All Hokage in The Chat Group

The voice of the chat group continued to echo. On the screen, the last three rankings appeared:

10th Place: Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato's World

World Strength Evaluation: 880 points

Minato's world had reached 880 points this time, a notable score. It was only 20 points shy of the 900-point mark—a nearly insignificant difference. The progress in Minato's world was evident to everyone.

When he asked other worlds for help, the other Hokages responded and assisted in dealing with the Akatsuki. Once those threats were neutralized, the rest was much smoother. Minato's world went from conquering other small countries and shinobi villages to unifying the entire world in a remarkably short time. As expected of the Yellow Flash of Konoha, everything happened too quickly.

11th Place: The Original Sixth Hokage Uchiha Sasuke's World

Final World Strength Evaluation: 750 points

12th Place: Fifth Hokage Kakashi's World

Final World Strength Evaluation: 740 points

These rankings came as no surprise to the last two. While they remained in the final spots, both had shown steady improvement. Sasuke's world, for instance, had strengthened its position by forming a strategic alliance with Suna, bringing greater stability and cooperation. Meanwhile, Kakashi's world had taken a more aggressive approach—recalling the legendary Sannin, waging war, and ultimately conquering Suna to expand its influence.

With the ranking of the last two worlds completed, the selection process finally came to an end. All 12 worlds had been ranked, and now the most anticipated moment had arrived: the reward phase.

At this point, all the Hokages' faces were filled with excitement. They sat quietly in their chairs, their eyes fixed on the central screen, waiting for the chat group to announce the rewards. Everyone was eager to find out what kind of rewards would be distributed this time.

Hashirama leaned forward with a grin, his excitement evident. "The rewards will surely be something we haven't seen! Each time, not a single reward has been repeated!"

Tobirama nodded in agreement, his expression more reserved but his eyes gleaming with interest. "Indeed Brother. Even the seventh place reached 1,000 points this time. It's clear that everyone is making rapid progress," he added, his analytical tone betraying a hint of anticipation.

The anticipation for the rewards was palpable; it was always the highlight of these meetings. The Hokages continued to discuss among themselves, the tension mounting with every passing moment.

Finally, the voice of the chat group broke through their chatter, and the screen began to change:

[Reward Settlement Completed!]

[First Place: Fourth Hokage Ryan's World]

The World Strength score for first place has reached an impressive 2400 points, meeting the criteria for a secondary-level world.

[Rewards will be drawn from the secondary-level world]

[Choose three out of five rewards]

Reward 1: Dual Rinnegan Palm Technique

Reward 2: Zanpakutō (random ability)

Reward 3: Heretic Path

Reward 4: Kāma

Reward 5: A Random Stand Ability

The atmosphere grew increasingly charged as the Hokages leaned forward, eager with anticipation to see which rewards Ryan would select.

Madara's eyes widened as he took in the list of rewards. "What? What kind of abilities are these?" he exclaimed, clearly taken aback by the unfamiliar options.

Tsunade squinted at the list, her curiosity piqued. "These abilities look a bit unusual. I recognize Zanpakutō and Stand, but the other three are completely new to me."

Hashirama, always quick to add his perspective, nodded in agreement. "Yeah! I'm familiar with Zanpakutō and Stand, but the Dual Rinnegan Palm Technique, Heretic Path, and Kāma are all new. They might be related to the Rinnegan, though. It's like they've come from a whole different level of jutsu."

As the trio examined the reward options, murmurs of confusion spread through the group. It wasn't their fault; most of these abilities were completely unfamiliar to them.

But for Ryan, the moment he saw the list, his eyes widened with excitement.

Ryan's eyes widened as he scanned the list of rewards. "This can't be real!" he thought, his mind racing. "The rewards this time… they're incredible!" He quickly realized that the rewards were closely related to Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's abilities.

While the others were puzzled, Ryan understood perfectly well. Aside from the standard rewards like a random Zanpakutō or Stand ability, the rest were Kekkei Tōta and Rnnegan techniques from the Ōtsutsuki clan!

Certainly, Momoshiki had been defeated relatively easily, but that didn't diminish the true power of his abilities. They were extraordinarily formidable—powers Ryan had long coveted. He had even requested the scientific research department to attempt cloning or uncovering the fundamental principles behind these techniques, but their efforts had been fruitless—until now.

"I never expected this," Ryan mused, a grin spreading across his face. "The rewards this time… they're incredible! Seeing these abilities here in the chat group is a dream come true."

This time, the reward mentioned these abilities specifically. Upon seeing them, Ryan didn't hesitate—he immediately chose all the abilities associated with the Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki!

The first ability, Dual Rinnegan Palm Technique, might have a strange name, but its power was anything but ordinary. It was one of Momoshiki's most formidable abilities and was unique to his Rinnegan. With this ability, two Rinnegans would appear in his palms. The Rinnegan on his right hand could absorb vast amounts of chakra, whether Ninjutsu or raw Chakra, completely assimilating it into his body. This not only restored his strength but could also make him even stronger.

Meanwhile, the Rinnegan on his left hand allowed him to reflect whatever he had just absorbed. The reflected force was even stronger than the originally absorbed, amplifying its power several times over. With such an ability, Ryan could now counter any ninjutsu, combining it with the powers he already possessed, making him virtually unstoppable.

The second ability, the Hertic Technique, while more common, was still an undeniably potent Rinngean ability. This technique enabled Ryan to create and launch black rods with the help of his Rinnegan at high speed. Upon hitting an enemy, these rods would directly disrupt the target's Chakra flow, rendering them unable to use Chakra. This skill could effectively neutralize any Shinobi.

With these two abilities at his disposal, Ryan was more powerful than ever.

Even for Naruto, if he were hit by this technique, he wouldn't be able to use his abilities for a short period. It's an incredibly powerful and exaggerated ability.

And then there was the final reward: Kāma. This was the most extraordinary ability of all. While it might not see much use in direct combat, it was an unparalleled tool for survival. The Kāma was a unique power of the Ōtsutsuki clan, allowing the user to convert their body into data and merge it with another person's body. A mark would appear on the host's body, and as long as the mark remained, the original owner could not die.

In other words, with the Kāma, Ryan had essentially achieved a form of immortality.

Obtaining these three abilities made Ryan feel elated. He still had the option to forgo these rewards and select others, but he had no intention of giving them up. These three powers were far too incredible—they filled him with immense satisfaction. With them, he could truly claim the title of the Ōtsutsuki.

Ryan chose the three abilities without hesitation. There was no need to deliberate further.

Once Ryan finished making his selections, the focus shifted to the rewards for the second-place winner.
