Sasuke and Naruto remained motionless, their eyes closed, suspended in the void, while Kitahara Kaede stood guard beside them.
On the other side, the Otsutsuki clan was in front of the spatial teleportation portal. They had just sensed a huge energy and seen the phantom of the God King appear in the air.
This phantom looked exactly like the God King, with only one difference from the surrounding Otsutsuki: the pair of bull horns on his head that looked like they were made of blood. At this moment, the God King's expression was very ugly, and his eyes were fixed on the spatial portal.
"Your Majesty, what has happened?" a female Otsutsuki asked cautiously from below.
"I never expected that a lowly creature from a remote place would comprehend such power. Let's prepare ourselves; it's been a long time since our Otsutsuki clan has acted as a group!"
"What!" The people around him were all shocked. They knew that the Otsutsuki clan was the most powerful being in the entire universe. Usually, when they went to conquer the world, they would only send out a team of a few people. Now, they were going to send out the entire clan?
"By the way, bring all the fruits of those divine trees. Perhaps, the time has come!" the God-King said again.
"Yes!" the Ōtsutsuki below replied instinctively, then a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face. "Is the God King about to reach godhood?!"
"Perhaps, but there's someone of similar strength in that remote place. How can a god walk the same path as another? Therefore, I must eliminate him!" the God-King said. 570
"Yes! The Otsutsuki clan will mobilize the entire clan to ensure that Lord God-King successfully becomes a god!" said the female Otsutsuki below.
There was no response, but a grim expression appeared on the face of the female Ōtsutsuki below.
"I need to know which starry sky lies behind this portal, and who went there to carry out the mission! Also, it's time to gather all the subordinate races together; they've been lingering on for so many years!"
"Understood, Lord Zi!" Several guardians beside him immediately responded and rushed off into the distance.
On the other side, Kitahara Kaede watched as Sasuke and the others made no move. Even the surrounding meteorite's rotation and anything that might affect the two of them were cleared away by Kitahara Kaede.
"Hiss!" Naruto reacted first, covering his forehead with a headache.
More distinct marks appeared on his Nine-Tailed Fox battle suit, and at that moment, the Sage of Six Paths' Truth-Seeking Ball suddenly appeared behind him.
On the other side, Sasuke Uchiha also woke up shortly afterward. His eyes had completely transformed into the Rinnegan, and not only that, but a unique aura emanated from the Rinnegan.
"Congratulations! You've actually turned misfortune into a blessing and comprehended a portion of the Order. At this rate, you'll be able to stabilize at this new level in just a few more days!" Kitahara Kaede said.
Chapter 669, A Lucky Enlightenment
He was also envious. He had fought to the death and gone through several cycles to comprehend this power, while these two had gained some understanding simply by experiencing the aftermath of his battle with the other, and had even touched the edge of order. It was truly enviable.
However, this situation cannot be replicated. First, he fought against the God King of the Otsutsuki from a distance. Although their power was great, there was an unknown space difference between them. The impact of their fight was countless times smaller than normal, giving them a quiet space to comprehend.
Secondly, the opponent initially did not know Kitahara Kaede's strength and was only thinking about repairing the spatial array as quickly as possible, with the energy gradually increasing. This was like the opponent writing out every step in detail before the two of them when doing a problem.
"I feel like I'm invincible right now!" Naruto said, looking at his palm.
“Yes! In this state, I can do many things that I couldn’t do before, and…” Sasuke looked around.
"This world seems to have changed a bit!" Most importantly, when he looked at Kitahara Kaede, he saw the situation that Uchiha Itachi had described. Kitahara Kaede's soul really seemed to be different from theirs.
"Haha! It's still a long way off, but in this state, dealing with ordinary Otsutsuki is no problem at all, which is a good thing!"
"You two still need to consolidate the power you've comprehended. There's nothing else here, let's go back to the ninja world!" Kitahara Kaede said to the two of them.
"Okay!" The two readily agreed. They came here to prevent any unexpected events from happening on the Otsutsuki side. Now that Kitahara Kaede said everything was fine here, it must be fine.
"Let's go, we left some coordinates along the way, we should be able to get back soon!" Sasuke took out the mark on his hand.
"Hmm! He's really meticulous. It seems he discovered the flaw of the space kunai when he came out. It didn't have any flaws when we were in the ninja world, but after coming out, the increased distance led to increased energy consumption. Placing multiple marks is indeed a good solution."
but!
"No need, I'll take you back!" Kitahara Kaede said.
He placed his hands on Sasuke and Naruto's shoulders, and instantly, powerful chakra surged from his body, causing the surrounding scenery to change rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, they had already appeared in the ninja world.
"this!"
"What's going on?" Naruto and Sasuke immediately assumed a defensive posture upon seeing their surroundings, their expressions growing increasingly serious.
"Uh!" Kitahara Kaede stood to the side, feeling a little embarrassed. Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to tell the two of them about the situation in the ninja world.
"Well! Although I did defeat the Otsutsuki, I went through some things. In short, although the situation in the ninja world is stable now, almost everyone with high-level combat power is injured." Kitahara Kaede explained simply.
