Chapter 50 : Know Tōshirō?

"I'm a man!" Uchiha Ran exclaimed, a bit surprised.

He seemed to grasp Tōshirō's thought process.

"Cut~" Tōshirō pouted, slightly annoyed that his guess was wrong.

[Uzumaki Naruto: Hey, hey, what are you pretending to be? Even if you're strong, you can't talk nonsense. And you look younger than you claim.]

Uchiha Ran's current status in Naruto's mind was nearly as high as Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato. With Minato's fatherly halo and Sarutobi Hiruzen falling behind, Uchiha Ran's place in his heart was solidified.

After all, Uchiha Ran was the first to acknowledge him and wanted to help him resurrect his father.

Thus, when Tōshirō made disrespectful comments towards Uchiha Ran, Naruto couldn't help but intervene, despite witnessing Tōshirō's power in the video that played on the Gold List.

Shikai's Hyōrinmaru was definitely at Kage-level strength!

It's worth noting that when the inheritor from another world accessed the Gold List light curtain, they could also see the Gold List chat channel. This function lasted for only ten minutes during trade lottery interactions.

However, the lottery could disable this function, preventing Tōshirō from seeing the Ninja World Gold List chat channel during transactions.

Haku chose not to block Tōshirō from observing the Gold List chat channel, so Naruto's words were seen by him directly.

"Hey~ This is getting interesting!"

All over the Ninja World, Onoki, Fourth Kazekage Rasa, members of the Akatsuki, and many others watched with amusement.

Uchiha Ran used Flying Thunder God to appear beside Haku, deepening their suspicion of their relationship.

This person, ranked 15th in the Bloodline Limit List, possesses the Ice Release and has a chance to gain an inheritance from another world. With his bloodline limit, he was comparable to Konoha's Fifth Hokage.

Some even began to calculate the potential dynamics.

At this moment, Naruto chimed in. If he could provoke Tōshirō's dissatisfaction and thwart Haku's inheritance, it would work to his advantage. That would guarantee his placement on the list this time and a review for his physical recovery.

"Naruto!"

Kakashi immediately covered Naruto's mouth, though Gold List's chat was unaffected.

"Little one?"

A large sweat drop formed on Tōshirō's forehead, displaying his annoyance openly.

[ Uzumaki Naruto: Am I wrong? You look around the same age as my younger brother Konohamaru, who's ten years old, right? ]

Naruto's teasing tone spread through the atmosphere.

Tōshirō exploded in response.

Younger brother?

Ten years old?

"Kid, you've succeeded in getting on my nerves."

"Hey, Gold List, can I enter this ninja world!?" Tōshirō inquired to the Gold List, eager to teach Naruto a lesson.

The matter of age and height had clearly struck a nerve.

And Gold List provided a straightforward answer.

[Gold List Tip: If the inheritor possesses items like world-shuttle cards or becomes the master of their world, they can enter other worlds.]

"So that means I can't right now." Tōshirō grumbled, not pleased with this revelation.

Seeing this turn of events, the malicious observers took a moment to enjoy the situation.

"Tsk tsk, it looks like the Fourth Hokage's son isn't very sharp. It seems unlikely that Haku will get the inheritance. Even with Uchiha Ran's help, it's a lost cause. Mark my words." Onoki gloated.

Black Zetsu glanced at him, feeling as if he'd just set up a trap again!

"Boom!"

Within the sealed space within Naruto's abdomen, Kushina playfully smacked Namikaze Minato, her hair dancing in the air. "Minato, look at Naruto without our guidance and presence. He not only may not eat well, be properly dressed, or behave properly, but his brain seems to be lacking too."

Isn't he just like you?

Namikaze Minato muttered inwardly and chuckled, "Don't worry, you can see that Ran-kun is handling things calmly. It'll be fine."

Indeed, many had noticed that Uchiha Ran in the livestream room maintained a serene demeanor. Whether Naruto's actions were well-intentioned mischief or Tōshirō's annoyance, Uchiha Ran remained collected.

Did he possess an immense heart, or was he assured of victory?

However, what confidence did Uchiha Ran, a stranger from an unknown world with only partial information from the video, hold? Could he genuinely help Tōshirō grow up?

"Naruto, you should apologize to Little Frost Boy. Despite his youthful appearance, he's actually over 130 years old and stronger than Jiraiya. You should show some respect." Uchiha Ran spoke with a smile.

His words cast a sudden hush over the entire ninja world.

Over 130 years old, Tōshirō?

"So young and yet over a hundred and thirty years old!" Orochimaru's eyes widened in astonishment.

Even Uchiha Madara, Uzumaki Nagato, and the Ōtsutsuki brothers felt a stir of unease.

Tōshirō appeared to be eight or nine years old.

Wait, how did Uchiha Ran know Tōshirō's age?

And what on earth was "Little Frost Boy"?

"You actually know my age!?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Ran's reference, Tōshirō was tempted to shut off the light curtain. Only Hinamori Momo was allowed to use that nickname for him.

He caught the precise mention of his age and managed to control his emotions.

According to Gold List's explanation, the Shinobi world where Haku lived and the world Tōshirō lived in were separated by a vast expanse of tens of thousands of worlds.

How could Uchiha Ran possibly know him so well?

"Yeah, I know you!"

Uchiha Ran's face held a gentle smile as he spoke slowly, "Your age falls between 130 and 140 years, but when compared to Soul Society's timeline and human lifespan, you're actually only thirteen or fourteen. Yet, you appear to be about nine years old."

With the precise information laid out, Tōshirō's irritation escalated, but his curiosity about Uchiha Ran grew stronger.

[Uzumaki Naruto: Oh, so this little frost melon is similar to me after all. Hey, what kind of outfit are you wearing?]

Despite Kakashi's attempt to restrain him, Naruto continued his commentary through the Gold List.

Tōshirō's expression cooled rapidly, visible to all.

If it weren't for his interest in the Otherworld and his respect for Gold List, he might have terminated this conversation long ago.

The balance was teetering on the edge and now reached its tipping point.

"Hmph, you want to claim my inheritance."

"Let me tell you, it's impossible!"

Tōshirō crossed his arms, icy determination emanating from him. He seemed prepared to conclude the exchange.

However, at that very moment, Uchiha Ran calmly uttered two names: "Hinamori Momo!"

"Aizen Sōsuke."

Tōshirō felt as if his entire body had been paralyzed, frozen in place.

"How do you know these names!?"
