'What?'
'Rasa is dead?'
Everyone in the exam space was surprised and looked at the yellow platform in horror. Looking around, they didn't see Rasa's figure.
"Wait, what about Konoha's Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen?"
The crowd soon found the Konoha party, with Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Uchiha Itachi standing in the forefront.
"Could it be ...."
Everyone was startled, then looked in Konoha's direction in shock.
...
"Maki, what's going on?"
Chiyo looked angry. This was the first time Maki saw Chiyo appear angry. Maki glanced at Sasori at the forefront. Her expression fluctuated a few times, not only saying nothing but even suppressing the impulse to look at Konoha.
But she already had the answer in her heart.
Without getting a reply, Chiyo had already received the desired information from Maki's actions.
She grunted coldly to express the anger in her heart.
"When it's Sunagakure's turn to answer this question, you answer it!"
"... yes!"
...
'He's dead?'
Sunagakure's three youngsters froze at the same time. In the next moment, inexplicable emotions appeared in their hearts.
Then, they found that there wasn't much sorrow in their hearts, just a little sadness, and an inexplicable emotion.
That was... surprise?
...
"That guy, Rasa ... is dead?"
The moment he heard the question, a brilliant light flashed in the Raikage's eyes.
At this juncture, when Akatsuki appeared, the other Kages went to the scene where Akatsuki was discovered. Only the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, didn't appear.
'Hmm...'
It seemed that the answer was obvious.
"Brother, the answer could only be Sarutobi Hiruzen or the Akatsuki duo!"
Ay nodded and affirmed Killer B's guess.
He knew that Killer B's IQ wasn't below him. He usually behaved brainless because he was so powerful that he didn't actually need to use his brain.
After all, if you could solve a problem with your fist, why use your head?
...
"It's Sarutobi Hiruzen!"
Almost instantly, Ōnoki made up his mind about everything.
Sarutobi Hiruzen used a clever plan to bind all the Kages against Akatsuki, while he took the opportunity to attack another Kage.
'hmm...'
Ōnoki hesitated for a moment. His conjecture was somewhat unreasonable.
Unlike that guy Rasa, Sarutobi Hiruzen had always been a qualified Kage in Ōnoki 's mind.
And indeed, that was exactly what happened, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a qualified protector, even though he wasn't a qualified pioneer.
Konoha, in his hands, had lost its sharpness but hadn't declined.
At the thought of this, Ōnoki felt it was more and more unreasonable.
If Sarutobi Hiruzen was really ambitious to set them up with a scheme within a scheme, there was a prerequisite.
That was, Konoha should have the ability to defeat or resist Akatsuki.
Ōnoki looked at the red ocean of people in Konoha and fell into contemplation.
Sannin, Uchiha, Akimichi, Hyūga...
Was it really as he thought?
Suddenly, his eyes fell on Deidara beside him.
"Deidara, what do you think the answer to this question is?"
"Oh, don't ask me, I don't know!"
Deidara brushed it off disdainfully. Not to mention not knowing, even if he did know, he wouldn't tell these people.
Besides...
He was thinking about how he was going to get everyone from Iwagakure into trouble later on.
...
"Time to answer the question. Purple team, tell us your answer!"
Nagato looked at the countdown that was about to hit zero and directly urged.
If the purple team failed to answer the question before the countdown was cleared, the right to answer the question would be transferred to the white team on their right.
"Akatsuki!"
The eyes of the Fourth Raikage flashed with wise light as he answered the question.
Actually, he preferred the answer 'Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen', but Sarutobi Hiruzen was one person, and 'Akatsuki' was a dozen people.
Wasn't it obvious which answer had a higher success rate?
Nagato above was about to judge that he was correct when a big red X appeared on the card, accompanied by a small red sentence.
[The answer range is too broad.]
Nagato paused, he thought the Raikage was right, but the result was ...
Glancing at the smug Fourth Raikage, Nagato's icy words rose:
"Why don't you just answer 'a shinobi'?"
"Wrong answer."
"Answering privileges are forwarded to the white team."
Swish!
In the space, the purple light dimmed, and a milky white light was turned on.
Terumī Mei's plump figure quietly squeezed forward, passing through the gap between Hoshigaki Kisame and Momochi Zabuza.
She gracefully turned around, smiling at the two renegade shinobi from Kirigakure.
"Gentlemen, my answer is the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Do you have any insight?"
"....."
"... No..."
"Okay." Terumī Mei's eyes were full of appreciation as she nodded with a smile.
She liked this kind of subordinates who were good at execution and felt no need to direct others.
Especially now when Kirigakure was struggling. The two former S-ranked renegade shinobis could directly improve the village's strength if they returned to the village at this time.
Furthermore, these two people could be used as the core of the new Seven Swords of the Bloody Mist and even teach the new generation in Kirigakure.
The more she thought about it, the better she felt, but Terumi Mei still suppressed the invitation.
She couldn't be too straightforward right now.
Moreover, this was still being broadcasted live throughout the shinobi world.
But! But! But!
These two men!
She'll take them!
"Our answer is Konoha's Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen."
As if fearing that her answer would also be judged as too broad, Terumī Mei also confidently explained:
"Your chosen candidate for the make-up exam was the entire Konohagakure. And now that neither Rasa nor Sarutobi Hiruzen had shown up. They both may have died together, right? "
After Terumī Mei explained, she looked back with confidence and gave the other members of the white team a confident smile, which was very contagious.
"Oh, oh, Mizukage-sama is so beautiful!"
"Mizukage-sama is right. We will always support you!"
"Mizukage-sama is awesome!"
...
"Is this the exam space?"
In the red team, Uzumaki Naruto was still looking at the surrounding environment. He had woken up and looked around at the exam space curiously.
After all, the exam space this time was different from the last live broadcast.
But he also entered the exam space! This made him extremely excited.
'I'm in the exam space. Could the whole shinobi world see me?'
'As long as I behave well ...'
'Wouldn't it mean...'
'The whole shinobi world would recognize me?'
The more Naruto thought so, the more he thought it was possible.
As he was immersed in joy, he suddenly heard someone speak ill of the Third Hokage.
The more he listened to the person, the angrier he was. 'The Third Ojīsan is so good! How could he die!'
He couldn't help it and directly stood up. Rushing to the front of the red team, he reached out and pointed at the white team's crowd, his face full of anger.
"You're lying! Third Ojīsan would never do such a thing!"
In Naruto's mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very kind to him and the only person he had contact with since childhood. He brought him fresh instant noodles and milk each time so that he had food to survive in the pitifully dark room.
Therefore!
He absolutely wouldn't allow others to slander Third Ojīsan!
Never!
