Chapter 57.2 : Exposed Danzo!

At that moment, Uzumaki Kushina also appeared in the live broadcast room and shared news of her resurrection.

[ Uzumaki Kushina: Minato, dear, I've successfully returned and am currently with our son, Naruto.]

[ Fourth Hokage: Kushina, that's fantastic!]

[ Hidan: The resurrection card can actually bring people back to life, it's incredible! It's the reward for 14th place in the pet list, but I think it's even better than the previous rewards!]

[ Kakuzu: Rewards depend on luck, and the Nine Tails' luck seems to be excellent, leading to treasures like the resurrection card.]

[ Naruto: Dad, I'll find a way to bring you back as well.]

"Naruto resurrected his mother; I'm really envious," Uchiha Sasuke muttered.

He, too, wishes to bring his parents back, but it seems he's currently incapable.

"I must train diligently and grow stronger as quickly as possible. Only when I've gained enough power, like Lord Orochimaru, or even surpassed him, will I qualify for the top ranks. It's only at that level that there's hope for receiving valuable cards like these," Uchiha Sasuke said to himself.

Soon, more rewards were announced.

This time, it was the reward for fifteenth place on the pet list, which also happened to be associated with Mount Myōboku's Gamanemu.

Although Jiraiya is the Toad's owner, he knew this reward was unrelated to him.

Buzz!

The fifteenth-place reward item from the pet list materialized in the live broadcast room, revealing another Devil Fruit.

[Lava-Lava Fruit: A Logia-class Devil Fruit, it allows the user to transform their body into magma, rendering physical attacks ineffective. They can create and manipulate magma, capable of burning everything. Note: Vulnerable to seawater.]

[ Jiraiya: Lava-Lava Fruit, this ability is truly terrifying. Once it becomes lava, nothing can withstand its destructive power, and it can ignore physical attacks. It's a nightmare for Taijutsu ninjas!]

[ Terumi Mei: A fruit that can turn into magma? The power of this Devil Fruit is astounding. However, the drawback is its vulnerability to seawater.]

[Fourth Raikage: Why would anyone venture into the sea? It's far more dangerous on land. Although Kirigakure's water ninjutsu can summon seawater to contain enemies, the temperature of magma is so high that it evaporates seawater. While seawater restricts it, it doesn't pose a significant threat on land.]

[ Great Toad Sage: The Lava-Lava Fruit is incredibly potent!]

[Might Guy: The Lava-Lava Fruit and Gamanemu, both are powerful. Who would dare to challenge it when it transforms into magma? Rather than harm it, they'd get burned by the magma.]

[ Third Hokage: Gamanemu is now equipped with the Lava-Lava Fruit; its strength is bound to skyrocket. It might even surpass the Nine Tails.]

[Nine Tails: Gamanemu's luck is truly extraordinary!]

Initially, the Great Toad Sage desired Gamanemu's reward items, but it appeared that the Lava-Lava Fruit was more suitable for it. Gamanemu's enhanced strength would fortify Mount Myōboku's position.

Therefore, the Great Toad Sage decided not to claim the Lava-Lava Fruit from Gamanemu.

Mount Myōboku.

The Great Toad Sage approached Gamanemu.

"Gamanemu, you may retrieve the Lava-Lava Fruit from the live broadcast room and consume it," the Great Toad Sage instructed.

"Alright!"

Gamanemu extracted the Lava-Lava Fruit.

For its colossal form, the fruit was minuscule.

It gulped the fruit in a single bite.

In no time, the Lava-Lava Fruit's power activated, and the toad mastered the power of magma.

Although newly acquired, its inherent strength was substantial, enabling it to wield the Lava-Lava Fruit's power.

Gamanemu transformed into magma, and as it moved, nearby trees, flowers, and plants incinerated instantly. The scorching temperature even turned the earth to cinders.

Gamanemu, massive in size, became akin to a walking volcano once it became magma.

The Great Toad Sage's expression shifted slightly.

"What a formidable Devil Fruit! If it weren't for the significant side effects, it would be more valuable than the Slippery Fruit and Op-Op Fruit! No, it's the perfect fit for Gamanemu, and most individuals wouldn't be able to harness its full potential. For Gamanemu, the Lava-Lava Fruit's worth surpasses that of other Devil Fruits," the Great Toad Sage mused.

"Great Toad Sage, this Devil Fruit is a blast," Gamanemu chuckled.

"Take your time to explore its powers, but don't cause destruction!" the Great Toad Sage cautioned before departing for the depths of Mount Myōboku.

In the depths of the sea:

Red Lotus Godzilla considered the Lava-Lava Fruit. It could complement its abilities, but it had a profound attachment to the sea. Devouring the fruit would mean abandoning its love for the sea, so it ultimately lost interest.

However, many were intrigued by the Lava-Lava Fruit, though they could only watch but not acquire it.

[Eight Tails: Now, it's my turn for a reward. Nine Tails already has resurrection cards, so I should get a good reward.]

[One Tail: After Eight Tails' reward, it'll be my turn. While I'm not eager for it, I'm still curious.]

[Killer Bee: Gyūki, the reward is here!]

In the live broadcast room, the sixteenth-place reward on the pet list was revealed. Killer Bee and Eight Tails Gyūki gazed at the screen.

Once again, a card appeared.

At the sight of this card, everyone recognized it instantly.

Although there were many different cards, this one was identical to the one used in the previous reward.

"The question card, it's back!" Uchiha Itachi muttered.

Last time, he acquired the question and answer card, which led to an important revelation. This card allowed him to unite the Akatsuki and share crucial information. Now, Killer Bee has received a similar quiz card.

[Fourth Raikage: Killer Bee, it's a quiz card!]

[Eight Tails: I got a question and answer card, and we have to answer questions correctly to get the rewards. It's rather troublesome.]

[Killer Bee: Cough, Gyūki, don't worry. We have numerous Cloud Shinobi Village ninjas; they'll help us find the answers to the questions, and we'll get them right.]

[Eight Tails: For my first time on the list, I don't have the privilege to choose, so I'll use the question and answer card.]

This time, instead of posing a direct question, Eight Tails' card displayed an image.

Buzz!

In the image, Uchiha Sasuke and Danzo were locked in combat, with a mysterious masked man observing from the sidelines.

Seeing this battle, Danzo grew thoughtful. He remembered Uchiha Sasuke's intrusion during the Five Kage Summit and his confrontation with the Fourth Raikage. He had lost an arm, but the outcome of Sasuke's actions was unknown to him.

It seemed that Sasuke's target was him.

"So, Sasuke must be aware of the truth behind the Uchiha Clan's massacre, and he's here for vengeance!" Danzo muttered.

The battle unfolded, initially favoring Danzo. However, Sasuke, despite sustaining injuries, launched relentless attacks, gradually worsening his own condition.

Suddenly, Danzo revealed the sharingan hidden beneath the white bandages on his arm. He possessed ten sharingans in total, making his arm appear eerie.

"Damn, he exposed the Sharingan!" Danzo thought to himself.
