I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"Let's talk less, we have a lot of important things to do right now," Kitahara Kaede sighed.

Chapter 785 The Tsuchikage's House

It's normal that Onoki's house wasn't stocked with anything, since Onoki himself was somewhat indifferent to worldly desires.

Onoki listened quietly as Tsunade explained the outline of the plan to him, nodding occasionally.

He didn't seem to have many opinions; on the contrary, he seemed very cooperative, which made A and Tsunade feel a little uncomfortable.

Ohnoki is the kind of guy who will argue even if someone makes a valid point.

At this point, the teamwork always made people wonder if Onoki had been replaced.

"The plan itself isn't too problematic, except for the part about using illusion magic to make the entire village leave..."

If that's the case, why not just let them believe they've already fought a great battle within the illusion?

After all, for ordinary people, it's impossible to defend against Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu.

Furthermore, if I were to pretend to be a powerful enemy to steal the village, wouldn't it be ridiculous to leave no one alive?

Onoki shared his thoughts, which was a good question, one that even Tsunade hadn't figured out.

"I don't intend to kill anyone, but not killing anyone does make things less real. Since we're going to use illusion magic, why not just use it to the fullest extent?" Onoki was a little confused.

"Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu is already the strongest in the ninja world. If he says that his genjutsu might be seen through, he's probably just being modest," Kakashi said with a teasing smile.

Yes, since we've decided to use illusion magic, why not just use it all the way through?

Itachi Uchiha and the others were hunted by the Otsutsuki for over a decade, so creating a villain through genjutsu would have been more than enough for them.

"If we use illusion magic directly, can we use the name of the Sage of Six Paths to make everyone feel like they're dreaming?"

Kitahara Kaede said.

It made everyone feel like they had a dream about the "future," in which they met a villain and knew what the villain was going to do.

In this way, the effect might be better when the villain actually "appears".

Kitahara Kaede thought that if the illusion was too contrived, people would naturally doubt it, but people would always believe the answer they arrived at after "thinking".

In this way, the problem will not arise.

This approach, however, makes the previously discussed conclusion seem somewhat like a minor joke.

“This seems like a good idea. It shouldn’t be difficult for someone like the Sage of Six Paths to make everyone have a precognitive dream, right?” Onoki nodded in agreement.

Compared to directly using illusions to control others and then stealing the village, the later plan was more feasible.

"If possible, I would like to make the ninja villages pay a price, because only real sacrifices can perpetuate hatred," A said with a gloomy face.

He genuinely believed that an "enemy" had to do something bad in order to gain everyone's attention.

If a villain appears but doesn't harm a single person from beginning to end, then that villain's stance is somewhat untenable.

"Who to sacrifice? No one has the right to decide such a thing except the person involved. This is something only the Third Hokage could do," Onoki said, rolling his eyes.

It is absurd and ridiculous to exchange the sacrifices of others for one's own benefit.

"Alright, stop saying that, and don't even think about doing it. Onoki, even without using Dust Release, your strength is unstoppable in the current ninja world. If you're willing to play the villain, we'll all cover for you!" A said.

"Why don't you play the villain? Although your fighting style is ninjutsu, you are still unstoppable in the ninja world when you only use taijutsu," Onoki said irritably.

Anyone who has ever ventured into outer space can play this villain very well.

The crux of the problem actually lies in the issue of the victims.

"Why not just capture an Otsutsuki? The Otsutsuki clan hasn't been completely wiped out yet, has it? Capture one and let him run rampant in the ninja world."

Then, as long as we appear at the right time to solve the problem, wouldn't we achieve the same goal?

Tsunade said.

She couldn't stand this topic. Sacrifice? Whose life could be sacrificed?

As a doctor, Tsunade couldn't convince herself to accept such a practice that required sacrificing lives, even if Kitahara Kaede could revive the dead.

Death may be a relief in some situations, but more often it only brings suffering.

