Chapter 4 - 4. Exam Time.

"No, nothing?"

Kakuzu looked at the names and felt a little upset.​​

He was waiting to see the number one longest life span in the shinobi world. Why wasn't it there?

He had some expectations and wondered if the following list had the number one longest life span in the shinobi world.

"Is the exam the only way to get permission to continue seeing it?"

"Impossible! I can't believe that I, Deidara, the number one artist in the shinobi world, isn't on it!? This list is fake, right?"

"Hmph, don't be a bragger. Even if there is the title of the number one artist in the shinobi world, it's still mine."

Sasori's puppet looked at the ranking above, discarded his emotions, and suddenly had a desire to leave his name on it.

'Mother!'

When he saw Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's name, Black Zetsu's eyes were filled with alarm.

He never imagined that such a name would be on the list.

He had already erased her from the shinobi world's history!

He even destroyed the clans with his mother's bloodline over the years.

Could it be that the guy on the moon was behind this list?

Black Zetsu looked upward but couldn't see anything.

...

The moment they saw this list, some in the shinobi world concluded even more firmly that this was Konoha's means of showing off their might.

Others didn't know, but how could the five Kages of other villages not know?

Between these ten names on the list...

Konoha had seven!

The remaining three couldn't be confirmed as Konoha's people yet.

'Heh ~'

'Boring tricks!'

In Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, saw this list and grunted coldly.

A thunderbolt raged on his arm, directly shattering the table in front of him.

"Konoha, you're through!"

"Is the number one taijutsu user in the Shinobi world a great name that a little Jōnin like you can carry?"

"Someone, notify everyone that in 3 days, I will personally visit Konoha's Noble Green Beast."

...

"Tsunade-sama, your name is on it!"

In the casino, Shizune, holding Tonton, pointed at the screen in surprise.

Tsunade looked up, and her face instantly changed.

"Old man, you've crossed the line!"

Shaking her head in disappointment, Tsunade sighed.

Even if she didn't like it anymore, it was the place that her great grandfather and grandfather had built.

"Shizune, let's go."

"Tsunade-sama, where are we going?"

"Konoha."

.....

"Huh? My name? That's my name! Hahaha." Uzumaki Naruto pointed to his name and shouted, causing the crowd to look at him intolerantly.

"I've really become a great ninja, hahahahaha!"

"How can it be you!? You loser!"

"That's right. It's just a guy with the same name."

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Konohagakure, dozens of people have gathered at this moment, seeing the list and discussing it fiercely.

"Hahahaha, see, see, this is the depth of my Konoha, the number one shinobi village!"

"Yes, yes!" The hearts of the people living in Konohagakure were filled with pride as they looked at the names on the list.

"Konohagakure is the safest!"

A strong sense of pride and satisfaction erupted inside.

On the list, Konoha had everything.

Konoha had seven people out of the ten positions on the Shinobi World's Pride list!

This made this group of people living in Konohagakure feel incredibly fortunate.

One slightly literate guy even shouted the following prose:

"The Pride of the Shinobi World, Konohagakure has seven!"

The Anbu who came back to resume orders didn't even notice anything unusual. Hearing the cheers from below, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was getting more and more unsightly.

He felt that someone was deliberately targeting Konohagakure.

And wanted to provoke Konohagakure and other shinobi villages to fight and start a Fourth Shinobi War.

Thinking of those weird pairs of Rinnegan, Sarutobi Hiruzen became silent.

.....

"Sensei, the Noble Green Beast -- Might Guy! Is that you?"

On Konohagakure walls, Rock Lee pointed to the sky in shock. His eyes were full of admiration, "Sensei, it says that you are the number one taijutsu user of the shinobi world!"

"What? Number one?"

Might Guy jumped up, placed his hand on his forehead, and looked at it for a while, showing his trademark smile.

"Yosh! Lee, to celebrate being the first in the world, an extra 500 laps should be added to today's run."

"Yes!"

Watching Rock Lee run out excitedly, the smile on the corners of Might Guy's mouth faded as he gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Number one in the shinobi world?"

He wondered who was bored enough to make up such a list.

After all, even if he had the Eight Gates all fully open, he could only last for 8 minutes.

And, in his heart, there had always been a green figure.

He! He's the strongest in taijutsu!

.....

In the exam space, Pain scanned the list twice but still didn't see his name.

Sure enough, the list of mortals wouldn't hold Kami's name.

Suddenly, everyone in the space changed their expressions.

The Shinobi World's Pride List was folded up. Then, the handwriting and images in the sky changed together.

[It's time for the exam to begin.]

What was the reason Akatsuki was destroyed before the Fourth Shinobi War?

A: The unrealistic goal of peace in the shinobi world.

B: It's too weak to resist the Allied Shinobi Forces.

C: Members of the Akatsuki organization took off their clothes in battle.

D: Deception by internal members from beginning to end.

Looking at this question, everyone was confused!

None of them expected that the exam questions in the exam space would be so straightforward and explosive!

Both the questions and the answers contained so much information!

For a while, it left everyone at a loss as to how to answer.

"Will the organization be destroyed?"

Pain stared at the question with a deadly gaze. Blood began to fill his eyes. He didn't believe it, he couldn't believe it!

Akatsuki was founded by Yahiko, the painstaking efforts of the three of them, and with him as a Kami, how could it be destroyed?!

Just as Pain was about to explode, a soft, gentle hand gently rested on his shoulder.

Before Pain looked up, Konan's voice rang in his ear.

"Don't be afraid. Nothing has happened yet."

Hearing this, a burst of sharp light flashed in Pain's eyes.

He instantly understood what Konan meant!

...

"My goodness, what kind of organization is this Akatsuki?"

"The Allied Shinobi Forces? What is that? Could it be that the five shinobi villages would unite together? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"How can I join forces with the shinobi of the Sunagakure when they killed my uncle?!"

"This question is insane, right? Why would they fight with the Allied Shinobi Forces to maintain world peace? Wouldn't that mean that the Allied Shinobi Forces are the bad guys?"

Some people were shocked and discussed it with some disbelief.

Some of them had already seen that this question was about the future. After all, there was no sign of a Fourth World War happening yet.

...

In Konohagakure, Shikaku and Shikamaru, father and son of the Nara clan, were looking at the screen in front of them. The shogi game on the table was half played.

"Shikamaru, what do you think of this question?"

"It couldn't be the third one by any stretch of the imagination, could it?" Shikamaru shook his head, and the tied-up hair on his head wobbled with him.

"We are all shinobis. If we take off our clothes in battle and die, wouldn't that be, well... too much of a joke, right?"

Nara Shikaku smiled, Shikamaru's thoughts coincided with his.

"Shikaku-sama, the Hokage-sama is asking for you!"

Two figures leaped down from above and approached Nara Shikaku, arching their hands.

"Got it, got it. Tell Hokage-sama that I'll be right there."

Nara Shikaku smacked his forehead; he knew that he couldn't avoid this kind of thing.

...

Kirigakure.

Seeing Konoha's depths, Terumī Mei once again felt anxious about Kirigakure's weakness.

In addition to herself and Ao, there were no capable shinobi in the current Kirigakure.

Even for advisors, only Ao could give her advice.

Terumī Mei's beautiful eyes fell on the screen, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, looking at the tall figure on the screen.

"Kisame Hoshigaki...?"

In fact, not only Konohagakure and Kirigakure but other major shinobi villages or organizations had summoned their advisors to study the information revealed by this question and answers.

It's just that the more they examined, the more frightening they felt.
