some traitors or losers from the groups go there, but there’s been no information about them since they disappeared, so we can’t really say we know anything about them,” the snake said.

..... .... ...

"Never mind, other summoned beasts will naturally relay the message when we get there. Let's send the message back from here!" the dog said before disappearing.

The other animals also disappeared one after another.

At the same time, Kitahara Kaede and his group in the Hidden Lightning Village also learned of the news. Due to the threat from the Otsutsuki clan, everyone was gathered in the Hidden Lightning Village so that they could receive firsthand information at any time and handle any problems that might arise.

"You just said you saw an Otsutsuki with injuries on his body!" Kitahara Kaede said in shock. You see, Kitahara Kaede had always thought he knew all the truth about the ninja world, how the fighting power of the ninja world was generated, and how it developed.

However, something completely outside his comprehension has now appeared, something capable of harming the Otsutsuki.

Kitahara Kaede carefully pondered all the information about the Otsutsuki clan in his mind.

"That's it! Back then, we seemed to have seen some relics left by the Otsutsuki, but there was no special explanation. Could it be those things?"

"Oh no!" Kitahara Kaede exclaimed suddenly.

The shadows beside him were startled by the sudden drop.

"What's wrong! What happened?!" the others immediately asked.

"Have you ever heard of anything that can change time?" Kitahara Kaede asked cautiously, recalling that the Otsutsuki and the others had eventually found something resembling a tortoise.

Chapter 622 Want to remain uninvolved?

Because this thing also involves time travel, a power that even Kitahara Kaede hasn't mastered yet—no! It should be said that Kitahara Kaede has absolutely no understanding of this power.

If the Otsutsuki clan really finds this thing, and it truly functions as it did in the original story, then things will be truly dangerous. Whether I could have handled it back then is another matter entirely.

Most importantly, if the past has truly changed, then what is he now?

"Change time? A space-time ninjutsu?" the Mizukage asked疑惑地.

“This! You Konoha should know more about it, right? Wasn’t that space-time ninjutsu from before one of yours? And I remember the Yellow Flash was also quite good at it!” the Raikage said.

"It's not like the Fourth Hokage's '543' technique. Although it's called a space-time ninjutsu, it's more about space and not time. What I'm talking about is the power to change the past and the future!" Kitahara Kaede said again.

However, the people around him still looked at Kitahara Kaede with obvious doubt.

"That is to say, it can influence the past through methods, whether it's ninjutsu, scrolls, sealing techniques, or tools—it can change what has already happened!" Kitahara Kaede emphasized again.

"How could that be! If such a thing existed, it would cause chaos throughout the world, if it could change the past." Raikage shook his head directly.

"If such a thing really existed, that would be great. I could just go back and tie up Kitahara Kaede and bring him to my own village." Mizukage thought to herself, shaking her head.

“You guys!” Kitahara Kaede looked over and found that everyone was shaking their heads.

"A fluctuation in time?" Orochimaru suddenly spoke, and everyone immediately looked at him.

"You know I used to enjoy doing archaeological work, or collecting experimental materials. I once collected some ancient documents, which seemed to mention that many people had memory problems, and that a country that shouldn't have existed had appeared!" Orochimaru said.

"What document is it! Where did you see it?" Kitahara Kaede immediately asked.

"This is just an essay, which can even be traced back to the era of the Sage of Six Paths. What I saw were just fragments, and it's probably impossible to find anything more related to it," Orochimaru said.

"That! Is that Otsutsuki searching for something that can change time?!" All the Kage immediately looked at Kitahara Kaede.

"Maybe, I'm not sure!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"Kitahara Kaede, where did you get this information? I know we shouldn't doubt you, but this matter is far too important; we need more information," Tsunade asked.

“Yes, Kitahara Kaede, where did you hear about this? I’ve lived for so long, I know most of the village’s documents and secrets, but I’ve never heard of anything like this before!” Tsuchikage immediately replied.

"I don't have a specific source of information, but the possibility of this thing existing is very high," Kitahara Kaede said helplessly.

"If something like that existed, wouldn't the ninja world be in chaos? If it fell into the hands of someone, wouldn't they be able to change the outcome of things at will?" The Raikage's expression turned grim.

Tsunade hesitated. If the past could truly be changed, wouldn't that mean what happened before, that Nawaki?!

"You don't need to worry too much about that. You should know that power doesn't appear or disappear out of thin air. The consumption caused by this kind of power is also extremely terrifying. It's already excessive if it can be activated once every few hundred years," Kitahara Kaede quickly added.

"When was the last time it was used? How do you use this thing?" the others immediately asked.

Kitahara Kaede looked helpless: "How would I know? But it's probably usable now, or at least within the next ten years!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"That's terrible!" Everyone's face showed a solemn expression.

"No! We absolutely cannot let the Otsutsuki get that thing. Putting aside everything else, even if the Otsutsuki only reverses time by a few years, the entire ninja world would probably have no power to resist him!" the Raikage said immediately.

