"I'll take the Vibranium puppet!"
Sasori of the Red Sand declared.
*Hum!*
A Vibranium Puppet descended before him. Instantly, he delved into its intricacies within the Pure Land Realm. The loneliness in his heart began to dissipate as he immersed himself in its flawless craftsmanship.
"For beauty..."
"The Vibranium Puppet, it's quite something!" Yasao murmured.
Had he not achieved the Immortal Dao rank, perhaps he'd still be intrigued by Vibranium puppets. However, now, a Vibranium puppet was just that, lacking significant value.
Soon, the seventh position on the list of handsome men was revealed.
The reward belonged to Uchiha Itachi!
Two items gradually materialized on the screen.
The first was a heart-shaped gem.
[Heart of Life: Can be integrated into the heart, bestowing tremendous recovery speed and vitality, indirectly granting an undead body. The Heart of Life simplifies mastery of various healing magics, grants the ability to give life to others, restore vitality, and even create new life. Caution: Granting life will deplete your vitality, use sparingly!]
The second was an elixir.
[Eternal Youth Elixir: Consuming grants perpetual youth and extends lifespan by hundreds of years!]
Both the Heart of Life and Eternal Youth Elixir, previously unrevealed rewards, were undoubtedly valuable.
"Itachi, you've hit the jackpot this time! With either of these, your future health is assured! Especially the Eternal Youth Elixir, extending your life by centuries!" Kisame couldn't help but envy.
Naturally, the Heart of Life was equally impressive, offering rapid recovery and the potential for an undead body.
Once fused, the Heart of Life could counteract the side effects of Mangekyō Sharingan, enabling Itachi to wield it repeatedly without consequences.
On the other side,
Uchiha Sasuke felt a pang of jealousy seeing Itachi's rewards, knowing they were both highly beneficial.
"Why does this individual always seem to have such remarkable luck?" Sasuke remarked with a cold tone.
Before long, Uchiha Itachi made a decision.
Itachi directly selected the Heart of Life. However, rather than consuming it outright, he seemed to swallow it down, sealing it within his body without utilizing its power.
Hoshigaki Kisame, unaware of the details, assumed that Itachi had indeed integrated the Heart of Life.
[Sasori: Congratulations, you have obtained the Heart of Life!]
[Kakuzu: Itachi has acquired the Heart of Life. Although his strength hasn't increased significantly, his endurance in battle has improved! Furthermore, he can repeatedly activate the Mangekyō Sharingan without suffering its usual consequences, which is formidable!]
[Nagato: Congratulations!]
[Konan: Congratulations on your success!]
Following Uchiha Itachi, it was Senju Hashirama's turn.
Shortly after, the reward for eighth place was unveiled, presenting two items on the screen.
The first item was a Devil Fruit.
[Buddha Fruit: Belonging to the Mythical Zoan type, it manifests as a colossal Buddha. Upon activation, it transforms into a massive Buddha statue capable of unleashing incredibly potent attacks, including supercharged golden lasers...]
The second item was the Heart of the Tree of Life.
[Life Tree Heart: Releases a potent life force capable of healing any injury, mastering the power of Wood Style, enhancing Wood Style abilities, and indirectly bestowing an immortal body...]
[Senju Hashirama: Haha, my luck truly knows no bounds! These are all exceptional treasures!]
[Tsunade: But, Grandfather, you're already deceased. Otherwise, would you have chosen the Heart of the Tree of Life for me?]
Tsunade dared not request the Buddha Fruit, knowing well the risks associated with consuming multiple Devil Fruits, which could lead to fatal consequences.
[Senju Hashirama: Tsunade, my dear granddaughter, everyone else reveres their grandfather, yet you persistently pilfer my treasures!]
[Tsunade: Are you giving it to me, Grandfather?]
[Senju Hashirama: Of course, my dear. After all, you are my beloved granddaughter!]
Subsequently, Senju Hashirama opted for the Heart of the Tree of Life.
There were several methods to transfer the Heart of the Tree of Life to Tsunade. One option was to offer it at auction, although this risked losing it to other bidders. Another possibility was to exchange rewards with a lower-ranked Konoha Shinobi and then compensate them, ensuring fairness. Additionally, Impure World Reincarnation was a viable alternative, though currently unused within Konoha.
Given the circumstances, Tsunade persuaded Senju Hashirama to pursue the second option, proposing an exchange with Sarutobi Asuma.
In this scenario, Senju Hashirama would claim Asuma's reward and provide Tsunade with the compensation, minimizing any potential loss.
Finally, it was Madara Uchiha's turn.
"I hope my reward is as impressive as Hashirama's," Uchiha Madara muttered.
Soon, the live broadcast displayed two rewards.
The first was an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Useless," Uchiha Madara dismissed it disdainfully, having no need for another Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
The second reward was a Rank Three Golden Pill.
[Senju Hashirama: Madara, your reward is commendable, but the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan holds little value for you. As for the Rank Three Golden Pill, while decent, it pales in comparison to the Rank Four and Rank FIve versions. Considering your ninth-place ranking, this Third-Rank Golden Pill is merely average!]
[Uchiha Madara: The Rank Three Golden Pill is still beneficial. It can enhance my strength. If I am resurrected in the future, it might enable me to attain combat prowess at the level of the Six Paths!]
[Senju Hashirama: Perhaps resurrection isn't as certain as you believe. The future is unpredictable, after all.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Big Brother will undoubtedly be resurrected!]
Shortly thereafter, Uchiha Madara retrieved the Rank Three Golden Pill from the live stream.
