I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

“We heard from Kakashi that a mysterious enemy has appeared in the ninja world. I don’t think that’s the main reason you asked us to attend this meeting,” Shima asked.

Kitahara Kaede nodded. If it's just about asking for clues, then having Kakashi ask is enough.

The more important aspect of having the summoned beasts participate in the meeting at this time is the issue of the development of the ninja world.

The location of the summoning beasts, although often described as a summoning secret realm, is actually just a place rarely visited by ninjas.

If the ninja world begins to change, the living environment of the summoned beasts will certainly change as well.

The best approach is to address potential problems in advance, rather than trying to fix them after they've already happened.

"I think everyone has witnessed the development of the ninja world in recent years, and even the living environment of some clans has been affected," Kitahara Kaede said.

This was true, and the summoned beasts all nodded silently.

Some of the weaker groups of spirit beasts live in environments very close to humans.

For example, the ninja dog clan of Konoha is famous for its cooperation with the Inuzuka clan.

The ninja dogs live in the vicinity of Konoha.

“I think most of you who are summoning beasts have heard the story of the Divine Tree to some extent. That thing can, in turn, increase the total energy of the ninja world,” Kitahara Kaede said.

If anyone here still doesn't understand Kitahara Kaede's meaning after all this, then they are not worthy of being here as representatives.

"Lord Kitahara Kaede, do you intend to release the energy of the Divine Tree Fruit into the ninja world?" Princess Ichikishima asked earnestly.

This is not only beneficial to ninjas, but also extremely beneficial to summoned beasts.

An increase in the world's energy means a surge in natural energy!

Beings like Princess Ichikishima and Master Shima can increase the power of their Sage Arts as natural energy increases!

It's even possible that more spirit beasts practicing immortal arts might be born in the three holy lands!

Orochi Shinja might go even further and become someone like Ichikishima-hime.

"I do have that plan, but I think everyone knows about those mysterious enemies. Doubling the energy of the ninja world would benefit the enemy as well." Kitahara Kaede paused here.

The summoned beasts immediately understood Kitahara Kaede's meaning! Kitahara Kaede would not allow the God Tree Fruit to be used in the ninja world unless these mysterious enemies were dealt with!

"Lord Kitahara Kaede, Ryuchi Cave will be sending out a large number of snakes to investigate clues about the enemy!" Princess Ichikishima said very seriously.

Princess Ichikishima could easily manage the mobilization of snakes that didn't possess much talent.

Knowing that Kitahara Kaede could raise the energy level of the ninja world, even the White Snake Sage would be compelled to make such a decision!

"Fellow ninjas, Ryuchi Cave will restrain snakes from attacking humans, but we also hope that humans will not harm them when they see snakes!" Princess Ichikishima said politely to the ninjas.

She acted just like a lady from a respectable family!

“The number of toads on Mount Myōboku is not as large as the number of snakes in Ryūchi Cave, but we will still send out a large number of them. However, we still hope to be able to operate separately from Ryūchi Cave,” said Master Shima.

While toads are a part of the snakes' diet and their top-level fighting abilities are similar, young toads have no chance of defeating snakes of the same age.

Although toads are poisonous, the success rate of food fighting off predators is extremely low.

"The lizard clan will also be involved," the little lizard said.

"The ape clan mainly explores the forest environment, and we hope to cooperate with the ninja dog clan!" the little monkey said.

The representative of the ninja dog clan nodded.

"In that case, the toad clan can explore along the inland waterways, while the snake clan can focus on exploring swamps and bushes. As for the lizard clan, I remember that some members of your clan seem to be able to move around in desert and rocky environments?"

Kitahara Kaede arranged it.

"The lizard race can adapt to combat in any environment!" the little lizard said.

The lizard race is a very large group, with types that can move in various environments.

The little lizard's words made the ninjas present somewhat expectant!

The ninjas were not unfamiliar with the story of the City of Shouqi, especially after hearing about the Shouqi lizard from the summoning beasts of the three holy lands, which in itself demonstrated the power of the lizard clan.

For a Kage-level being, a powerful summoning beast is also an excellent asset!

It's important to know that many powerful Shadow-level experts also achieved their status through the use of 710 spirit beasts!

