Naruto's Exam

Chapter 22 Lava Grilled Saury

In the distant continent of Astral, a vast magma swamp called the Blazing Abyss became the site of an epic battle! Here, a Chunin from the Blazing Ninja Village looked at the scene in shock and asked the Flaming Jonin beside him: "Those three warriors, are they made of the same flesh and blood as us?"

"......How would I know these strange things?!" The jonin frowned, and his response voice revealed a hint of helplessness and confusion.

At this moment, the projected image was once again frozen in a grand scene, and the whole world seemed to be able to hear that strange metallic voice:

【doubt--】

……

-

“Raventide’s Ephemeral Illusion Technique“: Illusion of a group of handsome men!

【doubt--】

That cold metallic voice sounded again:

[Question: What are the identities of the two soldiers in the video? ]

Seeing this question, the people around were all dumbfounded, subconsciously wanting to question the meaning of this question. However, whether it was ordinary villagers, ninjas, or even those noble shadow-level ninjas, at this moment, they seemed to be silenced by a mysterious force and could not make any sound!

【law:】

【1. Each video playback area has only one chance to answer the question.】

【2. The answering method adopts a speed-answering system. 】

【3. There is no penalty for wrong answers. 】

【4. If you answer correctly, you will have a chance to receive a random reward. 】

……

When everyone was secretly wondering in their hearts, "Who is this? Speed ​​​​answering?!" But they could only silently endure the unspeakable pain, the still picture was heard again:

[Countdown 30 seconds, after 30 seconds the speed test mode will start. ]

【30......29......28......】

As the seconds ticked by, a tense atmosphere spread. Not only the ninjas were immersed in it, but even the daimyo of various countries were addicted to this puzzle game. A daimyo of a certain country hurriedly wrote on a rare piece of magic paper:

[Quick! Issue a bounty for me!]

[Sir Daimyo, the reward within 30 seconds has not been posted yet...]

The daimyo held the exquisite magic folding fan in his hand, dancing with anxiety, but he could not open his mouth to order the whole country not to participate in the quiz, leaving the precious opportunity and the correct answer to himself.

In this precious thirty seconds, civilians and ninjas tried their best to think of the answer. One of them clearly recognized the descendant of the Uchiha family - a young man named Uchiha Sasuke; as for the identity of the other warrior, it became the focus of many opinions.

Some people think he is Uzumaki Naruto, but others think that his temperament is definitely not something a teenager can possess!

Among the crowd who were originally preparing to watch an illusion that would shock the ninja world - "Raventide's Ephemeral Illusion Technique", Black Zetsu's eyes flickered. He had to accept the reality and wait for the upcoming quick-answer session.

As one of the people who knows the truth best in the ninja world, Black Zetsu quickly analyzed in his mind:

'First of all, the previous question has already been answered - they are the carriers of the reincarnation of Indra and Asura Chakra.'

"Furthermore, judging from their appearance, one of these two warriors is the future version of Uchiha Sasuke, and the other is most likely Uzumaki Naruto."

"So, what are their identities? The last descendants of the Uchiha and Uzumaki families? Or are they the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura's chakras?"

'No, after the previous Q&A session, you should know that things are far more complicated than they appear.'

"Could it be... they are Konoha ninjas and Konoha rebel ninjas?!"

'etc! '

"The eyes of Uchiha Sasuke! Those are the purple Rinnegan!?! "

"And behind that young man who might be Uzumaki Naruto is——Hagoromo's useless Truth Seeking Ball!!!"

"So, their identities should be——the successors of the power of the Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo? ! ! ! "

……

These thirty seconds are the most tense and exciting moments in the world, and even in the universe! In every viewing area, whether it is ninjas, commoners, nobles, or daimyo, they are all ready to give their answers and are eager to try!

However, the extremely intelligent Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel through remote and secluded viewing areas, because he had already learned the correct answer during the Fourth Ninja World War, so he did not need to bother thinking about the questions.

In the remaining thirty seconds, he successfully found a small village with only a dozen households. Tobirama thought: "Great, answering the questions here will not reveal the true identity of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto."

"As long as you complete the questions and don't ask to watch the movie, no one will know the true identities of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto..."

Humph! In his anger, he didn't want to mention this matter, and he didn't want to endure such torment alone!

As for his two idiot brothers, Hashirama and Madara, he really missed his former nemesis... This feeling probably only appears when he is alone.

In the countdown of time——

【10...】

【9...】

Naruto tightened his fox ears. Who on earth were the two people in the illusion? ! !

However, the answer to this question seemed like an unfathomable mystery to him.

He turned to look at Sasuke, only to find that the other man seemed to be in another dimension, oblivious to the secret that was about to be revealed.

