Chapter 104.2 : Sasuke's Reward!

At this moment.

Many ninjas in Sunagakure proposed resurrecting the Fourth Kazekage, as it would significantly boost Sunagakure's strength.

Furthermore, some ninjas from other villages speculated that Gaara might choose to resurrect the Fourth Kazekage.

When Gaara picked up the resurrection card from the live room, Temari asked, "Gaara, who are you going to resurrect?"

Without hesitation, Gaara replied, "I want to resurrect my mother!"

This time, neither Temari nor Kankuro objected or tried to dissuade Gaara.

Although the conflict between Gaara and the Fourth Kazekage had been resolved, and Gaara's temperament had changed, Gaara's deepest affection was for his mother, not his father.

Additionally, they missed their mothers dearly.

Hence, they naturally supported Gaara's plan to resurrect their mother.

Then.

Gaara immediately activated the resurrection card.

"Resurrect my mom, Karura!

Resurrection card activated.

A majestic power descended upon Sunagakure, bringing Karura back to the village.

The next moment.

Karura's body underwent a profound transformation, his soul seamlessly returning to his revived form in the blink of an eye.

"Mother!"

Tears welled up in Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara's eyes.

"Kankuro, Temari, Gaara, am I truly resurrected?"

Karura was astonished.

"Yes, Mom, I brought you back!" Gaara declared.

In the Golden List live room, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was already aware that his wife, Karura, had been resurrected, though Gaara had not resurrected himself.

Initially disappointed and even dissatisfied, he soon managed a wry smile. His actions toward Gaara were mirrored in his son's actions towards him.

[Fourth Kazekage: Gaara, protect your mother from now on!]

[Gaara: I will!]

"Gaara resurrected his mom, Naruto resurrected his mom. When can I bring back my own parents?" Sasuke sighed.

However, his reward was about to be revealed.

"I hope it's something good. It's my first time on the list!"

Sasuke eagerly anticipated the reveal of his bonus items.

Finally, Sasuke's rewards materialized!

A valuable item appeared in the live broadcast room. As it was Sasuke's first time on the list, only one treasure would be granted.

Upon seeing this treasure, everyone recognized it immediately.

Devil Fruit!

[Thunder Fruit: One of the Logia Devil Fruits. It transforms the physique into electricity, rendering normal physical attacks ineffective. It allows the user to release high voltage currents at will, move at lightning speed, possesses tremendous destructive power, and offers the ability of electrotherapy. One flaw: fear of seawater!]

[Fourth Raikage: It's the Thunder Fruit. The one I gave up before is now Sasuke's!]

[Terumi Mei: Thunder Fruit has a flaw, a fear of seawater, but despite this, it's an incredibly powerful reward. Sasuke, at just thirty-one, has earned it!]

(Fourth Raikage: Ah, I finally understand now. With enough strength, even a flaw isn't a problem. Thunder Fruit significantly enhances the power of Lightning Style ninja. It was a missed opportunity not to take it initially!)

[Kakashi: Indeed, even with a flaw, it can be compensated for in other ways. Strong enough strength weakens the threat of seawater, making it non-fatal.]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Sasuke got the Thunder Fruit. His strength is bound to skyrocket. I need to step up my game!]

"Thunder Fruit! Hahaha, fantastic!"

Sasuke was overjoyed.

Despite its seawater vulnerability, Sasuke, not facing water-ninjutsu user Uchiha Itachi, considered it a minor concern.

"Extract Thunder Fruit!" Sasuke declared.

Hum!

Sasuke extracted the Thunder Fruit and consumed it.

Immediately, he grimaced at the awful taste, the worst he had ever experienced. But the power of the Devil Fruit, Thunder Fruit, pushed him to swallow it.

Soon, a unique power surged within him, akin to his demonic abilities but distinct. Every cell seemed transformed into the essence of thunder, altering his entire being.

His perception abilities increased significantly, surprising given that he wasn't a sensory ninja.

Strength and speed were vastly improved.

Immediately, he unleashed the Chidori blade ninjutsu.

"Rip it apart!"

The Chidori's power erupted, instantly demolishing a building. The overwhelming force thrilled Sasuke.

"Suigetsu, attack me!" Sasuke commanded.

"Got it!" Suigetsu, aware of the Logia Devil Fruit's power, had no reservations.

He activated the curse's power, a surge of energy accompanying his punch towards Sasuke.

In the next moment, Sasuke transformed into a thunderbolt, the punch passing through him without harm.

"Physical attacks are indeed ineffective!" Sasuke remarked in surprise.

After testing it, Thunder Fruit couldn't disregard ninjutsu attacks but remained immune to normal physical attacks. It was sufficient.

"Suigetsu, try a water ninjutsu on me," Sasuke suggested.

Suigetsu nodded and attacked with a water ninjutsu, yet it caused no discomfort to Sasuke.

"I'm not afraid of water?" Sasuke mused.

"No, specifically sea water. You're not afraid of regular water. Water ninjutsu summoning sea water is rare, so don't worry too much. If you're fast, you can even dodge such ninjutsu," Suigetsu explained.

"Hahaha, Thunder Fruit's flaws aren't significant. I just need to avoid the sea!" Sasuke declared excitedly.

Such a Devil Fruit – even the Fourth Raikage didn't initially choose it. It seemed foolish!

Sasuke delved into Thunder Fruit again, controlling currents to attack distant places at will.

His body transformed into electric current, allowing him to shuttle through the air like teleportation, granting incredible speed.

"As expected of the Gold List, a random treasure can skyrocket my strength. Excellent! After the blood follows the limit list this time, I'll hone Thunder Fruit's abilities and defeat him!" Sasuke said coldly.
