Naruto's Exam

In the bustling city, opposite Tobirama Senju, Kurama fell into deep thought for a short time, his thoughts drifted to Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Otsutsuki Isshiki, and more Otsutsuki family members who might appear.

"In addition to Black Zetsu, there is a powerful force hidden on this earth that is no less powerful than Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya is not the only member of the Otsutsuki clan."

"!!!"

Senju Tobirama was shocked by Kurama's words! How powerful will the enemies that Naruto and his friends face in the future be?

"My departure was not entirely due to the enemy's power," Jiu Lama suddenly said, "The situation is complicated and I didn't realize it before, but during this period of time after my rebirth, I thought a lot..."

"what happened?"

"It's hard to explain. Ever since the nearly devastating reconciliation battle between Naruto and Sasuke, the whole world seems to have become a little wrong..."

"Something's wrong?" Senju Tobirama failed to understand Kurama's hint.

Jiu Lama seemed to remember something and frowned:

"This matter is complicated, but it will take at least 10 to 20 years for it to become apparent..."

Recalling that a few days ago, he controlled Naruto's body, activated the "Old Hu Chicken" mechanism, and actually destroyed Black Zetsu. After the joy, he always felt that this was too unbelievable. Especially since then, the "Death Questions and Answers" that were originally mysterious and never broke their promises quietly disappeared, making them feel a subtle loss of control, and even...

It's like the silence before the storm!

……

Afterwards, Tobirama Senju left Naruto's subconscious world. The next day, the eight images and eight influence cards that were supposed to continue did not reappear. The Fourth Raikage Ai of the Hidden Cloud Village, his younger brother, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee and others had arrived in Konoha. Then, Tsuchikage Ohnoki and his Hokage Guards also arrived.

at the same time……

Konan just used the "Paper God Technique" to create a big tree, hiding herself and Nagato inside it, and continued to move forward with the paper clone and Pain. At this time, she met the Konoha ninja team who set out from Konoha to the Rain Country!

Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, and a crow following behind them.

They met on the intersecting routes!

"!!!"

Kakashi didn't expect to meet the man who destroyed Konoha in the video! As a person who was resurrected later, Uchiha Shisui didn't know the situation of this orange-haired man, let alone that he destroyed the entire Konoha with just one blow in the video!

However, Shisui was well aware of his profound Rinnegan, and Itachi's instant nervous reaction when he saw the two of them!

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The wind blew the fallen leaves, and the two sides looked at each other for a moment, and Payne spoke first.

"As expected, you betrayed the organization... Itachi."

Kakashi: "You are!!!"

Pein had a blank expression on his face and said calmly: "Hatake Kakashi, you probably haven't seen me except in the video."

"Let me introduce myself. I am Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki organization and the god who saves this world."

"..." Shisui hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but complain: "I heard that you are at most the second in command, and the man in the mask is the real boss behind the scenes, right?"

Xiaonan: "You bastard!"

Pein raised his hand to stop Konan, and turned to Uchiha Shisui: "Shunshin Shisui, it was a pity that you were blinded by Danzo back then, and there was also the Uchiha clan that could explode at any time. If you hadn't died young, you would have done something..."

[Itachi uses illusion to quietly remind Kakashi and Shisui: "Don't fight head-on. Pain is very powerful, especially with the Samsara Eye. The illusion of the Mangekyō Sharingan is ineffective against him!"]

Hearing that illusions were ineffective against Pain, illusion expert Uchiha Shisui pursed his lips.

[Itachi continued: "First find out their intentions and report the information back to Konoha!"]

Kakashi: "It's great to hear you defend Konoha at this moment, but..."

But Payne has attacked!

The three of them instantly escaped from Itachi's illusion space. Pain locked onto Uchiha Itachi in crow form with his Samsara Eye and forcibly broke the illusion!

"Itachi!!" Shisui took a look. What he was worried about was that Itachi's real body would be forcibly freed from the illusion.

Sure enough, the crow flew away. It seemed that Itachi's illusion was also broken...

Pein took a step forward, looked at Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui and said, "Uchiha Shisui, I have seen your pain in the image..."

