Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Ever since Ye Chen insta-killed Uchiha Itachi in their sparring session last time,
Ye Chen's status in the Ninja Academy rose sharply.
His classmates and teachers no longer liked him just because he was gentle and sociable.
Instead, they began to value him because of the power and potential he displayed.
Even Uchiha Fugaku secretly visited the Ninja Academy once because his eldest son had suffered a crushing defeat at Ye Chen's hands.
Ye Chen didn't care about the attention from the outside world at all.
Because he knew that as long as the system existed, he could continue to grow stronger—stronger than they could ever imagine!
Even if he encountered danger, he could hide inside the Quiz Space.
Inside the Quiz Space, Ye Chen was an invincible existence!
On the other hand, although Uchiha Itachi was somewhat dazed and at a loss after losing so easily to Ye Chen,
and felt guilty because of his father Uchiha Fugaku's disappointed gaze,
he didn't change his attitude toward Ye Chen because of it; he even became willing to train with him.
The little genius of the Uchiha Clan had the heart of a powerhouse that refused to admit defeat.
He also had the rationality to not feel jealous just because someone was stronger than him... In the Hokage Office, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was waiting with Nara Shikaku, Kakashi Hatake, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Utatane Koharu, and the returned Jiraiya and Tsunade.
After the last quiz, Minato Namikaze, after careful consideration, still told the secret to Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others.
He also urged Jiraiya and Tsunade to return to the Village quickly in the letters he sent them.
Once they returned to Konoha Village, he laid everything out for them.
Naturally, except for the three—Minato Namikaze and his companions—who had experienced it personally,
the others subconsciously thought the three of them had been deceived by genjutsu and even wanted to find a Ninja from the Yamanaka Clan to check their memories.
It wasn't until Minato Namikaze solemnly guaranteed the authenticity of what he had seen with his own eyes that the others became half-believing.
They finally decided to come and see this so-called Quiz Space together; seeing is believing.
"Why hasn't it come yet? Didn't they say it was this time three months ago?"
"Could that guy be tricking you? Telling you to come back after three months while he hides at home and sleeps."
The white-haired Jiraiya leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, yawning out of boredom until tears came to his eyes.
"Shut up, Jiraiya! Just wait properly."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Jiraiya and turned to ask Kakashi Hatake, who was standing by Minato Namikaze's side:
"Hatake kid, how's your hand?"
Since being urged to return to the Village last time, Tsunade had performed surgery on Kakashi Hatake, reattaching his arm and reconnecting all the nerves, allowing his arm to be fully preserved.
After this period of rest and recovery, Kakashi Hatake's arm had finally returned to exactly how it was before.
A grateful smile appeared on his face as he nodded and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Lady Tsunade. It's already healed."
Swish!
While they were chatting, a dazzling ball of light suddenly appeared.
Then, the blue light burst open and spread in all directions.
In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, it formed a circular barrier that enveloped them.
"Is this the Quiz Space you were talking about?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi instinctively touched the blue barrier surrounding them and exclaimed:
"It really is miraculous."
"What attribute is this barrier? How can I not tell at all?"
Jiraiya looked it up and down carelessly, rubbing his chin with his hand as he asked with a puzzled face.
"An idiot like you obviously wouldn't be able to tell anything."
Seeing Jiraiya's foolish look, Tsunade couldn't help but jab at him.
Jiraiya scratched his head and didn't dare talk back, laughing awkwardly.
At that moment, an indifferent voice rang out:
"Welcome back to the Quiz Space."
Suddenly, it went dark, and then a speck of golden light flashed.
Then the golden light grew from small to large, turning into a giant light screen that completely covered one wall of the office.
It was still the familiar palace; Ye Chen was already sitting there, quietly watching them.
It was worth mentioning that the disguise the system had placed on Ye Chen was perfect, without a single flaw.
Even those present as strong as the 'ninja hero' Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 'Toad Sage' Jiraiya, and 'Tsunade-hime'.
could not see anything amiss.
The three of them glanced at each other, all feeling that the aura Ye Chen exuded was mysterious and powerful.
Unlike those seeing Ye Chen for the first time,
Minato Namikaze, Nara Shikaku, and Kakashi Hatake, who had experienced a quiz before, all bowed slightly with great respect and said:
"Greetings, Your Excellency (Lord)."
Minato Namikaze was the one who addressed him as 'Your Excellency'; after all, he was the Hokage, and there weren't many people in the entire Ninja World he would call 'Lord'.
As for Nara Shikaku and Kakashi Hatake, they both subconsciously regarded Ye Chen as an incredibly powerful senior Ninja, so their attitude was naturally very respectful.
Seeing these three take the initiative to salute,
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and the others had no choice but to follow suit, nodding and greeting Ye Chen.
On the surface, he was as calm as an ancient well, but inside, Ye Chen felt a surge of satisfaction from a successful display of dominance.
Look at this, just look at this!
The Third Hokage! The Hokage Advisor! The Toad Sage! The Konoha Princess!
They all have to bow their heads to me!
Regarding Minato Namikaze taking it upon himself to bring five people—including Hiruzen Sarutobi, who hadn't participated in the first quiz—into the Quiz Space,
Ye Chen made no comment, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, the more people involved, the more obvious the effect of changing the plot would be.
Since the system didn't object, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't speak up either.
With a slight smile, Ye Chen waved his hand calmly and said:
"No need for such formalities!"
"Since this is our second meeting, I won't explain too much; if there's anything you don't understand, ask them."
By "them," he meant the three—Minato Namikaze and his companions—who had experienced a quiz before.
After saying that, Ye Chen gave a grand wave of his hand.
Countless spots of light condensed on the screen, coming together to form three sets of text familiar to Minato Namikaze and the others.
[character ranking list]
[Faction List]
[event list]
"The same rules as before: choose a character, faction, or event from the three lists to conduct the quiz."
Ye Chen said flatly.
Minato Namikaze nodded slightly and carefully examined the three lists.
Last time, because he was too astonished, Minato Namikaze hadn't studied these lists too closely.
Now that the Quiz Space had proven its authenticity, the value represented by these three lists became increasingly prominent!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Utatane Koharu, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, seeing the three lists for the first time, widened their eyes and observed the lists in wonder.
Although they had heard about it from Minato Namikaze and the others, seeing it in person still felt incredibly miraculous.
Three small lists actually encompassed the entire Ninja World!?
