NARUTO: EXPOSED BY THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SYSTEM

The Whim, Finally Concealed! (Ask for Flowers!)

Kaito, lying on the bed, smiled at this moment. As expected, anyone would feel fear when their life was in danger.

[Senju Tobirama]: Go ahead, take a guess. It doesn't matter if you're wrong. I'd like to see who dares to betray us. If anyone causes you trouble, I'll have the Saru clan deal with them!

[Senju Hashirama]: That's right! Don't worry, I promise no one will threaten your safety!

[Third Raikage]: Hah! You're dead—how exactly are you going to protect him?

[Tsunade]: Then what about me? I can protect him, can't I?

[Senju Tobirama, Senju Hashirama]: …Little Tsunade?!

[Tsunade]: Grandpa! Great-Uncle! It's been a long time!

[Senju Tobirama]: Hmph, I never expected to see you here…

[Senju Hashirama]: Well, brother, if anyone causes trouble, just send them to Tsunade!

[Fourth Raikage - A]: Enough reminiscing for now. I'll make this clear—if anyone dares to mess with you, I'll personally take care of them!

[Third Tsuchikage - Ōnoki]: Hmph, the old man will ensure it too.

[Fourth Kazekage - Rasa]: Count me in!

[Fifth Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: And if things get too dangerous, you can always seek refuge with me~

Seeing the support of these powerful figures, those who had spoken against him just moments ago were utterly devastated!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Thank you all! Then, I'll take a guess. System, my answer is—the strongest ninja in the world is me!

[Senju Brothers & the Kage Group]: ???

At that moment, the screen fell silent. All the powerhouses were stunned. Good guy… really good guy!

We were just standing up for you, and you throw this out? How are we supposed to vouch for you now?!

[Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki]: Can I take back what I just said?

[Fourth Kazekage, Rasa]: Funny, I was just about to say the same thing.

[Fourth Raikage, A]: Count me in!

[Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi]: Giggle Little brother, you're really interesting when you talk. I'll say the same thing—if you're ever in danger, come find me~

[Tsunade]: Hmph! Konoha's ninja don't need outsiders to protect them! If anyone dares to trouble you, they'll have to go through me first!

[Uchiha Madara]: Hah! You're all overthinking it. He never said who he is. So who exactly can trouble him?

[Everyone]: …Damn. That actually makes sense.

Just when everyone thought someone was about to be obliterated, a sudden system prompt caught them off guard!

[Ding! Congratulations to Konoha shinobi "Konoha Salted Fish" for answering correctly. Bonus: System Administrator status!]

[This quiz is now over. The next round will take place in a week—please participate actively!]

"?????"

For a moment, the entire screen froze before exploding with messages.

Senju Hashirama was stunned. Uchiha Madara was stunned. The Kage from the various villages were even more shocked, their disbelief turning into frustration.

They could hardly believe it—this guy actually became the strongest in the ninja world just like that! And to make matters worse, they had let the opportunity to befriend him slip away by foolishly dismissing him moments earlier.

Meanwhile, Terumi Mei was in complete shock. She had originally found him amusing and casually interacted with him, never expecting such an outrageous outcome.

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Ahem, Sister Terumi Mei, Sister Tsunade—thanks for earlier! If you ever need anything, just let me know!

Kaito words snapped everyone back to reality, and both Terumi Mei and Tsunade quickly responded.

[Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei]: Oh, this? Just a little effort, don't worry about it!

[Tsunade]: Well, you are a Konoha ninja—how could I just stand by and watch you suffer? But judging by your strength, it doesn't seem like you need my protection, huh? Haha!

[Senju Tobirama]: I never expected that someone from Konoha could be stronger than my elder brother and Madara. But why do you choose to hide your name?

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Because I don't want to be bothered every day. If this system hadn't appeared, I would have been living a peaceful, uneventful life!

[Konoha Salted Fish]: Of course, if Konoha is ever in danger, I won't just stand by and do nothing!

[Senju Hashirama]: Haha, that's a good mindset! Sometimes, living a quieter life isn't so bad.

[Sarutobi Hiruzen]: Cough… If you ever change your mind, I'd be happy to arrange a suitable position for you.

[Konoha Salted Fish]: No thanks, I have no interest in any official position!

Meanwhile, in the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara gazed at Kaito's messages in the group, a deep sense of unease creeping into his mind.

"This guy… he's dangerous. If I don't find a way to eliminate him, my plans will surely be ruined."

Closing his eyes, Madara began strategizing. He knew direct confrontation was out of the question—he had already witnessed the sheer power of the system.

"If the system itself recognizes him as the strongest in the ninja world… then there's no way I can defeat him in a head-on fight."
