I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

"He's just a genuine Order powerhouse, yet he acts so arrogant!" Number Two complained in a dark cave.

He not only hated Number Ten, but also had absolutely no respect for the leader.

"I'll get my hands on the Ghost Sprout Technique soon. Then I'll see if you can still be so high and mighty as the leader! I'll take your place and become number one!" Number Two said through gritted teeth.

The technique of Oni-Garuru is the direction chosen by Number Two.

Beiliuhu!

They were former teammates of the legendary Sannin, but were killed by Naruto and his friends more than a decade ago.

However, the Oni-Garra Technique he mastered is still an extremely powerful ninjutsu, capable of even altering his own body structure and bloodline limit!

This second person placed his hopes of making up for his physical problems on the Oni-Garra Technique!

But he never told anyone about it.

Even after obtaining information about Hiruko, he immediately destroyed all the information!

His primary goal upon returning to the present was to use this ninjutsu to replenish the deficiencies in his body, thereby becoming an unassailable, powerful being of order!

He supports their overall plan, but he prefers to make himself stronger first!

After the second person left the scene, another figure slowly stood up from the ground.

Then he directly dialed the leader's video call.

"Leader, Number Two's objective is the Oni-Garra Technique. Although we don't know what kind of ninjutsu it is, I think he must be hiding something from us."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Number One. If there's a chance, destroy the data on the Oni-Garuru Technique before he succeeds!"

The enemy's leader is not number one!

But it seems that even these enemies themselves consider their leader to be number one!

But that's not the case!

Number One has always existed, but no one except the leader knows it!

Clearly, this leader knew about the Ghost Sprout Technique, but he didn't tell anyone else.

Clearly, this leader is no pushover either!

……

The banquet at Kitahara Kaede's place was almost over.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the children also felt sleepy.

"Let's call it a day. This is the first time we've had a meal together like this in all these years," Choji said, wiping his mouth.

"Actually, you're just afraid of getting scolded by your wife if you come home late, right?" Ino retorted mercilessly from the side.

"Go home? What time is it now (Zhao Hao Zhao)?" Shikamaru asked nervously.

"It's eleven o'clock, Shikamaru. I remember your wife asked you to be home before 10:30, right?" Choji laughed heartily.

"You bastard Choji! Have you forgotten that your wife's rule is that you have to be home before 11 o'clock?!" Shikamaru shouted in a panic!

"What! It's eleven o'clock!?" Choji said belatedly.

"Excuse me, everyone, I have to go home now. I don't want to keep my wife waiting. She can't sleep well if I'm not home."

Choji said this and immediately put on his coat and headed out.

"Choji, why don't you bring Chocho along?" Ino said gloatingly from the side.

Choji also brought his child with him this time; his child is a daughter named Akimichi Chocho.

A child with a very Akimichi style, and full of confidence.

Everyone likes this child.

Chapter 881 The Predecessors

The next day, Kitahara Kaede arrived at the Hokage's office early in the morning.

The other Kage are already waiting here; one night is enough for them to get a general understanding of the current ninja world.

But it is precisely because they have some understanding of this that they are unable to get a proper rest.

"Lord Kitahara Kaede, I am grateful for your care, even though I am a good-for-nothing grandson." The First Tsuchikage, Ishigawa, greeted Kitahara Kaede very respectfully.

“Mr. Ishigawa, you’re too kind. Grandpa Onoki has provided us with a lot of help; we are partners,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Ishigawa's attitude was a bit too respectful, and Kitahara Kaede didn't think it was a good thing.

“Kitahara Kaede, I know my son. He’s not someone who’s easily convinced by others. The fact that you can get him to follow your instructions already shows how excellent you are,” the Third Raikage said.

The Third Raikage possessed a unique strength and ruggedness.

This guy was hailed as the strongest Raikage before the Fourth Raikage, and that wasn't just hype like it was with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His status and strength are genuine.

