Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

Chapter 64 - 64. Question 5: Who Is Uzumaki Naruto's Father?

"The answer is ... correct!"

Hearing Uzumaki Nagato's somewhat shaky pronouncement, everyone froze!

The residents of Konohagakure were almost shocked to death by the truth from Uzumaki Nagato.

They didn't know who Yahiko was or what their relationship was, but they weren't idiots. If the space asked such a question, he must have been the closest person to Uzumaki Nagato.

If they hadn't witnessed the many wonders of the exam space and had thoroughly believed in it, they would have felt as if the exam space was messing with them.

For the peace of the shinobi world…

Wanting to reduce Konohagakure into a flat piece of land for the sake of peace in the shinobi world?

This was the guy who shouted over Konoha: 'At this moment, let the world feel the pain.' Was he still a good person?

They were confused ...

They were completely dumbfounded!

Not to mention them, Jiraiya's heart was now beating so fiercely that it seemed to be popping out of his chest.

For so many years, this was the first time.

His heart had never beaten so fast, even when he confessed his love to Tsunade.

He had now begun to question his initial thoughts.

'Was Naruto the child of fate, or was Nagato the child of fate?'

How come the deeper he understood it, the more he thought it was Nagato?

'This tolerance, this measure, this means, this strength ...'

'Yes, and those eyes ...'

Was Nagato really the fated child that the Great Toad Sage said would bring true peace to the shinobi world?

'But wouldn't Nagato die?'

But if the Fourth Hokage could be resurrected, Nagato could also be resurrected in the future. There didn't seem to be a problem.

For a while, Jiraiya's heart was in turmoil.

On the other side, Konan heard Kakuzu's answer. A burst of light erupted in her eyes.

'No wonder Nagato hasn't resurrected Yahiko.'

'No wonder...'

Konan had the same feelings for both Nagato and Yahiko, and that was friendship without any other feelings mixed in.

She respected Nagato's decision, so when she knew the reason, her heart calmed down.

'It's just...'

Konan's beautiful eyes watched Kakuzu. She didn't expect that there were people in Akatsuki who knew Nagato better than she did.

'Could it be...'

What was the relationship between them?

Suddenly, Konan's eyes brightened even more, as if there was some kind of flame burning.

...

Uzumaki Nagato looked at Kakuzu appreciatively. He didn't expect that Kakuzu would be able to guess the answer to this question.

He thought it would be an unsolvable question.

Although Nagato was very curious, it was obviously not a good time to ask Kakuzu.

After a deep look at Kakuzu, for the first time, Pain felt that this man wasn't simple, and he was ready to find time to get to know Kakuzu well.

'This man has a lot of stories!'

Nagato heard him say more than once that he had done something great 800 miles away!

"Congratulations to the black group for answering correctly. Please continue to answer the fifth question: Who is Uzumaki Naruto's father?"

...

"Eh? My father?"

In the red group, Uzumaki Naruto snapped, momentarily overjoyed, then frustrated, and finally, a trace of deep anger remained on his face.

If he had known his name, he would have grabbed him by the collar and viciously asked him why in the world he hadn't come looking for him for so many years.

Why did he have him and not take care of him?

Was he even worthy of being a father?

...

"Is the question difficult?"

Jiraiya looked sideways at Tsunade and also noticed the confusion in his teammate's eyes. 'Isn't this a household name?'

The son of a hero, Uzumaki Naruto, whose father was the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato. Who else could it be?

'Isn't that blonde hair that overpowered the Uzumaki bloodline the best evidence?'

"This question, it should be a giveaway question. It seems that we got lucky this time."

Senju Tsunade thought for a moment and nodded with a dignified expression. She also felt that Uzumaki Naruto could grow up to be like that in the future; it must be because Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered the strength of the whole Konohagakure to bring him up.

Especially at the end of the last broadcast, Naruto was the hope of nearly the whole village. How could no one know his father?

"We and all of Konoha know, but the Land of Iron and other groups shouldn't know."

"This question, it seems like it belongs to Konoha. We can answer correctly."

...

"Shit!"

In the red group, the two Konoha advisors looked at each other. Their faces changed at the same time. Then they quietly pushed open the crowded Root members and leaned toward Danzō in the center.

They were able to become advisors, so naturally, they weren't stupid. They could guess what was going to happen when it was revealed.

Besides, there were so many shinobi in Konoha and those high-level families ... who didn't know the answer to this question?

.....

"Father, do you know who Naruto-kun's father is?"

Hinata tilted her face, her white eyes were wide open, and she looked very naive and cute.

Hinata recently discovered that her father was easy to get along with and always took the initiative to ask her to invite Naruto to be a guest at home, even asking Naruto to take home some cakes made by her mother every time.

This made Hinata very happy, and her relationship with him was much closer. However, in the same way, her father trained her even more severely.

Hyūga Hiashi's expression turned complicated when he heard Hinata's inquiry.

He originally wanted to wait for Naruto and Hinata to know each other well before casually revealing this matter.

After all, Naruto was too young to accept it now and would likely think badly of Konoha or even their Hyūga clan.

This didn't bode well for Hinata...

But who would have thought that today, the exam space would actually ask this matter outright?

Glancing at the tens of thousands of Konoha people around him, he shook his head.

"I was going to tell you later. Uzumaki Naruto's father... It is none other than the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato."

"The Fourth Hokage-sama?!"

Hinata suddenly exclaimed aloud. In the next moment, she reacted and covered her mouth in panic.

At this moment, her little head was full of shock.

'Naruto's father was a Hokage!'

'He comes from a Hokage family!'

'Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage!'

'That's great!'

'Wasn't this in line with what my father used to say about the right family?'

Hinata's face turned red.

Fortunately, after these days of constant contact with Naruto, she had learned to control herself from fainting.

Hyūga Hinata shook her little head and tried to empty it. Her pair of pure white eyes looked at Naruto.

.....

"The Hokage?"

Hinata's surprised voice wasn't small. Although she covered it in hindsight, she was heard by several other groups.

Now, everyone knew the correct answer except the black group who was answering the question and the unconscious Uchiha Sasuke.

A burst of shrieks rang out. Everyone looked in horror at the dazed Uzumaki Naruto. They didn't expect that Uzumaki Naruto had such a noble origin!

Son of Hokage, this was a proper noble Konoha clan!

With such excellent genes and resources, it was no wonder that he could grow to that height.

"Uzumaki Naruto, is Namikaze Minato's child?"

On the right side of the red group, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, was shocked. He didn't expect that Namikaze Minato would even have a child.

The sudden death of the Fourth Hokage caused a great stir in the shinobi world. The four shinobi villages would almost celebrate with bonfires and drums if it weren't for the impact!

'It's a pity, such a pity.'

Ay shook his head regretfully. Now, he had overheard the answer, but Konoha was right in front of him.

While Ay was shaking his head in the black group, Hidan's impatient voice suddenly sounded.

"Leader, I know, the answer to this question is you Leader: Uzumaki Nagato."
