Naruto's Exam

Naruto looked around, trying to find an answer.

But everyone avoided his gaze, unwilling to touch upon the tragedy of 'Konoha White Fang'.

"Why is this happening?!" Naruto felt vaguely uneasy, "Grandpa Hokage, do you know?"

The Third Hokage pulled his pipe from his mouth and sighed deeply.

During his decades-long career as Hokage, countless elite ninjas such as White Fang, Minato, Hizashi, Dai, and Dan died under his rule.

These regrets and pains are self-evident.

When it comes to White Fang's death, Chisha's opinion is not without reason.

The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi as if asking for advice, and when he saw that he nodded in agreement, he said to Naruto:

"Konoha White Fang was originally a hero on par with Konoha Golden Flash."

Naruto was stunned: "And the golden flash..."

"Yes, that's your father, the Yondaime Hokage."

Naruto asked, "And then? How did Konoha White Fang die?"

"Suicide." Kakashi suddenly said, "My father committed suicide."

All the Genin around were stunned!

A man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Fourth Hokage actually committed suicide?!

"What's going on?" Naruto was surprised. "Suicide means..."

Kakashi looked gloomy. "Suicide that was not part of a mission is not even worthy of being on the memorial tablet. He committed suicide out of fear of punishment because he failed in an important mission and brought huge losses to the village..."

"I don't understand!" Naruto yelled, "What kind of loss needs to be compensated with life?! Or..." He turned his face away in dissatisfaction, "Or a hero like the Fourth Hokage..."

"You are such a naive child." The masked man said, "Where there is light, there must be shadow. You only see the bright side, but ignore the dark shadow..."

"What on earth do you want to say?!" Naruto's straightforwardness was not suitable for listening to such ambiguous words. To be exact, he couldn't understand...

"Tsk..." The masked man said, "There's nothing much to say. No matter how powerful a ninja or a village hero is, after death he is just a pile of dirt, nothing more..."

If you ask again, the masked man will say no more.

[Namikaze Minato stood aside in a ghostly form, and had been watching the masked man for a long time.]

[This man who killed Kushina and released the Nine-Tails, all suspicions point to the same person! ]

[The Uchiha boy who died on the Kannabi Bridge and dreamed of becoming a Hokage! !]

[“Obito… is it really you?” If it is you, then what on earth have you been through?!]

Naruto refused to give up until he got an answer, and Kakashi didn't want to say more. After all, this involved too many secrets and darkness of the ninja village.

The Third Hokage thought that there was nothing that could not be revealed now, and besides, the matter had already spread in other ninja villages, and it would be strange if the people of Konoha were not aware of it.

"White Fang was an outstanding ninja, but it was during a time of war..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "During a crucial mission, White Fang faces a difficult decision."

"What difficult decision?" The three members of Team 7, including this year's Genin, were full of curiosity.

The Third Hokage said solemnly: "Abandon the mission, or abandon your teammates..."

The faces of all the Konoha Genin suddenly turned ugly!

"Abandon the mission... or abandon your teammates..."

Kakashi said solemnly: "That's right... According to the principles of ninja, if it is an important mission, the first choice should be the mission."

"..."For some reason, all the Genin felt lost at this moment.

"But..." Kakashi changed the subject and emphasized again: "Those who don't follow the rules are trash, but those who don't know how to cherish their teammates are even worse trash than them!"

The masked man was familiar with this sentence, because that was what Uchiha Obito had said shortly before his "death".

Jiraiya patted Kakashi's shoulder and agreed with his point of view: "The little brat who followed Minato back then has finally grown up."

Naruto: "So what was the decision made by Konoha White Fang back then?"

“He chose his teammates.”

The genin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their faces lit up with joy, and they whispered to each other: "This is correct, great."

"but--"

A turning point reveals the cruel reality: "The mission failed, causing the village to suffer huge losses."

"It was initially the villagers and other ninja who were blaming me."

"Then even the teammates he saved blamed him."

"In the end, White Fang couldn't stand the rumors and chose to commit suicide at home..."

The smiles of the Genin froze, this turn of events happened too quickly for them to adapt.

A hero as famous as the Fourth Hokage died because of rumors?!

Isn't this a joke to people from other villages?

Rumors...

Those looks and isolation were exactly what Naruto was most familiar with, and it was also what almost overwhelmed Sasuke recently.

"Well..." Kakashi rubbed Naruto and Sasuke's head, "That was a long time ago. The rules will change with the times, and the future belongs to you..."

"era……"

The Second Hokage said: "Yes, the dark times will eventually pass, and whether the light can come depends on your choice."

Uzumaki Mito: "In the era when Tobirama and I lived, the various clans in the ninja world were hostile to each other. There was no system of countries and villages. The nobles and daimyo could exploit ninjas at will and even start wars for entertainment..."

"So, Naruto, what choice will you make in the next era?" asked the Third Hokage.

Naruto was silent for a long time, and when he looked up again, he commented on the matter: "If it is wise to abandon your teammates to complete the mission, then I would rather be a fool for the rest of my life!!"

"I will never give up on my teammates, and I will never betray them!"

"If you ask why..."

"Because I am a ninja from Konoha - Uzumaki Naruto!"

This inspiring oath was accidentally broken by someone.

They always bring up things that are not related to the topic. There will always be Kiba and Kankuro...

They actually responded at this moment: "No wonder the Sasuke in the video is still a Konoha Genin, not a Konoha rebel."

"The feeling is because you don't give up on your teammates!"

Itachi tried his best to save the situation: "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

Sasuke: "!!! No one can save this situation!!"

"You guys..." Sasuke opened his Sharingan, "That was in the video!!! I haven't defected yet!!!"

