Crossover Anime: Transmigrated as Sasuke, but Must Start from Prince of Tennis

"The Q&A game is officially starting. I'm going to randomly draw a number now. The person whose number is drawn cannot say anything other than the answer, otherwise it will be considered an incorrect answer."

Ashura ignored Darui's question and directly announced the start, then a transparent wall appeared in front of him.

Seven photos appeared on the wall, which were then rearranged to form a circle, followed by a pointer in the center of the circle.

Whoever the pointer points to is the one who should answer the question.

After the first round of bidding, Nara Shikaku won the bid.

"Konoha's pineapple-headed one, come out and answer the question: Who is the most important person to you? Please answer!"

Ashura looked at Nara Shikaku and asked a question that left everyone completely baffled.

"The most important people to me are my wife and son, now and in the future."

Nara Shikaku didn't think too much about it, because he had never hidden this question from himself.

"That concludes the answer session. Next question."

Ashura didn't say whether his answer was right or wrong, but simply kept turning the wheel.

Next up is the bandaged man from Sunagakure. Ashura asked him if he was loyal to the Kazekage, and he replied that he was loyal to Sunagakure.

The answer is correct, let's move on to the next one.

After a few questions that were a bit odd but still relatively easy to answer, Sarutobi Asuma was chosen this time.

"The son of the Hokage of Konoha, come forward and answer the question: When your father presided over the massacre of the Uchiha clan, how much did you know? Please answer!"

Ashura's question made everyone else involuntarily take a step back.

Everyone understood at that moment.

What's with the question-and-answer format? The real purpose is right here!

See? They wiped out the Uchiha clan, and now their survivors are coming to take the life of the Hokage's son.

You can tell just by the way they address people: Sand Village Bandaged Man, Konoha Pineapple Head, Cloud Village Sick Man...

In comparison, they don't care who the other people are at all.

"My father did not oversee the destruction of the Uchiha clan. It was Itachi Uchiha who wiped out the Uchiha clan; he was a traitor to your Uchiha clan..."

Sarutobi Asuma was completely bewildered; how could he possibly know what had happened back then?

He had been in the Land of Fire for a long time and only returned to Konoha in the last two years, so naturally he knew what others were saying.

But after his answer, a punishment that had never been used before suddenly appeared, severing Sarutobi Asuma's arms.

The silent attack, the severed arms falling to the ground—only then did they realize that something truly terrible was about to happen here.

"Wrong answer, play the real answer!"

Ashura's cold voice rang out.

At the same time, a scene appeared on the glass wall in front of these people.

The scene is set at Sarutobi's house, where Hiruzen Sarutobi is talking to Asuma Sarutobi, who has just returned.

In the conversation room, Sarutobi Asuma asked about the Uchiha clan.

At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi's answer was completely honest.

'Asuma, now that you're back in the village, you should start learning about these things. The destruction of the Uchiha clan was inevitable. We merely facilitated and witnessed this moment, but it has nothing to do with us. The Uchiha clan was destroyed by their successor as clan head...'

The conversation in the video continues, and Sarutobi Asuma's expression is even more terrified than when his arm was cut off.

"Don't worry, there's more."

The scene changes, showing Asuma receiving a mission from Hiruzen Sarutobi, and going to a location to exchange information with Itachi Uchiha.

Although Asuma didn't get to see Itachi Uchiha, he knew perfectly well that Itachi had actually been working as a spy for the Akatsuki organization all along.

Of course, this was just an arrangement made by Konoha; in reality, Itachi Uchiha didn't send any information back at all.

"Lying will be punished. Since you answered incorrectly, the Hokage's son will answer the next question. Don't get it wrong this time, or I'll cut off your legs."

Ashura tapped his finger on the transparent wall, and the image disappeared. He looked at Sarutobi Asuma and moved on to the next question.

This time, he's going to cut off the legs of this Hokage's son, he absolutely will!

Chapter 284 Nara Shikaku's Choice

"Question: Regarding the incident where the Third Hokage destroyed the Senju clan upon assuming power in Konoha, as the Hokage's son, how much do you know about it? Please answer!"

Ashura finished asking his question and laughed before Sarutobi Asuma could answer.

The annihilation of the Uchiha clan isn't that shocking, since intelligent people can deduce some of the information after the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

But destroying the Senju clan is a different story.

The current first and second generations are both members of the Senju clan, but after the second generation, the Senju clan quickly disappeared. Regardless of the legends, it is undeniable that there are problems involved.

"You are slandering me. Father did not lay a hand on the Senju clan. They are the first and second generation families. Who would dare to lay a hand on the Senju clan!"

Sarutobi Asuma was already roaring.

Whether he lives or dies is no longer important. Now that things have come to this, he probably can't escape it.

But if this gets out, not only his father, but the entire family will be destroyed!

Konoha was originally created jointly by the Senju and Uchiha clans.

