Chapter 362 - New Group Members

In the blink of an eye—

It has been two months since a new Hokage last joined the chat group.

For two whole months, no new members appeared, and the original three new Hokages had already become veterans.

However, during this time, the members of the group had significantly become stronger.

Even Kakashi, who was originally at the bottom of the combat rankings had advanced from early Kage-level to late Kage-level.

He was now just a step away from reaching the peak of Kage-level.

The growth in strength was no small matter.

Meanwhile, Hashirama, who had already reached quasi-Six Paths level, finally broke through to the true Six Paths-level.

Currently, his strength is at the early Six Paths level.

Second only to Ryosuke and Madara!

Madara had spent the past two months developing his Rinnegan, accumulating points, and gathering valuable items to sell in the group mall.

Finally, a few days ago, he collected enough points to purchase an Ōtsutsuki corpse.

Then, he spent a few days working with Orochimaru, who successfully extracted Ōtsutsuki blood from the corpse.

It's worth mentioning that Orochimaru has now become a highly sought-after figure in the group.

His exclusive skill of extracting Ōtsutsuki blood made him irreplaceable.

As a result, he had earned a ton of points in recent weeks.

After all, if he could extract Ōtsutsuki blood, extracting anything else was a walk in the park.

And with each extraction, he earned another chunk of points.

This steady flow of earnings had allowed him to amass a significant fortune.

However—

Despite his wealth of points, Orochimaru's personal strength hadn't improved much.

That's because he was fully focused on creating the perfect vessel.

Using the Ōtsutsuki corpse Ryosuke had given him, he had finally developed what he considered a perfect body.

Now, only one step remained—

Transferring his soul into the new vessel!

This final step was crucial, and Orochimaru needed a few days to prepare.

But once the reincarnation is complete—

He might even surpass Madara and claim the second spot in the group rankings.

Aside from Ryosuke, no one else in the group knew about Orochimaru's plan.

Everyone assumed he was simply focusing on earning points, which explained why his combat strength hadn't improved.

But no one questioned his actions.

After all—

With enough points, increasing one's strength is just a matter of time.

So no one believed Orochimaru was slacking off. After all, earning points was also part of the game.

Combat Power Rankings

[NO.1] Ryosuke

[NO.2] Uchiha Madara

[NO.3] Senju Hashirama

[NO.4] Senju Tobirama

[NO.5] Namikaze Minato

[NO.6] Hatake Sakumo

[NO.7] Shimura Danzō

[NO.8] Orochimaru

[NO.9] Sarutobi Hiruzen

[NO.10] Hatake Kakashi

"Except for Sarutobi Hiruzen and Kakashi, everyone else has reached at least quasi Super Kage level."

"Kakashi, on the other hand, advanced from early Kage-level to late Kage-level, jumping two entire ranks. Not bad!"

"But Hiruzen… what the hell is he doing?"

"Why is he still stuck at the peak of Kage-level?"

Ryosuke glanced at the combat power rankings.

Once again, Sarutobi Hiruzen had fallen to second-to-last place.

"I don't get it."

If everyone had been improving at the same rate, it wouldn't have been an issue.

But the problem was—

Even Danzō, who was previously ranked below Hiruzen, had now climbed up to seventh place.

Yet Hiruzen had regressed to the bottom two instead.

"What's going on?"

"Is he stockpiling points for a big move?"

Come to think of it—

That was a real possibility.

For example, what if Hiruzen was saving up points to purchase a Rinnegan?

If that was the case, then it made sense that his strength hadn't improved lately.

After all—

For ordinary ninjas like him, peak Kage-level is already the natural limit.

Reaching Super Kage-level?

It's not that easy!

Even advancing to Quasi-Super Kage-level is a major challenge.

"Looks like Hiruzen is really saving up for something big." Ryosuke mused with a smirk.

"I wonder how long it will take him to gather enough points?"

750,000 points was nothing to Ryosuke.

But for the rest of the group?

That was a serious grind.

"I wonder how much Hiruzen has saved so far?"

"Maybe half?"

[First Hokage] Hashirama:

"I'm so bored! There's nothing fun happening lately. Madara, let me come to your side! I'll keep you company!"

[First Hokage] Madara:

"Heh! I'm busy. I have no time to play with you."

[First Hokage] Hashirama:

"Wow~! Madara, you've changed! You used to always welcome me. Are you saying… love fades over time?"

[Fourth Hokage] Sakumo: "Wait… love? Hashirama-sama, what kind of love are we talking about here?"

[First Hokage] Hashirama: "Brotherly love, of course! What else?!"

[First Hokage] Madara: "Sakumo, are you free? How about a little sparring in the battle arena?"

[Fourth Hokage] Sakumo: "Haha~! No thanks. I wouldn't stand a chance against you, Madara-sama!"

[Third Hokage] Danzō: "Two months and still no new members? This is getting boring. But at least I've saved up some points. I am planning to enhance ten times in a row."

[Fourth Hokage] Minato: "Our strength has increased a lot over the past two months—big thanks to the enhancement function!"

[Third Hokage] Danzō: "Exactly! But someone here seems to be standing still. Looks like they're about to fall to last place."

