Chapter 28 : Question and Answer Card

"Orochimaru-sama, this Infinite Tsukuyomi seems pretty good!" Kabuto said with a hint of madness in his eyes.

"It's indeed quite audacious to plunge the entire ninja world into the world of Genjutsu. But can we really ensure that Uchiha Madara won't eventually escape from the Impure World Reincarnation?" Orochimaru expressed his doubts.

Kabuto immediately responded, "Lord Orochimaru, who can predict the future? The Golden List has emerged, and for now, reaping its benefits is our top priority."

"You're right, Kabuto. Let's not dwell on the future; the Golden List is our primary concern at the moment," Orochimaru agreed.

In the live chat room:

[Orochimaru: Tsunade, I want to clarify that I have no involvement with the Infinite Tsukuyomi or Impure World Reincarnation of Uchiha Madara. Don't accuse me without evidence!]

[Jiraiya: Orochimaru, do you really need an accusation? You killed our sensei, after all!]

[Orochimaru: Hmph, it was the Third Hokage who failed to evade my attack and resorted to sealing my hand, forcing me to sacrifice my hands!]

[Fourth Raikage: We mustn't allow the Infinite Tsukuyomi to activate. Otherwise, we'll have no difference from being dead in the future, living under someone else's control.]

[Third Hokage: Don't worry, everyone. We're aware of the situation, and it may not come to pass in the future.]

[Third Tsuchikage: Sarutobi Hiruzen, you're already deceased, so naturally, you're not worried. Those of us who are alive have concerns!]

In the Rain Shinobi Village:

"Konan, it appears that the future Infinite Tsukuyomi project has indeed succeeded! We can truly create an ideal world of eternal peace!" Nagato exclaimed with excitement.

Konan shared his joy, but both of them were unaware that in the future, they had already perished, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan had nothing to do with them.

Due to the future card, the announcement of rewards in the live broadcast room was delayed.

Today, the Fourth Raikage's future card had been used three times, leaving nothing but ashes.

Rewards continued to be revealed.

Suddenly, an earring appeared in the live broadcast room.

[Potara Earrings: When worn, two individuals can merge into one, increasing their strength tenfold. However, they can never be separated and must remain combined.]

[Kinkaku (Golden Horn): So these are Potara earrings!]

[Ginkaku (Silver Horn): Big brother, these Potara earrings could be incredibly useful for us. With our strengths combined, we'd be nearly invincible. Even the Sage of Six Paths might not match us, right?]

[Fourth Raikage: Potara earrings, such a thing exists? The thirteenth place on the weapon list gets quite the reward!]

[Tsunade: Potara earrings are powerful, but their drawback is that they can never be separated, hence why they're ranked thirteenth. Still, if these fall into the hands of a certain ninja village, it would be like having a trump card!]

[Third Tsuchikage: Yes, if a village faces a crisis, and the two Kage-level individuals merge, their strength would reach an astounding level. Not only could they resolve crises, but they would also have an unbeatable powerhouse in the village's future. It's a significant sacrifice for the two ninjas who use the Potara earrings.]

[Senju Hashirama: Ah, Madara, what kind of strength would we achieve if we were to use these Potara earrings to merge?]

[Uchiha Madara: Get out of here, Hashirama. I wouldn't merge with you even if you begged me. Can't you stop saying such repulsive things?]

[Senju Hashirama: Just a thought.]

[Senju Tobirama: Fortunately, Kinkaku and Ginkaku are dead. They can cause endless trouble in the Pure Land World.]

[Second Raikage: We must ensure that Kinkaku and Ginkaku never return. Those two are dangerous and unpredictable. If they were to come back, using these Potara earrings would be disastrous!]

[Kinkaku: You're going to regret this, and if I have the chance, I'll make sure of it!]

[Ginkaku: Big Brother, I managed to obtain the Potara earrings first!]

The Potara earrings were taken by Ginkaku.

Subsequently, one valuable item after another was presented in the live broadcast room and claimed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku. They were allowed to choose a total of four items, all of considerable value.

Soon, it was Uchiha Itachi's turn to claim the reward for the The Sword of Totsuka.

...

"That man is about to receive a reward. I hope everything he gets is of no use to him; otherwise..."

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists, filled with anxiety.

Shortly after, the seventeenth-place reward appeared in the live broadcast room, a bottle containing a green substance.

[Dew of Life: It can heal physical injuries and extend one's lifespan.]

[Orochimaru: Itachi, you're fortunate to have received the item you need most.]

[Uchiha Shisui: Itachi, your Mangekyō Sharingan places a heavy burden on your body with prolonged use. The Dew of Life should help you return to your peak condition.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Hmph!]

[Might Guy: The Dew of Life may not be as potent as the Water of Life, but it's still valuable.]

Hoshigaki Kisame was quite content, saying, "Itachi, with the Dew of Life, your body will recover, and it could extend your lifespan."

"Not bad," replied Uchiha Itachi, his expression remaining impassive, as if he were not pleased at all.

Hoshigaki Kisame frowned, puzzled by Itachi's apparent lack of enthusiasm.

Soon after, Itachi claimed the Dew of Life but chose not to use it; instead, he stowed it away.

"Why aren't you using it, Itachi-san?" Hoshigaki Kisame inquired.

"It's unnecessary for now; my body can still endure. When the time comes, I'll use the Dew of Life," Itachi calmly explained, though Hoshigaki Kisame found it difficult to convince him otherwise.

Finally, the eighteenth-place reward on the weapon list was revealed, and a card appeared in the live broadcast room.

"Could it be another future card?" the audience wondered. But it seemed unlikely, given that the twelfth-place reward had already been a future card.

[Question and Answer Card: A randomly generated question is presented in the live broadcast room, and the owner of the card must answer it. Correct answers yield significant rewards, while incorrect answers result in no reward.]

The appearance of the Question and Answer Card intrigued many ninjas.

[Deidara: This seems interesting, Itachi. Use the Question and Answer Card quickly!]

[Hidan: With so many people in the live broadcast room, we can easily answer any question, right?]

[Fourth Raikage: If you get this question right, the rewards could surpass even the first-place prize, but the questions will undoubtedly be challenging!]

Hoshigaki Kisame also urged Itachi to use the Question and Answer Card.

"Fine, I'll use the Question and Answer Card," Itachi responded blankly.
