I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Gaara didn't experience the scene where Naruto slapped him in the mouth with Kotoamatsukami. Although he still became the Kazekage, trusting others was still a difficult thing for him.

"I originally wanted to suggest that Granny Chiyo be the one in the know," Kakashi said, scratching his head.

If Granny Chiyo were the one in the know, she would be a good choice.

However, considering Gaara's situation, Chiyo was ruled out as a candidate.

While Gaara wasn't exactly a dictator, he was practically the undisputed ruler of the Sand Village.

"Then there are only two candidates left: Temari and Maki," Tsunade said.

Temari is Gaara's older sister, and her relationship with Kitahara Kaede is somewhat ambiguous. As someone who knows the inside story, Temari would definitely not have any problems.

As for Maki, he is Gaara's mentor Jonin and also the current Kazekage's assistant.

His influence and voice are just right.

Although Maki is only an elite Jonin in terms of strength, he is not much different from a Kage.

Moreover, Maki has mastered a portion of the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release! He himself can also represent a part of the Sunagakure's heritage.

“Maki isn’t strong enough, but Temari would be a good choice.” Onoki nodded.

This princess of the Sand Village has grown to the level of a Kage. If we don't consider Naruto, she is the strongest Wind Release ninja in the ninja world.

In particular, Temari and Kitahara Kaede have a really good relationship, and on this basis, Ohnoki also thinks that Temari is the more suitable candidate.

"Why not just tell Fengying directly? Although Fengying isn't a powerful being of order, he's someone who can distinguish right from wrong." Ai frowned.

Ai believes that Gaara is the most suitable candidate.

If I had to say who among the people present resembles Gaara the most, it would be A.

He was loved and respected by everyone in his ninja village, and he had the ability and skill to do so. A recognized Gaara as his junior.

“Let the Kazekage attend our meeting. His bodyguards will undoubtedly be Temari and Kankuro. We can inform him of that as well,” Kitahara Kaede said.

As for Maki... when Gaara is not in the village, someone has to act as the Kazekage. Who else could be Maki but the Kazekage?

It couldn't possibly be the old and blind Granny Chiyo and Ebizo, could it?

"Then it's settled. Let's send a joint letter in the names of Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure," Kitahara Kaede said, seeing that no one had any objections.

“This should be a good thing. I’ll also prepare the information on the Heavenly Delivery Technique and send it over together. That way, we won’t have to explain the Heavenly Delivery Technique before the meeting,” Ai said.

"Remember to send a copy of the information on the Heavenly Delivery Technique to the Mizukage, although that Chojuro kid is a bit... well, never mind," Tsunade said.

Of course, Chojuro's iconic scene as the Mizukage has not yet appeared, but from the information about Chojuro during this period, everyone can see what kind of person this kid is.

They have similar spirit, but their methods are immature and their strength is barely adequate.

This kind of guy could only become a Kage in Kirigakure.

"It's all Madara Uchiha's fault!" Onoki shook his head.

The Hidden Mist Village chose Chojuro as the Mizukage because they had no other choice.

Chojuro was the tallest person in Kirigakure besides Mei Terumi, which was so bad that A and the others couldn't bear to talk about it.

During World War II, Hozuki Gengetsu, the Mizukage, became a Kage as a genjutsu ninja, and his strength was beyond doubt.

The Third Mizukage, the one without a name and whose only notable achievement was being controlled by Madara Uchiha, was the most tragic.

This guy is the one who started the story of Blood Mist Village...

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, at least had some achievements to his name, and his Water Mirror Technique was a powerful weapon that could disrupt the battlefield.

However, the Blood Mist Village era almost completely depleted the village's resources.

"It seems that besides the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Kirigakure doesn't have any other famous strong individuals." Tsunade thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any other strong individuals.

As for that white-eyed killer Qing... he's just so-so.

Aside from being a sensory and observational ninja, he has no other special qualities. Since he is not from the Hyuga clan, he couldn't possibly know Gentle Fist.

These two are the most useful members of Mei Terumi's Shadow Guard, far surpassing those of other villages.

