Chapter 752: The Survivors Twenty Years After the Valley of the End Ended

The image in the sky over the Ninja World began to play, and everyone looked up to watch.

Even without any so‑called answer reward, they were very curious about the content the Heavenly Curtain painstakingly broadcast.

"Madara!"

"Hashirama!"

The image didn't appear, and two angry shouts rang out.

An earth‑shattering battle erupted.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama engaged in a fierce duel in the Valley of the End.

Warring States Time‑Space.

"Madara, why are we fighting?"

Hashirama looked at the content on the screen with a puzzled expression.

He could tell that the version of them on the screen was serious, not just a petty scuffle like now.

Madara said nothing.

In fact, he also didn't know what had happened.

The scene on the screen must be something from the future.

In the future, for some reason, their relationship had broken apart.

Unlike the Warring States Time‑Space, the later time‑spaces, after seeing the screen, could not suppress the excitement on their faces.

The battle between Hashirama and Madara!

Valley of the End!

They didn't expect that the Heavenly Curtain would show this.

That would mean it's a giveaway question!

Although they currently didn't know what question the Heavenly Curtain would ask, it should be inseparable from the Valley of the End.

Chunin Exam Venue.

Sasuke Uchiha stared at the Heavenly Curtain and clenched his fist.

If he could answer the question, would he then obtain great power?

Thus he could avenge that man!

"Sasuke, are you okay?"

Naruto Uzumaki noticed his companion's sullen expression and showed concern.

Unfortunately, the other person didn't respond.

Hokage Sarutobi Ri Zhan murmured softly, "Valley of the End, I wonder what the Heavenly Curtain's question will be?"

Orochimaru, playing the role of the Fourth Kazekage, sat beside him.

His attention was wholly drawn to the suddenly appearing Heavenly Curtain; as for the destruction of Konoha Village, that could be discussed later.

He was truly curious where the so‑called Heavenly Curtain originated.

What would the reward be for answering correctly?

The image on the Heavenly Curtain continued to play.

"Regardless, as long as the village is protected, the villagers, ninja, and children are safe."

Hashirama, wielding a Tachi, pierced Madara's chest from behind.

"Even if they are my friends, brothers, or children… anyone who threatens the village cannot be forgiven."

"You've changed, Hashirama."

Madara fell to the ground, powerless.

"It's a complete inversion; someday it will plunge the village into darkness."

The image on the Heavenly Curtain froze at that moment.

Warring States Time‑Space.

Yuzhibo Quannai's gaze toward Hashirama became dangerous.

This guy killed his brother in the future!

Simply unforgivable!

"Madara, Quannai." Hashirama's face showed panic, "Listen to my explanation; there must be a misunderstanding!"

Madara, expressionless, said, "Hashirama, the future you mentioned the village. We supposedly founded the village together, but eventually ideological differences led to mutual slaughter."

"It seems I can no longer found a village with you."

"Brother is right!" Yuzhibo Quannai shouted excitedly, "No matter what, the Uchiha can never found a village with the Senju!"

Even if the Uchiha were defeated, it is still unacceptable!

"Madara, the situation isn't as you imagine…"

Hashirama wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

In the image, he indeed killed Madara with his own hands, and the conversation suggested it was truly over the village.

"Enough," he said, "you don't need to say more."

Madara gave him no chance to explain and left the battlefield with the Uchiha.

Because the Heavenly Curtain appeared, the war had to cease.

Hashirama intended to stop it, but could only watch the Uchiha crowd depart.

"Big brother, it seems founding a village cannot resolve the conflict."

Feijian, deep in thought, spoke.

He had always opposed the idea of reconciliation between his big brother and the Uchiha, and now could use this chance to make him abandon the unrealistic notion.

【Video playback completed, now a question is presented; answer correctly and the reward is mastery of an S-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu, answer incorrectly with no penalty.】

Everyone is extremely eager for the reward S-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu; ordinary ninja can never reach such a powerful technique.

If one can answer correctly, they can obtain a powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu.

Even Jonin want it!

Video playback finished, and the system lifted the mute.

The chat channel instantly became lively.

They are all guessing the question that Heavenly Curtain will soon ask.

Even those uninterested in the reward have joined the discussion.

In most people's view, Heavenly Curtain is most likely to ask the reason for their split.

And this question, for those who are in the post‑timeline of the Valley of the End,

is nothing but a giveaway question!

"That kills my patience!"

Lian Ye watches the crowd discuss the question but cannot take part, and it's extremely frustrating.

There is a helpless feeling of having an opportunity snatched away.

Qianshou Feijian, seeing this, shakes his head helplessly: it's just an S-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu, isn't it?

I really wish I could get a copy when I learn it.

At this moment, Heavenly Curtain finally begins to ask.

【Please answer: ten years after the Valley of the End ends, the surviving individuals are:】

A Senju Hashirama, B Madara Uchiha, C Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha, D none.】

When Lian Ye sees the third option, a bad premonition suddenly arises in his mind.

He instinctively looks at the Qianshou Feijian beside him.

Hoping his worry is unnecessary.

Otherwise it would be troublesome…

Akatsuki.

Uchiha Obito looks up at the sky, the corner of his mouth under the mask slightly lifts.

"Interesting."

To ordinary ninja, ten years after the Valley of the End, Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha are both dead.

But only he knows that Madara didn't die back then!

The answer is indisputable, definitely B!

Although he isn't interested in the reward Fire Release Ninjutsu, the feeling of knowing the answer is truly satisfying!

【Now you have one minute to discuss.】

Senju Hashirama【Warring States】："Do you know the answer!?"

Yuanfei Rizhan【Third Hokage】："First Elder, you were gone only a few years after the Valley of the End ended, so the answer is D."

Yuanfei Rizhan's words indeed frightened most people.

Everyone thinks his statement is fine: Madara Uchiha was killed by Senju Hashirama, and Senju Hashirama died a few years later.

The answer naturally becomes D.

Uchiha Obito【Orange Mask】："Fool."

Kakashi Hatake："Obito, is that you? Obito!"

Naruto Uzumaki【Ninja World War】："Third Hokage, you're wrong. I'm the Naruto from a few years later; actually Madara Uchiha wasn't killed back then, he used the Uchiha Clan's secret technique to revive himself."

Qianshou Feijian【Impure Earth Reincarnation】："Indeed so."

Madara Uchiha【Impure Earth Reincarnation】："Tch, a boring game."

Yuanfei Rizhan's old face turns red upon seeing the news.

He truly didn't know about Madara's fake death.

Fortunately, future Naruto and the teacher warned in time; otherwise misleading others would have been disastrous.

His old face would definitely be ruined!

The crowd sees a future person spoiler, learning that Madara Uchiha hasn't died.

Everyone's face shows a happy smile.

This is literally a giveaway question!

Although Madara's fake death is surprising, it's good that a future person spoiler…

There is not a single difficulty!

It seems we can soon get the S-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu for free.

Just thinking about it is exciting…

The discussion time ends.

A transparent light screen appears before the crowd, showing four options A, B, C, D.

The overwhelming majority chose B.

As everyone waits for the system's reward, a cold electronic voice slowly sounds.

"Congratulations… your answer is wrong!"

Everyone: "???"

……
