Chapter 97.1 : Mere Billon Ryo?

Ninja World, Mount Myoboku.

The camera of the Golden List live broadcast room arrived, surrounded by a misty atmosphere, showcasing the beautiful surroundings. 

On a massive rocky mountain, two enormous toads stood side by side. One of them, a large purple-red toad, held a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other, while the other, a large blue-green toad, wielded a longsword.

Standing between the two toads was none other than Jiraiya, appearing rather diminutive in comparison.

This was the Reverse Summoning Jutsu in action!

Golden List had taken a more practical approach, choosing to summon the contractor to the side of the Summoning beast, rather than summoning two enormous Summoning beasts to the side of the contractor.

"Is there still a choice to make?" 

"That's correct. The three toad brothers of Mount Myoboku must also be part of the list!"

Uchiha Ran was initially surprised but quickly comprehended the situation. 

The three brothers, Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken, are here to make a choice. Gamabunta, often referred to as Toad Boss, was second in rank at Mount Myoboku, only surpassed by the Great Toad Sage, Gamamaru, and the two elders Fukasaku and Shima, and the massive Gamaguchi (the toad whose mouth was summoned by Jiraiya against Itachi and Kisame) .

Gamahiro and Gamaken were slightly inferior, so it made sense for them to be on equal footing and lower on the list.

"Little Junior Brother, which option do you think I should let Gamaken and Gamahiro choose?" Jiraiya inquired, scratching his head and striking a pose for the camera in the live broadcast room, attempting to display the grandeur of a Toad Sage.

He was obviously seeking Uchiha Ran's advice.

[Tsunade: Jiraiya, can't you read? The option to choose is so easy. This kind of decision should not even require Ran-kun's wisdom, you are just an idiot!!!]

Before Uchiha Ran could voice his opinion, Tsunade scolded him through the Golden List.

[Jiraiya: I simply thought that my younger brother might have a smarter perspective. Perhaps he'll think of something I've overlooked.]

[Tsunade: As far as these two options go, which one do you believe is worth pursuing!?]

Option One: Transformation

Golden List explained that the large toads could transform into humans and cultivate, gaining access to extra natural energy and enhancing their power. The transformed toads would possess a frog-like physique, meaning that they could develop exclusive talents and special physique comparable to the Sage of the Six Paths.

Option Two: Talent: Devour

Golden List clarified that this choice opened a special space within the stomach, enabling the ingested substances to be refined into nutrients, significantly increasing their power and combat abilities. This option was about enhancing their innate talents and accelerating their growth.

One option involved transforming into a human, while the other was more closely aligned with their original beastly nature.

What Gamaken and Gamahiro needed to consider was whether they wished to become human.

"Cough." Jiraiya chuckled awkwardly. 

Wasn't this a rare opportunity to be on the list? Did he wish to make more frequent appearances?

[Uchiha Ran: Brother Jiraiya, all you have to do is ask them if they wish to become humans.]

Uchiha Ran made it easy for him.

"Um!"

Jiraiya nodded seriously, putting on a thoughtful expression. He had to consider the well-being of his two loyal partners.

At this moment, an unexpected voice chimed in.

[Orochimaru: Jiraiya, I suggest making a choice!]

[Jiraiya: You damn Orochimaru! You still dare to show your face after killing our sensei!]

[Orochimaru: At least I gave our sensei an honorable death, not allowing him to rot away with the Root!]

[Danzo:What's wrong with my Root. All I did was for the benefit of Konoh.] 

[Sarutobi Hiruzen: Danzo, you traitor! How dare you betray Konoha. I will personally ensure your punishment.]

[Danzo: Hiruzen, you're as cunning as ever, wanting to use me to clean up your mess.]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen: @Orochimaru, I grant you permission to use Impure World Reincarnation on me. I don't mind you killing me, but I'll make sure to deal with Danzo's betrayal myself.]

[Danzo: Hiruzen, you're using me for your dirty work. That's what you're doing. You are as black-hearted as I am.]

[Zang: Just don't pretend.]

[Uchiha Ran: @Senju Tobirama, Second Hokage, is Danzo's matter resolved?]

[Senju Tobirama: It's quite evident from his actions. He wouldn't talk as much in the chat room if he wasn't dead.]

[Uchiha Ran: I'll retract the Super S wanted order.]

[Kakuzu: What a shame, 100 million ryo reward!]

[Hidan: You're not in charge of funds, so it's not a big deal.]

[Kakuzu: Public and private funds are separate. Konan, I should settle the debt I owe you. I want to invest and make a fortune with the Fifth Hokage.]

[Konan: Give me a moment.]

[Kakuzu: What do you mean?]

[Deidara: The flowers have withered.]

[Kakuzu: @Konan, is that true?]

[Konan: .@Uchiha Ran.]

[Uchiha Ran: Yes?]

[Konan: ...hmm.]

[Uchiha Ran: @Kakuzu, I'll transfer the money. Just a billion ryo.]

A billion ryo... "just" a billion?

True to his reputation as the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce chairman, Uchiha Ran indeed had deep pockets.

[Deidara: I'd also like to have a billion too.]

[Terumi Mei: With this money, the development of Kirigakure would be no problem. Brother Ran, I can create the best venue for our wedding with it in Kirigakure!]

[Onoki: Can you give downry for Kurotsuchi; can you also provide a salary?]

A group of people were taken aback by Uchiha Ran's extravagance.

Uchiha Ran inwardly chuckled and shook his head. He had no need for the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce's money. 

When Naruto and the others had traveled to the Land of Waves, he had accepted Gatō's wealth, which far exceeded a billion ryo.

That billion would benefit Kakuzu, multiplying his wealth. As for Konan, she had the potential to further improve and sell the Explosive Tags, earning far more than a billion ryo.

If people wanted a billion, they could have it. Why not?
