“My lord, we’ve set up a unified transit point for easy travel. As for the medical ninjas nearby, the locations we previously identified weren’t safe. If anyone gets injured, we can treat them immediately,” Zabuza said.

“That would require quite a few tokens!” Kitahara Kaede said.

“Orochimaru provided some, and Konoha provided some; that’s enough for us!” Zabuza said.

"Yes! You should have all received the message, right? How is the situation in the Enchanted Forest now?" Kitahara Kaede asked again.

“Lord Kazekage has already gone there, and ninjas from other places are heading there. The danger level of the Enchanted Forest is much higher than other places, and there is a strange force that has blocked our communication network from extending there. Therefore, we can only get news when the people inside come out,” Zabuza replied.

"Okay! Itachi! Have Itachi come to me, and also have the Kage who's still in the village come here!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"Understood!" Zabuza immediately formed hand seals and launched a Water God.

Kitahara Kaede rushed out quickly, and soon there were several more people in the conference room.

"Kitahara-kun, you're back (bddg). How did it go? Did you find anything else besides the coordinates?" Mizukage asked as soon as he saw Kitahara Kaede.

"Are you feeling any better?" Tsunade asked.

"Don't worry, it's steadily recovering," Kitahara Kaede said with a smile. As he spoke, two more people joined the conference room: Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked at Kitahara Kaede with a hint of fear in his eyes, while Uchiha Itachi stared at Kitahara Kaede intently.

Kitahara Kaede also looked at the other person for a while.

“Your body shows no abnormalities, but the flow of chakra seems to be having some problems. This is the first time I’ve seen something like this,” Itachi Uchiha said.

"It seems your situation is better than I thought, and you still have the energy to observe me with your Sharingan," Kitahara Kaede said, looking at Uchiha Itachi.

"Not good. I didn't expect there were still Otsutsuki you hadn't dealt with. They'll be at that forest in two days at most. Are you in good shape?" Itachi Uchiha asked.

"It's so-so!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"Let's see how you are first!" Kitahara Kaede looked at Uchiha Itachi and tested his own power against him.

Since Itachi Uchiha offered no resistance, Kitahara Kaede easily penetrated his mental energy, only to withdraw it in an instant.

This situation made him extremely nervous. Both of them were suffering from emotional trauma, and if anything unexpected happened, neither of them would be able to escape, and then the ninja world would truly be without hope.

"It's that serious. Your mental energy has been almost completely drained, and it's even left behind damage. Your current recovery ability isn't even enough to fill and repair the damage to your mental space," Kitahara Kaede said.

"It's already a miracle that I was able to wake up," Itachi Uchiha said calmly.

"Orochimaru has no way out?" Kitahara Kaede looked over.

"Kitahara, sir! There's so little material on this. Aside from my reincarnation technique, I haven't designed anything else. I've been researching it for the past two days, but I haven't made any progress. However, I heard before that the Uchiha clan can infuse their eye power into their comrades, so having material on the Uchiha clan might be useful!" Orochimaru said, a speechless expression appearing on his face.

The others looked at Itachi Uchiha with strange expressions. Itachi had personally destroyed his own clan, and now he needed the power of the Sharingan. It was truly a case of karma coming back to bite them!

"Can eye power do it?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“We can give it a try, but right now, apart from Sasuke, no one else has the power of the Sharingan, and Sasuke has already been sent to outer space,” Orochimaru said.

Chapter 636 Uchiha Shin, the Tool

"No! I won't use Sasuke's eye power!" Itachi Uchiha immediately refused. This exchange of eye power would take away some of the other person's things and cause considerable damage to their body. He couldn't bear to see Sasuke get hurt, especially with the threat of the Otsutsuki clan. At this moment, even the slightest impact on combat power could be fatal.

"Don't worry, we don't need Sasuke! We have plenty of Sharingan users!" Kitahara Kaede said, looking at Tsunade.

"You mean, all those before!" Tsunade said.

“That’s right! We originally thought they could properly reform Konoha, but now that such a big problem has arisen in the ninja world, it’s time for them to do their part,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"But they're just children, is that okay?" Tsunade asked, a look of doubt on her face.

"Of course, although they are just children, they are extraordinary. The older ones are already Kage-level!" Kitahara Kaede said. The people around him looked like they didn't understand, so Kitahara Kaede could only repeat the story of Uchiha Shin to them again.

"What! A clone, a clone with the Sharingan? How could Konoha have kept such a big secret from you!" The Mizukage said to Tsunade.

"This seems to be our own business," Tsunade replied.

"So, there were actually survivors from the Uchiha clan back then," Itachi Uchiha said, his eyes filled with shock.

"Don't underestimate those big clans. The Uchiha clan has been in Konoha for so many years, they must have some backup plans. Uchiha Shin is one of them," Tsunade said. She only gradually learned these things after becoming a high-ranking member of Konoha.

