Chapter 126.1 : Heavenly Wood!
Golden List Live Room.
[Fourth Raikage: The Hyuga Clan is fortunate to have acquired the practice method of Haki. Can you share it with us as well? We are willing to pay a handsome sum for it!
[Hyuga Clan: Ahem, this technique is now the secret knowledge of our Hyuga Clan and will not be shared with outsiders.
[Hidan: While I possess Conqueror's Haki, it was bestowed upon me directly, and I lack the knowledge of its practice.
[Uchiha Obito: Haki bestowed in the arena requires personal contemplation and may not match the efficacy of the Hyuga clan's practice method.
[Terumi Mei: Mastering Haki is no simple task. It takes years of dedication to rival the powerhouses of the Pirate World. Short-term gains won't significantly enhance the Hyuga Clan's strength.
[Hyuga Clan: True, immediate benefits may not be apparent, but with persistent practice, our clan's strength will soar. That's sufficient for us.
Hyuga Clan.
Hyuga Hiashi and the clan elders secured their reward—the Haki practice method.
Before long.
They delved into the intricacies of Haki practice, becoming increasingly engrossed.
As time passed,
The rewards for the power lists were announced and distributed.
Next, it was Root's turn.
Danzo eagerly anticipated his reward. If it suited him, it could drastically bolster his strength and alter his current situation.
At last, the Root organization's rewards were unveiled.
Hum!!!
A reward item materialized on the live broadcast room's screen.
"The Sands of Time!"
[Sand of Time: These treasures, imbued with temporal power, can create a time-distorted area within a 300-meter radius. Within this time-altered zone, time moves five times faster during practice sessions."
[Tsunade: So, it's a time-related treasure, akin to Yasao's Tears of Time and Space, though not as potent!
[Fourth Raikage: While not on par with Tears of Time and Space, it's still quite valuable. With a 300-meter coverage, it can accommodate numerous individuals. Constructing a large high-rise structure and partitioning it into smaller chambers would suffice for collective training needs!
[Terumi Mei: Practicing five times faster is a significant advantage! It's indeed a valuable asset for any faction!
[Fourth Hokage: Truly remarkable!
[Tsunade: Danzo, if you're willing to contribute the Sands of Time to Konoha rather than keeping it for personal use, I can reconsider your position. What do you say?
[Danzo: Tsunade, I appreciate the offer, but I find the Sands of Time quite appealing as they are!"]
At the current moment, Danzo, though not entirely satisfied, recognizes the immense value of the Sands of Time and Space.
These sands afford him the opportunity to privately train a group of teenagers, enhancing their abilities significantly within a year.
Additionally, with the option to extend this time by five years, these youths can mature swiftly, while the core strength of the Root organization under his command gains ample time for rigorous practice.
Such measures ensure the rapid growth of the Root organization's power, eventually surpassing other factions within Konoha.
Reluctant to relinquish control over the Sands of Time and Space, Tsunade finds herself at an impasse.
Despite her status as the Fifth Hokage, there are matters beyond her jurisdiction. This reward was garnered collectively by the major factions, and she lacks the authority to intervene. To contest such decisions would only sow dissent among Konoha's ranks.
Soon, the rewards for the Nara clan are unveiled.
Displayed on the screen is a unique reward—a mystical tree.
[Shadow Tree: Enhances the mastery of shadow and darkness manipulation techniques.]
[Nara Shikaku: This reward suits our Nara clan perfectly.]
[Nara Shikamaru: Haha, with this Shadow Tree, our clan's prowess will soar. I quite fancy this reward!]
[Yamanaka Inoichi: Congratulations to the Nara clan!]
[Akimichi Choji: Congratulations! Here's hoping our Akimichi clan secures a treasure equally fitting for us!]
Shortly thereafter, the nineteenth-ranked reward is presented to the Taka Squad.
Whoosh!
On the screen materializes a mysterious item—Thunder Source!
[Thunder Source: Enhances physical attributes and can be integrated into individuals for substantial enhancement]
Upon seeing this reward, Sasuke remarks, "A rather fine reward."
Promptly, he claims the Thunder Source.
"Sasuke, you should consider practicing with this Thunder source first; there's no rush," advises Suigetsu.
"Got it."
Sasuke, in urgent need of strength to confront Itachi, wastes no time integrating the Thunder Source into his body.
Whoosh!
The potent energy of the Thunder Source begins its relentless work, refining Sasuke's physique and even augmenting the demonic power within him to a certain extent.
"Remarkable results," Sasuke acknowledges to himself.
Next in line for rewards are the Akimichi clan members.
Akimichi Choji and Akimichi Choza await their prize with anticipation.
Soon, a peculiar item appears on the screen—a Blood Body Pool!
[Blood Body Pool: A pool infused with the blood of mighty creatures, greatly enhancing physical attributes]
[Akimichi Choza: This reward is excellent. Our Akimichi clan relies heavily on physical prowess. Strengthening our bodies enhances the efficacy of our Expansion Jutsu. With sufficient enhancement, even our Super Expansion Jutsu can be unleashed effortlessly!]
[ Akimichi Chōji: Dad, this reward is amazing! The Akimichi clan is on the verge of a great ascent!]
[ Yamanaka Inoichi: Congratulations to the Akimichi clan!]
[ Nara Shikaku: Congratulations, Choza!]
[ Tsunade: Congratulations, well done!!]
In the heart of the Akimichi clan's domain, a congregation of robust figures from the clan gathered, selecting a prime spot and commencing the extraction of the blood pool.
"Extract it!" they exclaimed in unison.
Hum!
The blood pond was drawn forth, countless beams of light enveloping the area, and in the next moment, a massive blood pool manifested in its place.
Then, the radiance faded, revealing a vast reservoir of blood.
Simultaneously, a parchment fell to the ground, detailing the nature of the blood body pool and its composition.
Akamichi Choza examined it closely. "Even when the blood in the pool is depleted, we can replenish it by hunting the blood of formidable Summoning beasts. This ensures a continuous benefit. We shall never allow this pool to run dry!"
Without hesitation, the Akimichi clan members one by one immersed themselves in the blood pool.
As they entered, an inexplicable force caused the blood within the pool to infuse into their bodies, vigorously tempering them.
"Ah!"
Excruciating pain surged through many of the clan members, prompting them to flee the pool, yet a few, like Akamichi Choza, and Akimichi Chōji, persisted.
They understood that endurance was key to enhancing their strength. Fear of pain had no place in their pursuit of mastery.
After a while, the rewards for the Senju clan were revealed.
This time, the Senju clan acquired a sacred tree – Heavenly wood!
This rare wood enhanced Wood Style techniques, potentially awakening the dormant power of Wood Style. Even without mastery of Wood Style, it expedited Chakra training and offered moderate healing capabilities.
For instance, when held in the mouth, Heavenly wood could channel wood energy to mend injuries and prevent exacerbation in critical moments.
The value of Heavenly wood was thus considerable.
"Yes, this reward suits me well, though it's unfortunate it's not suitable for the rest of the Senju clan," Tsunade lamented.
Indeed, with few ninjas in the Senju clan and Tsunade being the sole wielder of Wood Style, the reward held limited significance.
Following this, Tsunade extracted the dandelion wood and relocated it to the Senju clan's quarters.
