I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

“Although the ninja world is quite peaceful now, you seem to have created a lot of trouble for yourselves,” A said.

Ai and Onoki appeared together in everyone's sight.

Only after seeing the previous generation of Kage did the people of the ninja world realize the difference in aura between the two generations of Kage.

The lingering aura of war emanating from Onoki and his companions left everyone speechless.

"Nagato, I think you probably want to take this opportunity to propose the conditions of Amegakure, right?" Onoki said to the Amegakure representative.

Nagato and Konan removed the hoods that had been covering their faces and put their Akatsuki robes back on.

“Mr. Onoki, when we left the ninja world, the ninja world promised us that it would bring peace to Amegakure.” Nagato’s voice was filled with complex emotions.

"But now Amegakure has become a dumping ground for the great ninja villages. Originally, we planned to directly question your successors. If the result is not satisfactory, we will fight for Amegakure's right to survive in our own way!" Konan's emotions were very clear.

She was disgusted by the ninja world's deception of Amegakure!

Although there was no war, the people of Amegakure were not living in peace and prosperity!

Because of pollution, the people of Amegakure are living in unbearable misery! Their lives are even worse than before!

"The incident in Amegakure is one of the problems I plan to resolve this time. You are aware of Mei Terumi's strength. Especially since the clues left by Mei Terumi point to the Rinnegan, I also want to know if you, Konan and Nagato, have any ideas about it," Kitahara Kaede said.

“If I were to attack Mei and the Hidden Mist Village, I couldn’t do it silently.” Nagato shook his head.

He knew that compared to the attack on Mei Terumi, the issue of Amegakure's right to survival could be put on hold.

Having witnessed the power of the strongest beings in the universe, Nagato knew very well how powerful and dangerous an enemy could make Mei Terumi disappear without a trace!

"I'm not questioning you, but it seems you don't have any clue either," Kitahara Kaede sighed.

Kitahara Kaede expressed his trust in words, but in fact he had already reversed time to observe Nagato once.

During his time back in the ninja world, Nagato spent his time dealing with the pollution problems in Amegakure.

There is absolutely nothing to doubt about it!

"You make it sound so scary, but who knows if you're just putting on an act for us? Using a fabricated enemy to consolidate the resources of the ninja world, and then letting all those resources flow into the hands of your five great ninja villages?"

This was another person from Kusagakure speaking up.

They seemed to have realized that Kitahara Kaede and his group wouldn't kill them at this time, which is why they were all so brave.

This is probably the meaning of "a gentleman can be deceived by his principles".

"If the Grass Ninja Village can't learn to respect heroes, I hope you can at least respect power!" A said slowly.

By the time he finished speaking, the straw man who had spoken had already been smashed into pieces!

Ai's speed is so fast that even sound can't keep up with it!

This is the result of his actions: the enemy is already dead, and his voice may have only just been uttered.

However, Ai always speaks first before taking action. He doesn't like to wage war without declaring it, because he believes that is dishonest!

"You have no idea about Mei's strength. For us, destroying a large ninja village is not even a warm-up," Onoki said nonchalantly.

“Of course you can have doubts about our strength, because those of you who haven’t witnessed it firsthand are as laughable as frogs in a well,” Ai added.

"Fourth Raikage, isn't it a bit too much to make a move at the Shinobi World Tournament?!" Naruto shouted angrily.

"Tsunade, your Hokage has the strongest strength among the young people, but the worst brains. If I were you, you'd better teach him a lesson!" A said irritably.

Naruto possesses half the strength of the Sage of Six Paths.

But that was only half!

Even the Sage of Six Paths, now standing before Ai, dared not speak in a questioning tone like he would 3.6!

"It seems that the peace achieved in the ninja world has made you somewhat unsure of your place," Onoki sighed.

"Naruto, shut up!" Tsunade was getting a little angry.

Naruto completely missed the point!

