I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

He was also very familiar with the Land of Wind, and he had come here to carry out missions quite a few times.

Also, because of his father, Kakashi had thoroughly investigated the information about the Land of Wind.

The greatest fame of Konoha's White Fang came from the Land of Wind.

Although his reputation during the war only proves that White Fang was a sufficiently excellent executioner, it is one of the few things Kakashi can reminisce about.

"You seem to think of me as a child who doesn't know anything. Of course I know that, but this kind of change isn't something simple." Kitahara Kaede rolled her eyes at Kakashi.

"Almost any powerful being at the Order level can change the environment, but what are the benefits of doing so?" Kitahara Kaede countered.

"Letting powerful individuals at the Order level handle this kind of thing will only waste their time and bring them no other benefits. It's better to train young people to do this kind of thing. This kind of thing is a good training opportunity for young people."

Kitahara Kaede's words convinced Kakashi that there was still some disagreement between pursuing efficiency and cultivating talent.

The efficient approach would naturally be to have the powerful at the Order level take direct action, but this would mean missing an opportunity to hone the skills of younger people.

“If I were the leader of Amegakure, I would cooperate with the Land of Wind. Let both sides start working on the border.” Tsunade said, expressing her thoughts.

There's nothing wrong with this idea, but there's a prerequisite: the two sides must be roughly equal in strength.

If this prerequisite cannot be met, then it may turn into the Land of Wind exploiting the Hidden Rain Village...

Of course, there is another way to achieve this cooperation: the existence of a powerful entity that can suppress all problems.

This powerful figure could be Hashirama Senju from the era when the ninja village was founded, or it could be Kitahara Kaede in the present day.

"This isn't a simple matter. While it's beneficial for Amegakure to do this, it's not exactly urgent," Kitahara Kaede said irritably.

Tsunade's approach was somewhat idealistic, which may be related to her lack of experience as a leader.

If Kitahara Kaede were to choose the best Kage, then any of the other First Kage outside of Konoha would be a good candidate.

But only Tobirama Senju deserves the title of the best!

Tobirama Senju is renowned as a master of forbidden techniques, but he is also a rare genius in handling political affairs.

Konoha's initial stability came from the strength of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, but the subsequent stability of Konoha was all based on the foundation laid by Tobirama Senju.

The Ninja Academy, the Anbu, and the Konoha Guard are probably the best demonstrations of Tobirama Senju's talent in domestic affairs.

The ninja academy shortened the distance between commoners and clans, which largely prevented the phenomenon of clans exploiting commoners.

After all, both sides can become ninjas, and as time goes by, the voice of ordinary people will increase.

The true results of this policy were realized during the time of the Fourth Hokage, when ordinary people had their own Hokage.

Although Minato Namikaze did become a member of the privileged class, he achieved upward mobility as a commoner.

This largely resolved the conflict between the family and the Peace Gate.

The duties of the Anbu and the Konoha Police Force are completely complementary, one dealing with external affairs and the other with internal affairs.

Neither of them has a great reputation, but they are the biggest contributors to the stability of Konoha.

Although the security force is controlled by the Uchiha clan, they actually represent the clan's interests as well...

The Anbu, on the other hand, is a force entirely controlled by the Hokage.

As long as these two factors exist, the balance is difficult to break.

This system was also the cause of the Uchiha clan's tragedy... The security force represented the conflict between the clan and the common people...

This incident fully demonstrates Tobirama Senju's political wisdom.

Once the status between the family and the commoners reaches a certain level, one side will inevitably have to make concessions.

The one who might concede is likely a family... because of the existence of the Dark Side!

But who made that idiot Hiruzen Sarutobi rise to power? He even split up his own ANBU and handed over the task of talent cultivation to others.

There's no better word to describe this than stupid.

"So, we're going to reach a cooperation agreement at the Five Kage Summit in seven days?" Itachi Uchiha guessed again.

