I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

On the planet of plants, although the light is becoming increasingly dazzling, countless plants can be seen withering. On the planet of animals, there is a frenzied "613" battle, with flesh and blood constantly appearing and disappearing all around.

As the planets shone brighter, the six planets seemed to be connecting together.

"Roar!" At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the planet of those animals, and then an enormous python emerged from it.

This giant serpent was enormous, its body large enough to encircle the entire planet. When its enormous mouth opened, countless lives on the planet were constantly devoured by it.

Soon, this planet was no longer enough for the giant python, and its body raced toward another planet.

But when the giant serpent appeared on another planet, a long, thin tentacle suddenly emerged from beneath the vast expanse of water and reached out to grab the serpent.

"Whoosh!" The python twisted its body and snapped the tentacle in a moment, but the next moment countless tentacles stretched out from the lake.

On this ocean-filled planet, tentacles appeared one after another, and at the same time, the sea level began to drop, revealing a giant octopus that slowly emerged from within.

As soon as the octopus appeared, it immediately began to fight the giant python. Their battle was incredibly primitive, and when there was not much flesh left, the sponge was stained bright red.

Meanwhile, countless unidentified things could be seen surfacing on the water's surface; these things had perished beneath the surface simply due to the aftershocks of the battle between the two.

"What the hell is this?!" Raikage exclaimed in shock as he looked down.

He could sense the giant python's strength; it was a power that was no less than his own.

"Could this place be the Otsutsuki's arena? Is this the tailed beast they're looking for?" Itachi Uchiha wondered.

“It doesn’t seem like it! If it were just something similar to a tailed beast, the Otsutsuki God King wouldn’t need to go to such lengths. At most, this kind of strength would only be able to deal with some experts at the Order level,” Kitahara Kaede said, observing.

In reality, he was also filled with curiosity, so he didn't participate in the battle. He wanted to see what would happen after the battle.

"No! This feels so strange!" Tsunade frowned as she looked at the planet below.

"What's wrong? Did you discover something?" Kitahara Kaede asked immediately. He knew that Tsunade's understanding of order was special, and in some areas she was even more sensitive than him.

"Have you noticed that although these planets look dazzling, their power seems to be constantly disappearing?"

“No! As for the power, although it has weakened, that's because those giant monsters left the planet,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"No, it's more like... how should I put it, it's like my life force has disappeared!" Tsunade said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Kaede looked at those planets and indeed felt that they were all outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!" Kitahara Kaede immediately decided to go inside the planet to find out what had happened.

They landed on a planet full of plants, which seemed relatively peaceful and gave them a sense of security.

But when they actually landed on the planet, everything changed. Although the surrounding area was a lush forest, it felt incredibly eerie.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes watching them from the shadows.

"It's really strange. There's nothing around here, but why do I keep feeling like I'm being coveted?" Raikage was the first to say, unable to bear the feeling any longer.

“Perhaps! Your feeling is right, besides, there's more to our surroundings than nothing,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"You mean!" Lei Ying felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the surrounding trees, and instinctively moved closer to the group.

"This is strange. Why is it so quiet? We've been here for several minutes now, and there's been no danger at all," Itachi Uchiha said, looking around.

He had some guesses about the things around them, but so far they hadn't encountered anything, which made him a little uneasy.

As Kitahara Kaede walked on the planet, he looked around and made some guesses. He originally thought that this planet was special and that the species on it were all plant-like, similar to the Ten-Tails or White Zetsu.

But now, looking around, everything seems much the same as a normal forest.

"Look! Is that corn over there?" Matt Kai asked, looking ahead with a puzzled expression.

"Kai, don't you even recognize corn? Hahaha!" Kakashi said, laughing as he looked at Kai.

"No! Look!" Matt Kai pointed in a direction again.

At this moment, everyone looked over, and their expressions changed instantly. From a distance, it looked extremely similar to corn, but it didn't have long corn stalks. It seemed to be growing directly on the ground. Moreover, judging from the distance, it was quite large, so the size of this corn should be much larger than normal.

"I don't think so. Shouldn't corn grow on corn stalks?"

"Let's go take a look. The energy level over there, 3.6, seems to be much higher than here," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Okay!" The person next to them nodded in agreement. They walked in that direction and soon saw a tall mountain. The mountain was covered with green leaves, and there were many corn plants standing on it.

"So big!" Everyone looked surprised. The size of the corn was far more spectacular than it appeared from a distance, although the surrounding corn already looked as big as their own bodies.

Raikage stepped forward: "This thing really looks like it. I wonder if the inside is similar too."

