I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Kitahara Kaede thought for a moment and said, "It should be a huge mountain that floats in mid-air, much larger than the largest mountain in the ninja world. Their God King lives at the very top, and then they are classified according to their strength!" Kitahara Kaede said.

Shikamaru then asked a few more questions.

"Now that everyone understands the specifics, let's determine the personnel allocation! The requirements are that these people must cooperate well, have no grudges against each other, and cannot be from the same village!" Shikamaru said.

"Can't they be from the same village? Wouldn't it be better if they were from the same village?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.

"But! The ninja world is still unstable right now, and we can't guarantee that Kitahara Kaede and his group will succeed. Nobody knows what we'll face. You guys don't want all the skilled fighters from your villages to leave, do you?" Shikamaru looked over.

The five shadows nodded in agreement.

"Well then! That's what we'll be discussing next!" Shikamaru said, looking at the person next to him, as if he had completely forgotten about Kitahara Kaede.

Watching the heated argument on the field, Kitahara Kaede felt increasingly embarrassed; it seemed as if these people were subconsciously ignoring him.

"Ah! You guys go first, I'll go out and take a look. Remember to let me know if there are any results!" Kitahara Kaede said, dozing off as he walked outside.

"How easy! I wish I had that kind of strength so I could ignore all this!" Shikamaru thought to himself.

Kitahara Kaede stepped out of the tent. Outside, the lights were still on, and a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

"Lord Kitahara!" The people outside immediately came up. These were the security personnel stationed outside, each of whom possessed Kage-level strength.

Chapter 681 Time Vortex

"How's the situation inside? Have the results been released?" the man immediately asked.

"Not yet. The final decision will be made by the Five Kage together, so it will probably take some time," Kitahara Kaede said.

"My lord! Is there anything I can do to help you?" the ninja asked once again.

"No! I'll just take a walk by myself!" Kitahara Kaede said, and his figure immediately disappeared, reappearing on a large tree nearby.

The tree branch was as tall as several people, and it was a rare plant to survive in this area. Kitahara Kaede lay quietly on it, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, feeling a sense of emotion.

He had only wanted to live a peaceful life in this world, but the situation changed every day. At first, things were still under his control, and he had even anticipated the threat from the Otsutsuki.

However, the ancestral land of the Otsutsuki, the god-king of the Otsutsuki—all of this indicates that the information he possesses is becoming increasingly insufficient.

"Sigh! I wonder how long this peaceful life can last!" Kitahara Kaede said with a sigh.

"Whoosh!" Just then, a beam of light flashed by in the distance. Although it had a considerable energy reaction, it only lasted for a very short time. It was estimated that only a few people who had comprehended the Order could sense it.

"Huh? What just happened? Something felt a little strange." Naruto looked outside in confusion.

"That was so strange!" Sasuke was also taken aback, but he quickly became concerned about who had gone out with Kitahara Kaede.

Uchiha Itachi looked outside and asked, "Has something happened again? It seems only those who control the order can make some discoveries. Is it Kitahara Kaede, or...?"

Kitahara Kaede was still lying on the big tree, but at this moment, many memories appeared in his mind, which naturally came from his clone.

Boruto was closely sensing the surroundings next to the pyramid. In a short time, he seemed to have made some kind of connection with the environment. The natural energy around him began to gather, but this gathering did not appear inside Boruto's body. Instead, it rapidly spun around him and began to condense in a special arrangement.

As the power gradually grew stronger, Boruto also felt the terrifying energy. The pyramid in front of him began to show some energy reactions. Most peculiarly, there was a lot of energy in the surrounding soil and rocks. This energy was usually deeply locked in these rocks and did not react at all.

Even Kitahara Kaede didn't notice, but at this moment, it was suddenly aroused.

Instantly, a portal opened up next to Boruto, within which the power of time swirled. Seeing this, Kitahara Kaede's clone jumped in immediately, carrying power almost equal to that of the original.

In an instant, he appeared inside the giant pillar of light, standing opposite Boruto.

"Uncle Kitahara, what's wrong with you?!" Boruto asked in shock.

“Since I’m in trouble over there, my clone can naturally solve a lot of problems!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"That's right! If you can come with me, it's only a matter of time before we can take down the Otsutsuki!" Boruto's face also showed excitement.

But the next moment, the surrounding forces suddenly became violent.

"What's going on!" Kitahara Kaede could feel an extremely disharmonious atmosphere around him, as if his body was being torn apart, and the energy in his body was disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

"Uncle Kitahara! What's wrong with you!" Boruto also sensed Kitahara Kaede's abnormality, but unlike him, there was nothing out of place around him; everything felt natural.

"No! I can feel spacetime rejecting me, and it's constantly erasing me!" Kitahara Kaede's face turned extremely ugly.

