Chapter 22 : Senzu Bean Seed

The Immortal Soul Realm had been attained, and Yasao had addressed his previous shortcomings.

Although he had previously deduced techniques to bolster his soul's strength, their progress was slow, pale in comparison to the swift advancement facilitated by treasures like the Soul Golden Fruit.

"The Golden List is remarkable. It can rapidly enhance my strength. Perhaps I can break free from the confines of the Six Paths level, and my hopes of transcending it rest upon this."

Yasao murmured.

At this moment, the reward for the second place on the Weapons List was also revealed.

**Hum!**

A golden leaf materialized in the live broadcast room.

[Enlightenment Golden Leaf: When worn, it enhances understanding, making it easier to learn various ninjutsu, develop new ninjutsu and secret techniques, significantly boosts wisdom, and shields against various negative influences.]

The second treasure was a seed.

[Senzu Bean Seeds: Planting these seeds gives rise to Senzu beans that can instantly restore physical strength, mend regular injuries, replenish Chakra, and even rejuvenate soul energy.]

Both the Enlightenment Golden Leaf and Senzu Bean Seeds were high-value items.

[Fourth Raikage: That Enlightenment Golden Leaf is incredible! It makes learning various ninjutsu so easy!]

[Tsunade: With the Enlightenment Golden Leaf, you'd practically be omnipotent, like a sensei, mastering Ninjutsu of all attributes!]

[Senju Hashirama: Ninjutsu is unnecessary; I'll simply obliterate you with my Wood Style!]

[Senju Tobirama: Big Brother, I think the Enlightenment Golden Leaf suits you.]

[Senju Hashirama: Tobirama, I have no need for mastering every ninjutsu! What use would I have for it? Developing new ninjutsu, perhaps? Hehe, I've kicked the bucket, but I'm not resorting to that!]

[Senju Tobirama: The Enlightenment Golden Leaf enhances wisdom, and Big Brother, you've got some IQ deficits that need fixing with it!]

[Senju Hashirama: Tobirama, are you asking for a thrashing, mocking your older brother like that?]

[Terumi Mei: Which treasure do you think Yasao will choose? Senzu Bean Seeds can grow Senzu beans. They're incredible, offering instant restoration of physical strength and Chakra, extremely beneficial in battle. With enough Senzu beans, you could fight indefinitely.]

[Might Guy: Kakashi, this would be perfect for you. Your Chakra is limited, and you tend to run out during fights. With plenty of Senzu beans, you could use various ninjutsu without worrying about Chakra depletion.]

[Kakashi: Indeed, Senzu beans are quite valuable. If Yasao chooses them, I'd be interested in buying some!]

[Orochimaru: Personally, I find the Enlightenment Golden Leaf more valuable. With it, I could conduct numerous experiments. While Senzu bean seeds are valuable, they're of no use in situations where you can't overpower your foes. They only shine in evenly matched battles.]

[Golden Horn: All these treasures are excellent. The four weapons belonging to our group are on the list. The list's ranking isn't low, so the rewards should be impressive.]

[Silver Horn: Brother, I don't desire treasures; I only want resurrection, to vanquish all adversaries, and bask in the Physical World's splendor, escaping this torment!]

[Golden Horn: Yasao, can't you use the Angel Scepter to bring people back to life? We're willing to give you all our treasures and rewards, in exchange for a chance at resurrection. Would that work?]

However, Yasao paid them no heed.

At this juncture, Yasao was contemplating his choice of treasure.

The Enlightenment Golden Leaf was undoubtedly exceptional, ranking higher in value compared to the bean seeds, as there were numerous alternatives to the seeds.

But upon careful consideration, Yasao relinquished the Enlightenment Golden Leaf.

Because his deduction system surpassed the worth of the Enlightenment Golden Leaf, making it essentially worthless, save for bestowing it upon someone else.

The Senzu bean seeds still held merit for him. Although the Angel Scepter could mend injuries, it couldn't replenish energy, whereas the Senzu beans could restore his Chakra and other forms of energy.

The Senzu beans that grew from these seeds were likely similar to those in a particular anime. If they possessed the same effects, they would greatly assist him even beyond the Six Paths level.

"I'll choose the Senzu bean seeds!"

Yasao decided.

Without hesitation, he obtained the Senzu bean seeds.

**Hum!**

A pouch of Senzu bean seeds manifested before him.

"Garaga!"

Yasao called out.

Garaga promptly approached Yasao. "Master, what are your orders?"

"Plant this pouch of Senzu bean seeds. Remember, tend to them carefully. If anything goes amiss, I'll nourish the Senzu beans with your dragon's blood," Yasao commanded.

"Yes, Master!"

Garaga took the pouch of Senzu bean seeds to a nearby mountain, where there was a medicinal garden, and where Garaga usually cared for things. 

Assuming human form, Garaga meticulously planted the pouch of Senzu bean seeds, tending to them with water and fertilizer.

Yasao held no worries about the safety of the Senzu bean seeds. Their vitality was incredibly robust, reassuring him that Garaga could manage them adequately.

In the chat room,

[Third Hokage: Yasao selected Immortal Bean Seeds and gave up the Enlightenment Golden Leaf; what a shame!]

[Fourth Raikage: What a shame indeed, Yasao isn't lacking in Enlightenment Golden Leaves. I'm envious of his wealth and the treasures he's acquired.]

[Kakuzu: We can't fathom the world of true tycoons. I lack a decent weapon; I'm just trying to save up. It's quite pitiful!]

[Kakashi: Yasao chose Senzu bean seeds, perhaps with the intention of selling Senzu beans in the future. That could be fantastic!]

[Might Guy: Indeed, items that restore physical strength are immensely beneficial for a Taijutsu ninja like me!]

Subsequently, the rewards for the third, fourth, and others were revealed one by one, each enticing enough to stir jealousy.

Finally, it was time for the ninth place on the Weapons List.

The ninth place belonged to the Sage of Six Paths.

Somewhere in the ninja world,

The Sage of Six Paths observed the Golden List. He was in the live broadcast room as well.

"It's my turn now. I wonder what the reward will be?"

Although the Sage of Six Paths had passed away, his soul had achieved immortality, allowing him to freely traverse between the Pure Land and the Ninja World, and even between dimensions.

He could resurrect himself anytime he desired.

However, he refrained from doing so. Resurrection would bring too much attention and potentially attract the Ōtsutsuki clan, which he was keen to avoid.

He was well aware of his own strength; not even his mother rivaled him, yet his mother feared the Ōtsutsuki clan, and consequently, so did he.

Thus, hiding behind the scenes and exerting control seemed more appealing to him.

Even if things went awry, he could simply retreat to the Pure Land World, which was a desirable option.

[Great Toad Sage: The reward for the Sage of Six Paths, ninth on the list, is about to be unveiled. I wonder what it will be?]

[White Snake Sage: It should be something remarkable; after all, it's ninth place!]

Amidst everyone's eager anticipation, the reward for ninth place was revealed!
