Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

The battle was still going on. On the fourth screen, the wandering Naraka Path was defeated by Konohamaru with a ball-shaped sealless jutsu, which surprised everyone.

But before the crowd was further shocked, Konoha's Deva Path had already chased the fleeing Chōji to Tsunade.​​

Kage-level confrontation!

The battle rating instantly climbed!

Countless people nervously watched Deva Path and Tsunade confronted each other. Tsunade, as the Fifth Hokage, was surrounded by four Anbu.

But everybody could see that she had lost momentum!

Compared to Deva Path's heavy atmosphere, the calmness shown by Konoha's Fifth Hokage looked fake!

Because she was a Kage, she had to pretend to be calm!

...

"The Fifth Hokage doesn't look very strong ..."

"Why did she only appear now? Is she worthy of being a Kage?"

"She doesn't deserve it! If Third Hokage-sama were here, he would meet the enemy the moment he showed up, and we wouldn't have lost a lot of Konoha shinobi!"

Several villagers in Konoha watched the video with tears in their eyes. The familiar scenes in the video made them panic, wanting to substitute the village leader with another one.

In their hearts, Hokage-sama was an invincible being, a God!

As soon as they appeared, these people who disturb the village would be immediately suppressed.

But as the Fifth, Tsunade, didn't deserve to be Hokage at all!

She cowered behind Konoha's shinobi until her opponent reached out to her, and she did nothing but summon her beast!

'How did such a person become Hokage?'

'It can't be, just because she was a student of the Third Hokage-sama?'

At that time, looking at Tsunade, who confronted Deva Path, the entire Konohagakure was furious.

...

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe, and his fingers subconsciously tapped on the stem.

Unlike ordinary shinobi, how could he not know the duties of a Kage?

What Konoha needed at that time was a brilliant mind, not a muscle-headed leader.

Senju Tsunade did a good job, and she deserved the name of Hokage.

'It's just...'

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the six figures in the picture and sighed with a trace of guilt in his heart.

The fighting had been going on for so long, and besides the people of the Ino–Shika–Chō group, Sarutobi Hiruzen only saw one of his family members, Hatake Kakashi.

People should know that Konoha had 30 to 40 clans and families, large and small. With the strength shown by these Pains, a clan could bury them by bringing out their few Jōnins.

But who would have thought that these families would let Akatsuki wreak havoc in Konohagakure?

'Internal fights actually affected the external fight!'

'Do each of these families think they were Shimura Danzō?'

'Stupid!'

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed a trace of coldness. He didn't care whether those groups of people had any opinions about Tsunade's coming to power or why he only saw Konohamaru.

'Some people should be given a visit soon!'

...

"Ayame, do you think we should move?"

Ichiraku Teuchi ... No, Rāmen Ichiraku's shop owner, Teuchi, slapped his palm, narrowing his eyes, looking at his beautiful young daughter, and asked aloud.

He came to Konohagakure with Ayame because Konoha was the largest shinobi village, which was very safe, but now it seemed that Konoha wasn't too safe!

Just now, he saw that the three-headed dog almost accidentally destroyed Rāmen Ichiraku's Store in the video.

He had already seen that Konoha shinobi had done their best to some extent, but Akatsuki obviously wasn't going all out.

In order to get news of Uzumaki Naruto, they wouldn't directly kill everyone, but when they found information about Uzumaki Naruto, they would definitely kill everyone.

'Maybe...'

'One move could blow Konoha flat!'

'No, no way!'

'Konoha is too dangerous. I'd better take Ayame with me!'

...

As if to verify his guess, Deva Path asked Tsunade for Naruto in the video, but Tsunade directly refused.

At this moment, a Hokage's duty was fully reflected in her. She was the Hokage that had to protect everyone in Konohagakure, not one person!

At this moment, countless people began to understand, and some of them understood Senju Tsunade.

She didn't show up because she had to do more important things. In fact, her heart was heavier than anyone else.

Just as the crowd somewhat understood Tsunade, the scene took a sharp turn for Konoha.

Human Path suddenly appeared behind Shizune and directly launched a soul-sucking technique to capture Shizune's memory and kill her.

Pain got the news he wanted, so he didn't care. He decided to use the Shinra Tensei to erase Konoha from the shinobi world in one fell swoop.

"At this moment, let the world feel pain!"

Glancing at the frozen Senju Tsunade, Deva Path turned around coldly, his body drifting up slowly.

Tsunade looked up and saw the dazzling light behind Deva Path. All she could see was a dark figure with a big shadow and two strange Rinnegan.

At the same time, all the scenes on the live broadcast combined into one, and everyone's attention was focused on Deva Path.

'What is he going to do?'

'Why is he flying?'

Questions kept appearing in their minds, but before they could understand, the answers had already appeared!

"Shinra Tensei!"

Deva Path was blazing high in the air, and an invisible repulsion force spread rapidly with him at the center of the circle.

The repulsion ball expanded rapidly and instantly touched the ground. The Konoha building beneath Deva Path's feet bore the brunt of the huge pressure and was instantly destroyed.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

With the constant enlargement of the repulsion circle, explosions sounded, and Konoha's buildings began to disappear.

Not collapse, but disappear! As if erased!

Not even the remains of the building!

The repulsion passed by, and everything in Konohagakure turned to rubble, leaving only the solid ground as if it were a desert.

Countless people began to die, whether civilians or shinobi, whether Genin or Chūnin. They could not resist this miraculous force and were destroyed instantly.

Only the Jōnin could rely on speed to avoid the expanding force.

Outside the live broadcast, watching Konoha's Hokage Rock with the five Hokage's faces symbolizing the glorious history of Konoha were destroyed one by one... silence fell.

With sullen faces, the whole atmosphere in the village was depressing.

They thought that they took Akatsuki seriously enough, but to their surprise, it was still not enough!

Far from enough!

...

The Fourth Raikage's face swelled with blue veins. He was secretly pleased when he first saw Konoha destroyed and even joked with Darui.

But now...

Even if the prophecy came true, and Akatsuki destroyed Konoha with one jutsu, he didn't have any joy and even wanted to slap his forehead.

'I just had to run my mouth...'

This power, this godlike force, couldn't be stopped by Konohagakure, nor could his Kumogakure or any of the other shinobi villages defeat it.

This wasn't a level a shinobi could achieve. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he couldn't admit it, but in his mind, this power shouldn't belong to a human!

...

Smack!

The pipe in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth fell from his stunned mouth. He didn't pick it up, and the two Anbu behind him didn't stop it. They let it fall from the roof and hit a passerby's head.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were dull, and he couldn't wait to slap himself.

'Is this a Kage-level shinobi?'

'Is this a Kage-level that could be overcome by mere Jōnin?'

'What nonsense!'

A single person could erase a shinobi village from the map. How could a Kage-level shinobi do that?!

'Even a Sage couldn't do that!'

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as if he had lived his whole life in vain!

Thanks to that, he has been angrily scolding Danzō for being short-sighted, but now it seemed that he was the blindest one!
