I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Before him stood a gigantic toad, seemingly several people taller than it. Despite how easily Kitahara Kaede had dealt with it earlier, this creature's strength had reached the level of a Jonin.

"It seems this place is more dangerous than I imagined. I've only just entered the forest and I've already encountered a guy like this!"

"Whoosh!" A sound seemed to come from behind. Kitahara Kaede dodged with a quick movement of his feet. At that moment, he saw a pair of fist-sized eyes, followed by a blurry figure.

"Thud!" The toad carcass on the ground was scooped up by that thing. 3.6.

"A chameleon, how strange. I didn't even detect its presence. It was as if it appeared right in front of me." Kitahara Kaede pondered as he watched the chameleon run away.

The smoke drifted slowly around them, and Kitahara Kaede glanced at it.

"There's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time!"

Thinking this, Kitahara Kaede walked forward. The surroundings were too heavily obscured, so he could only explore little by little.

However, Kitahara Kaede did have some impression of the tortoise that Otsutsuki was looking for. It seemed to have a huge pyramid-like structure. So he just looked for any huge buildings nearby and was much faster than the others.

On the other side, the three people from the Water Village looked extremely grim. Behind them were two ninjas, one of whom was a medical ninja from Konoha.

Chapter 638 Lizard

"Damn it, how could we run into something like this!" the ninja from the Water Village said with a grim expression.

"Stop talking nonsense. That thing should still be behind us. We need to get out of here quickly. Besides, Xiaochun and the others can't hold on much longer either," another person said hurriedly.

"What a terrible place! We're strong enough to roam the entire ninja world, but we never expected this forest to be so troublesome!" said the person next to him.

"Pfft!" Then his body seemed to have suffered some kind of severe injury, and even the female ninja behind him fell downwards in an instant.

"Xiao Chun!" The man's expression changed, but his movements were swift.

"Take them away!" With that, he kicked the fallen female ninja away.

"Bang!" Then his body seemed to be hit hard by something and flew away into the distance, and it seemed that something was chasing after him.

"Hold on!" shouted a ninja from the Water Village.

"Go!" A shout seemed to come from over there, followed by the sight of a 13-water dragon rising into the air.

"Boom boom boom!" A huge explosion-like sound came from behind. The remaining two ninjas looked grim, but they still carried one of the unconscious ninjas on their backs and rushed into the distance.

Kitahara Kaede also heard faint sounds coming from afar. Since the forest was mostly inhabited by people from the ninja world, he ran towards that direction.

"Captain! There seems to be someone over there!" a ninja from the Water Village said.

"Great! Now we can call for help. If there are more people, at least there's hope of getting the village out!" The man's face immediately lit up with excitement.

But when the two looked over, their expressions suddenly turned to disappointment: "It's just one person. It seems he's also been through something. Damn it! Well, let's just warn him to be careful!"

"Brother over there, which ninja village are you from? Don't come this way! There's a terrifying monster over there!" the man said.

Upon hearing this, the other party moved closer to their location, and soon they were able to see each other.

"Kita! Lord Kitahara!" The two were stunned for a moment, then their expressions turned to wild joy.

"Great! It's Lord Kitahara! The village is saved!" the two exclaimed excitedly.

"Who are you?" Kitahara Kaede looked at the two people, but he didn't recognize them.

"Sir, we are from the Water Ninja Village. We have seen Lord Kitahara's splendor before! My name is Xiaoming!" the ninja said.

"This is! Konoha's clothes? What happened?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"Sir! Hurry to the camp! There's an invisible monster behind it. The camp is buying us time!" Xiao Ming said immediately.

“Okay!” Kitahara Kaede replied.

"Where are we? Lead the way!" Knowing the urgency of the situation, Kitahara Kaede quickly followed the two and ran inside.

At the same time, he also took out several treatment potions.

"Drink this first. The newly made healing potion has a very good effect on body repair."

"My lord! They have both been poisoned. The medicine is ineffective, and they both look quite unwell."

"Hmph! If we hadn't been poisoned, we wouldn't have been chased so relentlessly by those monsters. We couldn't even unleash 80% of our strength!" Xiao Ming said with a grim expression.

"Poisoned?" Kitahara Kaede searched his body. "Try this! The Raikage and the others obtained some information about Orochimaru's antidote, it should have some effect!" He tossed the potion over.

