I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Those guys sent out by the Otsutsuki clan all used a thousand years as their basic unit of time.

If the Sand Village could produce one such powerful individual, that level would be sufficient.

"Then, could we take this person on a trip through the universe?" Kakashi asked.

"Of course, after witnessing the vastness of the universe, if he still clings to the territory and interests of the ninja world, then he truly cannot be considered respectable." Kitahara Kaede nodded.

“This person cannot be the Wind Shadow,” Ai said.

“As the leader of the Sand Village, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be the Kazekage for the next ten years or so. He is indeed not suitable,” Onoki agreed.

"Then let Temari do it?" Tsunade said.

"The Wind Shadow's older sister? That's a good candidate." Ai nodded.

“Okay, for now, it’s confirmed that the person in the know in Sand Village and the host of the meeting is this princess from Sand Village,” Kitahara Kaede said.

This solved one of the problems, so he was naturally in a good mood.

"So, back to the meeting, the Ninja World Conference can't avoid the civilians, so what about them?" A asked.

“Let’s give commoners the opportunity to become ninjas. Even the weakest members of the Otsutsuki clan would be considered quite good by our standards,” Tsunade said.

These words struck a chord with Kitahara Kaede.

The content of the Ninja World Conference needs to be made public to everyone; this was decided from the beginning.

However, the individual differences in the ninja world mean that most ordinary people don't even have the chance to speak, which is not good.

“That’s a good idea, but how do we execute it?” Onoki asked Kitahara Kaede.

His expression clearly urged Kitahara Kaede to come up with a solution quickly.

“If you crush the fruit of the Divine Tree directly in the Ninja World, the energy concentration of the Ninja World will double.” Kitahara Kaede didn’t keep anyone in suspense and said directly.

"Tsk, I almost forgot, we raided the ancestral home of the Otsutsuki clan." Ai shook his head, appearing somewhat nonchalant.

“All the planets where the divine trees were planted have been destroyed, so it’s impossible to return these fruits.” Kitahara Kaede shook his head with a wry smile.

Once the Divine Tree is planted and bears fruit, all life on this planet will disappear.

Even if you were to crush that fruit back onto a completely dead planet, you couldn't bring it back to life.

So it's not that Kitahara Kaede doesn't intend to return these fruits to their rightful owner, but rather that doing so would be pointless.

On the contrary, planets that still have life will become more beautiful under this energy.

“This is the crudest form of resource plunder.” Kakashi shook his head as well.

He is a man capable of serving as Hokage, and his political skills are certainly not lacking.

If he were put in charge of plundering resources, he would have plenty of ways to get planets without civilization to provide more resources.

Although this practice is unethical, the nature of resource plunder is inherently cruel.

"This is the most basic rule of this world: the survival of the fittest. All we can do is make the ninja world fairer," Kitahara Kaede said.

He knew that plundering was by no means noble, but he would never use any shady methods to whitewash its dirty nature.

But for the sake of familiar people and their current home, looting is something that must be done.

"Just don't try to outdo the Otsutsuki clan in being worse. In the end, their methods are just serving that Otsutsuki God King," Onoki said dismissively.

"There's no need to think about such things. The average strength in the ninja world right now isn't even at the genin level. Why worry about others?" A shared the same attitude.

They are well aware that the development process inevitably involves the exploitation and plunder of resources, and they also know that plunder is an immoral act.

But we would never be foolish enough to ignore the rights of our own people and instead worry about whether people on other planets are doing well.

"Alright, it seems we've found an answer to this question. Improving the average strength of the ninja world is the most important thing right now," Kitahara Kaede said.

The gap between the strong and the weak in the ninja world has reached an indescribable level. Even without considering Kitahara Kaede, Onoki and the others are so powerful that it is hard to comprehend.

The weakest ordinary people in the ninja world are not even able to face a group of hungry beasts.

Therefore, the most important thing is to first consider how to improve the overall strength of the ninja world.

“If the overall strength of the ninja world doesn’t improve, then we’ll always be like firefighters putting out fires,” Tsunade said.

The role of the strongest is not to constantly make up for the problems caused by the weak, but to lead their people to continuously expand their territory.

If Kitahara Kaede and his group have to take action every time aliens arrive, then the rest of the ninja world becomes worthless.

“Although measuring a person’s worth by value is a bit cold, it’s the only way to do it in this cosmic environment.” Itachi Uchiha nodded in agreement.

Although he wasn't particularly intelligent, he at least had an understanding of peace.

Furthermore, Itachi Uchiha was particularly adept at making binary choices, but his method of making those choices was somewhat problematic.

"It seems that everyone is finally getting a little used to looking at things from the perspective of the immortals." Kitahara Kaede smiled.

This is what he wanted to bring to everyone.

For Onoki and his crew, their previous adventures were only a dozen or so years, but for Kitahara Kaede, it was hundreds of years!

The human concept of time no longer applies to them at this time.

"We didn't want things to be like this either, but if we don't change things, the ninja world will really be in danger," Onoki sighed.

No one can guarantee that there will be no more enemies in the universe.

The boundaries of the territory controlled by the Otsutsuki clan were also unknown to Kitahara Kaede and his companions.

Chapter 802 Research Plan

"With such a long lifespan, I suddenly feel like I could stay in the position of Tsuchikage for a few hundred more years," Onoki remarked.

He was just joking; this topic had already been discussed before.

They must leave room for young people to advance in order for the village to function properly.

"Stop joking around. Instead of thinking about this, you should be thinking about how to marry your granddaughter to Kitahara Kaede. That would be more practical," Ai said casually.

"You think I don't want to? It's just that we've been away from the ninja world for over a decade, and Kitahara Kaede might be a stranger to young people now," Onoki said nonchalantly.

