Naruto's Exam

Chapter 38 Li Ran's Cheats

Dad?

"I have no idea."

“I really don’t know.”

“Can anyone tell me why?”

"The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is sealed inside me, and this was done by the Fourth Hokage?"

"How could my most respected Fourth Hokage, the hero of Konoha, turn his own son into a monster with his own hands?"

The desire for family affection is unfathomable.

Just when Uzumaki Naruto was falling into confusion of self-doubt, no one expected that the terrifying question-and-answer system would throw out a simple question.

[Question: Which Konoha Genin is Uzumaki Naruto's father? ]

However, this is a free point question.

Naruto gave the answer without hesitation.

His mind was blank at this moment...

The self-protection mechanism of human beings when faced with great despair made him stop thinking.

Twelve years of pain made it impossible for him to accept this unbelievable fact.

"I have no idea……"

【…】

[“Wrong answer…”]

“Naruto!”

"Naruto!!!"

[Kurouma: "Tsk! Stupid boy!!!"]

Everyone stared at Naruto, who stared back dully.

The world was spinning and everyone's faces became blurry.

What was the question just now?

How did he answer?

Don't know...

Yeah, not sure...

He really doesn't understand, let him be quiet for a while!!!

At this time, the one who reacted first and tried to wake Naruto up was the one who had been awakened by Naruto before - Gaara!

The Hand of Sand is the power given to Gaara by his mother.

Xiaosha slapped Naruto's face with his hand!

"Naruto... at that time, in the video... you were the one who woke me up." Gaara said, "We both felt the same way about being turned into a monster by our father. I didn't expect that we also had the same feeling..."

"We are really alike, Uzumaki Naruto."

……

The pain in his face gradually brought Naruto back to his senses, and the astonished faces around him gradually became clear.

"Kakashi-sensei..."

"Grandpa Hokage..."

Naruto was good at reading people's minds, and he immediately noticed that the expressions of these two people were different from those of others...

“You know that, right?”

The pain and guilt in their eyes were even more obvious: "..."

"Why didn't you tell me..." First there was a low question, followed by a hysterical roar: "Why didn't you tell me?!!! Why?!!!"

"Why didn't you tell me, the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage... is..."

Naruto choked up, unable to utter the final answer.

Sasuke unconsciously called out softly: "Naruto..." The truth shocked him equally.

That Naruto, the last one? ! !

He is actually... the Hokage's son...?

"Are you kidding me?"

Sasuke's thoughts replayed like a rewind.

He thought back to his time in the ninja school, when Naruto was just a troublemaker who loved to play pranks and make unreasonable troubles.

Recalling that in the Forest of Death, he yelled at Naruto: "How can you, a person who has always been alone, understand my feelings?!!!"

Then, as expected, I saw the other person's painful and sad expression.

Thinking back to the previous images, the conversation between Shisui and Itachi, the suspicion between Danzo and the Konoha high-ups -

"The first time the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked the village, it was Uchiha Madara's fault, so the villagers are afraid of the Uchiha, and even more afraid of the Nine-Tailed Fox."

"The Nine-Tails Rebellion this time may have been controlled by the evil eye technique of the Uchiha."

I recall more——

The first round of the Chunin Exams.

Horror Q&A popped up.

Ten coffins emerged from the ground.

Uzumaki Naruto, who originally planned to revive his idol, the Fourth Hokage...

Smiled at him...

That brilliant smile is like the sunlight outside the window, dazzling and blinding.

“Hey! The bastard hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything!!”

"If you have the guts, bring Sasuke's mother back to life!!"

"I choose her! I choose Sasuke's mother!!"

“…” The whole audience was silent.

"You bastard demon fox!" A certain Konoha jonin held Naruto's head and smashed it against the table. The broken corner of the table made his Sharingan blood red...

[“Naruto…”]

At this time, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, who existed in the world in the form of a soul, looked at his son worriedly.

In the past two days, he followed his son and collected a lot of information.

He learned that his escape from the clutches of death was related to something called "Horror Questions and Answers".

Moreover, when the "Horror Quiz" first came to Konoha, Naruto, who answered the questions correctly, had the opportunity to revive him.

Naruto's persistence in friendship made him give his only chance to his friend Uchiha Sasuke and resurrect Sasuke's mother, Uchiha Mikoto, who was also Kushina's good friend.

At this moment, even Minato Namikaze, who always believed in his son, began to worry.

Naruto, can you really handle this matter properly?

The friendship between me and Sasuke cannot be shaken by this incident.