After A showed off his strength, he wasn't worried about the enemy who could defeat Mei Terumi; instead, he was worried about the grass ninja who deserved to be beaten to death.

This kind of awareness is really not commensurate with Naruto's position as Hokage.

Even though Tsunade herself wasn't exactly a skilled Hokage, she at least knew what to do and when.

"The enemy hasn't been captured, which means that everyone present could potentially be attacked," Kitahara Kaede said.

That's the crux of the problem!

Chapter 824 Foolishness

Mei Terumi is an enemy she cannot face alone, and among those present, apart from Kaede Kitahara, no one can guarantee victory.

Even Nagato, the strongest after Kitahara Kaede, couldn't guarantee his victory, and the others might not even be able to protect themselves.

The combat advantage brought by intelligence is simply too great!

"If I were you, even if you weren't planning to cling to us and beg for some help beyond protecting your village, you should at least seriously consider your own safety," Ai said bluntly.

"The enemy may just be targeting you! As far as I know, Kirigakure itself did not suffer any serious damage; only the two Mizukage were injured," the representative from Takigakure said very cautiously.

He even trembled slightly as he said these words.

He was also afraid that Ai would beat him to a pulp, but he still bravely spoke out his opinion.

"Foolish!" Onoki was utterly blunt, and although he didn't attack, he scoffed at this statement. 13

"What do you think our existence represents? Our existence represents that enemies in the universe cannot bypass us to directly harm you!" Ai said irritably.

If it weren't for the fact that this question from Takigakure was indeed something that needed to be answered, A wouldn't have been so polite.

"You just witnessed my power. What if I told you that there are quite a few people with my strength in the universe?!" Ai's tone was already laced with threat.

That's the truth. Although the remnants of the Otsutsuki clan couldn't shake Kitahara Kaede's power, they still possessed the ability to fight against A and his group.

Without A and the others, the current ninja world would be no different from a lamb.

“Alright, the purpose of this meeting is not to convince you with force. Our initial intention was to resolve the issue through negotiations!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Now, given the situation regarding the attacks on Mei and Kirigakure, I hope everyone will speak freely. But there's one condition: you'd better understand that this meeting is about protecting the ninja world from becoming a toy for the enemy," Kitahara Kaede said very seriously.

The room fell silent for a moment.

It's not in a ninja's style to speak rashly about the unknown; they always consider things carefully.

"Perhaps we can negotiate with the enemy?" Naruto said somewhat presumptuously.

"Naruto, you'd better use your brain before you speak. In your current state, you're not suitable to become Hokage!" Tsunade said, somewhat displeased.

If a strong person is incredibly naive, then perhaps he can bring a bright future to the world.

However, although Naruto is powerful, he is still far from being a true powerhouse.

“The enemy has already declared war. Even if you intend to negotiate, you should do so only after you have avenged yourselves against the enemy!” Ai said.

The Third Hokage was quite clear on this point.

Although he didn't achieve much as Hokage, he was flawless in his political skills.

"This meeting is not only laying the groundwork for future systems, but also a test of the enemy," Kitahara Kaede said.

"If the enemy has the strength to defeat us head-on, then this meeting is their best chance." Kitahara Kaede's words made everyone tremble.

This conference brings together the leaders of all forces in the ninja world. If the enemy successfully launches an attack, the ninja world will be powerless to resist.

Kitahara Kaede winked at Kakashi, who nodded in response.

Kitahara Kaede was having Kakashi keep watch, and his spatial abilities were also very powerful when used for perception.

“We haven’t seen any trace of the enemy yet, so I think they probably don’t have the strength to defeat all of us,” Nagato said.

Indeed, if an attack were to be launched, it would be best to do so when everyone has just arrived.

Once everyone knew what had happened, the attack became much less unexpected.

“Perhaps they are just afraid of me, which may not be good news,” Kitahara Kaede said.

While he was speaking, he was actually using the power of time. Kitahara Kaede was using this method to confirm whether the enemy still had any means to limit the power of time.

