"Privately teaching Ninja Art to Ninja from other villages is an act of treason!"
Shimura Danzo, leaning on his cane, was furious.
But a glimpse of the tall figure in the sky in the video made a strong sense of fear almost make him whimper.
He immediately fell silent, no longer making any moves.
He recalled that after discovering Akatsuki, he was wary of their expanding influence, especially their ideology which ran counter to his own, and after they moved close to the Land of Fire, he made a move to destroy them.
He hadn't expected the Red Hair brat to possess the Rinnegan.
The legendary Sage's eye.
Damn it, if Jiraiya hadn't taught him Ninja Art, he could have easily obtained the Rinnegan, and then embedded it in his chest... Sasuke Uchiha would have been killed with just a flick of his wrist.
How could subsequent events have led to him losing both Wood Release and Sharingan?
"It's all you, Jiraiya!"
Shimura Danzo's face was expressionless, but his teeth ground audibly, clear even to Root behind him.
He looked at Jiraiya with venomous eyes, temporarily suppressing his hatred.
The video ended.
The screen froze on four frog signs.
"When our dream comes true, even if we are far apart, we must return here, and the three of us will offer our blessings together."
"Be sure to invite Jiraiya Sensei then."
"Of course!"
It was a very heartwarming scene; everyone was surprised that Jiraiya, one of the Wood Leaf Village's Sannin, had taken ordinary people from the Rain Country as his disciples.
Just as everyone waited for the question, the video lit up again.
[Second video begins playback]
The second video was related to Sarutobi Hiruzen; it was about his childhood time nurturing the Sannin.
[Third video begins playback]
Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, likewise, spent time with his disciples.
[Fourth video playback]
Finally, the video shifted to Iwagakure, showing Ōnoki teaching Deidara and Kurotsuchi the Will of Stone. Although there was some squabbling, it still conveyed a sense of master-disciple affection.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the question appeared.
[Question: Up until Kaguya Otsutsuki's appearance, whose disciple attacked Wood Leaf Village?]
a. Jiraiya's disciple
b. Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple
c. Minato Namikaze's disciple
d. Lord Ohnoki Two Scales's disciple
After this question appeared, the atmosphere in the Kages' stands suddenly became tense.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the short old man with an unpleasant expression and asked, "Tsuchikage, your disciple would actually attack Wood Leaf Village? I need an explanation."
At the same time, he felt somewhat fortunate about Naruto's luck, being able to trigger a golden critical hit.
This allowed him to know in advance about Iwagakure attacking Wood Leaf Village.
He just didn't know the exact time.
It was clear to any discerning person that the answer to this question was the last option, requiring no further explanation.
Although there was some concern about Jiraiya's foreign disciples, seeing the blond brat's sunny and cheerful remarks, and the Red Hair brat's absolute adoration for the blond brat, they certainly wouldn't go against Jiraiya's wishes to attack Wood Leaf Village.
His own disciple... Orochimaru was a possibility, but with his strength, without the village's defense map, he wouldn't be able to single-handedly break through Wood Leaf Village's layered defenses. Excluded.
Minato Namikaze's disciples, Rin and Obito, had already sacrificed themselves for Wood Leaf Village. The remaining Kakashi would never betray Wood Leaf Village.
Therefore, after eliminating all incorrect options, there was only one answer.
"Jiraiya, is it the perverted old man?"
Naruto pouted, mimicking Shikaku's thoughtful expression, and said, "The perverted old man is a Konoha Ninja; he wouldn't attack Wood Leaf Village. Third Hokage is the Hokage, so his disciple couldn't attack Wood Leaf Village. Minato Namikaze is the Fourth Hokage, so he also couldn't attack the village. I choose the last one."
The logic was simple and crude.
But the players didn't mock him, because they thought the same way.
This question didn't require any thought; it was practically a free revive coin.
The word 'envy' was already overused.
[Incorrect answer]
"Wrong, it's not Iwagakure attacking Wood Leaf Village?"
"That brat Deidara already defected from Iwagakure and has no ties to our village. Anyone who dares to slander Iwagakure again, I wonder if you can withstand my Dust Release."
Ōnoki said righteously.
It's really not Iwagakure?
Everyone's expressions became strange.
Which means it was a Konoha Ninja who attacked, which was indeed very unexpected.
But it was still understandable; after all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was incompetent in teaching, and with the appearance of an S-rank rogue Ninja like Orochimaru, the village being attacked could only be said to be reaping what he sowed.
"I choose Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, Orochimaru."
A player immediately blurted out the answer.
Everyone cursed them for being cunning, turning to look at the Grass Hidden Village Ninja who had answered first.
[Incorrect answer]
Hiss...
Everyone was somewhat surprised; it wasn't the rogue Ninja Orochimaru after all.
After two consecutive waves of monster attacks, only a few hundred players remained in the Ninja God Scramble. Among them, Kankuro was the fastest to act.
He stated confidently, "I choose Jiraiya's disciple. Although their master-disciple bond seems deep, they are outsiders after all, and it's highly possible they would attack Wood Leaf Village for the Rain Country."
Everyone nodded repeatedly, finding his analysis very reasonable.
