[Reward settlement complete!]
[First Place: Fourth Hokage Aoki Sekai]
[Selectable Rewards: Choose Three out of Five]
Reward One: Glint-Glint Fruit without side effects (Maritime Treasure)
Reward Two: Tenseigan
Reward Three: Navy Six Styles
Reward Four: One jar of Senzu Beans (Instantly restores all injuries and stamina)
Reward Five: Perfectly Synchronized Byakugan
"My god!"
"These rewards are too generous!"
Aoki couldn't help exclaiming in surprise, while the six people behind him were instantly filled with envy. Such bountiful rewards, it was just a shame they hadn't managed to secure first place.
Among these five rewards, the Tenseigan was also an Eye Technique, not much different from the Rinnegan. If the Rinnegan was considered the ultimate form of the Sharingan, then the Tenseigan was the ultimate form of the Byakugan. The Rinnegan possessed many auxiliary Ninjutsu, leaning more toward creation abilities; whereas the Tenseigan leaned more toward destructive power.
Those who awaken the Tenseigan can enter the Reincarnation Eye Chakra Mode, experiencing a qualitative improvement in physical abilities and Chakra reserves. Speed, strength, and reaction capabilities all skyrocket, making them an unstoppable force on the battlefield.
Moreover, the Glint-Glint Fruit allows the user to achieve complete immunity to physical attacks. The phrase "Have you ever tasted a kick at the speed of light?" sounds incredibly cool when spoken.
However, Aoki hadn't expected the Chat Group to offer two abilities from the One Piece world—the Glint-Glint Fruit and the Navy Six Styles. Although he knew these abilities came from a pirate world called "One Piece," the others were completely unaware of this.
"Aoki, what do you think of these rewards?" someone asked.
"Why is the first reward a fruit? And it looks so strange!" another person frowned, staring at the fruit labeled "Glint-Glint Fruit" on the Light Screen with a puzzled expression.
Everyone looked at this unremarkable fruit, all equally confused, even worried that eating it might cause poisoning.
Aoki explained, "These rewards all come from another world. Although this fruit looks ordinary, consuming it grants extremely powerful abilities. As for the Navy Six Styles, they are a physical training method from the same world."
Hearing Aoki's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. No one had expected they could directly obtain abilities from another world.
Meanwhile, the Second Hokage Tobirama looked at the Glint-Glint Fruit, his curiosity instantly piqued. His eyes were filled with the desire to dissect and study it—an investigative urge ingrained in his very bones.
Soon, Tobirama seemed to think of something and turned to Aoki. "Since another world has such a fruit, does that mean..."
"Does it mean that world has many other things like this?" His voice carried barely concealed anticipation.
Aoki naturally nodded, openly stating that the One Piece world had a vast number of such Devil Fruits. However, he also emphasized that the Chat Group's rewards must differ from the original Devil Fruits, as the ones in the One Piece world had the fatal weakness of seawater.
Tobirama then asked the most crucial question: "Once the Chat Group gathers ten people and activates the World Traversal Function, can we reach that world?"
Hearing this question, the others instantly became interested as well, all turning their gazes toward Aoki. If they could reach a world with such a treasure as the Glint-Glint Fruit, wouldn't they all be able to obtain one?
Aoki immediately gave an affirmative reply: "Of course! Once the World Traversal Function is activated, this world might very well be one of the worlds we can reach!"
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Tobirama sat back down contentedly and fell silent.
Aoki then made his own choice: "I choose the Glint-Glint Fruit, the Tenseigan, and the Navy Six Styles."
Looking at the five rewards, Aoki directly excluded the Perfectly Synchronized Byakugan—since he could already choose the Tenseigan, the advanced form of the Byakugan, there was naturally no need to choose the Byakugan itself.
Between the Navy Six Styles and the life-saving Senzu Bean, Aoki had hesitated. But considering the current situation, and given that he already possessed the Rinnegan and a Sage Body, making his strength formidable, he ultimately decided that the Navy Six Styles, a Taijutsu cultivation method from the One Piece world, was the better choice.
The ninja world did not place extreme importance on physical strength, whereas in the One Piece world, powerful individuals could shatter or split entire islands with their bodies alone. The core power in the ninja world had always been Chakra, Ninjutsu, and Kekkei Genkai.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as ninjas who specialized in Taijutsu, with Might Guy being the most representative among them. His ultimate secret technique, Night Guy, nearly killed Madara Uchiha.
Recalling the various amusing memes about this scene from his past life online, Aoki couldn't help but smile.
As Aoki confirmed his selection through the Light Screen, a line of text promptly appeared:
[Selection successful!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Glint-Glint Fruit, the Tenseigan, and the Navy Six Styles cultivation method!]
[Rewards will be distributed after the gathering concludes!]
