Tower Space
Ryosuke walked to the black pillar and noticed two names already listed.
[Hatake Sakumo: First Floor]
[Orochimaru: First Floor]
"Did they only test the waters on the first floor?" Ryosuke muttered.
At that moment, Orochimaru's name, which was second on the pillar, suddenly moved to the top, pushing Hatake to second place.
[Orochimaru: Second Floor]
"Oh~! So Orochimaru is still inside the Tower?"
Ryosuke didn't rush in. Instead, he stood outside and observed.
Just then, others arrived at the Tower space.
"Sixth Hokage."
The newcomers were Hashirama, Madara, and the ever-present Tobirama.
"You guys are here."
Ryosuke nodded at them. The four of them stood at the entrance of the Tower, looking at the rankings on the black pillar.
[Orochimaru: Third Floor]
"Oh~! Looks like the first few floors aren't too difficult." Tobirama analyzed.
After another minute
[Orochimaru: Fourth Floor]
"It doesn't seem that hard." Madara nodded, then walked straight into the portal and disappeared.
"Eh? Why is Madara in such a hurry?" Hashirama muttered, following closely behind.
"Aren't you going?" Ryosuke asked Tobirama.
Tobirama shook his head and said, "I'll think about it."
More Hokages started arriving.
After checking the rankings on the black pillar, they impatiently entered the Tower to begin their challenges.
Ryosuke and Tobirama remained outside, watching the rankings.
Inside, Madara was quickly approaching Orochimaru, who had reached the 14th floor.
Now, Madara had passed the 13th floor and was climbing steadily.
However, after the 10th floor, progress had noticeably slowed.
While earlier floors took only about a minute to clear, now each one required at least five or six minutes or longer.
Soon, the first person to fail exited the Tower—Kakashi!
His initial Kage-level strength wasn't enough to go far.
[Kakashi: Twelfth Floor]
"You're out."
Ryosuke looked at Kakashi and asked, "How was it? What reward did you get?"
Kakashi smiled and said, "It was fun. The first ten floors were easy, but from the 11th floor, the opponents reached Kage-level. On the 12th floor, I faced another version of myself, and we were evenly matched. I barely won."
"But on the 13th floor, I faced Sasuke—Mangekyō Sharingan Sasuke. I couldn't win."
"As for rewards, the first ten floors only give points. First floor: 100 points. Second: 200, and so on. But from the 11th floor, extra rewards start coming in."
"On the 11th floor, I got an A-rank Lightning release ninjutsu."
"On the 12th floor, I got this!"
Kakashi's eyes suddenly turned into a one-tomoe Sharingan.
"Sharingan?" Tobirama narrowed his eyes.
Kakashi said, "Yeah, and I can use it freely. Unlike before, it doesn't strain me—it actually boosts my power."
As they talked, Danzō also exited. He had only reached the 14th floor before failing.
Next came Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sakumo. They both had managed to clear the 16th floor before failing.
Upon exiting, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the rankings and saw that even though he had reached the same floor as Sakumo, he was still ranked below him.
He frowned and asked, "Is this chat group targeting me?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not happy.
At that moment, Orochimaru was also forced out of the Tower.
He had successfully reached the 20th floor but lost on the 21st floor against the opponent—Third Raikage!
At full power, Third Raikage barely crossed into the Super Kage-level range.
Yet, it was enough.
Despite Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation techniques, Third Raikage smashed through his summons and obliterated him in less than 30 seconds.
"Good rewards?" Ryosuke asked Orochimaru.
Orochimaru nodded with a smirk.
Starting from the 11th floor, extra rewards were included.
Since Orochimaru had reached the 20th floor, his rewards were substantial.
The 20th-floor reward was a scientific research-based reward—perfect for his cloning experiments.
As for the earlier rewards, they only enhanced his techniques a bit—not too impressive.
But the points were excellent.
First floor: 100 points
Second floor: 200 points
Eleventh floor: 2000 points
Twelfth floor: 3000 points
Thirteenth floor: 4000 points
Twentieth floor: 7000+ points
By the 20th floor, Orochimaru had accumulated a total of 70,500 points.
As a newcomer in the chat group, earning over 70,000 points instantly was an incredible gain.
"Minato should be coming out soon." Orochimaru said quietly.
And he was right.
Moments later, Minato exited the Tower.
In the end, he was able to clear the 21st floor.
This might seem impossibke considering that the Third Raikage was at Super Kage level while Minato was now at quasi-super Kage-level.
But coupled with the Flying Thunder God Technique that is able to restrain the Third Raikage, it is possible for Minato to kill the Third Raikage.
But this situation does not always work out.
Minato's chances are good, but not 100%.
And this time, Minato's luck is obviously good.
He successfully killed the Third Raikage on the 21st floor!
As for the rewards on the 21st floor, the basic point reward was 20,000 points.
