Chapter 163

Tobirama renowned for his discerning eyes, couldn't help but sigh, "Ryan's strength is truly becoming more and more extraordinary! Every group meeting his strength surpasses another level."

During every Hokage meeting, Madara, Sasuke, and the members who joined the chat group later expressed their surprise at Ryan's astonishing power. Ryan's number-one ranking in the leaderboard was not without reason.

The most curious about Ryan was Naruto, a recent addition. While older members were grown adapted, they somewhat understood the capabilities of those present. However, Ryan's strength, akin to that of a monster, was an enigma, especially for Naruto who was quite new to the group.

Among the members, Ryan was the most mysterious figure. He had never encountered or even heard about him in his world. Thus, witnessing Ryan's formidable strength left him even more astonished.

Ryan smiled in response, maintaining his characteristic low-key demeanor. His recent display of power was merely from an ordinary punch, a testament to his restraint. Otherwise, with his current powers, he could be deemed to have surpassed the second-tier level. A formidable force, even posing a potential threat to Tsunade.

After the battle concluded, a collective silence settled over everyone, awaiting the next development.

Naruto, unaware of what was about to unfold, observed the reactions of others and remained silent. Soon, a notification from the chat group interrupted the stillness.

"The Multiverse travel event is about to begin!"

Excitement rippled through everyone upon hearing this announcement. The much-anticipated last highlight of the meeting was finally approaching.

"Each meeting will open a portal to a new world and release the Multiverse missions. After completing the missions, you will earn reward points which you can use to obtain items from the Chat Store. Treasures obtained in otherworld can also be exchanged for points! During the missions, the respective worlds will be in a time static, waiting for you to complete the mission and come back."

A note of caution followed: "After dying in the mission, the member's world you belong to will also be destroyed, and it will be forever lost!"

As this information sank in the new member and the chat group considerately explained the rules of the Multiverse missions. All were in high spirits, eager to embark on their next adventure. Ryan, however, turned his attention to Naruto.

"Naruto, do you understand the risks? Do you still want to participate?" he inquired.

Since it was Naruto's first time attending the group meeting, the decision to join the mission rested entirely on his shoulders. Unlike other Hokages, Ryan didn't insist on such matters. The mission could start with just ten participants, and Naruto's absence wouldn't impact the travel function.

After hearing Ryan's question, Naruto took a moment to think. His gaze shifted toward the others – Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, and even his father – all displaying eager grins and anticipation. Sasuke stood quietly, pride evident in his posture, while Kakashi eye smiled with a more measured caution. Seeing their reactions, especially the confidence in his father's eyes, Naruto's resolve solidified.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm in!" he declared decisively, his voice strong. The Hokages, upon hearing his decision, erupted into a mix of excited cheers.

"Okay! Now everyone's ready!" Tsunade said with a grin, her eagerness apparent.

"I've been looking forward to it for half a year. I can't wait any longer!" Sasuke added, his voice laced with both pride and impatience.

"The last time we visited a world, it was simple, but we also gained a significant harvest," Tobirama noted, his cautious nature bubbling to the surface. "But we shouldn't underestimate what's coming next."

"It's like a super-family picnic!" Naruto chimed in, clearly excited, while Madara's eyes gleamed with greed. "The spoils could be even greater this time," Madara mused. "Why settle for less?"

Minato standing calmly beside Kakashi, couldn't help but share in the thrill of the unknown. "I wonder what the world will be like this time," he said with a smile, though he remained watchful of the group's next steps.

Recalling the positive experience of the Pirate World from their last adventure, each Hokage had their motivations. Some, like Tsunade and Naruto, sought new excitement and discoveries. Others, like Sasuke and Madara, were drawn by the potential for power and wealth. Meanwhile, Kakashi and Tobirama remained ever vigilant. But despite their different feelings, one thing was certain – they were ready for the challenge.

Simultaneously, there were concerns and worries in their hearts. Exploring brand-new worlds was no laughing matter. Inadequate strength or a lack of caution could lead to unexpected consequences. Each Hokage harbored a secret wariness as they prepared for the upcoming mission.

Ryan joined the conversation with a laugh. "I don't know which world we're heading to this time. But I'm looking forward to it!"

At that moment, Minato took the opportunity to explain numerous details to Naruto. He outlined specifics, such as time standing still in their world during the mission. Upon completing the task and returning, they would be rewarded with a substantial number of points.

These points can be exchanged for various rewards at the mall, where you can exchange them for all sorts of things. However, there are also disadvantages – once dead, not just Naruto himself, but the entire world he lives in will be destroyed.

Upon hearing this, Naruto didn't feel scared. His eyes became firmer, and he declared, "Even if it's dangerous, we must go because there is still a new adventure waiting for me! Dattebayo!" Naruto's resolute attitude brought smiles to everyone else.

The First Hokage, Hashirama, praised him, saying, "That's great, Naruto! This belief is worthy of being a Hokage!"

At that moment, the notification tone of the chat group echoed in the conference space once again.

"[Ding! The mission of the Multiversal travel world is open!]

Everyone's attention was focused, awaiting the content of the next world. Soon, the Otherworld they were about to join was selected.

[Ding! The world draw is complete! Otherworld: The world Shinigami]

"Shinigami world?" Naruto wondered. "What kind of world is this? The same Shinigami as in Dead Demon Consuming Seal?!"

Observing the newly selected Otherworld, everyone looked puzzled. The name "Shinigami" suggested it wasn't a simple world, given its connection to matters of life and death.

In response to their curiosity, Ryan explained, "The Zanpakutō and the Complete Kido encyclopedia are from the Shinigami world! This time, luck can be considered a bit bad."

"But our strength at the moment has gone through many evolutions should be enough to deal with them! But don't let your guard down for a moment."

After listening to Ryan's explanation, everyone nodded. At that moment, the notification of the chat group sounded again.

[Mission released!]

Mission 1: Defeat Kurosaki Ichigo;

Mission 2: Defeat Aizen, Yhwach, and Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto;

Mission 3: Completely defeat the three forces of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Schatten Bereich!"

Upon seeing the posted tasks, Ryan's complexion couldn't help but change slightly. "Are we against the whole world again? These three tasks require us to take down all the factions in the entire Shinigami world!"