"Are there any other people?" Itachi Uchiha immediately asked. Now that the ninja world is peaceful except for the threat of the Otsutsuki clan, he naturally hopes that there are still some clansmen, even those who harbor hatred towards him.

“Uchiha Shin has already taken care of them all. After all, the more people lose, the more problems are likely to arise,” Tsunade replied.

“Is that so! What a pity!” Itachi Uchiha said.

"Alright! I remember leaving spatial coordinates in the village, right? Let them send over a few people so we can give it a try!" Kitahara Kaede said.

Soon, three people cautiously approached, followed by Might Guy. Due to his years of fighting with Kakashi, Guy was quite familiar with the Sharingan and possessed terrifying strength, making him the perfect person to guard these clones of Uchiha Shin.

"Lady Tsunade!" Guy greeted her.

"What are you doing here?" Tsunade and the others asked, looking at the Uchiha Shin with a puzzled expression.

"This is what youth is all about—sports, sweat, isn't this what youth looks like?" Kai exclaimed excitedly.

The Uchiha Shin members behind them were carrying something that looked like exercise equipment, and judging from their appearance, they must have been working out along the way.

"Alright, let's not talk about that now!"

"Itachi! Can you operate it yourself?" Tsunade asked, looking at Itachi Uchiha.

“Sure! But forcibly seizing their eye power wouldn’t be a good thing for them; it could cause them huge damage,” Itachi said.

“I’ll do it!” Kitahara Kaede stepped forward.

These cosmic waves shuddered the moment they saw Kitahara Kaede; clearly, what happened back then still left some shadows on their young minds.

"Here's what happened, let me explain!" Kitahara Kaede explained the situation to the Uchiha Shin.

"That's the situation. I hope you can help me out. Of course, I won't force you, but if you help me, your sins will be wiped clean, and you can then develop normally in Konoha," Kitahara Kaede said.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the three men's eyes changed immediately, showing not only fear but also anticipation.

"Alright!" Kitahara Kaede stepped aside and handed the reins over to Uchiha Itachi.

"Alright, you can relax now. There are a few things you need to be aware of!" Itachi Uchiha reminded them again. It was clear that he cared a lot about the Uchiha clan members, even though they were clones of the Uchiha.

"It's starting!" Uchiha Shin, who made the first move, only had the strength of a Jonin, which made it easier for Uchiha Itachi to control him and prevent any unforeseen events from happening.

Their eyes met.

"Whoosh!" However, in almost an instant, Itachi Uchiha had already looked at the others.

"It has some effect, but the opponent's mental energy doesn't seem to be very pure!" Itachi Uchiha said.

At the same time, Uchiha Shin started rubbing his head, looking irritable, just like a normal person with a headache.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

“It’s alright, these are just Jonin level. There are a few Kage level ones too. Lord Guy, could you please bring all those Kage level ones over here?” Kitahara Kaede said.

Then, Kage-level Uchiha Shin sacrificed his eye power once again.

"Not bad! The recovery is fast. With such eye power, I should be able to repair the mental damage soon, and then I just need to slowly recover my eye power," Uchiha Itachi said.

"The clone of Uchiha has such strength!" The Mizukage, standing to the side, looked at Uchiha Shin with a surprised expression.

When their pupils interacted, everyone present could feel a considerable power emanating from them.

..... ..... 0

In fact, not only the Mizukage, but also the Raikage who was present also looked solemn. This was equivalent to quickly creating a Kage-level army. It had no effect on the Otsutsuki, but it was extremely dangerous for them.

"How is it going!" Kitahara Kaede asked Uchiha Itachi, ignoring what the Kage-level figures thought.

"The situation isn't as good as I thought!" Itachi Uchiha said, frowning. Although they were both Kage-level, the effect of his eye power was gradually weakening and was now almost non-existent.

"And your injuries?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"Thank goodness! Things are starting to get better now. If we encounter an Otsutsuki, we can still put up a fight!" Itachi Uchiha said.

"How much of the Uchiha's eye power could be restored if another Uchiha were to possess it?" Kitahara Kaede asked, recalling that there should still be quite a few Jonin-level Uchiha in Konoha.

Uchiha Itachi shook his head: "The effects they're having on me aren't very noticeable right now; in fact, they're causing more damage. That's just how they are! Oh well, forget it!" Itachi said.

The interaction of his pupil power had allowed him to understand the situation of these people of his kind. Although they appeared powerful, their vitality always seemed somewhat weak. If his calculations were correct, the people here were probably not long-lived.

Seeing Itachi's attitude, Kitahara Kaede could only nod.

"How is the situation in the Enchanted Forest now?" he asked the Raikage beside him, since it was the Raikage of the Lightning Village, who was in charge of the entire situation here.