“Now that you former Kage have a better understanding of the current ninja world, you naturally understand why I am disturbing your peaceful rest,” Kitahara Kaede said.

At this moment, neither the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, nor the First and Second Raikage spoke. They were not very familiar with Kitahara Kaede, so it was normal for them to remain silent.

"The ninja world needs to expand outwards, but it lacks strong individuals, isn't that right?" Wu said.

They still hadn't quite grasped the concept yet, after all, this wasn't the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

They also did not face the Allied Shinobi Forces, composed of ninjas from every ninja village.

“Yes, this is a good opportunity for every ninja village. There are enough resources, and there is no need for endless wars and plundering,” Kitahara Kaede said.

Kitahara Kaede was already prepared, although the Kage present knew about the current situation from their juniors.

However, their life experiences dictate that they cannot easily believe everything.

Seeing is not always believing, and it is normal to be a little cautious in such situations, which is something Kitahara Kaede is happy to see.

"You are all among the best of the Kage, and your strength is not far from the next level. It's just that the limits that the ninja world can support have restricted you from going any further (bddg), but that will soon no longer be a problem."

Kitahara Kaede said.

This is what truly benefits these people.

Although Hashirama Senju's strength level had not yet reached the Six Paths level, that was the limit that the ninja world could normally produce.

It was even with the help of the Sage of Six Paths that he and Madara Uchiha achieved their level of strength.

But if Kitahara Kaede were to scatter a fruit from the Divine Tree throughout the ninja world, this restriction would be completely broken!

"The fruit of the Divine Tree? I heard about it from my son, and I support it. Even if the First and Second Hokage objected, I have already stood by it." The Third Raikage stated his position directly.

Perhaps out of respect for the fourth generation of Ai, he was willing to believe in his son's comrade-in-arms.

However, saying it like that is somewhat disrespectful to the previous two Raikage.

"Hey, you were my bodyguard back then. Isn't it a bit disrespectful of you to say that now?" the Second Raikage said with a hint of helplessness.

He didn't intend to oppose the decision of the Third Generation Ai, but the way the Third Generation Ai spoke was really making him uncomfortable.

"Second Hokage, I am already stronger than you, and the Hidden Cloud Village was revived under my leadership," the Third Raikage said without any politeness.

He still respected the Second Raikage who had guided him through his growth, but he didn't think his decision was wrong.

As for communication methods, most people in the Hidden Cloud Village pursue strength and correctness.

The Second Raikage found it difficult to refute the Third Raikage's words.

"Hehe, that little brat from back then has become the strongest Raikage in history, and even his son has become one of the world's top fighters. Second Hokage, don't even mention it." The First Raikage chuckled.

He was quite open-minded about it. The first Kage of each ninja village had been dead for many years, and they were happy to see how the ninja villages developed afterward.

As for which of his juniors is more outstanding, he doesn't care at all.

"Kitahara Kaede, I won't try to act superior in front of you. I just need a promise. Are you sure you can bring lasting peace to the ninja world?" the First Raikage asked seriously.

That was his only problem.

The first Kage of each ninja village established their respective villages with the aim of freeing the ninja world from endless war.

Although they may use means to gain benefits, their original intentions are beyond question.

"I am not the First Hokage, so I am not naive enough to believe that sincerity and goodwill can bring peace. But I am undoubtedly the strongest, so I will restrain the entire ninja world," Kitahara Kaede said.

"You remind me of Madara Uchiha. Unifying the ninja world would indeed be the best way to achieve peace, but no ninja village can accept its own demise," Ishigawa sighed.

He recalled the time when Mu, who was under his protection, was attacked by Madara Uchiha while carrying Onoki on their way to a meeting.

He was certainly angry at the time, but in the end, he chose to suppress his anger after Hashirama Senju bowed his head.

This led to the first peace in the ninja world.

