I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

This kind of opportunity doesn't come around all the time.

Chapter 771 The Difference in Strength

"Chongliubao!" Ai shouted in perfect unison. However, this time he didn't just pick a name randomly.

However, the name of this move doesn't match the move itself at all.

The original Heavy Flow Burst technique wasn't actually that complicated; it was simply wrapping Lightning Release chakra around the wrist and then unleashing a super-heavy hand slash!

This move, combined with the Lightning Release Armor, a secret technique passed down in the Hidden Cloud Village, can cause massive explosions and blunt force damage.

But the move Ai is using now looks like he's turned his wrist into a small sun, so bright that Darui has to close his eyes.

The heat from the light caused Darui to feel his body temperature rise rapidly!

This sensation was enough to frighten Darui, but in the end, it was just a casual strike from Ai.

Using this kind of attack against the Otsutsuki clan's pursuers would be nothing short of suicide...

But the power contained in that strike was more than enough to take down a tailed beast.

"It seems that Ai doesn't have any talent for naming things either, otherwise he wouldn't have used the old move name 660 to get by," Kitahara Kaede remarked.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he released his power, significantly reducing the intensity of the light.

Although everyone can clearly see everything happening in the bright light, it doesn't mean they are willing to look directly at it.

Of all the people in this place, only Darui was completely kept in the dark; his strength was insufficient to know what was happening outside.

"Using 'Heavy Stream Burst' is better than something like 'Normal Attack.' I bet A never even thought of giving his attack a name," Kakashi added with a sarcastic remark.

That's the truth. This is only the level of a normal attack from an Order-level powerhouse after they've held back a lot of their strength.

There aren't that many bored people in this world who would give their basic attacks a name.

“But that’s enough to deceive Darui who wants to prove himself. Darui should probably give up thinking about it now,” Tsunade said with a hint of a smile.

"If that's the case, then I feel sorry for the people in the ninja world. They have to pretend that this level of strength is a powerful move..." Itachi Uchiha said with a worried expression.

"Let the people of the ninja world understand that the gap in strength must be addressed step by step, otherwise what if they just give up?" Kitahara Kaede told a lame joke, but this situation is not entirely impossible.

A person's perspective broadens with experience.

It's like only those who lived through the era of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju can truly understand their power.

Otherwise, it would end up like Konoha Village later on, where even the Third Hokage could be called the strongest Hokage...

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't exactly a good person, he still had some sense of shame.

He's not at that level yet to proclaim himself as the strongest Hokage.

Perhaps this is just a rumor spread by some sycophant, but it's also a problem that the old man Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't come forward to clarify.

"It seems there are still many areas in our previous plan that need improvement," Tsunade sighed.

“Then the Raikage and the others must have had someone come up with the idea that led to their current situation, so that person must be someone who knows the truth,” Kakashi said.

“It should be Mabui. She’s the only one in Kumogakure who can gain the trust of A and Killer Bee. Her status is about the same as Shikaku’s in Konoha,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Mabui is probably the highest-ranking person in Kumogakure besides the Raikage.

If Ai and Qirabi are coming back to do something, it makes sense that Mabui must be someone who knows the inside story.

"If you count the time, Mabui is getting old too." Tsunade's expression seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude.

After all, in the ninja world, only Tsunade has managed to maintain her youth forever...

As for Kaguya Otsutsuki, she wasn't exactly a native of the ninja world.

In the ninja world, Tsunade is still the only one who can maintain eternal youth!

"If one can break through to the Order level, one can still slightly change one's appearance. This is not only an improvement in strength, but also a leap in the level of life," Kitahara Kaede said.

Kitahara Kaede didn't tell these people about this because by the time he understood this principle, they were already powerful beings of order.

If life does not undergo a leap, then lifespan will still be very short.

Just like the Sage of Six Paths, whose strength was undoubtedly unmatched, he still died of old age.

Although the difference between a Six Paths level expert and an Order level expert is only one level, the distance between them is actually an insurmountable chasm!

