23 Chapter 23 : Truth Seeking Ball

Golden List Live Room,

A black sphere appeared on the screen in the live broadcast room, one of the rewards.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya were the first to recognize it.

Truth-Seeking Ball!

[Truth-Seeking Ball: A unique substance formed by the principles of yin and yang, containing the essence of all things. Unattainable by those below the level of the Six Paths. Selecting this item will grant you a Truth-Seeking Ball directly!]

"What? You can acquire a Truth-Seeking Ball directly!"

Kaguya was astounded. If this villain obtains another Truth-Seeking Ball, will his power surpass hers directly?

Truth-Seeking Balls can be created through the ninja's chakra attributes, even if consumed, they can be slowly regenerated over time.

The number of Truth-Seeking Balls reflects the strength of Six Paths within the user. For example, Kaguya can create up to thirteen Truth-Seeking Balls, her ultimate limit. 

However, she can craft a grand Truth-Seeking Ball that other Ōtsutsuki clan members cannot.

When she was sealed, her son, Hagoromo, could only form nine Truth-Seeking Balls, and he might have produced a few more later. 

Yet, achieving additional Truth-Seeking Balls as a Six Paths-level being is challenging and requires many years of penance.

But now, this golden list can grant a direct Truth-Seeking Ball addition, equivalent to saving years of hard work and breaking one's shackles.

At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Hamura was also envious. At his death, he possessed only nine Truth-Seeking Balls. 

Having more Truth-Seeking Balls symbolizes greater Six Paths power within the body. Adding one more would undoubtedly boost his strength significantly.

[Uchiha Madara: So, it's a direct addition of a Truth-Seeking Ball, meaning an instant power boost. What an incredible reward!]

[Kakashi: While I'm not entirely sure about the significance of Truth-Seeking Balls, this reward seems impressive.]

[Senju Hashirama: Truth-Seeking Balls appear to be remarkable. I wonder if we can get one. It would feel rather impressive!]

[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, perhaps you should ask the Sage of Six Paths himself. We are also descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' bloodline; maybe he'll grant you one?]

[Senju Hashirama: Good point! Sage of Six Paths, my forefather, my ancestor, bestow upon me a Truth-Seeking Ball!]

[Senju Tobirama: Big brother, you dare to ask for such treasures. Sage of Six Paths probably has a purpose for them, right? How could he just give you one?]

[Senju Hashirama: It doesn't hurt to ask. What if he grants it?]

"Getting a Truth-Seeking Ball directly, what an excellent reward!" Sage of Six Paths exclaimed.

Since he was also on the list for the first time, he had no choice but to accept this reward.

"Extract Truth-Seeking Ball!" Sage of Six Paths proclaimed.

Hum! A terrifying power descended, pouring directly into him, allowing no room for resistance.

A Truth-Seeking Ball materialized behind him, making a total of twelve.

This was his limit for Truth-Seeking Balls' condensation!

No one knew that he had accumulated so many Truth-Seeking Balls from the beginning to the end. He had a knack for concealing them, even his younger brother was unaware of the extent of his power.

However, under the influence of the Golden List, his Truth-Seeking Balls had nowhere to hide; they were all revealed.

Soon, the power of Six Paths filled him, gradually increasing the Six Paths power within him. Eventually, another Truth-Seeking Ball emerged.

"Thirteen Truth-Seeking Balls!" Sage of Six Paths' strength surged once more. Even though he existed only in soul form without a physical body, his Six Paths power remained substantial.

Of course, exerting strength without a physical body posed challenges. Nevertheless, Sage of Six Paths was content with the boost in his power, unlike in the past.

Today's era had changed, and he sensed that the Ōtsutsuki clan, which his mother hailed from, was likely sending someone. Moreover, the mysterious Yasao's identity remained unknown.

If his strength improved, he would have more confidence to face any potential future challenges.

Soon, the tenth-place reward was announced.

This time, the reward was still a Truth-Seeking Ball, but slightly smaller, containing less Six Paths power.

Ōtsutsuki Hamura was also satisfied with this reward.

Pure Land.

Nine Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind Ōtsutsuki Hamura. Soon, the tenth Truth-Seeking Ball materialized, significantly bolstering his Six Paths power.

The eleventh place's Amazuma spear was still in the possession of Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo. Therefore, the eleventh-place reward also belonged to Sage of Six Paths.

Soon, the eleventh-ranked treasure appeared in the live broadcast room. However, this time, it wasn't a Truth-Seeking Ball but an elixir.

[Elixir of the Primordial Spirit: It enhances soul power and spiritual strength, particularly beneficial for Six Paths-level individuals, offering about a 10% increase in Six Paths-level spiritual power.]

[Uchiha Madara: A great item! It can amplify the power of the Sharingan techniques significantly.]

[Uchiha Itachi: Elixir of the Primordial Spirit is indeed valuable.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Elixir of the Primordial Spirit, if I can obtain it, I might stand a chance against that man!]

[Uchiha Itachi: @Sasuke, I'm waiting for that day. But can you really do it?]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Just wait and see, I'll defeat you!]

[Uchiha Mikoto: @Sasuke, my son, don't succumb to hatred. We don't blame your brother.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Mom, let's not discuss this issue further. I have made my choice.]

[Senju Tobirama: Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan requires considerable pupil power. Elixir of the Primordial Spirit could enhance his strength significantly, making it a fitting reward.]

More than Sage of Six Paths, all ninja with bloodline limit-based techniques like the Sharingan could benefit from Elixir of the Primordial Spirit.

Soon, Sage of Six Paths obtained the Elixir of the Primordial Spirit.

Without hesitation, he consumed the it in his soul form. The energy from the Elixir improved his soul and spiritual strength, though not as dramatically as the Soul Golden Fruit, it was still a significant enhancement.

[Fourth Raikage: It's my turn for the next reward. I hope it can greatly boost my strength!]

Being on the list for the second time, the Fourth Raikage had two treasures to choose from this time.

Subsequently, two treasures appeared in the live broadcast room, presenting the Fourth Raikage with a difficult choice.