"If it weren't confirmed that Itachi had betrayed the organization, we would welcome you to join. Only those who truly understand pain will understand the value of peace."

"The pain we are experiencing now is to help the world understand peace!"

Kakashi had to interrupt the mysterious man and said, "I really can't understand why you still work for the masked man since you know you are just being used by him. Do you have any deep hatred with Konoha?"

Xiaonan glanced at Payne: "..."

In fact, she was looking at Nagato through Pain's eyes. At this time, she was the only one who knew the grudge between Nagato and Konoha.

Payne responded: "It is precisely because we have experienced pain that we share the same dreams and beliefs with 'A Fei'."

He opened his arms and showed an attitude of acceptance. "Only the grand Moon Eye Project can realize this dream..."

Kakashi was very confused about this. What on earth had brainwashed these people?

As early as in the first video, the masked man mentioned the Moon Eye. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Moon Eye is nothing more than projecting the Moon Reading Technique onto the moon, making people fall into illusions, being domesticated by the illusory beautiful world, and losing the ability to think for themselves.

He winked at Shisui behind him, signaling him to leave and let him delay time.

"'A Fei' is the masked man, right? What exactly did you and he go through--"

The word "pain" had not yet been uttered.

Everyone present felt a terrifying pressure, a force so powerful that it was beyond their imagination!

"Question~"

This time, the voice that said "question" was no longer the scary mechanical voice like before, but a pleasant male voice. However, there was an indescribable sense of weirdness in the voice...

Perhaps ordinary people would just instinctively feel that this sound makes them uncomfortable.

But those present at this moment are all S-rank ninjas or rebel ninjas who have experienced countless dangerous missions and witnessed all kinds of tragic situations!

"This sound..."

This voice belongs to an extremely terrifying person who ignores the value of life and regards himself as the true God!

Often people categorize this sound as:

Sick!

That’s right, it’s an extremely serious mental illness, where thinking, logic, and values ​​are far from human nature!

But vaguely, they felt that they seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before...

But wait!

What's happening here? !

Kakashi assumed a wary stance, as did Shisui, Pain, and Konan.

He is...

Kakashi, Shisui, Pain, Konan, and even... Itachi? !

The leader of the Akatsuki organization, Uchiha Itachi, wearing a black robe with red cloud patterns!

The most important thing is, they suddenly returned to Konoha from the border area of ​​the Land of Fire? !

At this moment, the two Hokage, the advisory group, and the newly arrived Fourth Raikage and his group and Third Tsuchikage and his group in the Hokage Building, all sensed the abnormal fluctuations at the same time!

They came to the square in front of Konoha Ninja School!

They saw Hatake Kakashi and his group who were supposed to be at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain!

Team 7, which also rushed to the scene, was also shocked by the situation!

Sasuke saw Uchiha Itachi and shouted desperately: "Brother!!"

Naruto exclaimed, "What the hell is going on?!"

From the beginning, his chakra became extremely unstable, and the Nine-Tailed Fox in his body fell into a deep sleep, and before falling asleep, it reminded him to be careful.

Two voices sounded at the same time!

"question--"

"Question~"

"!!!"

"two?!!"

"Two horrible voices?! What the hell is going on?!!"

One of the voices was a familiar metallic human voice. Although it was weird and scary, they were used to it.

Another voice…

It was the same morbid voice that Kakashi and the others had heard before, one that ignored life and seemed like a god-like voice that was superior to everyone!

Although the tone was strange, they had a sense of déjà vu...

If they had ever known such a person with such ability, they believed they would never forget it!

At this moment, they did not notice the gloomy and livid expressions of Senju Tobirama and Uzumaki Mito...

They both spoke at the same time:

"Big brother..."

"Hashirama!!"

That's right!

Maybe others heard it wrong, but they were both very familiar with this voice!

The owner of this voice is no one else!

It was the first Hokage, known as the God of Ninja——

Senju Hashirama! !

……

What the hell does this happen?

Tobirama Senju, the younger brother of the first Hokage, had his heart pounding wildly.

That ominous premonition actually came true!

More and more people arrived at the gate of Konoha Ninja School out of curiosity or as fighters on standby.