[Third Hokage] Hiruzen: "Danzō, no need to be so smug. Sure, I haven't become stronger recently, but do you have any idea how many points I've saved up?"

[Sixth Hokage] Kakashi: "How much?"

[Third Hokage] Hiruzen: "470,000! Look, I will soon save up to 750,000, and then buy a pair of Rinnegan! At that time, I will reach Super Kage-level in one step. Danzo, what are you comparing me to?"

[Third Hokage] Danzō: "Hmph~! Even if you have the Rinnegan, can you use it? Don't be ashamed if you can't use it at all!"

[Third Hokage] Hiruzen: "I don't need to worry about this!"

"Damn Hiruzen!"

In a parallel world

Danzō saw the message from Sarutobi Hiruzen in the chat group, and burst the teacup in his hand in anger.

He was in a good mood today.

But now...

His good mood was completely ruined by this Sarutobi Hiruzen.

During this period of time, Danzō had tried his best to collect all kinds of items that can be exchanged for points.

Whether it is kekkei genkais or various treasures, all of them were offered together.

Especially ninjas with kekkei genkais.

The group mall does not accept the same ninjutsu, but if it is a corpse with the same kekkei genkai, it can be sold repeatedly.

Danzo didn't know why, but he didn't care.

Anyway, he can get points.

Therefore, during this period of time, Danzo spent a lot of energy, earning almost 200,000 points.

With these points, he not only enhanced a whole set of +15 equipment, but also purchased a bloodline potion.

The specific transaction method is that Danzo first pays 50% of the points as a deposit in the form of a red envelope.

Orochimaru then offers him the bloodline potion.

He then pays the remaining 50% points.

Red envelopes are also a small feature that appeared in the chat group two months ago.

Because it is a small function, it has not been actively prompted by the chat group before.

The same small functions also include live broadcast, group mall storage, etc.

In terms of live broadcast, Hashirama, who can't sit still and is basically invincible in his own world, is enthusiastic, and he broadcasts live almost every three to five times.

A lot of people went to see it at the beginning.But there was no one watching after that.

Mainly because it's meaningless.

And group mall storage means that group members deposit their items in the group mall, set a label of [not for sale], and then they can store things in the group mall.

They can just take it out when they want to use it.

But this is not for nothing, the storage function of the group mall requires a daily fee of 100 points.

It's not expensive but not cheap either.

Therefore, no one would leave an item in the group mall for too long.

They would just leave it for a day or two.

Think of it as a portable space that needs to be used for a fee.

Because of buying the bloodline potion, now Danzo has awakened a pair of three tomoe Sharingan.

This has greatly improved his strength, not only because of the Three Tomoe Sharingan, but also because of the physical improvement.

It also increased the amount of his Chakra by two or three times.

Coupled with the blessing of foreign objects, his strength rating reached quasi-super Kage-level!

But this is already the limit of what Danzō can do in the short term.

Further up, is the real Super Kage-level. But that is not easy to achieve.

Looking at the chat group, when he first joined, he was not super Kage-level, but now he has been promoted to super Kage-level, and there is only Minato!

And Minato also relied on foreign aid.

Otherwise, he would not have become so much stronger.

But now, Minato is in the early stages of super Kage level in the rating of the chat group.

With such strength, his combat power ranking reached the fifth place!

Only under the monster and the two brothers!

When Tobirama and Hashirama had joined the chat group, they were already super Kage level.

A mid super Kage-level, and a quasi-Six Paths level!

And now, Tobirama's strength rating is only peak Super Kage level.

He us still quite a distance away from invincible Super Kage-level, let alone quasi-Six Paths level.

There is still a long way to go!

Only Minato and Madara have really upgraded by a major level.

Just the two of them.

As for Ryosuke?

His rating in the chat group at the beginning was invincible Six Paths level.

But in fact, it was a misjudgment because the chat group could not detect the bonus of the talent entry.

Actually, at that time, he was already at invincible god level.

And now...

It is not clear whether there is really a division like the high god level above the god level.

So Ryosuke still put himself in the level of god level.

It doesn't count as breaking through a major level!

And as one of the only two group members in the chat group who have broken through a major level, Minato was proud.

In contrast, Danzō's improvement is nothing.

Ding~!

"Welcome[Fifth Hokage] Tsunade, join the Hokage chat group!"

"Welcome[Seventh Hokage] Uchiha Sasuke, join the Hokage chat group!"

"Welcome[Eighth Hokage] Uchiha Sarada, join the Hokage chat group!"

The sudden appearance of newcomers entering the group interrupted Danzō's angry roar.

"Seventh Hokage? Eighth Hokage?!"

Danzō looked at the three Hokages who had joined the group in surprise.

That Fifth Hokage Tsunade did not attract his attention.

After all, he has long known that in many worlds, Konoha's Fifth Hokage is Tsunade.

For example, the world where Kakashi is located, and the world where he belongs, if there is no accident in the future, the Fifth Hokage will also be Tsunade.

But the Seventh Hokage and Eighth Hokage really surprised him.

The Seventh Hokage is okay as he has heard the name Uchiha Sasuke many times.

But who is this Eighth Hokage Uchiha Sarada?

He has never heard that name.

'However, I can use these two newcomers to obtain some future information!' Danzō thought to himself.
