I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

The name Yotsuki Ai is basically exclusive to the Raikage.

Especially after the Hidden Cloud Village obtained the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails, it became a convention for the Raikage to be A.

At least the Third and Fourth Raikage were like this.

"Darui? If that guy had gone with us to the Otsutsuki region, his strength might not be much weaker than Kakashi's now," Kitahara Kaede said after recalling for a moment.

Darui and the Fourth Raikage are actually quite similar. When the previous Kage was still alive, they were both calm and decisive assistants.

But once they become Shadows, they all become hot-tempered, just like those carved from the same mold.

Kitahara Kaede was well aware of this.

As for the assessment of his strength, Kitahara Kaede wasn't just making things up!

Darui was being groomed to be the next Raikage, so he must have mastered the Raikage's signature technique, the Lightning Release Armor.

Moreover, he is also the owner of the Storm Release Kekkei Genkai, and his strength is considered outstanding among young people.

If it weren't for Kitahara Kaede's appearance, Darui would have achieved a good result in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Although there was an element of luck involved in his victory over the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers, his strength was undeniable.

He is at least much stronger than Chojuro.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Chojuro's strength was only at the level of a Jonin, and he was still a bit short of being an elite Jonin.

However, Darui was a genuine elite Jonin at the time.

If Kakashi didn't have the passive ability to "go on equal footing," his performance might not have been much better than Darui's.

“Let’s say hello to Nagato and the others and head straight to Kumogakure. I’m a little curious about how A will deal with Darui,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Darui is the guy who recreated the Third Raikage's unique black lightning, but his strength is absolutely no match for the current Fourth Raikage.

Ai is now one of the strongest among this group of powerful individuals.

As shadows, they start at a higher level than others before even stepping into the order.

“I’ll send a message to Nagato, but I think he probably wouldn’t like to see us dealing with his reorganization of Amegakure.” As Itachi Uchiha spoke, he released a crow.

He had already optimized this method of delivering messages; these crows were excellent at transmitting information and were also highly stealthy.

When they were being hunted down by the Otsutsuki clan, Itachi's crows played a significant role.

After watching the crow fly away, Kitahara Kaede immediately used the power of time to envelop everyone.

"Everyone, pay attention! This is also a power that can be used after becoming a ruler, and it's also a way to utilize the power of time," Kitahara Kaede said.

At this moment, everyone enveloped by the power of time can see that everything outside has slowed down!

Time speeds up!

This is what Kitahara Kaede wanted to show everyone!

The ability to accelerate time is extremely powerful, but it also has a drawback!

That is, the time of users and those experiencing it flows faster than the external world!

If someone who has not reached the Order Realm experiences this power, their lifespan will be rapidly reduced!

Both the power to accelerate time and the power to stop time have this drawback!

As one's own time changes, one's lifespan will naturally be affected!

“Let’s go. By increasing our speed, time outside will slow down. Even if we slowly make our way to Kumogakure, not much time will have passed outside,” Kitahara Kaede said calmly.

This power is nothing to Kitahara Kaede, but it is a terrifying power to others.

"This power... We've experienced over a decade of time here, but your battle with Otsutsuki God King must have far exceeded that time, right?" Itachi Uchiha was still very concerned about the power of time.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

He realized this almost immediately!

Kitahara Kaede neither denied it nor offered any response. But this attitude spoke volumes!

How could Kitahara Kaede have only experienced a dozen or so years in the battle against Otsutsuki God?!

Facing an enemy of equal strength, Kitahara Kaede's power went from unfamiliar to proficient, and the number of times he used it was countless.

Both sides fought under these circumstances. In fact, the battle between Kitahara Kaede and Otsutsuki God King lasted for over a hundred years!

This is still a situation where the forces of both sides are clashing, causing the time acceleration effect to be affected by what we see!

"I thought Kitahara Kaede's personality seemed a bit different from before. So, in their eyes, so much time has passed?" Tsunade's voice trembled.

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

It was only at this moment that she realized how much difficulty Kitahara Kaede had encountered in the previous battle.

Previously, they still harbored a slight resentment towards Kitahara Kaede for having endured over a decade of pursuit.

But now, all those complaints have turned into respect for Kitahara Kaede!

"The power of time is terrifying, both for us and for the ninja world. But the fact that we have Kitahara Kaede is the best news," Kakashi exclaimed sincerely.

"Could this power be used for cultivation?! Oh my god! My youth can't wait any longer!" Kai realized something else...

It must be said that the people of Kai's lineage have an extraordinary keenness in cultivation and hard work.

"Ahem, it can indeed be used in cultivation. For Kai and Lee, this power can certainly make them stronger. However, it's difficult for them to leapfrog major levels in this way."

At this point, Kitahara Kaede could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.

Cultivation is only one part of becoming stronger; combat is the easiest way to break through existing limits.

Breakthroughs during battle were familiar to everyone present, and they understood the significance of battle in becoming stronger!

However, this is not absolute for Guy and Rock Lee, who specialize in physical combat!

Especially considering their Eight Gates technique, which relies heavily on physical strength!

Chapter 768 A Serious Shadow

“If you all want to use the time acceleration ability for cultivation, I don’t mind. But it’s best not to let young people try this power; they’re not strong enough yet,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Everyone can understand what I'm saying.

Not everyone can accept the idea of ​​constantly cultivating oneself in solitude.

In particular, this kind of cultivation might cause young people to directly become middle-aged or elderly people after completing their cultivation...

If you choose to do this but don't break through the level of order, then your life is essentially fast-forwarded.

Not everyone can handle this outcome.

Imagine this: before he began his cultivation, he was full of vigor and ambition; after he emerged, his companions were all children, while he himself had become an old man…

Even the strongest willpower will be shaken in such a situation.

