[Ohnoki: Ahem, I think we should answer the questions first?]
[Senju Hashirama: Hey, I've finished answering!]
[Ding! Selection time ends!]
[Ding! Number of people who chose A: 232,710]
[Ding! Number of people who chose B: 4,216]
[Uchiha Madara: Multiple choice question? Why are you still hesitating if you don't choose? It's a choice between two options, idiot!]
[Fourth Raikage: My status in this group is dropping day by day. I thought as Raikage, I'd at least be top-ranked, but…]
[Mei Terumi: I have the right to remain silent. I don't want to say anything more. Next question!]
[Rasa: Tsk, my son is still the strongest. Everyone else has disappeared, but my son keeps fighting~]
[Gaara: Heh…]
[Ding! The correct answer to the current question is B! Randomly draw gold coins!]
[Ding! 680,000 gold coins have been drawn! Distribution has ended!]
[Ding! Choosing the wrong option will extend the current buffs, including hand seal restriction, feminization, and kidney deficiency, by 1 day!]
[Uchiha Madara: Humph! Just one day!]
[Senju Tobirama: I'm so fucking nauseous. 680,000 gold coins? Divided among 4,216 people?]
[Senju Hashirama: Yes, I only got 161 gold coins. What a stingy system…]
[Ohnoki: Well, it's something at least…]
[Might Guy: If I didn't die, who saved me? Could it be Rock Lee?]
[Rock Lee: Ah… me… me?]
[Ding! Question 2! Who saved Might Guy in the video?]
[Ding! The reward for a correct answer is one Truth-Seeking Orbs and one disposable experience card, redeemable for 66.66 million. The penalty for an incorrect answer is unknown!]
[Ding! This is a timely question. Just naming the person counts as an answer! The penalty is severe. Answer carefully!]
(The 66.66 million comes from dividing the 660 million cost of the last Truth-Seeking Orbs Set by ten, since one Truth-Seeking Orbs can transform into a Six Paths Staff. If there's any mistake, it will be corrected later.)
Ever since the last Truth-Seeking Orbs Set appeared for 660 million, it caused a massive stir in the Ninja World.
It was the closest the Pure Land souls had ever come to resurrection—an opportunity to ascend in one step.
One hundred million worth of Mangekyo, traded for some chakra and ninjutsu. If perfected, the Mangekyo could lead straight to Susanoo.
And now, the item in front of them was worth 60 million. Even exchanging it for three magatama could make one stronger.
The copy ninja Kakashi only has three magatama!
[Uchiha Madara: Among the people present, who can save him?]
[Senju Hashirama: Yes, the ball looks extremely powerful. Even I would need several hands to block it!]
[Uchiha Madara: Shut up! Can't you just let me show off?]
[Senju Hashirama: …]
[Senju Tobirama: Honestly, a battle like this leaves almost no room for intervention. And there's no one else on the scene, so many conditions remain unknown. For example, what is that massive tree? How did the battlefield become like this? Why is the moon red? These are all mysteries…]
[Senju Tsunade: So all the clues are gone? We can only guess?]
[Fourth Raikage: You guess carefully. We won't intervene—we're all not from Konoha…]
[Mei Terumi: I'm just the shadow of the village. I don't even get a chance to appear? Looks like I went to lunch early, so I won't compete for questions!]
[Ohnoki: This old man doesn't want to involve himself in Konoha affairs…]
[Gaara: I am present, but I am still young, so I will remain silent…]
[Nara Shikaku: If time runs out and I cannot answer… System will punish the entire Ninja World. Tsk…]
At this moment, everyone traveled in the Pure Land—a place resembling the Ninja World.
Returning to their true homeland, some struggled to find their original homes. Villages had vanished or been rebuilt elsewhere.
For those with regrets, everything felt both strange and familiar.
They wanted to cry, but it felt pretentious. This was the place where they were born and raised.
Fallen leaves return to their roots.
(In the days before the internet, many wanted to see their hometowns one last time before dying. I'm grateful to live in a peaceful, modern era.)
[Senju Tobirama: Since the other ninja villages don't want to intervene, let's talk about the situation. The reward is 60 million, meaning the penalty is at least one million. Be careful not to answer randomly! If collateral isn't enough…]
Tobirama's words struck everyone. Up to now, no one had died from the system.
Is it because the system is new, so it hasn't killed anyone yet?
Everyone, including Uchiha Madara and Akatsuki, fell into deep thought.
What is the purpose of this inexplicable system?
Even Senju Hashirama remained silent, smiling at the absurdity, clearly finding the situation amusing.
Only when facing Madara did he narrow his eyes in serious contemplation.
The system's expectations far exceeded his comprehension.
While Hashirama pondered, Tobirama analyzed deeper.
Before Impure World Reincarnation, no one understood death. Even the god of death was willing to release himself.
Is the legendary Six Paths Sage present? Why don't they speak?
There's only one reason: this system surpasses their understanding.
Resurrection is uncertain. Yet… it can exchange lives from two worlds for one day.
This chapter reflects the thematic depth of Naruto: friendship, love, family, and the inexplicable mysteries of life and death.
Some elements remain intentionally vague to convey the complex emotions of the characters: Asuma, Jiraiya, Neji, and the legacy of youth and sacrifice.
Youth, passion, regret…
Even if not fully understood, it must be felt.
