NARUTO: EXPOSED BY THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SYSTEM

Shocked! Even Uchiha Madara Can't Do It?

Upon hearing the system prompt, Uchiha Madara let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had not been exposed!

However, he quickly realized something—if his answer was incorrect, did that mean there was someone even stronger than him?

"How is that possible??"

Within the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara's eyes snapped open in shock. His expression hardened as he processed the information. But he quickly calmed himself.

The system had stated that if an answer was wrong three times, a random person would be obliterated—but it would also reveal the correct answer.

"Fine," Madara thought. "Once I know who it is, I'll figure out how to deal with them."

Meanwhile, Kaito also felt a growing sense of unease. If the truth were exposed, wouldn't he be harassed endlessly?

[Uchiha Madara]: Hmph, the old man said it—there's no way it's me. Back then, I fought that Hashirama brat, and I lost. How could I be considered the strongest in the ninja world?

[Senju Tobirama]: That's strange… If it's not Madara, then who else could it be? And the system said it's someone from Konoha?

[Third Raikage]: Could it be that after our time, someone even stronger appeared in Konoha?

[Fourth Raikage]: Impossible, Father. As far as I know, the strongest ninja from Konoha after you is the Third Hokage.

[Sarutobi Hiruzen]: Ahem—now, now, the system mentioned "the strongest." It doesn't necessarily mean raw power. But let's not forget, I was honored as "the strongest Hokage" in history, hehe!

[Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki]: Pfft—I'm dying of laughter! Life is dull, but hearing nonsense like this is truly entertaining.

[Sarutobi Hiruzen]: Hmph! Ohnoki, what exactly are you implying?!

[Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki]: Heh, are you seriously claiming that the strongest Hokage came from Konoha?

[Fourth Raikage, A]: Hah! The strongest Hokage? Sarutobi Hiruzen? Don't make me laugh!

[Fourth Kazekage, Rasa]: The one who boasts the most is the strongest now? Who actually believes that?

[Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi]: Honestly, I don't buy it. The strongest Hokage? Him?

[Namikaze Minato]: Ahem... The Third Hokage was indeed strong. It's not unreasonable for people to call him that.

[Konoha Citizen]: Of course! It's written in textbooks—Hiruzen Sarutobi is the strongest Hokage!

[Random Ninja]: ??? In the textbook?

[Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama]: Sigh... Monkey, you truly have no shame.

Tobirama, always sharp, immediately realized the implications of the "textbook claim."

[Third Raikage]: Textbooks? Did you print those yourself? Hahaha! I'm dying here!

[Uchiha Madara]: Oh? In terms of shamelessness, I, Uchiha Madara, am willing to call you the strongest!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, now the target of ridicule from multiple Kage-level figures, was starting to feel embarrassed.

[Sarutobi Hiruzen]: Who was speaking just now?

[Mei Terumi]: Pfft! What, getting defensive now? Who else could it be? Obviously one of your own from Konoha.

Hearing Mei Terumi's words, the group turned their attention to the speaker. Sure enough, the chat group interface displayed a Konoha emblem next to the name.

This was one of the chat group's features—it identified each member's village affiliation.

[Fourth Kazekage, Rasa]: Heh, looks like we've got confirmation. This is the first time I've seen such shameless propaganda!

[Fourth Raikage, A]: My stomach hurts from laughing! You mean to tell me the textbooks claim Hokage is the strongest?

[Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki]: Hiruzen, you're playing a small game here.

[Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi]: I bet it's just a way to brainwash Konoha's kids from an early age.

[Sarutobi Hiruzen]: Don't slander me! I had nothing to do with that!

[Konoha Citizen]: Exactly! How can you insult the Third Hokage? The title of "Strongest Hokage" is recognized by the whole village! Do you not believe me?

Everyone was a little puzzled about what this person wanted them to see. Then, a picture suddenly appeared on the public screen.

The image was something Sarutobi Hiruzen recognized instantly—it was a test paper from the Ninja Academy exam. The question on it read:

"Who is the strongest Hokage of all generations?"

A: Sarutobi Hiruzen

B: The Third Hokage

C: The Professor of Ninjutsu

Upon seeing this, several Kage reacted immediately.

[Fourth Raikage, A]: Hah! This is the strongest Hokage?

[Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki]: Unbelievable! Truly astonishing! I'm in awe... absolutely in awe!

[Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi]: Well, this is certainly an eye-opener. So this is the so-called strongest Hokage?

[Uchiha Madara]: Tch... What an absolute disgrace to Konoha…

Sarutobi Hiruzen, staring at the test paper, felt the corner of his mouth twitch. I swear, I didn't have anything to do with this!

Sure, he knew there were always people in Konoha who liked to flatter him, but he had usually chosen to turn a blind eye to it.

He never expected to be publicly humiliated like this. Damn it, this is just too much!

And as for the person who exposed him? If I find out who they are, they're in for a world of trouble!

Meanwhile, Kaito was lying on his bed, clutching his stomach as he laughed uncontrollably.

That's right—[A Konoha Salted Fish] was none other than Kaito's online alias!
