"Shit, why did you make me come to this point in time?"

In a civilian house in Amegakure, Ryuji's face was full of displeasure.

It was now the 59th year in the shinobi world, and the young people would graduate soon.

As soon as they graduate, Orochimaru's Konoha destruction plan would begin.

Immediately after, the Kami -- Pain, who was now in Amegakure, would start the tailed beast capture plan.

At that time, Amegakure would become the enemy of the whole shinobi world.

How was a guy who didn't even have chakra going to survive the Fourth Shinobi War?

This was the shinobi world, where people died, and clans perished!

[Ding! The examination system is bound.]

'?'

When he heard the name of the system, Ryuji was confused.

'No way, I've crossed over to the Naruto world, and I still haven't escaped exams?'

It wasn't until Ryuji looked at the entire examination system that he realized that he was the one overthinking it.

This examination system wasn't for him to take exams, but to pull some people to the exam space and take the exam.

To ensure the fairness of the exam in space, the whole process of the exam would be broadcasted live.

There were five questions in each exam. Correctly answering three questions would mean a pass, and the higher the accuracy rate, the more generous the reward received.

On the contrary, if one failed the exam, the examinee would have to face severe punishment and take a make-up exam.

And to make-up, they would have to pay the make-up fee!

As the system owner, each time the test was taken, Ryuji could choose a part of the test questions. The system would randomly select the remaining ones from the question bank.

Likewise, he may receive a percentage of the candidate's award or make-up fees.

Knowing this, a glint of light flashed in Ryuji's eyes.

If he pulled Pain, Konan, and the others into the examination space and then assigned them some examination questions that would reveal the course of the future, then the shinobi world's future would definitely change.

Without the Eye of the Moon Plan, without Black Zetsu, Uchiha Madara, and others scheming, could the shinobi world enter the era of peace by then?

He could also reveal Akatsuki to everyone! Allowing everyone to improve!

And by the way, take the paper angel Konan home to warm his own nest. Wouldn't that be beautiful?

'Just do it!'

Ryuji opened the examination space, waiting for those who were selected to enter.

At the same time, in a building at the top of Amegakure.

Pain was in a wheelchair, with Konan standing behind him, looking calmly at the man who called himself Uchiha Madara.

Behind the latter stood a guy with a huge Venus-flytrap plant on his body.

These two were none other than Uchiha Obito and Zetsu.

At the moment, the two were pressuring Pain to execute the Eye of the Moon's tailed beast capture plan as soon as possible.

Therefore, they brought Kakuzu, Sasori, Uchiha Itachi into the organization as early as six months ago.

Now, Akatsuki had gathered all ten renegade shinobi besides Obito.

Ten Kage-level shinobis!

The current Akatsuki had an extremely frightening combat capability.

Therefore, Obito didn't want to wait.

He couldn't wait for ..that world with Rin to happen.

"I got word that Orochimaru is about to attack Konoha, and when that happens, we can take advantage of the chaos to invade Konoha and take the Kyūbi Jinchūriki away."

Zetsu's voice was somewhat eerie. The green leaves above his head swayed as he spoke.

Pain calmly looked at the duo. The Rinnegan's rings seemed incredibly strange.

But neither Obito nor Zetsu was a simple character.

They acted as if they couldn't feel the pressure Pain exerted on them.

Pain was just about to speak when a radiant light suddenly lit up among the crowd.

The light converged rapidly as the crowd watched, forming a massive and incomparable portal.

When the sudden portal appeared, Konan subconsciously stepped forward and stood in front of Pain.

Behind her, a pair of paper wings instantly opened, and the explosive tags were raised, ready to detonate at any time.

At the entrance of Amegakure, Pain, who was preparing to go on a mission with Itachi, suddenly stopped and turned his head and ran towards the top of Amegakure.

Uchiha Itachi looked at the back of Deva Path Pain, and his eyes flashed a different color.

After half a year's contact, Uchiha Itachi knew that the leader possessed the most mysterious and unpredictable, Rinnegan.

He called himself Kami as if nothing in the world could make his indifferent eyes fluctuate.

