Ōnoki: "Didn't you see the rewards are random? And you still think you'll get resurrection? Use your brain!"
Uchiha Madara: "Brat, are you looking to die? Want to fight me?!"
Fourth Raikage A: "These rewards won't be easy to get! Who even knows which answer is correct? There are so many choices—damn it!!!"
Mei Terumī: "I've already ordered my people to analyze the question."
Uchiha Madara: "!!!"
Tsunade: "!!!"
Ōnoki: "!!!"
Might Guy: "!!!"
That works?!
It actually made perfect sense.
If you wanted to be correct, you should analyze first!
There was always a chance to guess right.
Nara Shikaku: "Only three people can win, but more than three will definitely choose the same answer. That means whoever acts fastest is most likely to get the reward."
"So not only does your answer need to be correct, but when the ten seconds are up—you also need speed."
Shikaku's explanation made everyone realize instantly—
There was a limit on reward slots!!!
The competition was intense!
This clearly favored the Five Great Nations—their numbers gave them an advantage.
On the other hand, it was extremely unfavorable for the Akatsuki.
They only had a handful of members. Expecting them to choose correctly and act fast… the difficulty was enormous.
Nagato's heart sank slightly.
He looked up at the massive screen in the sky, thinking—
Is this system targeting me?
Is it deliberately strengthening the Five Great Nations?
"What is the correct answer…?"
Ten seconds wasn't long.
Nagato thought rapidly.
Six options, six possible identities.
A powerful shinobi with the Rinnegan, a daimyō, a hero, a writer, a chef, a gifted pioneer.
First, the chef and writer could be ruled out.
That left shinobi, hero, pioneer, and daimyō.
A powerful shinobi with the Rinnegan—just like the Akatsuki leader of this world—was that possible? Yes.
Even in a different world, the overall structure might not change much.
Becoming a hero, followed by many shinobi, also fit the identity.
"If I'm not mistaken… it should be a hero."
"Even if there are differences in the other world, the change would only be that."
"If he's still just a powerful Rinnegan user like me… that would be too boring."
In just a few seconds, Nagato considered countless possibilities.
In reality, most people chose "hero."
Because that was the ideal every village promoted—
Heroism.
After witnessing Konoha's destruction, no one wanted another "terrorist" like Pain to appear in the other world.
But Nagato's talent couldn't be denied—
Awakening the Rinnegan at just eight years old.
Others had also made their choices, and the chatroom was already in chaos.
Senju Hashirama: "I pick 5—the creator of delicious food! Just thinking about food makes me drool, hahaha!"
No reason needed—this was simply Hashirama's personality.
Senju Tobirama: "Of course it's a village hero. No matter the standpoint, it should be that way. A village without heroes would be tragic."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "I'll choose whatever my teacher chooses."
Ōnoki: "Agreed. A village needs heroes."
Fourth Raikage A: "Well said!"
Naruto: "I also choose hero!"
Jiraiya: "Of course, a bestselling author! That's one of my few passions, hahaha!"
Kakashi: "Icha Icha Paradise—my favorite. Too bad it's no longer being serialized."
Orochimaru: "Naturally, a pioneer of technology. Only science can change the world. Through it, one can achieve immortality. I choose 6."
Uchiha Sasuke: "I choose a powerful shinobi. Without strength, this world will only scorn you."
Uchiha Madara: "What use is technology? Before ninjutsu, it's worthless. I choose a powerful shinobi—only strength grants everything."
Orochimaru: "Whether you choose powerful shinobi or hero, so many people will pick those. Even if you're right, will it be your turn to get the reward?"
His words shocked everyone.
There were many correct answers—
But only three winners.
When the countdown ended, it would all come down to speed.
Kakashi: "With decades of single life, my hand speed won't lose to any of you. And I've even developed a secret technique—Thousand Years of Death!"
Naruto's expression stiffened instantly.
Hidan: "What should I pick? So annoying—whatever, I'll just choose randomly."
The ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
As the final moment approached, everyone's hearts pounded wildly.
The instant the countdown ended—
Everyone in the chatroom selected their answer at the same time.
Not even a fraction of a second could be wasted.
[The correct answer to this reward quiz is: 6.]
[The first three participants to choose correctly are: Orochimaru of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, Copy Ninja Kakashi, and Akatsuki member Hidan.]
[Orochimaru has received the reward: Totsuka Blade Escape Card. Upon use, it allows escape from the sealing of the Totsuka Blade!]
[Copy Ninja Kakashi has received the reward: One Resurrection Coin. Upon use, it allows direct return from the Pure Land to the real world!]
[Akatsuki member Hidan has received the reward: Perfect Restoration Elixir. Upon use, it perfectly restores all bodily injuries, including dismemberment and diseases.]
Hidan: "I just picked randomly—and I got it right?!"
Hidan was stunned.
He had chosen with his tongue, and even regretted it immediately after—he didn't care about technology at all, only ideology.
He had even tried to change his answer with his tongue—but it didn't work!
Yet the result left him overjoyed—
He had obtained the Perfect Restoration Elixir!
No longer would he be blown into countless pieces!
Senju Tobirama: "How could it be 6? Shouldn't it have been hero?"
Nagato: "How is it not hero? Am I not worthy?!"
He couldn't accept it.
With the Rinnegan—
He hadn't become a hero… hadn't become a god?!
What was going on?!
Uchiha Madara: "What are you all still arguing about? Is anyone near Kakashi's body? Check whether he's actually been revived! And Orochimaru can escape the Totsuka Blade seal? Are you kidding me?!"
Everyone snapped out of it.
They had been so focused on choosing answers—
They had forgotten about the rewards!
The Totsuka Blade—wasn't that a divine weapon said to seal everything?!
And Orochimaru could escape it?
Kakashi had clearly died in battle just moments ago—
Could he really come back to life?
And Hidan, who had been blown into countless pieces by Shikamaru—
Was he fully restored now?!