For example, the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki; Danzo Shimura of Konoha; and Hanzo the Salamander, the demigod of the ninja world, from Amegakure.

Being able to sign a contract with the lizard clan can greatly enhance a ninja's strength.

"As for the other groups, each of you should choose your partners and then plan the area you intend to explore. It doesn't matter if the areas overlap."

Kitahara Kaede said.

After all, the enemy can hide, and no one knows if they can block a certain detection method.

If the summoning beasts' reconnaissance covers the entire ninja world, then the chances of uncovering enemy intelligence will be much greater.

Kitahara Kaede has already offered benefits, and the summoned beasts will not slack off in order to obtain such benefits!

After all, the benefits of increasing the energy of the ninja world for ninjas are far less than those for summoning beasts!

The three sacred sites for summoning spirit beasts are just three places with more concentrated natural energy!

After Kitahara Kaede uses the Divine Tree Fruit in the ninja world, it may give rise to more sacred lands for summoning beasts!

"As for the conflict between the snake clan and the toad clan, let the two sides weigh it themselves. All I need is the result," Kitahara Kaede said.

Snakes preying on toads is a natural selection process... If Kitahara Kaede is interfering in even that, then he's going too far.

Chapter 845 Scope

The meeting thus came to an end halfway through.

This meeting was just a preliminary collaboration; as long as everyone reached a consensus, it would be a complete success.

Moreover, most of the meeting was broadcast live, so almost everyone in the ninja world was aware of its content.

Even those who don't like watching live streams will find out about the content through conversations with people around them over the next few days.

Therefore, there is no need to spend much time and energy dealing with these matters.

"Next, we'll head back to Konoha," Kitahara Kaede said.

After these important matters were temporarily concluded, he was finally able to take a short rest.

“After A and Onoki return, they should be able to get their village's strategists to Konoha soon,” Tsunade said from the side.

“That’s for sure. They might even have to escort them themselves. As long as we don’t understand the enemy’s objectives, we won’t have a way to deal with them,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Those mysterious enemies launched attacks on both Kusagakure and Kirigakure, but surprisingly, there were no casualties reported.

This behavior is also quite different from that of an enemy in the conventional sense.

"You didn't actually intend to kill that intelligence officer at first, did you?" Kakashi asked.

“If they hadn’t shown hostility during the meeting, I would have preferred to arrest him and interrogate him for information. It’s just that their timing was too unfortunate. I have to show my strength to make those guys from the small ninja village seriously consider my opinion.” Kitahara Kaede said, shaking his head.

“A strong person must let everyone know that they are strong before they will calm down and consider how to cater to their ideas,” Tsunade said with a sigh.

"Back when Kitahara Kaede was just a child, he was already a strong person. It's just a pity that they seem to have forgotten that over the past ten years." Kakashi sighed as well.

This meeting could have been simpler and more convenient, but the lack of fear among the ninjas forced Kitahara Kaede to choose this method to proceed.

"Let's hold the second half of the meeting in Konoha. This time, we can also take Mifune to Konoha to open a kendo dojo." Kitahara Kaede smiled.

Mifune's swordsmanship is already among the best in the ninja world.

Even after Tobirama Senju was resurrected and used the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship, he could not gain the upper hand against Mifune.

In terms of pure swordsmanship, Mifune is at the very top of the ninja world.

"How did you manage to convince that stubborn old man, Mifune?" Tsunade asked curiously.

To be honest, Mifune's personality is only slightly better than Onoki's, and in terms of stubbornness, Mifune is even more stubborn than Onoki.

“I agreed to give Mifune the method he wanted to take to the next level,” Kitahara Kaede said.

In reality, this issue is nothing more than giving Mifune a fruit from the Divine Tree. As for whether he can become a powerful being of order, that depends on whether Mifune's understanding of swordsmanship can support his comprehension of order.

However, in Kitahara Kaede's view, Mifune is indeed the most likely person in the ninja world to become a strongman of order at this time.

"In this way, the children of Konoha will be the first to come into contact with orthodox swordsmanship, and Konoha will once again be at the forefront of the ninja world," Tsunade said with a sigh.

“This isn’t a bad thing, and didn’t you see that neither Ai nor Onoki raised any objections?” Kitahara Kaede said.

