Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

For a long while, Nagato woke up quietly, with a wise gleam in his eyes.

He now had countless ideas and sufficient strength and was ready to reform the shinobi world drastically.

​​

Unfortunately...

Nagato sighed; he could only let the Pains walk for him because of physical reasons, and the Pains still had a certain limit in the distance.

This was too inconvenient.

"Nagato, drink this medicine."

When Nagato was lamenting, Konan suddenly handed over a small green medicine bottle.

And without saying a word, she pulled open Nagato's mouth and poured it down.

When a group of people in the exam space saw this scene, they suddenly narrowed their eyes quietly and speculated one by one.

'Is that little green bottle Konan's additional reward?'

'What could it be!?'

'Maybe enhancing strength or healing one's body?'

A cooling sensation went down his throat. Nagato was stunned to find that the cooling sensation had spread throughout his body in that instant.

Then, an unbearable, terrible itch appeared on him, as if countless ants were rhythmically moving through his body, gnawing at his heart in unison.

Konan watched Nagato nervously. At the moment when the Water of Life was poured into him, Nagato's body began to swell like a balloon.

Dozens of black chakra sticks inserted behind him had been squeezed out of the body by the newly grown muscles.

At the moment when the black rods were separated from the body, all the Pains immediately fell to the ground together.

But Nagato had no time to evaluate the others. At the moment, he was leaning on the wheelchair with one hand, trembling to get up.

"I... I recovered?"

Nagato looked at his lower body in disbelief. Although he was still unstable, he did stand up.

'What exactly did Konan give me?'

It made him recover so quickly from his incurable injuries.

Even his drained chakra body recovered altogether.

This was simply a miracle!

Nagato shook his fist excitedly. Now, he was more than a few times stronger than he was earlier. It was such a massive difference.

[This exam is over. Please leave the exam room in an orderly manner.]

A light door made of fog suddenly appeared, and the crowd understood that this was the exam space starting to drive them away.

With a twinkle in his eye, Nagato picked up a black rod of chakra that had fallen from his back, bent it directly into a bracelet, and slipped it over his hand.

Suddenly, all the Pains lying on the ground opened their eyes and dashed towards the exit.

The black rod of chakra was Nagato's means of controlling the Pains.

Although it was more efficient to control them while it was inserted into his flesh than affixed to the surface of his body, at the moment, Nagato disregarded these because of his own powerful chakra.

Quickly occupying the exit, Nagato's feet moved. His body suddenly rose up, and his red cloud robe was billowing in the whistling wind as he passed through the doorway and landed on the ground outside the door.

Seven figures in a semicircle directly surrounded the exit.

"Sky Walk!"

The other people of Akatsuki looked as if they were stirred and also moved. They also left the exam space and also stood at the entrance.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya, who looked glum, and slowly walked out, followed by Zetsu and then Jiraiya.

The fog dispersed slowly, and the weight on Uchiha Obito's body disappeared.

He quickly got up, took out a robe from space, and covered himself with it.

His feet moved; he rose up in the air and rushed out of the exam space.

"Zetsu!"

Out of the exam space, Uchiha Obito was still in the air when he roared.

A huge wooden thorn appeared in his hand. He directly thrust it towards Zetsu.

"Obito!"

Black Zetsu gave a hateful cry and looked at the incoming wooden spike with a disdainful smile.

Uchiha Obito dared to attack him with Wood Release. 'Does he really think that his Wood Release was awakened by himself?'

'Heh.'

Zetsu didn't move.

Uchiha Obito suddenly became stiff and fell from mid-air.

He was horrified to find that half of his body couldn't move, as if he was controlled by another person.

What made him feel more terrified was that half of his body suddenly bulged with a whole white human-shaped creature.

'This is ...'

'White Zetsu!'

Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito with disdain and told White Zetsu in Obito's body to strike directly.

The moment White Zetsu made a move, Jiraiya's figure appeared in front of Obito.

"Ninja Technique: Wild Lion's Mane Technique!"

Jiraiya's spiky hair instantly became longer and directly bounded Uchiha Obito together with the White Zetsu on him, saving Uchiha Obito.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

At the same time, the other Akatsuki members had moved to surround Zetsu, with Obito, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Itachi in the middle.

They quietly waited for Nagato to speak. As soon as Nagato gave the order, they would instantly strike and turn the five people in the middle into dust.

Uchiha Itachi stood quietly. He was the only one who didn't do anything since they came out of the space.

"If it had been the former me, all five of you would be dead by now."

Nagato spoke slowly, his voice indescribably strange.

The original lofty and cold voice, at the moment, had a different inexplicable tone of affinity.

"Killing people, cannot solve a dispute. War cannot achieve peace. Jutsu is the primary productive force."

"Zetsu, leave the ring, and I'll let you go."

Nagato's words stunned Black Zetsu. He didn't expect Nagato to take the initiative to let himself go.

'This...'

'Could he be afraid of my relationship with Uchiha Madara?'

Black Zetsu had lived for thousands of years, but at this moment, only such a possibility came to mind.

Even so, it was good for him. It's just a delay in the plan, and for the time being, he could still keep the underground White Zetsus from being exposed.

Black Zetsu hesitated for a few seconds, took the Gai ring directly off his right pinky finger, and threw it at Nagato.

Then with a deep look at Nagato's Rinnegan and an eye-roll at Uchiha Obito, Zetsu's body shook and sank to the ground.

After waiting underground for a while, seeing that Nagato really didn't do anything else, he left with the countless White Zetsus who had just arrived in this area in a big wave.

"Orochimaru, take your ring. Work hard to achieve peace in the world. I'll let bygones be bygones."

Orochimaru blinked and pulled out a ring from his pocket that had the word Kū and put it on his left pinky finger.

Glancing at Jiraiya, Orochimaru walked out of the encirclement without saying a word, and joined the group of the remaining three Akatsuki members.

No one knew whether it was intentional or not, but Orochimaru joined the encirclement right next to Hidan.

"Hidan-san, can you give me the black cloud robe in your hand first?"

When Hidan heard Orochimaru's words, he subconsciously hugged the robe in his arms tighter, stared at Orochimaru with wide eyes, and looked at Orochimaru with intimidation.

'You rotten snake, you just came back, and now you want my robe?'

'Tsk!'

'Keep dreaming!'

Nagato didn't pay attention to Orochimaru's side. He took his eyes off Jiraiya and settled on Itachi.

Itachi quietly lifted the Shu ring on his hand, joined the group encirclement, silently expressing everything with his action.

Uchiha Itachi's heart was in turmoil right now. Besides, he didn't have much contact with Jiraiya, and he hated Uchiha Obito even more and wanted to get rid of him.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Nagato's mouth picked up slightly.

"Jiraiya, I'm going to have to keep you here, for now, to keep you from delivering the message."

Nagato then stepped into the encirclement.

This time, he was ready to take matters into his own hands and capture Jiraiya.

Yes, to capture Jiraiya, not to kill him.

He would subdue Jiraiya, and then he would act as a teacher and 'educate' Jiraiya.

And make Jiraiya agree with him.

In this way, he would have one more like-minded person.

By the way, the rest of Akatsuki should also study together.

And every time after listening to his lectures, each person must also submit a report.

Nagato was well aware of how fast the members of Akatsuki would make progress and how painful it would be.

Because in the exclusive reward ...

That's how he got here.
