I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

If the Second Tsuchikage Mu and Hozuki Gengetsu are left together, the most likely outcome is not that they will immediately forgive and forget each other.

Instead, they should seize the opportunity for another fierce battle!

"Naruto, you're making Konoha lose face right now," Tsunade said, somewhat helplessly.

Naruto's innocence and kindness can indeed inspire many people.

However, not everyone has to think according to his ideas!

Especially since among the people he tried to persuade, there were strong individuals like Ai and Onoki who already had mature worldviews, and they wouldn't be easily swayed.

"But everyone agreed before!" Naruto continued to argue.

"Are you sure they're not afraid of your power?" Ai said sarcastically.

Putting everything else aside, Chojuro would absolutely not have had the courage to object to anything when faced with Naruto's strength.

As for Black Earth and Darui, they might have different ideas, but they would never say them out loud.

On the contrary, Gaara, the Kazekage, might slightly agree with Naruto, because the Sand Village still needs to rely on Konoha to survive.

This is considered a legacy issue.

"Alright, young people still have time to grow. This time, another enemy has appeared, and I think he will mature quickly," Onoki said, trying to smooth things over.

"I have a feeling that young people these days are all very naive. I have to say, the ninja world has been quite peaceful these past few years," Hozuki Gengetsu said with a sigh.

Naïveness is more common in peacetime, because in times of war, those naive individuals would have already died on the battlefield.

"Peace is a good thing, but how come young people these days don't even understand the importance of being prepared for danger in times of peace?" The Fourth Mizukage shook his head and said.

Naruto is the current Hokage, a fact that the two Mizukage already understand.

Although they don't yet know how much strength Naruto possesses, it's enough for them to make a rough guess.

If he didn't have the strength, this naive Hokage would have already turned Konoha into easy prey for other villages.

"Alright, now is not the time to discuss Naruto." Kitahara Kaede frowned slightly, and everyone immediately stopped complaining about Naruto.

Kitahara Kaede's status far surpasses anything that titles like Hokage or Mizukage could achieve.

Although all of these privileges are granted by strength, Kitahara Kaede's privileges are in a unique tier.

"Let's continue with the issue of the enemy. The details of the previous training have been finalized," Kitahara Kaede emphasized.

The fact that a mere intelligence officer possessed that level of power still deeply concerned Kitahara Kaede.

The issue of the average strength of the ninja world remains a huge unresolved problem!

“Let’s form a think tank among the ninja villages,” A suggested.

Although this was something Kitahara Kaede had mentioned before, it would be more appropriate for him to make this idea public at this time.

“Iwa ninja have no objections,” Onoki said.

Tsunade also intended to express her opinion, but after glancing at the Hokage hat on Naruto's head, she chose to remain silent.

Onoki and A are the representatives of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, so they are able to say such things on behalf of their villages.

However, Tsunade was different. Although Naruto's prestige had been somewhat tarnished, she still had to consider the Hokage's reputation.

"The Hidden Mist Village approves of this suggestion!" Mei Terumi finally spoke.

The situation in Kirigakure is quite different from that in Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even Konoha. There are three Mizukage present in Kirigakure at this time.

However, the current Mizukage, Chojuro, was not present, so the only person who could express his opinion was Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi is the strongest of the three Mizukage, and her statements cannot be refuted.

“The Sand Village agrees,” Gaara said.

He was a smart man, and he understood what was going on when he saw that the suggestion was made by Ai and that Onoki immediately agreed.

Even if this suggestion wasn't Kitahara Kaede's original idea, it was still approved by Kitahara Kaede.

Although I didn't rush to agree right away, it was just the right time to speak up.

This way, it wouldn't give the impression that he hadn't considered the suggestion, nor would it make the Kazekage of Sunagakure seem indecisive.

"Konoha agrees." Naruto didn't say anything this time.

He's just naive, not stupid.

After all four major ninja villages agreed, he knew that the suggestion was bound to be implemented.

If we don't express our stance now, and Amegakure were to give its approval, Konoha's prestige would suffer.

Moreover, given Nagato and Konan's strength, Amegakure is qualified to replace a certain major ninja village.

Although the target will not be Konoha because of Kitahara Kaede and the others, Naruto will not sit idly by and watch Amegakure challenge the status of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

That would break the existing stalemate in the ninja world!

“The Hidden Rain Village thinks there’s nothing wrong with this idea.” Nagato finished speaking and glanced at Naruto, his expression somewhat complicated.

With the approval of the various representatives, the people of the small ninja village also began to loosely agree with this opinion.

“Each ninja village can send its strategists to stay here. As for the safety of these strategists, I will take care of that,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Although he didn't like doing this kind of thing, he was the only one who could take charge of it right now.

The reason is simple: to guard against that unknown enemy, at least a powerful being of the Order level is needed.

Konoha has the most strong members of the Order of the Ninja, Iwa only has Onoki, and Kumogakure is a little better, with Killer Bee in addition to A.

3.6 However, none of their ninjutsu was sufficient to handle this task.

As for the number of Konoha's strongmen, there are enough, but it's hard not to have some doubts about having a village in charge of this kind of work.

Based on this calculation, only Kitahara Kaede is qualified for this job.

"Konoha has dispatched Jonin Shikamaru Nara to handle this task," Naruto stated directly.