"Great!" The two quickly fed the medicine to the two who had fainted behind them, and also took some themselves.

"It worked!" The two exchanged a glance, feeling a little relieved. Looking at the two people behind them, their pale faces still looked pale, but the purplish-blue color on them had faded considerably.

"This is a medical ninja from Konoha, right? How could you get poisoned with her around?" Kitahara Kaede asked the two of them, puzzled. Putting aside everything else, a medical ninja should be familiar with things like poisons.

"Oh! It's all our fault. There was a strange red garden there before, and we wanted to go and take a look, but we never expected that the garden contained a deadly toxin."

"Luckily it was this medical girl from Konoha, otherwise we would all have perished inside," Xiaoming explained the situation.

They encountered a lone Konoha girl while exploring, and since their own team didn't have a medical ninja, they went together. When they arrived at that strange place, they continued to explore.

By the time they realized the poison was inhaled, it was too late. Fortunately, the girl was skilled enough to use her chakra to force most of the poison into her own body, which allowed the others to rush out of the flowerbed.

However, it can only be said that they were extremely unlucky. The moment they came out, they were attacked by an invisible monster. Their team originally had nearly ten people, but there was obviously more than one monster next to them.

In their desperate attempt to escape, only a few managed to get out. The Konoha medical ninjas, who were skilled at dealing with poisons, had been fighting all the way and hadn't had time to treat their injuries. They collapsed as soon as they broke through.

After she fainted, the invisible monster attacked again. Fortunately, a girl from the Water Ninja Village helped block it, resulting in both of them barely clinging to life and not far from death.

At first, their strength was enough to fight the monster in the shadows, but as time went by, their strength began to decline and they became increasingly powerless.

That's how the incident just happened.

"Don't worry! Leave the thing in the shadows to me," Kitahara Kaede said.

They quickly returned to the place where the group had been scattered. Looking around, they saw that many of the trees had broken down and there were long marks on the ground.

At the same time, a lot of blood was splattered around.

Seeing this scene, everyone's expression turned serious, indicating that their companion looked to be in grave danger.

"Hold on!" Xiao Ming shouted, but there was no response.

"Something's not right!" Kitahara Kaede looked around and felt that the surrounding environment seemed a bit strange, and he had a feeling of being spied on, but he couldn't tell what it was or where it was.

"What's wrong, Lord Kitahara?" The two quickly looked at Kitahara Kaede.

"Take good care of the patient. You guys carry the load. If anything happens, just focus on yourselves, understand?" Kitahara Kaede reminded them.

"Understood!" The two immediately agreed. They had witnessed Kitahara Kaede's abilities firsthand; he was someone even the Mizukage greatly admired, and they trusted him implicitly.

Chapter 639 It's Too Late

Kitahara Kaede looked around with a serious expression, and at the same time, he made his breathing lighter, adjusting his state.

Since the other party was able to evade his senses, it meant that their strength was not to be underestimated. He should be careful not to be caught off guard.

"Gurgle!" Just then, an unusual sound suddenly appeared. Although the sound was very faint, Kitahara Kaede noticed it immediately and the shuriken in his hand flew out.

In an instant, Kitahara Kaede noticed that the jungle over there seemed somewhat different and had a sense of being off track from its surroundings.

"It really is you!" Kitahara Kaede saw it clearly. This thing looked almost exactly like the chameleon he had just entered, except that it was twice the size.

"Stay!" Kitahara Kaede's figure flashed and he was already around the monster. The monster was also moving extremely fast. In that short time, his body had almost perfectly blended into the surrounding environment once again.

"Come out!" Kitahara Kaede turned around at the spot where the lizard had last disappeared, as if he were shooting a bicycle kick.

"bump!"

The immense force seemed to strike from the air, and instantly a giant lizard's body tumbled backward.

"Lotus Flower!" Kitahara Kaede naturally wouldn't let the other party off so easily. With a flick of his wrist, he spun and smashed it down from the air.

The attack was swift and ruthless, leaving bloody welts on the lizard's body, making his concealment less than perfect.

At the same time, the lizard's mouth moved, which seemed to make him feel nauseous.

Kitahara Kaede's expression also turned somewhat ugly. He hadn't expected that his pure physical strength was much weaker than he had imagined. He had thought that this attack would at least seriously injure his opponent, but now it was clearly only a minor injury.

