The entire shinobi world erupted in laughter. As the live stream revealed Guy's infamous green bodysuit, everyone forgot their sudden transformation into women. Even their newly formed chests quivered from the sheer hilarity.
Just then, the System's emotionless voice chimed again.
System:"Question Two: Since Minato Namikaze failed to save Guy Jr., what fate befell him?"A. DeathB. Severe InjuryC. Unharmed
System:"This is a Quick Answer question. You have two attempts. Two incorrect answers will trigger a world-wide punishment!""Correct answer rewards Eight Gates Taijutsu ×1, redeemable for 1.5 million gold coins.""Quick Answer starts now. You have one minute."
Madara Uchiha chuckled."Ha! So that's your so-called Kai-Emperor?"
Guy Jr. fired back,"Father! He said you made me laugh to death!"
Ōnoki grunted,"Another world punishment again? Seriously?"
Might Guy shouted,"Boy, don't play games with fools. I literally opened the Eight Gates to kill myself!"
Fourth Raikage Darui snorted,"You think a little punishment scares me? I've already become a woman. What's next?"
Hashirama Senju blinked."So I also killed myself...?"
Rasa sighed."How joyous. We were all taken out by a suicidal kick..."
Kiba Inuzuka smirked."Heh. I only died because you four carried him. Otherwise, I'd still be alive."
Shizune whispered,"Can we please stop talking now?"
Tayuya muttered,"Hah... The Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, seven took the hit, four dropped..."
Might Guy shouted,"I had no idea you were so fragile! Had I known, I would've opened just the Seventh Gate. I wouldn't have died!"
Seven Swordsman (first):"Was that polite of you?"
Might Guy exploded,"You threaten my son and expect courtesy?"
Guy Jr. echoed,"Exactly! Father, strike him down!"
Seven Swordsman (first):"..."
System:"Quick Answer time has ended.""Danzo Shimura, Quick Answer successful. Please give your answer."
Hashirama Senju gasped."Oh damn, he answered fast!"
Tobirama Senju warned,"Danzo, this pool is deep. You can't just Quick Answer without thinking. You'll flip the entire game board."
Danzo Shimura scoffed."Teacher, rest assured. I'm confident. Obviously, Guy Jr. must be dead. I choose A."
Guy Jr. snapped,"What? You'd extinguish both hope and your own dignity?"
Kakashi Hatake nodded."Even if he's doomed, you shouldn't answer that so heartlessly."
Guy Jr. growled,"Kakashi's right! You'll face divine punishment!"
Danzo waved them off."Heh. Kids know nothing. I won't argue."
He was sure the reward would be his.
System:"Evaluating Danzo Shimura's answer: A""Incorrect. Penalty: lose one Mangekyō Sharingan."
Danzo roared."Impossible!"
Guy Jr. cheered,"Ha! That's karma!"
Darui laughed."First it was a single tomoe. Then a double. Next they'll rip out a three-tomoe?"
Rasa nodded."I knew it. He did have a Sharingan embedded."
Danzo Shimura:"..."
System:"Quick Answer continues.""Danzo Shimura, Quick Answer successful. Please answer again."
Ōnoki shouted,"Whoa! One-eyed dragon, don't stir up more chaos. We're all single-handed women now. What's next, a full-body penalty?"
Tobirama Senju mumbled,"I thought I didn't care after the gender swap. Now I'm terrified."
Hashirama Senju offered,"It's fine. If I need anything, I can just extend a Wood Clone to grab it."
Tobirama barked,"Shut up."
Hashirama pouted."Oh..."
Madara Uchiha smiled darkly."Danzo, choose B or C. If you get it wrong again, I will kill you. No joke."
Danzo grinned to himself. The Eight Gates technique was too precious. Only Guy and Rock Lee had ever mastered it. If he could learn it through this reward, why not take the risk?
Danzo Shimura:"Hmph. If he's not dead, then he must be gravely wounded. I choose B!"
Everyone held their breath. It seemed logical. No one could survive that unscathed.
System:"Evaluating Danzo Shimura's answer: B""Incorrect. Penalty: lose one Mangekyō Sharingan."
System:"Triggering global punishment due to two incorrect Quick Answers."
Danzo Shimura:"Damn it!"
Madara Uchiha scoffed."I guess you really did screw the neighbor's pig. Three options, two chances, and you still blew it?"
Rasa burst out laughing."His neighbor must be a sow. Eighty piglets from one litter!"
Hashirama Senju gasped."Danzo... boinks pigs?!"
Tobirama Senju groaned."Big brother, show some restraint. That's wildly inappropriate!"
Darui interjected."Danzo's got some... exotic tastes. By the way, anyone selling a spare Sharingan?"
Mei Terumi smirked."If we're talking trades, I'd like one too. Imagine Rock Lee with a Byakugan and Sharingan."
Rock Lee:"Yosh! Green machine Lee! Let's train, Guy-sensei!"
