From Hokage to Visionary

At this moment, the flames of the brass oil lamps corresponding to each seat suddenly increased.

In a flash, everyone who seemed to have been bewitched by the 'Red Moon' suddenly woke up, and immediately broke out in cold sweats, showing expressions of fear.

"What is wrong with me?"

Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly, and cold sweat dripped down his face: "I seemed to see a moon just now?"

"Me too."

White Fang was still frightened, and his voice was slightly distorted and hoarse.

"I think I saw it too." Xiaonan's face turned pale and he felt scared.

"I saw a red moon." Uchiha Mikoto's reaction was even more extreme. She gasped for air and covered her uncontrollably opened Mangekyo. She said in horror, "Also, on the moon, there seems to be..."

"Shut up! Don't say any more!"

Otsutsuki Hagoromo held the Zen stick and struck the ground hard, and the sound was like thunder.

Uchiha Mikoto was awakened and sweating profusely again. This time she really felt the strange and inexplicable whisper and call that seemed to come from deep in her blood.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Adam."

Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked up at the chief seat again and bowed his head to apologize: "Please forgive my rudeness just now. It was only because it was too dangerous just now that I couldn't help but take action to stop Yue from continuing to speak."

"It doesn't matter."

Uchiha Sogetsu smiled, and raised his finger on the table: "You did the right thing, you don't have to apologize for it."

"What happened to me?" Uchiha Mikoto was terrified and gasped, "Why, I seem to be out of control."

"Because you are my blood descendant."

Otsutsuki Hagoromo sighed bitterly and said, "The Otsutsuki are a 'cursed' clan, and you have the blood of the Otsutsuki flowing in your body. Although it is very thin now, it is still bewitched by the moon, and is more easily 'contaminated' than anyone else."

"Pollution?" Orochimaru keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes, it is 'pollution'."

Otsutsuki Hagoromo nodded, frowned, and said, "According to my understanding, Mr. Adam and the beings on the Moon have extremely high "status". Their every word and every action conveys information and knowledge that is a disaster for us."

"It's like when a low-level life form comes into contact with a high-level force, it is unable to resist this force and suffers all the adverse effects."

"Such as going crazy, physical deformation, collapse after looking directly at a higher level form, etc."

Everyone looked at each other, listening to Otsutsuki Hagoromo's description, seemingly unable to understand, yet vaguely feeling terrified.

"Don't think I'm bluffing."

Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Why do you think Mr. Adam wants to hide his appearance? The reason is very simple, it is to protect you. If Mr. Adam reveals his true form, I am afraid that all of us will go crazy and collapse because our brains cannot understand his form of existence!"

"This has nothing to do with good or evil. It's simply that the level we are at is too low to understand the forms of higher-level life."

"Just like you don't care about the thoughts of mites, even if you think the release is good intention, it may be a disaster for the mite population."

"So, be thankful."

"Thank goodness that you met Mr. Adam, and we are sincerely grateful that a high-level being would show kindness to a group of mites, which is rare."

Yes, that’s absolutely right, that’s what you said!

Uchiha Sogetsu, who seemed calm, was actually filled with joy.

If he were to say these words, although they would have a certain effect, they would definitely not be as effective as if someone like the Six Paths Sage said them.

Obviously, there was a hint of fear in the eyes of everyone looking at him.

Yeah, who could have thought of that?

The always gentle Mr. Adam turned out to be such a terrifying existence.

Looking at Orochimaru again, he was already sweating profusely, and was glad that his thoughts only resulted in a small warning.

It was pure luck that he was not killed. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Orochimaru reaffirmed his faith.

Uchiha Sogetsu, invisibly, used Otsutsuki Hagoromo's mouth to criticize everyone.

Then, looking at the crowd who were keeping their secrets and showing a mixture of respect and fear, he knew that it was enough and excessive fear would only backfire.

Carrot and stick are the best ways to discipline people.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Munetsuki cast his gaze towards Orochimaru and White Fang, and said slowly: "I want to make a deal with you, are you willing?"

"willing!"

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Adam."

Although they didn't know what the deal was, since it was proposed by Adam himself, they both nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"very good."

Uchiha Munetsuki nodded slightly, and then said: "Although the Dusk Hermitage focuses on secrecy and rarely directly interferes with the direction of the times, your encounter with the Aurora Society this time made me realize that the trend of the times has changed, and it is time for me to follow the trend."

Everyone fell silent, waiting for the next words from the lord on the first seat.

Uchiha Munetsuki sat up slightly straighter. His tall figure and invisible pressure made everyone bow their heads. "From the five "paths" I know, you can each choose a magic potion from one of them to officially become an "Extraordinary". "

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 240 Congratulations to you two, you have achieved Sequence 9

What is a surprise? This is a surprise!

Orochimaru and White Fang were suddenly hit by a "pie" falling from the sky, and they were dizzy.

The 'magic potion' that they had always dreamed of was now suddenly obtained. The two even felt that it was too dreamy and could not recover for a while.

Onoki and Konan looked at them with envy in their eyes, wishing that person was themselves.

Mikoto still reacted calmly. She didn't care whether she could become a Beyonder 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, both of you."

"Well, when embarking on this journey, you must be careful and cautious."

Although Otsutsuki Hagoromo was somewhat envious, he was not jealous. He advised: "Although the path of God can allow people to ascend to heaven in one step, it is full of difficulties. Only by keeping your heart and not being disturbed by external temptations can you be safe."