"puff--"

Hearing Mikoto's laughter, Sasuke's originally fair cheeks began to turn red.

Then laughter was heard from all around.

There were many ninjas and Konoha villagers who had accused White Fang before. The previous topic made them reflect, or rather, White Fang's death had already given them the opportunity to reflect.

And Uzumaki Naruto, the boy they blamed, rejected, and isolated even more, has now and in the future grown into such an outstanding ninja…

[Fragments of memories of returning to the city——]

[Sakumo: "Kakashi, let's talk about what you've been through over the years."]

[In the video, Hatake Sakumo, known as the "White Fang of Konoha", sits at an outdoor cafe in the city and beckons his son to sit next to him.]

Both the Kakashi in the video and the Kakashi who is watching the video now have not seen their father for nearly 20 years.

[“You know, Dad…” Kakashi in the video actually acted like a child. ]

Just like the proud and sensible child who shared his happiness and pain in front of his father. Uchiha Obito looked at the image, as if the real world had returned...

That hilarious idiot Kakashi.

The hero of Konoha, Hatake Sakumo.

And Rin and Minato-sensei...

When mentioning Minato Namikaze, who was indirectly killed by him, Uchiha Obito, who had just taken off his mask, quickly put it back on!

Now he seemed to be pulled between two completely different kinds of people.

Madara's personality urged him to realize the Moon Eye Project. Only in this way could the people he cherished return to him.

In a world filled with love and peace, the war would end and he would keep his promise to Lin.

However, Obito's personality reminded him that there were too many doubts in this matter. Black Zetsu and White Zetsu concealed a lot, and Madara was definitely not a person who pursued the dream of peace!

[In the video, Tsunade learned about Kakashi through the communication device...]

[The ill-fated silver-haired ninja was trapped in the ruins and breathed his last peacefully. ]

"..."

Seeing this scene, the whole audience fell silent, and the silent negativity almost overwhelmed everyone.

"Kakashi-sensei?"

Sakura's voice broke the silence, drawing everyone's attention towards Kakashi.

Then, Kakashi saw a lot of shocked faces.

He smiled and asked: "How--"

Before he finished speaking, he noticed a tear falling from his left Sharingan...

Kakashi lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then turned to the "masked man", but the masked man was watching the image with his back to them, and the mask obscured his view, so no one could see his emotions clearly.

unless...

Uzumaki Mito: "Your chakra is filled with sadness, as if you are about to cry."

"It's so annoying, shut up or I'll kill you." It was still Uchiha Madara's voice.

Mito sighed, turned and left, saying as he walked away: "How many years do you think Tobirama and I have known Madara..."

"..."The masked man did not respond.

[In the video, Tsunade learned of Kakashi's death. She smashed a huge rock to vent her grief, then forced herself to calm down and continue to arrange the battle plan.]

[Chouji who came back to report seemed very calm, reporting the situation of Tendo Pain to the Fifth Hokage, and even mentioned the death of his father Choza...]

[Tsunade: "Go back immediately and send your father to the medical team..."]

【“It means...Dad...”】

Whether in the video or in reality, the 16-year-old Akimichi Chouji and the 13-year-old him stared at the Fifth Hokage with dull eyes.

[Tsunade gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, it's still in time to save him."]

[The plump boy in the video could no longer pretend to be calm, and tears rolled down his cheeks. When he asked Kakashi, the Fifth Hokage turned away in pain...]

The last moment when the image disappears deeply touches people's hearts.

The devastated Konoha is littered with the bodies of familiar companions...

A silver-haired corpse was squeezed by the ruins, cooling quietly in the wind.

That's Kakashi.

...

Kakashi, who was watching the movie, deliberately said: "Oh...I have to watch this scene several times. I don't look that good either."

"Teacher Kakashi! Please be serious!" Sakura taught the teacher angrily.

"Uh..." Kakashi was speechless for a moment.

"Pein..." The masked man finally spoke, his voice still that of Uchiha Madara, full of dissatisfaction and threats, "Are you planning to act on your own?"

Pain: "According to the content of the video, when collecting the tailed beasts, we must do everything we can to make the world experience pain, so that people will understand the value of peace."

"..." Having said that, there was still an unknown fire burning in Obito's heart.

At this moment, that terrifying mechanical voice sounded again!

【question--】

Everyone was stunned, thinking, after watching Pein kill Kakashi, shouldn't the next thing be watching the masked man kill Akatsuki's White Tiger? !

Why did the problem arise again?

-

And it seems to be a familiar question-and-answer format? Why do I feel like someone is being suppressed?

After all, in comparison, although horror quizzes are dangerous, in most cases they are more like a reward temptation from the other party.

Combined with the previous resurrection rules, the dead can be resurrected within an hour, which also made everyone feel somewhat favorable towards the horror quiz.

I even suddenly felt that this question and answer session was much more intimate, but more nervous.

[Question: During the Nine-Tails Rebellion in Konoha 48, the Konoha Collapse Plan in Konoha 60, and the Pein Attack in Konoha 63, what was the main purpose of Konoha Elder Shimura Danzo asking the Root members not to participate in the rescue? ]

"!!!"

The people of Konoha were collectively shocked!

No, the whole world was shocked!!

Just like that... Just like that...

Can I also be the elder of the Ninja Village? ! !

Also, isn't Konoha's 60th year right now?!

What on earth is going on with the Konoha Collapse Plan? ! By the way, why did Tsunade-sama become the Fifth Hokage? What about the Third Hokage? Where did he go? !

As Danzo Shimura's teacher, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, stood there expressionlessly, his inner anger difficult for others to detect.

But the regret of the Third Hokage, as well as the guilt and anger towards Danzo from the two advisors who had always supported Danzo, were obvious...
