I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Just as Temari trusted Kitahara Kaede, he also trusted Kitahara Kaede.

It's just that this kind of trust isn't as pure as Temari's.

"Don't worry, everything will be alright." Temari could only comfort her younger brother with these seemingly empty words.

But she knew this was the inevitable future, though she couldn't explain it to Gaara right now.

"After we leave, let's leave the affairs of Sand Village to Master Maki. Perhaps we're still too slow in training young people," Gaara sighed.

Then he grabbed the Wind Shadow Hat from the table and prepared to set off.

The candidate has been chosen; all that's left is to say no.

The previous Shinobi World Conference was still fresh in Gaara's mind, which made him look forward to this meeting.

"Teacher Maki will take good care of the village," Temari said with a smile.

Chapter 871 Enemies

The two enemies who had escaped from Kai and his group were healing their wounds.

In order to avoid being found by those ubiquitous spirit beasts, they even slaughtered all living creatures within a large area.

This approach would allow Kitahara Kaede and his group to pinpoint their approximate location, but it's still better than having their exact location known to others.

"Number Four is dead. What exactly does the leader mean by this?"

One of the disheveled guys spoke up.

"Don't worry about this. Attacking the enemy is something we have to do. We have to thwart whatever Kitahara Kaede wants to achieve."

The other person, however, appeared more resolute.

"So you're trying to get what Kitahara Kaede possesses through this method? Do you really think this is the right thing to do? Kitahara Kaede is only described in four words in the records: 'God among men'!"

The first person to speak showed strong resistance.

He seemed to have a deep sense of awe towards Kitahara Kaede.

“If you could have done it better, you should have said so from the beginning, instead of complaining here when our actions have failed.”

"I don't have a better way, but I think the leader doesn't really have any way either. He's just causing destruction, even sacrificing our lives!"

"Once we arrived in this era, we had no choice. Moreover, our existence has gradually rendered the intelligence we possess useless!"

"I know I'm just complaining. We've lost two of our comrades, and now we don't even have a chance of success!"

The two were still arguing, but they didn't stop what they were doing.

These guys have a purpose, but they seem to have no idea how to achieve it.

The only person who truly knows the truth is the "leader" they're talking about.

After the two men had gone some distance, another guy appeared in the same spot.

This guy is the "leader" they were talking about.

"We can't be partners with Kitahara Kaede. I understand that you don't know this. As long as you don't betray us, everything will be fine."

The leader simply stood there watching his two companions walk away, seemingly with some other thoughts in mind.

But at this time, there was no one to listen.

After the "leader" finished speaking (bddg), he waved his hand, causing the ground to sink three meters. Blood immediately seeped from the ground.

He didn't care whether the thing underground that was listening to them was a toad, a snake, or something else entirely.

As long as their intelligence can remain secret during this period, that's enough!

It wasn't long before the remnants of the Otsutsuki clan, whom they knew, arrived in the ninja world!

……

Kai and the others have returned to Konoha and went directly to the Hokage's office with A and Mei Terumi.

"I feel that the Hokage's office needs to be made bigger, at least big enough to fit a sofa for entertaining guests," Tobirama Senju said with a smile.

After his resurrection, he smiled more and more often.

He used to be meticulous and had a serious, unapproachable look, but now he always has a smile on his face.

"Second Grandfather, have you ever thought that the Hokage's office isn't a place for entertaining people?" Tsunade joked.

"Kai, tell me what's going on," Kitahara Kaede asked.

"The enemy's strength cannot be described as weak. I'm quite certain from his appearance that he intended to open the Gate of Death! Even if the enemy's physical attributes only reached the level of an Orderly Strongman, opening the Gate of Death would still pose a huge threat." Kai appeared very serious.

He just has a somewhat eccentric way of doing things, but he doesn't have any problems with intelligence analysis or similar tasks.

No matter what, he was originally a Jonin of Konoha. A person who only knows how to fight can never become a proper Jonin.

Jonin who lack overall strength are generally classified as Special Jonin.

Guy is a formal Jonin, but he just seems a bit unreliable in some aspects.

“But you stopped him before he could open the Gate of Death, which shows that they are not very proficient in the Eight Gates,” Kitahara Kaede said.

“Yes, the power boost he gained from opening the seventh gate is probably only comparable to mine when I opened the fourth gate. Clearly, that enemy isn’t the type who specializes in physical combat.” Kai nodded.

Specialization and general knowledge are not the same thing at all.

Although it's often said that Kai and Lee are the type who lack talent, in physical skills, hard work is the greatest talent!

Moreover, their physical attributes are so good that calling them geniuses in the field of martial arts is not an exaggeration.

Talents also differ; a genius with quick thinking has high comprehension.

Kai and Li are the type with excellent physical conditions, or rather, their physical limits are easier to break than others.

They are considered to lack talent simply because their "limits" are reached very quickly, but the truth is quite the opposite.

“Kai, you’re underestimating yourself a bit. Your normal combat strength is already among the better ones of the Orderly Strong.” Kakashi said.

He couldn't stand his friend's constant "I'm not a genius, I'm not good" attitude.

In fact, even without opening the Eight Gates, Might Guy is definitely not weak among the strong of the Order.

Although he didn't possess the speed that Ai had achieved after mastering the order of speed, his speed was still beyond the reach of others.

Now, it can even survive after opening the eighth gate, but it will require a relatively long period of recuperation.

This level of combat power is among the top tier even for those who are powerful within the Order.

"It can only be said that the enemy doesn't have Kai's body, which has been tempered by countless trials, but why would they use physical techniques to fight Kai?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“That guy is indeed capable of launching attacks that ignore Mei Terumi’s order, but his methods of attack are much simpler,” Ai said.

