I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"The good news is that these Otsutsuki don't have spatial abilities; they can only rely on the spatial portals they left behind to speed things up. This way, we can go even faster," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Why don't we go back to the ninja world first, support it, and then deal with things here?" Tsunade immediately suggested.

"No! We can't go back, we need to speed things up!" Itachi Uchiha immediately said.

"Hmm?" The people next to Itachi all looked at it with puzzled expressions.

"I learned something from that person's consciousness. The Otsutsuki God King is in seclusion, and that's why he didn't come to deal with the ninja world this time."

"Therefore, this is the best time for us to make our move. Moreover, once the opponent successfully completes his seclusion, he will likely become the ultimate goal of the Otsutsuki clan. Sage, so our time is running out," Itachi Uchiha said.

"What! Immortals! What kind of realm is that?" someone asked.

"I don't know, but it's said that the Otsutsuki have been pursuing this goal for thousands of years, and Kitahara-kun has also fought against them, so he should know their strength," Uchiha Itachi asked.

“We’re already on par with me. If we were to make another breakthrough, our chances would indeed become very slim,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Damn it!" The others' faces turned extremely ugly. The ninja world was in great crisis, but they could not return. There was no way to have the best of both worlds.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and go! The sooner we get to the ninja world, the safer we'll be..." the Raikage said anxiously.

"Phew!" Kitahara Kaede let out a long breath.

"I'll move out once I've established a spatial array around here. Besides me, Itachi, let's also send a clone back; that would be safer," Kitahara Kaede said.

“No need!” Itachi Uchiha said directly.

"Hmm?" Kitahara Kaede looked at Uchiha Itachi with a puzzled expression.

"Don't worry, don't forget that person!" Itachi Uchiha said.

"that person?"

“Boruto!” Itachi from the Cosmic Wave said.

"Yes! That's right! If he's here, it means that the Otsutsuki clan in the ninja world can be dealt with." Kitahara Kaede breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he then looked around.

"So, after all we've done, nothing has changed?" Kitahara Kaede said, frowning.

"What are you talking about?" The others looked at Kitahara Kaede and Uchiha Itachi with puzzled expressions.

"It's nothing!" Kitahara Kaede immediately replied.

“We obtained some clues before, and based on these clues, we speculate that the strength of the Otsutsuki should be something the ninja world can handle,” Itachi Uchiha immediately said.

From Kitahara Kaede's words, he could guess that the other party did not want to expose Boruto's affairs. After all, the more people who knew about this, the more dangerous it would be for the future.

"Don't hide anything from us. We're all in this together now. If 3.6 has any intelligence, we can help analyze it," Lei Ying said immediately.

“We have indeed obtained some intelligence, but the situation is special, and the fewer people who know about it, the better, so we cannot share it with you,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Is it information that possesses some kind of power, or is it important news?" Kakashi asked.

Kitahara Kaede nodded, and the others pondered for a moment before refraining from asking further questions.

At that moment, Kitahara Kaede pointed his finger, and the massive spaceship vanished without a trace, leaving everyone hovering in the air.

"Where's the spaceship?" Raikage asked, puzzled.

"They've been banished to the void, and it's uncertain whether they'll even reappear in the void's turbulent currents. Even if they do, it could be very soon," Kitahara Kaede said.

Chapter 708 Delivering the Message

He then flew to the side and found a very large meteorite.

“There are no other planets around, only this area. However, the coordinates can't be fixed.” Kitahara Kaede frowned slightly, but time was of the essence, and he couldn't worry about that now.

"Bang bang bang!" Kitahara Kaede's palm landed on the meteorite, and immediately many scrolls next to him emitted bursts of light and mist.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a teleportation array appeared before them.

Kitahara Kaede waved his hands in the void, and a sealing technique suddenly appeared. However, this time it was different from before. Tadpole-like runes spun in the air and merged into the portal in front of him.

The inscriptions around the portal also changed rapidly.

"Bang!" Kitahara Kaede's clone appeared and then plunged straight in.

"Let's go! We need to get to the ancestral land of the Otsutsuki clan as soon as possible." Kitahara Kaede looked at the people around him, turned around, and his figure completely disappeared.

Because of the portal, Kitahara Kaede was incredibly fast, more than ten times faster than they had arrived.

In less than three days, Kitahara Kaede had already appeared on the edge of the moon.

"Who goes there!" Kitahara Kaede landed firmly, and immediately a number of Chunin appeared around him, looking wary.

Not only that, Kitahara Kaede also sensed that there were many people secretly monitoring this area, and even some scientific instruments were working. If someone who didn't know this could kill the ninjas here, they might not understand those instruments.

