Chapter 110: Tsunade Awakens Wood Release!

Chapter 110: Tsunade Awakens Wood Release!

Since the Golden List began revealing rankings, Uchiha Madara's strength has been continuously increasing. Even though he hasn't been resurrected yet, his power growth remains unaffected. For most of the deceased, enhancing their power is meaningless, but Madara has been plotting his resurrection all along, and the future even shows that he will succeed in doing so. Therefore, he places great importance on his own strength.

Thus, Madara swallowed a Third-Rank Golden Pill Pill in one gulp. Despite being in a soul state, he can still enhance his chakra. By the time he is resurrected, his chakra level will be nearly the same as it is now.

Boom!

The power of the Third-Rank Golden Pill Pill erupted, shattering the barrier that had been holding him between the super-Kage level and the Six Paths level.

"Six Paths level chakra!" Madara exclaimed with excitement. However, since he lacks a physical body, he can't be considered to have truly reached the Six Paths level. Once he is fully resurrected and regains his Rinnegan, then he will truly be at the Six Paths level. Moreover, when he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, his strength will be at the peak of the Six Paths level, possibly even rivaling the Sage of Six Paths himself.

Next, it was time for the reward of the tenth place on the Handsome Men List. At this moment, Naruto was extremely excited! Although this wasn't his first time making it on a list—his Sage Art: Rasenshuriken had appeared on the Ninjutsu List—this marked his second time being ranked.

Two items appeared on the screen. The first was a pill.

[Hundred Blood Gold Pill: A pill refined from the blood of one hundred powerful creatures, combined with numerous medicinal herbs. It can temper the body, greatly enhancing physical attributes.]

The second item was also a pill.

[Enlightenment Pill: Temporarily greatly enhances comprehension ability and may even permanently slightly increase it.]

Might Guy: "Naruto's rewards are pretty good. Either choice is beneficial."

Sakura Haruno: "I think the Enlightenment Pill suits Naruto. He's too dense. If he takes it, he might suddenly become super intelligent, and even permanently increase his intelligence, making him smarter in the long run."

Tsunade: "Sakura, don't give careless advice. Unless it's a critical moment, the Enlightenment Pill won't be that helpful. I think Naruto is better suited for the Hundred Blood Gold Pill. Naruto prefers close combat, and greatly improving his physical attributes would be very beneficial for his combat strength."

Jiraiya: "That's right. The Hundred Blood Gold Pill is more suitable for Naruto. As a tenth place reward, it would raise his physical attributes to a terrifying level."

Naruto Uzumaki: "I agree, the Hundred Blood Gold Pill sounds pretty good."

Naruto then extracted the Hundred Blood Gold Pill from the livestream space and swallowed it immediately.

Boom!

The power of the Hundred Blood Gold Pill exploded, and an immense force of vitality tempered his body. At that moment, Naruto felt his strength surging rapidly, increasing at an astonishing speed. Due to the rapid enhancement of his physical attributes, his control over his strength weakened. His body's pressure on the surrounding air caused immense shockwaves, and even a casual movement created an air cannon.

"Tsunade, in shock, said, 'Naruto's improvement is enormous. If this is the tenth place reward, how much will Kakashi improve?'"

Previously, the top ten rewards were mostly occupied by the Ōtsutsuki clan, as well as Ye Tian and Kumoko, leaving the others with little understanding of how powerful these rewards were. But now, Tsunade finally understood just how terrifying these rewards could be!

However, considering the enhancement from the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, she realized this improvement wasn't entirely outrageous. After all, the Smooth-Smooth Fruit can be continually developed to unlock more power, and her strength will keep growing. These pills, on the other hand, provide a one-time enhancement. If such an immediate power boost didn't happen, it would be abnormal!

"After this enhancement, Naruto might possess power close to the Six Paths level, and Kakashi should also reach the super-Kage level. With a bit more development of my Smooth-Smooth Fruit's power, I might also step into the super-Kage level," Tsunade mused.

The thought of Konoha's current strength filled her with pride. Konoha was becoming more and more powerful!

Time passed, and soon it was Hyuga Neji's turn as the twenty-first place reward was announced. Two rewards appeared on the screen. The first was a Question Card, and the second was a bottle of Body Tempering Pills, which could be used to enhance physical attributes.

Compared to the top ten rewards, the Body Tempering Pills were considerably inferior.

"Which treasure should I choose?" Hyuga Neji pondered.

This was his second time being ranked. Not long ago, he had been continuously enhancing his strength, finally managing to barely make it onto the Doujutsu List with his Byakugan. However, the rewards for the lower ranks weren't great and didn't improve his strength much. Thus, he was eager to increase his power quickly. If he chose the Body Tempering Pills again, he might remain at the Jōnin level and not know when he could reach Kage-level strength.

"I choose the Question Card!" Neji decided.

Naruto Uzumaki: "Neji chose the Question Card; that's a big gamble!"

Hiashi Hyuga: "I respect Neji's choice. If he answers correctly, he could receive an incredible reward. Taking a risk isn't a bad thing."

Tsunade: "I just hope he doesn't get everything wrong. There's a punishment, after all!"

Hizashi Hyuga: "I believe in Neji's luck; it shouldn't be that bad!"

Hinata Hyuga: "Good luck, Neji!"

Fourth Raikage: "Neji, you finally got a high ranking, and you dare choose a Question Card? You should've gone with the Body Tempering Pills. Although you wouldn't reach Kage-level strength, you'd at least become one of the top Jōnin!"

Mei Terumī: "Neji, good luck! Sometimes you have to take a gamble. After all, it's not like you're missing out on a treasure like the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!"

Fourth Raikage: "Fifth Mizukage, are you taking a jab at me?"

Mei Terumī: "I was just casually speaking; don't take it personally, Fourth Raikage."

Fourth Raikage: "Hmph!"

At this moment, Hyuga Neji used a Question Card. The Question Card would select two questioners, and soon, the first one appeared.

[The first questioner is Hyuga Hinata.]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Wow, Hinata is the first questioner!]

[Uzumaki Kushina: As expected of my future daughter-in-law. Three of our family members have become questioners; this must be fate!]

[Fourth Raikage: What a stroke of luck! Hyuga Hinata will definitely ask the easiest question!]

[Mei Terumi: The first question is basically a freebie. It seems Hyuga Neji will at least get one question right, so he won't be punished!]

[Uchiha Madara: Lucky kid!]

[Senju Hashirama: Hahaha, our Konoha ninja are still pretty fortunate. Neji, do your best and try to get both questions right so you can get some amazing rewards!]

"What question should I ask?" Hinata thought.

Finally, she asked this question:

[Hyuga Hinata: Who do I like the most?]

[Uzumaki Kushina: It's obvious that my daughter-in-law likes my son Naruto the most!]

[Tsunade: This is definitely a freebie!]

[Fourth Hokage: This question is indeed very simple. Everyone knows the answer!]

[Hyuga Neji: The person Hinata likes the most is Uzumaki Naruto.]

Soon, the result was revealed.

[Congratulations, Hyuga Neji answered correctly!]
