Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

"I have a hunch that this one-eyed guy isn't Uchiha Madara."

"Certainly not! Look at his cowardice! With Madara's temperament, if people were suspicious, he would have long asked these people if they wanted to dance. Why is he still talking nonsense?"​​

"In other words, if this person is that whatever Uchiha Obito, isn't he also considered a survivor of the Uchiha clan?"

"Bullshit, didn't you hear? He destroyed the Uchiha clan, together with Uchiha Itachi."

"The Uchiha clan is so ruthless. They're all just ungrateful bastards."

"Then that orphan in our village wouldn't ..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Since he was left alive, and the meaning from the higher-ups... just don't mention it. Don't talk about it.

In fact, to put it another way, the Uchiha family aren't pitiful people. It's just that their feelings were too narrow."

This group of people gathered at the entrance of Konohagakure didn't realize that on the wall, not far behind them, a guy dressed in black and wearing a white cat mask was faintly staring at them.

He quietly looked at the screen above the crowd without moving, as if he was made of stone.

...

"Whether you're Uchiha Madara or not, Uchiha Obito is the spy for Konohagakure!"

Hoshigaki Kisame grunted coldly, not wanting to continue to watch them go it back and forth.

All his life, he hated spies the most. But he won't ask others to do anything. He would only ask himself not to cross the bottom line.

That was his bottom line and his Shinobi way.

In his mind, a shinobi should be pure. If he was captured to keep the information a secret, he was willing to die.

So, at this moment, he was the angriest in the crowd!

His eyes shifted from Konan, whose face was as cold as ice, to Pain, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Leader, this traitor, are you taking action, or should I?"

As if feeling the anger from its master, the Samehada behind Hoshigaki Kisame untied its bandages, jumped from his back, and opened his mouth towards Konan. Killing intent condensed in the space.

...

Above the space, Ryuji excitedly looked at the farce below. He knew that replacing Orochimaru with Konan, the correct answer was more distressing to Pain.

'Sorry ...'

Ryuji ruthlessly looked at the deadpan Pain below. He didn't think Pain could choose the right answer.

This question was just an ordinary one for others. Straightforward thinking would peg Pain as the correct answer.

But for Pain, this was torture.

Believe in yourself, reality, or friends?

People are selfish!

Especially now, when Pain was bent on taking revenge on Konohagakure.

Looking down at the Samehada that bared its teeth at Konan, Ryuji made a motion of smacking it aside.

'Bastard!'

'Whom are you yelling at?'

In the exam space, Samehada that had its teeth out had an indescribable sense of crisis enveloped it.

Its front end touched the ground and gently sniffed a few times as if it smelled danger.

A loop of bandages quickly wrapped around it as it rolled and ducked back behind the shark-man.

Kisame saw that something was odd with Samehada, but before figuring out what's going on, a thick fog-like palm came down from the above space.

Boom!

The huge palm that was formed from the thick fog was very fast. It directly fell on the shivering Samehada. Samehada couldn't resist it and was instantly shattered.

The powerful force came down, Kisame's body shook, and a mouthful of blood gushed out. Before he could react, his flesh shattered with a bang.

A trail of blood splashed in all directions in the shape of a sharp sword, landing on the others and making the red clouds on the black robe even redder.

...

Kakuzu, who was closest to Kisame, suddenly felt a burst of warmth, followed by a flash of red in front of him.

He reached forward, and a bluish scrap of face skin appeared in his hand, carrying a large amount of shredded flesh.

"Kisame!"

Kakuzu shuddered. The Earth Grudge in his body suddenly contracted, and the four hearts trembled at the same time.

He didn't expect Kisame to die like this!

'That was Hoshigaki Kisame!'

'Known as the Tailless Tailed Beast!'

He wasn't even sure if he could do it himself, but now ...

'Dead!'

Other Akatsuki members were also horrified. At the moment, there was some minced meat and blood on them, but they couldn't think of wiping it off yet. Or rather, they didn't even dare to move.

Pain, in particular, had the most genuine and strongest feelings.

One second, Kisame was still shouting at him, and the next, he was turned into mincemeat!

He didn't even see how the space had struck, and the guy was already gone!

'This ...'

'If this thing was aiming at me, could I dodge it?'

'No!'

He simply couldn't!

Pain wasn't the only one who thought so. The other Akatsuki members had the same question flashing in their minds.

Uchiha Obito, in particular, was really afraid. He almost made a move just now!

Lucky. Very lucky! He remained reasonable.

It was a good thing that he chose a heated debate instead of persuasion by force!

Obito's heart was full of gratitude, and he told himself over and over again.

'Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely!'

'Never start a fight in this space!'

...

"Fuck! Too much power?!"

Above, Ryuji slapped his own forehead. He didn't expect that the punishment force of his own exam space was that powerful.

He took advantage of the exam space's power to casually strike and blow Hoshigaki Kisame to bits!

If only he had the same amount of strength!

Ryuji knew that he used too much force because it was his first strike.

After all, these guys below were shinobis, not pirates.

Each one was a veteran and sly. Since entering the space, each one looked more obedient than the other.

There was no chance for Ryuji to show his strength.

Finally, a dog jumped out to cause trouble, offering himself up for sacrifice.

Ryuji just wanted to establish authority and didn't really want Kisame to die. After all, right now, Kisame was one of Amegakure's powerhouses.

[Hoshigaki Kisame interfered with the discipline of the examination room for the first time and warned once.]

...

"Shit! Shit! Shit! Someone died, and it's still saying it's a warning?!"

In Kirigakure.

A tall, thin figure looking at the screen suddenly cursed. He wasn't cursing the space because it killed Hoshigaki Kisame. That guy would die by his hands, sooner or later.

'If you kill him, you kill him. What did Samehada do wrong?'

'It was just a shinobi sword!'

'What bad intentions could a shinobi sword have?'

"Mizukage-sama!"

Ao at Terumī Mei's side made a terrifying noise. He was so shocked that his transplanted Byakugan automatically opened. Blue veins stood out at the corner of his eye, looking dreadful.

"Let's cancel the plan."

Terumī Mei waved wearily. Kisame, this short-lived guy. She was discussing a plan to welcome him back with Ao, but they didn't expect him to die so soon!

Kisame defected because of a failed attack on the previous Mizukage. He had no conflict with her, and there was no harm to the village.

'He was a good shinobi!'

In fact, since she took office, Terumī Mei had been looking for traces of him, but they couldn't find him.

When they finally had information, and before Terumī Mei was able to contact him ...

He died!

'Is it impossible to restore the glory of the past to our village?'

Terumi Mei rubbed her forehead, suddenly felt tired, and even the voice was full of fatigue.

"From this point on, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are no more."
