The Past Revisited
After taking Chakra Grass medicine these past few days, Chirori's strength had improved by leaps and bounds. In another day or two, she'd probably reach the peak of Kage Level.
Then Torifu would give her the other dose of Realm-Breaking Qi, and Konoha would have two people at Six Paths Level.
Even if those Otsutsuki came to Konoha, they wouldn't be a problem.
Strength gave them confidence.
"By the way, what's the deal with that Trial Tower? Everyone outside seems to be talking about it nonstop."
"It's spoils we took from the enemy. I heard there are rewards for clearing the stages. Want to give it a try?"
Chirori seemed intrigued. "Maybe in a bit. We should at least wait until there are fewer people."
Torifu nodded. He felt the same way as Chirori. Once the crowds thinned out, they'd challenge the tower and see what they could get.
Meanwhile, discussions about the Trial Tower in Konoha had reached a fever pitch!
"Whoa! This Trial Tower is insane! After I passed the initial trial, it gave me five hundred thousand ryo! I'm definitely going out for drinks tonight!"
"Whoa, lucky you! Your treat!"
"Your treat!"
"I got one free upgrade to a ninjutsu rank of my choice. I picked the B-rank technique I'm most proud of, and the tower upgraded it straight to A-rank! It even taught me all the Hand Seals and everything!"
"I got a boost to my strength!"
"I got to choose a set of weapons!"
"I got..."
All anyone in Konoha could talk about was what they'd gotten. The Trial Tower had made everyone forget last night's battle entirely.
It was hard to blame them. The rewards were just so exciting.
