“Although I know that the knowledge and abilities you have now and the future you are not on the same level, I think you should at least have some basic knowledge that will not change,” Tsunade said.

If we were to ask who among those present understood Orochimaru best, it would be her.

Moreover, as a powerful being who has mastered the order of life, Tsunade is not a novice in the field of artificial life.

The only difference between them is in their understanding of the subject.

“Once the enemy’s body samples are sent to Konoha, I can help you study them. But right now, I really have no clue what to do,” Orochimaru said, frowning.

Asking someone to say anything before seeing the actual item is indeed asking too much.

"By the way, if I change now, will I change in the future?" Orochimaru asked.

"It's not that simple. It's that what I believe in the present will influence what I believe in the future. You should think about why my level is called the Dominator," Kitahara Kaede said.

As soon as the answer was uttered, Orochimaru immediately understood.

"It could be said that how this world will become depends entirely on whether you approve of it?" Orochimaru asked.

But he already had the answer in his heart.

Tobirama Senju, who was standing to the side, simply listened, and he understood what Orochimaru meant.

He didn't care what impact this might have, because he trusted Kitahara Kaede.

No matter what, he was one of the witnesses to Kitahara Kaede's growth, and he trusted his own judgment.

Although Tobirama Senju wasn't particularly fond of the concept of the Will of Fire, he believed in Kitahara Kaede's character!

"So all of this is entirely your will. If the enemy really comes from the future, then it must have gained your approval," Orochimaru said.

He had already been very subtle in his words.

He practically said that Kitahara Kaede believed it was necessary to do this because it was all "future" before he would tacitly allow such a thing to happen.

"I've already said some things to Tsunade and the others before: I exist and exist now!" Kitahara Kaede emphasized his words.

He exists in the present, so his future and past selves are all based on his present self.

As for whether those enemies appeared with Kitahara Kaede's tacit approval, Kitahara Kaede did not believe it.

His current will will inevitably influence his future self; this is the true nature of Kitahara Kaede's power.

"Perhaps you were held up by something, or perhaps you weren't even in the ninja world at the time?" Tsunade said.

This kind of thing has happened before.

Previously, while they were being hunted down by the Otsutsuki clan, Kitahara Kaede was engaged in a long battle with the Otsutsuki god-king.

If an enemy of Kitahara Kaede's caliber were to emerge in the future, it wouldn't be impossible for people in the ninja world to harbor some ulterior motives.

This is something that the ninja world has already proven. Back when Hashirama Senju was invincible, weren't the other ninja villages secretly developing their own strength?

The purpose is simply to gain more benefits when the opportunity arises.

If Kitahara Kaede gets involved with some enemy, then it's normal for some ambitious people to appear in the ninja world.

“That’s the strangest thing. A, Onoki ‘720’, and Mei Terumi—that’s the opinion of the three great ninja villages. Adding our Konoha, I really can’t imagine where a new ambitious person will emerge from,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Although the small ninja village may have an opportunity to develop because of Kitahara Kaede's intentions, even if the overall strength of the ninja world increases tenfold, the gap between the small ninja village and the large ninja village will only widen!

If the strength of a major ninja village like Konoha can be considered a 10, then even the weakest of the major ninja villages, Sunagakure, would be a 5.

Even the strongest ninja village, Amegakure, including Nagato and Konan, only has a strength of around seven points.

Others, like the Grass Ninja Village, are only a small part of it.

If everyone's score increases tenfold, then the difference between ten points and one hundred points is ninety points.

Previously, the difference was only nine points.

There is no doubt that a small ninja village does not have the strength to overthrow a large ninja village.

"You mean a certain powerful ninja village is secretly supporting the enemy?" Tobirama Senju asked, deep in thought.

There are also some unusual aspects.

A ninja world developed according to Kitahara Kaede's wishes should not have become fertile ground for ambitious individuals.

"Could it be another planet?" Orochimaru asked.

"The ninja world is bound to expand. If those enemies come from the future, then we need to find out just how far into the future they come from. After the ninja world develops, it will inevitably expand outwards. At that time, the ninja world may not be entirely inhabited by native ninjas," Orochimaru added.

This idea is valuable and quite likely to happen.

The Otsutsuki clan is a case in point; it took them thousands of years to realize that something unexpected might have happened in the ninja world.

When the ninja world becomes powerful enough, its concept of time will also change.

“It’s not impossible, but this problem seems to be getting more and more complicated,” Tsunade said.

“As long as we end them now, it won’t matter how far into the future they come from,” Kitahara Kaede said.

He felt a surge of annoyance, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

These enemies didn't give Kitahara Kaede a sense of crisis, but they were as annoying as a swarm of flies!

"I have news!" Kakashi suddenly appeared beside Kitahara Kaede and said.

He had just obtained traces of the enemies from the snakes in Ryuchi Cave, and now he was here immediately to deliver this information.

"In a cave in the Land of Rice Fields, Ryuchi Cave suffered a massive loss of snakes! Even several large snakes were lost!" Kakashi said.

For the snakes of Ryuchi Cave, the loss of only a few small snakes is quite normal.

Although they are summoned beasts, the weaker ones can still be preyed upon.

But at the level of Orochi, it is not something that any animal naturally bred in the ninja world can kill.

Moreover, everyone in the ninja world is currently investigating information about the mysterious enemy, so it's unlikely that some rogue ninja would do such a thing!

Because they simply cannot afford the consequences of doing so!

More importantly, those snakes won't attack ninjas rashly! They'll only act after they've identified their target!

“I thought you would have Kai-sensei send me a message and you would get to that spot first,” Kitahara Kaede said.