“I am not Madara Uchiha. Everyone knows that unification is the best peace, but I don’t have such great ambitions.” Kitahara Kaede smiled.

Unifying the ninja world and becoming the king of the ninja world? That's not an interesting thing.

If one becomes the King of the Ninja World and then does nothing, then the title is worthless.

If one were to wholeheartedly take charge of everything in the ninja world, that kind of busy life wouldn't be what Kitahara Kaede wants.

This is just right. Kitahara Kaede is now hanging like the Sword of Damocles over the ninja world, and all ambitious people must restrain themselves under Kitahara Kaede's power.

With the entire ninja world united, Kitahara Kaede only needed to hold occasional meetings.

This approach is good for both the ninja world and Kitahara Kaede.

As for the ambitious individuals who might emerge, Kitahara Kaede is completely unconcerned.

The ninja world is only so big, and to become a top-tier ninja, one must inevitably go through several rounds of selection.

Elite Jonin begin their training by becoming powerful members of the Order, and these powerful members are not people who can be easily fooled.

An ambitious person without real power is nothing more than a petty scoundrel who only knows how to scheme!

Chapter 882 Mutual Understanding

“We old guys are already outdated, so we won’t interfere much in the village’s affairs. But the ninja world doesn’t need us to manage the village. It’s enough for us to just become stronger, right?” the First Raikage asked.

He was also carefree and had no particular thoughts about the current state of the Hidden Cloud Village.

In particular, this generation's Raikage, Darui, has done a good job, with the Fourth Hokage, A, providing guidance.

The First and Second Raikage were not particularly worried about the village's future.

“Yes. There are some enemies in the ninja world right now, and everyone should be aware of this information, so we need more strong individuals,” Kitahara Kaede said.

“That’s easy. You said you had a way for me to break through my current limitations, so go ahead and do it. We’ll stake our dignity as Kage on this; we will never do anything to harm the ninja world!” Shihe said resolutely.

Although they didn't know much about Kurotsuchi as the Fourth Tsuchikage, Ishigawa and Muto trusted Onoki.

Now that Onoki has acknowledged Kurotsuchi's abilities as a Kage, they won't interfere too much!

Although the peace in the ninja world was still flawed at this time, they believed that the future would be better!

It wasn't that they trusted Kitahara Kaede, whom they had never met before, but rather that they trusted the judgment of the person they had chosen!

Onoki trusts Kitahara Kaede, and so does the Fourth Generation Ai! Therefore, they will trust Kitahara Kaede!

This kind of courage is not lacking at all for these shadows who have come from chaotic times!

"We're already dead, so if we need to sacrifice ourselves, we won't have any other thoughts! Every breath we take right now is a bonus. Thank you, Kitahara Kaede!"

The First Raikage said very seriously.

They felt grateful to Kitahara Kaede.

"By the way, there's something I need to ask for your opinions on. I plan to revive Uchiha Madara. Do you want him to be revived now or wait a while?" Kitahara Kaede asked.

The people present pondered upon hearing this. To be honest, they had no doubt about Madara Uchiha's strength, but this issue involved some personal grudges.

Madara Uchiha did a lot of trouble for them back then, and most of them would choose to keep their distance from Madara Uchiha, this demon of the ninja world.

"Let's just revive him. Although giving us time will allow us to grow to a point where we don't need to fear him, if we hand him over to Madara Uchiha during this time, he might be able to provide assistance to the ninja world much faster!"

Shihe sighed and said.

While speaking, he glanced at the expressions of Mu and Onoki.

Among the villagers of Iwagakure, these two were the most hostile towards Madara Uchiha, and Ishigawa was somewhat worried that they might have some ideas.

“Grandpa, I’m not afraid of Madara Uchiha at all now. I’m a strongman of order now.” Onoki said calmly.

He would not be afraid of Madara Uchiha. Having witnessed the power of the Otsutsuki clan, how could he possibly hold a grudge against the past?