This guy has some issues with his personality, but his abilities aren't as bad as you might think.

"The camaraderie forged over a decade has even allowed the Fourth Raikage to temporarily disregard the blood feud between his father and Iwagakure. The time is ripe to establish an alliance," Kitahara Kaede said.

Although if everything proceeds in the normal order, Wuying is still able to work together effectively.

But that cooperation was ultimately due to external forces!

If it weren't for Gaara's speech, such a collaboration would probably have remained a pipe dream.

But when everyone goes through hardships together, the situation changes.

"If possible, (Wang, Li, Zhao) I hope the Five Kage Summit can be a bit more relaxed. It would be too much to ask of me to scheme and fight for interests." Tsunade's words were an attempt to shirk her responsibility.

"Stop joking around. You representing Konoha is the only option. Naruto and Sasuke are strong enough, but they don't have any camaraderie with the other Kage." Kitahara Kaede interrupted Tsunade's attempts to deflect the question.

Simply making excuses would be rather unseemly.

"I know! So can I just make Kakashi the Hokage?! He's a powerful figure in the Order of the Ninja, so it's okay to let him take charge, right?" Tsunade said in a self-deprecating tone.

This idea is quite interesting and also has considerable feasibility.

Kakashi is indeed qualified to be Hokage, not only because of his strength, but also because of his beliefs.

However, Kitahara Kaede didn't think it was appropriate to do so at this time.

Chapter 766 The Future of Young People?

"Lady Tsunade, please stop joking. You're in the prime of your life right now," Kakashi said with a wry smile.

Tsunade is already a powerful being at the Order level, and her lifespan cannot be viewed from the perspective of ordinary people.

Even in the original storyline, Tsunade's strength did not actually decline with age.

Given her current situation, she could potentially remain Hokage for hundreds of years...

"Can't I just quit?! Kakashi, are you weaker than me now?!" Tsunade shouted.

"Weren't we talking about Amegakure? We've arrived, let's put the Hokage issue aside for now." Kitahara Kaede smiled.

This playful atmosphere made him feel a long-lost sense of relaxation.

For the past ten years or so, Kitahara Kaede had been fighting the Otsutsuki God King non-stop, and that kind of tense feeling was not pleasant at all.

"Where are the strong shinobi in Amegakure? Why can't I sense Nagato and Konan's presence?" Itachi Uchiha asked, somewhat puzzled.

Although he is not a ninja specializing in sensory perception, he is already a powerful figure at the Order level.

Even if one's perception is not outstanding, it is still strange that one should not have sensed anything at all.

“It’s impossible for anyone in the ninja world to easily defeat Nagato and the others. I think they might just be out of town,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Kitahara Kaede was confident in Nagato and his group's strength.

The ninja world has finally calmed down, so traveling around is actually a very normal thing.

“That’s true. The Otsutsuki God King is already dead, so the ninja world shouldn’t have any enemies.” Guy’s words now seemed to make some sense.

Guy may look simple-minded, but he's actually quite capable as a Jonin. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen as the team leader Jonin back then.

"But the people of Amegakure don't seem very happy. After more than ten years of development, this place shouldn't be like this," Itachi Uchiha said with some suspicion.

When they set foot in Amegakure, they discovered that the village's situation did not seem optimistic.

The surrounding environment doesn't look like it has been developed for more than a decade; on the contrary, it appears somewhat dilapidated.

Seeing this, Kitahara Kaede couldn't help but suspect that Amegakure might have become nothing more than a garbage dump.

“But those life forces can’t be faked, but they seem to be gathering up ahead. Should we go and take a look?” Tsunade’s expression also turned serious.

Although she is the Hokage, she shouldn't need to worry about the affairs of Amegakure.

However, after learning about the tragedy of Amegakure, Tsunade still felt pity for the place.

Especially after developing a relatively deep bond of camaraderie with her comrades, Tsunade couldn't possibly pretend nothing had happened.

