Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

Chapter 123 - 122. Questioning Madara!

In the shinobi world, watching the five Kages talk as if no one was watching, everyone was dumbfounded!

'Why are all of you acting so casual?'

'You're discussing ways to defeat Uchiha Madara right next to him. Are... are you even treating him as a human being?'

Everyone looked at Uchiha Madara, who was suppressed by the white mist finger, and suddenly felt sympathy.

"Has the situation turned this severe?"

In the Land of Iron, a sharp glint flashed in Mifune's eyes. From Madara's words and with the current situation and state of the five Kages, it wasn't difficult to see that the five Kages would have died if it wasn't for the exam space!

This was why the five Kages didn't even care that they were in the exam space and broadcasted live. They even discussed their next attack so calmly.

'They're at their limit! They have no time to think about anything else!'

Mifune saw everything. Naturally, Jiraiya, at the boundary of the battlefield, also saw it.

"Kakashi! Can you Reverse Summon back to Konoha right now?"

Jiraiya approached Kakashi with a serious expression. He had just returned from Mount Myōboku and hadn't left a toad in Konoha that could be used for Reverse Summoning Jutsu.

"Pakkun is still in the village."

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

Jiraiya nodded, took off the forehead protector on his head, and handed it to Kakashi.

"Go back to Konoha immediately. Find the Fourth Hokage's guard platoon, the ones that can use Flying Thunder Formation Technique!"

"I have Minato's Flying Thunder God seal here. Tell them to come quickly, and bring Might Guy. Just tell them that I said so."

Saying that, Jiraiya took out a scroll from somewhere and spread it out.

Seeing the complex markings on it, Hatake Kakashi instantly understood.

'Sure enough, as a teacher of the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya-sama had the Flying Thunder God seal at hand.'

"Be quick!"

After giving orders, Jiraiya watched Hatake Kakashi disappear, and his expression slightly eased.

Might Guy had to come. He didn't need to open all Eight Gates, even if he only opened seven gates; with his strength and the strength of the five Kages, there was still hope to seal Uchiha Madara!

[Examination will start soon]

[Examinees: 6 people]

[Exam content: 5 multiple-choice questions]

[Exam Rules: Examinees are divided into two teams. They will take turns answering questions. Regardless of right or wrong, answering privileges will be given to the next team after each answer.]

[Exam Reward: The team with the highest amount of correct answers will get a chance to draw a prize.]

Along with the explanation from the exam space, two arenas suddenly rose under the groups' feet, and Uchiha Madara was released.

Standing in his own arena, Uchiha Madara looked at the others coldly, but he didn't try to attack this time.

He wanted to see what this space was and what it was up to.

[First time answer permission drawing...]

As a line of large letters appeared, a giant dice suddenly appeared between the two arenas.

It quickly rolled and eventually stopped. There was only one dot on it.

[If the number of dots is less than or equal to three, the side with the fewest number of examinees will answer first.]

[Question 1: Please answer, what is Black Zetsu's identity?]

[A. The creation of Uchiha Madara. B: A derivative of White Zetsu. C. The child of the progenitor of chakra in the shinobi world.]

"Hmm?

That's the question?"

Uchiha Madara slightly frowned, and the irregular crack on his face made him look very eerie.

"Three choices, that's all?"

Uchiha Madara disdainfully looked at the opposite five Kages, who was shocked by the question.

He increasingly felt that the shinobi of the shinobi world today were declining in each generation.

In the Warring States Period, apart from Senju Hashirama, there were still some people he thought highly of.

'That era has come to an end!'

'They were shocked by such a small question?' He thought that these five people still had a little substance.

He felt angry when he thought about it, especially at the one named Senju Tsunade.

'Clearly, she is Senju Hashirama's granddaughter. Not only did she fail to learn Senju Hashirama's Wood Release, but she also failed to learn Senjutsu.'

'Even so, she also uses temporary side effects of the "Reserve Seal" as her big move.'

'Heh...'

'Doesn't she know that her big move is only a passive move for Senju Hashirama?'

'Disgraceful!'

Uchiha Madara really wanted to drag Senju Tsunade by the collar and tell her that she had disgraced Senju Hashirama!

Coldly withdrawing his gaze, Uchiha Madara looked at the exam question.

This question was too simple!

He could answer it with his eyes closed.

He certainly knew how Black Zetsu came to be.

When he was on the verge of death, he fused Senju Hashirama's cells- Eternal Mangekyō evolved into Rinnegan, and at the same time, Black Zetsu was created.

In a sense, Black Zetsu was just a product of his chakra.

"Black Zetsu is my creation."

Uchiha Madara had his arms folded over his chest and a proud look on his face.