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

Uchiha Sogetsu's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "In this case, if you feel it is inappropriate, you can refuse it."

reject?

Only a fool would refuse!

Orochimaru shook his head like a rattle, as if he was afraid that if he was a little slower, this good thing would fall into the hands of someone else: "No, no, no, Mr. Adam, I fully agree with your deal, and I think it is very reasonable."

"me too."

White Fang racked his brains and finally came up with this sentence.

Although everyone understands the truth, can you be a little more restrained?

Seeing how anxious 'Higanbana' was, everyone could guess what this guy was thinking. He was simply afraid of being robbed, and they immediately complained a few words in their hearts.

"Very good, in that case"

Uchiha Munetsuki, who was sitting at the top, had a light golden glow in his eyes: "Then make your choice."

As soon as the words fell, a pressure from a high position suddenly descended like a heavy mountain. The pure momentum that came from the gap in life levels was like an abyss that stopped people in their tracks, making the people sitting on both sides of the bronze table feel almost breathless.

"Hermit!"

"White Tower!"

"Perfect One!"

"Twilight Giant!"

"tyrant!"

Every time Uchiha Sogetsu uttered a honorable name, the overwhelming pressure from the starry sky would become heavier like overlapping raging waves.

Until the end, five cards engraved with different mysterious symbols and using simple lines to represent the honorific names suddenly appeared on the long bronze table. The void around them was affected, and under the power of the rules, it showed strange phenomena of distortion, collapse, lightning, and disintegration.

Everyone's eyes were deeply attracted and couldn't help themselves.

This was the first time they had seen the manifestation of the 'Way of God' in the true sense.

Looking at the five exquisite cards, Orochimaru and White Fang seemed a little embarrassed, just like beggars who suddenly became rich and didn't know how to spend the money. They cast their gazes at the chief 'Adam' in a daze, wanting to seek help from him.

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

Uchiha Sogetsu smiled slightly. No matter what, the path they chose had already been determined.

In front of the audience, the so-called "following your heart" is equivalent to letting them control you.

There's no other way, because his current 'Extraordinary Characteristics' are only this many.

Although the system has opened a low-sequence extraordinary material store, you need to pay an equal price to exchange it, and this price comes from the real "blasphemous slate" and the source material "chaos sea". The entire ninja world has undergone subtle changes under the influence.

For example, some organisms have extraordinary properties in their bodies.

It is not difficult to imagine that in the future ninja world, there will be more and more creatures with extraordinary characteristics, as well as people with special abilities who embark on an extraordinary path.

Whatever comes together must separate, and what separates must come together. Uchiha Sogetsu sighed softly in his heart, not knowing whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

While thinking, Orochimaru and White Fang, driven by a certain voice in their hearts, made their own choices.

"I choose the Twilight Giant."

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

"Yes, this path is suitable for you."

Uchiha Munetsuki nodded and said calmly, "The Dusk Giant Path is also known as the 'God of War' Path because of the corresponding True God. The Sequence 9 potion is: Warrior. The Beyonders of this Path have strength and agility beyond that of ordinary people, are proficient in all kinds of weapons and armor, and can master any fighting technique."

Ohnoki and the others immediately showed envious eyes, this path is simply perfect for 'ninjas'!

Moreover, just the name sounds super powerful, this is the path to becoming a God of War!

Although it is just a simple enhancement of physical fitness, ninjas are almost all "crispy chickens". The simpler the improvement, the better it is for the ninja.

Moreover, from Bai's several oral expressions, it can be basically confirmed that he is a ninja who is proficient in physical skills and assassination. Now with the enhancement of the "God of War" path, he will surely be even more terrifying!

"So, what's your choice?"

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

"I"

Orochimaru hesitated, his eyes flickering back and forth between 'The Perfect One' and 'The White Tower'.

These two cards were equally attractive to him, and the throbbing in his soul made it impossible for him to accurately determine which path to choose.

"Have you considered it?"

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

The White Tower tends to be more abstract "knowledge", understanding and exploring the essence of the world and delving into the rules.

The Perfectionists, on the other hand, are more inclined towards the "knowledge" of reality, focusing on restoring the original form of matter. They can create a variety of extraordinary props, and their core is to lead the development of civilization to achieve a leap.

Given Orochimaru's personality, both are very suitable for him.

The Church of Bones fell into a brief silence. Looking at the conflicted Orochimaru, Uchiha Sotsuki did not choose to urge him, but waited quietly.

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Mr. Adam, I choose 'White Tower'!"

"The White Tower symbolizes the pursuit, mastery and dissemination of knowledge."

Uchiha Munetsuki said slowly, "Also, the Beyonders of the White Tower Path are closely related to order and wisdom. The Sequence 9 potion is: Reader, which can improve memory and comprehension, and can use ritual magic. If you read a lot of books, you will have a rich reserve of knowledge."

Upon hearing this, everyone had different expressions, some agreed, while others were confused.

After all, judging from the description, the extraordinary people of the 'White Tower' path seem to be obviously not as attractive as those of the 'God of War' path.

Increase knowledge?

Improve memory?

What use is this thing to a ninja?

Ohnoki curled his lips. If it were him, he would definitely choose "Tyrant". It sounds so powerful!

"Thank you very much, Mr. Adam."