I was extremely anxious, wondering if I could bring a dead person back to life!

If Sasuke's father could be reborn, then Sasuke wouldn't have to embark on that lonely journey of revenge alone, right?!

An anxious Naruto shook Nara Shikamaru's shoulder. He knew that his friend had the sharpest mind, but he was unwilling to show it easily.

"Shikamaru! The moment of truth has come! You can't stand by and do nothing any longer!"

"Shikamaru! Come and help me think of a solution!"

In desperation, Nara Shikamaru pulled out an ancient scroll from the bag at his waist and quickly wrote a line of mysterious runes on it.

Naruto was stunned after reading the answer written by Shikamaru, and then nodded with difficulty.

The countdown is getting tighter——

【3...】

【2...】

At this moment, everything in the entire magical world fell into deathly silence, waiting for the countdown to end. At that moment, who can reveal the correct answer!

At the critical moment, Shikamaru took out a scroll from somewhere and quickly wrote a line of mysterious symbols on it.

【1...】

【The quick answer session begins.】

In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire ninja world boiled over, and every participant spoke out the possible correct answer in their minds at the fastest speed.

After all, there is no loss if they answer incorrectly, and if they answer correctly, the generous reward will be what they have always dreamed of!

Heroes from all walks of life are gearing up for battle, especially the Genin from other villages who came to participate in the Chunin Selection Tournament. They witnessed with their own eyes that Uzumaki Naruto unexpectedly guessed correctly with his imaginative answer and won the chance to summon the deceased Hokage twice!

Even though that guy was stupid enough to give up these two precious opportunities to his classmates, they would not make the same mistake.

As long as they can give the correct answers, they will get the tempting rewards!

The time for answering questions seems to be only two seconds, but in fact everyone tries their best to speak as quickly as possible.

In those short two seconds, no one in the viewing area could clearly hear the voices of the people around them, and could not even hear their own words!

Everyone was racing against time, blurting out their guesses in one breath, and then breathing nervously, waiting for the creepy metallic sound to reveal the correct answer!

During the waiting process, a long ten seconds seemed to pass.

【The quick response is over.】

[Now announce the answer——]

What surprised everyone was that the images of the three people that were originally shown suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by a huge white spiritual screen!

……

"Snapped!"

A line of words suddenly appeared on the screen, shocking the whole world:

"Oiroke-gyakuharemunojyutsu" Shibu Itachi - Reverse Secret Barrier Technique!

Unexpectedly, the horror quiz once again unexpectedly made public the answers to the various movie viewing locations and participants!

The huge space that was originally used to display images has now turned into a white aura screen that is shining with mysterious light.

Lines of text appeared one after another in an instant -

[Two people from the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning answered by Mu Ren: Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto. ]

[The Wind Country Sand Village Maki answered: Shadow Ninja. 】

[Tsunade's answer from the Fire Country Short Book: The elite among the Konoha brats.]

[The Land of Wind and Sand Town Duoye answered: Ninja Alliance. ]

[Tsuchi from the Land of Earth Village replied: A strong warrior.]

[Kurotsuchi from Iwagakure Village in the Land of Earth answered: The orphan of the Uchiha clan. ]

[Ebisu of the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire answered: The inheritor of the Uchiha bloodline and the Jinchūriki of Konoha.]

[The head of the Water Country Mist Village, Juro, answered: If the question is about the current identities of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto... I think they should still be Konoha's Genin, right?]

[Water Country Qingchuan Town Qing replied: The fighting power hidden in Konoha. 】

……

Countless answers emerged like a tide, some of which made people laugh.

Naruto read out one of the lines: "12 ["The Ghost Country Shion answered: The hero who saved the world."]"

"This is too bizarre! What kind of nonsense are these people talking about!" Naruto felt a little embarrassed when talking about titles like savior.

Shikamaru chose a rather peculiar answer and read it out loud: "【“Rain Country Konan answers: Konoha's traitorous ninja.”】Hey, Naruto, you're not thinking of betraying Konoha too, are you?” Although he teased like this, he knew very well that the big idiot would never do such a thing.

"What are you talking about, Shikamaru!" Naruto roared angrily: "I am going to be the Hokage! How could I betray Konoha!"

[“!!!” The eyes of the Fourth Hokage standing behind Naruto suddenly widened.]

[He whispered in his heart: "Did you hear me, Kushina? Our son, like his father, has a great dream."]

An invisible barrier separated the Fourth Hokage from Naruto, and at this time Jiraiya was standing beside Naruto, and he caught a glimpse of the familiar name...

