Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

Chapter 125 - 124. Black Zetsu Meltdown!

Quiet.

Pin drop silence.

Whether it was six people in the exam space, or countless people outside the exam space, watching the disappearing image, they were caught in an eerie silence.

In the shinobi world, for a moment, it was as if someone had pressed the pause button.

Everyone remembered the scene in the picture just now.

'The progenitor of chakra in the Shinobi world was the mother of Black Zetsu and the Sage of Six Paths!'

'Black Zetsu and the Sage of Six Paths are actually brothers!'

'And, even more unbelievable, Sage of Six Paths has been dead for so many years that only his legend remained in the shinobi world, but Black Zetsu is still alive!'

??...

"That jutsu just now, is that the Chibaku Tensei?"

In Amegakure, Uzumaki Nagato, who had just arrived at the entrance of Orochimaru's research facility with Uchiha Fugaku, froze when he saw what was on the screen.

He looked up at the screen above him in astonishment.

"What's the matter?"

Fugaku saw Uzumaki Nagato's abnormality and curiously asked.

Hearing Fugaku's inquiry, Uzumaki Nagato gently shook his head and looked back.

He was thinking, 'With the power level of Sage of Six Paths, what would the Chibaku Tensei become after such a long time?'

In other words, 'Where is the sealed woman right now?'

'Even Black Zetsu is still alive, then the sealed woman is definitely still alive!'

??...

"Black Zetsu ... Damn it!"

Seeing the last image, Uchiha Madara was finally certain that Black Zetsu had tricked him!

The examination space was right, and he was wrong!

What angered him most was not that Black Zetsu had lied to him about his identity, but that the Eye of the Moon plan had actually been a lie as well!

Uchiha Madara's teeth clenched together with a deadly gnashing sound.

The Eye of the Moon plan was never the ultimate means of bringing peace to the shinobi world!

If it was really about achieving peace in the shinobi world, the Sage of Six Paths and his mother wouldn't have fought.

After all, the shinobi world had only ever heard of positive things about the Sage of Six Paths since the beginning.

Why would the Sage of Six Paths fight with the wielder, his mother, if this technique was beneficial to the shinobi world?

'It can't be that Sage of Six Paths isn't some creator, but a destroyer, right?'

The more Uchiha Madara thought about it, the more confused he was. He knew that only Black Zetsu could answer all of his questions.

Therefore, he couldn't wait to get Black Zetsu right in front of him, so he could ask him about it!

"Damn it! Zetsu!"

The voice that suppressed the extreme emotion emerged from Uchiha Madara's mouth, and the strong killing intent made the five Kages on the opposite side feel a shiver down their backs.

It's just that this was the first time that Uchiha Madara took the exam, and he didn't know that everything he said and did would be broadcasted live to the whole shinobi world.

Therefore, everything that Uchiha Madara was doing at this moment was seen by Black Zetsu.

In the shinobi world.

Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Madara's figure on the screen with an expressionless face.

Seeing Uchiha Madara's resentment, Black Zetsu felt that if he was beside him, he would have been eaten alive by him right now.

Black Zetsu withdrew his eyes. He thought that he had paid enough attention to this mysterious exam space, but to his surprise, it was still far from enough!

Not only did it reveal his true past, it even showed them the history of what happened back then.

'It has remarkable means!'

Black Zetsu somewhat lamented. It knew of his identity. Except for ?tsutsuki Kaguya, even ?tsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura, those two guys, didn't know!

Now, surprisingly, the exam space knew! And also revealed it to everyone!

Listening to the sound of Uchiha Madara gritting his teeth in the exam space, Black Zetsu smiled disdainfully.

His eyes wandered, not showing what he was truly thinking.

??...

In the exam space.

As the shocked emotions of the crowd gradually subsided, the second question of the examination space had appeared.

Since the right to answer the question was transferred to Uchiha Madara again, the first answer to the second question was again from Uchiha Madara.

[Question 2: What is Black Zetsu's reason for resurrecting Uchiha Madara?]

