[Uchiha Madara: Humph, good luck!]
Finally, it was Uchiha Madara's turn for a reward.
At this point, Uchiha Madara was eagerly anticipating it.
Soon, two reward items appeared in the live broadcast room.
The first reward was a spell.
[Low-level weapon charm: Can be applied to a weapon, permanently increasing the weapon's effect by 30%. Note: The effect is weak on weapons above the artifact level, and there's no effect on weapons beyond the artifact level.)
The second reward was a card.
[Question and answer card: A random question is generated in the live broadcast room, and the cardholder answers it. If the answer is correct, amazing rewards await. If incorrect, there is no reward.]
[Fourth Raikage: Another question and answer card, a big gamble. Uchiha Madara shouldn't choose it!]
[Senju Hashirama: Low-level weapon charms are useless to him; he's currently in a soul state, residing in the pure land world without weapons. What use does he have for weapon charms? If given to Uchiha Obito, he could use it on the Gunbai. But if he gives it to Uchiha Obito, Obito might betray him in the future!]
[Kakashi: Uchiha Madara could choose the question and answer card; perhaps he'll get it right!)
[Senju Tobirama: If he answers incorrectly on the question and answer card, there's no reward, but there's also no punishment. It doesn't matter what he chooses. However, I naturally hope he chooses the question and answer card and answers incorrectly. Currently, there's a high probability of getting the question and answer card wrong, except for Yasao.
[Fourth Raikage: Yes, Nagato got it right, but he also paid the price of two wrong answers and suffered heavy losses.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Brother, choose the question and answer card and give it a try. After all, low-level weapon charms are useless to you!)]
[Uchiha Madara: Well, I'll opt for the question and answer card as well. The weapon charm is truly worthless to me. If I happen to get the resurrection item, that's acceptable!)
And so, Uchiha Madara selected the question and answer card.
Immediately afterward, he employed the question and answer card.
Hum!
A screen materialized in the live broadcast room.
Numerous ninjas beheld this familiar image—it was Konoha.
[Uzumaki Naruto: Does this question have any connection to Konoha?]
[Tsunade: It seems that the Konoha in the picture is under attack. Not like in the past, but somewhat like the future!]
[Jiraiya: Indeed, it appears to be the future. I spotted Ichiraku Ramen; the shop seems to be renovated, not the previous Ichiraku Ramen shop!]
Boom!
Konoha in the image came under attack, and a multitude of summoned beasts surged forth.
Then, a pair of images flickered, including the figure of Six Paths Pain.
[Hanzō of the Salamander: It's that guy Nagato's Six Paths Pain. Nagato must be the one who attacked Konoha.]
[Jiraiya: @Nagato, why did you attack Konoha?]
[Nagato: Teacher Jiraiya, this is the future. I have no comment!]
In truth, Nagato had a rough idea why he had attacked Konoha; it must be to capture the Nine Tails since Naruto had not yet appeared. For his final plan, capturing Naruto was a necessity.
Perhaps it was after this battle that he would be defeated by Naruto?
Of course, he resolved not to heed Naruto's words in the future; that would alter the future, wouldn't it?
[Hidan: Are you trying to figure out who attacked Konoha this time?]
[Kakuzu: Hidan, you're insane. It can't be that straightforward.)
[Nagato: It's definitely not a simple matter. It's a complimentary gift!]
Shortly after, the scene shifted to Tsunade's figure and a toad.
[Toad Kosuke: It's me! I'm here!)
[Gamabunta: Kosuke, your appearance isn't necessarily a good thing!]
In the scene, Tsunade instructed Toad Kosuke to inform Naruto at Mount Myōboku so that Naruto could return and repel the invading enemy.
Subsequently,
Tsunade led the group in resisting the enemy.
And just as Toad Kosuke was about to return to Mount Myōboku, a knife suddenly struck. The blade gleamed, and Toad Kosuke was instantly slain.
[Toad Kosuke:????)
[Gamabunta: What the heck, I guessed right!)
[Toad Kosuke: Boss, I want to go back. Can I? Let's switch toads. I'm afraid of death!
[Tsunade: Kosuke was killed. Who did it?]
[Fourth Raikage: It must be a high-ranking official in Konoha. After all, there aren't many people qualified to enter the Hokage's office at this time.]
[Third Tsuchikage: I cannot say for certain. After all, Konoha was under attack, and all the ninjas sought assistance. How could someone focus on the Hokage's office? Someone managed to sneak in. When Tsunade and the others left, they swiftly killed Kosuke Toad. It's understandable too!]
At this point, the scene paused, leaving everyone uncertain about the identity of the mysterious man.
[Excuse me, who killed Kosuke and prevented Naruto from returning in time?]