“That’s right! You can feel that there are many wounded people over there, and their strength is very powerful.” Naruto said, pointing to the tents over there.
“That’s right! It’s the Five Kage, and some other Kage-level figures. They look quite comical right now. Want to take a look?” Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.
"Whoosh!"
"You're back!" Itachi Uchiha appeared in front of the two.
"Yes! Old man, I'm so glad you're alright," Sasuke said happily.
"Sasuke, you!" Itachi Uchiha's face was filled with shock, because he felt a familiar aura from Sasuke, and with the Rinnegan that Sasuke revealed, it was clear that Sasuke had already comprehended the Order.
Uchiha Itachi looked at Kitahara Kaede to the side.
"They were very lucky. I had a brief exchange with the Otsutsuki God King from a distance before, and thus comprehended the power of order," Kitahara Kaede said simply.
"Otsutsuki God King! He's coming!" Itachi Uchiha immediately asked.
"Whoosh! What's going on?" Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha rushed over. They hadn't paid much attention when they saw it was Kitahara Kaede and the others, but now that they heard about the Otsutsuki, they quickly showed up.
“No, he should be in the ancestral land of the Otsutsuki clan. We exchanged blows remotely and neither side gained the upper hand,” Kitahara Kaede said.
"Is the Otsutsuki God King that powerful?" Itachi Uchiha asked, frowning.
"He's probably even more formidable than we thought. He didn't know I was there at first, and we have the home advantage here, which is why he couldn't defeat me," Kitahara Kaede said.
"Does that mean we don't have many chances?" Itachi Uchiha's expression became much more serious.
"It's not as pessimistic as you think. The Otsutsuki and the others are still far away from us. Even with the help of space-time ninjutsu, it will take them several months to get here. We have plenty of time," Kitahara Kaede said with a smile, giving everyone confidence.
"Is that so!" Itachi Uchiha looked at Kaede Kitahara without saying a word.
"What a troublesome fellow. It seems he's already figured something out. No wonder he's so adept at understanding human nature." Kitahara Kaede glanced at Itachi but didn't say anything more.
"Roar!" Just as they were speaking, another huge roar came from the other side. Kitahara Kaede and the others looked over and saw that many animals were walking over from all around the camp.
These animals did not appear to be arriving in an organized manner, but rather in groups. Among them, the most eye-catching were a ferocious tiger and a monkey holding a shuriken.
This monkey looked exceptionally special, its golden fur making it appear as if gold was glued to its body. Behind it was a group of monkeys, each holding a spear, looking like wild men.
"Huh? This!" Itachi Uchiha looked ahead and saw a fierce-looking lone wolf with a shuriken mark above its eye.
"Why are all these animals out here?" Naruto looked at the ferocious beasts outside with a puzzled expression.
"They don't seem to have any good intentions," Sasuke remarked.
Kitahara Kaede frowned: "We warned them before, so why are they still here?"
"Roar!" The tiger let out a huge roar, and the surrounding animals also roared in response, then charged towards the camp.
"Hmm!" Kitahara Kaede formed hand seals, and several shadow clones appeared, rushing directly towards the ferocious beasts.
The others looked on with curiosity.
Chapter 670 Could it be!
These ferocious beasts would be difficult for even a Kage-level opponent to deal with, but Kitahara Kaede handled them with ease, even flipping them over with just a flick of his finger.
"I told you all not to come here. Even if you don't understand, you know I'm not someone to mess with!" Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the ferocious beasts.
He believed that the strength he had just displayed was enough to make these ferocious beasts wary.
However, there is always a gap between reality and imagination.
The tiger continued to roar as it charged forward, its eyes bloodshot, as if it would not give up until it achieved its goal.
"Hmm?" Kitahara Kaede's face finally showed a look of curiosity. This ferocious beast was fighting desperately. These things wouldn't do this unless there were special circumstances.
Looking around, all the other ferocious beasts looked the same.
"Could it be that I'm being manipulated?" Kitahara Kaede thought to himself, his eyes slightly closed as his powerful senses spread out.
"No! No one is controlling it, otherwise it wouldn't be able to evade my senses." Kitahara Kaede looked over again, filled with curiosity.
"Hmm?" This time he finally noticed something was wrong. Although the wolf's gaze was terrifying, it shouldn't be this greenish gaze. It looked like it hadn't eaten in a long time.
"Could it be?" Kitahara Kaede pondered for a moment, then looked to the side.
His figure changed again, and several more clones appeared.
"Bang!" A scroll appeared in Kitahara Kaede's hand, and after a puff of smoke, some food appeared on the ground, which they had carried from various villages.
The tiger's fierce expression intensified, and then it pounced, devouring the food on the ground.
Kitahara Kaede took a step back, and the animals beside her rushed over and began to devour the food on the ground. Moreover, judging from their appearance, they had forgotten their surroundings and were no longer cautiously guarding against the risks.
"What's going on?" Sasuke and the others walked over and looked ahead in confusion. These things had been so fierce before, how come they look so docile now?