This so-called sacrifice is something Tsunade cannot accept at all.

"Let's stick with the precognitive dream method. Itachi won't feel any psychological pressure doing this. It's something we have to do."

"Itachi, first, make everyone in the ninja world have a dream for one night. That shouldn't be too difficult for you. If that doesn't work, just use the Eye of the Moon!"

Kitahara Kaede made up her mind that the simplest way to trap everyone in a dream was the Eye of the Moon.

In this way, no one in the ninja world can see through what's going on.

The current Uchiha Itachi is a powerful being of order, far stronger than even Six Paths Madara!

"Grandpa Ōnoki, you'll play the villain again," Kitahara Kaede continued, giving instructions.

He nodded, not intending to say anything about Kitahara Kaede's decision.

Listening to Kitahara Kaede in this situation won't make things worse.

“After the precognitive dream takes effect, a ninja village needs to be completely convinced, and even have the villagers relocate, so that Onoki can raid their home.” Kitahara Kaede said, looking at A and Tsunade.

It seems that someone (Wang Zhao) from both the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village needs to step in and handle this matter.

This matter was bound to attract criticism at first, since choosing to avoid something because of a dream is not something to be proud of.

Even if waiting until Onoki secretly built his base would make the ninja village seem very forward-thinking, the reputation lost at that time would not be easy to regain.

“The Cloud Ninja can do that, but we need some compensation, such as having a moment of glory when fighting the villains,” A said.

Tsunade still hasn't made a statement.

If Konoha does this, it will cause a lot of trouble, the most important of which is Kitahara Kaede's reputation.

No matter what, Kitahara Kaede is a member of Konoha. If Konoha loses face, people will definitely bring it up against Kitahara Kaede.

Doing so seems to involve risks and costs that have exceeded initial expectations.

"Let the Cloud Ninja handle this. Ai can have Darui fight it out!" Kitahara Kaede said.

Chapter 786 The Villain's Performance

"Whether Darui can deliver a highlight moment depends on whether Onoki, who plays the villain, cooperates," Kakashi said.

"It's a bit unreasonable for the villain to be just one person. After all, most of the Otsutsuki clan has been eliminated. If the villain is just one person, the effect might be very poor," Onoki explained his thoughts.

This whole thing has been like a film crew discussing a script lately, but they've all tacitly overlooked one thing.

That means doing things according to Kitahara Kaede's wishes will definitely bring corresponding rewards.

These people are all shrewd; how could they not notice the changes in Kitahara Kaede?

Although Kitahara Kaede became more gentle after returning, he also exuded an air of utter boredom.

This scene could indeed be considered unnecessary, but if it could ease Kitahara Kaede's emotions, then the greatest benefit would be its ability to do so.

Who wouldn't want to become a dominant powerhouse these days?

Although Kitahara Kaede can be willful at times, he has never disappointed those who stand by him.

"Are we talking about Taiyuan now? This matter needs everyone's help to continue."

"Kakashi added, 'The Sand Village has the power to seal off the border and even have villainous identities, like I, 667, and Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage. We should discuss this with them first.'"

Of those present, only a few from Konoha were able to speak their minds without any reservations.

People like Onoki and Ai tend to lose their composure when things involve Kitahara Kaede.

While Kitahara Kaede's savior aura played a part, it was more out of their fear of his strength.

An old saying goes: "He who possesses a sharp weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent."

They were worried that Kitahara Kaede might undergo some uncontrollable changes because of the previous battle.

They sensed Kitahara Kaede's unease and were able to understand his situation.

If they were to fight an enemy for countless years while time was flowing at breakneck speed, they wouldn't dare say they could still be considered normal.

"So this discussion is actually to determine the villain's abilities, right? Then there's no problem, I'll take care of it," Onoki said.

“If all else fails, I can throw out a bunch of small mountains for a performance. Anyway, I’m just killing time. But does anyone know how to teach my granddaughter Dust Release?” Onoki asked.

