I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

Those guys can even shield him from the power of time; if they could just grab him so easily, they wouldn't need to be so cautious.

"The ninja world needs to be on guard. My enemies may come from outer space, and that's something I need to mention," Kitahara Kaede said.

According to Kitahara Kaede's guess, the previous enemies might have been from the future.

But that doesn't mean the universe is entirely peaceful.

The remnants of the Otsutsuki clan have not yet been eliminated, and even the current ninja world is unable to send anyone out to clean up the remnants of the Otsutsuki clan.

In this situation, vigilance must be prepared.

So that we don't wait until the enemy is already in front of us before we realize there's a problem.

“Sense-sensing ninjas are treasures of every major ninja village, so I don’t plan to have them gather together for a show. Can the sense-sensing ninjas of the five major ninja villages cover the entire ninja world?” Kitahara Kaede asked.

This rule also applies to the small ninja village.

They don't need to gather the sensory ninjas to be on guard, but Kitahara Kaede needs a guarantee!

That means the perception and alert range of each village must be able to cover the entire ninja world!

"This is somewhat difficult. The sensory ninjas of the great ninja villages can only monitor that range when all of them enter sensory mode simultaneously..."

Ai shook her head.

The Hidden Cloud Village cannot afford this level of vigilance.

“The same goes for the Iwa ninja.” Onoki shook his head as well.

“Konoha can do it,” Tsunade said.

It's no exaggeration to say that Konoha is full of talented people! Putting aside everything else, as long as the Hyuga clan is willing to take on this task, the security within Konoha can be done well.

“The Sand Shinobi can’t do it,” Gaara said seriously.

He has already begun to focus on training his village's sensory ninjas.

Although Ai and Onoki both said that their villages couldn't do it, the truth is that the area of ​​those two villages was too large.

For sensory ninjas, the range of their perception is also determined by their strength!

Like Tobirama Senju, he could tell whose chakra was in a certain place from a great distance.

This range of perception is the result of both talent and ability.

"If the Uzumaki clan still existed, that would be great. Kagura's Mind's Eye from the Uzumaki clan would be perfectly suited for this job," Tsunade said.

She was reminding Kitahara Kaede.

Since Kitahara Kaede was able to revive the Second and Fourth Mizukage, reviving the Uzumaki clan would not be difficult.

Previously, Kitahara Kaede's attitude towards resurrection was somewhat ambiguous, but now is a good opportunity, which is why Tsunade said that.

Tsunade has the bloodline of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans.

If possible, she would certainly want to save the Uzumaki clan!

"Kagura's mind-reading ability?" Kitahara Kaede muttered.

He glanced at Tsunade and already understood what she meant.

But it's inappropriate to discuss the issue of resurrection directly!

“I’ll figure something out, but I’ll have to make sure the village’s sensory ninjas and those investigating potential threats work hard during this time,” Kitahara Kaede said.

His statement would make the people of the small ninja village think that Kitahara Kaede was planning to develop some kind of sensory-based secret technique.

As for A and Onoki, they understood Tsunade's unspoken meaning!

The demise of the Uzumaki clan was somewhat inevitable.

A physique capable of serving as a Jinchūriki, coupled with powerful sealing techniques! This kind of being is far too dangerous.

The same applies to Konoha!

Chapter 839 Teachings

In some unknown corner of the ninja world, a group of people with Rinnegan were gathering together.

They are monitoring Kitahara Kaede's situation through something that looks quite high-tech.

"So, has he figured out what's going on with us?"

"I think it's very likely; he's never been someone who's easily fooled."

"Perhaps we should try a different approach?"

"Things have come to this point; we're now adversaries. What other approach do you plan to take?"

"Perhaps we can go into the universe? The universe is so vast, we can always find an opportunity."

A group of people were talking all at once, but their voices were all exactly the same.

"How is the manufacture of the Sands of Time going?"

"It's only enough to support one operation. If we act according to my plan, then we'll have to wait a while longer."

"The situation is clear now. We cannot defeat Kitahara Kaede head-on, but there are some things we have to do."

"Then let's keep trying. Perhaps going into space to trick Kitahara Kaede into leaving would be a good option."

The group was still chattering away, each expressing their own ideas, but they clearly didn't have a clear leader.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this, taking things one step at a time.

……

"This Shinobi World Conference will be longer than the ones to come. This is because there are many things that need to be set in this conference."

Ai sighed and said.

He was speaking to the leaders of the small ninja villages surrounding him.

Meetings always require some breaks, and even though these small ninja village leaders don't have much strength, they still have some discernment.

They probably sensed Ai's attitude towards Kitahara Kaede, which is why they chose to approach Ai at this moment to ask about the inside story.

"Lord Raikage, you know our demands. We just want to live a good life. Whether we rely on Kumogakure as before or someone else, it's the same."

"All we've ever wanted is to live with dignity. We're worried that Kitahara Kaede might change."

The people from the Little Ninja Village said with some concern.

In fact, this was something Ai had worried about before, after all, who can guarantee that their thoughts will never change from beginning to end?

“Your worries are actually meaningless. If Kitahara Kaede changes his mind, do you think you will have the power to oppose him?” Ai smiled.

Not only did the leaders of these small ninja villages not have it, but he didn't either.

