Chapter 178 : Two Intermediate Draws!!

Above the live screen, just before the unveiling of the Golden List, Ran's hand gestured, conjuring forth a massive tea kettle.

A cluster of perplexed expressions adorned everyone's visage. This was entirely unfamiliar territory.

Only White Snake Sage, Sage Katsuyul, Brother Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and a few others pondered silently.

As the scene unfolded, streaks of light streamed into the golden list, revealing precise rankings.

No. 11: Seal Engraving Cauldron (crafted from a "lid" and a "spiritual pivot," resembling a tea cauldron and capable of biological sealing.)

Owner: Uchiha Ran

This artifact, procured by Uchiha Ran, originates from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!

[Shukaku: Seeing this tea cauldron, a sense of familiarity washed over me. The seal within the Sand Shinobi Temple was inspired by this very object.]

[Gyūki: Spare us your embellishments, Cloud Shinobi Village resorted to the amber bottle before reluctantly sealing me. Is a mere cauldron more effective than the amber bottle in sealing a beast like you?]

[Shukaku: How audacious of you, Kurama's younger brother, to address me thus!]

[Gyūki: Despite being listed amongst the Summoning beasts, you have the nerve to flaunt yourself. Kurama, will you remain silent?]

[Shukaku: Silence befits one who values dignity.]

[Gyūki: @UzumakiNaruko, @Namikaze Makoto, why so quiet?]

[Uzumaki Naruko: It is about Kurama, why should I, Uzumaki Naruko, be involved?]

[Namikaze Makoto: Indeed, it's about Kurama, why should I, Namikaze Makoto, be involved?]

(・····)

[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: The resonance of the Ten Tails emanates from this tea kettle, akin to the Gunbai but imbued with more Chakra crystals.]

[White Snake Sage: Precisely, I concur. It shares similarities with the Blissful Casket you once employed to harness the divine tree's essence.]

[Katsuyu: My intuition suggests this artifact hails from the Ōtsutsuki clan.]

[Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: Yes, this thing is a weapon brought by herself, and Ten Tails will be sealed even if it is not a complete body.]

All:

Everything is under control now.

So, it appears this is a weapon from the Ōtsutsuki clan, brought by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself.

Does this mean that the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki has been vanquished by Uchiha Ran?

Considering Ran's current strength, defeating a weakened Ōtsutsuki clan was effortless, and inheriting their weapons was simply a logical consequence.

And given Uchiha Ran's current strength, it's no surprise they could eliminate the soul of Ōtsutsuki Ishikki.

Otherwise, the opposing party wouldn't have spoken until now.

[Fourth Raikage Ai: Understood, so it seems that some rankings, which we couldn't previously decipher, belong to the Fifth Hokage?)

[Killer Bee: Oh, wise-crackin' Empty Yalu, big brother, didn't reckon you'd be this sharp."

[Senju Tobirama: Alas, even with Campione's strength, you're still nothing before the Fifth Hokage.]

T:...

Truly, are you the Versailles Bensai?

The strength to alter the sky on a grand scale, enough to cleanse the earth, is second or even third-tier in the Six Paths hierarchy.

Madara and Hahirama probably aren't as formidable as you. And you're still discontent?

"Brother, you're taking a beating too easily," Hashirama couldn't help but lament, feeling a pang of bitterness.

He, the revered god of the ninja world, now finds himself surpassed by so many.

One who was always at the pinnacle of power, now relegated to looking up at others.

Uncomfortable.

But the worst is yet to come.

"There are very few who can even lay a finger on me now."

Feeling the surge of divine power and physical strength within him, Tobirama shook his head and muttered to himself, "Brother and Madara, why don't you help me acquaint myself with my newfound strength?"

Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara exchanged glances and opted not to respond.

Come on, they can both have Susano and summon Wood Style Wooden Golems.

Yet, after Tobirama inherited the strength of Voban, he's mastered a dojutsu capable of matching Uchiha Ran's complete body Susanoo.

Uchiha Ran stands firm, relying solely on his own strength - that's raw power.

Others can't match that.

"I aim to find a path onto that list, preferably to secure Luo Hao's inheritance," Hashirama quietly set his aspirations.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara contemplates acquiring a Ten Tails, eager to attain the pinnacle strength of the Six Paths level as swiftly as possible, and even surpassing it with bloodline power.

Continental level?

The old man obliterates you with stellar might.

"Cool, huh?" Hashirama mutters.

Observing the silence from Uchiha Madara and Hashirama, Tobirama experiences an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

The intrigue of this moment ignites excitement across the ninja world.

What's a leap towards the sky?

This is it!

The Gold List, the ultimate!

[Weapon List Reward: Ruyi-size, enhanced sealing power (capable of sealing Peak Sage Level), with refining function (able to refine any creature into a source energy pill, like Chakra Pill, Dou Qi Pill, etc.).

Owner Reward: Intermediate Myriad Worlds Draw X2]

Uchiha Ran's eyes gleam as the list's reward information updates.

The evolution of the sealing cauldron alone fulfills him.

Originally, the cauldron could only seal Naruto and the Little Ten Tails at their peak, along with Isshiki in his Karma state, sufficient for sealing ordinary Six Paths.

Now, it's taken a significant leap, capable of even sealing members of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

And it can refine into Pill!

The power of the Ōtsutsuki clan stems from the fruit; if scattered, it becomes a pill.

And the Pill the sealing cauldron can refine isn't just any.

This greatly enhances his methods for self-improvement and empowering his subordinates.

Observing Madara and Hashirama, it's likely they'll succumb to greed.

"Even Kaguya."

Ran smiled discreetly, her gaze scanning the surroundings, catching the gleam of excitement in Madara's Rinnegan.

That's an excellent method to expedite oneself to the third stage of the Six Paths level.

"Accepted."

With a flicker of intention, he condensed the advanced sealing cauldron to the size of his palm, then nestled it into the Hōgyoku space between his brows.

Perhaps one of the two can provide assistance.

"Now, let's begin with a lottery."

Two intermediate draws cannot be combined into a high-level draw.

Though it was regrettable, Ran proceeded directly.

"What!"

(Rich harvest) The first draw halted at the "Talent (Bloodline)" section.

Ran displayed a keen interest.

Any bloodline talent could amplify its own legacy.

Given proper cultivation, it could eventually manifest as a certain magical prowess or even a law.

"Proceed!"

Ran declared, her excitement mounting.

The dial's information shifted.

One: Shinigami Aura (Shinigami Elementary School World)

Two: Forced Halo (Ninja World)

Three: Orphan Halo (from a Lu orphanage)

Four: Double Standard Halo (Soul Ring World)

Five: Vision Halo (Low Profile Covering Heaven World)

Six: Wang Qi Halo (a fantasy world)

Seven: Face Slap Halo (The Return of a God of War)

Eight: The Halo of Wisdom

Nine: Alchemy Talent (Low with Honghuang Taiqing Laozi)

Ten: One Pillar Defying the Sky (Gao Wu Zhang Sanfeng)

Uchiha Ran:

Te Meow, is one of your talents serious?!.
