Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

[Question 2: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya made White Zetsu in large quantities for the following reason:]

[A. Resist foreign enemies.]

[B. Kill innocent people indiscriminately.]

[C. Nothing to do, just having some fun.]

[D. She doesn't like them.]

'Emmm...'

Looking at the second question that appeared, everyone in the shinobi world was stunned.

After what happened last time, they thought that the exam space was enough to take care of Uchiha Madara, but unexpectedly...

Compared to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Uchiha Madara had it easier.

There were two questions related to her. After all, Uchiha Madara also had this kind of treatment. But in this list of answers, half of the answers were clearly nonsense!

...

"Come on, come on, I'll give you an analysis."

In the familiar casino, a veteran confidently and slowly looked at the questions on the screen above his head.

Exam question interpreter-- was a new type of profession in the shinobi casino, used to entice some people to make wrong bets.

After all, this kind of gambling method couldn't be cheated on.

The only benefit was to collect fees from these guys, that was all.

Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits, the casino would send people to pretend to be guests that would participate and hinder the guests. There were also certain code words between the exam interpreter and some of his own people.

The best way was to choose multiple-choice questions.

If the interpreter of the first question intended to choose A, then he would bet A+1 = B.

In the second question, when the interpreter said D, he would bet D+2 = B.

And so on.

Because when the exam space appeared, most of everyone's attention was on the exam space, no one would pay attention to the casino's means, so for a while, the casino gained a lot.

This interpreter, originally just a wandering man, who was forced by life, jumped into this kind of job.

He gently coughed twice and cleared his throat.

"Hahaha, Mori is going to analyze again."

"Come on, come on, Mori, this question is impossible to predict. But, I still want to choose A."

A voice rang out, making some people in the casino look at the old veteran in the casino. Because in order to trap more people, he usually chose some correct answers.

Generally speaking, he had to be right at least three out of five times.

On these three occasions, the casino people wouldn't be involved. They would only be involved in a certain one.

Although it's only one shot, they would secure a lot of profit with minimum activity!

It was precisely because of that; these veterans were surrounded by a cluster of followers.

They all made small profits by following the veteran, so they praised the veteran.

"That's right, that's right. Thinking about it, you can choose A for this question."

"But if you choose A, wouldn't it mean that she's a good person? And the Sage of Six Paths becomes a bad person instead?"

"Haha, regardless if she's a good guy or bad guy, I'm not a shinobi. Anyone who doesn't affect my winnings is a good guy."

"Hahaha, yes, yes. The first question, Sage of Six Paths, was played by a toad. He has talent! Hahaha!"

"Ahem."

Mori lightly coughed, and for a moment, the noise in the casino died down.

"First of all, I would like to emphasize that this second question absolutely wouldn't be answered with D."

Emphasis on...

Second question ...

D!

'Yes!'

Casino personnel pretending to be customers in the crowd suddenly moved when they heard the familiar code words.

'That's right.'

The other party had given them instructions.

'This question should be answered with B!'

Looking up at the screen, they lifted the chips in their hands and prepared to place them on B.

The code word was sent out and understood.

Looking around the crowd, Mori saw some people in the crowd stirring, and the veteran gambler suddenly moved.

He had given out the correct answer. Now, he only needed to guide everyone to the wrong answer.

People certainly couldn't be fooled to choose C or D. It wasn't in line with the persona he created.

'Then it can only be an A!'

Mori's eyes gleamed with the color of wisdom as he slowly said, "We are all veterans. Look at this question; the latter two can be directly excluded."

"As for the first two ..."

His tone was slightly raised as he looked at the crowd with triumph.

"Hey, Mori, don't try to hype it up."

"Hey! Mori, stop trying to raise the price!"

Everyone understood Mori's meaning. They were used to it. He wouldn't speak again unless he was satisfied with the reward from them.

Instantly, a small number of chips was placed in front of Mori.

Mori glanced at the number of chips in front of him, estimated the value, and slowly said.

"In the exam space, the most difficult questions usually make the impossible possible..."

In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he even quoted the scriptures.

"As in the previous question, the most unlikely answer was Gamamaru, and as it turns out, it was correct!" Mori proudly stroked the goatee at his chin.

"So, I think we should choose A for this question."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. It doesn't matter. Winning or losing is your own; it has nothing to do with me."

Mori waved his hand, taking himself out of the equation first, then coming back in with a comment that could mislead the crowd into misidentifying his purpose.

"If any of you get it right, I'd still like a little reward money for information."

"Hahaha."

After he said that, he laughed to himself. He glanced around at the crowd that was in deep thought. Fearing that these guys would think of the right answer to bet on, he had to distract them.

"It's weird, too. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya killed innocent people indiscriminately, to defend against foreign enemies??"

"She is the progenitor of chakra in the shinobi world. I wonder what kind of enemy could make her so defensive."

As his words fell, everyone was instantly lost in thought because of him. They were subconsciously thinking along with him.

Time was up.

Mori vaguely gave a look to the person in charge of the bets, and the person in charge of the bets immediately instructed:

"Come on, place your bets! Place your bets!"

Hearing the sound, all the gamblers froze for a moment. They quickly thought about it and then went to choose A.

Only a few people chose B.

As for C and D, except for a very few small chips, no one chose those options at all.

'Okay!'

Seeing that the chips on option A were stacked into a small mountain, a glint of joy flashed in Mori's eyes.

Not only could he receive 'gratuities' from the guests, but he would also get a commission from the casino.

'This time, it's no less than 100,000 Ryo!'

Mori once again gave the owner of the casino a winning look. This time, he was sure he would profit!

Everyone chose A at his behest.

But as everyone knew, these people were only small-time gamblers, and he was already high in the clouds.

At the beginning of his analysis, he just used the 'the most unlikely solution is usually the correct one' to say A. But what no one could have imagined was that, according to the usual way people chose things, like 'the 50-50 theory' and 'follow your heart', option A was incorrect.

'I don't need to think about it. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself would choose A.'

'So, how could A be correct?'

He was too familiar with the exam space's routine!

'For this question, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya would choose A, and the correct answer would be B!'

His thoughts were surging. Then, he cast his eyes on the live broadcast screen.

Sure enough, on the screen, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was slowly speaking.

"For this question, I choose A."

'Right!'

'I'm truly right!'

When he heard Ōtsutsuki Kaguya acting just like Madara before, the corners of Mori's mouth slightly twitched.