As he spoke, he walked up to a corn cob and forcefully pulled at the top of the corn.

"Hmm!" In that instant, the Raikage's expression changed. He was no longer as nonchalant as before, and his expression became serious.

Chapter 723 Corn

He raised his palm once again.

"What's wrong, Raikage?" The person next to him also sensed something was wrong and came over to ask.

"This thing! It's so hard to pull out!" Raikage said, increasing his strength as he spoke, and even showing a gritted-teeth expression on his face.

"Raikage, you're going too far. It's just ordinary corn, why is it so hard to pull it out?" Tsunade said.

“Let me handle this. I’m very strong in terms of pure strength!” Might Guy said. As a famous master of physical combat, no one could argue with him.

He walked up with a confident smile, and you could even see a glint of light on his teeth.

"Hmm!" However, he was still stunned for a moment when his arm touched it.

"This is indeed quite difficult! Looks like I'll have to put in more effort!"

"Hmph!" Might Guy snorted coldly, increasing the force in his hand, and you could even see the veins bulging on his palm.

"How is this possible!" Might Guy refused to believe it and kept pushing harder, finally stomping his feet hard on the ground and squatting down, increasing the force in his hands even more.

You can even see that this thing is already a bit bent.

"Hmm!" At this moment, everyone finally believed that this thing was exceptionally tough.

"Is it that difficult?" Tsunade watched Might Guy's actions and walked to the side. There was an ear of corn next to her, similar to the one in Might Guy's hand.

She placed her palm on it, her face showing a serious expression. You know, Tsunade is known for her superhuman strength, and she has her own unique confidence in her power.

"Bang!" The stalk at the bottom of the corn suddenly straightened, and a snapping sound was heard at that moment.

However, it still did not break, and the position of the corn did not change much.

Tsunade gritted her teeth and increased the force in her hands once again.

"How could this be! With that kind of power, even the Ten-Tails would probably be pulled out here!" Gang Shou said in disbelief.

Uchiha Itachi also stepped forward, watching as the long sword in his hand slammed down hard: "Sizzle!" A mark could be seen instantly left on it.

"So sturdy!" Even Itachi Uchiha hadn't expected this thing to be able to withstand the slashing of a long sword. His hands moved quickly, repeatedly striking the same spot, and it took him a full half minute to chop the corn down.

Look again, this corn looks no different from ordinary corn after it falls. But when you peel off the outer skin, you can smell a fresh aroma inside.

"This is... chakra?" Everyone looked over in confusion.

“No! But it should have a power similar to chakra!” Kitahara Kaede walked over, carefully grabbed one of them in his hand, and then put it in his mouth.

"Hmph! I refuse to believe it, this thing is really that hard to pull out!" Might Guy, seeing that Itachi Uchiha had actually managed to pull down an ear of corn, was even more determined to win and said fiercely.

Suddenly, green light flashed on Might Guy's body, and it was clear that he had opened the Eight Gates. Under the effect of the Eight Gates, his strength increased several times, and the corn in his hand snapped open with a crack.

At the very moment Kai used the Eight Gates Shield, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from the surrounding area.

"Haha, I knew it! I was sure I could pull it out!" Might Guy said happily.

"Rumble!" The surroundings suddenly trembled slightly, making people feel a little shake, but no one paid any attention to it, after all, earthquakes were common in the ninja world.

"Look over there!" Kakashi suddenly said.

While everyone else was trying to pull up the corn from the ground, he didn't; instead, he looked around.

"What?" Everyone looked over in confusion, but there was nothing special about it. Kitahara Kaede turned around and instantly appeared next to Kakashi.

"This!" Kitahara Kaede was stunned.

Then Tsunade and the others appeared beside him. Without saying much, everyone had a shocked expression on their face.

In front of them was a cornfield as tall as a small hill. When they were there, they thought it was a hillside, but when they stood at the top of this place, they realized that it was a huge cornfield.

The roots and stems looked as thick as dozens of people could hug.

Not to mention the main body on top, which is big enough for several people to jump and tumble on.

"Did you feel it?" Kitahara Kaede asked suddenly, closing his eyes slightly.

"What?" A look of confusion appeared on Itachi Uchiha's face.

"Are you talking about that immense life force?" Tsunade asked, looking ahead.

"Is this the rule you've comprehended? That's quite peculiar. You're perhaps even more perceptive than I am when it comes to recovery and life-related auras," Kitahara Kaede said, looking at Tsunade beside him.

"Life force? Energy? Are you talking about this thing up ahead?" Itachi Uchiha said. Based on the corn they had just seen, they could deduce that this thing must contain very powerful energy.