"How could this be! What happened, Uncle Kitahara? How can I help you?" Boruto asked in a panic, but he quickly calmed down, and his power began to wrap around Kitahara Kaede's position.

"No! What's going on? You're right next to me, so why can't my power touch you?" Boruto said, looking at Kitahara Kaede's pale face.

“Of course we can’t touch each other. Although you look right in front of me, we are surrounded by the power of time. We are in different time and space!” Kitahara Kaede explained.

"What should we do then!" Boruto asked anxiously.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

"It's nothing. It was just an avatar anyway. It seems I can't help you go over there. However, it would be a pity to let the power slip away like this!"

“In that case!” Kitahara Kaede looked at Boruto and his expression became resolute.

"Kid! Watch closely!" As he spoke, Kitahara Kaede's body suddenly exploded, and at that moment, a starry sky appeared in front of Boruto, constantly spinning.

Boruto's gaze was instantly drawn to it, and he sensed something indescribable from it. However, the starry sky appeared and disappeared just as quickly, vanishing almost instantly.

"This kid's luck is pretty good. I wonder how much you'll be able to grasp," Kitahara Kaede thought to himself as he lay on the tree.

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

"I just didn't expect the power of spacetime to be so terrifying. Even now, I have no ability to resist that repulsive force."

"However, it can also be considered a blessing in disguise, as I have witnessed this power once again!" Kitahara Kaede raised his hand, and a golden Rasengan was spinning continuously in his hand, with a corrosive power slowly emerging on it.

"Crack!" Kitahara Kaede slammed his hand shut, and the Rasengan on it disappeared, leaving a sizable mark on his palm.

"It still doesn't work. It seems I need to spend more time researching this." Kitahara Kaede thought to himself as he looked at his somewhat charred palms. At the same time, his chakra began to flow, and his wounds began to heal visibly.

As darkness fell, Kitahara Kaede looked towards the tent. He could already sense that the atmosphere inside the tent had softened, and the arguing around them had subsided considerably. It seemed that they had reached a conclusion.

"How is it going!" Kitahara Kaede's figure suddenly appeared inside the tent and asked.

"This guy is really convenient. He was nowhere to be seen when we were arguing so heatedly, but he came over as soon as things were resolved," Shikamaru said with displeasure.

Then he raised his hand and said, "This is the list we prepared!" Shikamaru said.

Kitahara Kaede looked at the list, and then his expression suddenly became much more serious. This list was exactly the same as the one Boruto had given him.

Chapter 682 The Unchanged List!

"Is the future truly unchangeable? No! It can definitely be changed!" Kitahara Kaede thought to himself.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Shikamaru asked, noticing Kitahara Kaede's unusual expression.

“Kakashi-sensei is in here, right? But Guy-sensei isn’t. Can we switch them?” Kitahara Kaede said.

“Well! We considered Kakashi-sensei before because he’s well-rounded in all aspects, so he could step in whenever something happens. But if it’s Guy-sensei, he can handle a lot of situations with his taijutsu skills,” Shikamaru analyzed from the side.

"Why did you make this choice?" he asked, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

"It's because of some personal reasons, otherwise, how about adding Mr. Kai? Is that okay?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“In that case, there’s no problem, but the power of the ‘Five-Eight-Seven’ leaves will be weakened a bit,” Shikamaru said.

"That's good, let's decide on this!" Kitahara Kaede said. This is different from the list Boruto gave, Kitahara Kaede thought to himself.

However, what he didn't know was that Boruto shared the same idea and wanted to change the future, so when he announced the list, he deliberately omitted one of Might Guy. Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, the list turned out to be exactly the same as the one in history.

“Okay, when are you ready to leave? We need to prepare some things!” Shikamaru said.

"Of course, I also need to prepare some things during this month, and at the same time, I can give some advice to those who want to comprehend the order. I hope they can gain something during this time!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"Okay! Then there's no problem! By the way, I need three days before you leave, and I need your help. Is that alright?" Shikamaru said.

"? Is there anything else you need my help with?" Kitahara Kaede asked, puzzled.

"Isn't this normal? Only your strength can crush the Otsutsuki!" Shikamaru said with a smile.

“Well, I don’t have anything going on in the ninja world. Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll have my shadow clone follow you. That way, if anything happens, it’ll be easier to handle!” Kitahara Kaede said after thinking for a moment.

"Strength? Shadow clones have many limitations, right?" Shikamaru pondered for a moment and said.

"It's no different from my normal strength, except that my energy is not as good as my original body, and my explosive power is also a bit weaker. However, it's enough to deal with things in the ninja world!" Kitahara Kaede said.

“Alright, perfect timing. I also have some things to test. Naruto and Sasuke can come along later!” Shikamaru said, looking at Naruto and Sasuke beside him. The two of them still looked unhappy, after all, their strength hadn’t even qualified them for something like going to the Otsutsuki ancestral land.

