Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

[Since the death of Akatsuki's previous leader, the new Akatsuki leader, Nagato, awakened his Rinnegan ability and inherited the dying wish of making the world peaceful and became Pain. After the Fourth Shinobi War, shinobis of the world put aside hatred, developed together, and the shinobi world eventually moved toward peace, so option A is incorrect.]

[Option B is a trick answer. This question is about the time before the Fourth Shinobi War. The Allied Shinobi Forces occurred in the Fourth Shinobi War, and the question does not match the timeline. So, in the Fourth Shinobi War, the two, Zetsu, and Kabuto, stalled the Allied Shinobi Forces, which was not in line with a single side.]​​

[Option D is a confusion option. Although various parties have deceived Akatsuki, the deception of insiders wasn't the direct cause of Akatsuki's demise.]

[Option C: Akatsuki's Rei, Akatsuki's Shō, Akatsuki's San, Akatsuki's Hoku, Akatsuki's Gyoku, Akatsuki's Byaku, and Akatsuki's Genbu all had their red cloud robes destroyed when they died, and Akatsuki's Shu wasn't wearing a red cloud robe when he died. Therefore, this option is the correct answer.]

(note: It's referring to the Akatsuki members' codenames based on their rings' character. "Rei"=Pain/Yahiko, "Shō"=Deidara, "San"=Hidan, "Hoku"=Kakuzu, "Gyoku"=Sasori/Tobi, "Byaku"=Konan, "Genbu"=Zetsu & "Shu"=Itachi)

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

It was as if a series of thunderbolts exploded in their minds, especially for Akatsuki's group. Looking at the code name symbolizing their own names on it and the proclamation of death, they forgot to speak for a while.

All of them were powerful shinobis, long accustomed to combat and death.

But now, when they were still alive, they were already sentenced to death!

What a terrible thing this was, and what a terrible ability.

Orochimaru's vertical pupils had shrunk into a line as he read the analysis carefully several times.

Sure enough, he wasn't in it.

'Kū' was his code name in Akatsuki.

He couldn't figure out how such powerful Akatsuki members died. But it was still all of them at once!

.....

Shocked!

Shocked!

Shocked!

Looking at the analysis uploaded on the screen, everyone that was eagerly waiting for it was shocked.

'What great power was this?'

'Predicting the future, predicting death, and even reverting the future!'

No one believed that these Akatsuki people would make the same choices as they did in the past, knowing the outcome for themselves.

Besides, this was only the first question!

Everyone understood that the next four questions would reveal more information.

For a while, everyone was more excited about the questions that followed.

They were eager to know what would happen in the future!

Why did the shinobi world achieve peace after the Fourth Shinobi World War?

Also, what was the cause of the Fourth Shinobi World War?

Was it similar to Akatsuki, who wanted to maintain peace in the shinobi world?

Also, who was Akatsuki!?

Who was Kabuto?

How could the two of them hold off the entire Allied Shinobi Forces?

And what the heck was all this about?

Stunned by these questions, the crowd no longer had the energy to probe into the exact cause of death and internal deception of Akatsuki members.

They couldn't wait for the Akatsuki members on the screen to start the next question.

They were eager to know more information!

They wanted more clues!

They were going crazy!

...

"Suddenly, I'm looking forward to the reward or punishment for their exam!"

In Konohagakure,

Those words suddenly rang out from the crowd that had been stunned by the analysis.

It made everyone sober up a bit and curious at the same time.

Yes, if all this was true, what would be the reward mentioned by such a magical examination space?

S-rank jutsu?

The wealth that couldn't be spent even for a lifetime?

Or was it something else?

"Someone! Go get Danzō and the two advisors!"

In Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was covered with frost. The analysis brought too much information!

Big enough to overturn Konohagakure's status as the number one shinobi village.

There was an immensely powerful enemy in the future who compelled the shinobi world to unite.

Combined with the analysis of option D, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sure that this member, who deceived Akatsuki, had something to do with that enemy!

There must be a connection!

He also finally understood that Akatsuki wasn't an existence that he and Itachi could overthrow by working together.

Two people could hold back the entire Allied Shinobi Forces. He only had one Konohagakure; how could he compete?

'Kabuto...'

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. That name was the same as the name of a Genin from his own village, who had repeated several years.

Regrettably, how was it possible for a guy who could achieve that kind of success in the future to be a mere Genin now?

'Ah, how good it would be if such talent was really from our village!'

....

Seeing the analysis of option A, Danzō, who was sitting at Konohagakure's Root, finally remembered...

He finally remembered who this Akatsuki was.

He finally knew why the girl called Jiraiya sensei.

It turned out that these guys in black robes with red clouds were from the organization that he and Hanzō of the Salamander were jointly targeting.

'In other words, these guys are now in Amegakure, right?'

A flash of killing intent passed through Danzō's eyes.

He was the Root of Konohagakure, responsible for all the darkness in Konohagakure.

'Those restless guys...'

'If I can't use them, then they shouldn't continue living.'

...

"Exam space, is there a more detailed explanation?"

Hidan and Kakuzu spoke almost simultaneously. They both looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

In a sense, both of them were immortal. How could they die!?

Could it really be because they took off some clothing?

That was too ridiculous!

Forget it. Whether it's true or not, they should go back to the cave and get a few more clothes. At best, it would still be useful. If it was useless, then it was all nonsense.

Kakuzu had decided to put one on each of his four masks when he returned, just in case.

When Pain heard the words from the two of them, his mind moved, and he quickly opened his mouth, "Space, is it available?"

In the end, he added, "Only the last two options will do."

'What?'

'The last two options?'

Obito, Zetsu, and Itachi all physically shook slightly at the same time, not expecting Pain to still be thinking about the fourth option now.

'What for?'

'What for?'

'Everyone is going to die, and you are still thinking of who is lying?'

[Insufficient permissions to provide.]

[If you get full marks in the exam, you will be rewarded with watching videos related to the exam questions.]

'Related videos?'

The three who were just about to put their worries down raised them again.

The three narrowed their eyes and looked above, once again feeling the great power of the space.

Could it be that this space was capable of not only peering into the future but also forming videos of future events?

'Never let the space play the video!'

They had to prevent them from answering all the questions correctly.

Fortunately, it wasn't about getting the majority. Even if there were three left correct, they still had a wiggle room to mess up two.

Deep inside his mind, Uchiha Itachi thought that if it weren't for the inability to use jutsu here, he would have used the Illusion Technique on the whole crowd.

Not getting the answer he wanted, Pain's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Fortunately, there were surprises. As long as he answered all the questions correctly, he could see the related videos.

Then, he would know who was the traitor in Akatsuki!

With that in mind, Pain was already a little impatient.

"Exam space, continue with the questions."