The power of time enveloped Kitahara Kaede and Tsunade in the next moment, ensuring their safety during the battle.

As for Kakashi, he can be teleported directly there; Kitahara Kaede doesn't need to take him along.

As for Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru, their current strength might be dangerous if they went to the scene, so it's better for them to stay here.

“I’ll have a good talk with Orochimaru. After all, I analyzed his actions before, and I feel like this guy is quite interesting…” Tobirama Senju said.

He stated that he would keep a close eye on Orochimaru during this period.

As someone who was also skilled in research, he knew what Orochimaru would think after obtaining so much information.

It would be normal to immediately begin further research into artificial life.

But this is not a good thing for Konoha, which is why Tobirama Senju said that!

"I'll leave Konoha to you for now. If there are any problems you can't handle, Guy-sensei and Itachi Uchiha will step in." After saying that, Kitahara Kaede led Tsunade towards the Land of Rice Fields!

The exact location will be revealed by the snake in Ryuchi Cave once Kitahara Kaede arrives at that place.

After Kitahara Kaede and the others left, Senju Tobirama glanced at Orochimaru.

"Orochimaru, tell me about the changes in the ninja world over the years. Don't even think about leaving my sight." Tobirama Senju said, patting Orochimaru on the shoulder.

Orochimaru's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

He knew that Tobirama Senju had left the Flying Thunder God mark on him with his previous actions. With this mark, he would have no chance of escaping Tobirama Senju's assassination attempt before becoming a Six Paths level powerhouse.

"As expected of the Second Hokage, who has a tough hand. This might be the best threat to someone like me." Orochimaru smiled.

However, he wouldn't be completely indifferent to it.

Tobirama Senju was also aware of this. Orochimaru was like a snake; even after he died, he would use his head to bite his enemy and inject venom if given the chance!

This would create enmity, but Tobirama Senju didn't care!

He was confident that he could break through to the Six Paths level faster than Orochimaru, taking the lead by one step! That meant taking the lead every step of the way!

They were originally the same type of ninja! They used countless secret and forbidden techniques to enhance their fighting power!

Now that Tobirama Senju has awakened the Sage Body and Wood Release, dealing with Orochimaru shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"I believe in your abilities, but I'm more worried about the trouble you might cause." Tobirama Senju wasn't going to make any excuses!

"That's the difference between you and the Sixth Hokage, which is why the Sixth Hokage is considered naive," Orochimaru chuckled.

Chapter 859 Intelligence

Inside the cave in the Land of Fields, only a pile of flesh and blood remained.

The giant snakes that explored this place turned into corpses before they even had a chance to see anything!

Those mysterious enemies also knew that their location had been exposed, so leaving the scene was the best option.

"Lord Kitahara Kaede, this is the location where their tracks were previously discovered," Princess Ichikishima said respectfully.

According to the usual procedure, once Orochi is unable to transmit information, it is Ichikishima-hime's turn to take action herself.

However, she did not do that. Instead, she made several attempts to confirm that there were no enemies in the cave before coming here.

The snake immortals of Ryūchi Cave are all very selfish, so their actions are understandable.

After all, to them, even snakes that have reached the level of ten thousand snakes are just subordinates and expendable resources.

It's not easy to win the hearts of these snake immortals.

They only show a certain degree of obedience when facing a powerful opponent against whom they cannot resist, but even then, it's for their own benefit!

"Thank you for your hard work. There will be more natural energy in Ryuchi Cave then. This is my guarantee," Kitahara Kaede said.

Kitahara Kaede had no intention of developing a relationship with these snake immortals.

These guys, as users of immortal arts, would not treat themselves as mere summoned beasts to be at Kitahara Kaede's beck and call.

Exchanging benefits is the safest and most convenient approach.

"Then I thank you in advance, Lord Kitahara Kaede." After saying this, Princess Ichikishima stepped aside, no longer interfering with Kitahara Kaede's observation of the surrounding situation.

"It was purely physical strength that allowed them to achieve this level, and the Sands of Time they used before were also present on the ground. This is definitely the location where they hid before," Kitahara Kaede said.

These guys were quite well-prepared to prevent Kitahara Kaede from manipulating time to learn the content of their conversations.

"It looks like they've been here for quite a while, but there's no sign of them living here at all!" Kakashi said.

Besides the flesh and blood of the giant snake, there were only traces of a bear living in this cave!

There was no fire lit, and there were no excrement or food residues.

It is already quite unusual to be able to achieve this level.

Even if they used the ninja's usual soldier pills to deal with it, it would still leave a trace!

Moreover, military ration pills are more for quickly replenishing the body's nutritional deficiencies, and their effect of providing a feeling of fullness and convenience is relatively average.

“These guys might have a different physical structure than humans in the ninja world, which reminds me of the vegetative state patients of the Otsutsuki clan,” Kitahara Kaede said.

He was talking about those White Zetsu!

The Otsutsuki clan rarely trains White Zetsu.

This effect is due to the energy derived from the fruit of the divine tree.

The Otsutsuki clan only needs the Divine Tree, not such ordinary tools.

“But there is a limit to the strength of White Zetsu. If it is White Zetsu, its body should not be made of flesh and blood,” Tsunade said.

She had seen the shattered body parts of the enemy before; they were pure flesh and blood.

The difference between them and something like White Zetsu is enormous!

"Perhaps it's some kind of new technology we've never seen before. Maybe we'll find out once Mei Terumi and her group arrive in Konoha," Kitahara Kaede said.

Orochimaru and the Senju Tobirama clan will be involved in the research; they will surely be able to discover any problems that arise.

"But these guys have disappeared again. Will they continue this hiding and running?" Kakashi was a little worried!