Chapter 637 Speeding Up

"The situation is not good. Communication inside is completely cut off. According to the few people who came out, there are many animals similar to summoning beasts inside, and they are all very powerful. There are also some dangerous plants with strong toxins. Even if they bring medical ninjas, it is extremely dangerous for them."

"Having received the message you sent, we've sent all our men in, but no one has come out yet," Lei Ying said.

"Hmm!" Kitahara Kaede's face showed a thoughtful expression. Just then, a ninja suddenly rushed in from outside.

"Lord Raikage, something terrible has happened! The summoning beast just sent word that the Otsutsuki clan has suddenly increased their speed. At their current pace, they'll reach their destination in a day at most, maybe even less!" the ninja said hurriedly.

"What!" The Raikage's expression immediately turned ugly. Once the Otsutsuki and his group arrived, it would be a disaster for these people.

"No! We need to get everyone moving faster, or we'll be in big trouble if the Otsutsuki arrive! By the way, could you guys hold off the Otsutsuki for now?" The Raikage looked at Kitahara Kaede and the others.

Kitahara Kaede shook his head: "It seems we don't have much time left. Let's make our final preparations. Lady Tsunade, please take out some of the potions from Orochimaru's side, whatever stage they're at. Even semi-finished products are fine. We don't have time to push things forward now." Kitahara Kaede said.

"Understood. I'll take care of it later, and then vaccinate the prepared people. I'll also take a batch to the Enchanted Forest. If the Otsutsuki really come, we won't be able to worry about that anymore. Everyone will have one." Tsunade said.

"Okay! Let's all be careful. We'll go to the Enchanted Forest later, set for a day from now. If we still haven't found that thing, we'll prepare to face the Otsutsuki head-on!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"Kitahara Kaede, how are you feeling?" Tsunade asked with concern.

"Don't worry!" Kitahara Kaede said to Tsunade, reassuring her.

However, Kitahara Kaede's condition actually made Tsunade's expression become much more serious, clearly indicating that Kitahara Kaede's injuries were not yet severe enough to allow him to easily make a move.

"Itachi! Let's split up and go in together. You have the Sharingan, so you might be able to find things that others can't," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Is Itachi's body alright? Why don't we take advantage of the remaining time to recover? Even if we get to the Otsutsuki clan, we might not be able to find that thing right away," Tsunade said.

She didn't want her main force to be injured before the battle even began.

"Don't worry, as you said, any Kage-level being in that forest will be no problem. With my current strength, dealing with a Kage-level being is no problem at all," Itachi Uchiha replied.

“That’s settled then! Let’s act immediately!” Kitahara Kaede said.

The two went directly to the spatial array next to the village.

"Let's go!" Kitahara Kaede said to Uchiha Itachi, who nodded, and the group's figures vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Why are you here?" Kitahara Kaede asked, looking at Tsunade and Mei Terumi's clones.

“Given the urgency of the situation, how can we, as the Five Kage, cower in the village? Naturally, we’re here to help you share the burden,” Mei Terumi said.

"Don't worry, we've left shadow clones in the village to handle things there. The situation here isn't great either. We'll be outside the forest so we can hold off the Otsutsuki if they come," Tsunade said.

"If you encounter any Otsutsuki, don't fight them. Just come in and find us. If that doesn't work, you can make a big commotion. We'll come over once we know!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"Don't worry, we're not those greenhorns. We know what we're doing!" Tsunade said.

Mei Terumi pursed her lips upon hearing the other person's words: "No, I'm not like you, I'm still young!"

The two immediately started arguing.

Seeing this, Kitahara Kaede shook his head helplessly: "Let's go, one on each side?" Kitahara Kaede said to Uchiha Sasuke.

The other party nodded, and the two of them immediately rushed inside.

This enchanted forest is shrouded in a thin layer of mist all year round, so once you go a certain distance in, you will lose your way.

Uchiha Itachi rushed in, and in just a moment his face became serious, and even the Sharingan appeared in his eyes. Kitahara Kaede on the other side looked similar, his eyes widening noticeably.

however.

"What's going on? This smoke is strange. Itachi and I shouldn't be too far apart, but now our visibility is less than ten meters!" The two thought to themselves simultaneously.

This slowed down their movement considerably.

Kitahara Kaede walked forward. The soil on the ground looked as soft as a sponge, and there were some leaves around. Stepping on it made a squeaking sound.

"Whoosh!" In an instant, a pink thread shot towards Kitahara Kaede from afar.

Kitahara Kaede suddenly grabbed it with his hand, but felt a slippery sensation.

"Whoosh!" The thing retreated rapidly backward.

"Hmph!" Kitahara Kaede snorted coldly, then swung his shuriken out, and a cloud of blood could be seen rolling from a distance.

"Croak!" came a muffled, loud sound.

Kitahara Kaede flashed forward.
