I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

“The Fourth Hokage, huh? We’ve talked before. He’s a promising young man,” Tobirama Senju said.

Among the Hokage's crew, he only harbored resentment towards the Third Hokage.

The others also had their problems, but they were all qualified Hokage!

The most foolish thing the Third Hokage ever did was to delegate his power as Hokage to Danzo!

Once a breach is made, some things can never be closed again!

"I previously sent Itachi to collect the remains of the Uchiha clan members from back then, so let's revive Fugaku and his wife afterward," Kakashi asked.

“Yes, the resurrection of the Uchiha clan must be slowed down. They died with a lot of hatred in their hearts,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"Then I will use the Impure World Reincarnation technique!" Kakashi said somewhat anxiously.

He still misses his teacher very much.

"Um, I'll go and bring a death row inmate over right now!" Naruto was getting a little anxious at this point.

He also wanted to see his parents.

With a flash of golden light, Naruto disappeared from everyone's sight.

A few breaths later, Naruto appeared on the spot, holding a death row inmate!

"This kid's speed is almost catching up with space-time ninjutsu," Tobirama Senju said, squinting.

He sensed that Naruto was strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but start thinking about what preparations he would need to make if he were to fight Naruto.

“Naruto inherited the Yellow Flash’s talent, and he’s currently the strongest among the younger generation,” Kitahara Kaede said with a smile.

"But Grandpa, you just awakened Sage Mode and Wood Release. If it comes to a fight, you won't be much weaker than Naruto," Tsunade comforted him.

Tobirama Senju glanced at Tsunade with a hint of helplessness.

"He is the current Hokage, why should I fight him?" Tobirama Senju retorted.

Tsunade just smiled.

Although Tobirama Senju died in battle when she began to remember things, her childhood memories remained clear after she became a powerful figure in the Order.

Chapter 856 A Flash of Inspiration!

"This is... Edo Tensei? You're Kakashi?" Minato Namikaze's first words after being resurrected were very similar to Tobirama Senju's.

“Yes, Minato-sensei, you will be able to revive soon,” Kakashi said.

Naruto stared wide-eyed at his father.

He wanted to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to start!

Although he had already met his father when he reached a cooperation agreement with the Nine Lamas back then.

But this was the first time he had met his father in real life.

"Resurrected? How can I be resurrected?" Minato Namikaze was still somewhat bewildered.

Although consciousness exists in the Pure Land, time has no effect on them.

So at this point, Minato Namikaze was still in a somewhat confused state.

"You'll find out soon enough," Kitahara Kaede said.

As he spoke, Kitahara Kaede demonstrated the procedure he had used before.

With the life force of the death row inmate fully integrated into Minato Namikaze's body, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha was finally resurrected.

"Ah, isn't this Kitahara Kaede?" Namikaze Minato said, somewhat bewildered.

He saw a reflection of himself in Kitahara Kaede from back then, which is why he asked about it.

“Yes, it’s been more than a decade since I last saw Kitahara Kaede. Minato’s son is now the Sixth Hokage,” Kakashi said.

"Naruto, why don't you take Minato-sensei for a tour and show him around Konoha? You two probably have a lot to talk about," Kakashi suggested.

He didn't think it was a wise decision to tell Minato Namikaze about the changes in the ninja world again at this time.

Kitahara Kaede was clearly not the type to be idle.

Naruto nodded to the side, and then left the Hokage's office with Minato Namikaze.

Naruto was naive, not stupid; he understood Kakashi's implied meaning.

"So you still have something to tell me?" Tobirama Senju asked.

"The previous conversation was just to help you get used to this completely different ninja world, Grandpa. What's next is the important thing," Tsunade said.

"I wanted to ask about the enemy from the beginning, but none of you followed up on that topic," Tobirama Senju said.

He walked directly behind the Hokage's desk and sat down, clearly intending to discuss the matter at length.

Regarding the enemy, the more detailed the intelligence, the better.

“I previously suspected that those enemies came from the future. Although there is no concrete evidence, they know a lot about us, which is enough for me to believe that this conjecture is correct,” Kitahara Kaede said.

"We've only been back from space for a short time, and those enemies have already come up with quite a few things that are specifically designed to counter our abilities," Tsunade added.

Tobirama Senju listened and pondered.

"Have you considered that they might be trying to warn you? They don't seem to have caused any serious casualties, right?" Tobirama Senju asked.

“I’ve considered it, but their approach is wrong. If it’s about giving a warning, they might as well just send a letter.” Kitahara Kaede shook his head.

Clearly, Kitahara Kaede did not believe these guys were well-intentioned.

No goodwill needs to be disguised as malice! Such actions have no other reason than to demonstrate their hostility!

"So what is their reason for provoking us? The enemy wouldn't launch an attack without a reason, especially something so obviously unprofitable," Tobirama Senju said.

Even if a madman attacks an ordinary person, there must be a reason for the madman.

It's just that this reason is something that most people can't understand.

However, these enemies did not show any purpose when they launched their attacks.

This behavior is highly unusual!

"I think it might be for some kind of treasure in the universe. After all, the Otsutsuki clan is a thing of the past. They have no chance of obtaining any more fruits from the Divine Tree in the short term," Kitahara Kaede said, offering his conjecture.

"The fruit of the Divine Tree can allow a person to directly enter the Six Paths level, but for us, the Six Paths level is not a powerful enemy," Tsunade added.

"This fruit must have other uses, do you know them?" Tobirama Senju asked.

