"Are there any other functions?"
"That's right~"
Aoki confirmed under everyone's curious gazes. With a casual wave of his hand, the Chat Group's Light Screen instantly appeared before everyone's eyes, clearly listing their names and corresponding points.
Group Leader Aoki: 1000 points
First Hokage Hashirama Senju: 1000 points
First Hokage Madara Uchiha: 1000 points
Sixth Hokage Hatake Kakashi: 1000 points
Five-and-a-Half Hokage Shimura Danzo: 1000 points
Everyone's initial points were one thousand. As they looked at the points on the Light Screen, their eyes turned to the points exchange shop, which displayed a variety of exchangeable items:
[Random Devil Fruit: 10,000 points]
[One Tomoe Sharingan: 1,000 points]
[Two Tomoe Sharingan: 5,000 points]
[Three Tomoe Sharingan: 10,000 points]
"There are so many things here!"
"Why are they all so expensive?"
"The perfect Devil Fruit we ate earlier actually costs ten thousand points?"
"Look at the Sharingan—it can be upgraded step by step! One thousand points for One Tomoe, five thousand for Two Tomoe, and ten thousand for Three Tomoe! Madara, now everyone can become an Uchiha!"
"Shut up, Hashirama."
Everyone exclaimed in amazement, completely captivated by the items in the shop, and these were only the lowest-tier exchange items. Aoki and the others continued scrolling down, and the variety of items and their prices left everyone stunned:
[Saiyan Bloodline: 10 million points]
[Ice Devil Bloodline: 10 million points]
[Namekian Bloodline: 10 million points]
[Ryujin Jakka: 20 million points]
[Saitama's 100% Hair Growth Formula: 20 million points]
"These things are too overpowered!"
"They're ridiculously expensive!"
Everyone was full of questions, and seeing this, Aoki stepped forward to explain.
Each item had its own unique appeal, and even Aoki himself felt a strong desire for them. He explained that some items were essential for breaking through limits and becoming stronger, but the astronomical point requirements made them difficult to obtain, even for him.
Everyone listened intently as Aoki introduced each item, their eyes filled with longing.
"So, the Saiyan Bloodline allows unlimited growth in strength?"
"And it doubles your power when you're on the brink of death?"
"That's right."
Aoki nodded solemnly in confirmation, as he too yearned for the Saiyan Bloodline.
Tobirama, known for his intellect, suddenly proposed a bold idea: "If we combine this bloodline with Senzu Beans, wouldn't it truly allow for unlimited growth?"
Aoki was both surprised and delighted by Tobirama's creativity and admired his ingenuity: "That's actually possible!"
With the introduction of the points shop concluded, Aoki redirected everyone's attention to the Dueling Arena.
"Now, does anyone want to place a bet?"
"A bet?"
"You can wager on who will win this duel!"
Upon hearing Aoki's words, Fifth Hokage Tsunade instantly perked up, her eyes brimming with excitement. She rushed to Aoki's side, eager to spend her thousand points right away. Tobirama and the others also grew interested.
"In this duel, everyone can place bets on either combatant. The Chat Group will set the odds based on their strength, just like this."
As soon as Aoki finished speaking, a betting light screen appeared before everyone's eyes.
Fifth Hokage Shimura Danzo: Odds 1:1000
First Hokage Hashirama Senju: Odds 1:1.1
Seeing these outrageous odds, everyone fell silent, the gap in strength between the two was simply too vast.
Amidst the silence, someone had already bet all one thousand points.
"Huh?!"
"What's going on? Someone actually bet on Danzo?"
"Wait, Tsunade, was it you who bet on Danzo?"
Seeing Tsunade's betting choice, everyone was dumbfounded, utterly bewildered. This move was beyond absurd.
Facing everyone's curious gazes, Tsunade paused for a moment before responding with a straight face, "Shouldn't you bet on the higher odds?"
Hearing this answer, everyone was speechless again. They didn't bother dwelling on Tsunade's choice and all placed their thousand points on Hashirama Senju. After all, the strength disparity was clear as day; the smart choice was the guaranteed win.
