In Tatsukaze’s eyes, unless your combat power was heaven-defying to the point of becoming an Elite Jonin or a Kage-level powerhouse, having a shrewd and clever mind was far more important in the Anbu.
Think about it: how many Anbu members were treated like absolute fodder by all sorts of protagonists?
They would swarm in like flies, only to be slapped out of the air and crushed to death with a single strike.
Although killing the protagonist was your mission, could you not just charge in head-on like a brain-dead retard?
As a standard villain, if you didn’t even possess the basic IQ required of a villain, you absolutely deserved to get completely rekt!
Consequently, the written exam for the Anbu entrance assessment went something like this:
Question 1: There was a girl who was the target of a Konoha Anbu threat.
She slept alone at night, with only an enemy ninja guarding her company.
In the middle of the night, she suddenly heard a dripping sound coming from the ceiling.
To ease her fear, she reached her hand out to the side of the bed and let the enemy ninja touch her hand, which finally allowed her to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, the girl found the enemy ninja’s corpse hanging from the ceiling.
According to the autopsy, he was killed in the middle of the night.
But wasn’t the enemy ninja still there when her hand was touched?
Please explain what happened.
Question 2: There was a family consisting of a mother and two daughters.
The mother died, and the two sisters attended her funeral.
At the funeral, the younger sister met a very handsome Konoha Anbu and instantly fell in love with him.
However, after the funeral, the Konoha Anbu vanished, and the younger sister couldn’t find him no matter how hard she searched.
A month later, the younger sister murdered her older sister.
Why did she do it?
Question 3: A prince and a princess were escaping from a castle.
When they reached the exit, a Konoha Anbu appeared and said, “White is the direct opposite of the black that symbolizes the Anbu.
Therefore, the princess wearing the white dress cannot pass.
She must die right here!” Saying this, the Anbu pulled out a dagger.
In the end, the prince died, but the princess escaped.
Why?
There was a total of ten similar psychopathic questions, each worth ten points.
“What the fuck!
What kind of bullshit questions are these?!”
Almost the exact moment they saw these questions, even the highly trained elite ninjas wailed in despair.
Howls of misery filled the room, and a profound feeling of getting totally fucked by a dog washed over their entire bodies.
“Silence!” Tatsukaze shouted coldly.
An invisible killing intent flooded the room, and the surrounding air instantly froze solid. Get faster updates on g.com.
“Anyone who cannot answer these questions correctly can get the fuck out right now!”
Tatsukaze violently stood up.
Smack!
He slammed his palm against the desk with a deafening crash.
“You’re not strong, yet you refuse to use your fucking brains?
If you want to die, don’t drag down the reputation of the boss who selected you for the Anbu!”
Tatsukaze glared around the room with the sharp eyes of a hawk.
A dazzling, icy glint shone in his eyes, radiating a bone-chilling killing intent—a murderous aura that had drunk the blood of countless victims!
Every single Anbu candidate trembled involuntarily.
The heavy pressure weighing on their hearts grew even more suffocating.
Even some of the Genin, who had been specially selected to be nurtured as potential talents, found their legs shaking uncontrollably.
Of course, among the Anbu candidates, there were also elites among elites.
Although Tatsukaze’s killing intent was incredibly dense, for those Elite Jonin, while highly uncomfortable, it wasn’t enough to scare them out of their wits.
Several men made a motion to stand up.
It was obvious they had heard Tatsukaze’s remark about them “not being strong” and wanted to violently object.
Among them were one Elite Jonin, three Jonin, and a completely arrogant, clueless Chunin who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.
However, Tatsukaze beat them to the punch, delivering the following words:
“Naturally, if you feel your strength is vastly superior to the rest, you may also choose an alternative exam.”
“What kind of exam?” the overly audacious Chunin asked carelessly.
Tatsukaze’s eyes inevitably fell upon him, his voice devoid of a single ripple of emotion.
“You are Mei Inuzuka from the Inuzuka clan, correct?”
“Yes, I am…” Hearing this, Mei Inuzuka revealed a look of joy, actually believing his own fame had somehow reached Tatsukaze’s ears.
‘As expected, I am a completely unique, one-of-a-kind genius!’
He rejoiced internally.
Just as he was about to try and suck up to the Commander, he was mercilessly interrupted by Tatsukaze’s icy voice.
“I know you.
You’re the garbage trash of the Inuzuka clan,” Tatsukaze’s voice was freezing cold.
“You can’t even accurately assess your own situation.
What use does the Anbu have for a ninja like you?”
Suddenly, Tatsukaze let out a long howl.
A majestic, terrifying aura erupted into the sky, releasing a vicious killing intent.
He struck out with his palm through the empty air. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
A thunderous burst of lightning chakra exploded with a crack, blasting across a distance of dozens of paces straight toward Mei Inuzuka.
The electrical current was unimaginably violent.
Under Tatsukaze’s sudden assault, even the Elite Jonin standing right next to the target didn’t have the time to intervene.
Rumble~!
Lightning flashed and sparked, resembling a doomsday storm!
Mei Inuzuka’s body was instantly penetrated by the lightning.
Sizzling loudly, he collapsed heavily to the ground, filling the air with the stomach-churning scent of cooked human flesh.
‘He actually killed someone without a moment of hesitation!’
A genuine, deep-seated chill rose from the bottom of almost every examinee’s heart.
Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads, and their hearts pounded wildly against their ribs.
Even Danzo felt a piercing, bone-deep coldness.
Because if Tatsukaze could execute an Inuzuka clansman without a shred of hesitation right now, he could just as easily execute him too!
“Remember to report this to Lord Hokage later,” Tatsukaze chuckled softly.
It was unclear whether he was talking to a specific person or addressing the entire room.
“Due to his inability to overcome the overly strict examination, Mei Inuzuka died on the spot!”
After delivering this statement that utterly horrified all the candidates, Tatsukaze paused for a moment before saying with a smile:
“The alternative exam is—survive a fight against me!”
“This, is the ab-so-lute best way to prove your strength!”
Danzo’s entire body tensed up rigidly.
A bead of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, tracing past his neck and over his chest…
Tatsukaze’s extreme domineering nature made Danzo feel absolute dread, terror, fear, and bone-chilling cowardice straight to his core!
The other candidates didn’t dare to harbor even the slightest thought of resistance.
Especially those who were eager to object just moments ago—they practically plastered themselves to their desks, their faces deathly pale.
An indescribable terror spread from the very depths of their souls throughout their entire bodies, as if their spirits had detached from their physical forms and plummeted into a bottomless abyss.
“Are there any more volunteers for the special exam?” Tatsukaze’s gaze swept across the room.
Wherever he looked, not a single person dared to keep their head raised.
“Since there are none, go back to answering your papers!”
Hearing Tatsukaze’s words, almost every single candidate taking the exam had the exact same thought echo in their minds simultaneously:
‘Psychopathic exam questions combined with a psychopathic examiner…
this entire exam is fucking bullshit!’
‘Mommy, I really want to go home!’