[Incorrect answer]
Hiss...
All the Wood Leaf Village Ninja in the arena involuntarily turned their heads to look at the innocent-faced Kakashi.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a look of deep sorrow.
"Kakashi, I didn't expect it to be you!"
Might Guy shrieked, tears flowing sorrowfully.
He had considered him his lifelong rival, constantly trying to surpass him, even researching techniques like Night Guy to leave for him. Was it time to use it now?
"I... It's not me..."
Kakashi visibly panicked, waving his hands repeatedly.
Although his father's death had left him very confused for a period, and he had many thoughts, he had long since let go of them.
His best friend Obito died for Wood Leaf Village, entrusting him with the Sharingan and asking him to protect Rin, which he also failed to do. Now, only the memorial stone carved with their names remains.
He had no intention of attacking Wood Leaf Village at all.
"If not you, then is it the deceased Rin, or Obito?"
Shimura Danzo angrily slammed his cane, wishing he could escape from the prison now and dig out Kakashi's Sharingan.
"I choose Kakashi."
Looking at the players eager to try after eliminating all incorrect answers,
Fang Yi felt a bit of a loss; it should have been set up as an auction, where whoever offered the most reward points would be allowed to answer.
[Incorrect answer]
Chojuro was dumbfounded.
He had clearly smelled the intoxicating scent of a revive coin, yet there was still a twist.
All four answers were incorrect?
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I told you it definitely wasn't me, Guy, don't mess around."
Shikaku frowned and analyzed, "Is it possible that this is a multiple-choice question?"
At these words,
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed astonishment, followed by a bitter smile. So many rogues coveted Wood Leaf Village.
"I choose Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple Orochimaru, and Lord Ohnoki Two Scales's disciple Deidara!"
Temari gave her answer.
[Incorrect answer]
If it was a multiple-choice question, there were many possible combinations, but the ones with the highest accuracy were only a few.
And the ones with the lowest accuracy would definitely be a, b, and c.
How could it be that Iwagakure didn't attack Wood Leaf Village, but instead, their own people riddled it with holes?
"I choose Jiraiya's disciple, and the disciples of the Third and Fourth Hokage, to have attacked Wood Leaf Village."
Gaara, with deep dark circles under his eyes, answered the question.
Kankuro and Temari exchanged helpless glances.
They knew this was a way for Gaara to vent; his father's treatment of Jinchuriki was indeed too twisted.
It was only two hundred reward points, so they would consider it as soothing Gaara's mood.
Anyway, it couldn't be correct...
[Correct answer]
What!?
Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face immediately turned crimson, liver-colored, with a sense of dreamlike bewilderment.
He sat up straight, looking straight ahead.
Facing countless mocking gazes, he quickly returned to normal; such was the composure of a veteran Hokage.
Ōnoki couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his eye, stifling a laugh as he said, "Hokage, as you said, Wood Leaf Village loves peace and never easily attacks other countries."
Only attacking their own people.
If it weren't for the need to maintain the Tsuchikage's serious image, he would have truly burst into laughter; years of pent-up frustration finally cleared.
Back then, Minato Namikaze, then an elite Jonin, single-handedly overturned the entire Iwagakure and Wood Leaf Village battlefield, killing countless Iwagakure Ninja and destroying Kannabi Bridge, causing Iwagakure to lose its best chance for expansion.
Raikage Ei couldn't help but laugh aloud, saying, "Is this a Wood Leaf Village old tradition?"
Mei Terumi maintained her ladylike composure, refraining from mocking remarks.
She felt a slight sense of comfort in her heart.
Although Kirigakure had many rogue Ninja, no one had managed to attack Kirigakure itself, unlike Wood Leaf Village, where the attackers were all elites capable of assaulting Ninja villages.
[Reward disbursed]
A shiny coin landed in Gaara's palm.
He wasn't a player, so he didn't have an inventory.
"I'm willing to pay 20,000 reward points, how about selling it to me?"
The speaker was a participating player, but he looked more like a shrewd Merchant, and his attire was completely different from traditional Ninja.
This Chunin Exams seemed to involve not only Ninja but also Merchants.
"Maki, is your village willing to part with this revive coin and sell it to Wood Leaf Village?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's breathing became slightly heavy, and he inwardly exclaimed with regret.
An item capable of resurrecting the deceased.
Wood Leaf Village needed it the most; once the First Hokage could be resurrected, all problems would be solved easily.
Moreover,
The First Hokage's kind nature meant there was no need to worry about disrupting Wood Leaf Village's political structure and causing chaos; he would definitely be the strongest shield to protect the village.
"Lord Hokage, I'm truly sorry, but our Sunagakure also desperately needs revive coins."
Maki cursed inwardly.
The revive skills sold in the Game Store were either prohibitively expensive, requiring the sacrifice of Kage-level experts, or had complex exchange conditions. The prerequisite for the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu was to purchase the Rinnegan.
The prerequisite for purchasing the Rinnegan was to purchase the power of All Creation...
To achieve true resurrection without side effects, the difficulty was extremely stringent.