However, he didn't seem to realize that his actions had embarrassed the other villages.

Although every village has advisors, their abilities vary greatly.

Konoha brought out the current head of the Nara clan, which is a very sincere gesture.

However, the strategists from other villages did not have the reputation of the Nara clan, which led to a competitive environment resembling an arms race.

"Konoha is indeed full of talented people," Ai said.

Chapter 834 Proposal

Ai's words were obviously sarcastic, and Naruto could tell.

Although his political skills as a Hokage are not yet up to par, he can figure out this kind of problem given time.

After being mocked by Ai, Naruto immediately realized what he had done wrong.

But once the words are spoken, it's difficult to take them back.

“Indeed, isn’t it normal for Konoha to be full of talented people?” Kitahara Kaede said.

It was only then that Ai remembered the fact that Kitahara Kaede was also a Konoha person.

He had long since forgotten about this matter over the past decade or so!

"So there must be some benefits in Konoha that I don't know about. A place that can produce Kitahara Kaede can't be ordinary," Onoki said, trying to smooth things over.

Ai gave Onoki a grateful look.

"The decision regarding the think tank has been finalized. If there are any objections, please raise them now," Kitahara Kaede said.

This effectively bypasses the direct roll call process.

No one would object to something that benefits the ninja world like this.

“Very good. Since there are no objections, the Ninja World Think Tank is now established. The scope of the think tank’s work will be announced later,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Then the next issue concerns transportation in the ninja world. Lightning vehicles need to be more widely adopted," Kitahara Kaede raised a new topic.

The advantages of the Thunder car were clear to everyone present, regardless of their background.

The benefits of convenient transportation are obvious, but no one has spoken about them because it's not something that can be confirmed simply by talking about it.

Transportation requires investment, and since Kitahara Kaede raised this issue seriously, it cannot be built within a single village.

It's not just a transportation network, it covers the entire ninja world!

But the small ninja village doesn't have enough wealth to do this!

Villages like the Grass Ninja Village are currently preoccupied with rebuilding their village and have no energy left to care about this matter.

"We are responsible for all the transportation routes connecting Kumogakure and Konoha!" A said.

He wasn't just talking about building a road from Kumogakure to Konoha; he was referring to including all the small countries along that route.

"The same goes for the Iwagakure ninja," Ohnoki chimed in.

The resources and foundations of the Cloud Ninja and the Rock Ninja are sufficient to support them in doing this, which is also a business development issue that was discussed with Kitahara Kaede before.

“The Sand Village can provide half of the materials and resources,” Gaara said.

The Sand Village is very poor, and it is difficult for them to even cover half of the expenses.

They used half of the resources to cover transportation costs from Sunagakure to Konoha, so the other half fell on the shoulders of the smaller villages along the way.

"The Hidden Mist Village relies on sea transport, so there's no need to build tracks for the Thunder Chariots. Therefore, the Hidden Mist Village is responsible for the road connecting the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village!" said the security-browed man.

She's doing this to earn a good reputation for Kirigakure.

Despite being the first targets of a mysterious enemy, they are still willing to make this level of contribution to the development of the ninja world.

This is enough to bring more benefits to Kirigakure.

At least they won't lose money!

“But how can we ensure that these roads won’t be attacked by the enemy during construction? If they really don’t want the ninja world to develop, they will definitely seize this opportunity to sabotage it,” Naruto said.

This time he actually hit the nail on the head.

Destruction is always easier than construction.

With the power of a strong order entity, turning a repaired road into ruins is not a difficult task.

"So we're planning to lure the snake out of its hole," Tsunade said.

“Only when the entire ninja world is under construction will they not think we are luring them out,” A said.

"I think it's well worth sacrificing some resources to expose the enemy. As for the losses, you don't need to worry about anything," Onoki said.

With Kitahara Kaede's time manipulation abilities, simply destroying roads isn't a problem to be solved easily.

Even if the other side has the ability to block Kitahara Kaede's use of time power, they cannot possibly possess such a means on a large scale.

This was the answer everyone came to after seeing some sand and gravel in Kirigakure.

"Although it's foolish to pin our hopes of defeating the enemy on their mistakes, it's the best option right now," Kitahara Kaede said.

Rather than doing nothing and letting the enemy continue to hide in the shadows, it's better to give them a chance.

Although we still don't have much information about the other side, it's much better than the previous situation where we were completely in the dark.

"If we're forced to the brink, we're not without options," Ai said.

This method is to let Kitahara Kaede directly destroy the ninja world, leaving the enemy nowhere to hide!

After defeating the enemy, we can use the power of time to turn back time!

For Kitahara Kaede, expelling the enemy from the influence of the power of time was not difficult.

However, the specific details of this method cannot be revealed. Although there are many people in the ninja world who are prepared to sacrifice themselves, most of them are the type who fight for their own interests.

They could not accept the outcome of entrusting their lives to Kitahara Kaede.

"And that's how it was decided to build the road!"

Kitahara Kaede said.

Once Kitahara Kaede made her decision, there was no need for anyone to object.

“Naruto, if you still don’t understand many things, you can ask the older generation of ninjas later. I think they will tell you the reasons,” Tsunade said.

He really didn't want to see Naruto continue to embarrass himself at times like this.

The world of ninjas may seem vast, but the area where they can actually operate is actually quite small.
