Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed? Chapter 54. Deidara: Really? I Was Just Answering Randomly.

“Deidara, well done!”

Ōnoki had no qualms about praising him. In fact, Deidara was really worthy of it.

‘This teenage Kage-level powerhouse. His talent and understanding were as high as Madara, plus his effort at this moment …’

‘Bravo, bravo!’

To help Iwa shinobi answer the question correctly, he didn’t hesitate to offend Orochimaru from the same organization. It seemed that his heart was still in Iwagakure.

‘If I can keep this next generation of shinobis in Iwagakure, I won’t have to worry about Konoha!’

Glancing at Deidara, then at Uzumaki Naruto of Konoha, and finally gazing at Kurotsuchi, who was looking at Deidara with a puffed-up face, Ōnoki smiled.

He understood everything. He was also once Deidara’s age.

If Kurotsuchi could pull Deidara back to Iwagakure, Ōnoki felt that although it was a bit worse than Uzumaki Naruto, it wasn’t unacceptable.

After all, Uzumaki Naruto had that Hyuga girl beside him. Even he couldn’t bear to pull them apart.

A man, once they get older, they become more sentimental.

Ōnoki shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

As for Deidara’s current flirtation with Kurotsuchi, Ōnoki also has his own understanding.

Right now, Deidara was still young, and he didn’t understand how good a woman was. When he understood it…

…

“It’s Orochimaru! Orochimaru killed Kazekage-sama!”

The yellow Suna group suddenly exploded upon hearing the correct answer, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Orochimaru in the red group.

“Damn it!”

“Orochimaru betrayed us!”

Almost instantly, the shinobis who knew about Rasa’s arrangement figured everything out and felt furious.

“Shut up!”

Baki suddenly shouted. His voice was shaking.

At first, he still thought that the answer was Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, Rasa’s strength and inside information were far behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, so it wasn’t surprising that he was killed.

But after the white Kiri team ruled out Sarutobi Hiruzen, Baki knew that the enemy could only be Orochimaru.

Furthermore, Konoha’s Sarutobi Hiruzen wasn’t in this space. Baki believed that Orochimaru and Rasa jointly killed Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then he turned to attack Rasa.

The reason why his voice trembled was because his eyes were full of anger.

Like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time, it completely erupted!

…

At the raised platform in the middle, Nagato switched the card in his hand and started the second question.

“Brown group, please continue answering the question. Question 2: Who killed the leader of the Konoha Root division, Shimura Danzō?”

‘!’

‘!!’

The moment they heard the question, the most intense reaction wasn’t from Danzō Shimura himself but the countless Root members surrounding him at the moment.

‘Danzō-sama would die?!’

‘This!’

‘Doesn’t that mean we are all going to die?’

When they joined Root, they had all been controlled by Danzō with a Secret Technique or drugs. In other words, if Danzō accidentally died, they would be buried along with him.

Although they were horrified in their hearts, they had masks on their faces, and no one could see any abnormality.

…

‘I’m … I’m going to die after all!’

A cold light flashed in Danzō Shimura’s single eye. Back in the last exam, when he knew that he wasn’t going to be the Fifth Hokage, he had guessed that he would die.

However, he couldn’t understand why he was still alive when Akatsuki’s leader attacked Konoha.

‘Why did Tsunade get elected when I was alive?’

‘Besides, when did I die? And who killed me?’

These series of questions had been lingering in his mind.

With a deep gaze towards Nagato, Shimura Danzō knew that the right answer was in his hands.

…

“Deidara! Answer this question too!”

Kurotsuchi looked at Deidara with anger.

She thought that Deidara must have been lucky just now. ‘It’s just a coincidence!’

Or, maybe he already knew the answer and shocked her on purpose.

After all, he was also a member of Akatsuki.

So, she refused to accept it!

She knew that Deidara’s shinobi skills were better than her, and her grandfather praised him all the time, so she nagged Deidara since childhood and wanted to learn from him.

But she absolutely couldn’t accept that Deidara was smarter than her!

‘That’s impossible!’

‘No way!’

Kurotsuchi looked at Deidara provocatively:

” I don’t believe you can still get this question right! If you get it right! I’ll admit you’re better than me!”

Behind her, Ōnoki looked at the young ones with a smile. He didn’t think that the two young ones were acting childish right now. This was just the way a bond should be created.

With more bonds, Deidara couldn’t escape.

Moreover, Deidara had never done anything wrong to Iwagakure. If he was willing to go back to the village, Ōnoki could easily solve the problem of him becoming a renegade shinobi.

Iwagakure could still accommodate a renegade S-rank shinobi.

“You want me to answer? Are you sure?”

For the first time, Deidara thought Kurotsuchi was stupid.

Letting him continue to answer?

‘You’re determined to let Iwa fall into a trap, huh?’

Deidara got a little excited.

To be honest, he was careless just now, not expecting that the real answer would be Orochimaru.

This gave him a little bit of regret. In the final stage, when he had to choose one, he actually ruled out the wrong answer and chose the correct one!

‘Was choosing one out of the two that difficult?’

Deidara shook his head and shook the mistake of the first question out of his head.

He was careless about the last question. But this time, Kurotsuchi gave him another opportunity; he had to cherish it.

‘I can’t answer correctly this time!’

If he was correct again, Iwagakure would succeed in this make-up exam!

Deidara looked at Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi. He kept thinking that the blame should be on Konoha’s head.

He had thought that if he got another chance to answer the question, he would blame Uchiha Itachi.

But … Uchiha Itachi was too strong and ruthless. He was even willing to destroy his own clan. If he could destroy that, why not Danzō? It’s still too likely!

Deidara was a little hesitant to dive into the mindset of a guy like Uchiha Itachi but was afraid that it would really be him.

‘No way!’

‘This time, choose an absolutely impossible answer!’

‘That’s right! Doesn’t Uchiha Itachi have a younger brother?’

‘Yes, the little boy!’

‘Blame him!’

‘Just blame it on him!’

With this in mind, Deidara’s mouth turned up as he looked at Kurotsuchi with a smile.

‘This time!’

‘I’ll definitely be wrong!’

‘It’s settled!’

…

Ōnoki looked at Deidara with expectant eyes. In his view, Deidara was now silent, and his eyes wandered, a sign that his brain was running wild.

‘Just how would Deidara answer this question?’

‘What is Deidara’s thinking?’

Ōnoki pondered the question and found that he had no idea at all.

This question was too difficult!

‘Filling in the blanks was so hard!’

At least answering multiple-choice questions could be done at random. There was a chance of picking the correct one. But filling in the blanks, there was no way!

Knowing was knowing, and not knowing was not knowing. There was no possibility of guessing correctly by luck.

Suddenly, Ōnoki saw the corner of Deidara’s mouth pick up, and his heart shook.

‘Could it be that Deidara got the answer so soon?’

‘How is that possible!?’

…

“I didn’t realize that there was such a character in Akatsuki.”

Noticing the corner of Deidara’s mouth, Nara Shikaku spoke to Nara Shikamaru in a serious tone.

This problem, even he, had no clue at all. Unexpectedly, the other side had prevailed in just a few seconds.

‘This intelligence-gathering ability!’

‘This intelligence-analyzing ability!’

‘No wonder Akatsuki is so strong.’

No wonder, this time, Akatsuki made such a decisive move. Their method of breaking the game was so sharp.

‘So, it was all his plan!’

Akatsuki’s strategist was Deidara.