Kitahara Kaede felt a little strange; how did she suddenly become the center of attention?

"Stop messing around. Although I am a bit of a philanthropist, this matter is all about mutual consent, right?" Kitahara Kaede retorted.

"Judging by the time, Kurotsuchi is already thirty years old. I actually hope she can be with Kitahara Kaede." Onoki glanced at Kitahara Kaede sideways.

"I think you just want your granddaughter to get a fruit from the Divine Tree, right?" Tsunade said.

"Stop joking. If we can reduce expenses on things like the Divine Tree Fruit, we should be more frugal. Crushing it up and integrating it into the ninja world will have the best effect," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Our strength only broke through in the universe. Perhaps it's because the energy in the ninja world can only support Kage-level strength under normal circumstances?" Kakashi changed the subject.

He had a feeling that continuing this topic might become dangerous.

“When you reach the level of Hashirama Senju and his ilk, the result of fighting at full strength is to change the landscape over a large area,” Tsunade said.

“The ninja world can’t withstand the chaos caused by this kind of guy. If the battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had involved constantly changing battlefields, the terrain of the ninja world would have changed long ago,” Onoki continued.

“When the Divine Tree’s fruit strengthens the ninja world, it might also improve the quality of everything in the ninja world,” Kitahara Kaede said.

The carrying capacity of a planet essentially limits the upper limit of the strongest beings within it.

An individual capable of destroying the planet beneath their feet should not be born on such a planet.

After all, not just any life form can survive in the cosmic environment.

"If we can really achieve that, then the status of taijutsu ninjas will be elevated to an unprecedented level." A's eyes lit up as he said this.

When elemental ninjutsu can no longer cause significant damage, the status of taijutsu ninjas will inevitably rise.

Even though A can't be considered a pure taijutsu ninja, it's definitely a good thing for him.

“At that point, perhaps ninjutsu will no longer be about seeking power from the outside, but about using it to enhance one’s own strength.” Kitahara Kaede smiled.

People are born into different environments.

"This sounds a bit off, but I can't figure out what the problem is right now." Kakashi scratched his face.

This is something he only does when he feels embarrassed.

Although ninjas are a profession that requires them to avoid revealing their identities as much as possible, it doesn't matter for someone like Kakashi.

When he was working in the secret service, his identity was often recognized by the enemy.

Putting everything else aside, his Sharingan alone back then was enough to expose most of his identity.

Even with one eye covered, his identity isn't hard to guess...

He is a member of the Konoha Anbu, has white hair, uses a short sword, and is skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu. His summoning technique is a ninja dog, and he also covers one eye.

Based on this information, we can deduce Kakashi's identity.

“The problem is that that’s a situation that will only occur a long time from now,” Kitahara Kaede said with some helplessness. “The transformation of the ninja world cannot be accomplished overnight; such things require time for adaptation.”

"That's true. No one can guarantee that people will be able to adapt after the Divine Tree's fruits amplify the ninja world," Tsunade said seriously.

People from low-altitude areas can experience altitude sickness when they go to high-altitude areas.

Conversely, oxygen intoxication can also occur.

The overall energy concentration in the ninja world has doubled, so it would be strange if the people in the ninja world didn't react at all.

"So this matter also needs to be studied, and some of the already scarce fruits from the Divine Tree need to be taken out for experiments," Kitahara Kaede said.

"Looking at it this way, the ninja world really needs a lot of scientific talent," Onoki sighed.

The Hidden Stone Village lacks such people, and so does the Hidden Cloud Village.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

As for the Sand Village, needless to say.

Most of the new gadgets in these villages were left behind by the shadows of previous generations.

Things like Lightning Release Armor, Dust Release, Magnet Release, and Puppet Technique are all things left behind by our ancestors.

As for newly created things, there are only a few more in Konoha.

“It’s precisely at times like these that we feel Orochimaru is an indispensable and outstanding talent. There’s definitely something wrong with that.” Tsunade also felt uncomfortable.

Orochimaru is really not a likable guy, and it's not just because of his strange appearance.

For a normal person, Orochimaru would definitely be someone with a serious illness.

“If he weren’t like this, he might have been the Fourth Hokage back then,” Kitahara Kaede said.

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

Orochimaru was definitely Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite disciple, but Hiruzen Sarutobi, a short-sighted fellow, completely failed to notice Orochimaru's request.

It's already quite remarkable that Orochimaru and Hiruzen Sarutobi could still maintain some semblance of master-disciple affection under such an education.

"Should we bring Orochimaru to the next meeting?" Tsunade asked.

"Let's bring him along. This guy is not easy to hide from. It's better to have him appear as an insider," Kitahara Kaede said.

Kitahara Kaede possessed many valuable items from the universe, all of which were novelties to Orochimaru.

With Orochimaru's spirit of exploration, he was full of enthusiasm for everything that was previously unknown to him.

Moreover, these studies cannot bypass him, so it's more convenient to explain things directly.

"Orochimaru will be the one to lead the experiment. That's settled then," Onoki said somewhat reluctantly.

If possible, both Onoki and Ai would prefer that the person in charge of this experiment be from their own village.

Because that would mean that their own village would be the first to benefit from any achievements.

However, they must also admit that Konoha has a natural advantage in advanced research.

The abilities of Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru are far beyond the reach of the researchers in their village.

"This is a rather reluctant decision," Ai said, her lips twitching.

"Who told Orochimaru to be a Konoha person now?" Kitahara Kaede said with a slightly benevolent smile.

Chapter 803 Teasing

"Let's go, let's go to the Sand Ninja first!" Kitahara Kaede said, releasing his energy and enveloping everyone.

It's still the same acceleration method we used before; this ability is irreplaceable when it comes to traveling.

Everyone has already started taking action.
