Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed? Chapter 5
Advertisement
In the examination space, the Akatsuki crowd also snapped out of their shock and looked at their leader, Pain.
They didn't expect that the leader that had the Eye of Six Paths would be that crazy!
Leading them against the entire shinobi world!
Such a worthy leader!
Kakuzu nodded with satisfaction, recognizing Pain's position as the leader from the bottom of his heart.
As an old monster who survived the Warring States Period, he always felt that his leader was too weak.
He obviously had unimaginable power, but he didn't want profit.
He never thought such a person would end up becoming a big threat!
Kakuzu shook his head. He really would live long enough to see everything.
He had long since become a monster after fusing with Earth Grudge, and as long as his four hearts weren't destroyed at the same time, he was an immortal being.
Besides, it was a secret that he never told anyone.
Kakuzu tried to eliminate all the impossible answers and finally was left with only one answer that he felt was the most irrelevant.
"If I die, I think we can rule out the fourth answer."
At the back of the crowd, Uchiha Obito and Zetsu looked at each other without saying anything.
'Akatsuki would be destroyed?'
With the two of them in it, Akatsuki would certainly be destroyed!
Then that option D, was about the two of them.
At most, adding one more. Uchiha Madara!
Therefore, in their hearts, the fourth was the correct answer.
Listening to Kakuzu, ruling out the fourth option, Obito and Zetsu looked at each other and read the meaning in each other's eyes at the same time.
'Kakuzu is a fool!'
'Stay away from him later!'
At the same time, Uchiha Itachi was surprised to see option D.
'Has it been discovered?'
'My identity as a spy is going to be exposed?'
He immediately turned alert.
On the contrary, Orochimaru, with a smile on his face, looked at the question and answers.
He didn't want to participate in the exam and knew that even if he did, he still wouldn't believe him with Akatsuki's leader's character.

Anyway, he was no longer a member of Akatsuki, whatever the outcome.
If Akatsuki was destroyed, didn't that mean that he would get a chance to get their eyes?
'Hehe, then it was better for them to get destroyed.'
'It's better if they died.'
Orochimaru was prepared to find an opportunity to mark all these people, and when they died, he would pick up their corpses for himself.
'And...'
Orochimaru licked his lips, his heart bursting with enthusiasm.
'Number one hardest to completely kill in the shinobi world.'
'It seems that my research on immortality will succeed.'
...
"If we have to make a choice, we can rule out the second one. With our strength, it wouldn't be difficult to overthrow the entire shinobi world, so why would we be afraid of some small Allied Shinobi Forces?"
The one who spoke was Zetsu. After deep consideration, he was ready to help the crowd eliminate the second option since the correct answer had already been eliminated by Kakuzu anyway.
Nobody here knew more about the shinobi world and its strengths than he did.
He had 100,000 White Zetsus under his command, the weakest was at Chūnin level, and the strongest matched the strong Kage level powerhouses.
With the current power of the shinobi world, not to mention the Allied Shinobi Forces, even if those people from the moon were added, they could be easily destroyed with the turn of his palm.
If it weren't for the conditions for unsealing his mother, this shinobi world would have been destroyed a hundred times over.
"In that case, only options A and C remain."
...
"No way, they're actually trying to overthrow the shinobi world? Haha!"
"Hahaha, that strange leaf monster is making me laugh to death. The Allied Shinobi Forces being too small? Overthrowing the entire shinobi world?"
"Did he eat too much fertilizer and burn his brain?"
"Overthrow the whole shinobi world? My Konohagakure is here, try it!!"
"It's just a frog at the bottom of the well. How could he know how vast the world is?"
"Sixteen people. Including Orochimaru, there are only seventeen. They are the small ones, but they have big mouths."