Therefore, Minato got 90,500 points for clearing the 21st Floor.
The harvest was very impressive!
And more importantly, the extra rewards on the 21st floor made Minato's strength go from quasi-super Kage-level to Super Kage kevel.
Now, the rating on his card has changed from quasi-super Kage-level to early super-Kage-level.
The improvement is nothing short of insignificant.
"Minato, you actually cleared the twenty-first floor!"
Sakumo looked at Minato who had exited the Tower in surprise.
The twenty-first floor, that means the enemy is at Super Kage level.
Unexpectedly, Minato, who is only quasi Super Kage level won.
"It's just a fluke." Minato said modestly.
"I'll try it too."
At this time, Tobirama, who had been watching, said, and then stepped into the entrance of the Tower.
"Tobirama-sensei has also gone in. With Tobirama-sensei's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to break through the 25th floor!" Danzō said.
"Danzo, are you looking down on Tobirama-sensei? I think Tobirama-sensei is fully capable of reaching the twenty-ninth floor!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen at the side glanced at Danzo lightly and said.
Danzō glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen with cold eyes, and then said nothing.
Originally, he had a good impression of Sarutobi Hiruzen, his teammate.
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen from his world had died too early, their friendship was very pure.
But since joining the chat group, Danzō has started to hate him in this short half a day.
At this time, Danzo was even a little thankful.
Thankful that Sarutobi Hiruzen from his own world had died early.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be the Hokage.
Moreover, he and Sarutobi Hiruzen from his own world might have turned against each other in the future.
The mutual feud between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not attract the attention of others.
After all, although Danzō has just joined this chat group, he has indeed had a lot of downs with Sarutobi Hiruzen, an old man who had joined half a month ago.
The two had quarreled violently before.
Now it's just a few simple sentences, but it's nothing special.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is in his prime at this age, is really in a bad state.
If it is the old version of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he will definitely not hate Danzō so directly, but will deliberately get closer to Danzō to seek benefits.
After all, Danzō, who had just joined the group, had a good impression of Sarutobi Hiruzen at first.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen himself missed this great opportunity.
He got one less ally who could advance and retreat together with him in the chat group.
More than half an hour later
Tobirama, who had just entered the Tower, also retreated from the Tower.
It had taken Tobirama less than six minutes to clear the first ten floors.
The next ten floors took about fifteen minutes.
And finally, Tobirama capped at the twenty-sixth floor.
With his strength, it is very difficult to break through the twenty-sixth floor.
After all, the enemies on the twenty-sixth floor are three opponents with super Kage-level late-stage strength.
Tobirama tried his best and finally died in the hands of these three enemies, but he lasted for at least two or three minutes, which is already very powerful.
And now, that leaves only Madara and Hashirama who are still in the tower.
But Madara is almost reaching his limit. He had progressed all the way to the thirtieth floor.
It took nearly 20 minutes to pass the 30th floor, and now he is on the 31st floor, and the enemy he faces is Sasuke, who is at the beginning of the Six Paths level.
To be more specific, it's Sasuke with a single Rinnegan.
The beginning of the Six Paths level is not Sasuke's limit.
After all, after Sage of Six Paths provided a boost, both Naruto and Sasuke had once reached the middle stage of Six Paths level.
As for how the two mid Six Paths defeated the peak Six Paths Kaguya?
Kaguya only has great attributes, but her actual combat ability is not as impressive.
Coupled with Naruto's Reverse Harem Technique, they made a comeback.
Thus, the two mid Six Paths-levels defeated Kaguya, who was at the peak of the Six Paths level.
"Madara is going to lose." Tobirama said with a laugh.
Although he didn't make it to the 31st floor, he knew that the enemies of the 31st floor were definitely at the Six Paths level.
And Madara can't even beat the quasi-Six Paths-level Hashirama.
Not to mention a true Six Paths level.
But... is that really the case?
The corners of Ryosuke's mouth twitched slightly, and he had already discovered something that others hadn't noticed yet.
Madara has reached the middle stage of the Six Paths level without anyone's knowledge.
In the card of the chat group, Madara's strength rating is now in the middle of the Six Paths level.
As for why there was such a change?
Ryosuke guessed that the awakening of Madara's Rinnegan had been accelerated as a reward.
At this moment, his Rinnegan should have awakened. So, his power should have increased dramatically.
'With Six Paths mid-level strength, breaking through the thirty-fifth floor should not be a problem.' Ryosuke thought.
As expected!
Just like Ryosuke had guessed, this time, it took less than seven minutes for Madara to clear the level on the 31st floor.
"How can this be?!"
The smile on Tobirama's face froze.
At this moment, someone discovered the change in Madara's strength, and then shared the news.
"Madara has squeezed out Hashirama-sama, and is now No. 2 on the combat power ranking list! His strength rating has also reached the middle of the Six Paths level!" Minato said in surprise.