“They also hope their village will become better, but they won’t be jealous of Konoha anymore. After all, you were born in Konoha,” Kakashi said.

Although Kitahara Kaede appears to be more concerned about the overall state of the ninja world, everyone knows that he is a member of Konoha.

Kitahara Kaede's actions in ensuring benefits for everyone in the ninja world were already incredibly generous. Even if he simply allowed Konoha to unify the ninja world, there would be no other way to stop him.

But Kitahara Kaede didn't do that; a smart person like Ai wouldn't make things difficult for himself.

"Alright, there are still many things to do after returning to Konoha. I just wonder if my old friends feel a little unfamiliar with me now?" Kitahara Kaede said.

Kakashi, who had returned to Konoha earlier, knew the answer to this question, but he was hesitant to comment.

Should we tell Kitahara Kaede that those little girls are still waiting for him to come back even though they've all grown up?

It was rather strange to hear such words coming from his mouth.

"You'll find out when you get back. Your performance at the meeting really made you a hit with the younger generation," Kakashi said.

That was all he could say at this point. Could he possibly tell Kitahara Kaede that he was surrounded by a group of girls who kept asking him about Kitahara Kaede after he got back?

This was Kakashi's mischievous side; he wanted to see if Kitahara Kaede would be at a loss.

"By the way, have you already notified Orochimaru?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

"Orochimaru is very interested in things in the universe. If he weren't restricted in his movements, he might be standing in front of you right now," Tsunade said.

Now Tsunade finally understands Orochimaru's pursuit. Having truly witnessed the vastness of the universe, Tsunade inevitably develops a curiosity about the unknown.

"Have you prepared the materials for the Second Hokage and the First Hokage's Edo Tensei resurrection? I'll revive them when I get back. And Naruto's parents too; Naruto has probably been waiting for a long time," Kitahara Kaede said.

This was something that made everyone present happy.

Itachi Uchiha hesitated, seemingly wanting to speak but unsure how to begin.

"As for the Uchiha clan, I plan to revive Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha first. Itachi, you probably have a lot to say to your parents, right?" Kitahara (Zhao Dede) Feng said.

Uchiha Itachi bowed deeply to Kitahara Kaede with utmost sincerity; the gratitude he felt was beyond words.

“Sasuke has probably received the news too; he should be on his way back to Konoha now,” Kakashi said.

"But Shikamaru is probably too busy right now, isn't he? After all, his whole family are Konoha's strategists. When the strategist meeting comes, everyone needs to be careful about security," Kitahara Kaede said with a chuckle.

Holding the think tank meeting in Konoha is definitely not a bad thing.

At this time, Konoha was the only village with the capability and strength to confront the attack from the mysterious enemy.

This can be seen as a probe into the enemy's target. If they take this opportunity to attack other villages, then the problem will become more complicated.

If the attack is directed at Konoha, where Kitahara Kaede resides, then the scope of consideration can be significantly narrowed down.

Chapter 846 Resurrection Plan

"My great-grandfather and second great-grandfather would probably be very happy to see you," Tsunade said.

"Guess what the first question they'll ask me is?" Kitahara Kaede said with ill intent.

"I guess they're asking if Kitahara Kaede helped the Senju clan continue their lineage," Kakashi said sarcastically.

These words immediately made Tsunade a little anxious.

Tsunade and Kitahara Kaede have a very good relationship. If it weren't for that battle that lasted for more than ten years for Tsunade, they probably wouldn't have dragged it out until now.

That battle between Kitahara Kaede and Otsutsuki Shinou caused Kitahara Kaede to miss out on a lot.

"That's a question for Tsunade," Kitahara Kaede changed the subject, clearly trying to avoid the issue.

“Our lifespans are already infinite, so a little bit of time is really nothing,” Tsunade said.

"Alright, if we continue this topic, I might run away. But I remember that after Nawaki died in battle, his body was buried in Konoha, right?"

Kitahara Kaede said.

Reviving Nawaki is not difficult, and as the last legitimate son bearing the Senju surname, Nawaki is of great significance.

More importantly, Nawaki is Tsunade's younger brother and Orochimaru's disciple!

Furthermore, if Nawaki is revived first, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju will probably not focus their attention on Kaede Kitahara.

"Yes, I'm sure of that!" Tsunade said somewhat anxiously.
