From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 240 Congratulations to the two of you on reaching Sequence 9!
What is a surprise? This is a surprise!

Orochimaru and Sakumo were suddenly hit by this unexpected windfall, leaving them dazed and confused.

The 'magic potion' they had always dreamed of had suddenly appeared in their possession, leaving them in a daze, almost as if it were a dream.

Onoki and Konan looked at them with envy in their eyes, wishing they were the ones in the photos.

Mikoto remained indifferent. She didn't care whether she could become an Extraordinary One or not. Besides, she was a newcomer who had just joined, so she was not qualified to compete with them. She might as well let it go: "Congratulations to you both."

"Well, once you embark on this path, you must be extremely cautious."

Although Hagoromo Otsutsuki was somewhat envious, he was not jealous. He advised, "The path to godhood may allow one to ascend to heaven in one step, but it is fraught with difficulties. Only by guarding one's true self and not being tempted by external things can one remain safe and sound."

"As a price, next time you will each need to hand over a 'blasphemous tablet'."

Uchiha Muneki's eyes flickered slightly as he said, "In that case, if you feel it's inappropriate, you can refuse."

reject?

Only a fool would refuse!
Orochimaru shook his head like a rattle-drum, as if afraid that if he was too slow, this good thing would fall into someone else's lap: "No, no, no, Mr. Adam, I completely agree with your deal, and I think it's perfectly reasonable."

"me too."

After racking his brains, Bai Ya finally managed to come up with this sentence.

Although everyone understands the principle, could you please tone it down a bit?
Seeing how eager 'Lycoris Radiata' was, everyone could guess what she was thinking. She was afraid of being robbed, and they muttered a few curses in their hearts.

"Very good, in that case"

Sitting at the head of the table, Uchiha Muneki's eyes gleamed with a faint golden light: "Then make your choice."

As soon as the words fell, an aura of pressure emanating from the person in a high position descended like a heavy mountain. That pure aura, stemming from the difference in life levels, was like an abyss that made people stop in their tracks, making those seated on both sides of the bronze table feel as if they could hardly breathe.

"The Hermit!"

"The White Pagoda!"

"The Perfectionist!"

"Twilight Giant!"

"tyrant!"

Every time Uchiha Sogetsu uttered a name, the immense pressure emanating from the starry sky intensified, like overlapping raging waves.

Finally, five cards, each engraved with different mysterious symbols and represented by simple lines, appeared on the bronze table. The surrounding void was affected, exhibiting strange phenomena such as distortion, collapse, lightning, or disintegration under the power of the rules.

Everyone's attention was completely drawn in, unable to look away.

This was the first time they had ever seen the 'path of God' in a real sense.

Looking at the five exquisite cards, Orochimaru and White Fang seemed a little flustered, like beggars who had suddenly become rich and didn't know how to spend them. They turned their bewildered gazes to the 'Adam' in the head seat, wanting to seek help from Him.

"Don't be too nervous, just follow your heart."

Uchiha Muneki smiled slightly. In any case, the path they had chosen had already been determined.

In front of the audience, the so-called "following one's heart" is tantamount to being manipulated by them.

There's nothing he can do about it; that's all the 'extraordinary trait' he has at the moment.
Although the system has opened a low-sequence extraordinary path material shop, exchanging for them requires paying an equivalent price, which comes from the real 'Desecration Slab' and the 'Chaotic Sea' of the source matter, causing subtle changes to the entire ninja world under its influence.

For example, some organisms possess extraordinary characteristics.

It's not hard to imagine that the future ninja world will see more and more creatures with extraordinary characteristics, as well as ability users who embark on extraordinary paths.

All that comes together must separate, and all that separates must come together. Uchiha Muneki sighed inwardly, unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. While pondering this, Orochimaru and White Fang, driven by an inner voice, made their respective choices.

"I choose the Twilight Giant."

From the very beginning, White Fang's gaze was fixed on the card with three crossed swords; his intuition told him that this was what he wanted most.

“Yes, this path is very suitable for you.”

Uchiha Muneki nodded and said calmly, "The Twilight Giant pathway, also known as the 'God of War' pathway because of the corresponding True God, has a Sequence 9 potion: Warrior. Those who are extraordinary in this pathway possess superhuman strength and agility, are proficient in all kinds of weapons and armor, and can master any fighting technique."

Onoki and the others immediately looked on with envy; this route was simply perfect for 'ninjas'!

Moreover, just hearing the name makes it incredibly powerful; it's a path to becoming a war god!
Although it's just a simple enhancement of physical fitness, ninjas are almost all "fragile chickens," so the simpler the improvement, the better it is for them.

Furthermore, based on Bai's repeated statements, it can be basically confirmed that he is a ninja proficient in taijutsu and assassination. Now that he has been enhanced by the "God of War" path, he will likely be even more terrifying!
"So, what's your choice?"

Uchiha Muneki looked at Orochimaru, waiting for him to make a decision.

"I"

Orochimaru hesitated, his gaze shifting back and forth between the 'Perfect One' and the 'White Tower'.

Both cards held equal allure for him; the stirring within him made it impossible for him to accurately determine which path to choose.

"Have you considered it?"

Uchiha Munetsuki knew about his predicament, but he didn't intend to interfere, because both the 'White Tower' and the 'Perfect One' were suitable for him.

The White Tower leans towards abstract 'knowledge', seeking to understand and explore the essence of the world and delve into its rules.

The Perfect One, on the other hand, leans more towards the 'knowledge' of reality, focusing on restoring the original form of matter. They can create all sorts of extraordinary tools, and their core mission is to lead civilization to leaps forward.

Given Orochimaru's personality, both are a good fit for him.

The Church of Corpses fell into a brief silence. Looking at the conflicted Orochimaru, Uchiha Muneki did not urge him, but waited quietly.

Finally, after much hesitation, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Mr. Adam, I choose the 'White Tower'!"

"The white pagoda symbolizes the pursuit, mastery, and dissemination of knowledge."

Uchiha Munezuki said slowly and deliberately, "Furthermore, the extraordinary individuals of the White Tower Path are closely related to order and wisdom. The Sequence 9 potion is: The Reader, which can enhance memory and comprehension, and can use ritual magic. If one reads a lot of books, one will have a wealth of knowledge."

Upon hearing this, the crowd's expressions varied; some agreed, while others were puzzled.

After all, judging from the descriptions alone, the extraordinary individuals through the 'White Tower' pathway seem significantly less appealing than those through the 'God of War' pathway.

Increase your knowledge?

Improve your memory?
What use is this thing to a ninja?
Onoki curled his lip. If it were him, he would definitely choose 'Tyrant'. It sounds incredibly powerful!

"Thank you very much, Mr. Adam."

However, Orochimaru smiled with satisfaction after hearing this.

He didn't care about the strength of power; what he truly wanted was the pursuit of knowledge, understanding the essence of things, and exploring the rules of the world.

"There's one last thing you need to know."

Uchiha Munezuki tapped the table lightly with his index finger and said slowly, "The ninja world is undergoing subtle changes. This is both an opportunity and a threat for you."