“That’s right, the corn I just ate helped me recover my strength faster. I wonder if this huge corn will have any other uses,” Kitahara Kaede said, looking at the giant corn in front of him.

"So that's how it is! This might actually be a treasure! Let's take it down and see who's faster!" Matt Kai said with a smile.

He then charged forward first, and as he did, the surroundings suddenly shook. Then, some vines suddenly flew out from the side, and some corn plants stood upright as if they were human, with huge leaves underneath them. However, these leaves could wave.

"What is that!" Matt Kai's expression changed as the vines clearly aimed to wrap around him.

"Eight Gates Formation, Fourth Gate! Open!" Kai instantly opened all four gates, increasing his speed considerably, and flew directly out of the encirclement of plants.

But as he moved, the surrounding vibrations became even more intense, and more of the corn began to move.

"What's going on? These plants weren't doing anything before, why did they suddenly go berserk? Is it because we're going to attack that giant corn?" Tsunade said.

"Try it and you'll see!" Kakashi rushed forward, but the surrounding plants seemed unresponsive. One plant was less than a meter away from Kakashi, yet it didn't obstruct him at all.

Chapter 724 Plant Instincts

"Kai, I'm here to help you! Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" As a famous copy ninja, Kai is naturally adept at using Fire Release techniques. In addition, with plants all around, Fire Release can at least double its effectiveness.

Unexpectedly, the flames burning on the corn seemed to extinguish quickly as if they had encountered water. At this moment, the corn next to it also started to move again, and huge vines wrapped around Kakashi's body.

Lightning Release: Lightning Blade!

A massive bolt of lightning shot forward, but unexpectedly, two leaves of the plant suddenly blocked it. These leaves were exceptionally large and had astonishing defensive power; they only left a shallow mark under the power of the lightning strike.

"Leaf Whirlwind!" Might Guy's situation was even worse. Because he was not good at ninjutsu, he could only use taijutsu to entangle with his opponent. However, the quantity and quality of these vines were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even if he struck with all his might, he could only leave jagged gashes on the corn, not kill it instantly. Moreover, neither of them knew where the thing's weakness was, coupled with their overwhelming numbers.

"Retreat!" Without saying a word, the two exchanged a glance and quickly dove to the side to cover each other.

"Let's go help!" Tsunade looked around, and more and more corn was starting to move.

"Wait a minute!" Kitahara Kaede grabbed Tsunade.

"What! Didn't you realize? They're in great danger!" Tsunade said anxiously.

"Didn't you notice? These corn cobs aren't even paying attention to us. Instead, they're constantly attacking Kai and Kakashi," Kitahara Kaede said.

“Isn’t it because they got close to that giant corn?” Tsunade said.

"No! If it were because he was close to that side, Kakashi would have been attacked if he rushed over. You all saw just now that Kakashi was so close to that corn and he wasn't attacked!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"It seems he was attacked for the first time when he was fighting with those corn cobs. Does that mean he won't attack the corn unless you attack it first?" Raikage said.

“No! We also attacked those corn plants just now, but they weren’t attacked,” Itachi Uchiha immediately said.

“It’s energy!” Kitahara Kaede immediately said.

"Energy?" Everyone looked at Kitahara Kaede with a puzzled expression.

"That's right! I don't know if you noticed, but these corns attacked Guy because of Guy's Eight Gates. When we dealt with those corns before, we used pure power, but Guy used the Eight Gates."

"Kakashi-sensei was the same. When he rushed over, the corn didn't react, but the moment he used Fire Release, the corn around him seemed to have spotted his target and started attacking!" Kitahara Kaede said.

"How could this be!" Tsunade asked in confusion.

"Perhaps it's because of the plants' instincts! They will choose all kinds of nutrients to grow. Our ninjutsu or chakra techniques will have huge energy reactions, and these reactions will stimulate the surrounding plants," Uchiha Itachi said.

"Would it help if they took back their chakra?" Tsunade asked anxiously, as their situation was becoming increasingly difficult.

“No! Teacher Kai used the Eight Gates Formation before and then withdrew it, but these plants still managed to lock onto him in some special way,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"What can we do? They won't be able to hold out much longer at this rate," Tsunade said.

"Raikage! Me too, and me too!" Kitahara Kaede hurriedly called out to several martial arts masters.

“Our taijutsu is better, so go help Guy and the others. But remember not to use ninjutsu or your internal power. Fight with pure taijutsu. Itachi and Tsunade, you two go over there!” Kitahara Kaede pointed to the giant corn on the other side.