"Won't this performance between A and Killer Bee have any consequences? If it's not real, then there's always a possibility that it will be exposed," Itachi Uchiha said.

His concerns were not entirely unfounded, but they seemed premature for the current state of the ninja world.

If this method of creating a fictional enemy succeeds, then the ninja world will maintain a sense of crisis for at least several decades.

Once the overall strength of the ninja world improves, exploring the universe will become an inevitable choice.

"As long as we act quickly, there won't be any problems later. Once we begin exploring the universe, resources will no longer be an issue," Kitahara Kaede said.

"This choice is essentially a race against time. We need to allow the ninja world to begin exploring the universe before any clues about the fabricated enemy are discovered," Tsunade added.

“It’s not a difficult thing. After all, Six Paths level is enough to explore the universe. When Kaguya Otsutsuki came to the ninja world, she only had this level of strength, and she didn’t even have the strength of Six Paths level.” Kitahara Kaede said after thinking for a moment.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who arrived in the ninja world, was not particularly strong. She truly became a powerful figure after the Divine Tree was planted.

The Sage of Six Paths only reached the Six Paths level after becoming the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails.

Although the Six Paths level is still somewhat insignificant in terms of the Order level, such strength would not be considered weak even on other planets.

There must be groups in the universe that are more powerful than the Otsutsuki clan, but the Otsutsuki clan is still considered a strong force in their respective regions of the universe.

Kitahara Kaede defeated the Otsutsuki God King in an overwhelming manner, so Kitahara Kaede's strength was enough to protect the ninja world for a long time.

Moreover, Kitahara Kaede is constantly getting stronger!

Chapter 772 The Fourth Raikage in a Dire Situation

"Judging from the current situation, Orochimaru's research capabilities still need more support. Science is also a way to strengthen a group," Kitahara Kaede said thoughtfully.

Technology is certainly a promising path, but scientific research cannot rely entirely on the talent of one person.

A genius can bring about a period of technological breakthrough, but it is impossible for just one genius to perfect everything that technology needs.

"We can't give up on enhancing individual strength; it's our only option to increase productivity in the short term," Kitahara Kaede added.

Everyone else was following Kitahara Kaede's line of thought.

A huge explosion was heard in the air!

The "no harm from smoke" principle still applies in the ninja world; after a cloud of smoke cleared, Killer Bee and A were already standing together.

Meanwhile, Darui, who was in the audience, had already fallen into a coma.

The man had also grown a beard, and the style of his beard looked almost exactly the same as Ai's...

“Big brother, Darui is starting to look more and more like you,” Killer Bee said in a strange tone.

"You bastard! Are you thinking something rude?!" A's eyes widened, his arms raised, ready to deliver a powerful punch to Killer Bee at any moment!

“I didn’t say that, I just need to confirm something with you, big brother…” Killer Bee was interrupted by A before he could finish speaking.

"By the way, Darui has already passed out. This time, Mabui's plan went very smoothly." The voice of the Fourth Raikage, A, came from the air.

He was clearly trying to change the subject, since it seemed like there was no other suitable adjective to describe Kirabi's rapping except that it was terrible.

"You damn big brother, don't forget you promised I could hold a concert in the village! You bastard! You idiot!" Killer Bee's clumsy rap came through the air.

He really wanted to hold his own concert in Kumogakure.

More than a decade has passed, and a new generation of young people in the Hidden Cloud Village has grown up! Killer Bee will not allow anyone in the Hidden Cloud Village to have missed his concert!

The brothers' voices interrupted everyone's thoughts.

After all, the idea proposed by Kitahara Kaede is not a solution that can be implemented immediately; it requires everyone's joint efforts to improve.

"Alright, let's discuss this idea at the meeting. The strategists from each village will come over then; it's better than us just thinking about it here," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Shall we go out and see A first?" Kakashi said, suddenly eager to see how A would react when he discovered they had been watching from the sidelines all along.

