Chapter 129.2: He Stepped into the Six Paths Level!

The first reward was a thunderbird.

[Void Thunderbird: Can be fused into the body as a mark. During battle, it can be summoned to fight, or one can merge with it, using its abilities. The Void Thunderbird possesses incredible speed and spatial attributes, allowing it to travel through space.]

The second reward was a secret technique.

[Infinite Thunder Body: A top-tier lightning technique. Once mastered, it grants an extraordinarily powerful physique, with speed far exceeding that of other ninja at the same level. It also greatly enhances one's Lightning Release chakra power.]

There was no doubt that both rewards were perfect for the Fourth Raikage.

Seeing these two rewards, the Fourth Raikage wished he could have them both.

[Killer Bee: Big bro, the Void Thunderbird is kinda like a tailed beast. If you choose it, it's like you'll become a jinchūriki too!]

[Tsunade: The Void Thunderbird seems very powerful, with terrifying speed and spatial travel. It's definitely the dream summon for any Lightning Release ninja.]

[Sasuke Uchiha: I really like the Void Thunderbird!]

[Kakashi: I like it too, but it's not my turn!]

[Hashirama Senju: The Infinite Thunder Body is also excellent. Once trained, it would quickly boost your power. However, it probably requires time to master, while the Void Thunderbird would immediately enhance your strength, so there are trade-offs.]

In the Raikage's office in the Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage, Darui, and several other Cloud ninja were present.

"What do you all think I should choose?"

The Fourth Raikage asked.

Darui quickly replied, "Raikage-sama, I think you should choose the Void Thunderbird. Though the Infinite Thunder Body is excellent, it requires training from the beginning. And we don't know how long the Golden List will stay in the ninja world. The Void Thunderbird can instantly enhance your power, potentially elevating you to the Six Paths level. When the rankings refresh next time, you might enter the Six Paths ranking and get even better rewards. Training the Infinite Thunder Body might take too long to reach the Six Paths level. In the long term, the Infinite Thunder Body might be better, but if you grow stronger now, it'll be easier to climb the rankings later, and you might get another secret technique to enhance your power, so there's no need to fixate on the Infinite Thunder Body."

"Well said, Darui. I'll choose the Void Thunderbird!"

Immediately, the Fourth Raikage extracted the Void Thunderbird from the Golden List Livestream.

Boom!!!!

The Void Thunderbird appeared from the void, transforming into a streak of light that entered the Fourth Raikage's body, leaving a mark on his chest.

As it was a Golden List reward, the fusion happened quickly, and the Fourth Raikage fully controlled it.

Boom!!!

The fusion with the Void Thunderbird triggered changes in the Raikage's Lightning Release chakra, and the invisible restraints on his power were broken.

At that moment, the Fourth Raikage was fully aware that he had stepped into the Six Paths level.

"Raikage-sama, please show us the Void Thunderbird's abilities!" A curious jōnin requested.

"Alright!"

The Fourth Raikage nodded, eager to test his new powers.

He led the group of ninja outside to an open area.

There, the Fourth Raikage summoned the Void Thunderbird and then merged with it.

After merging, he unleashed one of its abilities—Void Thunder Domain!

Boom!!!!

In an instant, an area spanning several hundred meters was turned into a sea of thunder. With a single thought, everything within that range could be annihilated.

This scene left the Cloud Village ninja in awe.

Next, the Fourth Raikage tested his own techniques, each far surpassing his previous capabilities.

"Now let's try void travel!"

The Fourth Raikage's body flashed with lightning, and in an instant, he crossed through space.

"Incredible speed! So this is void travel. Back then, the Fourth Hokage used the Flying Thunder God technique's spatial travel to suppress me. Now, I have this ability too, without needing the Flying Thunder God kunai as a marker." The Fourth Raikage said excitedly.

Swish swish swish!!!

The Fourth Raikage continuously shuttled through the air, leaving the Cloud Village ninja in amazement.

"Raikage-sama is invincible!"

Many Kage-level ninja cheered, marveling at the fact that their village now had a Six Paths-level powerhouse.

In the Golden List Livestream, the reward for the fourth place on the Kage-level ranking was announced.

[Hashirama Senju: Hahaha! It's finally my turn. This time, I'm becoming a Six Paths-level powerhouse too!]