Now that his father has taken power and wiped out two clans, it will cause other clans in Konoha to stop supporting the Sarutobi clan...

"Wrong answer, let's see the real answer."

Ashura smiled and raised his hand, and the transparent wall once again transformed into a large screen.

Still at Sarutobi's house, Hiruzen Sarutobi had a gloomy expression, and an ANBU member was kneeling in front of him.

The report from the secret service concerned the death of Kato Dan.

The scene shifts to another member of the ANBU reporting on the death of Senju Nawaki.

Then the scene changes again, back to the same room, where Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are facing off, arguing about Kato Dan, Senju Nawaki, and Tsunade's future.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, do I need to explain what you've done? Since you've already done all that, and everyone's dead, what are you pretending to be ignorant for? We did things that betrayed our teacher for Konoha, but we did it all for Konoha. What are you afraid to admit in front of me?!"

This was Danzo Shimura's roar, followed by Hiruzen Sarutobi's silence.

Finally, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said something.

'What the teacher wants is for Konoha to prosper and endure; we are not wrong...'

In short, the matter is settled.

After Shimura Danzo left in a huff, Sarutobi Hiruzen also left the room. In a secluded corner of the room, Sarutobi Asuma, still a child, walked out with a pale face.

After Sarutobi Asuma reached the required level of strength, he left Konoha and became one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.

"The Hokage's son, you left Konoha and the wonderful life of the Hokage's second son because you were heartbroken over this incident. Now you say that everything has nothing to do with Hiruzen Sarutobi. Lying will be punished. No one can save you or your Sarutobi clan!"

Ashura's voice reappeared, and the scene disappeared, leaving only Sarutobi Asuma's legs severed, the son of the Konoha Hokage lying on the ground with only his torso remaining.

What exactly do you want to do?

Nara Shikaku felt a chill run through him, not because he knew those secrets, but because he was certain he wouldn't be able to explain himself back in the village.

The Hokage had two sons; one had already died, leaving only his grandson Konohamaru. Now, it's clear that the second son is also unlikely to return alive...

Under such circumstances, even without the revelation of those secrets, the Nara clan would still face suppression from the Konoha leadership.

"Nara Shikaku, you're a smart man. Now, answer this question: Is complete destruction better, or is it better to give up some things in order to save your family and the most important people in your life?"

Ashura's voice rang in Nara Shikaku's ears.

"I..."

Nara Shikaku wanted to say that he would not betray Konoha, but when he looked up and around, he suddenly realized that no one else seemed to have heard him.

Ashura, as if he hadn't said anything, simply continued to stare at Sarutobi Asuma, his blood-red Sharingan eyes filled with madness.

"Let him go, he can't die..."

Nara Shikaku didn't have time to think about that now; he only knew that if he didn't make a statement soon, he wouldn't be able to back down.

"Your Nara clan has existed for quite a long time. Shikamaru is a pretty good guy. You should think about the next generation. Is a Konoha that's about to be destroyed worth the sacrifice of your clans?"

This time, the voice appeared beside Nara Shikaku again, but it was no longer Ashura's voice.

"Uchiha..."

Turning around, Nara Shikaku looked at the boy in front of him. He wasn't much taller than his son, and his distinctive hair made it easy for Nara to recognize him at a glance, even with the mask covering his face.

However, he knew but didn't say anything.

"They can't hear you. In their eyes, you're holding the Third Hokage's son and trying to save him."

Sasuke walked up to Nara Shikaku, and the blood-red mask disappeared in his smile, revealing his identity as Uchiha Sasuke.

"Sasuke, what exactly are you trying to do? My...our family just wants to live peacefully in Konoha and protect things outside of Konoha. We've never been involved in anything outside of Konoha."

Nara Shikaku looked at the familiar little face in front of him and sat down on the ground.

He did know something about it, but there was no way he could get involved or stop it.

Given the current situation, he fears that Sasuke intends to lead the Nara clan in rebellion, something that would truly bring destruction to the clan.

"I know, if you didn't know these things, you'd be just like him now... Don't doubt it, you should know that Sharingan users possess special abilities, and my Mangekyou Sharingan can see through everyone's memories, and even replicate what I see for others to enjoy, just like just now..."

A single blood-red tear slid down Sasuke's cheek, a sign of overuse of his Sharingan.

But he ignored all of that and continued to watch Nara Shikaku, waiting for this man, who was said to be the smartest in Konoha, to make a statement.

"How is Yamanaka Inoichi doing?"

Nara Shikaku suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh and gave up struggling.

However, he still had to worry about his old friend's safety.

"He said he'd listen to you. I really envy your relationship; you can give each other the utmost trust and reliance."

Sasuke smiled; he was quite satisfied with the outcome.

Konoha will disappear, but the Ino-Shika-Cho trio can be brought to Otogakure.