"That's right! Even a few days' setback would be too disadvantageous for us, let alone a few years. If even one more Otsutsuki had been present in the previous battle, none of them would have survived!" the Tsuchikage immediately added.

"This is the most important thing right now. We need more intelligence, including the destination of the Otsutsuki clan," the Mizukage said hurriedly.

He doesn't want to go back to the past. The Hidden Water Village has finally achieved a bright future. If the Otsutsuki can reverse time, will the Hidden Water Village still have a future?

Therefore, the Mizukage is almost the most proactive among all the people.

"Now let's all get moving and summon our respective summoned beasts so they can keep sending messages back!" Mizukage suggested to the people around him.

"Isn't this too frequent? We've been having our summoned beasts do all the work lately, and they're starting to get a little upset," Orochimaru said hesitantly.

"Dissatisfaction? This is a matter for the entire ninja world now. Do you think those summoning beasts can remain unscathed? Tell them that if the Otsutsuki really makes a move, not only will they be wiped out, but their homelands, including the three great holy lands, will also be destroyed!"

"Little girl! Aren't you going too far? What kind of places are the Three Holy Lands? You think you can completely destroy us? You're giving them too much credit!" A white snake emerged from Orochimaru's body and said.

"The White Serpent Cave!" Shuiying looked at the other party.

“That’s right! General Yidianhei, the vanguard general under the White Snake Immortal! 3.6” the White Snake said in human language.

Mizukage looked at Kitahara Kaede. At this point, Kitahara Kaede had to step in, since their words weren't very credible in a place like the White Serpent Cave, and wouldn't attract attention.

Kitahara Kaede's lips curled into a contemptuous smile: "Does the White Serpent Cave really think it's invincible just because it's holed up in its cave?"

"Kid! What are you saying? Believe me or not, I'll eat you!" the white snake said, flicking out its forked tongue.

"He is Lord Kitahara Kaede!" Orochimaru quickly reminded him from the side.

"Kitahara Kaede! My lord!" The white snake was clearly taken aback, then remembered the words the white snake immortal had warned them never to provoke Kitahara Kaede.

"Hmph!" The white snake snorted coldly, but didn't say anything more.

623 Go ask what happened back then.

“Beiyuan Feng, you may not know what the three holy lands represent,” the White Serpent said.

“Of course I know. Mount Myōboku, the language of the Great Horseman, even helped the Sage of Six Paths back then. Shikkotsu Forest, all are filled with enormous toads, which are difficult to kill even with the power of the Sage of Six Paths. The White Serpent East has the White Serpent Sage, who is said to have always been extremely powerful, but never interferes in external affairs. This is the tacit understanding between the three holy lands, right?” Kitahara Kaede looked at the other party.

"Hmph! Since you already know this, why did you agree with what you just said?" the white snake said.

"Oh! By the way, your residence is quite secluded; it's practically impossible to find without using psychic abilities, right?"

"However! What does all this matter? You can survive even if the ninja world is destroyed, fine, but what if this planet collapses!" Kitahara Kaede looked at the other party.

"What! How is that possible!" the white snake exclaimed.

"How could that be! Heh heh I don't believe that there aren't any of your summoning beasts here in the Hidden Lightning Village. You can go and ask what happened before, otherwise what would have happened if 13 had the blessing of everyone here?"

"You can also ask Naruto and Sasuke about that planet that was shattered in outer space. Although it can't compare to the ninja world, it's still about a tenth the size," Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the other person.

"So you still want to stay out of this?" the Water Shadow said at the opportune moment.

The white snake opposite could not be read by its expression, but its forked tongue kept flicking back and forth.

"Wait a moment! Orochimaru will summon Manda in a moment." With that, his body vanished.

"This? Does this mean you've agreed?" the person next to him said with a grim expression.

"Don't worry about it for now. Based on the information we've gathered, these Otsutsuki are definitely looking for something. Can we roughly guess where they're going based on the information?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"The map! Bring the map over!" Lei Ying hurriedly instructed the people on the side.

Then a huge tattered cloth was taken out, covered with many added scribbles and drawings.

"Look, according to the message from the summoning beasts, the Otsutsuki group was originally located here, and then flew in a northwest direction."

"This area is quite long as the crow flies, all the way to the coastline. There aren't many villages here; it's a rather remote place," Lei Ying said, pointing several times.

“We also have this map in our village. There’s a secluded little village around here, and the people there are quite primitive,” Tsuchikage said.

The others quickly added a lot to the map, one by one.

"The difficult part is next: how are we supposed to know the Otsutsuki's purpose from so many places?" someone nearby said.

Kitahara Kaede looked ahead. Although he knew roughly what the ruins that Otsutsuki and his group were looking for looked like, there were only a few dots on the map, so he couldn't make any distinctions. "Okay! We can rule out these places."
