Naruto's Exam

"Konan." At this time, Pein suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence, "If Hatosuke could arrive in time, would Yahiko be able to survive?"

"Nagato..." Konan looked worried. She knew Nagato too well. He would take all the responsibility on himself.

[In the picture, the man wearing the white vortex mask left. ]

[The corpses scattered all over the ground announced that the first generation of Akatsuki - this organization that carried the dreams of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan and had been painstakingly managed for many years... had come to an end. ]

[A new generation of Akatsuki was established under the impetus of the masked man. The leader's cape was changed to a black background with red clouds...]

Payne said in a deep voice: "Ban, answer me a question."

The masked man remained silent.

Pein then asked: "Why did you want to kill Yahiko?"

"You're wrong. It's Hanzo of the Rain Village and Danzo of the Land of Fire who want Yahiko to die." The masked man responded, "However, if he doesn't die, it will indeed cause me trouble because he is too alert. You can understand that he is not as easy to be used as you are."

Pein was silent. Faced with such an answer, he was speechless for a moment. In the distance, a voice similar to his voice sounded, helping him find the words: "When it comes to 'easy to be exploited', you and Uchiha Madara are not qualified to judge others."

“!!!”

If the Second Hokage had not already obtained the necessary information, neither Obito nor Madara would be able to endure this anger!

The others, especially Pein, Konan, Kakashi, Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Sasuke and others, all received an important piece of information -

The masked man is definitely not Uchiha Madara!

[In the picture, that moment finally came. ]

[Originally, Akatsuki, who had intended to negotiate with Hanzo and hope to achieve peace through words and trust, now faces a choice similar to that of Hatake White Fang, or even more cruel—]

[Hanzo said on the screen: "I still can't trust you. Why don't you kill each other with the kunai in front of you! Otherwise, this little girl will die!"]

【“Nagato! Yahiko!!” Konan struggled desperately in the grip of the Salamander Hanzo. 】

"..."

Witnessing this scene, all the audience were shocked.

The people of Konoha naturally would not sympathize with the enemy, but they would also secretly curse Hanzo's despicableness, after all, Danzo was planning behind the scenes.

The people of the Hidden Rain Village looked at their village chief and what the angel had experienced, and prayed painfully, hoping that a miracle would happen like the picture in Naruto's eyes...

They saw—

The red-haired Nagato bent down to pick up the kunai, but when he turned around in fear to seek help from the Akatsuki leader Yahiko...

In an instant, the world turned pale in the eyes of the three people.

Yahiko collided with the kunai in Nagato's hand.

This scene was too similar. Kakashi felt his right hand go numb. The scene when his Raikiri pierced Lin's chest was vivid in his mind...

Konan and Nagato wanted to turn their heads away in pain...

at this time!

The screen showed a scene that they had never known about or even thought about! ! !

[On the screen——

In the warm little wooden house, which was isolated from the cold rain outside, Konan was bandaging Yahiko's wound.

Konan was prettier when she was a girl than she is now, and Yahiko was not Pain, but an outstanding young man full of dreams and leadership.

In the girl's worried eyes, the young boy's ignorant love brought them closer to each other...

Outside the house, the red-haired boy, caught in the rain, smiled with sincere blessings to the two. 】

……

When they were still confused and hadn't realized that Yahiko and Pein were two people, and were looking at the two hostile leaders who suddenly appeared with strange eyes, the scene suddenly switched!!!

[The scene jumps to the outside of the wooden house.]

The red-haired boy Nagato cowered in fear of his own strength.

As the only girl among the three, Xiaonan found Nagato, comforted him, and untied his knot...

Then, almost as expected, a common scene in Konoha's traditional two-man-one-woman team model happened to them...

Nagato suddenly grabbed Konan's hand!

Even heavy rain cannot cool down the warmth of this interweaving of family, friendship and love. 】

The hearts of Konan and Nagato who were watching the movie suddenly tightened!!!

Because in the picture, Yahiko, who was leaning against a tree not far away, obviously saw this scene! !

Nagato: “Yahiko…Yahiko he…” Fear, guilt, or other emotions instantly filled Nagato.

[There is also a brief flashback that reveals the three people of that period.

Yahiko found Konan and told her that his power was limited and that Nagato, who had the Samsara Eye, was more suitable to be the leader of Akatsuki...

In the scene, Yahiko had his back to Konan. It was not until today, when Konan watched the movie here, that she realized that Yahiko's eyes were full of helplessness and unwillingness.

This kind of three-person team with mutual trust and competition was originally designed by the Second Generation Hokage. Apart from war and death, it is the team model that can best stimulate the potential of young ninjas.

Although Nagato, who arrived later, led the other members of Akatsuki and determined that Yahiko was the leader of the organization, the trouble in his heart was that he would always restrict himself. 】

……

The scene returns to the moment when Yahiko collided with Nagato's kunai.

Blood flowed from the corner of Yahiko's mouth, and there was a smile of relief and blessing on his tired face.

["Nagato, no matter what..."]

[“You and Xiaonan must survive.”]

Yahiko slipped from Nagato's shoulder and fell to the ground. At that moment, a sound that none of them heard came out from the screen, Yahiko's inner voice!!!

['You two...be happy...']

“!!!!!!”

"Yahiko——! Yahiko!!"

Payne and Konan, who were watching the movie, called out their companions' names at the same time.

【"Yahiko——————!"]