Therefore,
The revive coin in Gaara's hand could easily fetch an exorbitant price. How could the venerable Third Hokage offer only 20,000 reward points?
Sarutobi Hiruzen said disappointedly, "Then I won't force it."
In the lower stands of the arena,
Might Guy's face was filled with disappointment, tears mixed with snot flowing out, as he sighed, "Kakashi, I can't believe you actually betrayed Wood Leaf Village."
"It's not me, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense..."
Even Kakashi himself began to doubt, could he really betray the village?
Shimura Danzo in his prison was furious, gnashing his teeth, "Cowardly Hiruzen, quickly kill Kakashi!"
[Do you want to view the analysis video? (10,000 reward points per video)]
"Yes."
The other Ninja villages gloated. Although curious about the cause and effect, they certainly weren't willing to pay.
But Wood Leaf Village had to pay for these reward points.
Regarding videos of Wood Leaf Village being attacked, if the cause couldn't be understood, it would be like a malevolent venomous snake lurking in the shadows, capable of causing casualties to Wood Leaf Village at any time.
Sarutobi Hiruzen regretted it deeply.
Back when they were auctioning, he should have listened to Asuma and been more assertive, pooling funds from the Ninja Clans to buy resource maps.
Now,
Players' strength was growing rapidly, with increasing levels, improved skills, and life skills...
All items related to the Reincarnation Game were inseparable from reward points, but relying solely on a single Medium Ghost Iron Mine was a state of operating at a complete loss.
Asuma, was I really wrong?
Recalling the resolute look in his younger son's eyes when he left, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt very tired.
[Answer analysis playing]
There were two segments.
Shimura Danzo disguised himself as an Iwagakure Ninja, framed Akatsuki, and incited Hanzo, the leader of the Land of Rain, to kill the hopeful blond brat who came for an alliance, causing the Red Hair brat to go berserk and unleash the terrifying power of the Rinnegan.
The entire arena fell silent.
"The Rinnegan, it actually exists?"
"Idiot, can't the Game Merchant exchange for the Rinnegan?"
"I mean, the Ninja World originally had the Rinnegan, and Wood Leaf Village almost got their hands on it."
The atmosphere became strange once again.
Ōnoki frowned deeply and reprimanded, "Hokage, your Fire Shadow Consultant actually disguised himself as an Iwagakure Ninja to frame others. I need an explanation."
Why another explanation?
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt an incessant headache. How many things had Shimura Danzo done behind his back? He said, "Shimura Danzo has already been stripped of his Fire Shadow Consultant status and imprisoned. That should be an explanation for Iwagakure, right?"
So that's how it was. Then it wasn't hard to understand why Jiraiya's disciple, who loved peace, would attack Wood Leaf Village.
If he were to search his own heart, he probably wouldn't let it go either if he were in their shoes.
His hand gripped the armrest of his seat tightly.
They could have approached Akatsuki with gentle methods, with Jiraiya as a link, and even had hope of bringing the talented orphans from the Land of Rain into Wood Leaf Village.
Rinnegan!
Sarutobi Hiruzen regretted it deeply. It seemed he should thoroughly reorganize Root.
The most crucial thing was that once you made a move, you had to eradicate the Root of the problem. Leaving behind a hidden danger led to the subsequent attack on Wood Leaf Village. Shimura Danzo was truly too foolish.
The second segment,
Yahiko, who had already died, appeared in Wood Leaf Village, slowly ascending into the sky, spreading his arms at the very center.
"Let the world know pain."
Ears instantly went deaf.
A tsunami-like force pushed away all buildings, and the entire Wood Leaf Village was utterly destroyed by a single Ninja Art, leaving only shattered ruins and a deep crater.
Shocking!
Is this the power of the Rinnegan?
Raikage Ei's eyes widened, and he whispered, "The materials produced by the Ghost Rock Mine and Ghost Sand River, after being sold, a portion of the reward points will be used as reserve funds for purchasing the Rinnegan."
Although they were tricked by Sunagakure and didn't win the family token in the auction, they also gained five resource maps as a blessing in disguise. After deducting rental and mining fees, they could earn 150,000 reward points monthly.
They were considered wealthy.
"Yes!"
The guard knelt on one knee and quickly left the arena stands.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was dazed, followed by fury. The armrest was crushed into powder, and he gnashed his teeth, "How dare they..."
"Shikaku, after the Chunin Exams, you must gather intelligence on Akatsuki. Absolutely do not let them do anything that could harm the village!"
No matter what, if they dared to harm the village, they would absolutely not be forgiven.
Next was the second segment,
Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple attacked Wood Leaf Village.
Watching Orochimaru appear in the video, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed no surprise, sighing, "Indeed, is it Orochimaru?"
His once most valued disciple actually wielded a butcher's knife against him.
A strange sadness.
It was all his negligence; he failed to properly guide Orochimaru. Wait...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly widened.
In the video,
The scroll Orochimaru held flashed by. Most people didn't pay attention, but he saw it clearly.
It was a Wood Leaf Village defense map, marked with Root's insignia!
Shimura Danzo, you dared to collude with a rogue Ninja!
"Evil Shimura Danzo, this old man can no longer tolerate..."
