Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed? Novel

Chapter 11 - 11. I Believe In You More Than I Believe Myself!


[Question 2: Which of the following characters isn’t a spy from Konohagakure?]

[A: Konan.] ​​

[B: Uchiha Itachi.]

[C: Six Path Pain.]

[D: Uchiha Obito.]

“Nagato …”

Behind Nagato’s wheelchair, Konan’s ten fingers subconsciously clenched together.

Witnessing the miracle of the exam space, even Konan began to doubt herself.

She knew of Nagato’s hatred for Konohagakure and also knew the pain that Nagato had gone through and was going through.

After all, compared to her, Nagato not only lost Yahiko but also lost his health and freedom.

Unable to stand up again for the rest of his life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and control the Six Path Pains to walk through the world for him.

Obviously possessing the power to make all the decisions, but…

‘Such sadness!’

Therefore, if the exam space was really right, then between the two of them, if there was a traitor, it could only be her!

Konan’s heart ached at that moment. She had already thought of what terrible harm her betrayal would do to Nagato.

“If there was really a situation where I would become a traitor, I think… that would be because your life was threatened.” Konan’s trembling voice sounded behind Nagato.

“If that happens …”

“I hope you won’t blame me, Nagato.”

Konan’s voice was full of anguish. A tear rolled down her face, hitting Nagato’s thin cheek and splashing into several petals.

“Nagato, this question, the correct answer must be you!”

Konan was getting more and more aggrieved. Her strength, obviously, could defeat Sasori without any effort. Her expression could obviously remain unchanged, like frost for over ten years, but now, she just couldn’t control her tears.

She choked back a sob. She couldn’t understand why the shinobi world was so cruel to her.

‘Shouldn’t the stronger someone was, the more accommodated they should be?’

Why was there only harm done in her case!

Why!

She was still a woman!

She was still a woman!

“Also… Perhaps, knowing the future, we could avoid these things.”

Her voice was so small as if she couldn’t even convince herself.

Tears silently eroded her makeup. The blue, cold eye shadow was completely spent.

Looking at the ‘angel’ of the organization so out of shape, even the most rigid Kakuzu and the most inhuman Hidan and Sasori had no disdain at this time.

They could all see that the cold angel in the organization was, at the moment, really helpless.

  …

“Although it is impossible, I don’t know why, but I hope Konan in option A is the correct answer.”

Ao standing behind Terumī Mei, spoke dryly.

He was a stiff man who didn’t know how to comfort a woman. When he said this, he still looked at her as his immediate superior.

His Byakugan opened because he was frightened, although only 359°, could still see them.

The tears on her face and the suppressed lightly shrugged shoulders of the figure in front of him.

Although the tears haven’t fallen, they were vaporized by the heat on her face, and even the water mist couldn’t be seen.

No matter how strong a kunoichi was, she was a woman after all.

For a while, Mei’s heart was surprisingly a bit saddened.

  …

On the main road leading to Konohagakure, Shizune looked at Tsunade, who had stopped in amazement.

‘Somehow, two tear marks appeared on her face!’

‘Tears!’

‘On Tsunade-sama’s face?’

Shizune couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t associate tears, a fragile thing, with a strong kunoichi like Tsunade-sama.

‘But what is that deep helplessness and empathy in Tsunade-sama’s eyes?’

“Shizune, I’m tired. Let’s rest for today.”

“Ah? Okay!”

Shizune scratched her head.

‘I don’t understand how Tsunade-sama is tired after just coming out of the casino for less than half an hour.’

‘Half an hour ago, wasn’t she still shouting at the gambling table that she would win and provide relief to the victims?’

  …

Above, Ryuji looked at Konan, who was in tears and suddenly felt that he had gone too far.

He himself put Pain in a dilemma to fool him without thinking about what the other party, Konan, would think.

‘Alas!’

Looking at the tearful Konan below, Ryuji sighed.

She was always too soft-hearted to carry everything by herself.

“System, if Pain could answer this question correctly, can you give him a little extra reward?”

[Yes. It needs to be deducted from your reward.]

“Hmm?”

Ryuji was stunned. ‘Deducted?’

‘I did not expect … did not expect that a system like you could understand the conservation of mass!’

‘Heh, who made me too young and made the mistake that all men would make.’

“Okay, if Pain gets this question right, take half of my reward and give it to Konan. If he gets it wrong, take half of his reward and give it to Konan.”

[You do not have enough privileges to assign exam rewards, you can only give them away.]

[Please continue to manage the exam and unblock your privileges.]

[Order: You can only give your reward to the person who answered the question. Are you sure?]

‘WTF!’

Ryuji froze, smiled bitterly, and could only accept it.

….

Below, under the watchful eyes of the crowd and the countless eyes of the shinobi world, Pain finally opened his mouth to speak slowly.

“Konan, the happiest thing in my life is to meet you and Yahiko.”

Tears came out of his eyes, letting Pain know that Rinnegan could also shed tears.

“I believe that Yahiko thinks so too.”

“With a passionate heart, we dared to proclaim that we would bring peace to the world when we clearly had nothing.”

“Although we haven’t defeated the darkness of the shinobi world, and Yahiko is dead.”

“But, I believe that if Yahiko were here, he would make the same choice as me.”

A decision was made in his mind, but Pain’s mind was much more at ease.

“Answering the space! I choose A!”

“Konan is definitely not Konohagakure’s spy!”

Shouting out the answer, Pain relaxed and slumped back into his wheelchair.

At this moment, he felt that he was more relieved than ever, and the corners of his mouth were slightly up.

“Konan, I believe in you, better than I believe in myself.”

“Wuwuwu…”

Konan completely collapsed. She didn’t expect it; she never expected it.

What she looked forward to and longed for came true!

At this moment, she burst into tears.

At this moment, she no longer held back.

She hugged Nagato from behind, hugged his wheelchair, buried her head in Pain’s hair, and burst into tears.

She seemed to cry out all the grievances.

…..

“Stupid! Stupid!” Zetsu’s eyeballs popped out and suddenly pointed at Pain.

He was about to continue to scold, but a fist suddenly smashed him from the side.

“Where did this guy come from? Disrupting the exam. Exam space, I will help you teach him a lesson!”

Bam!

Unprepared, he was beaten by Deidara.

Only punching Zetsu away, Deidara reacted, a drop of cold sweat dripped from Deidara’s face.

He didn’t know why he wanted to hit him. But his nose felt sour, so he wanted to hit something.

And this guy jumped out.

Now, he was starting to have second thoughts.

‘If that fog-like palm came again…’

[It’s okay, everyone has the right to maintain discipline in the examination room.]

“What … what?!”

Deidara was shocked when she saw the fog spelling something out. He almost burst out laughing. However, before his laughter came out, he suppressed it.

He looked up in disbelief, “Ahem, this… this is… How is this possible!?”

[Correct answer. Do you want to see the analysis?]
