Chapter 118.1 : Yasao's Move!

Golden List Live Room

A reward item appeared on the screen.

It was a massive light source emitting intense radiance.

[Source of Senjutsu Energy: It can fuse with one's surroundings, neutralizing the threat of natural energy assimilation, and accelerating Senjutsu cultivation, enhancing Senjutsu Chakra swiftly...]

[Great Sage Toad: This Source of Senjutsu Energy is invaluable. For years, many toads in Mount Myōboku perished due to the hazards of natural energy assimilation. With this, all toads can cultivate fearlessly, amplifying Mount Myōboku's power tremendously!]

[Sage Katsuyu: Truly a boon!]

[White Snake Sage: It's decent, but not fitting for Ryūchi Cave. I still believe my Blood Orchid surpasses it!]

[Great Sage Toad: Blood Orchid is irrelevant for us toads; the Source of Senjutsu Energy is precious!]

[Tsunade: The Source of Senjutsu Energy is indeed precious. Placed in Konoha, it would embolden ninjas to pursue Senjutsu!]

[Sage Fukasaku: Hahaha, with this, Mount Myōboku will witness a surge in Senjutsus—a true haven!]

[White Snake Sage: It's a pity the Source of Senjutsu Energy doesn't enhance your strength, Great Sage Toad. What's the use?]

[Great Sage Toad: As long as other Toads benefit, it's worthwhile!]

For the Great Sage Toad, the Source of Senjutsu Energy was exceedingly precious, bringing him great contentment.

Without delay, he retrieved the Source of Senjutsu Energy.

Hum!

The colossal Source of Senjutsu Energy was tapped by Mount Myōboku's eminent figures like the Great Sage Toad, Sage Fukasaku, Senjutsu Zhima, successively.

In the next instant,

The immense Source of Senjutsu Energy was successfully assimilated by Mount Myōboku.

"Merge!"

The Great Sage Toad commanded, merging the Source of Senjutsu Energy seamlessly with Mount Myōboku's realm.

Then, Mount Myōboku underwent a profound transformation; all life flourished anew, and the ambient natural energy posed no threat, free to be absorbed without fear of assimilation into stone.

"Master, is it safe for me to absorb natural energy?" Sage Fukasaku inquired.

"Yes, proceed with your practice. If any issues arise, I'll intervene," the Great Sage Toad affirmed.

Without hesitation,

Sage Fukasaku began absorbing the natural energy at a rapid pace. Previously, he would have hesitated, but now, he proceeded without fear.

Boom!

External natural energy surged into Sage Fukasaku's body, transmuting into Senjutsu Chakra, yet he remained untouched by petrification, feeling no adverse effects whatsoever.

Furthermore, Sage Fukasaku dared to utilize a significant amount of Chakra magic to fortify his physique, progressively enhancing his Sage Body.

"My lord, within Mount Myōboku, the natural energy can't petrify us even if not assimilated properly!" Sage Fukasaku exclaimed, his excitement palpable.

He understood the implications well. In the past, the fear of petrification made him cautious during cultivation, limiting his absorption of natural energy. Now, unburdened by this fear, the pace of his cultivation would surely accelerate.

Moreover, the Senjutsu energy itself augmented the practice of Senjutsu arts, hastening their progress. While many toads were not inclined towards Senjutsu, they could now experiment freely.

Naturally, mastery of Senjutsu in Mount Myōboku was imperative for safety and rapid advancement.

"Marvelous! It appears the Senjutsu energy has indeed altered the laws of Mount Myōboku!" exclaimed the Great Toad Sage, awestruck.

He marveled at the unprecedented ability of the Senjutsu energy to instantly reshape the natural order.

The anticipation for the announcement of the sixth-place reward was palpable within Akatsuki. The upcoming reward belonged to them, after all.

[Hidan: I hope it's something worthwhile!"

[Kakuzu: It better be a treasure beneficial to all of us!"

[Uchiha Obito: Hopefully, luck favors us this time!"

Finally, the reward for sixth place was revealed!

Buzz!

Displayed on the screen was a unique reward item—a vial of black spring water.

[Magic Spring: Immersion in this spring significantly fortifies the body, enhances strength, boosts bloodline limit power to its limits, even revitalizes from fatal injuries. 

Caution: Overuse may result in demonic transformation, abandoning humanity for power!]

[Uchiha Obito: Impressive! It can even enhance bloodline abilities!"

[Hoshigaki Kisame: A boon for physical enhancement, I approve!"