Kurotsuchi truly lacks the physique to learn Dust Release, and that is the most important thing for Onoki.

If there really is no other way, then he is truly prepared to seek Orochimaru's help.

Even though this approach was outrageous, he had no other choice.

As for the matter of reviving Deidara, Kitahara Kaede and the others were on the side when Onoki was discussing it.

Since Kitahara Kaede did not object to this, then there is most likely no problem with it.

Kitahara Kaede has the ability to resurrect others, as long as the resurrected person and their relatives can bear the consequences.

The resurrection of the dead is somewhat like fighting against death itself, but Kitahara Kaede doesn't care.

The Shinigami of the ninja world don't have much consciousness; one could say their consciousness is simply a creation of chakra.

“Onoki, there’s a gap between our strength and the current ninja world, that’s a fact, you have to admit it.” A frowned.

The gap between the lower and upper echelons of the ninja world is already quite obvious.

At the very top is Kitahara Kaede, who holds the dominant position, followed by these guys who went to space with him.

They are all powerful beings at the Order level.

Then there's the ninja world. Naruto and Sasuke weren't at the complete Six Paths level, but even so, they were considered the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Next are Kurotsuchi, Darui, and the others, who have Kage-level strength, but are still some distance from Super Kage.

The emergence of this gap can only be attributed to problems in the cultivation of ninja talent, resulting in a lack of intermediate strength at a certain stage (bddg), which is certainly not good news.

It's like a building with the best foundation and the best top floor, but if one floor is missing, no one can reach the top.

"So aren't I solving this problem?! Kurotsuchi's current strength is almost predictable!" Onoki shouted.

He truly cares about his family. After realizing just how vast the world is, he couldn't bear to let his family live like frogs in a well.

“In the chakra system, the ranks aren’t actually that distinct. At least that’s true between genin, chunin, and genin. The real distinction is between genin and kage,” Kakashi explained.

Although strictly speaking, Kage is just a title, and in reality, a Kage is only a Jonin-level being.

However, as the world continues to improve and develop, the Shadow has been separated and treated as a separate category.

There can be a maximum of five Kage in the ninja world at the same time, but it is clear that there cannot be only five beings with the strength of a Kage.

This is the current situation in the ninja world; most of those who were once considered strong are no longer strong.

This change occurred in everyone, but their abilities did not match their beliefs.

The ninja world today is idle and restless.

Everyone knows that Kitahara Kaede is powerful, and then they naturally take that power as their own.

But they never considered that these two things are completely different!

“Ambition breeds in times of peace, so we must give them a warning,” Itachi Uchiha said with a grim expression.

The Uchiha clan back then was like that; despite Konoha's suppression, their ambitions were real.

Even what Fugaku Uchiha couldn't suppress wasn't the anger of his clansmen over the injustice, but the ambition that grew out of that anger!

Uchiha Itachi felt genuinely uncomfortable just thinking about it!

Ambition can sometimes really blind people, and even make their minds a complete mess!

"We've gone off on a tangent, but this is a good topic. Since Onoki has approved our plan, there shouldn't be any major problems," Kitahara Kaede said.

He disliked this heavy topic; he didn't think being heavy was something to boast about.

"As for Kurotsuchi's desire to master Dust Release, you can continue to try. And Onoki, have you forgotten that you also master Yin-Yang Release?" Kitahara Kaede reminded him.

After mastering Yin-Yang Release, it's not difficult to grant others something they didn't have before; it's just that Onoki doesn't seem to realize that he already has this ability.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki could use the Bloodline Limit, then those present who were even stronger than her could certainly do it as well.

Chapter 787 Middle Age

However, the Bloodline Limit has never been effective in battles against the Otsutsuki clan.

That's why people intentionally or unintentionally forget about this matter. After all, people are quite realistic, and something that has no practical use is usually not valued.