Among them are representatives of the five major powers:

The two Hokage and his party,

The Fourth Raikage and his party,

The Third Tsuchikage and his party,

The group of people representing the Hidden Mist Village,

The group represented the Sand Village.

"..."

Pain and Konan watched silently as ninjas from various countries surrounded them.

"Are you going to start a war? Even if all the people from your five major ninja villages are——"

Xiaonan: “?!!!”

Everyone present was looking at the leader of the Akatsuki organization who had destroyed the entire Konoha village in one fell swoop in the video, the man with orange hair and the Rinnegan...

He was walking slowly towards the crowd.

The crowd moved to the sides like waves avoiding a storm.

Only the red-haired woman who was not a Konoha ninja looked directly into the Rinnegan and softly called out her son's name:

"Nagato..."

Xiaonan: "!!!"

She turned around suddenly and looked at the red-haired woman. Her hair color was exactly the same as Nagato's!

Back then, when Yahiko was still alive, the three of them would occasionally talk about their families in private after a rare full meal.

Of course Konan had heard of Nagato's mother!

In order to protect Nagato, his parents both died at the hands of Konoha ninjas - that's right!

"Pein!" Xiaonan pulled Pein's sleeve and signaled him to be careful, "Konoha may have a trick..."

Pain paused for a moment, but with this woman around, he would never easily launch the Shinra Tensei, the All-Seeing Tensei, or summon giant monsters to attack Konoha.

When Payne stopped.

Fuso stared at this man who was obviously Konoha's enemy...

To be exact, she stared into his eyes, eyes that were exactly the same as her son's.

"Excuse me, do you know a child named Nagato?"

With just this one sentence, Fusang's tears rolled down, and the ending tone was trembling.

She was both looking forward to good news and afraid of hearing bad news.

Payne:…

He didn't know how to answer this question.

Since Yahiko's death, he believed that he was dead, but he inherited Yahiko's will and continued to live as Pain, pursuing the ideal of peace.

"H-Nagato, is he still...alive?"

Fuso saw previous images where her son and Uchiha Itachi were resurrected, meaning that in another timeline, her son died three years later.

……

[“I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Sorry to have kept you waiting~”]

At this time, a voice sounded. It had the voice of Hashirama Senju, but the tone and personality were completely different. It was obviously the one who asked the question!

Senju Tobirama had a gloomy expression on his face as he waited for the other party's next words.

[“Before that, I hope someone will stop hiding and show up.”]

Whether it is the second-generation Hokage, Tobirama Senju, or the third-generation Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Their first reaction was Danzo Shimura!

Because he is hiding deep in the "roots" at this moment.

However, they all guessed wrong!

What was picked out by the "New Horror Questions and Answers" was actually——

Everyone exclaimed:

"Masked man?!!!!"

Of course, Uchiha Itachi and Xiaonan also have different names:

"hooligan?!"

"spot?!!"

Sasuke was shocked, this person is Uchiha Madara? ! !

I am actually his chakra reincarnation? ! !

The "unknown man" who fell out of the Shenwei Space was in a terrible mood!

It’s fine if I’m pulled out by a strange force!

Why did you fall at the feet of that fake guy? ! ! !

Kakashi: "..."

If it were any other time, Senju Tobirama might have laughed at Uchiha Obito's embarrassment, but now, he was not in the mood to laugh at all.

Because of his eldest brother's voice and the vague uneasiness, the reincarnated Second Hokage, who knew the direction of the Fourth Ninja World War, felt a loss of control over the unknown!

Of course, the one who felt even more out of control was the masked man, Uchiha Obito!

He found that he couldn't return to the Shenwei space!!!

Moreover, I am at a loss for what to do with the new scary questions and answers!!

The ninjas of Konoha and the newly arrived representatives of the five major countries immediately surrounded the "masked man"!

Naruto frowned, this situation confused him: "What's going on?! Why are there two voices? Are they both here to post questions?!"

All he wanted now was when his eight cards would arrive.

Unfortunately, with the appearance of the question and answer with the voice of Senju Hashirama, the original "horror question and answer" seemed to have disappeared...