......

Not only Minato Namikaze was worried about this, but also Kakashi Hatake, the ninja who once tried to use the Sharingan to resurrect Minato teacher but missed the opportunity due to a momentary trance.

"Calm down, Naruto." Kakashi tried to put his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

Naruto remained silent, gently blocking Kakashi's hand with his arm and pushing him away.

"Naruto, I'm sorry..." said the Third Hokage guiltily.

"Grandpa Hokage, let me--" Naruto wanted to say that he needed some time alone.

“Do you regret it?! Stalker!” Sasuke glared at Naruto.

For some things, it's better for him to point them out directly.

However, even though Sasuke called him a stalker, Naruto ignored him and just glanced at him coldly.

"Do you think so, Sasuke..."

These plain words, without a trace of emotion, shocked Sasuke!

Uchiha Mikoto hurried over and witnessed this scene. She stood in the distance, looking at the two children worriedly.

All the doubts, anger and resentment gathered in Naruto's chest, almost exploding. Sasuke's words were like lighting the fuse of a calm bomb.

Naruto pushed Sasuke away and questioned Kakashi and the Third Hokage: "Why didn't you tell me?"

["Naruto!" Namikaze Minato was angry and sad about his son's life for many years, but he understood that the responsibility was his own, and this was his choice as Hokage.]

Kushina's life as a Jinchūriki was not easy. Despite knowing this, he insisted on making the newborn Naruto a Jinchūriki despite Kushina's objections. In the end, he died with Kushina, leaving Naruto alone.

Even though he was angry that the news of Naruto being the Jinchuriki had leaked to the entire ninja village, he understood why Kakashi and the Third Hokage chose to keep the fact that Naruto was his son a secret.

In the Third Shinobi World War, he was Konoha's golden flash, fighting his way out of a peaceful situation. The fact that the Hidden Cloud Village ordered that anyone who encountered him could abandon their mission and flee was enough to show how many enemies he had!

["Naruto..." The Fourth Hokage was immersed in self-blame. He wanted to explain to Naruto and apologize to him, but as a ghost, he couldn't do it.]

Facing Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, his teacher and his father's student, did not make any excuses, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen did not evade his responsibility.

Their attitude angered Uzumaki Naruto even more.

“Naruto!” “Naruto…” “Naruto-kun.”

Sakura, Karin, and Hinata wanted to comfort Naruto, but it was not appropriate at this time. Naruto said, "I don't want to hear anything now!" and cut off their attempts.

At this time, Naruto was looking at the Third Hokage and Kakashi, and his monologue revealed endless grievances.

"I once asked Grandpa Hokage who my parents were, but you always looked sullen and told me not to ask again."

“Just the other day, I was thinking…”

"I wonder if my mother was used as a tool to restore chakra like Karin's mother and died miserably."

"I also wondered if my father would become a traitor for some reason like Sasuke's brother..."

"I even thought...my father might be a heinous bastard, so you guys won't tell me who he is!!!"

Listening to Naruto's low accusation, everyone here was touched.

The villagers could not imagine that the troublemaker whom they had ostracized and isolated for many years turned out to be the son of their hero.

At this moment, they didn't know what to say. They could only suppress their emotions and listen to the child's heart-wrenching story with hoarse voices.

Some people cast reproachful glances at the Sandai and Kakashi, blaming them for not revealing the truth.

Some people also blame the Uchiha family, believing that if there was no Uchiha Madara and no Nine-Tails, there would be no subsequent events.

There were also some ninjas who had a deep understanding of the Third Ninja World War and understood the actions of Kakashi and the Third Hokage, because they knew the Fourth Hokage's reputation for Golden Flash.

In short, people have different minds.

The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, looked at everyone's reactions and sighed silently.

Because of different environments, different responsibilities, and different positions, it is destined that some people have the same ideas and some have different ideas.

The only thing that can make everyone in the world think alike is...

Unlimited monthly reading.

But it is precisely because people's hearts are different that the world is so colorful. If everyone in the world had the same thoughts, people would degenerate like animals.

The end result...

It's just a lot of White Zetsu.

......

After watching the video and knowing the true identity of Uzumaki Naruto, the villagers of Konoha spread the news by word of mouth and gathered in front of Ichiraku Ramen.

In a blink of an eye, the entire street was surrounded by crowds of people, and the ninjas even climbed up the treetops and telephone poles.

However, facing so many people, Naruto felt as if he had returned to his childhood, being isolated and surrounded again, feeling the strangeness and coldness.

