Chapter 783

A few months later.

Konoha.

Deep underground of the Hokage Building.

This was Orochimaru's secret research institute. It was specially built by Kaede for Orochimaru. Orochimaru was now the captain of Konoha's scientific research team.

In one of the rooms, Kaede gently retracted his hand and said:

"It's done."

In front of Kaede, Kimimaru was standing there. His skin was pale, but it was slowly recovering. His lips were no longer dry.

Orochimaru looked at Kimimaru's aura and said:

"Thank you, Kaede."

"No problem."

Kaede smiled and said: "The Kekkei Limit is very rare. He should be the only one left in the Shinobi World. We can't let this Kekkei Limit disappear. Not to mention, Kimimaru is also a very good ninja."

Kimimaru's Kekkei Limit had become more and more serious in the last two years. Orochimaru had been trying to find a cure. He even asked Tsunade to treat Kimimaru, but the power of the Kekkei Limit made Tsunade helpless.

Tsunade could do it, but she needed to strip Kimimaru's Chakra Meridians so that he would lose his power as a ninja.

This kind of treatment was obviously useless.

Kimimaru naturally didn't want to lose his power. He would rather die than lose his power. Therefore, Orochimaru looked for Kaede when he couldn't find a cure.

This symptom was easily cured by the current Kaede. Kimimaru was now one of the Shinobi of the Scientific Research Unit, so Kaede didn't mind keeping such a talent.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Kimimaru showed a trace of gratitude and bowed to Kaede.

Kaede was Orochimaru's disciple and the legendary ninja who unified the Shinobi World. He was one of the few ninjas that Kimimaru respected.

Kaede looked at Kimimaru and said: "Don't let your Kekkei Limit disappear."

"I won't fail, Hokage-sama can rest assured."

Kimimaru's eyes revealed a trace of faith. He could feel that his disease had been cured. Now, no matter what task he was given, he wouldn't fail or die.

Kaede shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant … You are already 15 years old, you should find a girlfriend."

"Uh …"

Kimimaru's expression froze.

Kaede looked at him and chuckled, then turned around and left. He could only remind Kimimaru up to this point. Orochimaru was now a woman, so he might have some strange thoughts. Kaede didn't want to see Kimimaru get poisoned by Orochimaru.

After leaving Kimimaru's place, Kaede walked in the dark corridor and asked slowly: "How is the progress of the Otsutsuki Kupura Style?"

"The first batch of test subjects was successful."

Orochimaru followed behind Kaede, his eyes flashed and said: "The cells in that body are stronger than the cells of the Shodaime Hokage, but they are more stable, and the rate of loss of control is very low. It can steadily improve the physical fitness of the test subjects."

Kaede nodded slightly and said: "That's not surprising, the cells of the Shodaime Hokage contain too much Yang Attribute, it's hard to suppress it without the blood of the Uchiha Clan, but the cells of the Otsutsuki Clan are balanced."

Speaking up to here, Kaede looked at Orochimaru and said: "Is the number of test subjects enough? If not, I will ask the Land of Fire to send another batch. "

The current punishment in the Land of Fire is permanent imprisonment, suspended death penalty, and immediate execution of death penalty. There is also the highest level of punishment, and that is to become Orochimaru's test subjects. After all, Kaede doesn't want to see Orochimaru randomly capturing people to experiment on.

Although Orochimaru notifies Konoha, there will inevitably be ninjas who are willing to become test subjects for the sake of strength, but in Kaede's opinion, this is not necessary. After all, they are all Konoha's ninjas, even if they are willing to accept the test subjects for the sake of strength, the success rate must reach a certain level, and the risk of failure is relatively low.

These prisoners, which are a level higher than immediate execution of death penalty, are generally serial killers, exterminators, etc., and Kaede also happens to hope that they can make a little more contribution.

"Just continue to send them, even if there is enough, there won't be any excess."

Orochimaru said with a strange smile.

He knows Kaede's character very well. Kaede is ruthless towards his enemies, but he is generally more lenient towards his subordinates, just like Konoha's Chunin Exam in recent years, the death rate is almost zero.

Regarding this, Kuroto won't comment on it, because he doesn't care much about it. Whether it is the Blood Mist Hidden Village or Konoha Village, he lost interest in governance a long time ago.

Now, he only wants to explore the mysteries of the human body at a deeper level.

"Ok."

Kaede nodded and said, "Then I'll go first, let me know if there are any new results."

"Okay."

…

After leaving Orochimaru's underground laboratory, Kaede went all the way back to the Hokage office. At this time, in the office, Kakashi was sitting on the coffee table, sorting out documents.

About half a month ago, he stopped teaching Naruto, Sasuke, and Uchiha.

Among the three of them, except for Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke have completely reached the level of Chunin, even if an ordinary Jonin encountered them, there is a possibility that they will be defeated if they are not careful.

And after stopping the guidance of the three of them, allowing them to freely accept commissions, and drawing up the registration for the three of them to participate in the Chunin Exam, Kakashi began to assume the role of Hokage's assistant, or the role of the next heir of Hokage.

"Is Hinata going to participate in the Chunin Exam?"

Kakashi was sitting in front of the coffee table, sorting out the documents for the Chunin Exam, when he saw Kaede coming in, he asked.

Kaede walked to Kakashi's side, picked up the stack of documents he was working on and looked at it for a while, then said: "Chunin Exam … Let her participate."

Hinata is now one of the members of the Shadow Guards, but the titles of Shadow Guard and Genin, Chunin, and Jonin don't conflict, so the Chunin Exam can be regarded as a good opportunity to gain experience.

"Then I will put her name in it."

Kakashi nodded and wrote down Hinata's name on a document.

Kaede flipped through the documents Kakashi was working on, and seeing that they were all neatly sorted out, he put them back on the coffee table and said with a smile: "It seems that you have adapted very well to the work of Hokage, after the Chunin Exam, I can almost hand over everything to you."

Kakashi said: "Pay more attention to your body."

Kaede: "?"

Why does this sentence sound so strange?

Too lazy to pay attention to Kakashi, Kaede directly left the Hokage office and returned to the top floor.

Watching Kaede leave, Kakashi tilted his head and continued to look at the documents. Because of the existence of Tsunade and Shikaku, this Hokage job is actually quite easy.

When he takes office, Tsunade may no longer continue to manage the affairs of Konoha, in that case, the burden on his body will be slightly heavier, but he isn't worried about this.

What he is most worried about is the enemy that even Kaguya is afraid of.

He doesn't know when those enemies will come to the Shinobi world, and he doesn't know whether Kaede can deal with them.