However, Ai trusts Kitahara Kaede, a judgment he has made based on his battles over the past decade.

Kitahara Kaede is not a cold-hearted person; on the contrary, she values ​​relationships very much.

Moreover, Kitahara Kaede can be considered quite magnanimous, which may be related to his inherent cynicism and aloofness.

But Ai didn't value that.

“At least you don’t need to worry about anything for a while. Kitahara Kaede is someone you can trust. Even if he changes, it won’t happen during this period,” Ai said, and then left.

Kitahara Kaede's lifespan is almost infinite, so what is there for the people of the ninja world to worry about?

Was he worried that Kitahara Kaede would become a dictator like the Otsutsuki God King? Or was he worried that he would have to stay away from power forever?

From Ai's perspective, the leaders of these small ninja villages were more worried about the latter.

The frog at the bottom of the well can only see a patch of sky above its head, just like the dung beetle worrying that a lion will steal its dung ball—how ridiculous!

"Do you think the Raikage is someone we can rely on?"

"At least the Hidden Cloud Village does everything with great fanfare, and I don't want to be dependent on Onoki and Konoha."

"One of them was stubborn and tough, while the other, as a beneficiary of the system, still acted righteously."

Representatives from several small ninja villages discussed in hushed tones.

In the room next to them, Naruto and Tsunade were listening to their conversation.

Naruto's fists were clenched tightly, clearly indicating that he was not very calm.

"Grandma Tsunade, I believe I have always done my best since becoming Hokage, but why do people from smaller ninja villages speak of Konoha in this way?"

Naruto said, sounding somewhat distressed.

This scene made him start to reflect on the problems he had in the past.

"Naruto, to be honest, I'm not exactly a great Hokage, not even the First Hokage. The truly great Hokage are the Second and Third Hokage," Tsunade said listlessly.

He finally understood that there were no problems during the Second Hokage's tenure; his toughness and goodwill even made the Hidden Cloud Village willing to form a treaty with the Hidden Leaf Village.

As for the Third Hokage, although he used very dark methods and was willing to harm the interests of the village itself in order to secure his position.

However, in the Third Hokage's eyes, he had to exist as Hokage to ensure that the village's interests would not be lost in large quantities.

During the reign of the Third Hokage, although Konoha also experienced a period of decline from its peak, he did indeed slow down this process.

As for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, Tsunade couldn't offer much of an evaluation.

After all, Minato's tenure was too short, and many of his ideas were abandoned before they could be implemented.

“The Third Hokage… I can’t condone many of the things he did!” Naruto said.

These words weren't harsh; perhaps Naruto 700 had finally come to his senses.

“Of course you can’t understand, because he really was the best candidate to become Hokage at the time,” Tsunade sighed.

Those around the Second Hokage at that time included Akimichi Torifu, Uchiha Kagami, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, as well as Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

Of these people, Akatsuki Torifu and Uchiha Kagami could never become Hokage.

They may not have been without the idea of ​​sacrificing themselves at the time, but they also had the responsibility of maintaining the relationship between their clan and their village.

As representatives of the ninja clan, they were destined to be unable to become Hokage!

So all that's left are those old guys. Although the remaining four are also members of the ninja clan, their ninja clan isn't particularly outstanding.

This is their potential to become Hokage.

The latter two were not up to the task, which excluded them.

"Between Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who do you think is more suitable to be Hokage?" Tsunade asked softly.

She was teaching Naruto.

Kitahara Kaede wasn't really interested in the Hokage position, so Tsunade didn't intend to force him to take it.

Anyway, he's now considering the issues for the entire ninja world.

However, Konoha simply didn't have a more suitable candidate to be Hokage. Kitahara Kaede had previously planned to change the Hokage system.

Chapter 840 Naruto

Kakashi might be able to, but Kakashi is Naruto's senior, and there's no reason to let an older guy take over the Hokage position from a younger person.

So Tsunade-level players can only hope that Naruto can become more mature in his role as Hokage.

"If I had to choose, I probably wouldn't choose either," Naruto said with a sigh.

Tsunade couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

"You mean the Second Hokage should have sent Hiruzen Sarutobi as bait, and then returned to Konoha himself?" Tsunade almost laughed.

But upon closer reflection, it does seem that this is indeed the case.

If the Second Hokage hadn't died in battle, he would definitely have been able to lead Konoha to even greater heights.

It's not impossible that they could even annex other ninja villages through scheming and force.

If I had to say something, it would be that Shimura Danzo inherited the mantle of the Second Hokage.

“I’ve looked at the information on Konoha, and I can confirm that if the Second Hokage were alive, many things wouldn’t have turned out the way they are now,” Naruto said matter-of-factly.

"There are no 'what ifs' in this world. The fact is that Hiruzen Sarutobi was more suitable to be Hokage than Danzo Shimura at the time, because Konoha was truly powerless to fight anymore," Tsunade said.

At that time, the Second Hokage and the Second Raikage died at the hands of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, which had already put the two villages on the verge of war.

If Danzo were to take office, he might not use this as a reason to start a war, but he would certainly demand compensation from the Hidden Cloud Village.

In this way, all of the Second Hokage's previous efforts to form an alliance with the Cloud Ninja would be in vain.