[In the picture, the girl screams in pain. ]

【After that, there is only the newly born Akatsuki, and...】

[In the city at night, a mysterious man named Nagato is covered with energy bars. 】

[The symbol of Akatsuki - the heavenly voice of Konan. ]

[Tendo Pain, transformed from his close friend Yahiko. 】

"This thing!!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Is it actually man-made?!"

"The previous Paynes were all replicas! No wonder they couldn't be killed no matter how hard we fight them. They are no longer alive!!!"

"The Samsara Eye is indeed the eye that controls the power of life and death."

As their mentor, Jiraiya watched the video and finally understood what his disciples had gone through after he left...

"Konan, Nagato..." Jiraiya had no way to comfort them and could only quote Yahiko's last wish: "Did you misunderstand Yahiko's last wish?"

Konan and Nagato were still in shock.

Xiaonan was too far away at the time and didn't hear these words.

Nagato was already in a daze the moment Yahiko passed away, and didn't pay any attention to what Yahiko said.

"And Konan... must live..." Pain's voice whispered under Nagato's control, and Konan was also shocked by the fragments in the image.

In the bustling Konoha City——

An experienced ninja said humorously: "Hey! I also encountered this situation in the past! So, Second-generation Hokage, your trio is too cunning! Back then, my brother and I liked the same girl at the same time, and I chose to quit..."

"Hmph!" The second generation Hokage curled his lips and ignored these young people who were taking advantage of him!

"Putting aside other factors, it is also a liberation and blessing for myself and my best friends, hmm." A defecting young ninja commented.

Then a stone flew over, "What do you know, kid?" Oonoki shouted at his former disciple.

At this time, someone shouted: "Hey! Look, why did the video turn into a scene of the Sand Village?!"

[On the screen, there is a vast desert. ]

Chisha saw a boy who was very similar to himself...

"scorpion!!!"

[The puppet of the Third Kazekage falls to the ground. ]

Although we know that Konan's ninjutsu is related to magical paper, the video does not describe in detail how to defeat Sasori and his Third Kazekage puppet.

"Tsk, intelligence error!" The intelligence departments of various villages felt regretful.

[On the screen, under the girl's stern face, powerful enemies fell in front of her one after another, including Sasori and Hidan, who were forcibly pulled into the Akatsuki organization. ]

[“Then you should join Akatsuki,” Konan said bluntly to the bloodthirsty Hidan, “Because Akatsuki is a murderous group that will do anything to kill, including assassination, conquest, etc!”]

In front of audiences around the world.

A civilian group that loves peace and pursues peace gradually evolved into a killer group that only accepts S-rank rebel ninjas.

"This is totally putting the cart before the horse!" Naruto was heartbroken. Compared to Akatsuki's actions, he was more heartbroken that Nagato and Konan misunderstood Yahiko's original intention! !

"But..." Ya sighed: "It's really powerful!"

It turned out that the woman had been hiding under Pain's six clones, seemingly ordinary and inconspicuous.

In this video, although it is not detailed, from the paper shuriken, paper clones, secret treasure talisman paper clones...

She fought against the Aburame clan, Shino's father and others alone and ended up in a draw. She even forced the strong rebel ninjas from various villages to join the Akatsuki organization! !

"It was indeed very strong!" Jiraiya recalled.

"Of my three disciples, Konan is much more generous than those two boys." Jiraiya's eyes were sharp: "If Yahiko is a tender person covered by sadness, then Konan is a silent supporter."

[The memory ends, and the scene turns back to the duel between two people in the Akatsuki organization! ]

[On the screen, Konan, who has shown her strength, rushes towards Uchiha Madara again! Her divine paper turns into huge wings, and she approaches the opponent like a fighting angel under the cover of countless paper shurikens! ! ]

[“Little girl, don’t underestimate Uchiha’s Sharingan!!”]

[A large amount of divine paper passed through Uchiha Madara's body, as if he was just an illusion. ]

[However, the moment Konan approached, "Uchiha Madara" regained his physical form, and the divine paper around him was sucked into the vortex of his right eye! !]

Hatake Sakumo: "So it's the Uchiha eye technique? Although I haven't seen Uchiha Madara himself, I have seen a lot of Uchiha eye power. This should be the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"This space-time ninjutsu is too powerful." He analyzed: "I guess there is an alternate dimension in his right eye, and everything is absorbed into it."

"Even... the so-called virtualization may be the act of placing part of the body into space."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment when he heard his father's analysis, and did not respond.

Uchiha Obito secretly praised in his heart: As expected of Konoha's White Fang, he could analyze to this level after only looking at it once? !

Senju Tobirama exclaimed: "Smart girl, those are not ordinary blank papers."

Hyuga Neji: "It's a secret treasure charm! There are a lot of secret treasure charms mixed in the white paper!"

Under the control of Konan's chakra, the secret treasure talisman was sucked in by "Uchiha Madara" and ignited and exploded! !

[“I will take you to hell with me!!”]

[“I’m already living in hell.”]

There were two voices. The first one was Xiaonan's, and the second one was... the voice that destroyed the world! Sure enough, that was not the masked man's companion, but his other identity! !

【White light enveloped the entire screen.】

[Everything returned to calm, the falling raindrops stirred up countless ripples on the sea surface, unburned white paper, torn Xiao robes, and... the broken remains of the mask. ]

"do you died?!"

"Both sides?! Both enemies died together?! Great!!"

"No, that's just in the picture. There are two of them, no, three of them right there..."

Kakashi: !!!!!!

[Seeing the broken mask, Minato stares at the screen: "It will be