"Six, five, seven" is why Kitahara Kaede said that this kind of power is more suitable for people of Kai's lineage if used for cultivation.

"This is indeed good news for us, but the more this is the case, the more complicated things will become." Itachi Uchiha frowned.

The man himself had a mature air about him, and when he frowned, he looked even older.

"That's true. If Kitahara Kaede can do that, then other beings who reach the level of a ruler can do the same."

Their rate of growth after becoming rulers is only limited by their talent. And would someone who can become a ruler have poor talent? Kakashi was very serious.

This is not an exaggeration; it is very likely to be true!

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. Reaching the Dominator level is not something that can be easily achieved," Kitahara Kaede comforted him.

"Let's go to Kumogakure first. We can discuss these matters during the meeting. It's better to inform them of this information after the break," Tsunade said.

There was a moment of silence as everyone chose their own way to quickly head towards the Cloud Village.

Thanks to Kitahara Kaede's time acceleration effect, they arrived at Kumogakure in almost the blink of an eye.

The scene of the Fourth Raikage beating up Darui in the Cloud Thunder Gorge also appeared before their eyes.

Kitahara Kaede casually deactivated his time acceleration ability, and the group watched the battle ahead while processing their previous insights.

To avoid disturbing the battle ahead, Kitahara Kaede even used his ability to shield everyone's presence.

"Tsk tsk, Darui looks really pathetic," Kakashi said with a gloating tone.

After all, Darui was once considered to be a strong person on the same level as him.

But now, under the Fourth Raikage's attacks, he's like a giant sandbag.

The Fourth Raikage didn't even seem serious; he didn't even activate the Lightning Release Armor of the Cloud Ninja lineage, simply using the power of his body.

Even this level of leniency has put Darui, with his Lightning Release Armor fully activated, at a disadvantage.

"Darui! How dare you do this, you bastard! Didn't anyone try to stop you when you made this decision?!" the Fourth Raikage roared.

As he spoke, he continued to punch Darui in the head, the powerful blows making it impossible for Darui to even stand up...

"Tsk, what decision do you think Darui made to make A so irritable?" Tsunade said with great interest, looking as if she was planning to open the betting pool right away.

"No Raikage without a temper, I thought that was just a joke before." Kakashi smirked. If he hadn't been wearing a mask, this expression would have been seen by others.

"Hehe~" Kitahara Kaede neither confirmed nor denied this.

Kakashi was supposed to be the Sixth Hokage after Tsunade, but who in Naruto actually used Fire Release effectively?

The First Hokage used Wood Release: Bloodline Limit, the Second Hokage used forbidden techniques and Water Release, the Third Hokage used composite ninjutsu, and the Fourth Hokage used Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan...

The Fifth Hokage was Tsunade, skilled in medical ninjutsu and taijutsu...

Kakashi, who should have been the Sixth Hokage, used the Sharingan, but when he wasn't using the Sharingan, he relied more on Lightning Release and Earth Release, and occasionally used sword techniques.

As for Naruto... he's cheating, he plays with the fox...

"How dare you make fun of the Raikage? Putting everything else aside, every Raikage in the family has been a proper Raikage." Kitahara Kaede said in a strange tone.

"Are you saying the Hokage is frivolous?" Tsunade said through gritted teeth.

"Who in Naruto uses Fire Release? If you really have to pick, it's Uchiha Madara who uses Fire Release; that's more like a Hokage, okay?" Kitahara Kaede's tone was a bit irritating.

"As for whether you're proper or not, do you want to tell me quietly?" Kitahara Kaede teased Tsunade, whose face turned red.

"So, it seems like the Kage of the other ninja villages are all pretty proper, while we and the Kazekage are a bit less proper." Guy understood again!

Looking at all the ninja villages, only the Kazekage and Hokage don't use the ninjutsu (遁术) that comes with their names...

The First Kazekage of Sunagakure was skilled in Wind Release, but the Second Kazekage went on to use Puppet Technique.

Although the Magnet Release technique was developed by the Second Kazekage from Shukaku, he himself didn't use it much.

It was only after the Third Kazekage that Magnet Release was used as a means of control.

The Third Kazekage played with iron sand, the Fourth Kazekage played with gold dust, and the Fifth Kazekage played directly with sand...

If we're talking about unconventional Kage, the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind seem to be the most typical examples.

"Kai, it's best to say less at this time!" Kakashi said with a hint of helplessness.

Kakashi didn't have a good solution for his friends either. Guy wasn't stupid, he was just a bit too straightforward.

"It's alright, just chatting. We and the Kazekage don't really use the escaping techniques associated with our names." Tsunade seemed quite nonchalant.

But judging from her tightly clenched fists, you could tell she was just saying it casually.

"When do you think Ai will finally end this battle? This kind of battle is practically child's play," Kitahara Kaede said. 3.6.

As he spoke, he pulled out a camera from somewhere and enthusiastically started taking pictures of Darui.

Darui is the Fifth Raikage, so there are very few opportunities to film him making an embarrassing mistake.

"Fourth Hokage, I'm getting serious!" Darui shouted earnestly.

"Huh? You little brat, were you just brushing me off before?!" The Fourth Raikage grew increasingly agitated.

To be told such things by one's own student is, in his mind, a provocation.

"Storm Release! Inspiring Tsokosu!" Darui shouted the name of his technique while forming hand seals.

Storm Release sounds like it's related to wind-style chakra, but it's actually a bloodline limit created by combining lightning and water chakra!

Chapter 769 The Offbeat Killer Bee

This technique solves the problem that most lightning techniques can only be released in a straight line!

By utilizing the effects of Water Release, Storm Release can make the way Lightning Release deals damage even more unpredictable.