"Lord Kitahara?" The leader suddenly recognized Kitahara Kaede and immediately said.

"Hmm! Shikamaru, I need to talk to him!" Kitahara Kaede said. Just then, Kitahara Kaede looked up and his expression instantly turned grim. He could feel an energy rapidly approaching from the air.

"How's the defense here?" Kitahara Kaede immediately asked the person in front of him.

"There's a Kage-level expert here, along with over twenty Jonin, and the rest are Chunin like us," the man said anxiously, looking at Kitahara Kaede's face.

"What! Is that all the power you have?! What's wrong with Shikamaru?" Kitahara Kaede said with a grim expression.

"Sir, has something happened?" the man asked hurriedly.

"Summon the Kage-level ninjas here. Quickly gather all the ninjas on the moon. We're going back to the ninja world," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Go back to the Ninja World, but the Alliance Command has ordered us to stay here and monitor whether the Otsutsuki are coming." The person on the other end was clearly taken aback before speaking immediately.

“Let’s get started first, and then I’ll explain what that alliance is. Is the ninja world now under unified command?” Kitahara Kaede asked.

“That’s right. Now, the five great ninja villages have joined forces with other smaller ninja villages to form the Ninja World Alliance Command Center, which will coordinate everyone when dealing with the Otsutsuki.” The man immediately said.

Kitahara Kaede's status in the ninja world was too special, so this person dared not be negligent. He immediately divided his manpower into two groups. One group went to notify the others, while he immediately led Kitahara Kaede towards the command post.

In fact, before they could even rush over, they saw a figure speeding towards them from afar: "Lord Kitahara, it really is you! What happened? What's wrong? Why are you the only one back? Where are the Mizukage and the others?"

The person who arrived was Zabuza from the Water Village.

“It’s just a clone. They’re still heading towards the ancestral land of the Otsutsuki. The situation is dire. Help me contact the ninja world and organize people to return there. We don’t need the things here for now,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Understood!" Zabuza immediately agreed, taking out something that looked like a telephone from his hand.

"I will relay the message back, but there is a certain delay in communication between the two sides. Also, the people here are already gathering and should be ready in about five minutes. Lord Kitahara, is something wrong?" Zabuza asked again.

“The Otsutsuki clan is coming, and there should be quite a few of them. We need to prepare in advance. I already sensed their presence on the way back. They should arrive here within a day at the latest,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Otsutsuki? Are there many people here?" Zabuza asked.

“At least two people have comprehended the order; it’s hard to say about the others at the Kage level,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Is that so? Then why don't you just kill them, Lord Kitahara?" Zabuza said, looking at Kitahara Kaede.

Knowing Kitahara Kaede's strength, Zabuza wasn't in a great hurry.

However, what Kitahara Kaede said the next second made his expression change drastically.

"I only returned as a clone. In order not to affect things over there, this clone only has the power of a Kage-level being," Kitahara Kaede said helplessly.

"What!" Zabuza's expression changed drastically.

"What should we do? Is the current ninja world capable of dealing with the impact of the Otsutsuki?" Zabuza asked, as if seeking answers.

"It should be possible. When I left, the strength of the ninja world had already improved by a level. Moreover, Orochimaru's experiments are still progressing. We'll discuss the specifics when we return to the ninja world!" Kitahara Kaede said.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, Zabuza himself used several clones to act, and in less than five minutes, everyone had gathered in front of the teleportation array.

"Alright, let's go!" Kitahara Kaede led everyone back to the 607 Ninja World.

When he arrived in the ninja world, Shikamaru, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others were already standing in front of him, each with an indescribable solemn expression on their face.

"You're all here?" Kitahara Kaede said, surprised. But it's good that everyone's here; it'll be easier to talk things over.

“Your sudden return must mean something happened, so I brought them all back. Tell me, what exactly happened?” Shikamaru said.

Kitahara Kaede recounted the events surrounding the Otsutsuki clan, and Shikamaru's face grew serious: "How strong are they? Now that you're back, you should have made some preparations!"

Kitahara Kaede shook his head: "Because of what happened over there, the clone I brought back wasn't very strong. I'm just telling you about what happened here."

"Your strength isn't high, but you should still have good judgment, right? Naruto and Sasuke are very strong right now. I don't know exactly what level they are at, but you should be able to tell!" Shikamaru asked.

“Sure, but we need their help to make a rough judgment,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Alright, you also understand the strength of the Otsutsuki clan. Now, go and analyze their strength. Orochimaru hasn't contacted us for a long time; it's time for him to reach out. Hopefully, we'll have some surprises."

Chapter 709 Laying a Trap

“You should go and check on what’s going on over there. You know more about that kind of medicine than we do,” Shikamaru continued.

