Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed? Chapter 27
Advertisement
Above the exam space, Ryuji spread the prepared video to everyone's screen.
The initial video was originally prepared by the system, which was long and tedious. If it were played completely, not only would it take a lot of time but also reveal other information.
This wasn't conducive to the opening of the next exam space, so Ryuji trimmed off most of the videos the system gave him, leaving only the parts where the answers could be seen. Incidentally, it also came with background music!
...
Just when everyone inside and outside the space was waiting anxiously, the dark screen for over 10 seconds suddenly lit up. The first thing that was revealed was the title of the video: [Analysis of the Fifth Question]
'Analysis of the fifth question?'
'Only the analysis of the fifth question? Not all the videos?'
'Is it because all the videos would involve future examination questions?'
Some of the brighter minds had already thought of the reason for space to do so, but they couldn't consider it carefully yet. The picture above had already changed.
The first thing that caught the eye was a huge village with five huge stone heads carved into the rock wall in the middle, a highly recognizable structure that made everyone recognize the place at first glance.
'The Land of Fire, Konohagakure!'
"Is that Tsunade?"
"It's her. It seems that she really became the Fifth Hokage!"
"Shit, the images are turning too fast!"
In the midst of all the arguments, and a young child ran past. Behind her, a gray-haired old lady was leaning on a crutch and kindly looking at her little granddaughter.
The picture suddenly changed, and the heartwarming scene left everyone dumbfounded. They were ready to watch a violent fight, only to see such a peaceful scene.
Suddenly, sorrowful music came out of the screen, which was magnificent but extremely sad, as if foretelling something.
...
In Konohagakure, the group of people preparing to request something to Sarutobi Hiruzen all stopped in their place.
They lifted up their heads and looked at the picture above, but their faces became more and more ugly.
They were all shinobis of Konoha, who lived in Konohagakure for many years and were very familiar with every street in Konohagakure.
Therefore, they knew of that street in the video...
'It's all true!'
The street in the corner of the video was where they were standing now!
They had guessed, the scene before them was the tranquility before the storm, and all this would be broken soon!
Among them, a shinobi looked at the image above and began to tremble violently.
Fear, indescribable fear, was attacking him!
He was the same person who had yelled, 'Akatsuki, come here!'
He felt fear because, in the picture, the old woman and the girl were his mother and daughter!
"It's not true. It's not true. It's not true!"
Boom!
A black rocket with a flaming tail suddenly appeared on the screen and detonated at the feet of the old woman, who had no time to react and was directly blown to pieces.
Boiling blood-like red hot rain poured over the little girl's head. The little girl was frozen in place, and before she could react, the building that was bombarded above her collapsed, directly burying her.
"No!"
"No, no! Please, no!"
When he saw the tragic death of his mother and daughter, the shivering shinobi instantly collapsed.
He sat on the ground, looking at the constantly playing video, no longer the same as when he first taunted Akatsuki.

The shinobis around him could no longer care about him, staring at the screen with dead eyes. They were all Konoha shinobis, so naturally, they understood this attack and what it represented.
The attack came so suddenly that the enemy who launched it must have been in Konohagakure.
'Pain and his people had entered Konoha!'
As the scene in the video kept rising, the whole village appeared in the picture, and everyone realized that the explosion wasn't only in that place, but everywhere!
For an instant, everyone looked at the screen in disbelief!
'Directly attacking the village?! This was no longer an invasion!'
'This was war!'
'All-out war!'
'Pain and his men were starting an all-out war!'
'He, surprisingly, wanted to fight against the entire Konohagakure with his own strength!'
'Madness!'
'How arrogant!'
At the same time, the screen in front of everyone was suddenly divided into six. There was a figure with a red cloud robe on each screen with some black sticks stuck in their bodies.
"One person is different!"
Jiraiya looked at the woman on the screen. He narrowed his eyes again and looked at the man of the Fuma clan in front of Nagato.
Sure enough, he had died before Pain invaded Konoha.
Jiraiya's heart sank slightly. He didn't expect to fight to the death but could only eliminate only one person from the other side.
