255 Chapter 176.2 : Mutual Benefits!!

"Don't fret," Ran didn't utter a word but exchanged a glance with Tobirama.

Meanwhile, Luo Hao, as the head of the martial arts alliance, held a fan in her hand. She rose to speak, her tone indifferent, "Voban, are you prepared to challenge your fate head-on?"

"What!"

With the naked eye, one could witness the transformation of the surroundings into a blossoming garden, with trees and plants springing up.

"Wood Style!?" Senju Hashirama stepped forward with curiosity evident in his eyes.

Viewers in the ninja world, following the proceedings through the Golden List live broadcast room, were equally intrigued.

"First Hokage's Wood Style?" 

Senju Hashirama glanced over and Ran in the live broadcast explained, "This woman is named Luo Hao. She ranks among the strongest individuals on the opposing side. The dynamic between her and Voban is akin to the relationship between Hashirama and Madara in the past, except she holds a distinguished position as the leader of the Chinese martial arts alliance, governing over five countries. (Due to the conflict between Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths brothers, significant landmasses sank, reducing the total area to that resembling a subcontinent)."

"The power of 'Fragrant Hundred Grass, Thousand Flower Profuse Blooming' is the ability usurped after defeating the wood god, 'Tai Sui Xing-kun'. It has the ability to manipulate the landscape, altering vast areas, and the restoration of these landforms will take at least half a year."

After finishing his explanation, Ran in the light curtain looked at Luo Hao with admiration.

That Hanfu attire brought back many memories.

Her meatball-like hairstyle resembled Tenten's, yet her expression exuded a captivating cuteness.

Despite the conservative nature of Hanfu, it failed to conceal her allure, accentuating her figure in a way that tempted mischief.

Ran's words stirred a commotion in the Ninja world.

Could this seemingly harmless woman possess such formidable power?

The ability to reshape the landscape of entire China implied dominion over the entire Ninja continent.

Furthermore, the longevity of this transformation, lasting at least half a year, completely reshaped the terrain.

It's worth noting that Hashirama's Wood Style, even when augmented by Sage Jutsu, cannot endure for such extended periods, typically dissipating within a month.

Sunagakure earnestly hoped that Luo Hao would lend her assistance.

However, in terms of both cuteness and prowess, Ikaros and Himari, who exuded an air of elegance, also possessed formidable strength.

Does cuteness equate to power?

Upon hearing Ran's words,Senju Hashirama expressed surprise, "So, the dynamic between me and Madara... does that mean that Luo Hao is slightly better than Voban?"

Everyone's reaction: ???

Your focus is crystal clear, isn't it?

"Oh, Hashirama, I can't handle this anymore!"

As soon as Madara unleashed his Gunbai, his voice dripped with anger, "Venture forth, engage now, and taste the bitterness of defeat."

Hashirama, with a sly grin, countered, "Hey, I don't engage in mere scuffles, I orchestrate. And you, Madara, if you shy away from battle, you'll forever dwell in the shadow of your past defeats."

"If you've got one, then let it fly before the color fades."

With those words, Hashirama leaped to the other side of the spectrum, urging Madara to "unleash" his wrath.

Meanwhile, amidst the brewing tension, Ran, indifferent to the brewing storm between the two friends, remained fixated on the golden scroll.

"Battle is inevitable, and this old man fears none of you."

Voban's eyes gleamed as the sky darkened, enveloped by thunderous clouds and raging tempests.

Each of them towering figures, capable of altering the very fabric of the world!

With a slight raise of her hand, Luo Hao, poised with the Twelve Divine Palm Strikes of the Phoenix, prepared for action.

Yet, before she could make her move, Ran's voice echoed from the golden list.

"Voban, you want to decline this legacy."

"Indeed!" Voban affirmed.

He, Sasha Dejanstahl Voban, spoke with unyielding resolve, unswayed by persuasion.

Your prowess may be formidable, but it does not extend to our world.

I harbor no fear.

As for what lies ahead, that's a discussion for another time.

"I, Voban, keep my word!"

"Understood," Ran muttered with a tinge of disappointment, "I had hoped to borrow certain artifacts, summoning the Golden-Horned King and Silver-Horned Bull KIng who are Heretic Gods from Chinese mythology, Susano'o from Japanese island lore, and even Princess Kaguya. Alas, it seems that opportunity has slipped through my grasp."

Voban: ???

At that moment, Ran let out another sigh: "In the game of mutual benefit, you have to take the lead."

"You might not be aware, but the Golden List occasionally serves as a gateway to different worlds, yet it can also serve as a passage to a specific world."

"Currently, I've come to control the gateways of two worlds."

"The next time I acquire it, I intend to explore the world of the Campione."

Voban:

Voban, unaware that the gateways led to random worlds, stood there in disbelief.

"Why haven't you mentioned something like this earlier?"

"Humph."

Voban suppressed his incredulity, forcing a smile as he remarked, "I was merely jesting, Mr. Ran."

"Mr. Ran took it seriously once. As for me, Voban, I hold the Heretic Gods in highest regard. I am grateful for the opportunity."

All: .....

"Your words carry weight indeed."
