There are many treasures in the Shinigami world, especially among the nobles of the Soul Society. These noble families have existed for thousands of years, amassing countless valuable items over such a long period.
However, I am uncertain what kind of rewards these treasures can be exchanged for in the chat group. But if they are there for the taking, it would be a waste not to seize them. Hokages will undoubtedly be on the lookout for loot.
Tobirama, in particular, sees the entire Soul Society as a treasure trove, an aspect many overlook. He intends to gather everything he can for his research.
What interests him the most is the Twelfth Division, the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. Their various inventions greatly appeal to him. For example, they have created artificial bodies (Gigai) designed for souls to inhabit. These innovations are precisely what Tobirama finds fascinating.
He records all these discoveries on a scroll, preparing to bring them back to his world for proper research. Based on his predictions, there is so much valuable research that he expects to develop several new jutsu, potentially even forbidden techniques.
Meanwhile, other Hokages are manually collecting Asuachi and resources. With so much to acquire, they have overlooked the fact that there might be a more efficient way to gather these items.
At this moment, Ryan has already obtained many valuable things, including those from Yhwach and his subordinates. The Wandenreich has accumulated numerous treasures over the years, all of which have now been contributed.
Whether it's Zanpakutō or other types of treasures, nothing is held back. Everything Ryan finds valuable is now in his possession.
On the other side, the Gotei 13th Division was busy under Yamamoto's leadership. He captured numerous captains and many Shinigami, leading them on a daily quest through the Soul Society to gather all the valuable items they could find and hand them over to Ryan.
Ryan did not forget the abundance of Asauchi, which were not only possessed by the Shinigami but also found in places like Rukongai. Many Shinigami, before joining the ranks, come from outside the Soul Society, meaning there are significant numbers of Zanpakutō in the periphery as well.
In addition to these weapons, there are various Shinigami techniques, all of which Ryan eagerly accepted. He did not disappoint his new subordinates' efforts. Seven days passed quickly, marked by a treasure-hunting carnival for the Hokages, where everyone acquired numerous valuable items and techniques.
Beyond the Zanpakutō, there were many local treasures and unique abilities inherent to the Shinigami world, such as Kidō and Hakuda. These techniques could also be taken back to their worlds for further training.
Despite these significant acquisitions, Ryan remained low-key. The Hokages were unaware of his special collections. If they knew, his image in their eyes would likely collapse!
[Ding! The seven days have come!]
[You can return to the chat group!]
[The Shinigami world's quest has been completed; after everyone returns to the chat group!]
As everyone was talking, the notification tone of the chat group sounded in their minds. They understood that, just like the Pirate World before, the Shinigami world would be accessible to them once they left. Everyone was very pleased with this feature.
However, the most important thing now was to return to the chat group space. They were impatient, eager to know what kind of rewards they would receive after this mission. Especially a few of them, who believed the treasures they had gathered were substantial, felt confident in securing a top-three finish and were therefore even more anxious.
Seeing their excitement, Ryan didn't waste any time. He addressed the members.
"Finally going back!"
With his voice command, a familiar, colorful light screen instantly appeared in front of everyone, enveloping them all. The moment they left, the entire Shinigami world was connected to chat group space by a mysterious and incomparable force, placing the whole world in a suspended state.
In the meeting space on the other side, a colorful portal materialized. Ryan and the others stepped through it, returning to the chat group. All twelve Hokages returned intact.
Upon seeing the familiar space, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally home!" they exclaimed, talking excitedly among themselves.
The world of Shinigami is certainly fresh and interesting. However, it is this familiar meeting space that makes them feel truly at home. Even Naruto, who is new to the meeting space, feels the same way.
Everyone returned to their seats. A few imposing Hokage, all without grace, slumped into their chairs. Surprisingly Tobirama included—he was utterly exhausted! In the Shinigami world, there were countless benefits to collect, and he wanted to bring everything back. As a result, he consumed a large amount of chakra performing sealing techniques, leaving him more drained than after a battle.
The other Hokage were also feeling a bit tired. However, their excitement was palpable as they shared their experiences. It was a whole new world for them once again. Naruto, on the other hand, looked at them enviously. It was his first time entering another world, while for the other Hokage, it was already their second time. He envied their rich experiences and wished he had joined earlier.
At this moment, Ryan spoke.
"Everyone, calm down. The part we are most looking forward to is about to begin: the summing up and rewards!"
Upon hearing Ryan's words, the Hokage looked excited and immediately fell silent, eagerly waiting for the chat group's prompt to see the summary benefits.
After everyone quieted down, the notification tone of the chat group finally started to ring.
[Congratulations, everyone!]
[This mission across the heavens and worlds is a complete success!]
[Below is an explanation of the task completion status.]
