Kitahara Kaede thought for a moment and said, "It should be a gigantic mountain floating in midair, much larger than the largest mountain in the ninja world. Their God King lives at the very top, and afterward, they are classified according to strength!"
After that, Shikamaru asked several more questions.
"Everyone understands the general situation now. Let's determine the personnel arrangement. The requirements are that these people must work well together, have no grudges against one another, and cannot all be from the same village!" Shikamaru said.
"They can't be from the same village? Wouldn't people from the same village cooperate better?" Tsunade asked doubtfully.
"But! The ninja world is still unstable, after all. And we cannot guarantee that Kitahara Kaede's side will succeed. No one knows what we might face here. Everyone, you don't want all the experts from your villages to leave, do you?" Shikamaru looked around.
The Five Kage nodded as well.
"Then! This is what we'll discuss next!" Shikamaru said as he looked at the people beside him, seeming to have completely forgotten Kitahara Kaede was there.
Watching the fierce argument in the room, Kitahara Kaede felt increasingly awkward. These people seemed to be instinctively ignoring him.
"Ah! You guys keep talking. I'll head outside for a look. Let me know once you reach a conclusion!" Kitahara Kaede said with a yawn as he walked out.
What an easy life. If I had his strength, I could ignore all this too, Shikamaru thought.
Kitahara Kaede walked out of the tent. Outside, the lights still blazed brightly, and a gentle breeze brought a faint chill.
"Lord Kitahara!" The people outside immediately approached him. They were the security personnel stationed outside, each of them possessing Kage-level strength.
Time Vortex
"How are things inside? Have you reached a conclusion?"
