Chapter 144: Naruto's Choice!

Soon, two reward items appeared on the screen.

The first reward item was a golden pill.

[Fourth-Rank Golden Pill: Greatly increases senjutsu chakra, enhances physical constitution, adds 300 years to lifespan, and has the effect of healing injuries.]

The second reward item was a drop of blood essence.

[Sky-Swallowing Toad Blood Essence: Essence blood from a top-tier divine beast, suitable for toads. After refining, it greatly strengthens the body, increases strength, and has a chance to awaken the Sky-Swallowing Toad bloodline.]

At Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage hesitated, unsure which reward to choose.

"What do you think we should pick?" the Great Toad Sage asked Fukasaku and Shima, who were beside him.

"Grand Elder, we dare not speak rashly," Fukasaku quickly replied.

"It's fine, just speak your minds!" the Great Toad Sage said.

After a moment of thought, Fukasaku said, "I think the Sky-Swallowing Toad Blood Essence is better, as it suits us toads perfectly. Besides, it's the blood essence of a top-tier divine beast. If the bloodline awakens, we'll have hit the jackpot!"

"Well said, I was thinking the same!" The Great Toad Sage nodded slightly.

Without further hesitation, he chose the Sky-Swallowing Toad Blood Essence.

"Extract the Sky-Swallowing Toad Blood Essence!"

The Great Toad Sage extracted the blood essence from the livestream and swallowed it in one gulp.

As time passed, the blood essence gradually transformed the Great Toad Sage's body.

"There's hope I might awaken the Sky-Swallowing Toad bloodline!" the Great Toad Sage anticipated.

If he successfully awakened the bloodline, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

[White Snake Sage: That old toad chose the Sky-Swallowing Toad Blood Essence, huh? Looks like he wants top-tier divine beast blood essence too! But even if you get the Sky-Swallowing Toad bloodline, you'll still fall short of me, a divine beast Soaring Snake!]

[Fukasaku: You never know! Bloodlines, physiques, and species may give advantages, but they don't decide everything. Our Grand Elder could surpass you!]

[White Snake Sage: We'll see about that!]

[Asura Ōtsutsuki: The next reward is mine. I wonder what I'll get?]

[Indra Ōtsutsuki: It won't be anything good!]

[Asura Ōtsutsuki: Brother, we're family. Why be like this?]

[Indra Ōtsutsuki: I just find you annoying!]

Soon, the reward for the 17th place on the Six Paths List appeared.

Two reward items were shown on the screen.

The first reward item was a constitution.

[Shura King Physique: A powerful physique born for battle, capable of unleashing strength far beyond its limits. The more severely injured, the stronger it becomes. Even with the last sliver of life, one can still unleash peak combat power.]

The second reward item was a pearl.

[Divine Wood Pearl: Can be absorbed into the body, provides powerful healing abilities, and enhances the power of Wood Release.]

[Tsunade: The Shura King Physique sounds terrifying! As long as one doesn't die, their strength remains at its peak!]

[Fourth Raikage: The Shura King Physique is indeed terrifying. I believe even a super-Kage level ninja with it could easily kill an ordinary Six Paths-level being barehanded!]

[Madara Uchiha: It's certainly a powerful physique, but not everyone can withstand its strain. Forcing its use would definitely lead to death. Even with the physique, a super-Kage level user might die before defeating a Six Paths-level being!]

[Hashirama Senju: I think the Divine Wood Pearl is also pretty good.]

[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Damn it, Asura, your rewards are too good!]

[Asura Ōtsutsuki: Hahaha, it's all luck. I really like the Shura King Physique! My name is Asura, and this physique is made for someone like me! I'll choose it!]

Without hesitation, Asura Ōtsutsuki chose the Shura King Physique.

In the Pure Land.

Buzz!

The Shura King Physique merged into Asura Ōtsutsuki, becoming his new constitution.

"What a powerful physique!" Asura Ōtsutsuki murmured.

If he had this physique back then, he could've easily defeated his brother.

Then, the reward for 18th place on the Six Paths List was about to be revealed.

"I hope it's better than my brother Asura's reward!" Indra Ōtsutsuki said expectantly.

Soon, two reward items appeared on the screen.

The first reward item was a pair of Rinnegan, though they were just ordinary Rinnegan.

The second reward item was another Fourth-Rank Golden Pill.

[Fourth-Rank Golden Pill: Greatly increases senjutsu chakra, enhances physical constitution, adds 300 years to lifespan, and has the effect of healing injuries.]

Both the Rinnegan and the golden pill were excellent choices.

However, Indra Ōtsutsuki felt somewhat dissatisfied, thinking they were still slightly inferior to his brother Asura's reward.

"Which one should I choose?" Indra Ōtsutsuki pondered.

He quickly made up his mind to choose the Rinnegan.

Compared to the golden pill, the Rinnegan would enhance his strength much more. Since he didn't have Rinnegan, obtaining it would cause a significant power surge.

"Extract the Rinnegan!"

Boom!

The Rinnegan was extracted and merged into Indra Ōtsutsuki's eyes, combining with his Sharingan.

Soon, the fusion was complete, and the Rinnegan revealed six tomoe.

Though not as powerful as his father's nine-tomoe Rinnegan, it was still incredibly strong.

Shortly after, the reward for the 19th place on the Six Paths List was announced.

This reward belonged to Naruto Uzumaki.

Because of this, many ninjas in Konoha were anxiously watching.

At that moment, two reward items appeared on the screen.

The first reward item was a question card.

[Question Card: Randomly generates a question. Answering correctly will result in a reward better than the ranking reward, but answering incorrectly means no reward.]

The second reward item was a fruit.

[Red Sun Fruit: Increases physical strength several times over, greatly boosts chakra reserves, and significantly enhances physical constitution.]

[Jiraiya: Greatly boosts vitality?]

[Tsunade: Cough cough, Jiraiya, what are you thinking about again?]

[Kakashi: The Red Sun Fruit sounds great, but Naruto isn't married yet. Though his future wife is Hinata, it's still too early. With that much vitality, things could get awkward!]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Why not just get married now?]

[Naruto Uzumaki: What are you all talking about? I don't understand!]

[Sakura Haruno: Naruto, you're such an idiot!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: It feels like you're all talking about something bad... Maybe I should choose the Question Card?]

[Fourth Hokage: Son, choosing the Question Card would be a gamble.]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Might as well try! I trust my luck!]

With that, Naruto Uzumaki gave up the Red Sun Fruit and chose the Question Card.