Ai was still somewhat bothered by the fact that the enemy ultimately chose to completely erase his own body.

He also realized that the methods the enemy had revealed all seemed to be inextricably linked to Konoha.

However, he also knew that this matter was not suitable to be discussed directly.

What he can discover, the people of Konoha can also discover. Ai never underestimates anyone.

"Has the enemy already infiltrated the great ninja village? If the enemy starts using different fighting methods next time, then this is a possible direction," Mei Terumi said seriously.

The enemy she first encountered didn't use any known methods, and it's not entirely wrong to assume that the enemy could grow stronger.

Chapter 872 Technology

“Perhaps things are much simpler than we think. They are people from the ninja world themselves, and may even be from a great ninja village,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"From a major ninja village in the future?" Kakashi asked.

"Perhaps it's Konoha. They keep blocking my grasp and perception of time, perhaps simply because they don't want me to see traces of time on them, and have never calculated the era in which they should have existed," Kitahara Kaede said.

“Perhaps something changed in the ninja world back then, and the root cause lies in the present? That’s why they chose to appear in our sight at this time!” Tsunade said.

There are some things that no one has ever done before, like how the simplest way to quickly stand an egg upright is to just tap it on the table.

While careful control of the center of gravity can achieve something similar, the effort required is on a completely different level.

“If that’s all there is to it, it means that most of our methods have already been exposed, and we may need to develop something new,” Onoki said sharply.

"Onoki, we may not have mastered the things we will master in the future yet. You don't necessarily think you can surpass your future self, do you?" Ai sneered.

“But it’s never wrong to learn new things. If they have very detailed information about us, they should know when we learned the new methods. If I learned them in advance, wouldn’t I be able to catch them off guard as well?” Onoki said.

"This world is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind! Enemies aren't a big problem, but your continuous progress is essential!" Kitahara Kaede said.

Kitahara Kaede's words set the tone for this matter.

If you just stubbornly stay where you are, many things will not be able to be implemented.

"Are you planning to send a portion of your people into space to deal with the remnants of the Otsutsuki clan?" Tobirama Senju asked.

“I had considered this before, but I think A and Onoki probably wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving the ninja world.” Kitahara Kaede smiled.

Those who have a foothold in the ninja world cannot go out with peace of mind until a new, capable strongman emerges in their village.

If everyone goes out together, it's fine; the development of the ninja world will remain within certain limits, and there won't be a situation where one person suddenly fights against a group.

But if they leave alone, their village will lose a powerful figure who can guide others.

They will inevitably fall behind in terms of strength and development!

It's not that I don't trust Kitahara Kaede, but this kind of thing has nothing to do with whether Kitahara Kaede is fair or not.

Even if everyone attends the same classroom, children who have private tutors will always learn better than other children.

Each village's own strongman of order is this family tutor!

“It’s not just us, I’m afraid Nagato and Konan are the same.” Ai shook his head.

Without Kitahara Kaede leading the team, the only people among the strong of the Order who possess overwhelming strength are Nagato and Guy who has opened the Eight Gates.

Konoha has many strong members of the Order, and it doesn't need another Guy.

However, Amegakure only has Nagato and Konan, and Amegakure was the one that was hurt before, so of course they wouldn't leave Amegakure with peace of mind.

Even if Konan were to stay, Nagato probably wouldn't feel at ease.

It can only be said that the great ninja village in the ninja world had caused too much damage to Amegakure, to the point that it affected Nagato's level of trust.

“All the powerful members of the Order who went out are from Konoha. I guess you’re having some doubts, so let’s postpone this matter a little longer,” Kitahara Kaede said.

If all the powerful ninjas who represent the ninja world come from the same village, then suspicion is bound to arise.

For example, the question of whether these people from Konoha would keep all the benefits for themselves and hide them from other villages is bound to arise.

Trust is not something that should be tested; no matter the outcome, trust will vanish.

“We need to find a way to produce new, capable individuals in our village, at least enough to handle the troubles within the ninja world,” A smiled.

He had no objection to this, although the man was not the type to be completely ignorant of intrigue and scheming.

But his trustworthiness and generosity are beyond question!

“Isn’t the training of elite Jonin for this purpose? What’s there to doubt?” Tobirama Senju said.

· ···Request flowers··· ······

Now, people from all the ninja villages receive the same training, and at least the ninjas from the major ninja villages have people they can learn from.

The goal of becoming stronger together remains unchanged, but that doesn't mean everyone should become equally strong.

Egalitarianism has already been proven to be the wrong path!

"I was just wondering if those strange guys' goals were related to what we're doing. After all, there's more than one way to become stronger than just cultivation," Ai said.

He was implying something; the Cloud Village had received information that the Iwa Village was planning to develop human body technology.

Although the source of this news cannot be confirmed, Ai does not believe it is baseless.

....... ... 0

He knew the situation in Iwagakure as well as Onoki knew about the ambitions of Kumogakure.

Once he was fairly certain that these enemies came from the future, it was hard for him not to connect this intelligence with what he already knew.

“Ai, you don’t need to test me. It’s true that Iwagakure was conducting research on human cloning before, but that was an order I left before we left the ninja world. It has nothing to do with the current Iwagakure. If there’s any mistake, it’s all my fault.” Onoki frankly stated the matter.

"Has there been any progress in this research by Iwagakure?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

“A child, now over ten years old, who can use Dust Release,” Onoki said directly.

In the past, the value of this information would not have been easily measured in the ninja world.
