73 Chapter 72 : Top Spot On List?
Summoning King World?
"Fate world?"
Amidst a chaotic pause, no one expected that Uchiha Ran would respond to Akatsuki's Uchiha Itachi's question.
Considering that Uchiha Ran's parents perished during the Nine Tails Rebellion when he was merely three years old, and the Uchiha clan met its demise six years later when he was just nine, it's likely that he hadn't even awakened his Sharingan.
It's understandable that his feelings towards Uchiha Itachi differ significantly from those of Uchiha Sasuke.
However, he now holds the position of the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, and Uchiha Itachi is an esteemed Konoha Ronin. Is it appropriate for him to answer?
Doubts lingered within the crowd.
Nevertheless, he remained silent, and even Onoki, known for his fiery temperament, did the same.
Because everyone was intensely curious about the Summoning King World and the Fate World. What unique powers do these worlds possess compared to the worlds of Fairy Tail, Shinigami, and Dragon Ball?
Only Uchiha Ran could provide answers to these questions.
"He truly possesses extensive knowledge!"
Above the tower of the Rain Shinobi Village, Uchiha Madara refrained from provoking Uzumaki Nagato for now and instead focused on the gold list, eagerly anticipating Uchiha Ran's forthcoming explanation.
[Uchiha Ran: In the world of the King of Summoning, individuals known as Summoners cultivate witch power, rather than chakra, spiritual energy, or ki.]
Summoners who practice witchcraft?
This revelation piqued the interest of the gathered crowd.
The curiosity surrounding the King of Summoning's world deepened.
However, the enigma surrounding Uchiha Ran grew even more profound.
If his understanding of the Bloodline Limit matter stemmed from his knowledge, and his grasp of Myriad Realms was rooted in Buddhism, where did his profound comprehension of the Summoning King's world come from?
This man was a puzzle.
[Uchiha Ran: Summoners can enter a trance-like state, communicate directly with gods, elves, and spirits of the deceased, and seek their approval and assistance. With this power, Summoners can heal various ailments, manipulate politics, and wield abilities beyond human reach in the mortal world. Their spirit and their summoned beings grow stronger together, enhancing their magical prowess.]
"Sigh~"
"Communication with gods and spirits of the deceased?"
"Can they receive assistance from these entities and utilize their powers?"
"If there were Summoners in our world, couldn't they summon the souls of the Pure Land and harness the power of spirits?"
The revelation of the Summoners' abilities left many breathless.
For many, this mystical power was beyond comprehension, yet a select few felt envy and covetousness.
"Fortunately, there are no Summoners in the ninja world, and there's no way for us to become Summoners. Otherwise, Konoha would no longer be the same," mused Onoki sentimentally.
If ninjas could become Summoners...
Considering the frequency and number of Konoha's Powerhouses from Senju Hashirama and Tobirama to Konoha's White Fang, Namikaze Minato, and others, the outcome would be evident.
No need to engage in battles.
Many contemplated, "If I were a Summoner, wouldn't I be able to communicate with the Sage of Six Paths and harness the power of the Sage?"
A wave of inner turmoil washed over the crowd.
At this moment, Uchiha Ran continued:
[Uchiha Ran: The Fate Worldview is more intricate, so I won't delve further into it.]
[Onoki: Hey, Fifth Hokage, do you underestimate us? Do we lack the capacity to grasp complexity?]
[Rasa: Complexity doesn't matter; what we need are details.]
[Uzumaki Naruto: The Summoning King's world sounds great! If I could become a Summoner, I'd ask my dad to fight for me.]
[Namikaze Minato: ???]
[Uchiha Ran: Interested in hearing more? Very well! How about I give you a free lecture on it for a day, with each Ninja Village contributing an S-rank Ninjutsu to Konoha in exchange?]
[Onoki: Um, well, Fifth Hokage, I eagerly anticipate your lecture next time.]
[Fourth Raikae Ai: Listening to stories is a child's game.]
[Terumi Mei: Who can sway the thoughts and decisions of the Fifth Hokage? Right?]
[Uchiha Ran: Ah!]
A chorus of playful demands emerged.
If truly delivered, the lecture would become excessively verbose.
[Uchiha Ran: Heroic Spirits are individuals who achieved remarkable feats in the past, becoming legendary figures after their death, embodying the essence of belief.
They may or may not have existed in reality but live on in myths and legends. By gathering belief, they attain freedom from the constraints of time and occupy a transcendent position as Heroic Spirits.
In theory, they can live eternally and can be summoned throughout all eras, past and future.]
Uchiha Ran didn't elaborate much on this concept, but the mere mention of Heroic Spirits left everyone in awe.
Eternal life, free from the limitations of time – what more could one desire?
"Immortality!"
"Timelessness, the ability to be summoned across the past and the future – this world is truly fascinating."
Orochimaru's excitement was palpable; he practically trembled with anticipation.
Immortality and eternal existence had always been his pursuits, second only to acquiring strength.
Lastly, there was knowledge.
Now, Uchiha Ran revealed a world where Heroic Spirits existed, and as long as one could become a hero-like figure or garner belief, they could become Heroic Spirits and attain the eternal life he coveted.
A truly heartwarming prospect.
"Next, I intend to analyze the potential follow-up list and strive to be among the top ranks."
"Securing a spot on that list would enable interactions with various worlds, including Fate World and it's Heroic Spirits."
"It seems that the Second Hokage's speculations were correct. Most options on the list's rewards likely stem from the desires of those on it. If I make it onto the list..."
Numerous thoughts churned in Orochimaru's mind.
At this very moment, Orochimaru couldn't wait to begin plotting. He would eliminate Sarutobi Hiruzen swiftly and then embark on his quest for immortality.
Just like Orochimaru, many individuals were captivated by the notion of Heroic Spirits.
[Senju Hashirama: If I were placed in that world, I could surely become a Heroic Spirit, don't you think?]
[Senju Tobirama: The Kages of every Hidden Village should qualify. They are the heroes of their respective villages, though regrettably, such power doesn't exist in the ninja world.]
[Rasa: What a shame, indeed.]
Tobirama's sobering words left the Kage from various villages feeling somewhat unsettled.
Even Danzo, who had been contemplating his retreat, was taken aback.
The Hokage's Position!
"I must leave a legacy!"
Resolute determination swelled within him as he resolved to establish his very own ninja village.
Who would top the Bloodline Limit list was a question that consumed everyone in the ninja world.
[Onoki: Naturally, the top spot on the Bloodline Limit list will belong to me. If not, I'll eat... my hat!]
In the sky, a three-dimensional image materialized—an enigmatic young man known to none.
One thing was certain: it wasn't Onoki!
