Upon seeing Ryan and Tobirama receiving their rewards.
Hashirama was unable to contain his excitement and eagerly turned his attention to the light curtain. However, his childlike behaviour amused everyone, and they couldn't help but laugh.
Tobirama, in high spirits, couldn't help but helplessly cover his face. He called out to his brother, but Hashirama waved him off, indicating he should remain silent.
Hashirama's eyes remained fixated on the light curtain, eagerly awaiting his rewards. A gambler will always remain a gambler. They don't gamble to earn money but to feel the excitement and fear of the game.
Suddenly, the text on the light curtain changed, catching Hashirama's attention. His eyes lit up with anticipation as he read the announcement.
Third Place: World of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama
Optional Rewards: Choose One of Two
[Reward 1: Perfect Sage mode method]
[Reward 2: A can of Senzu beans]
"There is no Sharingan...."
Upon seeing the rewards, Hashirama's face fell instantly. He looked at the light curtain in disbelief, wondering why he could only choose one reward and why there was no mention of Madara's Sharingan.
This revelation left everyone speechless for a moment, realizing that Hashirama seemed to be risking his life with his choices.
They had assumed Hashirama would choose the fairy beans, considering the condition of his health. However, Hashirama surprised them all by fixating on the perfectly Sync Sharingan, a choice that seemed reckless and dangerous.
It was clear that Hashirama didn't care about his safety. Disappointed with the absence of the Sharingan and left with only the choices of the Sage arts method or the Senzu beans, he reluctantly settled on the Senzu beans. Because he already had a proper sage mode which was very compatible with his wood style.
With a desolate expression and a depressing pose, Hashirama sat in his seat, seemingly lost in his thoughts and drawing circles in the corner. Despite the prospect of the Senzu beans restoring his body, he remained discontented.
The selection was successful, and Hashirama received a can of Senzu beans as his reward. The rewards would be distributed uniformly after the meeting concluded.
With the announcement of the third-place winner, the light curtain in the chat group changed once again. It was time to reward the last two worlds. Everyone eagerly watched as the light curtain transformed.
Fourth Place: The World of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade Receives a Guaranteed Reward
Reward: Perfect Sage mode method.
Fifth Place: The World of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato receives a guaranteed bonus.
Reward: Perfect Sage mode Method.
Both Tsunade and Minato received the same reward Perfect Sage mode method. Although not among the top three, they were satisfied with their rewards. Tsunade, especially, appreciated the guaranteed bonus, and Minato was grateful for a more detailed Sage mode method compared to what he had in his world.
With all the rewards distributed, the Hokage were elated. It was time to wrap up the meeting.
"Alright, everyone, the rewards have been received. If there's nothing else, we can conclude this meeting. See you next time," Ryan declared.
The first and second Hokage were eager to return and explore their rewards. Seeing their eagerness, Ryan nodded in agreement. However, Tsunade, who had just realized something, interrupted their departure.
"Wait, group leader! We saw the function of the world leaderboard. What about the other function?" Tsunade asked.
This question sparked everyone's curiosity, and all eyes turned to Ryan for an answer. Ryan promptly displayed the information about the cross-border mutual assistance function on the light curtain.
"The cross-border mutual assistance function will be unlocked after each meeting during the cooling-off period. Each Hokage world can seek assistance from other worlds. Hokage who come to support can only stay in the requesting world for one day," the message explained.
Tsunade felt relieved, her worries put to rest. Konoha now had the means to seek help from their predecessors in times of crisis. The potential confusion among invaders would be an added advantage, as even the residents of Konoha would be perplexed by the appearance of past Hokage.
With a sense of relief, Tsunade and the others were satisfied. Ryan concluded the second Hokage meeting, bidding everyone farewell.
"Until next time, everyone!" With a single thought, Ryan ended the meeting, and the Hokage saw colourful rays of light enveloping them.
When they opened their eyes, they found themselves back in their respective worlds. Simultaneously, the rewards they obtained from the world leaderboard were instantly distributed to each Hokage.
As they held their rewards, everyone felt a sense of joy. However, a strong determination to compete for the top three positions emerged within them. The reward gap between the top three had motivated them all.
And so, the second Hokage chat group meeting came to an official close.