"Alright, alright, you guys can discuss the details. I've been busy all night, I need to get some rest!" Shikamaru yawned as he left the tent, while the five Kage sat at the table, seemingly deep in thought.

"Hmm!" Kitahara Kaede glanced to the side.

"I also have some things to do!" With that, he waved his hand, leaving a Wood Release clone in place, while he himself went outside the tent.

"That brat!" Itachi Uchiha asked Kitahara Kaede from a tree outside.

“He’s back to where he was originally,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"You have a way!" Itachi Uchiha immediately asked.

Kitahara Kaede shook his head: "It's just luck."

"How's our situation this time? You should have received some information, right?" Itachi Uchiha asked again.

Kitahara Kaede remained silent, not daring to say too much about the future for fear of causing unforeseen changes.

"As expected, it was the right decision not to send Sasuke this time," Itachi Uchiha said, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Without further ado, he turned and left.

Still worried, Itachi went to the pyramid location again. This place was the most unique place in the entire Enchanted Forest, and if anything happened, it would definitely happen here.

Unfortunately, everything around him had disappeared due to the previous time-space shift, and he found nothing.

After seeing that everyone had left, Kitahara Kaede drew a circle with his hand, and suddenly a place that looked like a rock cave appeared in front of him.

"Hey Orochimaru, the ninja world is unified now, and no one is going to investigate what happened before. Why are you still in a place like this?" Kitahara Kaede said speechlessly.

“This place has a lot of past achievements, and it’s relatively easy to expand it…” Orochimaru said.

Kitahara Kaede looked around and saw containers filled with White Zetsu, as well as some of the Bloodline Limit users from the slave owner's side.

Compared to White Zetsu, these bloodline limit users are much freer. When they saw Kitahara Kaede coming over, they were still excitedly nodding to him from inside the container.

"However, Kitahara-kun, your method is indeed excellent. With these experimental questions, our progress has been greatly accelerated," Orochimaru said with an excited expression.

Seeing the other person's expression, Kitahara Kaede felt a sense of unease: "Hey Orochimaru, you need to be careful. These people are just like us, humans. You can't treat them as expendable resources or materials!" Kitahara Kaede said emphatically.

"Don't worry!" Orochimaru replied perfunctorily.

Hearing the other party's explanation, Kitahara Kaede's bad feeling intensified: "How many experiments have been conducted so far, and what is the mortality rate?" Kitahara Kaede immediately asked.

"The mortality rate is very low, after all they are ninjas, don't worry!" Orochimaru said.

"The specific numbers!" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"Four died. One more was caused by an accident due to the test subject's panic during the operation," Orochimaru said.

"Four!" Kitahara Kaede pondered for a moment. There were as many as 3.6 people who came back then. If that were the case, Orochimaru would indeed be fine, but he still had a strange feeling in his heart.

"By the way, what was that breakthrough you mentioned in the experiment?" Kitahara Kaede asked quickly.

"This is it!" Orochimaru exclaimed excitedly as he took out a blue potion from his hand.

"This?" Kitahara Kaede looked over with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know how far this power can go, but in my eyes it's already amazing enough. It might even have reached the level of order!" Orochimaru said with an excited expression.

Then he pulled Kitahara Kaede aside, where several silent men were in a nearby house. They were originally rogue ninja from the village, but they were still considered to have some conscience.

Chapter 683 Experimental Subject

Having learned about the Otsutsuki clan and Orochimaru's situation, he came here to become a test subject.

The Five Kage also promised them that as long as they cooperated here, whatever happened afterward would be wiped clean of what they had done before.

"A new test subject?" they said casually, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

These people have been wandering around for many years. Although they know a lot about the ninja world, they do not recognize Kitahara Kaede.

"This is Lord Kitahara. You'd better behave yourselves, or even I can't save you!" Orochimaru said calmly to the people in front of him, his tongue still licking as he spoke.

"Lord Kitahara! Kitahara Kaede?" Kitahara Kaede immediately felt several eyes fixed on him.

"Legend has it that your strength surpasses that of the Five Kage?" someone said, looking at Kitahara Kaede. Then, his body suddenly appeared next to Kitahara Kaede, and the dagger in his hand was already at Kitahara Kaede's neck.

Everyone else was focused on the situation at hand.

"Boom!" The person who rushed over felt his body completely out of control. His body suddenly stopped and then he was slammed to the ground with a thud.

Those standing nearby were all shocked; none of them had seen how the other party made their move.

"It seems you didn't just send me here to check on things, but also to help you solve your problems." A helpless expression appeared on Kitahara Kaede's face.

"After all, they are people from the Five Kage, and each of them is highly skilled. There's nothing I can do about it," Orochimaru said.
