Chapter 172: The Tailed Beasts Escape!
Chapter 172: The Tailed Beasts Escape!
Shortly after, the reward for the eighth place on the Slaughter List appeared, belonging to the Eight-Tails, Gyūki.
Two reward items appeared on the screen.
The first was a card.
[Tenfold Power Card: After use, one's strength will increase tenfold for a short time, but it places a heavy burden on the body. Use with caution!]
The second reward was a talent.
[Adamantine Body: One of the intermediate talents. Upon activation, the entire body becomes incredibly tough, and strength increases greatly.]
[Fourth Raikage: The Tenfold Power Card is great! Once used, strength increases tenfold, which can turn the tide of battle at a critical moment. But it's a pity that it only boosts strength temporarily. If it could permanently enhance power, that would be perfect!]
[Tsunade: Permanent strength increase? That wouldn't be a reward for eighth place on the Slaughter List! Even the first place wouldn't get something that could boost strength tenfold permanently!]
[Kurama: Gyūki's reward is pretty good!]
[Eight-Tails: Hahaha, I'm very satisfied with the Adamantine Body! If I use it with my massive body, my combat power will become absolutely terrifying.]
[Killer Bee: Gyūki, go with the Adamantine Body. It's way better than the one-time-use Tenfold Power Card!]
[Eight-Tails: Yes, I'll choose the Adamantine Body.]
Immediately, Gyūki chose the Adamantine Body as his reward. Soon, the Eight-Tails gained the intermediate talent Adamantine Body.
A little while later, the reward for the ninth place on the Slaughter List was announced. This reward belonged to the White Snake Sage.
At this moment, the White Snake Sage was both excited and expectant.
Buzz!
Two reward items appeared on the screen.
The first was a Fourth-Rank Golden Pill.
[Fourth-Rank Golden Pill: One of the immortal pills, it greatly enhances Senjutsu chakra, refines the physique, adds 300 years to one's lifespan, and also has healing properties.]
The second reward was a battle garment.
[Slaughter Battle Garment: Absorbs the aura of slaughter during battle. The more one slaughters, the more the garment grows in strength.]
It must be said that the Slaughter Battle Garment was a valuable treasure as well, but the White Snake Sage had no interest in it. She preferred the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill.
Thus, the White Snake Sage chose and consumed the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill, starting the refining process.
Not long after, the reward for the tenth place on the Slaughter List was announced. This reward belonged to Shukaku, the One-Tail.
Soon, two reward items appeared on the screen.
The first was a talisman.
[Void Shift Talisman: Allows the user and selected targets to be transferred to another location, bypassing seals and other restrictive methods.]
The second reward was a fruit.
[Starfruit: Greatly refines the body and enhances control over magnetic forces.]
Both rewards were excellent, but Shukaku quickly made up his mind.
[Four-Tails: Shukaku, choose the Void Shift Talisman! That way, we can use it to escape and free ourselves from the Ten-Tails' shell.]
[Six-Tails: Yeah, Shukaku, whether we can escape or not depends on you! Now that Uchiha Madara controls the Gedo Statue, he won't let us go.]
[Shukaku: Hmm, but the Starfruit is good too; it can boost my strength. If I choose the Void Shift Talisman, you guys better make up for my loss!]
[Two-Tails: Hmph, Shukaku, do you really not want to escape? If you want to get out of here, you have to choose the Void Shift Talisman. What loss are you talking about? You're just trying to squeeze us!]
[Shukaku: Well, just say whether or not you'll make up for my loss. Watch out, or I won't choose the Void Shift Talisman!]
[Two-Tails: Fine! We'll give you some of the rewards from the future Slaughter List updates. How about that?]
[Shukaku: Deal!]
Afterward, Shukaku selected the Void Shift Talisman.
Inside the Gedo Statue, Shukaku and the other Tailed Beasts gathered, ready to use the Void Shift Talisman to escape.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara activated the Gedo Statue to stop them.
However, the power of the Void Shift Talisman was beyond what Madara could counter.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the Tailed Beasts were enveloped by the power of the Void Shift Talisman and silently vanished from the Gedo Statue.
"They actually managed to escape!" Madara said helplessly.
Somewhere in the Shinobi World, several Tailed Beasts appeared.
Seeing that he was free again, Shukaku exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha! Finally out! But we better be careful from now on and avoid getting captured again."
"Yeah, we definitely need to be cautious. This isn't our era anymore. Too many powerful beings can capture us now, so it's best to keep a low profile."
Afterward, the Tailed Beasts went their separate ways, most planning to hide. Shukaku, however, intended to return to Sunagakure and follow Gaara.
A little while later, the reward for the eleventh place on the Slaughter List was announced.
This time, the reward belonged to Tobirama Senju.
Soon, two reward items appeared on the screen.
The first was a Fourth-Rank Golden Pill.
[Fourth-Rank Golden Pill: One of the immortal pills, it greatly enhances Senjutsu chakra, refines the physique, adds 300 years to one's lifespan, and also has healing properties.]
The second reward was a vial of azure liquid.
[Evergreen Essence: Extends lifespan by 400 years and can heal hidden injuries.]
[Hashirama Senju: Tobirama, your luck is pretty good, getting the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill for ranking eleventh on the Slaughter List!]
[Tsunade: The Evergreen Essence is also great, giving 400 extra years and healing injuries.]
[Kakashi: In terms of boosting strength, the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill is superior!]
[Tobirama Senju: I prefer the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill. If I refine it, my strength will greatly increase, maybe even reaching the Six Paths level.]
[Hashirama Senju: Then go for the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill!]
Without hesitation, Tobirama selected the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill and extracted it.
Afterward, Tobirama returned to the Senju clan's residence to begin refining the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill. Once fully refined, his strength would likely reach the Six Paths level.
In a short time, the reward for the fourteenth place on the Slaughter List was announced.
This spot belonged to Minato Namikaze.
At this moment, Minato eagerly awaited his reward, and Naruto and the others watched the Golden List Livestream Room with wide eyes, hoping to see what Minato would get.