[Uchiha Madara: Heh, Hashirama, you might not necessarily get a treasure that enhances your strength. You could get a support-type item, and then don't even think about becoming Six Paths level!]

[Senju Hashirama: Get lost!]

Soon, two rewards appeared on the screen.

The first reward was a Fourth-Rank Golden Pill.

[Fourth-Rank Golden Pill: Greatly increases Sage Chakra, can also refine the body, extends lifespan by 300 years, and has healing effects.]

The second reward was a new physique.

[Evergreen Sage Body: One of the top-tier Sage bodies, grants a long lifespan, rapid healing ability, and greatly amplifies Wood Release techniques!]

[Senju Hashirama: Hahaha, the rewards are great, I'm very satisfied! But it's a bit hard to choose!]

[Senju Tobirama: Big brother, the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill should help you break through the bottleneck and become Six Paths level. However, the Evergreen Sage Body should do the same. If the Evergreen Sage Body merges with your current physique, you'd practically become immortal, and your strength would skyrocket, also reaching Six Paths level. As for lifespan, the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill extends it by 300 years, but the Evergreen Sage Body grants a long lifespan, which may vary from person to person, but it's likely not less than 300 years!]

[Tsunade: Grandpa, I think you should choose the Evergreen Sage Body. After all, it can also make you reach Six Paths level, and its potential is great. If you get resurrected one day, you could cultivate quickly. With the Evergreen Sage Body, your future potential will be immense!]

[Uchiha Madara: Lucky guy, hmph!]

[Third Hokage: Congratulations, Lord Hashirama!]

[Kakashi: Congratulations, First Hokage!]

[Might Guy: Congratulations, First Hokage!]

Everyone could tell that no matter which reward Senju Hashirama chose, he would definitely reach Six Paths level.

Without hesitation, Senju Hashirama chose the Evergreen Sage Body.

Buzz!!!!!!

The Evergreen Sage Body was extracted by Senju Hashirama and immediately merged with his soul.

In the next moment, the strength of his soul increased, and it contained an overwhelmingly powerful force. His Wood Release abilities also saw a tremendous boost.

This breakthrough shattered the bottleneck, making him a Six Paths-level powerhouse.

Moreover, he could clearly feel how long his lifespan would be if he were resurrected.

"At least 800 years!"

Senju Hashirama thought to himself.

It was obvious that his physique was highly compatible with the Evergreen Sage Body, allowing him to achieve such a significant enhancement.

"I made the right choice. I hope I can be resurrected soon!" Senju Hashirama muttered.

Soon, the reward for the sixth place on the Kage-level rankings was announced, and this spot belonged to Uchiha Obito.

Buzz!

Two rewards appeared on the screen one after the other.

The first reward was an eye.

[Magic Eye: Can be fused into one's own eyes, enhances any ocular techniques, nullifies attacks from other ocular techniques, and protects the soul.]

Many people were familiar with this Magic Eye, as Kumoko also had one, and it had proven to be quite effective.

"Uchiha Obito's reward includes a Magic Eye as well!"

Kumoko widened her evil eyes, surprised.

She liked the Magic Eye very much. She only needed one. If Uchiha Obito chose the Magic Eye, should she think about snatching it from him?

The second item was a heart.

[Demon God's Heart: Can be fused into one's heart, transforms the body into that of a Demon King, and grants a random Demon King skill.]

The choice between the Magic Eye and the Demon God's Heart.

Uchiha Obito didn't hesitate.

"I choose the Demon God's Heart!"

Excitement gleamed in Uchiha Obito's eyes.

Once he obtained the Demon God's Heart, he would transform into a Demon King, which would naturally make him a Six Paths-level existence.

Additionally, if he merged with the Demon God's Heart, his heart would change, possibly allowing him to break Uchiha Madara's curse seal and gain his freedom.

Though this was just a possibility, he had to try. Even if he failed, becoming Six Paths level wouldn't be a loss at all.

Buzz!!!

Uchiha Obito extracted the Demon God's Heart from the livestream and immediately tore open his chest with one hand, pressing the Demon God's Heart into it, beginning the fusion with his own heart.

He couldn't disobey Uchiha Madara's orders, nor could he commit suicide or remove the curse seal on his heart, but by merging with the Demon God's Heart, if the curse seal was destroyed, it wouldn't be his problem.

"Hopefully, this works!"

Uchiha Obito thought to himself.