[Hidan: Demons, huh? Their strength is legendary. Becoming one wouldn't be so bad!"

]Tsunade: Akatsuki's might will surely rise with this Magic Spring!"

[Fourth Raikage: Akatsuki fortune is remarkable. Despite its risks, they're rebels—power matters more than humanity. They might choose to embrace the demonic side!"

At the Akatsuki's headquarters base, Uchiha Obito summoned the members to decide on a suitable location for the Magic Spring.

Once the magic spring is extracted and placed, each of them can enter it to enhance their strength.

With this, the strength of Akatsuki is expected to soar!

However, gathering everyone will take some time.

As time passed, the reward for seventh place on the power list was also announced.

This time, the reward goes to the Shikkotsu Forest.

Hum!

A reward appeared on the screen.

A vast white pool filled the image.

[Transformation Pool: Any creature entering it can transform into a human form, enhancing their physical qualities to some extent...]

[Red Lotus: Oh my, it's a transformation pool. So, if I enter, I can become human?

[Gamabunta: That's fantastic! I'd love to transform into a human. It would be so convenient to do human things after battles, instead of staying in my toad form all the time.

[Great Toad Sage: What's so great about being human? I prefer my toad form!

[Sage Katsuyu: Ahem, the Transformation Pool sounds promising. I could transform into a human and improve my strength. Not bad!

[Tsunade: Sage Katsuyu, if you transform into a human, would your clone also be human?

[Katsuyu Senjutsu: Tsunade, it's flexible. I could take a humanoid form or stick to my slug appearance.

[Red Lotus Godzilla: Hey Sage Katsuyu, can I borrow your transformation pool?

[Sage Katsuyu: Well...

Sage Katsuyu was unsure how to respond to Red Lotus Godzilla. Many Summoning beasts might want to use the pool. If she agreed, others would follow suit.

Would she allow the toads of Mount Myōboku to change shape? Would she respect the Great Toad Sage's preferences? If the giant snake of Ryūchi Cave transformed, would she honor the White Snake Sage?

Opening this up casually was risky!

So, she remained silent without replying.

"I'll try it myself first!"

Sage Katsuyu promptly extracted the transformation pool.

In the Shikkotsu Forest, an open space held the transformation pool.

Though smaller than Katsuyu, it accommodated her. Upon entering, it resized to fit her body, ensuring it didn't exceed the pool's capacity.

"Let's see if it lives up to its reputation! Golden List made it, so it should be reliable."

Sage Katsuyu entered the pool, and its transformative power immediately took effect.

The transformation was swift, her figure compressing and reshaping until she stood before them as a human woman, her form now akin to that of an ordinary human female.

"It's all happening so quickly!"

What's more, upon absorbing the energies of the Transformation Pond, the power of Sage Katsuyu surged. Even in her human guise, her strength not only remained intact but seemed to amplify.

"Master, I wish to change my form!"

Red Lotus Godzilla messaged Yasao, seeking guidance.

"Red Lotus, if you truly desire transformation, my abilities may fall short," Yasao responded with a hint of helplessness.

The evolutionary path he had mapped out for Red Lotus Godzilla made transformation a formidable task, a circumstance he lamented.

"Master, the Transformation Pond of Sage Katsuyu grants me the ability to take the human form instead of Red Lotus Godzilla."

"Are you seeking access to Sage Katsuyu's Transformation Pond?" Yasao inquired.

"Yes!" Red Lotus Godzilla pleaded, "But I am overlooked by others. Can you intercede, Master? I implore you. After this transformation, I shall not seek further rewards. I swear!"

As one of Yasao's summoned beasts, toiling tirelessly, Red Lotus Godzilla had earned his share of rewards and resources, laboring diligently at the ocean floor.

Now, he sought this transformation at great cost, willing to forego any future rewards.

After a moment's contemplation, Yasao acknowledged Red Lotus Godzilla's dedication. Having been loyal from the outset, it was only fair to oblige.

"Very well, I shall journey to the Shikkotsu Forest and confer with you," Yasao declared.

"Master, I am deeply grateful!" Red Lotus Godzilla's excitement was palpable.

For years, their owner had rarely ventured out, preferring solitude. This exception filled Red Lotus Godzilla with joy.

With that, Yasao concluded the conversation with Red Lotus Godzilla.

"Kumoko, Honghong, Yaya, I must depart for now," Yasao announced.

"Please return swiftly, Master!" Kumoko called out.
