Chapter 109: The Contract with the Demon, Minato Returns to Konoha, and the Family Reunites!
"This is the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill, huh? I wonder how effective it will be," Kakashi said excitedly.
This was a treasure that even Ye Tian valued greatly. If Kakashi could absorb and refine it, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.
Without hesitation, Kakashi immediately swallowed the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill.
Boom!
A massive surge of energy erupted, enhancing his chakra and refining his body.
However, he wasn't as proficient as Ye Tian and couldn't fully utilize the energy of the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill, causing some of the energy to gradually dissipate.
Even so, Kakashi could feel his chakra rapidly increasing at an incredible speed, with his life energy surging continuously. Even his physical attributes had significantly improved to a considerable extent.
"The effects of the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill are astonishing!" Kakashi exclaimed in shock.
Moreover, it would take a long time to completely refine this Fourth-Rank Golden Pill. Once fully refined, his strength would definitely reach the super Kage-level.
"I made the right choice this time. If I had chosen the Rinnegan, it might not have been the best decision. Although the Rinnegan greatly enhances strength, my chakra is still less than that of a super Kage-level ninja. Activating the Rinnegan requires a lot of chakra, and I'd end up being chakra-depleted again!" Kakashi said.
Now, with an abundant amount of chakra and greatly enhanced combat power, he no longer feared the possibility of severe chakra depletion. With the absorption of the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill, this concern would never arise again.
Next, the reward for the fourth place on the Handsome Men List was announced.
This time, the reward went to Rimuru, the Slime King.
The first item was a black pill.
[Demon God Pill: Crafted with the blood of a Demon God and various demon medicines, it can greatly enhance a Demon King's power. It also has certain effects on a Demon God and can improve physical attributes.]
The second item was a set of weapons, including armor, boots, a robe, a black crown, and a pair of wings.
[Demon God Set: A set of gauntlet equipment made for a Demon God, capable of significantly boosting power.]
There was no doubt that both rewards were excellent.
"Which one should I choose?" Rimuru, the Slime King, hesitated.
The Demon God Set was impressive, but the Demon God Pill was also very appealing.
After much thought, he decided to choose the Demon God Pill.
Although the Demon God Set might be more valuable, it might not be suitable for him.
Besides, if he ever needed weapons in the future, he could ask his master to craft them. Plus, he already had the Evil God Blade, so he wasn't too reliant on weapons.
Therefore, the Demon God Pill, which could directly enhance his strength, was more appropriate for him.
So, he immediately chose the Demon God Pill.
"Extract the Demon God Pill!" Rimuru commanded.
Buzz!
A Demon God Pill was extracted from the livestream and fell into Rimuru's hands.
Then, Rimuru swallowed the Demon God Pill in one gulp, feeling his Demon King power rapidly increase.
The sensation of his strength soaring so quickly was intoxicating for Rimuru.
Soon, the reward for the fifth place on the Handsome Men List was about to be announced.
[Naruto Uzumaki: Dad's reward is coming up, I'm a bit excited!]
[Fourth Hokage: My luck shouldn't be bad, I hope I get something good!]
[Jiraiya: Minato, you're in fifth place, so the reward should be decent. Just hope that you don't get a question card or something like that. Even if you do, try not to choose it!]
[Fourth Hokage: Got it!]
Soon, Minato Namikaze's reward appeared.
The screen displayed two items.
The first was a talent.
[Intermediate Speed Talent: Can increase speed several times over.]
The second item was a contract.
[Demon God Contract: A deceased soul can sign a soul contract with someone in the living world, allowing them to enter the living world in the form of a demon god. However, they cannot make any changes to the living world and can only exert one-tenth of their power. Additionally, they cannot remain in the living world for long and must return to the Pure Land every seven days! Moreover, the demon god cannot leave a one-mile radius of the contract holder.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: The Demon God Contract—this should allow Dad to return to Konoha, right?]
[Fourth Hokage: Hahaha, if I choose the Demon God Contract, won't I be able to leave the Shinigami's stomach?]
[Hashirama Senju: Congratulations, Minato! Ah, if only I could get such a Demon God Contract as well. Although it's not as good as a full resurrection, at least I could stay in the Ninja World. I could return to the Pure Land every seven days and then re-enter the Ninja World. I'd be able to come and go freely!]
[Kakuzu: The Demon God Contract is great. If you could freely travel between the Ninja World and the Pure Land, wouldn't it be possible to bring things from the Pure Land to the Ninja World? Like bringing rewards from the Golden List back to the Ninja World?]
[Hidan: Kakuzu, that's a clever move, but it probably won't work because the Pure Land is vast, and finding other souls would be no easy task!]
[Fourth Raikage: That Intermediate Speed Talent is also great. The Fourth Hokage's speed is already terrifying. If it increases several times over, it'll be even more frightening!]
[Fourth Hokage: What do I need speed for? I'm already dead and stuck in the Shinigami's stomach. Increasing my speed by several times wouldn't be of any use.]
[Tsunade: I also suggest the Fourth Hokage choose the Demon God Contract!]
[Jiraiya: Minato, hurry and choose the Demon God Contract so we can have a good drink together!]
[Kushina Uzumaki: Honey, choose the Demon God Contract quickly! I'll go buy groceries now!]
[Fourth Hokage: Alright, I'll choose the Demon God Contract!]
"Choose the Demon God Contract!" Minato Namikaze said excitedly.
Swish!
The Demon God Contract fell into the Fourth Hokage's hands, and he immediately used it.
At that moment, he could choose any ninja in the Ninja World to bind with.
"I'll bind with my wife. My son will probably go on many adventures in the future, so I can't always stay by his side."
Minato quickly used the Demon God Contract and bound it to Kushina Uzumaki.
Buzz!
The Demon God Contract activated, and in the next moment, a beam of light pierced through the Shinigami's stomach, ignoring its rules. Minato left the Shinigami's stomach and entered the Ninja World's Konoha.
Konoha.
Kushina Uzumaki had just stepped out of the house, ready to go grocery shopping when a beam of light fell upon her.
In the next moment.
A figure gradually materialized, taking the form of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
"Minato!" Kushina exclaimed in excitement.
"Dear!"
Minato rushed forward and tightly embraced Kushina.
Even though he was a soul, he had become a god through a divine contract, granting him a divine body. Except for his low body temperature, he was indistinguishable from a living person.
Before long, Tsunade and Jiraiya also arrived. However, Kakashi was still refining the Fourth-Rank Golden Pill and didn't have time to come.
"Minato, this is practically the same as being resurrected!" Tsunade remarked in shock after examining him.
"Hahaha, I never thought I'd be able to return to Konoha one day!" Minato said happily.
"Where's Naruto?" Minato asked.
Although he often chatted with Naruto in the livestream room and had seen Naruto's livestream multiple times, this was the first time they would actually meet in person.
"Dad!"
Naruto appeared and walked over.
At that moment, Minato and Naruto exchanged a manly fist bump, the mutual understanding between them needing no words.
"I'll cook tonight! Everyone, come over to our house for dinner!" Kushina exclaimed excitedly.
This was the happiest day of her life; her family was finally reunited!
"Alright!" Tsunade and Jiraiya quickly nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, many ninjas in the Golden List Livestream knew that the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had returned to Konoha. They all congratulated him, while many of the deceased ninjas were filled with envy. After all, this situation was almost indistinguishable from resurrection.