"Uh! I'm just a clone. I'm going to disappear after delivering the message," Kitahara Kaede said awkwardly.

"The power your clone carries isn't very strong. The ninja world is facing such a serious situation right now, shouldn't you be contributing more?" Shikamaru said unhappily.

“Okay, no problem,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Are Odosan and the others alright? Where are you?" Sasuke asked hurriedly.

"I don't know, but when I came here, they were probably still less than half a month away," Kitahara Kaede said after thinking for a moment.

“Don’t worry about their problems. The important thing now is us. You said that the Otsutsuki clan will arrive here in a day at most. We don’t have much time left,” Shikamaru said.

"We can't let the war spread to the ninja world. We have to fight outside. We've already set up the battlefield outside. Sasuke, it's up to you. Find a way to lure the Otsutsuki clan there."

"Also, notify the Mizukage to prepare for action. There are likely three Order-level experts on the other side, and the rest are Kage-level. We can handle those; you need to take out those Otsutsuki," Shikamaru said.

"You guys?" It was only then that Kitahara Kaede noticed that Shikamaru looked different; he seemed to have reached the Kage level. Looking at the Konoha 12, almost all of them had reached that level.

The most exaggerated one is Rock Lee. At this moment, Lee looks like he has reached the limit of Kage level. His Eight Gates Formation can probably withstand the power of the Seven Gates. If Might Guy knew, he would definitely shout that this is what youth is all about.

"Bang!" Just then, Mei Terumi suddenly appeared next to everyone, and when she saw Kitahara Kaede, she still showed a shocked expression.

"How did you get back? No! It's a clone." Mei Terumi quickly realized.

"Hmm!" Kitahara Kaede looked at Terumi Mei with a shocked expression. The other party now gave him the feeling that she was almost the same as Uchiha Itachi. You have to know that Uchiha Itachi was the first among them to comprehend the order. Besides him, Itachi was the strongest.

"Your strength!" Kitahara Kaede couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's Orochimaru. His medicine has made a breakthrough. My strength is among the strongest in the ninja world, and the fusion of Lava Release can be considered a bloodline limit. It has a miraculous effect after use," Mei Terumi said.

"Is she very strong now?" Shikamaru asked immediately, looking at the two of them.

"Very strong, dealing with the Otsutsuki should be no problem at all," Kitahara Kaede said almost with certainty.

"That's good. Next, Mizukage and Sasuke can deal with the Otsutsuki. As for Naruto, you have many clones, so send out a group of clones to help us deal with the Otsutsuki's clansmen," Shikamaru said.

"What! Why am I dealing with those clans while Sasuke is dealing with the Otsutsuki? Am I weaker than him?!" Naruto said unhappily.

Shikamaru looked helpless, but clearly wasn't going to explain anything further.

"Let's go, let's head over to the battlefield first," Shikamaru said.

Then he casually took out a spatial mark, which was the mark of the fourth generation.

"Bang!" A cloud of smoke appeared, and the surrounding scenery had changed.

"This is... the moon?" Kitahara Kaede looked around and quickly figured out where he was.

"That's right! After all, the destructive power of you people is just too great. If this were in the ninja world, even if we won, it would probably be a catastrophe for the ninja world."

"Alright, now let's see how strong Naruto and Sasuke are. Shun, set up some sealing techniques or something around here. It seems our previous traps weren't prepared well enough!" Shikamaru said.

Kitahara Kaede looked helpless. The other party was really treating him like a laborer, even though he was just a clone.

"I'm leaving this to you. I need to go check on Orochimaru's situation." Shikamaru said, waving his hand, and his figure vanished instantly.

"Hey!" Kitahara Kaede called out, but the other person had already left.

"Is he still like this?" Kitahara Kaede said helplessly.

Naruto nodded quickly: "Exactly. He acts like he's so busy all day, but he always leaves things to us and then does the easiest thing himself."

"That's just like him!" Kitahara Kaede grumbled. Delegating everything to others is his usual way of doing things, but he never expected to experience being told what to do himself.

However, the situation in the ninja world is indeed urgent right now, so it's not appropriate to say much more.

Kitahara Kaede looked around.

The defenses here are quite good. Not only are there many scrolls prepared, concealing powerful ninjutsu, but there are also many mechanical devices. In addition, there is some terrain that is very suitable for ninja battles. It can be seen that Shikamaru really put his heart into it.

However, since the opponent's strength has not yet broken through to the level of order, there are many things they cannot understand. The attacks here are no problem against Kage-level opponents, but once a powerhouse at the level of order appears, everything around here becomes useless.

"Alright, it's right here. You guys do a quick job and let me see," Kitahara Kaede said, pointing to an open space nearby.
