Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, in Konohagakure's Hokage's office, was in a state of confusion.

The words 'Attack Konoha' filled his mind. ​​

He didn't expect Pain would really attack Konoha!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was feeling a bit confused.

If the strong people like the other party sneaked in silently, it would cause great disaster and loss to Konohagakure.

Unless, of course, he tried to storm in and allowed himself to discover him in the first place.

'Just, how was that possible?'

How could an organization at the pinnacle of strength have a stupid leader that would attack Konoha head-on?

Now, he could only hope that the sensory jutsu above Konoha would first detect the opponent's presence when they intruded.

With this in mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze swept toward the answers below.

The first answer was himself. In the face of Akatsuki's invasion, he should take the lead, but he also knew that he was old and wouldn't be able to stop the other party.

Hatake Kakashi, because Sharingan consumed his chakra constantly, he had very little chakra.

He could stall the enemy with his strength, but it was difficult for him to defeat them.

Might Guy, Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally very familiar with this usually unremarkable taijutsu Jōnin.

He knew that Might Guy practiced forbidden taijutsu and had great strength.

His Genin father, by virtue of this taijutsu, had fended off the entire Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

They were all at the level of Special Jōnin. Against seven people with special sword abilities that were close to the Kage level, even if he encountered them himself, he would still struggle.

But these seven people were beaten by Might Guy's father. A few were even scared out of their wits and didn't even want to be a shinobi anymore.

This showed the power of his forbidden technique.

This was why Might Guy was a Jōnin, even though he didn't meet the requirements to be promoted to Jōnin.

But the Kiri shinobi were only close to the Kage-level. Pain, the owner of these seven pairs of Rinnegan, was a real Kage-level powerhouse.

This was evident from the ability to put Deidara under pressure with just one look.

'Hmm, could he be the answer to this question?'

'It seems that the greatest possibility would be the resurrected Fourth. ' Sarutobi Hiruzen thought so.

As for Uzumaki Naruto, he directly skipped him for the same reason he excluded Kabuto.

'How could Uzumaki Naruto block the invasion from a Kage-level powerhouse? That kid can't even use the three basic techniques well!'

'Had he not been a Jinchūriki, had he not been the child of those two.'

'With qualifications like his, he couldn't even get through the doors of the ninja school.'

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of the approval on the table about Uzumaki Naruto's graduation...

Pa!

'Shit!'

Sarutobi Hiruzen jolted, a cold sweat running down his pale face.

He ignored such an important thing!

'Hurry up! Quickly! Otherwise, it would be too late!'

Whoosh!

His body directly disappeared from the seat. The next moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen had jumped from the window of the Hokage's office.

At the same time, two figures dressed in black and wearing animal masks appeared quietly behind him.

"Naruto? Where is he now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even notice that his voice was trembling a bit.

"At the village gate, our men are keeping an eye on him."

　　...

"Hahaha, good!"

"Good, Konoha shinobi looking for death by going up first, Konohagakure is really filled with stupid people!"

In Kumogakure, the laughter of the Fourth Raikage, Ay, resounded through the Raikage's office.

He couldn't wait for Sarutobi Hiruzen to appear in front of him right now so that he could have a good look at that guy's ugly face.

He should ask him well. 'How dare your Konohagakure call yourself the number one shinobi village?'

Now, he couldn't wait to drag Akatsuki, that group of people, to the center of Konohagakure so that Konoha would bloom red from the center.

It was as if the image had appeared before his eyes: Akatsuki's Leader opening up his Secret Technique and sending the entire Konohagakure straight up into the sky.

'Hmm...'

Ay thought about it. The whole thing might be difficult, but half of it was possible.

'Hahaha. If that happened one day, I would want to see Sarutobi Hiruzen's old face at that time!'

The Fourth Raikage was a little excited. His fist clenched, loosened, then clenched again, and loosened again.

"Stupid people running toward death are worse than grass..."

"Darui, do you think I would be able to say those things when I defeat that Might Guy?"

"I see Konoha's Might Guy, a moron seeking death, treating other taijutsu techniques like dirt!"

Below, Darui, who was the right-hand man of the Fourth Raikage, froze for a moment. Then, he calmly said, "In that case, I think another of Konoha's great taijutsu user clan would challenge you."

"You mean... Hyuga?"

Ay smiled disdainfully. Taijutsu was about using fists against the flesh, using one's own muscle and force. That group of girly Jūken users was useless!

"Challenge me? If they aren't afraid of death, let them come!"

"When I beat them, at the right moment, I can also use the words from that renegade Iwagakure brat."

"At the peak of taijutsu, only a god could beat me, the Raikage!"

　　...

At the same time, in Konoha, Hatake Kakashi had found Might Guy, not only told him about his plans but also obtained Might Guy's approval.

"In that case, I'll go back to report to Hokage-sama."

Watching Hatake Kakashi disappear, Might Guy scratched his head.

He knew that guy Obito, they attended ninja school at the same period, and they had to save him. Besides, Kakashi was his lifelong rival, and it was his duty to help them out.

Arriving at Hokage's office, Hatake Kakashi was stopped by a shinobi at the door.

"Hokage-sama isn't in his office."

"Where is Hokage-sama? I have something important to report."

"I don't know."

Hatake Kakashi didn't get the information he wanted, so he thought about it and went straight to the Nara clan's residence.

Originally, he was going to report to the Third Hokage first and then use the transfer order to find the Ino–Shika–Chō trio. But now, it was too late.

Sprinting along, by the time Hatake Kakashi arrived at Nara Shikaku's yard, he found Nara Shikaku cleaning the yard with his son.

"Shikaku-san."

"Oh? It's Kakashi. What is it? Is Hokage-sama looking for me again?"

A strange look flashed in Nara Shikaku's eyes as he saw Kakashi's eager look and solemn face, thinking that something had happened at Hokage's place.

"Shikaku-san, I need your help."

Therefore, Kakashi repeated his plan to rescue Uchiha Obito and looked up, only to find Nara Shikaku's face full of dilemma.

"Kakashi, have you reported this matter to Hokage-sama?"

"Not yet, Shikaku-san, I ..."

"Kakashi, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Nara Shikaku's look changed. Although he smiled on the surface, his tone was distant, "Kakashi-san, if there's nothing else, I'll go back with my son first."

Saying that, without waiting for Kakashi to speak, he held the back of Nara Shikamaru's head and turned around.

With a crack, the doors closed.

Hatake Kakashi stood there for a while and turned away.

Looking at Kakashi's shadow disappearing outside the door, Nara Shikaku retracted his shadow behind the door, his face a little ugly.

'Kakashi, there's only so much I can do for you.'

Nara Shikamaru looked at his silent father and pondered.
