Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed? Chapter 46
Advertisement
"Nah, Uzumaki Naruto is eating ramen inside. I also want to eat some ramen."
"No money."
"You're a bad man, I don't like you!"
Kanna puffed up and looked at Kakuzu. She brought him here, and he wouldn't even invite her to eat one bowl of ramen.
Kanna looked at Uzumaki Naruto, who was devouring his food in the ramen store, with deep envy in her eyes.
Eating ramen, free of charge ...
He must be very happy.
Hidan saw the little girl pouting. Stretching out his hand, he took out a money bag from under Kakuzu's sleeve and threw it to Kanna.
"Yes ~!"
Kanna cheered and rushed into Rāmen Ichiraku, "Boss, three bowls of ramen!"
"There are too many people around him, and we can't get exposed. We can't lay hands on him right now."
Kakuzu glanced around Rāmen Ichiraku and closed his eyes slowly as if the tired old lady was closing her eyes.
After Kakuzu finished speaking, he suddenly found Kanna walking out with a bowl of ramen. Looking at Kakuzu, she tilted her little head and handed the noodles to Hidan.
Hidan froze, looked at Kakuzu, smiled warmly, and took the ramen.
Kanna threw the money bag to Kakuzu and skipped her way back.
"Jealous, right? Hahaha."
Hidan blew a few breaths in Kakuzu's direction, looked at Kakuzu's ugly face, laughed, and took a big bite.
Kakuzu got up and was about to leave when he found Kanna holding a bowl in front of him.
"Hey, big bad guy, this is for you."
Kakuzu froze, his pair of eyes narrowed. He did not expect that this small girl had even bought a bowl for him.
Watching Kanna run back again, Kakuzu suddenly spoke up: "This little thing of yours, it's quite interesting."
"That's right!"
...
"Boss, do it. I've watched the surroundings. That kid is alone!"
Not far away from the undead duo, a dozen wandering shinobis stared at Rāmen Ichiraku.
They weren't professional bounty hunters. However, the price offered by the underground bounty house was too high, so high that even if they knew that Konoha was at the deep end of the pool, they still snuck into it.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute."
The person who was called the boss squeezed his somewhat damp palm, and his heart was incomparably nervous.

Although this wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, it was the first time he looked for trouble in a major shinobi village.
At the same time, on the other side, several figures were looking at this group of wandering shinobis, and the presence at the head of the group snorted coldly.
'I never thought that these damn guys would dare to steal business from us.'
"Wait a minute, let them do it first. Let them attract Konoha's attention, and then we'll make our move."
"Hehehe, the boss is wise!"
.....
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama, the Kazekage looking for you."
"Rasa is looking for me?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned. At this time, all the candidates taking the Chūnin exam had arrived in Konoha, and the Kages of the other shinobi villages should all be resting in their exclusive places.
"What does he want from me?"
"He said that he knew something about Orochimaru and wanted to consult with you."
"Orochimaru?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen once again wondered how Orochimaru had anything to do with Rasa.
"Let him come in."
.....
At the Uchiha clan's area, a figure in a black robe stood there quietly. In front of him was the ancestral monument of the Uchiha clan!
Uchiha Itachi looked at it for a long time and finally concluded that the tablet had been tampered with.
Uchiha Itachi instantly had a murderous look.
'As expected, behind the Uchiha riots ...'
It wasn't just the Uchiha clan who encouraged his father to rebel. There was another conspiracy behind this.
.....
"Do it!"
"Aji, Asan. You lead the men to create chaos and attract the attention of the others. Ashi and Ago, you come with me."
Seeing that Uzumaki Naruto was leaving after eating some ramen, the leader of the wandering shinobis gave a direct order.
A dozen figures scurried out together, kunai explosive talismans in their hands shot indiscriminately, and suddenly a series of explosions appeared on the streets of Konohagakure.
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of explosions continued. Anbu and Root, who were scattered all over Konoha, moved simultaneously and rushed towards where the explosion took place.
Looking at the explosion not far away, Kakuzu and Hidan frowned at the same time. They didn't expect someone to launch an attack at this time.