'This question is...'

'Too easy!'

.......

'Fuck! Fuck! Fuuuuuuck!'

Somewhere in the shinobi world, seeing that the first question in the exam space was about himself, Black Zetsu's mind exploded.

'What a frightening exam!'

Right now, all he could do was burst out cursing!

He scolded the exam space for being unreliable and Uchiha Madara for being an idiot.

'Does he think he's worthy of creating me?'

'Hell no! Tsk...'

Black Zetsu continued to look at the screen indignantly. His affection for the exam space instantly disappeared!

'Directly exposing my identity... Do you think it's too easy for me to resurrect my mother? You just had to add stumbling blocks?'

'Shit!'

The more Black Zetsu thought about it, the more his mind exploded.

He was sure of it!

He's fucking convinced!

'With Uchiha Madara's intelligence, as soon as he finds out that I've been lying to him, he would definitely connect the dots!'

Black Zetsu thought that when Uchiha Madara finished the exam, he would probably directly come looking for him and question him about everything.

"Fortunately, I sent Tobi to look for Obito..."

Thinking about the backup plan he had set up, Black Zetsu felt a little more at ease.

Looking at Uchiha Madara, who had answered the exam space, Black Zetsu sneered.

With the exam type of the exam space this time around, combined with the fact that there were only three answer options for this question, it meant the answer to the first question would be answered after two more rounds.

"Please, don't ever ask another question about me..."

Black Zetsu looked at the screen with a lingering fear, but fortunately, the first question only asked about his identity. He still had ways to stabilize Uchiha Madara and continue the follow-up plan to take Madara to the moon.

But ... if there were more questions about him.

Not to mention taking Madara to the moon, if he didn't release the Impure World Reincarnation at that time, he might have to start planning his escape!

'No, I can't put all my hopes on the exam space. '

Black Zetsu looked at the exam screen and began to think of alternative methods of retreat.

.....

[Uchiha Madara, incorrect answer.]

In the broadcast of the exam space, Uchiha Madara's face was instantly gloomy.

He didn't know why the five Kages across the room attached so much importance to answering the exam space and wasn't sure what would happen after the exam was over.

But this was a question that he answered based on his own understanding.

'I got it wrong?'

'I didn't create Black Zetsu? He has another identity?'

'Could he be ... a derivative White Zetsu?'

Thinking about the 10,000 White Zetsu in Black Zetsu's hand, Uchiha Madara deeply pondered it.

...

As Uchiha Madara was thinking, the opposite five Kages weren't relieved from the shock yet.

Even when the right to answer the question was now in their hands, they didn't realize it.

The topic of this question was nothing much, but the moment they saw the answers to the first question, the five Kages froze.

'A. Uchiha Madara's creation.' They didn't even need to think about this answer, so it was directly excluded.

Black Zetsu's presence was revealed as early as the first live broadcast.

Therefore, the correct answers could only be B or C...

The five Kages here right now were people who had experienced several exams and had long known the nature of the exam space questions.

The answers to all the questions were well documented!

Often, the most absurd and impossible was the correct answer.

And that's why they were shocked again and again!

Therefore, right now, they thought that the most likely answer was C.

However, the information revealed by answer C was terrifying!

Even if the five Kages had great mental endurance, they still couldn't help but feel shocked!

'The child of the progenitor of chakra in the shinobi world!'

They all knew what chakra was, but what did it mean by the progenitor of chakra?

Even the five Kages, who had access to all the secrets of the shinobi world, at this moment, were confused.

They knew the legend of the Sage of Six Paths, but this 'progenitor of chakra' was really unheard of.

'Could it be that it's the same as the Sage of Six Paths?'

'Or perhaps ...'

'The ancestor of the Sage of Six Paths?'

The more the five Kages thought about it, the more they felt their scalps go numb.

At first, they thought that Akatsuki's Uzumaki Nagato was quite powerful, but then, they met Madara, who had been resurrected.

They thought that the Impure World Resurrection Madara was also powerful and were still unable to accept it.

They didn't expect that there was still the progenitor of chakra!

And Black Zetsu was most likely the child of the progenitor of chakra!

'This ...'

At the thought that Black Zetsu was most likely an existence on the same level as Sage of Six Paths, everyone felt their mouths go dry.

[Please start answering the question as soon as possible.]

The urging of the exam space startled the five Kages. They looked at each other in a daze, only to realize that none of them answered the question because they were too shocked.

Everyone glanced at Tsunade and motioned for her to answer. After all, she was General Counsel of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"For this question, our answer is C."

Senju Tsunade took a deep breath and revealed the correct answer.

She didn't notice that there was a slight tremor in her voice.