In a distant fantasy continent, the young ranger Naruto chuckled and said sarcastically, "Huh, Lady Tsunade, as expected, she would not miss any gambling place. Is it Tansho Street this time? Perhaps we can go there to find her for a drink."

Hinata asked nervously, "Naruto-sama, what did you just say?"

Naruto looked at Hinata and gave her a sunny smile: "I am an apprentice from the Konoha Forest Guard."

"Huh?" Hinata was surprised.

It turns out that the message that Shikamaru passed to Naruto before read:

"Your and Sasuke's true identities."

Therefore, Naruto loudly declared: "We are all rookies in the Konoha Forest Guard, but one day we will become great sages who protect the village, and everyone will recognize and respect us!"

Hearing this, Sasuke couldn't help but laugh: "Foolish guy, do you know there is only one sage?"

However, Naruto smiled innocently and said nonchalantly: "Let's wait until that day, maybe we can become sages together!"

The innocence in Naruto's words eased the tense atmosphere around them. Until new words appeared:

[The Black Zetsu at the root of the Holy Tree of Hashirama responded: "Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto; the orphans of the Uchiha and Uzumaki families; the Sage of Six Paths - the son of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra's chakras; the rebel who blocked the Moon Eye Project; the origin of chakras, the almighty supreme god, the existence used by my mother Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to test her power after her resurrection!"]

Naruto asked in confusion, "Who is this expert? Wouldn't he be exhausted after telling so much information in one breath?"

He studied the text carefully and felt that the person who could give so many answers in one breath and let the respondents choose for themselves must be extraordinary.

"The roots of the sacred tree of Hashirama? What is this place? I seem to have heard the name Hashirama somewhere before? Sasuke, do you know who the Sage of Six Paths is?"

The information contained in this text is so shocking that many people cannot digest it all at once!

The name of the Six Paths Sage is actually Otsutsuki Hagoromo? And who is the Otsutsuki Kaguya mentioned later? She is actually the mother of the answerer?

Is he trying to express that he is related to the Sage of Six Paths?

But this is obviously impossible, considering the age difference! If this person named Black Zetsu is the brother of the Six Paths Sage, then wouldn't he have lived for thousands of years?

As for the statement about the chakra reincarnations of the two sons of the Six Paths Sage——

Everyone looked at Naruto and Sasuke in disbelief.

Regardless of whether the Six Paths Sage exists, the bold assumption that these two people are the reincarnations of the chakra of the Six Paths Sage's son is already amazing enough! This is too wild a thought! Could the answerer be the author of that popular fantasy novel series? !

Someone couldn't help but ask: "The roots of the Hashirama Sacred Tree... What is this place? Which country does it belong to?"

"Black Zetsu? Isn't this name too strange?"

Because of this strange location, strange questioner and strange answer, heated discussions were sparked in various places where the projection was viewed.

Among them, two figures are particularly eye-catching——

Uchiha Obito, who was hiding in the Kamui space: "!!!!"

At this moment, he was so shocked that he could not express it in words. He looked at the line of text again and again, deeply shocked.

Only he knew the meaning of "Hashirama's Sacred Tree Roots", and only he and the members of Akatsuki knew about "Black Zetsu". Because of this, he believed the words revealed in the projection without a doubt.

His thoughts were in such a mess that he even felt the words were being distorted before his eyes.

Uchiha Obito confirmed that when he checked Uchiha Madara's memory, he did not find any relevant content about the ancestor of Chakra, the almighty supreme god, and Kaguya Otsutsuki!

Not to mention the resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki! This was not originally part of his Moon Eyes plan.

His goal is to build a peaceful fantasy kingdom constructed by the Moon Eyes, a world without inner barriers, wars, death and regrets, and a world that will not abandon companions!

However, now he finds himself possibly in the middle of an elaborate trap, and as the Second Fire Sage says, he has been deceived by Madara and "that thing"!

"Black Zetsu!!! Uchiha Madara!!!"

He clenched his face, which was covered with a solid mask, so tightly that his fingers even squeezed cracks in the mask.

"hateful!"

Whenever he felt unbearable heartache, he would close his eyes and witness again the scene of Lin being stabbed in the heart by Raikiri, and Kakashi's painful figure.

Then he will see Uchiha Madara’s memories, the darkness and pain of the entire ninja world.

In this false world, he could no longer find any light or hope.

He couldn't suppress the pain in his heart and sobbed softly, as if seeking help from the deceased:

"Rin, Kushina-sister, Minato-sensei...what should I do?"

Like Uchiha Obito, another person who has deep doubts about Black Zetsu and "Uchiha Madara" is Nagato, who is connected to the Outer Path Demon Statue!

"Cough, cough cough—"

"Nagato!"