...
"Shikaku, which one do you think is the correct answer?"
The Third Hokage looked at Shikaku, who was frowning and pondering and spoke out to interrupt his thoughts.
They saw everything that happened in the exam space.
Every word spoken by the Akatsuki crowd was also clearly audible.
The other party inexplicably ruled out B and D, which seemed ridiculous to the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He asked Shikaku for the correct answer. It was because he knew the answer to the question.
Besides him, there was another person at the scene who knew!
Uchiha Itachi!
"What does Hokage-sama think?"
"The fourth option."
A smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face for the first time in a long time.
Uchiha Itachi was his exclusive spy. Combined with the fourth option, Sarutobi Hiruzen could easily guess that Itachi and Konoha must have destroyed Akatsuki.
It seems that it was his own cooperation with Itachi, took these people down in one fell swoop.
'This group of Akatsuki members was nothing much!'
"I think Hokage-sama is correct."
...
On the other hand, Pain looked at the two remaining answers.
The unrealistic goal of peace in the shinobi world and Akatsuki members taking off their clothes during the battle, respectively.
'The goal of peace in the Shinobi world ...'
'Will come true!'
'That was Yahiko's dying wish. I will definitely be able to fulfill it for him.'
"I choose C. The answer is C ..."
....
"What? He chose the third option?"
"Is he stupid?"
"Haha, those circle eyes of his are consuming his IQ!"
Seeing Pain choose the third answer, a chorus of boos rang out from all over the shinobi world.
How could the demise of an organization be so dramatic?
Could it be that the members of their small organization would die if they took off their clothes in battle?
Cut it out!
How could mere clothing control a shinobi's life?
Strip and die?
Some shinobi shook their heads. They had thought this Akatsuki was a powerful organization.
"If you ask me, the correct answer is the fourth one. The guy in the wheelchair is so young. I'm sure the guy who just said they should rule out the fourth option lied to him."
"Hehe, I think it's the first answer. Peace in the shinobi world? Don't be ridiculous."
"You go ask the Fourth Raikage, Ay, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and the Tsuchikage Ōnoki. Would they agree to peace?"
"Haha, you said it. Wouldn't that mean destroying all other shinobi villages was just pacification?"
"Hahahaha, anyway, our Konohagakure is the biggest shinobi village. We would destroy them, and they can't destroy us."
"Stop it, don't make noise. It's time for the results."
"Haha, I'm so looking forward to what punishment he'll receive for answering incorrectly."
...
[Correct answer. Do you want to see the analysis?]
"Hmm?"
Looking at the exam space's ruling, the shinobi world instantly fell silent, and everyone became unnerved.
They had all kinds of answers, but none chose the third option.
To highlight their wisdom, they were even more impatient to tell the crowd beside them the answer. Now, they were instantly hit in the face.
"The answer was C? How is that possible?"
"Really?! Stripping! It'll kill you?"
"I feel that my IQ has been insulted. I want to check the analysis. Check the analysis!"
At that time, people who answered incorrectly in various parts of the shinobi world asked to see the analysis.
But people in the space couldn't hear their demands. The space wouldn't open the analysis because of their demands.
"Standing on high for a long time, you know that the most unlikely things are often the most possible!"
Pain's voice spoke proudly. Then, he turned his head to the crowd.
The Six Paths of Pain lined up behind him, seven pairs of Rinnegan all together stared at the crowd behind him.
With a sneer on his lips, he said, "What do you guys think? Do you want to view the analysis?"
'Grrr!'
Hearing Pain's words, a drop of cold sweat dripped from Zetsu's face.
Obito's palm turned wet.
Itachi blinked, his pupils opened.
"Space, show me the analysis!"

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)

8 189Earth's Hydra
Earth, the planet we live on. It is a fairly mundane place to some and they wish to escape, to trade in Earth for a wonderful land full of magic and monsters where adventure awaits for the ones thirsty enough for excitement to live in danger every second of their lives. As for others, it has the potential to become more, to become a planet that births a breed or species that will explore the stars and innovates technologies that can lead to the answers of the universe and maybe even start a race that is immortal. This immortal race will forever explore the stars and create new planet shaking inventions. Some just want to live their lives to the fullest and accept what they have already, enjoying the love of family and experience what is the “modern life”. There is one thing that everyone can agree on though, Earth is home. Our Home. We have always lived in the darkness, away from the prying eyes of more advanced or dangerous species that live in the outer reaches of the boundless void that is space. We did not know this though, as for our Mother, Earth, has protected us without our knowing until we have become intelligent enough, cultivated many advanced beings, and even have the ability and will to unite if put against the corner. Now, Earth has run out of energy and can no longer protect us, her children, and it is now our turn to protect her. To protect our Home. The protection of Earth has been put into the hands of Earth's Hydra, an 8 group organization that has enough battle power for 8 other planets! ******************** The cover picture is an editted version and here is the original, all credit goes to them. https://www.rgdd-darkdesigns.com/hydra.html
7.91 162Barry Buckman and the Interdimensional Beastiary
In the beginning of 2021 I did something possibly stupid, I hired a ghostwriting company to write one of the many ideas going on in my head since I was busy with my job. Unfortunately... They were not the greatest, after the first writer assigned to me left I was stuck with... We'll just call her 'Karen'. Karen didn't want to listen to my feedback on chapters, and turned what was supposed to be a long story about a young guy surviving on an island of supernatural and crazy stuff, and becoming stronger from it, was turned into a not so great romance novel.I plan on releasing another one, probably after this that will be Barry Buckman Redux, which will be me writing it out the way I originally envisioned it.