As a highly skilled scientific researcher, Tobirama Senju got straight to the point.

“It can double the total energy of a planet! Although there are still some issues with the efficiency of this utilization, I think this is the most noteworthy application,” Kitahara Kaede said.

“If the total energy of a planet doubles, can it only create one Six Paths level powerhouse? Something’s definitely not right here,” Tobirama Senju said.

A powerhouse at the Six Paths level is practically a god within a planet; there is nothing he cannot do within that planet's boundaries.

"The greatest characteristic of a Six Paths level expert is not that they are almost invincible within a planet, but that they possess the power to survive in the universe," Kitahara Kaede said.

While traveling between planets is possible with adequate protective measures, a Shadow-level being could do it.

However, to survive in a vacuum environment using one's own body would require a level of power equivalent to the Six Paths.

"I don't think your enemies appeared for that reason. According to you, their strength has reached the Order level, right? Such strength shouldn't require the fruits of the Divine Tree to enhance themselves," Tobirama Senju asked with some doubt.

"Unless they have some kind of defect!" Kitahara Kaede had a sudden inspiration!

Based on current intelligence, the enemy may be androids from the future.

And it's possible that it's in Orochimaru's hands!

Orochimaru always leaves a backup plan for what he creates. Perhaps the flaw in its life force is a handle Orochimaru left to control those guys!

The fruit of the divine tree can replenish life force, which is its greatest and most obvious effect!

Perhaps the appearance of the enemy was simply a choice they had to make to survive longer!

"Vitality! The enemy I killed back then had a physical strength that reached the Order level, but there was something strange about it!"

Kitahara Kaede stated definitively.

“They have ways to shield our power, so they can also shield some of our senses!” Kitahara Kaede said.

"It seems you've figured something out, but turning a conjecture into fact requires evidence. Given your style, I imagine the evidence is already on its way, isn't it?" Tobirama Senju asked.

Kitahara Kaede nodded. The strategist from Kirigakure had already set off under Mei Terumi's escort and would arrive in Konoha soon!

Chapter 857 Orochimaru

“If the enemy really has such a weakness, then having Kakashi send them directly into space will solve the problem,” Tsunade said.

“But we can’t rush into something like this. If our guesses are wrong, or if the enemy changes, the outcome will be completely different,” Kakashi objected.

“I think it’s okay to take some risks if there’s a chance to solve this once and for all. But Kakashi, if you want to do this, you’ll at least need to pinpoint the enemy’s exact location,” Tobirama Senju said.

This topic has reached a point where it has once again fallen into silence.

If the enemy's location has already been exposed, it would be more convenient and safer to have Kitahara Kaede kill all the enemies directly than to have Kakashi make this attempt.

"The Heavenly Delivery Technique, the Heavenly Delivery Technique of the Cloud Village, can be used by them to defend against enemies when we are not present. If forced to do so, launching them into space is the best solution," Kitahara Kaede said.

These enemies are unlikely to appear in front of Kitahara Kaede rashly.

Even after the enemy's location is exposed, their most likely choice is not to gather their forces to challenge Kitahara Kaede, but to disperse and re-enter a state of concealment.

At this moment, thanks to the combined efforts of the summoned beasts and the ninjas, the enemy's space for maneuver is being continuously compressed.

But such an intense search effort can never become the norm.

"Can people from other ninja villages manage to put their enemies within the range of the Heavenly Delivery Technique?" Tobirama Senju wondered.

“They definitely know some of our intelligence, but if we’re certain they’re from the future, then we can change the situation by simply tampering with the records about us,” Kitahara Kaede said.

The power of time is terrifying and complex.

For Kitahara Kaede, there is only one truth about the power of time that he possesses that needs to be remembered!

That means everything is acting in the "present"!

As long as Kitahara Kaede is in the "present" state, then the enemy can only react according to the "present" state!

This is also the source of Kitahara Kaede's confidence in facing any enemy!

Even if there are powerful beings in this world who are at the same level as Kitahara Kaede, they can only fight Kitahara Kaede in the "present" environment.

The present is far more unshakeable than the future or the past!

"It seems that when we gather information on powerful beings of order, we'll have to rely on the most traditional method: word of mouth." Tobirama Senju sighed.

While word-of-mouth communication can ensure that information is not easily leaked, it can also gradually become distorted over time as it is passed.

History becomes legend, and legend becomes myth.

This is the inevitable result of word-of-mouth transmission.

"Once we deal with these enemies, we can change the way records are kept. They died in the 'present,' creating a closed loop for the future! They had no choice!"

Kitahara Kaede stated this with absolute certainty.

No one present could refute Kitahara Kaede's words, because he was the only one among them who had a grasp of time.

“Let’s go check on Orochimaru first. If he really is his creation from the future, then he must have made some discoveries,” Tsunade said.

Indeed, if the enemy is truly a life form created by Orochimaru in the future, then these guys will definitely target Orochimaru.

After all, Orochimaru's methods are not exactly gentle, but there is still a question.

Given Kitahara Kaede's personality, there was absolutely no reason for him to let Orochimaru create life.

Even if it's research, this kind of research has crossed the line of normal ethics and morality.

So Kitahara Kaede was also wondering whether this matter was really related to Orochimaru.

……

"So you want to know the extent of my research on artificial life?" Orochimaru looked at the people in front of him with some doubt.

Although he had heard Kitahara Kaede and the others share their speculations, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

Even Orochimaru would choose to retreat when faced with a powerful figure who could control his life or death at any moment.

This guy would do anything to save his life.
