Chapter 112 All Hokage in Chat Group (Patreon)

Watching Obito's movements on the screen, even those who had seen it before couldn't help but frown. This applied to everyone, even individuals like Sasuke who had just arrived.

Their expressions were soon replaced by those resembling Tsunade herself, and the atmosphere amongst the others became somewhat subdued

The shifts in the painting style were noticeable, a direct reflection of Obito's choices. Just as before, the young boy on the screen once more inserted his finger into his eye socket without uttering a single word, an act that caused the Sharingan to buckle down and settle into place. The transformation was such that it seemed as if these were not his own eyes.

"In pursuit of completing your plan, you willingly removed your own eyes," the narrative stated. "You recognized that in order to unite the ninja world, a formidable ally was essential. Kakashi was the prime candidate, and you sought out Tsunade to conduct the transformative surgery, ensuring his body was attuned to the power of the Sharingan. Holding the Senju cells and Senzu beans in your hands, you stood ready to offer Kakashi sustenance whenever required."

At this moment, everyone cast peculiar glances toward Obito. Ryan, observing from the sidelines, couldn't help but harbor a quiet admiration for the depth of Obito's dedication. Indeed, it was becoming increasingly evident that Kakashi held a special place in Obito's heart.

"A man willing to relinquish his own eyes for another—a rare display of true friendship or...," Ryan mused, his thoughts reflecting on the complexities of their relationship.

Amidst this scenario,two Kakashi from different worlds, found themselves trapped in a quandary. The appropriate manner in which to address Obito eluded them. There was no denying the sacrifices Obito had made—both the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and his unwavering companionship.

The contrasting paths Obito had chosen now cast an odd sense of juxtaposition upon Kakashi's existence, silencing him within his own contemplations.

At this moment, Obito's world ranking materialized upon a luminescent display.

"Sixth Hokage Uchiha Obito's World Ranking: National Power Assessment Completed," the screen announced.

"Overall National Power Score: 777 Points," it declared.

Throughout this period, Obito had been engrossed in his research of the Sharingan and the Senzu beans. His efforts had also been dedicated to aiding Kakashi's transformation. The consequence, however, was Konoha's stagnation—its influence refrained from expanding beyond its current borders. National strength exhibited minimal growth.

Nevertheless, Obito found contentment in the fact that despite these challenges, Konoha's national strength was still evaluated at an impressive 777 points.

As the rankings unveiled, Kakashi secured the eighth position, with a comprehensive national strength score of 750 points. Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, claimed the ninth spot with a score of 620 points.

Witnessing Sixth Hokage Kakashi's immediate ascension in the rankings, Ryan's eyes glinted with intrigue.

Amidst the realm of Sixth Hokage Kakashi, recent events bore an eerie familiarity to Ryan. He inquired, "What's amiss with the moon?"

Responding promptly to Ryan's curiosity, Sixth Generation Kakashi recounted the recent developments, which included the persistent descent of moon debris. These events hinted at the presence of the Otsutsuki clan's involvement, a realization that resonated with Ryan's understanding of the situation.

"The Moon Sect's burial grounds," Ryan proposed. "Therein lies the resting place of Otsutsuki Hamura, a place where Tenseigan can potentially awaken from Byakugan. Someone is undoubtedly manipulating the legacy of their ancestors."

"In the face of adversity upon your return," Ryan continued, addressing Kakashi, "don't hesitate to employ the 'help' function within the chat group."

As for Minato, who claimed the ninth position, Ryan found himself momentarily at a loss for words. Ultimately, he could only acknowledge Minato as a resolute and admirable individual.

Observing the screen, Ryan's attention was captured by the scenes of Uzumaki Kushinas, Minato's wife, being transported into the door fruit space. It was followed closely by Minato prepared to confront the masked man. However, their adversary chose to retreat, and it was clear that they had yet to locate the Nine-Tails, preventing any large-scale mobilization.

Recognizing that being brought to this location by Minato would likely make leaving quite challenging, especially considering the circumstances.

The conclusion of the Nine-Tails Rebellion crisis yielded relatively favorable results. Only the original Third Generation world and the original 5.5th Generation world remained standing.

Observing the newly-installed Hokage, Kakashi, and Sasuke, who now represented these two worlds, speculation filled the air. Curiosity abounded, as everyone pondered who would emerge triumphant as the ultimate survivor among these two contenders.

Sasuke and Kakashi shared a knowing glance, their eyes meeting in mutual understanding.

As a newly-empowered Uchiha, having recently acquired the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke naturally held a firm belief that he would not fall behind. Conversely, Kakashi harbored a degree of uncertainty.

He had expended considerable effort in restoring Konoha's combat prowess, concurrently deploying the Konoha forces to launch an assault on the Sound nation. Despite the Sound being a comparatively smaller country, this strategic move marked a significant advancement for Konoha's overall national might.