But just now, it was clear that something beyond his expectations had happened.

He left without saying a word.

And even...

Uchiha Itachi looked up. Somehow, the rain had stopped in Ame Village.

Uchiha Itachi pondered for a moment. His two hands, under the black robes with red clouds, each made a seal. Two different jutsu were activated at the same time.

'Clone Technique! '

'Transformation Technique! '

On the surface, Uchiha Itachi disappeared.

But in fact, his true self had gone after Deva Path Pain.

As the clone was left in his place, he left leisurely.

At the same time, in Amegakure, five hidden figures opened their eyes at the same time and woke up from a deep sleep.

They share the same Rinnegan and short black sticks for transmitting chakra stuck in their bodies.

They were the other 'Paths of Pain', outside of Deva Path.

The five figures rose up simultaneously, chakra raging around their bodies, racing towards the Amegakure above.

"Someone invaded?"

In Amegakure, the other members of Akatsuki felt the surge of chakra and immediately ran towards where it was converging.

As the figures flew in, they stood in front of Nagato and Konan as if they were enemies.

Deva Path aimed his hands at the light portal, ready to unleash God's Realm technique at any time to repel the incoming attackers.

Ashura Path was prepared, his wrists were bent, and a series of missiles appeared, ready to shoot at any time.

The Human Path's hands were in the shape of claws, waiting for the incoming attackers. As long as the other party appeared, he would be the first to kill the other party in seconds, extracting the other party's soul and memory.

And the Animal Path, Preta Path, and Naraka Path were surrounding both sides of Pain and Konan, paying close attention to anything that moved.

At this moment, Pain could no longer care about hiding his real body and ability; he stared at the light portal with deadly eyes.

He could hardly imagine that there was someone who could silently perform a jutsu on them all in the entire shinobi world.

And it worked!

'How is this possible?'

'Did the Sage of the Six Paths do this?'

To be precise, in addition to him having the Rinnegan, there was also Uchiha Madara with Mangekyō Sharingan here!

The Uchiha Madara!

The once Shura of the shinobi world!

On the other hand, Uchiha Obito, who was posing as Uchiha Madara, was seen by other Akatsuki members who arrived before he could hide.

"A new member?"

"Another Sharingan?"

As soon as Deidara came in, he saw Uchiha Obito and his one eye, outside of the mask, and suddenly felt displeased.

He joined Akatsuki and was caught by Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan.

His hatred for those eyes was as strong as Orochimaru's longing for them.

"Madara?"

Unlike Deidara, Uchiha Itachi was pulled into Akatsuki by Obito, and therefore, Uchiha Itachi always thought that Obito was Madara.

After all, the other party had helped him destroy his clan, and the only person with that kind of strength, in his knowledge, was Madara.

At that moment, seeing Madara here surprised him.

'Didn't he say he wasn't joining Akatsuki?'

'Could it be that the leaders got into a dispute?'

But compared to this, the disabled man who was being kept behind by the leader was the object of his greatest concern.

'To be protected by the leader...'

His importance was self-evident.

Uchiha Itachi's heart stirred. He fanned his wings and landed on the beams of the building, watching below.

"The jutsu user isn't within a hundred-mile radius."

Zetsu, who had disappeared at some point, burst out of the ground. His voice was filled with seriousness.

He lived for thousands of years, living through the entire history and rise and fall of the shinobi world. He had never seen such a peculiar technique.

He mobilized tens of thousands of White Zetsu and checked all the chakra fluctuations within a hundred-mile radius but still couldn't find the wielder.

This showed that either the wielder was more than a hundred miles away or …

This was an existence beyond their common sense!

For some reason, the moment Zetsu saw the light portal, he had the feeling that his thousands of years of preparation were about to be ruined.

"Hmph, with so many people, do we have to be afraid of this thing?"

Kakuzu grunted coldly, and a tentacled creature with a ghost mask emerged from his back and walked towards the portal.

Swoosh!

A blinding white light flashed. In the next moment, everyone realized that they had arrived in a pure white space.