"By the way, the names of the Seven Ninja Swords seem to all be related to fruits, right?" Ai suddenly became interested.

He knew that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had their Eight Gates opened by Might Guy and turned into the Lucky Three.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of that generation (Wang Zhaohao) were indeed top-tier fighters, with several of them even reaching the Kage level.

“No, it’s not Kurosuki Raiga,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Speaking of the wielder of this Thunder Blade, Kitahara Kaede has a lot of complaints to make.

All six others are Fruit Ninjas, and you're the only one who's a Gold Miner, right?

Kitahara Kaede couldn't understand how this brain-dead guy became one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

She is far inferior to Ringo Ameyuri, the young and tragically deceased genius of Kirigakure.

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen who survived the Eight Gates Formation must be terrified, right?" Onoki said.

He had seen Kai open the Eight Gates, and the aura and strength he displayed were indeed extraordinary.

Thinking about it this way, it seems there's a reason why the Seven Ninja Swordsmen weren't very powerful when they appeared later.

Once you lose your will to be strong, it becomes incredibly difficult to even maintain your Jonin level of strength.

Onoki understood that feeling.

Chapter 796 Black Hole

Onoki, a guy who can be described as a living fossil of the ninja world, has experienced things that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Back then, when he and the Second Tsuchikage were being toyed with and brutally beaten by Madara Uchiha, he genuinely considered giving up.

Naturally, Onoki also knew very well what it felt like for someone to lose even a tenth of their strength under such desperate circumstances.

"Why are we suddenly talking about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? Kirigakure is a bit weak, but with Mei Terumi around, it's still stronger than Sunagakure, right?" Tsunade said.

Mei Terumi's strength is genuinely formidable. Although everyone is an Order-level powerhouse, there are still some differences in their strength.

In Kitahara Kaede's eyes, the strength of the people present could be temporarily divided into three levels.

Kai is the strongest among them besides Kitahara Kaede, of course, this is after the Eight Gates are included.

In their normal state, the strongest are Onoki, A, and Itachi Uchiha.

Next came Tsunade, Kakashi, and Mei Terumi, who was not present.

Mei Terumi, possessing two bloodline limits, is considered the most powerful among those of her level.

If given a little more time, it wouldn't be impossible for her to master the second order.

The path to the pinnacle of Order, where only Beiyuan Feng, a powerful figure, has been proven feasible, has been established.

However, this does not mean that mastering multiple orders necessarily precludes one from becoming the dominant power.

“If Mei Terumi can master the second order, she might become the ruler even faster than you by applying her knowledge to other situations,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Actually, for you, the possibility of us becoming dominant powerhouses is the same, right?" Itachi Uchiha asked.

"You could say that there are only two possibilities: success or failure. As for what the success rate is for each person, I can't say for sure. But time and space are indeed shortcuts," Kitahara Kaede answered.

"Tsk, so Kakashi is actually the most likely one?" Tsunade said, glaring at Kakashi.

"Aren't Nagato and the others still here? By the way, should we send a message to Amegakure as well?" Kakashi said awkwardly.

"It seems we still haven't shaken off the arrogance of the Five Great Nations. We've been talking for so long that we almost forgot about Amegakure." Onoki shook his head.

His ability to reflect on himself is also a strength, although this strength has only been cultivated in the last ten years or so.

If it were the original Onoki, it would be a smelly, hard, broken rock.

“The Rain Village will definitely negotiate with the Five Great Nations. We’ve seen the situation there before, and to be honest, it’s not good,” Kitahara Kaede said.

The five great nations are still dumping garbage into Amegakure, something that Nagato and Konan absolutely cannot accept.

They won't resort to force to solve the problem just out of respect for Kitahara Kaede.

"Just how many kinds of order has Nagato mastered?" Kitahara Kaede couldn't help but ask, seeing how nervous everyone was about Nagato.

After all, having been entangled with the Otsutsuki God King for over a decade, Kitahara Kaede wasn't very clear about everyone's growth.

However, since everyone is like this, Nagato definitely does not control only one order!

"Gravity and repulsion? And life? Anyway, these three are certain!" Onoki said.