[ A. Agreement with Uchiha Madara.]

[B. Request from the White Zetsu --Tobi.]

[C. Request from Uchiha Obito.]

[D. Conditions for resurrecting ?tsutsuki Kaguya.]

Seeing this question, Uchiha Madara's face, which had turned purple, finally looked better.

Without the first question just now, he might have chosen option A again.

But now...

"I choose option D!"

The corner of Uchiha Madara's mouth picked up, not even giving the exam space a chance to react.

"Give me the analysis!"

Uchiha Madara looked at the screen above with some excitement.

He loved the feeling of watching the video just now!

He wanted to see what he had done to meet ?tsutsuki Kaguya's resurrection requirements.

He wanted to take advantage of this analysis to figure out how to disrupt ?tsutsuki Kaguya's resurrection!

??....

"Uchiha Madara! You're looking for death!!!"

In the shinobi world, upon witnessing Uchiha Madara's eagerness, Black Zetsu, who guessed Uchiha Madara's intention, instantly went ballistic.

As he scolded, the ground around the space he was in burst into a dense mass of wooden spikes!

Controlling his impulse to storm off, Black Zetsu withdrew the wooden spikes on the ground and looked at Uchiha Madara above him.

This was the first time he truly felt nervous.

What kind of analysis will the exam space give Uchiha Madara?

If the analysis really showed the requirement for his mother's resurrection, it would be terrible!

Looking at Uchiha Madara's eager look, Black Zetsu finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Now, the whole shinobi world knew that his mother was ?tsutsuki Kaguya!

This would undoubtedly cause trouble for his rescue plan.

Moreover, the most frightening thing was that the live broadcast from the exam space had probably alerted the ?tsutsuki clan on the moon.

With this situation, Black Zetsu could no longer take Uchiha Madara to the moon.

Even if he had the means to restrain Madara, he still wouldn't bring him there.

After all, his mother had been sealed for thousands of years, and he still didn't know what state she would be in after the seal was broken.

His eyes fluctuated a few times. In the end, Black Zetsu could only grind his teeth.

"No, I can't drag this out any longer! If I delay any longer, the uncertainty of saving Mother would be even greater!"

Black Zetsu looked serious. The leaves on his head quietly closed up as he burrowed towards the ground.

Not long after, he arrived in a large space underground.

Glancing at the densely packed White Zetsu below, Black Zetsu's face looked a little better.

Although without Uchiha Madara, the strength he prepared had decreased, but Black Zetsu couldn't help it.

He gave the White Zetsus a signal, ordering all the White Zetsus to keep up with him.

Black Zetsu turned around and led nearly 100,000 White Zetsu towards the special passage between the moon and the earth.

??.....

[Correct answer.]

[This question is too simple, so the analysis is omitted.]

Looking at the explanation given by the exam space, Uchiha Madara froze.

He never thought that the exam space could reply like this!

'Too simple...?'

'Simple!?'

Looking somberly at these words, Uchiha Madara's mood, which had just somewhat eased, sank back down.

He felt that he was being mocked!

He felt... offended!

On the other hand, the five Kages saw that Uchiha Madara got it right and said nothing. And they prepared to answer the next question.

[Question 3: How did Uchiha Madara, who has the Rinnegan, gain access to Six Path Senjutsu?]

[A. Evolving the Rinnegan.]

[B. Becoming the J?bi's Jinch?riki.]

[C. Eating the fruit of the Divine Tree.]

[D. Seizing power from ?tsutsuki Kaguya.]

Seeing the question and the answer list of the third question, Tsunade and the others froze simultaneously.

'Uchiha Madara had the Rinnegan... how was he able to use the Six Paths Senjutsu?'

"What is the Six Paths Senjutsu?"

Senju Tsunade's face was a little flushed. With her insight, it was the first time she heard the term Six Paths Senjutsu.

However, these days, they had heard about Six Paths Pain quite a few times.

Glancing at the other Kages and seeing that their faces were also full of incomprehension, Tsunade sighed.

"I don't know the answer. What do you guys think?"
