Chapter 073: The Sword of Nunoboko Broken - Could It Be Because of Naruto's Talk-no-Jutsu?
"Master, are you going to choose option A?" Kumoko asked.
Given the current situation, option A seemed more likely to be correct. Of course, if they were guessing blindly, option C might be right, but C seemed the least likely. After all, the person who performed the Reanimation that brought Uchiha Madara back couldn't possibly be Tobirama Senju!
"I'm not choosing A or C. I'm going with B, Kabuto Yakushi!" Ye Tian replied.
"Kabuto Yakushi?" Kumoko was puzzled. This character was barely known; he made a brief appearance in the last livestream but was just a minor role without any significant presence. He rarely spoke in the livestreams, making him almost invisible. Could he have been the one to perform the Reanimation on Uchiha Madara?
Ye Tian didn't explain further. He couldn't exactly say he had read the original work and knew the Naruto storyline, as that would be hard to justify and would only lead to more questions from Kumoko. So, he simply said, "Kumoko, I just have a feeling it's him!"
With that, Ye Tian selected option B.
Livestream Room
[Ye Tian: I choose B, Kabuto Yakushi!]
This choice surprised many. They had expected Ye Tian to either choose the most likely answer, A (Orochimaru), or take a gamble on the least likely C (Tobirama Senju). That was typical of Ye Tian's style. But picking Kabuto, a character with almost no presence but still some potential, was unexpected.
"Orochimaru, Ye Tian chose you. He thinks you'll use Reanimation to bring back Uchiha Madara in the future. What do you think?" Orochimaru asked his assistant, Kabuto.
Kabuto bowed his head, "Orochimaru-sama, if it really was me who performed the Reanimation on Uchiha Madara, it's all thanks to your excellent guidance!"
"Hahaha, exactly! It shows I wasn't wrong about you. You truly have talent!" Orochimaru laughed.
[Kakashi: Choosing Kabuto is an unexpected move!]
[Fourth Raikage: The chances of this being correct are slim. I think Ye Tian might actually get this one wrong!]
[Mei Terumi: The safest choice would've been Orochimaru. If it were me, I'd definitely pick Orochimaru!]
[Deidara: Yeah, I also think Orochimaru is the most likely to do something like this!]
[Orochimaru: Hahaha, I hope it's me too!]
Just then, the correct answer was revealed.
[Congratulations, Ye Tian, you were right! The correct answer is B, Kabuto Yakushi!]
"Kabuto, it really was you who performed the Reanimation on Uchiha Madara! Even I couldn't find Madara's body. It seems you ultimately did!" Orochimaru remarked in surprise.
"I'm quite surprised myself!" Kabuto said, adjusting his glasses.
[Fourth Raikage: It really was Kabuto! Ye Tian's luck is incredible. He even guessed this correctly!]
[Hidan: That had to be a lucky guess!]
[Kakuzu: Even if it was a guess, it's still impressive! Look at everyone else in the livestream, they all got it wrong, but he wasn't influenced by anyone's opinion and directly chose Kabuto, successfully answering correctly!]
[Tsunade: Ye Tian has already answered two questions correctly. Even if he gets no more right, he'll still get a decent reward. If he answers the third question correctly, he'll receive an incredible reward!]
[Hiashi Hyuga: I thought these questions were too tricky for anyone to get all three right, but Ye Tian might actually have a shot!]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: I suspect Ye Tian is cheating!]
[Deidara: Cheating? That's possible. Maybe he has a way to see the future!]
[Great Toad Sage: Prophecy won't help. My Toad Sage's foresight is even blocked. The Golden List automatically disables any precognitive abilities.]
[Jiraiya: If the Great Toad Sage says so, then Ye Tian must be purely guessing. Maybe he's just really lucky and can guess everything right?]
Soon, the third question appeared.
This was the final question. If Ye Tian answered correctly, he would receive an incredible reward!
This time, it wasn't a direct question but started with a scene. In the scene, Uchiha Obito had absorbed the Ten-Tails and became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, entering Sage of the Six Paths mode with the Truth-Seeking Balls floating around him, exuding an overwhelming aura.