Even as Naruto walked over, the ferocious white tiger in front of him actually lay down on the ground, exposing its belly, looking quite ingratiating.
"Huh! Is this still the same ferocious tiger from before?!" Kitahara Kaede stared speechlessly ahead.
"It must be because my battle with the Otsutsuki destroyed the Enchanted Forest too much. These things that survived are all quite strong, but there's nothing left for them to eat, so they rushed over to attack us."
"Awooo!" Just then, a gray figure suddenly rushed towards Uchiha Itachi, and then bit down hard on Itachi's body.
"Bang!" Susanoo appeared out of thin air and knocked the lone wolf away. The lone wolf looked at Uchiha Itachi with a fierce expression on its face, its sharp claws scratching the ground, as if it wanted to fight Itachi to the death.
"And this is it again?" Kitahara Kaede looked over. These animals, having obtained enough food, had hardly attacked the ninjas nearby, except for this lone wolf, which was somewhat different.
"I wiped out his clan before because of some things, but I didn't expect him to hold a grudge," Itachi said nonchalantly.
"Uh!" The others looked at Itachi Uchiha awkwardly without saying anything more.
In the following days, the place became lively. Many Kage-level warriors began to recover, and other villages gradually resumed operation. There were still many people outside the Enchanted Forest, some of whom were preparing to live here, and others were sent by the villages to rebuild this land.
Some stayed because of the ferocious beasts in this place. Although these beasts are not spirit beasts, they are much stronger than spirit beasts, and they have already developed basic command abilities and do not refuse to contact humans.
Many people hope to sign a spiritual contract with these ferocious beasts!
The various Kage-level figures have now returned to the village, where there are more instruments to help them recover faster. In addition, a significant number of them have returned to Orochimaru's research institute to study the effects and side effects of the gene serum.
Kitahara Kaede was also extremely concerned about these studies, so the main body and the other party returned to the research institute.
The surroundings gradually returned to calm. If there was anything not calm, it was that every village was busy with its own affairs. All the Jonin had taken over the village's daily operations, with the Chunin assisting them.
Those with Kage-level strength secretly gathered together, fighting every day to prepare for developing their skills.
Even higher up, there were those wrapped in numerous bandages, standing in front of Kitahara Kaede's clones, with Sasuke and the others beside them, as they comprehended the power of order.
The power of the Five Kage has already broken through to the level of order. Although their battle with the Otsutsuki clan was a near-death experience, it has greatly improved them.
"What you're saying is too profound. Could you demonstrate it for us so we can better understand it?" Mizukage said to Kitahara Kaede.
"Alright! However, you must remember that everyone's order is different, so what I have is just power. What you need to find is the feeling within that power, the unique understanding that belongs only to you!"
After speaking, Kitahara Kaede raised his hand, and the Rasengan began to gradually take shape in his hand.
"Look, this is normal chakra evolution, you should all understand it! It's just that the internal structure of matter is being concentrated!"
The Rasengan changed again very quickly: "This is the effect of compression reaching a qualitative change!" Kitahara Kaede said again, and a Rasenshuriken appeared in his hand.
"After that! Simple physical compression will no longer be effective. In this situation, the control over the ninja has become extremely difficult. Some of you here cannot even reach this level. This is what you need to strengthen from now on!"
"After that! This is order, a mysterious and unpredictable power formed by adding your will and spirit to it, increasing the nature of chakra, and increasing the power of control!" As Kitahara Kaede spoke, the Rasengan in his hand instantly turned into a golden color.
"This!" The people around looked at the changing Rasengan in front of them, and several of them showed thoughtful expressions, while most of them were still puzzled.
Chapter 671 Boruto
"Alright! Too many demonstrations like this will only have an unnecessary impact on you, so the next demonstration will be in ten days!" Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the people in front of him.
"Oh dear!" Immediately, many people pounded their chests and stamped their feet, their faces showing regret.
Kitahara Kaede didn't say much. Comprehending the power of order requires both strength and comprehension. These people's strength has reached a critical point, but no one can help them with the comprehension.
"Is there still no news from the Tsuchikage?" Kitahara Kaede asked, looking at a Jonin beside him.
"No! It's still the same as before, neither worsening nor improving," said the ninja beside him.
After this battle, almost everyone received a significant boost, or died on the battlefield. Only the Tsuchikage, whose body was already extremely old, swallowed an excessive dose of gene serum and, in the end, squeezed out all his strength to save his fallen comrade.
After they recovered, Kitahara Kaede immediately treated the Tsuchikage, but there was no improvement. He then went to the Tsuchikage's medical clinic for a diagnosis, but it was still ineffective.
In the end, these people had no other choice but to turn to Orochimaru for help. To this day, the Tsuchikage remains asleep.
Just then, a huge burst of energy suddenly emanated from afar, and there was something strange within that energy.
"What's wrong?" Mizukage was the first to notice Kitahara Kaede's odd behavior and immediately asked.
Upon hearing this, the others immediately looked over, Kitahara Kaede's face showing a puzzled expression.
"I don't know. There was a huge energy reaction in the Enchanted Forest, and it also felt strangely familiar. It's really weird."