'Isn't that just stupid?'
Kakuzu squinted at the figure rushing towards Rāmen Ichiraku and frowned. Such a crude attack couldn't be from his own colleague.
Then, Kakuzu saw several figures behind these people, and suddenly his heart fell.
"Be careful!"
Uzumaki Naruto heard the explosion, looked at Kanna, who was walking out the door with a bowl of ramen and directly threw her down.
A shattered log with fire shot from the side of the two and plunged into the opposite wall.
Uzumaki Naruto got up, picked up Kanna, and ran.
Opposite the two, watching Kanna being taken away by Uzumaki Naruto, Kakuzu and Hidan looked at each other and quietly followed.
"After them!"
When the wandering shinobi saw Uzumaki Naruto flee and was just about to give the order, a brilliant glint of a blade appeared. In the next moment, he was already on the ground.
Immediately afterward, countless slashes lit up, and all the wandering shinobis were eliminated before they had time to react.
"Confirmed, all dead."
"Confirmed, all dead."
Kakashi, wearing a cat-faced mask, listened to his subordinate's report and pulled his own knife out of the bounty hunter leader's chest with an expressionless face.
These guys, who thought they were well disguised, didn't know that both the wandering shinobis and the bounty hunters were exposed as early as the first moment they entered Konoha.
The reason why they were allowed to live until today was because of the orders from the Third Hokage to make an example out of them.
"Naruto?"
"The Root team is following him."
.....
"Can it be solved quietly?"
Hidan looked at the figure with a mask jumping on the roof in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"We can't."
Kakuzu shook his head. The other three squads were all elite shinobis of Konoha. It wasn't difficult to kill them, but it wasn't something they could do quietly.
"Hmm? Something's going on!"
Kakuzu was stunned and saw the masked figures jumping from above, enclosing Naruto and Kanna in the middle.
"You're ..."
Naruto had just shielded Kanna behind him, and before he could finish, a hand slash struck him on the back of the neck.
Naruto's eyes went dark, and he directly passed out.
Carrying Naruto on his shoulder, the man glanced at Kanna.
Crack.
A pair of hands suddenly reached out from the back of Kanna's neck, covering her head with one hand and holding her chin with the other, and gently twisted it.
Kanna suddenly lost her life.
Everything happened in a flash. Before Hidan and Kakuzu could even react, Kanna had already been killed by Konoha's Root.
Looking at Kanna slowly falling down, Hidan paused.
Then instantly flew into a rage!
He didn't understand why the Anbu of Konoha would kill her!
Just because she saw Uzumaki Naruto being abducted?
It turned out, Konoha was no different from those bounty hunters!
Not even as puritanical as a bounty hunter!
"Dare to harm Jashin-sama's follower! You! All of you have to die!"
Hidan's voice sounded like the wail of evil spirits. He slowly pulled out his Retractable Spear and gave it a gentle tug.
"Hidan, calm down!"
Kakuzu stretched out his hand and grabbed Hidan's shoulder, trying to stop Hidan, only to find that Hidan's rickety-looking body was already standing tall, and somehow the red cloud robe had already appeared on him.
"My people were killed! You're telling me to calm down?!"
"Now, I finally know why there are so few followers of Jashinism!"
"If the wicked are not removed, it's difficult for believers to survive!"
Hidan looked at Konoha's Anbu not far away, got up slowly, and walked towards them.
The tip of the black Retractable Spear swept against the ground, making a harsh sound.
"Kakuzu, what is your faith?"
"Money."
"Sure enough, you are a bad man!"
Hidan stopped and looked back at Kakuzu, "In the past, I only knew to preach. Now, I know that punishing evil is more important!"
"Hmm, wait for the leader to collect our bodies."
Seeing Hidan's self-exposure, Kakuzu shrugged indifferently, and his body also went back to his original form.
"I must be insane, going crazy like this with you."
He knew that the Kages of the five major shinobi villages were now in Konohagakure.
"Akatsuki!"
"It's Akatsuki's Kakuzu and Hidan!"
The two showed up and were about to snatch Uzumaki Naruto from the Root members.
"Quick, tell Danzō-sama, quickly!"
"Akatsuki's undead duo have invaded Konoha!"

8 287Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
