Chapter 059: Kumoko Has Finally Transformed into Human Form!

[Shukaku: Uchiha Sasuke's daughter's mother is Karin Uzumaki!]

As soon as this answer was given, many believed Shukaku's response was solid and absolutely correct.

After all, the girl looked almost identical to Karin Uzumaki, making it more than 90% likely that she was her daughter!

[Fourth Raikage: Congratulations to the Fifth Kazekage!]

[Tsunade: Congratulations to the Fifth Kazekage!]

[Mei Terumī: Congratulations to the Fifth Kazekage!]

[Third Tsuchikage: Congratulations to the Fifth Kazekage on receiving a great reward!]

[Gyūki: Shukaku, congratulations on answering correctly! Too bad I got it wrong earlier!]

[Kurama: I'm really curious what Shukaku's reward will be. It should be good. When these Q&A cards are answered correctly, the rewards are usually excellent, not weaker than those in the top ten.]

[Shukaku: Hahaha, thank you, everyone!]

[Gaara: As long as the reward is useful, that's all that matters!]

It seemed that no one doubted Shukaku's answer because it didn't seem possible for it to be wrong.

After all, Uchiha Sasuke and Karin Uzumaki would be together in the future, and the daughter looked incredibly like Karin. How could that be wrong?

But just then, the livestream room announced the answer.

[Incorrect answer. The correct answer is Sakura Haruno!]

[Gaara: ????]

[Shukaku: ????]

[Uchiha Sasuke: ????]

[Naruto: No way! How could Sasuke end up marrying Sakura?]

[Sakura Haruno: Hahaha, I knew it was me! It seems Sasuke and I will be together in the future after all.]

[Kakashi: Sasuke and Sakura will be together in the future?]

[Sasuke: The future can be changed. I won't like Sakura.]

[Karin Uzumaki: Right, the future can change. Who knows, Sasuke might choose to be with me.]

[Shukaku: Oh my, how could this be wrong? This answer is too misleading!]

[Gaara: Shukaku, don't be upset. I couldn't imagine this answer either. Even if Sasuke were the one answering, he would've been wrong!]

[Sakura Haruno: Hahaha, I'm so happy today.]

[Naruto: I'm not happy!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Don't worry, son. There will be plenty of future brides to choose from. How about I pick one for you?]

[Naruto: I don't want that!]

[Fourth Raikage: I get it now. This Q&A card is a total trap—whoever gets it is out of luck.]

[Nagato: I don't agree with that!]

[Konan: The Q&A card is actually pretty good; you all just guessed wrong, while Itachi got it right!]

"Master, I also guessed it was Karin Uzumaki, but it turned out to be wrong!"

Rongrong was surprised.

She thought she was clever and had everything figured out, but she ended up getting it wrong.

"Guessing wrong is normal," Ye Tian said with a smile. "Anyone would have guessed wrong, unless they were just blindly guessing. But if only one person is allowed to guess, it's 100% certain to be wrong."

Ye Tian knew the future storyline but wouldn't reveal it.

After all, there was no need to help others, and it wouldn't benefit him.

Soon after, the rewards for each Tailed Beast were announced.

This time, however, there were no more Q&A cards; all the rewards were normal.

Most of the Tailed Beasts handed their rewards to their Jinchūriki, and how the Jinchūriki used them was up to them.

Before long, the reward for the 25th place on the Pet Ranking List was revealed—Enma.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite eager to see what reward Enma would receive.

"If only he could get a resurrection card!"

Hiruzen thought to himself.

But he also knew it was unlikely since the 25th place was relatively low, so the reward might not be extraordinary, but it wouldn't be bad either.

Soon, everyone noticed that Enma's reward was a choice between two items.

The first reward was a drop of blood essence.

[Magic Ape Blood Essence: Contains terrifying power, suitable for simian creatures. Ordinary humans who consume it may lose control, but it can greatly enhance physical strength and even grant the Magic Ape's bloodline, with the ability to transform into a Magic Ape.]

