Chapter 020: Time Weapon! Reward Distribution!
The second-place weapon had left many powerful figures in the Shinobi World in fear, but for many ordinary ninjas, the second-place weapon was less significant compared to the ones ranked lower. This difference in perception is all about perspective.
However, everyone was eagerly anticipating the first-place weapon. Many even speculated that the first-place weapon might also belong to Ye Tian, but what exactly could it be?
Soon, the first-place weapon was revealed on the list.
In the livestream, a colorless crystal floated in the air, emanating an incredibly mysterious aura, drawing everyone towards it. It was evident that this wasn’t an offensive weapon but rather a type of auxiliary weapon. For an auxiliary weapon to rank first, it spoke volumes about its value.
[Weapon Ranking No. 1: Tear of Time and Space, User: Ye Tian]
[Tear of Time and Space: Forged from several materials containing time energy and the Void Crystal, this item can create a unique time domain where the flow of time is ten times faster than in the outside world.]
"An auxiliary weapon involving time!"
Even the sealed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was shocked. Such a weapon was exceedingly rare, and the Shinobi World didn’t possess anything like it. Even among the legends of the Ōtsutsuki clan, there were only traces of time-related abilities, but nothing capable of accelerating time by tenfold. The value of such a weapon was unimaginable.
"The Shinobi World does have materials with time properties, but how did he manage to forge a time weapon? Where did he learn this? Even I don’t know how!" Kaguya wondered.
At this moment, countless ninjas in the Golden List livestream were stunned.
[Fourth Hokage: A time-related treasure, this is exceedingly rare!]
[Naruto: Dad, what is a time treasure? The description says that the time flow is ten times faster than outside. What does that mean? I don’t get it!]
[Sakura: Naruto, you're too dumb. Let me explain. In the time domain, someone can train for ten days while only one day passes in the outside world. That means they get ten times the training time!]
[Naruto: What? Ten times the time? Doesn’t that mean even a pig could become powerful with it?]
[Fourth Raikage: If I had the Tear of Time and Space, I could train a vast number of ninjas, even jonin, within a year, enough to sweep through the other villages.]
[Third Tsuchikage: The value of this treasure depends on who uses it. While it can speed up time, doesn’t it also accelerate the consumption of lifespan? As an old ninja, I wouldn’t dare use it!]
[Orochimaru: The Tear of Time and Space suits me perfectly, but unfortunately, it’s not mine.]
[Kakuzu: The Tear of Time and Space is truly powerful; I’m willing to offer everything I own to purchase it.]
[Hidan: Hmph, Ye Tian, I’ll kill you sooner or later and take all your treasures!]
[Mei Terumi: Given the current situation, Ye Tian’s strength will only continue to grow as he receives rewards from the Golden List. Trying to steal treasures from him is nearly impossible unless an entire village mobilizes, with a willingness to pay a heavy price. Only then might there be some hope!]
[Shikaku Nara: With his strength, if Ye Tian wanted to leave, no one could stop him.]
[Fourth Hokage: Exactly, no one could stop him, especially with all those terrifying weapons and his formidable taijutsu. He’s practically invincible. Unless the Sage of Six Paths or the Sages from the three great lands intervene, there’s no hope of challenging him.]
[Slug Sage: I’m not good at fighting!]
[Great Toad Sage: Slug, your size alone could crush everything in your path, and you’re great at healing, making you nearly impossible to kill. And then there’s the White Snake, always so elusive.]
[White Snake Sage: I don’t hide as deeply as Ye Tian does. For all we know, he might be someone from our era.]
[Great Toad Sage: No human could survive from our era until now!]
[White Snake Sage: Haha, who says he’s human? Beasts like us can transform into human forms after reaching a certain level. And humans can live long lives too, like Orochimaru with his Living Corpse Reincarnation Jutsu—he might live for a very long time.]
[Orochimaru: Thank you for the compliment, White Snake Sage!]
While the Sages from the three great lands were chatting, it was time to distribute the rewards for the weapon ranking.
However, this time was different from the last. Those who entered the ranking twice could choose between two treasures.
[Golden List Notice: Those who have ranked twice can choose one treasure from the two available as their reward.]
At this moment, the reward for the first place was revealed in the livestream.
Soon, the first treasure appeared.
A blood-red object, enclosed in a sphere, appeared on the screen. It emitted a terrifying aura, and the shadow of a phoenix seemed to emerge from it.
Below was an introduction to the Phoenix Essence.
[Phoenix Essence: The life essence of a phoenix, containing immense vitality. Consuming it grants an additional 3,000 years of lifespan and the indestructible properties of a phoenix’s immortal body.]
Seeing this description, everyone went crazy.
[Orochimaru: Three thousand years of life, with the indestructible properties of a phoenix—this is terrifying. The history of the Shinobi World doesn’t even span three thousand years.]
[Might Guy: If I had the Phoenix Essence, wouldn’t that mean I could use the Eight Gates Formation without limits? Wouldn’t I become invincible?]
[Kakashi: Guy, that’s the first-place reward. You have no chance!]
[Hidan: It’s not bad, I suppose!]
[Kakuzu: Yeah, it’s alright.]
[Mei Terumi: If it were me, I’d definitely choose the first treasure—three thousand years of life and an immortal phoenix body. No matter what the second treasure is, I wouldn’t even consider it!]
[Tsunade: Everyone has different preferences. Maybe Ye Tian doesn’t care for the first treasure. After all, he’s already obtained the Millennium Dragon Essence, which increased his lifespan by a thousand years, and his taijutsu is incredibly powerful, with an extremely durable body. He might not need the Phoenix Essence.]
[Third Hokage: Now we just have to wait and see what the second treasure is.]
...
On the moon, within the sealed space, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki gazed intently at the Phoenix Essence.
She already possessed an immortal body—a trait of the pureblooded Ōtsutsuki clan. However, the effectiveness of the immortal body varied with the purity of the bloodline.
An immortal body didn’t mean one couldn’t be killed; it just made it incredibly difficult.
Her immortal body was undoubtedly one of the highest levels, making it almost impossible for anyone in the Shinobi World to kill her.
But if Ye Tian obtained the Phoenix Essence, he would likely gain an immortal body similar to hers, making it much harder for her to kill him.
"If I could obtain the Phoenix Essence, I might be able to further enhance my immortal body, significantly increasing my power!" Kaguya thought.
In Amegakure.
"The Phoenix Essence, yet another extraordinary treasure!" Nagato said enviously.
Such treasures—he only needed one! Yet, he didn’t even have one and could only envy others.
