Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

"The Six Path Senjutsu should be the Sage of Six Paths' powers."

Listening to Senju Tsunade, Ōnoki hesitated for a moment, then said:

"If the Six Path Senjutsu represents the techniques used in the Sixth Path Mode, then we can exclude option A from this question."

Ōnoki lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being heard by Madara.

He was a good strategist and also had experienced answering questions from the exam space before. So he had become more and more comfortable with the examination.

He even figured out a way to answer multiple-choice questions. When the correct answer couldn't be selected in one go- one should try to eliminate the most unlikely answers!

In this way, even if the last answer relied on luck, the accuracy rate was much higher.

"I agree with the Tsuchikage, if the Rinnegan is upgraded to the Rinne Sharingan, then Uchiha Madara wouldn't be at the level of the Six Paths Sage, but at the level of the Progenitor of Chakra!"

The Fourth Raikage added, and beside him, Chiyo and Terumī Mei nodded approvingly.

"If you exclude the first option, I think the fourth option could also be excluded."

"Hmm?"

Ay looked at Terumī Mei suspiciously.

He was a bit puzzled, but just before he could say anything, Terumī Mei's voice had already sounded.

"Although Uchiha Madara is very strong, stronger than the five of us combined, he's certainly still a long way from the Sage of Six Paths."

Terumī Mei's voice was slightly louder, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Uchiha Madara, who was coldly looking at them.

"Everyone saw the last question, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is the progenitor of chakra, stronger than Sage of Six Paths!"

"And Uchiha Madara doesn't even have the Six Path Mode, so naturally, it's impossible for him to seize Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's powers."

Listening to Terumī Mei's explanation, Chiyo's aged eyes had narrowed to a slit. She thought that Terumī Mei's idea was a bit too simple.

"What if he has some kind of means to do so..."

"Uchiha Madara's methods can't be underestimated."

Chiyo's words made Ay and Ōnoki nod in approval.

For the Kages, when they were inside their villages, everything seemed optimistic, while outside their villages, everything seemed pessimistic.

After all, they couldn't just solve problems in an arena...

"Did you guys forget about Black Zetsu?"

Terumī Mei's rhetorical question startled the other three at the same time. 'What did this have to do with Black Zetsu?'

"Black Zetsu didn't only trick Uchiha Obito, but Madara too!"

"Otherwise, Madara wouldn't have chosen the wrong option for the first question. Moreover, didn't you notice Uchiha Madara's expression just now? He..."

"What are you trying to say?"

The Fourth Raikage directly interrupted Terumī Mei's words.

He couldn't stand such a nagging woman. 'Why can't she just get to the point?'

'Women... so long-winded!'

The interrupted Terumī Mei glanced at the Fourth Raikage and speechlessly rolled her eyes.

"What I wanted to say is, who do you think could trap Kaguya when Black Zetsu is beside her?"

"Uh ..."

The Fourth Raikage heard the annoyed tone in Terumī Mei's voice but didn't care at all.

What he cared about was what Terumī Mei had said.

'It really makes sense!'

The Black Zetsu who could trick Madara was a master of schemes.

If Black Zetsu was around, let alone Uchiha Madara, throughout the whole shinobi world, who could trap Kaguya?

[Please continue to answer the question.]

The prompt from the exam space caused the five people, who were discussing their answers, to slightly change their expressions. Then, they all looked at Tsunade.

Tsunade was the General Counsel of the Allied Shinobi Forces and had demonstrated her superb adaptability and command ability in the battle just now.

Therefore, they unanimously decided to let Senju Tsunade do it for the final choice of this question.

"Hokage, you choose one from the remaining two answers."

Ōnoki looked at Tsunade expectantly, although uncertain, there was a good chance that the correct answer was among the two remaining answers.

'Choose one from the two.'

He hoped that Tsunade would be lucky enough to pick the correct answer straight away.

"Me?"

Hearing Ōnoki's words, Senju Tsunade suddenly looked up in shock.

Meeting his eyes, seeing the expectation in his gaze, Tsunade's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

'Choose one from two. Isn't that a bet?'

She really wanted to ask these four people around her, 'Don't you guys know my title of Konoha's Legendary Sucker?'

'Don't you know that I have no skill but losing in gambling throughout my entire life?'

She really wanted to tell the few of them that she had just outed herself the other day.

Although no one knew it, now, when she saw Jiraiya, she really felt uncomfortable!

"Hokage, don't be nervous."

The Fourth Raikage saw that Tsunade was hesitant to make a choice and thought that Tsunade was afraid of the pressure.

"When this encounter with Uchiha Madara is played out, each of our villages will owe you a favor.

It's just a question. There's nothing to be nervous about."

"Indeed, Hokage, make your choice!"

Hearing the Raikage say so, the few others immediately expressed their positions.

"Don't worry, Hokage, since we asked you to choose, you won't be blamed if you get it wrong."

"When we get out of the exam space, we're still going to face a deadly battle. Maybe we might all leave together."

Ōnoki comforted her with a smile. He unexpectedly felt good at this moment, when the five Kages cooperated in answering the questions together.

"There are still advantages to living for too long. At least, I can see the five Kages working together, whether it's fighting or answering these questions. Hahaha."

Ōnoki laughed as he said so with an indescribable relief in his voice.

"Humph! Too depressing!"

The Fourth Raikage curled his lips and spoke with a bit of disdain in his voice:

"You're growing pretentious in old age. I didn't expect that the iron-blooded Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki of Both Scales, could still act all mushy."

The Fourth Raikage's voice continued, "Hokage, hurry up and make your choice. Don't dawdle!"

However, no matter how much the Fourth Raikage urged, Senju Tsunade didn't reply.

It's not that she ignored them, but Tsunade's attention wasn't on them at all.

At that moment, there was a fierce battle in her mind. She was caught in the conflict of choosing B or choosing C.

'B. Becoming the Jūbi's Jinchūriki...'

'C.. Eating the fruit of the Divine Tree.'