Just as the collective gaze remained fixed upon the luminous screen, anticipation reaching its zenith, the final rankings for the last two contestants were unveiled.

"Tenth Place: Uchiha Sasuke, Hokage of the original 5.5th Generation world," the display announced.

"Final National Strength Evaluation: 600 Points."

"Eleventh Place: Kakashi, former Third Hokage World," the subsequent ranking read.

"Final National Strength Evaluation: 550 Points."

"Hahahaha! As expected!" A boisterous laugh escaped Sasuke's lips upon glimpsing his ranking. Confidence radiated from him.

Meanwhile, Kakashi bore a disappointed expression, earning a consolatory pat on the shoulder from Minato, who sat beside him.

Obito, unable to contain his approval, commended Kakashi, "Not bad at all, Kakashi, to have progressed from 300 points to 550 points!"

Ryan, observing the unfolding spectacle, began to unravel the underlying scoring criteria utilized by the chat group.

Evidently, worlds boasting formidable Hokage figures, such as Kakashi and Sasuke, who had recently joined their respective worlds, typically garnered scores exceeding 550 points. Exceptions, like Sasuke's world, currently marked by his defection, exhibited a notable decrease in rating. In the case of Sixth Hokage Kakashi's world, the score had impressively surged to 750 points.

Consequently, the world of Seventh Hokage Naruto was estimated to command a score of around 1000 points in the future.

As Ryan surveyed the current national power evaluation, which now stood at 1456 points for the realm under consideration, a sense of relief washed over him.

With the final two worlds determined, the selection process concluded officially. The eleven chosen worlds were now arranged in a cohesive lineup.

The imminent reward distribution session prompted heightened anticipation among the assembled group. A palpable tension filled the air as all eyes remained fixed on the illuminated curtain, awaiting the impending allocation of rewards.

"Second-level prize pool!" one voice exclaimed, triggering a ripple of eager discussions.

"What kind of rewards can we expect from this tier?" another voice speculated.

"Anticipating the group leader's first-place reward!" someone chimed in with enthusiasm.

"It's bound to be something worthwhile!" the hopeful anticipation continued.

Amidst the lively discourse, subtle changes began to manifest upon the glowing screen, heralding the forthcoming distribution of rewards.

【Reward distribution concluded!】

【First Place: Fourth Hokage Ryan World】

[Local selection's national strength score for first place: 1456 points, meeting the criteria for advancing to the second-level world.]

[Rewards will be drawn from the secondary world.]

[Choose three out of five optional rewards:]

[Reward 1: Zanpakuto(Random)]

[Reward 2: Kido Encyclopedia]

[Reward 3: The World (time manipulation ability)]

[Reward 4: Vector Manipulation]

[Reward 5: Perfect Super God Water (Unlock your potential and rapidly enhance your strength)]

A sharp intake of breath resounded as the rewards for the secondary world were unveiled.

"What does the time ability entail?"

"And there's the Perfect Super God Water – it can provide a direct power boost!"

Surveying the array of rewards, the crowd erupted in a chorus of astonishment. Even Ryan himself was taken aback by the diversity and potential of the five offerings.

Zanpakuto, hailing from the Shinigami realm, was intrigued but also posed uncertainty due to the randomness of its abilities. A chance encounter with a mighty Zanpakuto like Ryujin Jakka would be a cause for celebration. However, the prospect of receiving a less remarkable version, like a triangular-headed Zanpakuto from the Physics Department, dampened the enthusiasm.

The Kido's Encyclopedia, the second option, boasted multifaceted abilities that appealed to many. This choice not only held practical value but also demonstrated a flair for grandeur, as exemplified by Aizen's masterful utilization of its powers in the original narrative.

The third option held the allure of Jojo's renowned 'The World' Stand abilities. The unique application of time manipulation within the JOJO universe might have contributed to its classification as a second-tier world. The World's power is its ability to stop time, allowing only itself, DIO, and anyone with the same power, to act within the duration of stopped time.

Among the remaining choices, one beckoned with the potential of 'Vector Operation,' while the other offered the early-stage Super God Water from the Dragon Ball universe.

Contemplating these enticing possibilities, Ryan's mind raced through the passage of time, and he found himself longing for all five abilities. However, the time had come to make a selection.

Just as Ryan was poised to announce his decision, an unexpected alteration materialized upon the luminous screen.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, a collective pause swept through the assembly, for such occurrences were rare.

Under the rapt attention of those present, a new line of text emerged, bringing fresh revelations.

"The top three contenders may opt to forfeit the initially presented rewards."

"Subsequent draws will be made from the existing prize pool: the more times one relinquishes their choice, the higher the likelihood of acquiring potent abilities."

"Should you forgo three choices, the opportunity arises to transcend the current tier and access rewards of a higher level."

The crowd exchanged glances, stunned by this unanticipated turn of events. The potential for further advancement stirred excitement, yet a sense of weighty decision-making permeated the air.
