Madara Uchiha, though reluctant to admit it, was right. Sasuke had no chance to speak up.
Madara Uchiha: Ahem ahem This time, even if you're lucky, I'll spare you Just so you know brat
Sasuke Uchiha: Oh...
But in Sasuke's mind he swore vengeance He'd treat Madara the same way he did Naruto someday
System: Initiating question!
System: Question Two Predict the duo's ultimate achievement! It will be revealed in a future video screening!
A Elite Special Jonin
B Kage Rank
C Beyond Kage Rank
D Rikudou (Six Paths) Rank
System: Correct predictors receive one random-tier item (or exchange random rolls for twenty million gold) Wrong predictors forfeit all their gold at answer settlement
The shinobi paused The options? Six Paths? Beyond Kage? Suggesting these kids might surpass even Madara and Hashirama? Impossible Six Paths rank required combining Uchiha and Wood Style plus tailed beast power
Madara Uchiha: Those two kids have fine potential but Six Paths rank? Exaggerated
Tsunade: Beyond Kage I understand Six Paths? As in the legendary Sage of Six Paths level?
Other hidden villages frowned They expected ordinary kids Yet the System offered Jonin first Then Kage level Finally the truly visionary chose Six Paths
In Konoha's history Senju Shisui and White Fang reached unofficial Kage power as Jonin So these kids will surely achieve at least Kage rank
Kushina Uzumaki: Since it's multiple choice I'll trust my maternal instincts Highest rank Rikudou Mikoto Uchiha: Hmph I believe in my son Rikudou for sure Fugaku Uchiha: Though I'm unclear I'll choose Rikudou too Sasuke Uchiha: Mother Father I believe I can become the strongest
Sasuke had one more thought Unspoken Once I gain that power I'll beat Madara like I did Naruto
Itachi quietly chose Rikudou As brother how could he doubt Sasuke He'd always trusted him
System: Tally complete Predictor counts:
A: 20581 (Anyone with sense wouldn't choose this)
B: 48713 (Good eye but mere Kage)
C: 1753 (Decent ambition)
D: 6 (Madara you were the lone Six Paths resister?)
Clearly B was the popular vote Kage rank inspires awe Beyond Kage remains abstract
C's votes came from experienced elites like Hashirama, Madara and others Tobirama and the Six Paths Pain and Jiraiya had beyond Kage strength Yet matching Hashirama and Madara's heights seemed unimaginable
Yet curious Dragon-tier surpasses Jonin The majority of Kage also wield beyond Kage power ???
System: Mid-break ten minutes First prank live stream begins after break
Madara Uchiha: Prank live stream?
Izuna Uchiha: Ahem it is quite a prank Wrong answers force crossdresser cosplay
Mizukage Mei Terumi: It's snug though Hmph
Jiraiya: Fifth Mizukage wanna star as heroine in my novel?
Tsunade: Jiraiya you die Madara won't forgive you! Mizukage Mei Terumi: Hah ninja world's gossip king Jiraiya No I won't fall for it
Jiraiya: ...Artistic soul unappreciated
Deidara: Art is explosives my art explodes How about that
Sasori: No idle chatter Art endures
Jiraiya: White idiots Static art is beauty Swimwear maid costume bikini black stockings fishnet
Sasori: Worthy insult to elegance
Deidara: Agreed
System: Entertainment live stream begins Forbidden Techniques Masters' daily life
System: Where are Hashirama and Tobirama?
Madara Uchiha: Joke You summoned them yet ask me? I don't know Uzumaki Death God: Exactly who knows
Tsunade: I recall Orochimaru's invasion sealed someone Where did they go? Uzumaki Death God:
Kushina Uzumaki: Death God right? Shiki Fuujin Spirit Paragon Jutsu I can't find Minato Either he's here Uzumaki Death God: No They're not in my belly Absolutely not Tsunade: Your denial makes you more suspicious Uzumaki Death God: This... uh... you're mistaken Surely Kushina Uzumaki: But Minato died inside you Then he must be there
Even the Death God wanted to cry For a thousand years he'd digested foxes and souls But even paladins too big to digest
Finally three souls and two hands arrived yet he couldn't digest the limbs Bullying the Death God?
Even if digestion failed they'd still be inside him Now they plot to raid his belly?
System: Detected residual souls in Uzumaki Death God's belly You have one minute to expel them or the System will enforce action
Uzumaki Death God: Bullying the Death God? Impossible! Today I might die refusing...
System: Live broadcast begins System cleansing of the Death God
Uzumaki Death God: Brother!!! Will this work?
[Video Footage]
The Death God wailed in refusal Yet the moment the live stream commenced
A golden light beamed down from the sky through the viewport
Without speaking he drew a small blade and slashed his own belly
"Eh? They're out?"
"Hmm? They burst out of my belly Suddenly feels odd..."