The second reward was a talisman.

[Substitute Talisman: Can be used to cheat death once, negating any form of death and removing all negative effects.]

[Tsunade: Enma's reward includes two items, and he gets to choose one.]

[Third Hokage: It must be because Enma made it onto the Weapon Ranking List earlier, and now he's on the Pet Ranking List. If you make it onto two...]

[Enma: That seems to be the case. Previously, I made it onto the weapon list as the Adamantine Staff, and now I've entered the pet list as Enma. Since I've made it onto the list twice, it makes sense that I can choose a reward.]

[Fourth Raikage: Haha, earlier you said the Adamantine Staff had nothing to do with you as Enma, and now you're quick to contradict yourself.]

[Enma: As long as there's a reward, I don't mind contradicting myself.]

[Fourth Raikage:]

[Might Guy: Both rewards are good. The Magic Ape's Essence can enhance your strength and would be very beneficial to you, Enma. The Substitute Talisman allows you to cheat death once and also removes negative effects—it's practically like having an Izanagi at your disposal. It could be a lifesaver at a critical moment.]

[Mei Terumi: If I were Enma, I'd choose the Magic Ape's Essence. The Substitute Talisman might not even be needed.]

[Enma: Sarutobi, what do you think I should choose?]

[Third Hokage: Enma, you should decide for yourself.]

Enma pondered for a moment before making a decision. He decided to choose the Substitute Talisman and intended to give it to Sarutobi Hiruzen's son, Asuma. He deeply regretted not successfully capturing Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword back then. As for the Magic Ape's Essence, it was indeed a valuable reward, but since he stayed within the ape clan and rarely encountered danger, enhancing his strength wasn't as crucial.

[Enma: I choose the Substitute Talisman! Sarutobi, I'll pass it on to your son Asuma.]

[Third Hokage: Enma, thank you so much!]

And so, Enma chose the Substitute Talisman.

After Enma received his reward, it was the turn of Hanzō of the Salamander's summoned creature, the salamander.

[Pet List Rank No.26: Essence of the Gui Water.]

[Essence of the Gui Water: A water-element spirit that can enhance the abilities of water-based creatures and refine their bodies to a certain extent.]

The salamander took the Essence of the Gui Water for itself since it could directly enhance its power. Besides, Hanzō was already dead, so it was of no use to him.

Next, the reward for the 27th-ranked pet, the mirage of the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki, was announced. The livestream showed a pure white pearl.

[Illusion Pearl: Increases the power of illusions but requires a large amount of energy.]

[Gengetsu Hōzuki: The Illusion Pearl is great, perfect for the mirage!]

[Mirage: I'll take it!]

[Gengetsu Hōzuki: It's your reward, of course it's yours!]

The mirage then extracted the Illusion Pearl.

Afterward, it was the turn of the Three Giant Snakes of Ryūchi Cave, but their reward was directly confiscated by the White Snake Sage. Although the Three Giant Snakes felt uncomfortable about it, they didn't dare to oppose the White Snake Sage.

In Ryūchi Cave, the White Snake Sage held three treasures: Blood Dragon Grass, White Snake Pearl, and Long Snake Staff.

Blood Dragon Grass could refine the body, increasing strength and defense; the White Snake Pearl could enhance the power of the snake bloodline. For instance, as a White Snake with a Soaring Snake bloodline, the White Snake Pearl could increase her innate snake power, directly boosting her strength. The Long Snake Staff was a weapon that could control many snakes, though only weaker ones, and could enhance their strength. If she wielded the Long Snake Staff to command the snakes of Ryūchi Cave in battle, she could amplify their power.

The White Snake Sage was very satisfied with these three treasures. Combined with the Soaring Snake bloodline she had obtained earlier, her strength had increased significantly.

"Next time the pet list is updated, I might even advance a rank. Surpassing the Slug Sage should be easy. But whether I can surpass Garaga, I'm not so sure," the White Snake Sage muttered to herself.
