Chapter 184: Chapter 138.1 : Use The Golden List?
Use The Golden List? What's the Significance?
Nara Shikaku's elated announcement left ninjas worldwide bewildered, including Terumi Mei and others, all felt a collective sense of ignorance.
The mere literal interpretation alone was astonishing.
The Golden List... Still can be used by someone like us?
[Orochimaru: Use the Golden List? So it is.]
[Senju Tobirama: I comprehend. This strategy is truly brilliant.]
[Uchiha Shisui: I've learned; this is Uchiha wisdom.]
[Tsunade: Unexpectedly playing this card. I might give it a shot in the future.]
[Uzumaki Kushina: The joy of double backup once again!]
[Konan: Cunning, indeed, this is cunning!]
[Uchiha Madara: As expected of my Uchiha clan.]
[Senju Hashirama: Yes, as expected of my Konoha Hokage.]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, do you actually know what Ran did?]
[Senju Hashirama: As the First Hokage, do you think I'm clueless? (smirking)]
[Uchiha Madara: Honestly, I don't know. I just casually asked. Would you care to explain?]
[Senju Hashirama: Madara, if you don't know, I'm equally disappointed. But the truth is, I'm in the dark just like you. We are both the same.]
All:.....???
Many were under the impression they could hardly measure up to the First Hokage.
It was all a façade.
By the way, what did Uchiha Ran utilize?
[Uchiha Madara: I know you don't know, but I do.]
[Senju Hashirama: I find that hard to believe.]
[Uchiha Madara: Believe it or not.]
[Senju Hashirama: Ah, Madara, just admit that you're clueless. We're strong enough!]
[Uchiha Madara: Foolish, how could I not know? Ran had long acquired the protagonist's luck-infused innate spiritual body. This physique surpasses even the Sage body, and absorbing natural energy is second nature to him. Upon entering the Ryūchi Cave, he deliberately incited conflicts, allowing the White Snake Sage to bite him and inject natural energy, all while feigning snake-like movements.
He induced anxiety in the White Snake Sage, increasing the output of Senjutsu Chakra and utilizing it for absorption.
In other words, all the accumulated Senjutsu Chakra on the White Snake Sage was absorbed.
Thanks to this, Ran could evolve the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and even transcending the Rinnegan.
After achieving all this, he gave the White Snake Sage a choice. The latter could rejuvenate with Golden List's power, and the Senjutsu Chakra in her body could return to its peak!
To sum up: The White Snake Sage loses nothing; her strength becomes greater. Meanwhile, Ran uses the Golden List's rules to tame the White Snake Sage's accumulated power and secures his allegiance in its peak state.
Flawless!
Uchiha Madara didn't care if others questioned him. With a strong heart, why bother proving himself over such trivial matters?
But Senju Hashirama was different.
Uchiha Madara couldn't take it anymore.
In one fell swoop, he unraveled Uchiha Ran's scheme.
If it weren't for the Character limit in the Golden List chat area, generating this text with just a single thought would be effortless. Yet, editing this text would take countless hours.
But now, it's all the same.
Uchiha Ran instinctively sighed, "That's it."
What followed was a profound mixture of fear, awe, and reverence for Uchiha Ran.
"This Fifth Hokage is truly a monster. He even exploits the Gold List. The White Snake Sage lost nothing and became his subordinate while maintaining its peak strength. And it possesses the same Senjutsu Chakra as before."
"If it were him," Onoki thought with a sense of responsibility, "joining the Rock Shinobi Village might lead to a bright future."
At this moment, he genuinely felt that the alliance between Kurotsuchi and Uchiha Ran was a positive development. It was good for Iwagakure, for the surprise it brought, and for Kurotsuchi herself.
"Master Fourth Raikage is unreliable. It seems I have to sacrifice myself to secure more opportunities for Cloud Shinobi Village," Mabui declared, glancing at the just-enlightened Fourth Raikage Ai beside her, making a firm decision.
Coincidentally, in Kirigakure, Terumi Mei's dark green eyes sparkled, and she sighed inwardly, "The gap is too vast. There's no other choice; I must sacrifice myself to seek more benefits for Kirigakure."
She wasn't admiring Uchiha Ran's wisdom or strength, not even his handsome face. Everything she did was for the sake of the mist.
In the Ryūchi Cave, the White Snake Sage also witnessed Uchiha Madara's speech and felt bitter in her heart. A tool snake she might be, but as a tool, she was insufficient and had become a weapon. However, at this point, obedience was the only option.
Fortunately, following Uchiha Ran wasn't shameful; there was hope.
"Is this the cultivation method?" White Snake Sage pondered as she finished accepting her reward. Returning to her youthful appearance, she transformed into a high-cold royal sister, adorned in regal attire.
The practice method information emerged, surprising her as much as it had surprised Gamamaru. Using the recovered Senjutsu Chakra in her body, she could condense the elixir in just a few days.
"Master, I now understand why Gamamaru declared war on you so confidently," White Snake Sage said loyally.