"Hiss!" The lizard's tongue suddenly shot out and wrapped around Kitahara Kaede's body. Kitahara Kaede stood still and did not move, but he suddenly grabbed the lizard's tongue and then swung the lizard around by the tongue.

"Bang!"

"bump!"

"This! Lord Kitahara is actually so... brave!" Xiaoming said after thinking for a moment.

"Lord Kitahara's methods weren't this fierce before. Did this thing offend him?" The two men couldn't help but feel a chill as they watched the lizard's movements.

"Bang bang!" Kitahara Kaede's hands continued their movements, and the huge tongue was damaged by his force.

"Snap!" It broke violently.

Blood instantly spread in all directions. The lizard felt as if its body was no longer its own. Not only were its movements erratic, but a lot of blood was gushing out from its body.

"Ugh!" Coupled with the intense dizziness, the lizard suddenly vomited.

"what!"

"Damn it!"

Instantly, the two people from the Water Ninja Village looked extremely pale, and tears even welled up in their eyes.

Kitahara Kaede was also radiating a murderous aura.

Among the things the lizard vomited up was a former ninja from the Water Village. His body was tattered, and his internal organs and bones were clearly visible. His skull was also broken, and he was clearly dead.

The lizard seemed to sense Kitahara Kaede's murderous aura, and at that moment it ran towards that direction as if it had no regard for its own life.

"Sir! We can't let it get away!" the two men from the Water Ninja Village shouted, their faces grim.

"Don't worry! It can't escape!" Kitahara Kaede chased after it, and the lizard seemed to sense the threat of death and its speed increased dramatically.

But even so, the distance between Kitahara Kaede and it was constantly shrinking.

Before long, a bright red color appeared over where everyone was standing. As soon as the lizard ran to the side, several monsters of similar size rushed out from both sides.

Several more wounds appeared on the lizard's body, but it still frantically darted towards the garden.

The monster next to it hesitated for a moment after seeing the lizard dart in, but then stopped moving.

The next moment, Kitahara Kaede was already close by.

The monsters from all sides charged forward once again. Kitahara Kaede was now somewhat enraged and naturally wouldn't hold back. With a few shurikens, pools of blood fell to the ground.

Seemingly aware that Kitahara Kaede was not to be trifled with, these monsters quickly disappeared to the side.

"Sir, be careful of those poisonous creatures!" The people from the Water Ninja Village behind them hurriedly warned upon seeing the flowerbed.

Kitahara Kaede, however, had already rushed in.

"bump!"

"boom!"

A moment later, a figure suddenly flew out of the flowerbed, and Kitahara Kaede landed in front of the lizard in the blink of an eye.

"This is yours. I'm sorry, I couldn't save your companion," Kitahara Kaede said apologetically.

He hadn't expected the lizard to move so quickly; they didn't even have time to get there in time.

The lizard lay on the ground, barely breathing, with a hint of pleading in its huge eyes.

"You beast! Die!" Xiaoming watched as the kunai in the lizard's hand plunged down hard. The lizard struggled violently in a final burst of energy, but Xiaoming's hand continued to fall.

This attack didn't involve any chakra; it was just a series of pure physical attacks, as if the lizard was being devoured alive.

"Bang!" The lizard stopped struggling, and there was a lot of blood on the ground. Xiaoming's body was covered in blood, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"My lord, thank you very much!"

"Sir, shouldn't we take some action? Even though we were only inside for a short while, it's still very easy for us to come into contact with the toxins inside," someone nearby reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm immune to all poisons," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Immune to all poisons!" The two were stunned.

"Cough cough!" Just then, the medical ninja behind them coughed a few times. After all, the medical ninja's recovery ability and control over chakra were much stronger than those of ordinary ninjas.

"Where is this? Is it safe?" the female ninja asked groggily.

"Don't worry, Lord Kitahara is here, we're safe!" Xiaoming said immediately. Although the two weren't from the same village, they had saved each other's lives.

"Kitahara? My lord?" The female ninja looked over, still confused.

"My lord! Did you save us? I am Xiaojing! My companions are here too, we got separated!" the female ninja said immediately, and then coughed violently after she finished speaking, as if she had said too much.

"Don't worry, everyone who comes in is a Kage-level ninja. Just be careful and there won't be any problems. If we run into them later, I'll take care of them!" Kitahara Kaede said.