[Kakashi: Is this Uchiha Obito? What happened to him?]
[Fourth Raikage: When Uchiha Obito first appeared, half his body looked like Danzo's right arm. It must be cells from Hashirama Senju, right?]
[Hashirama Senju: My cells have become so widespread; it feels like everyone has my cells!]
[Third Hokage: Ahem, Lord Hashirama, Konoha once researched your cells, and Orochimaru stole quite a bit. Plus, with so many people researching them, it's not surprising they spread. Also, Hashirama cells can be endlessly cultivated, so the supply is almost unlimited!]
[Kakashi: Obito was once crushed under a boulder and should've been a goner, but it seems Hashirama's cells formed half of his body and saved him!]
[Tsunade: What did Obito absorb afterward? He looks like the Sage of the Six Paths.].
[Nine-Tails: That's the Six Paths mode, and the black spheres are the Truth-Seeking Balls. You've seen them before.]
[Kakashi: So, in the future, Obito absorbs something and transforms into this Six Paths mode?]
[Nine-Tails: That's the Ten-Tails! We nine-tailed beasts were split from the Ten-Tails. By merging us, the Ten-Tails can be revived.]
[Shukaku: Damn, are we all going to get captured and merged by the Akatsuki into the Ten-Tails?]
[Gyūki: That's just one possible future. Don't take it too seriously!]
[Fourth Raikage: At this point, Uchiha Obito must have Six Paths-level strength, and he probably isn't weak among Six Paths-level fighters!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Wow, I see myself! That must be the Nine-Tails mode Kurama mentioned. I look pretty strong in the future!]
[Hashirama Senju: Huh, it looks like I've been resurrected with Reanimation on the battlefield!]
[Tobirama Senju: Big brother, I've been resurrected too!]
Soon, the scene shifted to Hashirama and Tobirama teaming up against Six Paths Obito. Then, a shocking moment occurred.
The three engaged in a swift battle!
Rip!!!
Six Paths Obito, with terrifying speed and strength, shattered half the bodies of Hashirama and Tobirama. However, since they were in Reanimation form, they didn't die.
[Hashirama Senju: Haha, I got beaten by Obito?]
[Tobirama Senju: In Reanimation form, our strength definitely isn't at its peak. Besides, Uchiha Obito's power has increased many times over by absorbing the Ten-Tails, making him strong even among Six Paths-level fighters, so it's normal to be defeated!]
[Nagato: Did Obito really become that powerful?]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: Such terrifying power! This is Six Paths-level strength. Even though the First and Second Hokage weren't at their peak, Obito could still crush them instantly. Even if they were at their peak, teaming up might not be enough to defeat Six Paths Obito.]
[Kakashi: The Ten-Tails appeared, so does that mean all nine-tailed beasts were captured? But Naruto seems fine!]
[Fourth Raikage: Yeah, once a tailed beast is extracted, the Jinchuriki dies, right?]
[Gyūki: There's a way to avoid it by leaving some of the tailed beast's chakra in the body. I can do that. Alternatively, this Ten-Tails might not be complete. For example, using Nine-Tails' chakra along with other tailed beasts and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path could revive the Ten-Tails.]
[Nine-Tails: Exactly. For example, Kinkaku and Ginkaku had my chakra, and Minato also has some. Any of these could be used to revive the Ten-Tails.]
Soon, the scene changed again, showing Uchiha Obito using a Truth-Seeking Ball to create the Sage of Six Paths' weapon—the Sword of Nunoboko!
Everyone recognized the Sword of Nunoboko. It was ranked 11th on the weapon list and was known for its world-creating power, being nearly indestructible.
"This is the Sage of Six Paths' divine weapon, the Sword of Nunoboko. Let me use it to end everything!"
Uchiha Obito floated in the air, saying these words, full of supreme dominance.
[Senju Hashirama: Whoa, that's some serious boasting!]
[Senju Tobirama: The Sword of Nunoboko of the Sage of Six Paths... Who can stop Uchiha Obito wielding such a weapon?]
[Fourth Raikage: Keep watching. I wonder what the problem is this time?]