After watching the previous video, the heart of the Third Hokage was condemned by the exhortations of Kushina and Minato, and Kakashi was the same. The deaths of Obito, Rin, Minato teacher, and Kushina sister made him live in self-blame... ...

Every time at this time, Li Ran couldn't help but think that if it was him who sacrificed himself instead of Dai Tu, perhaps everything could be protected better.

"The punishment mechanism is activated——"

This voice stunned everyone present.

The continuous twists and turns made them ignore this!

Li Ran, he answered wrong!

"If you answer incorrectly, a life form will be randomly selected from the area and deprived of its life characteristics."

“Don’t be ridiculous…”

Li Ran was completely furious, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes turned into scarlet animal pupils!

His anger broke through the seal that Uzumaki Mito had just strengthened, and he uncontrollably absorbed the power of the Nine-Tails in his body!

All at once——Borrow the power from two Ninetales at the same time!

"idiot!!"

Kurama had long been accustomed to the Seventh Hokage's habit of borrowing chakra from time to time. Due to a moment of negligence, a large amount of chakra was drained away by the angry Li Ran!

Even if he stopped the granting of chakra in time, the chakra that was taken away could not be recovered quickly, because the chakra of the other Nine-Tailed Fox was corroding Li Ran's mind and skin like a poison ivy.

That's right! That Yang Nine-Tail was happy to give its chakra and hidden hatred to Uzumaki Li Ran, occupying his mind and wreaking havoc!

"Stop now! The boy can't bear so much tailed beast chakra now!!"

Jiu Lama swung his claws at the other self in the dark golden cage.

Even it, Yang Jiuwei, has never obeyed anyone. The two huge tailed beasts started fighting in Li Ran's body!

There was no collision of tailed beast cannons, no chakra bombardment, just two beasts tearing with claws, biting with teeth, and lashing each other with their nine tails...

No one obeys anyone!

......

This struggle is also obvious on the outside!

"Li Ran!!!"

People who knew him called his name worriedly!

Li Ran's condition at this moment is extremely strange.

Two kinds of chakra, red and gold, emerged from his body!

The two chakras devoured, fought for, and invaded each other...

“Uh-huh… um… Aa ...

The sound Li Ran made was like the roar of a human, but also like the roar of a wild beast.

Half of his face -

The eyes turned into scarlet animal pupils.

Fangs were exposed in his mouth.

The birthmark on his cheek is darker like a beard, just like the beard of the Nine-Tailed Fox!

The other half of the face showed the golden chakra in the future image.

The eyes were indeed red animal pupils, but they did not exude the evil light like the other eye.

"Li Ran!!" Iruka, the Third Hokage, Li Kashi and a few other senior ninjas, Sasuke, Sakura and other new generation ninjas of Konoha all approached Li Ran, trying to help him get out of this state.

Others took a few steps back...

"Nine-tailed Fox..."

"That's the Nine-Tails' chakra!!!"

......

The setting in the original animation is used here. Minato: "If you knew you were my son, many dangers would befall you."

Here, Vortex Li Ran was still in chaos.

Two kinds of chakra, two forms of tailed beasts, one corroding his skin while the other healing it quickly.

The two Nine-Tailed Foxes were sealed in his body and refused to give in to each other...

This feeling almost cost Uzumaki Li Ran half his life.

This left the helpless Fourth Hokage frequently seeking help from the Yin-Kyuubi that was bound to him.

"Mr. Jiuwei! What happened to Li Ran?!"

"I don't know either..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Jiuwei suddenly remembered the reward Li Ran had received, and his eyes suddenly widened:

"Before! The prize that Whirlpool Li Ran won!!"

"What?! Please explain it in detail, Mr. Kyuubi!" Seeing Yin Kyuubi's sudden impatience, Namikaze Minato immediately became nervous.

"Resurrect the tailed beast Kurama!" Yin Jiuwei said: "Kuruma is my name! But my other half was not resurrected, and the other half in your son's body is intact..."

“?!!!”

"What exactly is it that was resurrected by that terrifying question?"

It's like a horror story.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze could only stare at Li Ran's reaction, powerless to do anything.

On the other hand, the Horror Question and Answer did not wait for Li Ran’s confused state to end.

Another machine stands up!

The mechanical voice sounded:

"Within thirty seconds, pull the lever and randomly select a life form..."

“Eradicate!”

"!!!"

Iruka: "Wait!! Li Ran he——"

“The countdown is about to begin.”
