The third question:

When there is an enemy ninja directly in front of you and another to your left, how should you throw your shuriken to hit both accurately?

What angle and force should you use to inflict the greatest possible damage on the enemy?

Makoto Ito stared at the question with a blank expression. What kind of bullshit question is this? I need to calculate angles and force? Isn't it enough if I can throw them? Isn't it enough if I can kill the enemy? Why do I have to calculate the angle and force?

Madara Uchiha: What kind of bullshit question is this? Are ninjas these days learning this stuff? They need to calculate angles and force? This is fucking ridiculous! Who cares about angles and force? Isn't it enough if I can take down the enemy?

Tobirama Senju: Tch! After all that talk, you still can't solve the question, can you?

Madara Uchiha: Like you can? If you can, then solve it!

Tobirama Senju: I never said I could! The question really is a bit ridiculous!

Madara Uchiha: If you can't solve it, why are you yapping? Does anyone in the group know how? Let me see how this question is solved.

Minato Namikaze: Ahem... You should use this formula... plug it in, then assume the enemy ninja is A... throw the shuriken at this angle... and set the force to X... that gives you the correct answer...

Makoto Ito: Damn, as expected of you, Fourth Hokage!

Minato Namikaze: Did you understand that?

Makoto Ito: Not at all! But it doesn't matter! I've already written down the answer anyway!

Hizashi Hyuga: As expected of the Fourth Hokage! He was a top student back in school!

Madara Uchiha: What's the point? No wonder ninjas these days get worse with every generation. So they've all been studying this useless stuff!

And so, Makoto Ito continued working through the questions one by one, while Minato Namikaze in the group frantically guided him...

The other big shots in the group also came to understand just how terrifying this test paper was, because it seemed they did not know the correct answers either!

Then came an even more interesting question!

Who was Konoha's strongest Hokage since the village's founding?

A. Hiruzen Sarutobi

B. Third Hokage

C. Teacher of the Three Ninja

D. Ninja Hero

So this question only had one option: Hiruzen Sarutobi, right?

No matter which option you chose, wasn't the answer Hiruzen Sarutobi?

The big shots in the group saw the question as well!

Madara Uchiha: Damn, that really is shameless!

Hashirama Senju: Why isn't there an option for me? Aren't I the strongest Hokage?

Minato Namikaze: This...

Tobirama Senju: Damn Hiruzen Sarutobi! That bastard! What kind of questions did he come up with? Is this what the Ninja Academy teaches now? He actually had the nerve to call himself the strongest Hokage? Where did he get the gall?

Fugaku Uchiha: This is where he was clever! Isn't it just brainwashing? The key is making it everywhere! The students at the Ninja Academy probably only know the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi! They probably don't even know who the First Hokage was!

Once again, Tobirama Senju experienced the sheer audacity of his fine disciple!

Wasn't this just praising himself?

How did he have the nerve to call himself the strongest Hokage?

And the most outrageous part was that all four answers were him! In other words, no matter which option the Ninja Academy students chose, the strongest Hokage was Hiruzen Sarutobi!

At that moment, Tobirama Senju once again felt the urge to strangle his fine disciple to death!

Thinking of what had happened to his clan, thinking of Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions, and looking at these damned questions he had set now!

Tobirama Senju truly wanted to scatter his ashes to the wind!

Makoto Ito casually wrote an E on the paper.

Madara Uchiha: Kid, did you write the wrong answer? There isn't an E option for this question!

Makoto Ito: I know. I wrote it that way on purpose!

Madara Uchiha: Good kid. You've got character. I like it!

Tobirama Senju: I have to say, I support writing it that way too!

Then Makoto Ito looked at the next question.

"When you are surrounded by one hundred ninjas from hostile ninja villages, what should you do?"

Madara Uchiha: Isn't that simple? Obviously, kill them all!

Tobirama Senju: Indeed!

Minato Namikaze: I would first use the Flying Thunder God Technique, then follow with a Rasengan, then use Flying Thunder God Stage Two, then another Rasengan Lion Roar Light Wheel Third Style!

Tobirama Senju: What kind of technique is that?

Minato Namikaze: It's the Flying Thunder God Technique combined with the Rasengan...

Tobirama Senju: Uh...

Hashirama Senju: As for me, I would directly use Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!

Hizashi Hyuga: As expected of a group of big shots! The first thing I thought of was how to escape!

Fugaku Uchiha: Don't say that. Actually, I thought the same...

After listening to the big shots in the group, Makoto Ito confidently wrote four large words on the test paper: Kill them all!!!

Makoto Ito felt there could not possibly be anything wrong with that answer, right? He was already surrounded by hostile ninjas. It couldn't be surrender or escape, could it? Of course he had to kill them all!

Surrender was definitely wrong. As for running away, why should he run? If he could kill them all, why would he run?

So Makoto Ito directly wrote: Kill them all!

Then Makoto Ito opened the next box. The final question...

"A brief discussion of the Third Hokage's Will of Fire... Minimum requirement: no fewer than ten thousand words!"

??????

Ten thousand words?????

Madara Uchiha: Damn, just damn! Is there something wrong with this Hiruzen Sarutobi guy?

Izuna Uchiha: There definitely is, and it seems like he's seriously ill!!!

Hashirama Senju: This... What kind of Will of Fire could possibly take ten thousand words to explain?

Tobirama Senju: I really... Right now, I wish I could travel back several decades, find my former self, and tell him to hurry up and strangle Hiruzen Sarutobi to death!

Minato Namikaze: The requirement is ten thousand words now? I remember ours was five thousand words!

Tobirama Senju: Damn, Fourth Hokage, you're still the most incredible!

Minato Namikaze: Actually, it was pretty simple! As long as you listened carefully to the Third Hokage's speeches, writing them down would basically get you full marks!

Tobirama Senju: ...