If Kitahara Kaede's time manipulation power is not restricted, then even if he kills everyone present, it's just a matter of reversing time.

"We now face only two ways to eradicate the problem. One is to find the enemy and then eliminate them with all our might! The other is to raise the overall strength of the ninja world to a level that the enemy cannot attack," Itachi Uchiha said.

He wasn't exactly popular in the ninja world.

Even if he committed the act of exterminating the entire clan for the sake of the village's stability, others would not have any goodwill towards such a tool of the ruler.

"How can strength increase out of thin air?" This question came from one of the representatives of the small ninja village.

They probably wouldn't even think about killing the enemy, because they are too weak to get involved in such a battle.

However, they are still very concerned about improving their own strength.

For the small ninja village, the law of the jungle is the most fundamental reality.

They were the weaker party to begin with, and they did a lot of things to increase their strength.

“The blood of the Otsutsuki clan. We have killed many members of the Otsutsuki clan in the universe. You also know about bloodline transplantation,” Onoki said with his eyes closed.

This approach will inevitably involve sacrifices, even though chakra is a highly adaptable power.

However, the risk of bloodline transplantation is not in chakra, but in the basic rejection reaction!

Kakashi's Sharingan once placed a huge burden on his body.

After Nagato initially used Madara's Rinnegan power, he was almost completely drained.

"Can blood bring power?" the people from the small ninja village asked, their eagerness for a definite answer evident.

"That's fine for you, because the gap between you is just too big. Just some blood is enough for you to reach the Kage level in the conventional sense," Kitahara Kaede said, glancing at the representative of the small ninja village whose strength was only Jonin.

The concept of "shadow level" is actually quite vague.

We can only confirm that a Kage is above an Elite Jonin, but that doesn't mean a Kage can always win against an Elite Jonin.

It's just that the probability of a Kage-level ninja losing to an elite Jonin is indeed very small.

In combat, it's important to consider the balance of strengths and weaknesses.

Chapter 825 Compensation

However, the blood of an Otsutsuki of the Order level is more than enough to allow a Jonin's chakra to reach the Kage level.

It might even give rise to some initial-level bloodline limits!

"What about the risks?" the people from the small ninja village asked all at once.

“Let’s keep things orderly. I don’t want to be in a noisy environment, especially since what happened earlier has already made me feel terrible,” Ai said.

He was maintaining order for Kitahara Kaede.

Kitahara Kaede is generally a very peaceful and easy-going person, at most she just has a little bit of a quirky sense of humor.

However, the current situation is not normal; no one would be in a good mood when they are being targeted.

Although Kitahara Kaede herself might not care much about this matter, Ai still hoped to do something about it.

“The risks are much lower than the experiments you conducted in your own villages,” Kitahara Kaede said.

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing.

Blood transfusions have long been a means of emergency treatment in the ninja world; the blood of the Otsutsuki is simply more powerful.

The risks are similar to those associated with blood type rejection, but these risks can be controlled as long as there are sufficiently professional medical personnel present.

“You might agree after thinking about it for a while, so I don’t intend to continue this topic,” Kitahara Kaede said.

He knew very well what kind of people these small ninja villages were; they would do anything to become stronger.

Even if the risk wasn't serious, and only one out of ten people could survive, they would still rush in like moths to a flame!

"Let's continue talking about the unknown enemy. I don't believe they are completely ignorant of everything in the ninja world. This is the conclusion we reached after our analysis."

“If any of you can come up with a useful clue, then his ninja village will be the first to be promoted,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Coercion is not a good approach for the people of the small ninja village. A combination of kindness and firmness, showing them what is beneficial to them, is what will motivate them.

“I can give you time to inquire about the situation in your own villages, so what we’re going to discuss next is the matter of Amegakure becoming a garbage dump,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Gathering intelligence is never a process that can be accomplished overnight.

No one can remember all the information clearly in their mind, so they need to be given some time to process this matter.