Looking at the rewards he had obtained, Aoki felt a sense of awe in his heart; the rewards for first place had always been this generous. But he also understood that he must continue to enhance his nation's power—the Chat Group might very well include the world of the Seventh Hokage in the future, and his position as first place was already precarious.
Konoha in the Boruto era far surpassed the present in terms of culture, technology, and knowledge, even possessing two Six Paths Level combatants. Their enemies were the Otsutsuki Clan from outer space. From the perspective of the world's structure, the Hokage era of Boruto had already advanced to a higher level, with enemies no longer confined to Earth but coming from the unknown universe.
Thinking of this, the sense of urgency in Aoki's heart grew even stronger. Although he had secured first place twice and gained numerous rewards, the world of the Seventh Hokage also possessed the strength to contend for first place.
Lost in thought, Aoki noticed the gazes of Senju Hashirama and the others fixed intently on the Light Screen, snapping him back to reality. Hashirama, who had taken second place, stared at the Light Screen with eyes full of excitement, eagerly awaiting his own rewards.
Soon, the Light Screen changed again:
[Second Place: World of First Hokage Senju Hashirama]
[Available Rewards: Choose Two out of Three]
Reward One: Perfectly Synchronized Sharingan
Reward Two: Perfectly Synchronized Byakugan
Reward Three: Navy Six Styles
Looking at Hashirama's rewards, which were completely different from the previous gathering, all three were extremely formidable abilities. Faced with such a choice, Hashirama barely hesitated, immediately selecting the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan. He and Madara Uchiha were close friends, so wanting to personally experience this Eye Power was only natural.
As for the remaining Byakugan and Navy Six Styles, Hashirama found himself in a dilemma. He turned to Tobirama beside him, seeking his advice.
However, the Second Hokage Tobirama's gaze fell on the group leader, Aoki. "Aoki, which one do you think Hashirama should choose?"
Aoki, who had been lost in thought, was pulled back to reality by Tobirama's words. He quickly focused his attention, pondering the two remaining options. Hashirama's physical body was already formidable, so he had no need for the Navy Six Styles. The answer was clearly the Byakugan.
"Of course, choose the Byakugan," Aoki stated firmly.
"What? Is the Byakugan that powerful?" Everyone was taken aback, their faces filled with surprise.
During the Warring States period, the Hyuga clan had relied on the backing of the Senju clan to claim possession of the strongest Eye Technique. Yet, the clan had never produced a powerhouse of Hashirama or Madara's caliber.
Aoki explained, "The Hyuga clan, like the Uchiha and Senju, are descendants of the Six Paths Sage's younger brother. This bloodline must hold something special. If the Uchiha's Sharingan can evolve, why can't the Hyuga's Byakugan? You've actually already seen the evolved form of the Byakugan."
This statement instantly reminded everyone of the reward Aoki had mentioned earlier in the "choose three out of five" selection.
"The Tenseigan?!" Tobirama exclaimed in shock.
"Exactly. When evolved to its ultimate form, the Byakugan becomes the Tenseigan. However, the conditions for the Byakugan's evolution are extremely demanding," Aoki confirmed.
Hashirama immediately understood and declared, "I choose the Sharingan and the Byakugan!"
The Tenseigan possesses visual abilities far surpassing those of the Byakugan. It can clearly track high-speed moving targets and discern minute details even at extreme distances. Beyond that, the Tenseigan comprehensively enhances the user's physical capabilities, significantly boosting speed, strength, and endurance.
The most representative ability of the Tenseigan is the manipulation of Truth-Seeking Balls. These black Chakra orbs, formed by fusing the five basic nature transformations with Yin-Yang Release, offer immense versatility in combat. The user can shape them into various forms to execute offensive and defensive Ninjutsu. Anything touched by a Truth-Seeking Ball is reduced to nothingness.
In short, the Tenseigan is the advanced form of the Byakugan. It is awakened by fusing the Byakugan of a Hyuga clan member with the Reincarnation Eye Chakra of the Otsutsuki Clan. It grants enhanced visual prowess, refined physical attributes, and the ability to control Truth-Seeking Balls.
In the end, Hashirama had to give up on the Navy Six Styles. It was merely an ordinary Taijutsu training technique, offering no advantage compared to two Eye Techniques with evolutionary potential and multiple abilities.
[Selection Successful!]
[Congratulations to Senju Hashirama for obtaining Perfectly Synchronized Sharingan and Perfectly Synchronized Byakugan!]
[Rewards will be distributed after the gathering concludes!]
Looking at the abilities Hashirama had acquired, Aoki's expression turned somewhat peculiar. Hashirama had essentially obtained a lower-tier version of his own abilities—the Sharingan being the initial form of the Rinnegan, and the Byakugan the initial form of the Tenseigan. The thought was rather amusing.
With Hashirama's second-place reward decided, it was now Uchiha Obito's turn. As the member who had secured third place in his first gathering, he felt both nervous and expectant, his gaze fixed intently on the Light Screen.
