Chapter 69.1 : Great Witch's Blood!

Amidst the eager anticipation of the audience, the reward for securing the top spot on the Eye Technique List was revealed during the live broadcast.

Since Yasao had been a frequent ranker on the list, he was entitled to choose one of the two rewards.

The tension grew as two items materialized on screen, one after the other.

The first item was a luscious peach, its bright red color and dripping juice making it appear like an enormous peach just waiting to be devoured.

[Millennium Peach: Consuming one can extend one's lifespan by Ten Thousand Years and significantly enhance Chakra.]

The second item was a single drop of blood essence. Though minuscule, it seemed to resemble an entire sea of blood.

[A drop of purified blood from the Great Witch: Can greatly improve physical fitness.]

The appearance of these two items on the live broadcast incited a heated debate among the spectators.

[Third Tsuchikage: What exactly is the essence and blood of the Great Witch? I'm not sure, but this Millennium Peach is truly remarkable. Just one can add Ten Thousand Years to your life. If it were me, I'd unquestionably pick the peach!]

[Fourth Raikage: Why does this peach seem even better than the Thousand-Year Dragon Yuan? The Thousand-Year Dragon Yuan is also a reward for topping the Taijutsu list, but it only extends life by a thousand years!]

[Third Hokage: It's not quite a fair comparison. The Thousand-Year Dragon Yuan's primary effect is to enhance one's body, which is essential. The main role of the Peach is to extend life, and the boost in Chakra is secondary. It can't help with body tempering! So, it's tricky to say which has more value - the Millennium Peach or the Thousand-Year Dragon Yuan.]

[Terumi Mei: Indeed, the Peach might not be highly valuable for some, like Ōtsutsuki Kaguya or those who can rely on special methods to live indefinitely. For them, adding more years might not be a top priority!]

[Orochimaru: Yes, the Peach may seem of little value to certain individuals. I can change bodies repeatedly and potentially live for a long time. Yet, if I came across a Millennium Peach, I would still partake. After all, it's quite a hassle to change bodies, and I can't predict how long I'll live.]

[White Snake Sage: As for me, I'd go for the Great Witch's blood. Who knows how long I'll last? If I'm not strong enough, living longer won't help, and I'll still meet my end. The Great Witch's blood should enhance my strength significantly, and with greater strength, there's a chance to make onto even more lists.]

[Great Toad Sage: I'm not inclined to engage in conflicts, so I'd prefer the Millennium Peach. Extending life by Ten Thousand Years is appealing, and living for over Ten Thousand Years is quite an appealing prospect!]

[Uchiha Madara: Life itself might be meaningless; strength is everything. If you have the strength to overpower anyone, even if your time is running out, you can always find ways to extend it. As long as you are willing to make certain compromises and confront challenges, you can even resurrect yourself and be immortal with ninjutsu like Impure World Reincarnation. Therefore, treasures that enhance strength hold greater value!]

[Senju Hashirama: I favor longevity. With a longer life, I wouldn't have exhausted my life force and met my end. However, based on Yasao's previous choices, he'd probably go for the Great Witch's blood.]

[ Kakashi: Lord First Hokage is right. I also think Yasao will opt for the Great Witch's blood!]

"Master, which item do you intend to choose?" Kumoko asked with curiosity.

Yasao contemplated for a moment and replied, "While the Millennium Peach is undoubtedly tempting, I have various means to extend my lifespan. Even though the ninja world imposes limits on human lifespans, I possess numerous ways to break free from these constraints, so the value of the Millennium Peach is relatively low for me. Regarding enhancing my Chakra, I already possess an abundance of Chakra in my body, and I don't need further improvement. Even if it were to improve significantly, the increase in strength would be marginal. Therefore, I choose the Great Witch's blood."

"Master, what is the Great Witch's blood?" Kumoko inquired once more.

Yasao smiled and explained, "The Great Witch hails from a different world, one of immense power, far superior to the ninja world. Many items in the Golden List originate from such otherworldly places. The Great Witch's strength is so astounding that she could obliterate the entire ninja world with a single hand."

"Destroy the ninja world with just one hand!" Kumoko gasped.

What an astonishing power!

The value of a single drop of the Great Witch's blood was beyond measure; it possessed the remarkable ability to enhance the master's physical attributes significantly. It came as no surprise that the master had chosen the Great Witch's blood as his desired reward.

For the master, the Great Witch's blood was the most advantageous choice!

"Extract the blood of the Great Witch!" Yasao exclaimed without hesitation as he conducted the extraction right in the middle of a live broadcast.

A low, resonant hum filled the air as a substantial quantity of blood materialized in Yasao's hand. Strangely enough, this single drop of blood appeared larger than an adult's entire body.

However, when one considered the immense size of the Great Witch, who spanned tens of thousands of feet, dwarfing mountains, and compared it to the tiny essence contained within this drop of blood, it was truly an enigmatic sight.

"Let's preserve it for now; there's no need to rush the refinement process," Yasao murmured.

Without hesitation, he sealed the precious drop of blood within a box and securely stored it in his Void Ring.