"If you could learn about gravity from Nagato, or if Nagato could learn about mass control from you, then you'd be pretty much able to create a black hole." Kitahara Kaede's lips twitched.

Black holes exist in the universe, and even Kitahara Kaede would have a headache if he encountered one.

Black holes have reached a point where they can influence time, so escaping them is no easy task.

"By the way, can the Heavenly Delivery Technique be used to teleport to a black hole?" Onoki suddenly asked.

This question sent chills down everyone's spine.

"If this could teleport, it wouldn't just be a planet-destroying weapon; it would directly annihilate everything within a certain range," Kakashi said blankly.

"Don't even think about it. The Heavenly Delivery Technique must have a limit. I even think it's a bit of a stretch to teleport that old man Onoki's little sand." Ai's lips twitched incessantly.

If the Heavenly Delivery Technique could teleport people out of a black hole, then there would be no need for everyone to study how to break through the order level.

Why not just study the Heavenly Transmission Technique? It can even teleport through black holes, isn't that more powerful than space itself?

"I was just thinking about it. After all, weapons are something we control ourselves, so of course the stronger the better," Onoki said somewhat embarrassedly.

“That makes sense, but the premise is that we control the weapon. As for teleporting to a black hole, who among you dares to say they can control it?” Kitahara Kaede said with some helplessness.

Black holes have reached a level of dominance, influencing time and space, and possessing immeasurable mass and gravity.

These are all things that Kitahara Kaede currently possesses, and some of them are considered trump cards.

“However, you can choose to study black holes, but you can’t do it in the ninja world. Although I can handle the damage, it’s too troublesome,” Kitahara Kaede said.

If a black hole were to appear in the ninja world, dealing with it would be no easy task.

Just because Kitahara Kaede can do it doesn't mean he's willing to deal with troubles that could have been avoided.

"If we really create a black hole, we ourselves might not be able to escape," Ohnoki said with some helplessness.

"Aren't you overthinking it? At most, you can only create a rudimentary form of a black hole," Kitahara Kaede explained.

Black holes capable of reaching the level of the ruler are things born in nature.

If a few powerful beings of order could create such a terrifying contraption with a little research, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

"If you want to do research, you'd better do it in space," Tsunade warned.

She absolutely did not want to wake up one day to find that a black hole had appeared in the ninja world.

This is utterly terrifying; most people couldn't handle it.

"If we're going to do research, let's bring Orochimaru along too. That guy already has quite a bit of knowledge about natural science," Kitahara Kaede specifically mentioned.

Orochimaru's previous research focused on the field of biotechnology, so his knowledge of natural sciences was somewhat lacking.

On the contrary, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was able to create the Flying Thunder God Technique, which must have demonstrated his knowledge and achievements in natural science.

"So how exactly do we utilize the sun's energy?" Akai asked with a deep expression. "The rising and setting of the sun is youth; utilizing the sun's power is seizing youth!"

After Akai finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This loud and boisterous way of talking about youth is what Ah Kai should be like. Nobody's used to a serious and proper Ah Kai.

Chapter 797 The Box of Bliss

"The first thing to do to utilize the sun's energy is to accurately capture it. In our understanding, that's roughly sunlight," Onoki said.

“Sunlight is just one manifestation of solar energy; after all, we’re not discussing using the power of stars to enhance individuals,” Kitahara Kaede said, nodding.

Onoki is right. For most people, the most obvious manifestation of the sun's power is sunlight.

Ordinary people can only utilize the power of sunlight to a certain extent; it would be somewhat impractical to expect them to directly utilize sunlight and heat.

Even the Uchiha clan, who are most skilled in fire-style techniques, wouldn't dare say that their fire-style techniques could rival the temperature of the sun's surface.

For a typical flame to reach a temperature of over 3,000 degrees Celsius, it would require certain harsh conditions.

But even a regular fire jutsu is extremely deadly.

However, Fire Release techniques often fail to defeat opponents, but that's not a problem with Fire Release itself, but rather with the opponent.

"Now that you mention it, I'm a little curious. The sun's energy is so vast, could it be sealed into the human body like the tailed beasts were sealed?" Kakashi suddenly had a thought!