Tsunade seemed to realize her mistake now, looking at Aoki with a pitiful expression, "Can I change it? My points!"
Aoki shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say about Tsunade's absurd betting move—she had just picked the highest odds without a second thought. He teased her, "Betting is also an art!"
With the bets placed, everyone's attention returned to the dueling arena. The two combatants were fully prepared, and the restraints on Danzo had been removed.
"First Hokage!"
"I will prove to everyone that I am the truly worthy, best Hokage!"
Hashirama paid no attention to Danzo's bluster. At this moment, he had only one thought—to defeat the person before him.
The battle begins!
As the dueling arena's start signal sounded, Hashirama clapped his hands together, and black Sage Mode patterns instantly appeared on his face.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
A massive Wood Release Buddha statue abruptly appeared in the dueling arena.
But Hashirama's movements didn't stop there. His eyes suddenly transformed into the pattern of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Golden Susanoo!"
The already enormous Wood Release Buddha statue was instantly enveloped in layer upon layer of golden Susanoo armor.
Witnessing this terrifying sight, Danzo, who had been ready for a desperate fight, froze in place.
"Wood Release plus Mangekyo Sharingan?!"
At this moment, even the spectators were stunned, including Madara Uchiha, who had once performed the Nine-Tails Susanoo. He never imagined that Hashirama, having mastered the power of the Uchiha Clan, could become this terrifying, directly fusing the True Several Thousand Hands with Susanoo.
The next second, Hashirama directly controlled the True Several Thousand Hands, smashing it down toward Danzo. The True Several Thousand Hands, enhanced by Susanoo, was even more powerful.
With the first punch landing, a violent burst of energy erupted like a miniature explosion. The dueling arena echoed with continuous rumbling as Danzo's figure was instantly completely engulfed by this terrifying assault.
"Awesome!"
"Big brother's current strength is simply too outrageous!"
"Hahaha, I knew it, betting a thousand points was a sure win!"
The watching members all laughed heartily, except for Tsunade, who was filled with gloom. Thinking about the thousand points she had lost for nothing, Tsunade grew both angry and frustrated. She couldn't help but imagine rushing in and beating Danzo to a pulp, secretly resolving to win the next match and teach that old man a lesson.
Inside the Dueling Arena, the relentless barrage from the True Several Thousand Hands finally ceased. Hashirama leaped down from the Wood Release Buddha statue, transforming mid-air into a massive golden Buddha.
"Huh?!"
"What is this?!"
Seeing Hashirama's new golden Buddha form, Aoki was completely stunned. It turned out that the random Devil Fruit Hashirama had eaten earlier was actually the Buddha Buddha Fruit. His luck was truly outrageous!
The God of the Shinobi World, who had established the order of the Ninja World and founded the first Ninja Village, had actually eaten the Devil Fruit of the Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
Transformed into the giant Buddha form, Hashirama leaped toward the area where Danzo had been pummeled into a cloud of dust. Ignoring the scattered debris flying everywhere, he precisely locked onto Danzo's location.
"Great Buddha Shockwave!"
An invisible, powerful shockwave suddenly crashed down, completely obliterating Danzo's figure.
Above the Dueling Arena, a line of text slowly appeared.
Duel Concluded.
[Winner: Hashirama Senju]
[First Victory Reward: 1000 Points]
A multicolored light swept across, instantly restoring the entire Dueling Arena to its original state. Even Danzo, who had been pulverized into dust, was restored to his complete form.
At that moment, Danzo was still in a state of utter confusion.
"Ha! Wahahaha! Not bad, not bad!"
"It's just that Tobirama's disciple is too weak, completely unable to withstand my full-power strike!"
"Besides Kagami and Akimichi Torifu, I don't have any other disciples."
"This wasn't fun at all!"
With the battle concluded, Hashirama, having achieved a great victory, nodded in satisfaction. He was even more pleased with the additional thousand-point reward.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of Hashirama's win and the thousand-point gain, a dull, thunderous sound suddenly echoed.
"Boom!"
"Argh!"
A figure was instantly sent flying, crashing heavily against the Dueling Arena's gate.