'If it was to this extent...'
'Konoha was hardly a match...'
'Unless ... all of Konoha's shinobis used all of their power.'
Jiraiya looked up with a stony expression.
At this point, all the Pains on the top six screens had already started to move.
The only female Animal Path Pain took the lead, raising her hand to summon several giant animals, and stepped on a summoned monster bird to attack.
As soon as these summoned beasts appeared, they began to attack intensively and indiscriminately. In an instant, Konohagakure suffered numerous casualties. The whole village became increasingly chaotic.
...
"This Fifth Hokage couldn't do anything! "
Danzō hugged his arms and looked at the screen coldly. A touch of gloom appeared in his eyes.
Foreign enemies invaded Konohagakure, and Tsunade was so slow to react!
Beside him, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also gloomy. He thought about it more than Danzō. He knew what this video would reveal next!
'It would expose everything!'
'Konoha's strength!'
'Damn it!'
Sarutobi Hiruzen gripped his fingertips white and stared at the screen. He just couldn't help it. Otherwise, he would have already stopped this video.
...
Meanwhile, on the screen, except for one Pain who didn't move, the other Pains had joined the fight, going against one Konoha shinobi after another.
Almost at the moment of contact, the Konoha shinobi turned into casualties on screen. The weakest Pain was at Kage-level, which was extremely powerful. Ordinary people from Konoha simply couldn't do anything.
Except for delaying their advance with their lives.
This scene made every shinobi in Konoha become serious. Some of those were their comrades, some were their clansmen, and some were even themselves!
Watching themselves die in the video almost drove them crazy, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Now they were full of questions.
'Where was the Hokage?'
'What about the Fifth Hokage?'
As if knowing they would ask this, a seventh screen suddenly appeared on the big screen.
On the screen, the Fifth Hokage was grabbing the advisors, one hand each, and angrily said, "I'm the Fifth Hokage! You must inform Naruto to come back!"

"No, the enemy is looking for him. We can't let him come back!"
"Akatsuki has already gathered all the other tailed beasts. We must not let Naruto come back."
'!'
'!!'
'!!!'
The words of the two Hokage advisors shocked all the top leaders in the shinobi world. The Tailed Beast, the nuclear weapon of Shinobi!
A village with a tailed beast and a village without a tailed beast have completely different voices in the shinobi world.
'But shouldn't Jinchūriki, and their tailed beast, be the best-protected existence in the village?'
'How did they all get taken away?!'
'Could it be!?'
'Could it be!'
'Akatsuki attacked every village in the shinobi world head-on, like how they were attacking Konoha?'
'Konoha, was just the last one?'
So, in fact, in the end, the Allied Shinobi Forces only had a few powerful shinobi left before they were stopped by both Zetsu, Kabuto, and some resurrected corpses!
Thinking of this, a violent killing intent erupted from the eyes of all the Kages!
Staring at the screen.
If that was the truth, they must take the lead!
For this reason, they didn't hesitate to let go of the hatred with other shinobi villages temporarily.
At this moment, everyone who thought about it understood...
The sky was changing in the shinobi world!
Whether Konoha could stop them or not, whether Akatsuki would be left alive or not, the shinobi world had a force above all the Shinobi villages!
...
In Sunagakure, Rasa didn't expect so much. He could become the Kazekage solely because his bloodline limit could bring prosperity to the barren Sunagakure.
The two Kazekage advisors behind him had figured everything out and just wanted to tentatively ask Rasa's opinion when they suddenly heard Rasa swearing, "The last one attacked was Konoha?! Akatsuki, do you look down on my Sunagakure? Damn it! Damn it!"
...
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Tsunade above. He didn't know this woman, but she seemed very gentle.
With his little head leaning on his hand and both his legs swinging back and forth, he waited expectantly for the next scene of the video.
As for his practice?
It was reasonable.
Didn't he recognize Sannin Jiraiya as a teacher? It made sense to follow him out of the village to practice.
"I hope, when I go out, I will look cool."
...
