Golden List Live: I Really Can't Hide Anymore!

Chapter 031: Nagato's Hope!

Akatsuki Base.

Nagato and the others awaited Uchiha Itachi to bring the Angel's Heart.

This treasure held immense value for the entire Akatsuki organization, but for Nagato, its significance was even greater.

"Nagato, the Angel's Heart might be able to heal your injuries!" Konan said excitedly.

"Let's hope so. My injuries were caused by forcibly using the Rinnegan. No matter how powerful the medical ninjutsu, it can't heal me. Even the Dew of Life that Uchiha Itachi acquired probably can't save me, but the Angel's Heart might!" Nagato was very eager for the arrival of the Angel's Heart.

Uchiha Itachi hadn't betrayed Akatsuki because of the Angel's Heart; he still intended to bring it back to the organization.

"I'll test the effects of the Angel's Heart!" Uchiha Itachi said.

"Alright!" Kisame Hoshigaki responded.

He was somewhat puzzled. Uchiha Itachi had acquired the Dew of Life and didn't use it, yet now he wanted to use the Angel's Heart.

Could it be that Itachi knew the Angel's Heart wouldn't ultimately belong to him, so he was willing to use it, but not the Dew of Life?

What kind of logic was that?

Unless Itachi planned to keep the Dew of Life for future use and not for himself?

"But this is fine too. The Angel's Heart might just be able to solve Itachi's physical issues," Kisame Hoshigaki said.

Buzz!

The six-sided, crystal-like Angel's Heart was grasped by Uchiha Itachi, who then activated it.

Instantly, countless white lights entered Itachi's body.

At that moment, Uchiha Itachi felt an unprecedented comfort in his body.

The numerous hidden injuries within his body quickly healed under the power of the Angel's Heart.

In the blink of an eye, Itachi felt excellent.

"How is it?" Kisame Hoshigaki asked.

"Very good. My hidden injuries have healed, and for a short period, using the Mangekyō Sharingan will have no negative impact on me. However, the Angel's Heart can't replenish life force. The life force I've lost due to repeatedly using the Mangekyō Sharingan cannot be restored by the Angel's Heart," Uchiha Itachi said.

"That's still quite good. The Dew of Life can replenish life force and extend lifespan. You should use it!" Kisame Hoshigaki reminded him.

"I know," Itachi replied calmly.

"Let White Zetsu take the Angel's Heart back," Kisame Hoshigaki suggested.

"Alright!" Uchiha Itachi agreed.

…

Akatsuki Base.

White Zetsu took the Angel's Heart, and then Uchiha Obito personally used his space-time ability to bring it back to the base as quickly as possible.

Afterward, the members of Akatsuki began discussing how to use the Angel's Heart.

"Whoever needs it can use the Angel's Heart!" Nagato proposed.

"I agree. After all, there's only one Angel's Heart, so it can't be divided. Naturally, whoever needs it can use it. If the energy of the Angel's Heart is exhausted, we'll need to sacrifice life force to replenish its life energy!" Kisame Hoshigaki said.

"Hehe, I don't really need something like the Angel's Heart. After all, I have an immortal body and can recover quickly," Hidan said.

Kakuzu also chimed in, "I don't really need it either."

"I agree, let's follow the leader's suggestion," Deidara said. "Actually, this kind of treasure suits me well. My explosive art sometimes injures me too. If I had the Angel's Heart, I wouldn't be afraid of dying and could even self-detonate whenever I want! If I have a big mission in the future, let me use this thing."

"Let's go with that!" Uchiha Obito agreed as well.

At this point, Konan said, "Nagato needs the Angel's Heart now."

"Nagato, I know you need the Angel's Heart. I agree," Uchiha Obito nodded.

After all, Nagato was a crucial part of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. Even though Nagato was wary of him and might not align with him in the future, he was still an important combat asset for now.

"Agreed!" Both White Zetsu and Black Zetsu nodded.

Everyone else also agreed, so the Angel's Heart was given to Nagato.

Meanwhile, the rewards from the livestream continued to be announced.

At this moment, the reward for the nineteenth place was announced.

And the nineteenth place reward was again Uchiha Itachi's weapon, so the reward naturally went to Uchiha Itachi.

In the livestream, a golden, glowing pill appeared.

[Golden Body Pill: Significantly enhances physical fitness!]

This reward was rather ordinary, but for Uchiha Itachi, it was quite a decent reward. Physical fitness was one of his weaknesses, and if he could enhance his physical fitness, he could last longer in battle.

As for combat power, the improvement wouldn't be significant.

After all, his main strength was in ninjutsu, and improving physical fitness wouldn't enhance his ninjutsu, so it wouldn't quickly boost his overall strength.

Next, the twentieth-place reward was announced, and this reward went to Uchiha Obito.

[Sacred Wood Staff: Can enhance the power of Wood Release]

[Hashirama Senju: This is quite good. It can enhance the power of Wood Release. It's a great thing for me, but not so useful for Uchiha Obito.]

[Yamato: I really want that Sacred Wood Staff!]

However, a few people knew that the Sacred Wood Staff was indeed helpful for Uchiha Obito because he had mastered Wood Release.

"Obito, this is a great item for you. You don't have many weapons, and this staff fills that gap!" Black Zetsu congratulated.

Obito took the Sacred Wood Staff and tested it with his Wood Release ability.

"It's a decent weapon, it can increase the power a bit, but its value isn't that high!" Uchiha Obito commented.

After all, his main strength came from the Sharingan, not Wood Release.

But, since his weapon was ranked twentieth, having such a reward was already quite good.

Next was the twenty-first-place weapon, which was Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword.

[Orochimaru: Hahaha, it's finally my turn. I hope I get a treasure that can heal my hands!]

[Tsunade: Orochimaru, you're only in twenty-first place. Don't expect to get a treasure that can heal your hands.]

[Third Tsuchikage: The treasures will only get more ordinary as we go further down. Don't get your hopes up!]

[Orochimaru: You never know, I might get lucky!]

Finally, Orochimaru's reward appeared in the livestream.

[Soul Strengthening Elixir: Can enhance soul strength, but is ineffective for those at the Six Paths level.]

[Orochimaru: It's a treasure that enhances soul strength!]

[Tsunade: As expected, it's not a treasure that can heal your hands!]

[Orochimaru: That's not certain. My hands were injured because my soul's hands were sealed. If I strengthen my soul, my hands might recover!]

Immediately, Orochimaru couldn't wait to claim the Soul Strengthening Elixir.
