Looking at the rewards offered by the chat group, everyone froze momentarily. These rewards seemed quite different from the top two options, didn't they?
Ryan turned his attention to Senzu Beans, who had reappeared in third place. He had a faint suspicion about the rules of the chat group.
Opening his mouth, he said, "Last time, the First Hokage was rewarded by Senzu beans, so it seems that the chat group didn't include Senzu beans as an option this time for him."
"That means any reward can potentially appear in the second and third place options," he continued. "But once you've obtained a reward, you won't have a chance to receive it again."
As Ryan explained, everyone suddenly realized the implications. At that moment, Obito's gaze also fell upon the two rewards: Marine Six Styles and Senzu beans.
Among the two, he was more inclined towards the Senzu beans. A can of Senzu beans could instantly restore a person's vitality with just a single bite. Compared to Marine Six Styles, Obito found this unique item to be the most exciting.
After all, no matter how impressive the fighting techniques were, nothing could replace the value of life. Besides, Obito already possessed the Kamui ability, so physical skills were less crucial to him. With his decision made, Obito confidently declared, "I choose Senzu beans!"
"Choice successful!"
"Congratulations on acquiring a can of Senzu beans!"
"Rewards will be distributed after the meeting ends."
Even Ryan was taken aback when he saw Obito's choice of Senzu beans over Marine Six Styles. It was unexpected, but considering Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan ability, Ryan understood why he opted for the beans.
Obito relied more on his unique eye power rather than physical skills. With Obito securing the third-place reward, the rewards for the other participants were promptly displayed.
Fourth Place: Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage, is guaranteed a reward.
Reward: Marine Six Styles
Fifth Place: Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage of Ninja Road, is guaranteed a reward.
Reward: Marine Six Styles
Sixth Place: Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage's World, is guaranteed a reward.
Reward: Marine Six Styles
Seventh Place: Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage, receives a guaranteed bonus.
Reward: Marine Six Styles
Surprisingly, the guaranteed rewards turned out to be a physical training method from another world, known as Marine Six Styles. Although its specifics were unknown, the fact that it was a first-place reward indicated its mystical qualities.
"Alright, everyone has received their rewards," Ryan announced. "Any questions?"
As the guaranteed rewards for others appeared, Ryan surveyed the crowd and spoke slowly. At this moment, everyone was still captivated by the chat group's wonders. Even the First Hokage and others who had participated in two meetings felt the same way. There was no denying the incredible nature of this chat group.
Upon hearing Ryan's question, everyone involuntarily exchanged glances and shook their heads. Seeing their response, Ryan refrained from saying more. With the meeting nearing its end, Ryan directed his attention to Tsunade from Road to Ninja.
"A significant crisis will soon arise in your world," he warned. "Don't forget the purpose of the Hokage chat group. Press the help button if needed, and we will come to your aid."
Wearing a serious expression, Tsunade nodded. Having numerous otherworldly allies ready to assist her was more than enough to overcome any crisis.
With the instructions given, Ryan smiled at the crowd and said, "And with that, this meeting comes to a close."
"See you at our next gathering."
"If you ever face an insurmountable crisis, press the mutual help button in due time."
Ryan chose to conclude the Hokage meeting. As he made his decision, a vibrant light engulfed everyone within the chat group space. When they opened their eyes again, their consciousness had returned to their respective worlds.
In the First Hokage's world, Hashirama opened his eyes. Surveying the familiar surroundings, he knew he had returned. Eagerly anticipating the rewards obtained from the chat group, Hashirama couldn't contain his excitement. He mentally urged the chat group, "Claim the reward!"
Thinking about possessing abilities similar to Madara, his former comrade, Hashirama's excitement only grew second by second.
"Ding! Rewards have been distributed."
Listening to the familiar sound of the system prompt, Hashirama felt a tingling sensation in his eyes. However, it quickly faded away, replaced by a heightened clarity of vision. With Sharingan and Byakugan already in his possession, Hashirama hurriedly approached a mirror.
Examining his eyes, he discovered a complete transformation. His left eye now bore the Sharingan, similar to Madara's, while his right eye possessed the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. Both eyes seamlessly integrated with Hashirama's being.
As Sharingan spun under the influence of Hashirama's Sage Body, the once solitary tomoe began evolving into a second tomoe.
"This is Madara's power," Hashirama murmured, sensing the might of Sharingan. His thoughts were filled with memories of his old friend, Madara, now separated by the forces of life and death.
If only Madara were still alive...
