Chapter 25: Hashirama Senju! Be a Human Being, Will You!
[System Message]
[Konoha Forum – Ninja World Power Ranking: #15 Ōnoki]
Ōnoki: Expected.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: Why do I feel so uncomfortable about this?
First Tsuchikage: Not bad!
Deidara: Old man Ōnoki is still this agile at his age!
Ōnoki: You ungrateful brat! Get back here!
Deidara: Tch!
Mei Terumi: Can you two ever change your script? You always say the same thing!
Kakashi Hatake: Even when the Five Kage teamed up, Uchiha Madara defeated us with ease.
Kakashi Hatake: But the First Hokage managed to defeat Madara several times. So, it makes sense that he and Madara are at the top.
Kakashi Hatake: What I'm curious about is who came in third, right below them!
Young Sasuke Uchiha: It's obviously me! Haven't you seen how strong I become in the future?
Deidara: You looked pathetic even fighting the Raikage. Still acting cool?
Fourth Raikage: What do you mean by "even fighting the Raikage"?!
Ōnoki: He means you're not that impressive.
Fourth Raikage: Am I really that weak?
Madara Uchiha: Hah. You think you're strong?
Fourth Raikage: You're the boss. Whatever you say...
Young Sasuke: Hmph! Frogs in a well.
Fourth Raikage: What did you say, brat?! Want to feel my wrath ahead of time?

Young Sasuke: What's with this small talk?
[Minato Namikaze:] Calm down. Don't take a child's words so seriously.
[Minato Namikaze:] If you're that upset, see me at the Chunin Exams in six days.
[Fourth Raikage:] I'll be waiting!
[System Message:]
Ōnoki's strength is well known. No need to waste more time.
Ōnoki's reward: Ninjutsu power x10!
Ōnoki: ?
Third Raikage: Hahaha, finally Ōnoki gets a taste of this!
Ōnoki: At least I made it on the list, unlike some people!
Third Raikage: ...

[Buzz-in Begins!]
Congratulations: Uchiha Madara buzzed in first!
Killer Bee: These answers just keep getting weirder.
Kakashi: It's probably between B and C.
Kakashi: If Madara gets it wrong, we'll know it's the other one.
Hashirama Senju: A is obviously wrong—it's too balanced.
Madara Uchiha: I pick C!
System: Incorrect! All fire-style jutsu revoked!
[Next Buzz-in Begins!]
Congratulations: Shimura Danzo buzzed in next!
Ōnoki: Danzo's hand speed is ridiculous!
Madara: Damn it!
Hashirama: It's okay, Madara! You don't really need fire-style jutsu anyway. Plus, you're already dead!
Madara: Shut up, Hashirama!
Ōnoki: What a shame. Danzo got the points.
Shikamaru Nara: Not necessarily...
Tsunade: What do you mean, Shikamaru?
Shikamaru: Based on how the system usually works, the weirdest answer is often the right one.
System: Noted! Will adjust format next time!
Danzo: I choose D!
System: Incorrect! All wind-style jutsu revoked!
Ōnoki: Hahaha! Speed means nothing without accuracy.
Danzo: Kakashi! I'll get you next time!
Kakashi: ...
Shikamaru: Now it's just about speed.
Kakashi: Sharingan, activate!
Obito Uchiha: Rinnegan, activate!
Might Guy: Eight Gates Release—Seventh Gate: Shock Gate!
Nagato: Rinnegan, activate!
Madara: Rinnegan, activate!
Hashirama: You guys are going overboard!
Hashirama: Sage Mode, activate!
Hashirama: Sage Art – Wood Style: True Thousand Hands!
Tobirama: Seriously?
Madara: ...
Mei Terumi: My mental image of the God of Shinobi is collapsing...
[Buzz-in Begins Again!]
Congratulations: Hashirama Senju buzzed in first!
Hashirama: I choose A!
Shikamaru: ?
Madara: ?
All of Shinobi World: ?
Tobirama: Big Brother!!!
Madara: As expected of Hashirama!
Hashirama: What? Didn't Shikamaru say the weirdest answer is usually correct?
Madara: How'd you decide A was the weirdest?
Hashirama: The Nine-Tails obviously has more chakra than the others, right?
Madara: And?
Hashirama: That makes A the weirdest one!
Madara: You absolute clown.
Hashirama: What? Is something wrong?
Tobirama: Just shut up, Big Brother! You're embarrassing us!
[System:] Hashirama Senju's answer is incorrect!
As punishment, all genjutsu revoked!
Hashirama: Doesn't matter! I don't use genjutsu anyway!
Kakashi: How many jutsu do you still have?
Hashirama: I'll let you guys keep two.
Madara: Hashirama, BE A HUMAN BEING!

[System Message:] The Great Shinobi Speed Battle begins now!
[Buzz-in Begins!]
Congratulations: Kakashi Hatake buzzed in!
System: Kakashi, what's your answer?
Kakashi: Definitely B!
Reward: Chakra capacity x5!
Kakashi: Finally, no more chakra issues!
Kakashi uploads a photo of himself with his Mangekyō Sharingan activated.
Kakashi: Obito! See this? Looks good, right?
Obito: Are you insane?
Izuna Uchiha: How can a non-Uchiha without Hashirama cells awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?
Rin Nohara: When I transplanted Obito's eye into Kakashi, it had two tomoe...
Izuna: That's called a "comma" mark! Or "tomoe." Jeez.
Rin: Sorry, I didn't know!
Kushina Uzumaki: Why are you yelling so loudly? Calm down, will you?
Obito: Madara! Keep your brother in check!
Madara: Are you lecturing me now? Do you even know what you're saying?
Obito: Think clearly!
Madara: Hmph. Very well.
Ōnoki: Did... did Madara just back down?
Hashirama: Fourth Hokage, your student is incredible!
Minato: Obito...
Fugaku Uchiha: Kakashi did have two tomoe, then got three after a while. But the Mangekyō? That part's unclear.
Kakashi: I only recently discovered I had the Mangekyō. Must've awakened at the same time as the third tomoe.
Uchiha Elder: Impossible!
Kakashi: Rin died right in front of me... I lost control, blacked out, and woke up with three tomoe.
Kakashi: I bet the same happened to you, Obito.
Kakashi: You were there, weren't you?
Rin: Obito...
Rin: So it was all because of me...
Obito: No, Rin! It's not your fault. It's the world that's wrong!
Minato: Obito, it's not too late to come back!
Obito: Sensei, I can't. You don't know what I've done...
Minato: I know. I know everything.
Minato: But everything can be fixed! See? Even I've been resurrected thanks to the System.
Minato: Kushina and Naruto will come back too!
Obito: Resurrection...
Kushina: That's right, Obito. When I return, I'll ask Tsunade to fix your body.
Obito looked up at Minato and Kushina's words in the sky, eyes full of tears. With trembling lips, he whispered:
"Sensei... Kushina... Even if you all forgive me, I can't forgive myself!"
"I will create a world where Rin, Sensei, Kushina, Naruto, and Kakashi can live together!"