In Konoha Hospital, Sasuke had a splitting headache. Clutching his own clothes with a death grip, his eyes already flushed red.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
"It's him again, it's him again, it's that loser again!"
"What about me! What about me?!"
He was so shocked by all the events today that his mind had drifted into a trance. He was just holding on now, not allowing himself to pass out.
He had to see for himself that he was better than that loser!
Otherwise, he was unwilling! Very unwilling!
He must be the most powerful shinobi in the future! He must be!
...
Meanwhile, as Pain wreaks havoc, Konoha's senior-level shinobi begin to appear in the video one after another.
The first to appear was a white-haired Hatake Kakashi, who managed to save Iruka from the hands of Deva Path Pain.
Kakashi's appearance shocked everyone.
Pain was too strong. So strong that they couldn't resist him, even in their own village.
They couldn't even form an effective block like the Konoha in the video.
Hatake Kakashi's appearance brought the mood of all the viewers to a climax.
Hatake Kakashi was the most iconic figure in Konoha's new generation. His Lightning Release could cut through anything with one hand and a Sharingan, giving him his own exclusive title in the shinobi world.
Everyone looked at Hatake Kakashi expectantly, hoping that he would miraculously defeat Deva Path Pain like a hero.
Although, he wasn't the answer to the fifth question.
Even the Kages of the other Shinobi villages, who at the moment pride themselves on having everything figured out, look at the screen and hope that Kakashi would win.
Although, they clearly knew that this was impossible.
"Earth Release!"
Hatake Kakashi didn't let them down. After saving Iruka, he hit the ground directly with both hands. With a slight rumble, an Earth Release wall directly surrounded Deva Path Pain.
"Is he going to fight this Pain?"
"Keeping himself and Pain in an encirclement for the sake of others, Kakashi is so awesome!"
"As expected of Kakashi-sama, Kakashi-sama go...!"
Outside the video, the voice cheering for Kakashi suddenly stopped. After putting the Earth Release into effect, Kakashi was directly struck in his left shoulder by a black stick from Pain.
Kakashi was hit hard. However, instead of retreating, he advanced, and his right hand was ablaze with lightning, the Lightning Release - Chidori, that made him famous in the shinobi world.
However, he didn't know that the black stick attack on Pain wasn't only a physical attack; it could also disrupt the victim's chakra.
Deva Path Pain easily escaped Kakashi's attack. Kakashi didn't give the other party a chance to react. He condensed Lightning Release again and released continuous lightning attacks.
For a while, thunder and lightning raged across the screen. The ear-splitting thunder was accompanied by increasingly heavy music, like a sorrowful hymn.
"It's bouncing off! All the thunderbolts are bouncing off!"
"How is that possible? What is that? He didn't make seals at all!"
"Wait, look at the third screen. He's backing up that Pain, oh no, Kakashi is in danger!"
Watching the screen, the creepy fat man swiftly flew and arrived in front of Deva Path; looking at Kakashi with a sly smile, everyone's heart sank.
Kakashi was already exhausted by one opponent, and now with two, Kakashi had no chance of surviving.
Everyone shook their heads in disappointment. It seemed that the miracle they were looking forward to wouldn't happen.
Kakashi wasn't the first Konoha elite to change the tide of battle, but the first Konoha elite to die.
Just as everyone fell silent, a surprised voice suddenly sounded, "Look. He took off his clothes!"
'What?'
'Taking off clothes?'
They looked at the other, only to see a face grow on each side of Asura Path's side profile, and four arms grew on both sides of his body.
With three faces and six arms, clothes would only affect his strength.
Asura Path ripped off the red cloud robe he was wearing, and that action was incomparably spontaneous and cool.
...
"If they strip, they will die! I know, it must be Hatake Kakashi having another powerful technique, right? Turning the battle around!"
"Could it be that he rebounded from death and killed this ugly guy?"
"Asura Path, he took off his clothes ..."
In the space, the Akatsuki crowd looked at Asura Path with strange eyes.
Even Nagato's face was somewhat unnatural.
....
New Week! Vote powerstones guys!
