On the left was a fruit with an ancient, muted sheen.
On the right was an ordinary-looking card.
[Soul Fruit: Specifically strengthens the soul. Its effect on those at the Six Paths level is negligible, but for anyone below that level, it is a divine treasure.] [Question Card: Effects unknown. It all depends on luck.]
Everyone present knew about the card's downside.
It was a trap among traps.
[Hashirama Senju: Whoa! Another Question Card!] [Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, take my advice and pick it. I think you'll get the answer right.] [Hashirama Senju: Heh. Madara, I can hear your scheme from all the way over here. You're hoping I get it wrong so you can laugh at me, aren't you?] [Uchiha Madara: Imagine whatever you like. I've got nothing to lose.] [Tobirama Senju: Brother, don't pick it! It's a bottomless pit. You're less likely to answer correctly than to win the lottery.] [Fourth Raikage: It's definitely a trap. The questions often involve an uncertain future. Who'd gamble their life on that?] [Third Hokage: I'd take the Soul Fruit to be safe. A sure gain is better than a gamble.]
Everyone around him urged him to reconsider.
They all wanted him to pass up the uncertain Question Card and take the guaranteed Soul Fruit.
But Hashirama Senju just stared at the card.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
His fingers slowly reached toward what everyone else considered a trap.
A message from Hashirama Senju popped up in the group chat.
He had actually chosen the Question Card.
[Uchiha Madara: Nicely done. That's a gamble worth taking.] [Tobirama Senju: Brother, you're wasting your chance!]
Everyone stared at the screen and waited, but he still didn't use it.
``` [Uchiha Madara: Stop stalling. Use it already.]
