Chapter 19 : Kaguya's Fear

At this moment, the weapon rankings revealed the fourth-place entry.

[Fourth Place on the Weapon List: Lightsaber, wielder: Yasao]

[Lightsaber of Flames: Forged from materials like moonshadow stone, it harnesses the power of a thousand rays of light. This invisible sword is beyond the perception of ordinary eyes. It possesses an extraordinary sharpness, capable of piercing through anything, even spiritual shadows.]

The introduction of this weapon left everyone in astonishment.

[Fourth Raikage: An invisible sword!]

[Uchiha Itachi: It feels like there's nothing in the live broadcast room. It's as if this sword doesn't exist. Fighting against such a weapon, one would never know when the sword might strike!]

[Uchiha Madara: How did someone manage to craft such a weapon?]

[Terumi Mei: Who is this Yasao? The weapons he's creating are more terrifying than the next. Compared to these, Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swords are like child's play!]

[Fourth Raikage: Fifth Mizukage, if you don't want those Seven Ninja Swords, you can hand them over to me!]

[Terumi Mei: Get out!]

Swordsmen among the ninjas were captivated by the Lightsaber, yearning to possess it immediately, but unfortunately, they lacked the means.

Soon after, the third-ranked weapon was revealed.

[Third Place on the Weapon List: Angelic Scepter, wielder: Yasao]

[Angelic Scepter: Crafted from holy light stone and other materials, it holds three god-tier techniques: Healing Light, Augmented Light, and Resurrection Light. It can amplify the strength of all allies within a ten-mile radius, with no limit on the number of affected individuals. The Resurrection Light, which consumes half of the scepter's energy, can resurrect one person, with a total of three uses!]

The sight of this weapon drove all the ninjas in the Pure Land world to the brink of madness.

[Uchiha Madara: What? The Angelic Scepter can resurrect people!]

Uchiha Madara crushed a stone in the Pure Land in sheer excitement.

Resurrection! It had been his lifelong goal. Now, this weapon offered three chances at resurrection. What could this mean? 

Yasao could resurrect three individuals at will. If only he could secure a spot!

However, Yasao could not resurrect him either! Unless Uchiha Obito somehow managed to steal Yasao's Angelic Scepter, that was their only glimmer of hope.

[Third Hokage: Resurrection, is this for real? And three resurrections at that!]

[Sarutobi Asuma: Father, I will locate Lord Yasao and request him to resurrect you!]

[Naruto: If Lord Yasao could bring my parents back to life, it would be a dream come true!]

[Senju Hashirama: Resurrection? Is it genuinely possible? Brother Yasao, let's talk it over. Bring me back; the Pure Land world is dreadfully dull, devoid of life and light. The real world is preferable!]

[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, why would anyone want to resurrect you? You're overly optimistic!]

[Senju Hashirama: Whoever you resurrect, you can't resurrect Uchiha Madara!]

Everyone had someone they wished to resurrect. Tsunade longed to revive her lover, Senju Hashirama, and others had similar desires. 

Naruto and Sasuke both yearned to bring their parents back to life. Countless individuals harbored the same hopes, yet the Angelic Scepter remained out of their reach.

[Second Mizukage: There's still hope for resurrection. Perhaps treasures from the Golden List hold the key to resurrection.]

[Third Hokage: Yes, treasures of resurrection and life extension. We still have a chance!]

At this point, numerous viewers in the live broadcast room clamored to become Yasao's disciples, hoping to benefit from his powers. However, Yasao paid them no heed.

In the Rain Shinobi Village, Nagato gazed at the Angelic Scepter with longing in his eyes.

Konan remarked, "Nagato, the Angelic Scepter not only resurrects people but also heals all wounds. It could restore you to a normal, healthy life."

Nagato replied solemnly, "It may heal my wounds, but obtaining this weapon is beyond us."

Konan pondered for a moment before declaring, "I'll find a way to reach Yasao!"

Nagato's expression changed, and he warned her, "Don't attempt to seize the Angelic Scepter. You're no match for Yasao. If you confront him, you won't even have a chance to act."

Konan quickly added, "I'm willing to negotiate with him. If he agrees to heal you, I'll offer anything in exchange!"

"No need, Konan. I've grown accustomed to this."

Nagato claimed, but deep down, he wasn't entirely certain.

Was he genuinely accustomed to it? If he were, he wouldn't gaze at the Angelic Scepter with such longing.

"I can't allow it, I might still obtain Might Guy's Elixir of Life!" Konan whispered, knowing that forcing Might Guy into a desperate situation would lead him to consume the Elixir and unlock the Eight Gates, making her wish unattainable.

So, she refrained from taking action.

"Wait, maybe I can make it onto other lists and secure a treasure to heal my wounds," Nagato proposed.

Konan said hopefully, "Let's hope so."

A little while later, the second-ranked weapon was unveiled.

[Second Place on the Weapon List: Immortal Slayer Sword, wielder: Yasao]

[Immortal Slayer Sword: Forged from a fusion of dozens of metals, it possesses unparalleled sharpness. Once it locks onto a target, that target's head is as good as gone. The sword is nurtured within the Immortal Slayer Gourd, and the longer it gestates, the more formidable it becomes!]

Everyone stared at a gourd displayed on the live broadcast, with a sword suspended from its mouth. At that moment, it seemed as though the sword had locked onto their heads, ready to sever them in the next instant.

"The aura is terrifying. Even watching through the live broadcast, it feels like it could kill us!" Nagato exclaimed.

Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and others contemplated whether, if they ever encountered the Immortal Slayer Sword, it would indeed take their lives in an instant.

Deep within the moon, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's expression shifted.

"This weapon possesses the potential to kill me," she thought to herself.

Previously, she had been unfazed by the Evil God's Blade because she knew it couldn't kill her. The Lightsaber was frightening, but her Rinne-sharingan might detect its presence. 

Although the Hanlightsaber was invisible, its lethal capabilities were limited, and it couldn't kill her.

Her body was indestructible, impervious to conventional methods of harm.

However, the Immortal Slayer Sword offered a glimmer of hope, albeit a slim one.

"These formidable weapons only rank second. How formidable must the first weapon be?" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya pondered, a mix of fear and anticipation in her heart.
