Chapter 160 : Tobirama's Choice!!

Uzumaki Naruto's ninth-place reward consists of two items: a shimmering golden light of merit and a Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill capable of enhancing his strength.

[Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill: Significantly refines the body and enhances Chakra]

"Which item should I choose?" Naruto pondered.

"Dad, what if I choose the golden light of merit and ask Yasao to aid in your revival?" Naruto suggested.

Namikaze Minato shook his head. "No need, son. I am currently in a formidable state, akin to being alive. I can freely traverse the Pure Land. Reviving me would only weaken my strength over time. However, you may trade the golden light of merit with Yasao. You need not worry about resurrecting me. Other items are available for trade."

"Like what?"

Naruto was unsure of what he needed.

"Something that enhances your strength or valuable treasures. You can negotiate with Yasao; he might offer you the most suitable option," Minato advised.

"Got it, Dad!"

Naruto nodded, opting for the golden light of merit.

[Uzumaki Naruto: Lord Yasao, are you interested in trading the golden light of merit?]

[Yasao: I'm open to it. What do you seek?]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Let's discuss it in person.]

[Yasao: No problem.]

In the next moment, the space within the Fourth Hokage's residence distorted, and Yasao emerged.

"Hello, Lord Yasao!" Minato greeted respectfully.

In the grand scheme, Yasao could traverse to Konoha effortlessly, rendering even the Green Wood Realm inconsequential. No one could detain Yasao when his intent was set on vengeance.

Such an indomitable presence naturally warranted a more courteous approach.

"Naruto, let's hear it. What is it that you seek?" Yasao inquired.

Naruto shook his head and replied, "Lord Yasao, I'm uncertain about my choice. What do you believe would be most beneficial for me to enhance my strength?"

Yasao responded with indifference, "The ninja world's training regimen has its limitations, such as Chakra. Many individuals reach a cap with their Chakra, only by continuously honing powerful ninjutsu can one enhance their strength. Otherwise, progression becomes arduous, and even the rewards of a Golden List are merely temporary solutions, unable to address lifelong advancement. Without the Golden List rewards, numerous individuals find themselves stagnated, unable to progress. If you truly seek strength, a solitary treasure won't suffice. I can create a Senjutsu Cultivation Technique tailored specifically for you, enabling you to practice Senjutsu. It will enhance your Chakra for Senjutsu, granting perfect control and potentially even ascending to Immortal Dao level in the future."

"Alright! Can this Senjutsu Cultivation Technique be passed on to others?" Naruto inquired.

"Yes, however, this Senjutsu Cultivation Technique is uniquely suited to you and may not be as effective for others," Yasao cautioned.

"I understand," Naruto nodded in acknowledgment.

Subsequently,

Yasao devised a Senjutsu Cultivation Technique named 'Infinite Mountain Body' for Naruto. Mastery of the Infinite Mountain Body not only cultivates an immeasurable immortal physique but also endows boundless physical strength, energy, and enduring combat prowess. 

Moreover, the Senjutsu Chakra far surpasses that of equivalent rank, making it an ideal match for Naruto's constitution.

With a burst of excitement,

Naruto received the inheritance of the Infinite Mountain Body, promptly presenting the golden light of merit to Yasao.

Then, Yasao departed from Konoha.

And immediately, Konoha commenced Naruto's training in the Infinite Mountain Body. In the years to come, his strength would undoubtedly witness a significant surge.

The rewards for the tenth place on the merit list were revealed.

This time, Mifune was the lucky recipient.

The first reward item was the golden light of merit.

The second item was a Rank Three Golden Pill.

The effect of the Rank Three Golden Pill was much inferior to that of the Rank Four Golden Pill, with a shorter lifespan as well.

"Rank Three golden pills are too common; I'd rather go with the golden light of merit!" Mifune decided.

[Mifune: I choose the golden light of merit. Does Lord Yasao want to trade?]

[Yasao: You can trade. What do you desire?]

[Mifune: I want an exceptionally potent sword technique that aligns well with my path of swordsmanship.]

[Yasao: No problem!]

Afterwards, Yasao customized several formidable sword techniques for Mifune, which, when mastered to the utmost, could vanquish powerhouses of the Six Paths caliber.

Then, Yasao obtained his golden light of merit from him.

Although the golden light of merit of Mifune was modest, for Yasao, it was a transaction with no initial investment, making it naturally lucrative.

Upon refining the golden light of merit from Naruto and Mifune, Yasao's Wheel of Merit grew slightly larger...

"It'll be awesome if someone might acquire a plethora of golden light of merit all at once, then trade with me!" Yasao said with anticipation.

Subsequently, the rewards on the list were announced one by one, and there were indeed individuals who acquired the golden light of merit for trade with Yasao, though they were scarce, better than nothing.

Unbeknownst, the rewards reached the eighteenth spot on the merit list.

"I hope I can obtain the golden light of merit and then resurrect myself!" Senju Tobirama said hopefully.

After all, his elder brother had been resurrected; naturally, he desired the same fate!

Soon, two reward items appeared on the screen.

The first reward item was a weapon, a blade.

[Space Blade: A weapon imbued with spatial attributes, capable of rending space and possessing teleportation capabilities.]

The second reward item was a question-and-answer card.

[Question and Answer Card: A random question is generated. Answer correctly for a better reward than of ranking. Incorrect answers yield no reward."

Senju Tobirama hesitated.

Undoubtedly, the Space Blade was formidable, capable of rending space itself—a feat beyond his own abilities!

Yet, he has already departed from this world. Even possessing the power of space held little meaning for him now.

Should he opt for the Question and Answer Card? If he answered correctly, he might secure greater rewards, perhaps abundant golden light of merit.

[Senju Tobirama: Big Brother, should I select the Space Blade or the Q&A Card?

[Senju Hashirama: Take a chance with the Question and Answer Card. It's a gamble, but perhaps you'll receive golden light of merit or even a resurrection card, allowing your return!

[Senju Tobirama: Very well, I'll risk it with the Question and Answer Card.

[Uchiha Madara: Hmph, Tobirama, you're bound to lose.

[Senju Hashirama: Silence, Uchiha Madara.

[Uchiha Madara: Humph! Regardless, I won't allow Senju Tobirama to succeed.

And so, Senju Tobirama decided to gamble on the Question and Answer Card and activated it.

Suddenly, a quiz question materialized in the live broadcast room.