As comrades-in-arms who have shared life and death for more than a decade, this generation has put aside their past grudges and their feelings for each other have deepened considerably.

The opportunity to see the volatile yet dignified Fourth Raikage, A, acting is rare indeed.

Opportunities to scare the other party are especially rare.

"Aren't you afraid that A will kill you because he lost face?" Tsunade joked.

The fact that the Fourth Raikage, A, was concerned about his image was something they all tacitly acknowledged.

Although Tsunade, as the Hokage, didn't have a good impression of the Hidden Cloud Village, she did know something about the Fourth Raikage, A.

These two people have known each other for a very long time.

The Fourth Raikage received help from Tsunade, and he even bowed his head to her for the sake of his subordinates.

Although Tsunade had no affection for the Fourth Raikage, she acknowledged that A was competent enough as the Fourth Raikage.

"Let's meet them, otherwise it will only make him more embarrassed later when we talk about what happened today," Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

After saying that, Kitahara Kaede released the energy that protected the environment and concealed their existence.

A group of people suddenly appeared in front of the Fourth Raikage, whose pupils dilated instantly.

"You witnessed everything that happened before?" The Fourth Raikage's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes, we saw it all. Kitahara Kaede even helped protect the environment of Cloud Thunder Gorge for you guys," Kakashi said, suppressing a laugh.

Seeing the Fourth Raikage's embarrassed expression as he charged around the battlefield like a tank made him somewhat happy.

"Perfect timing, everyone's here! You must have heard my brother's promise that I could hold a concert in Kumogakure!" Killer Bee shouted excitedly.

Kitahara Kaede nodded with a smile.

He did hear it, and there's no need to deny it.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

“That’s great! With you as witnesses, Big Brother will have no excuse!” Killer Bee said, gesturing with his hands.

Kirabi is serious about his love of rap.

This is the kind of guy who, even in the midst of a life-or-death struggle, still manages to find a moment to write a few lines of poetry.

If this passion had been channeled into other areas, Killer Bee could have achieved similar success, at least surpassing his achievements in rap.

Everyone can testify that Killer Bee has absolutely no talent for rapping.

Even after a lifetime of effort, the vocabulary one can produce is still so poorly written that it's almost unbearable to look at...

"Is the Hidden Cloud Village now able to accept Killer Bee's art form? I still think Killer Bee's rap is a bit too advanced for humans right now," Kitahara Kaede said, suppressing a laugh.

...... ...... 0

This level of backlash and ridicule is nothing to Killer Bee.

But this only applies to those partners who have faced life-or-death crises together.

If a stranger were to make this kind of joke about Kitahara Kaede, Killer Bee would definitely show them what the cruelty of killer bees is.

"Of course not! But I already promised him..." The Fourth Raikage's voice trailed off.

In fact, Killer Bee's rap was quite popular in the Hidden Cloud Village, even though that was more than a decade ago.

However, the Fourth Raikage wouldn't dare gamble that there wouldn't be any Killer Bee fans in the current Hidden Cloud Village...

Killer Bee was undoubtedly a superstar in Kumogakure back then... although being the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki also played a part in that.

However, it is undeniable that Killer Bee is very popular in Kumogakure.

"In that case, let him sing," Itachi Uchiha joked. "Anyway, it's not in Konoha."

"If Killer Bee were to hold a concert in Konoha, I'd personally throw him out," Kitahara Kaede said with a chuckle, though her words carried a hint of cruelty.

Bad rap is bad rap... This is something that most people except for a few in the Hidden Cloud Village would probably agree with.

At least the Fourth Raikage strongly agrees with this statement.

"Damn it! Idiot!" Killer Bee muttered again, he had no intention of disobeying Kitahara Kaede.

Chapter 773 Trade?

"By the way, do you have any other purpose in fooling Darui this time?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

Although Darui's strength is far inferior to that of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, his methods of managing the village are quite similar.

Interestingly, the Cloud Village, which appears to be the most volatile, actually has the fewest rogue ninja.