“There’s nothing strange about this place. If there were any enemies, Amegakure wouldn’t be like this,” Kitahara Kaede said.

He wanted to reassure everyone that they weren't too tense, as they had been tense for over a decade, and continuing to be tense at this point was pointless.

Especially since he's right here, even if a guy at the level of Otsutsuki God King suddenly appeared, he wouldn't be a match for him.

At this point, it was unlikely that anything in the ninja world could threaten him.

"Villagers! Lord Angel told us to prepare our opinions on Amegakure. Is everyone ready!?"

Just as Kitahara Kaede and the others were worried, these words reached their ears.

These words eased their tension slightly.

Since Konan has informed the villagers to prepare their opinions, then Amegakure should still be developing normally.

"Ready!"

"Of course I've thought it through!"

A series of echoes followed.

Now everyone's tension has completely disappeared.

It will take Konan and the others longer to return to the ninja world than Kitahara Kaede, and it seems that Konan is just collecting opinions from the villagers.

“We absolutely cannot accept that those guys from the big village (bddg) are using us as their dumping ground!”

The sounds came from the village gathering place once again, and this time Kitahara Kaede was somewhat dissatisfied.

The problems revealed by the villagers of Amegakure are already quite serious.

The great ninja village is demanding that the Rain Village become a dumping ground for garbage? If this happens, the subsequent problems will be very serious.

Nagato and his group have genuine feelings for Amegakure, which means they will inevitably fight for the village's interests.

"Tsk tsk, it seems there have been problems with the development of the ninja world during the more than ten years we were away." Kitahara Kaede's expression turned rather unpleasant.

Development is bound to be accompanied by growing pains, and Kitahara Kaede is well aware of this.

But now the leaders of the ninja world are all comrades-in-arms. The people below have only been without their leadership for a little over ten years, and yet they have become like this.

This means that the first problem the strong ninjas returning to the ninja world will likely face is the internal workings of their own villages.

This is hardly good news.

People come back to relax, not to face immense pressure right away.

In this situation, Kitahara Kaede was at a loss for words.

"It seems that Naruto and the others haven't managed to make the development of the ninja world more reasonable." Kakashi also thought of this.

His tone was somewhat distressed; once something like this happens, it's unlikely to be an isolated incident!

“It shouldn’t be like this. Naruto might be a little naive, but how could Shikaku and the others just watch something like this happen?” Tsunade also expressed her disbelief.

But the facts were undeniable, and she had no reason to deny them.

"Perhaps it's the achievements of our predecessors that make the younger generation want to make some achievements? That's why they chose such an aggressive development approach?" Itachi Uchiha said.

His idea is not impossible; in fact, it is quite possible.

Among the strong young generation, there are also some arrogant individuals.

At least Onoki's granddaughter Kurotsuchi is like that, and Raikage's Darui isn't exactly known for his good temper either.

It's not hard to believe that young people, without the guidance of their elders, might be a little reckless.

"Now that you mention it, I'm starting to worry about the younger generation. Everyone's back." Kitahara Kaede's lips twitched slightly.

He had worried about Chojuro's unreliability before, and now it seems that the first thing they need to do after everyone returns is to reclaim the power of the ninja village.

"Perhaps all the major ninja villages are now staging a long-lost, strict classroom session?" Tsunade understood Kitahara Kaede's thoughts.

This situation is truly pitiful.

Chapter 767 Time Acceleration

After all, not everyone can roam the ninja world like Kitahara Kaede and his friends.

Kitahara Kaede and his group didn't rush back to Konoha because they had faith in Naruto and his friends.

People with personalities like Onoki and the Fourth Raikage are probably already in the village.

"There's a possibility of going straight to class, but it's unlikely. No one would make a fuss about something they don't understand," Kitahara Kaede said.

"I suddenly feel like going to check on the situation in Kumogakure. Given A's personality, he might be beating up Darui right now?" Tsunade's lips twitched.
