NARUTO: EXPOSED BY THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SYSTEM

Second Generation, Whose Mouth Is Open, The Countdown To the Question and Answer! (Ask for Flowers!)

Seeing a group of people ganging up on Sarutobi Hiruzen, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but frown. After all, Hiruzen was once his apprentice.

Although Tobirama considered Hiruzen shameless in many ways, he still had to step in for him. As he rolled his eyes, something caught his attention.

[Senju Tobirama]: "Wait a minute, everyone. Did you all notice that the name of the person speaking just now doesn't match ours?"

[Third Raikage]: "Huh? Now that you mention it… his name is… 'Konoha Salted Fish'???"

[Fourth Kazekage, Rasa]: "Hiss~ What's going on here? Since when did Konoha have names like this?"

[Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei]: "No way… Is that really someone's name? Why does it sound more like a title?"

[Namikaze Minato, 'The Most Beloved Husband in the Ninja World']: "Wait a second… I just realized something. It seems like we can change our names!"

[Mizukage, 'The First Beauty of the Ninja World', Terumi Mei]: "Really!?!?!"

['The Fastest Shinobi in the Ninja World']: "Hmm… That seems to be the case!"

['Shura of the Ninja World']: "Who else could pull this off? It must be Senju Tobirama! Hahaha!"

['The Most Handsome God of Shinobi']: "Second Brother, have some shame!"

['The Fastest Shinobi in the Ninja World']: "Big Brother, do you really have the right to call me out on this??"

['I Have Kekkei Tōta']: "Heh, you two are practically the same."

['The Most Handsome God of Shinobi']: "Wait, who the hell are you???"

[Second Tsuchikage, Mū]: "Brat, why are you stealing my title?"

[Bloodline Eliminated]: Uh, teacher, I'll change it back…

[The Fastest Ninja in the World]: Well, isn't this basically a self-report?

[Senju Hashirama]: Let's change it back; it's getting messy!

[Senju Tobirama]: Since the name can be changed, that means the previous one wasn't the real name to begin with!

[Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei]: So, what is this? An anonymous report??

[Fourth Raikage, A]: Hahaha! As expected of the Fifth Mizukage, her way of thinking is definitely unique. How does "anonymous reporting" even work in this situation?

[Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki]: So, what do the parties involved think?

[Fourth Kazekage, Rasa]: Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Regret. I deeply regret this. One should never—at least not like this!"

[Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki]: Damn, I really thought Sarutobi Hiruzen was the one speaking. Rasa, you're a genius!

[Second Tsuchikage, Mū]: This is absurd!

[Senju Tobirama]: Cough Alright, that's enough! The person in question stopped talking anyway.

[Uchiha Madara]: You guys still have time to bicker? We're running out of chances!

[Senju Tobirama]: What's the rush? There's no set time limit. Just think it through carefully.

At that moment, a notification sound echoed through the system.

[Ding!] It has been detected that no one has answered for a prolonged period. A countdown will now begin. If no answer is submitted within one minute, it will be considered a full abstention. The system will randomly eliminate one participant and reveal the correct answer!

As soon as the message appeared in the public chat, the entire group fell silent.

Senju Tobirama's expression stiffened. He suddenly wondered—had he just jinxed it?

[Uchiha Madara]: Damn it, Senju Tobirama! You idiot! Why did you have to say that?!

[Senju Tobirama]: How is this my fault?! How can you pin this on me?!

[Third Raikage]: Y'know, yysy, I kinda think Second Hokage just reminded the system…

[Second Tsuchikage]: qs

[Second Mizukage]: qs

[Senju Tobirama]: I swear to—! You three, do you want to fight first?! What's with the random abbreviations?!

[Senju Hashirama]: Stop arguing! Focus on answering the question!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Let me answer it!!!

[Third Raikage]: Kid, do you really know the answer?

[Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei]: How do you know it's a little brother? What if it's a sister?

[Third Raikage]: Do you want to take a gamble? Are you some kind of reckless daredevil?

[Senju Tobirama]: Are you certain?

[Uchiha Madara]: Don't just guess recklessly!

[Passerby A]: What are you doing? Don't mess around! What if you guess wrong?

[Passerby B]: That's right! You're putting everyone's lives on the line!

[Passerby C]: Exactly! How can you be so sure your guess is correct?

Everyone was tense, fearing that if Kaito guessed wrong, he would be the one to be obliterated. Panic spread, and soon, the whole group descended into chaos.

[Senju Hashirama]: Enough! Even if he doesn't guess, wouldn't the system just pick someone at random to be erased?

[Senju Tobirama]: Heh. They're all just afraid of being the one chosen. A bunch of cowards. Think about it—whether he guesses or not, the system will erase someone. But if he guesses correctly, at least one person can be spared.

Hearing Tobirama's words, the crowd fell silent. He was right. They were all scared of being the one erased, but even if Kaito didn't make a guess, one of them would still be doomed in the end.
