In reality, there were an immense number of treasures in the Soul Reaper World.
Take the nobles of the Soul Society, for example. Each of their families had existed for thousands of years. Such a vast amount of time was more than enough for them to accumulate a hoard of treasures.
Although they didn't know what kind of rewards these items could be exchanged for within the Chat Group, they figured there was no reason not to take them. The Hokages scavenged everything they could get their hands on.
Tobirama, in particular, treated the entire Soul Society as one giant treasure trove. He took things that many others overlooked, all to be used for his research.
What interested him most was the Twelfth Division—the Department of Research and Development. The things there were perfectly suited to his tastes. They had developed all sorts of technical inventions, such as small potions that could turn the body into liquid or items that could restore the body in an extremely short amount of time.
These were exactly what Tobirama wanted! He placed all these items into scrolls, intending to bring them back to his own world for thorough research. According to his predictions, with so many high-quality materials, he could develop at least several new Ninjutsu—and they would be of the Forbidden Jutsu variety!
The other Hokages spent their time manually collecting Zanpakutō and treasures. Because they had already obtained so much, they overlooked the fact that there was a much simpler way to gather wealth.
At this moment, Aoki had already acquired a massive amount of loot. Yhwach and his subordinates contributed the vast accumulation of resources the Invisible Empire had gathered over the years. Whether it was Zanpakutō or various treasures, nothing was held back. Anything that caught Aoki's eye ended up in his hands!
On the other side, within the Gotei 13, Captain-Commander Yamamoto led the various captains and a large number of Shinigami. They spent every day busily traversing the Soul Society, gathering every good item they could find and handing them over to Aoki!
Aoki had not forgotten that besides the Shinigami themselves, there was a significant number of Zanpakutō in places like Rukongai. Before becoming Shinigami, many came from the outskirts of the Soul Society; therefore, many Zanpakutō and various Shinigami techniques could be scavenged from the periphery. Aoki collected all of these, ensuring his new subordinates' goodwill did not go to waste.
Seven days passed quickly. This trip was practically a carnival of treasure hunting for the Hokages. Everyone had gathered a great deal and reaped a bountiful harvest. Aside from Zanpakutō, there were many local treasures; everyone returned fully loaded.
Furthermore, they acquired abilities unique to the Soul Reaper World, such as demon arts and Hakuda. These cultivation techniques could be brought back and taught to their subordinates upon returning to their respective worlds.
Aoki's experience this time was different. Beyond these conventional gains, he had acquired something special. Within his Special Space, several beautiful figures had appeared!
Matsumoto Rangiku, Inoue Orihime, Kuchiki Rukia, Retsu Unohana, and Nel. He had collected all these beauties into his Special Space, leaving not a single one behind! Whether they were Shinigami, humans, or Hollows, none escaped Aoki's collection.
Of course, Aoki remained very low-key. He didn't let the Hokages know about this. Otherwise, his image in their eyes would likely collapse!
[Ding! The seven days are up!]
[You may now return to the Chat Group!]
[The Soul Reaper World has been acquired. Once everyone returns to the Chat Group, this world will be frozen!]
[It will be unfrozen upon the next visit!]
As everyone was talking, the Chat Group notification sounded in their minds. They understood that, just like with the Pirate World, the Soul Reaper World would be completely frozen once they left. Everyone was very satisfied with this function.
Of course, the most important thing now was to return to the Chat Group. Everyone was impatient to find out what rewards they would receive after this mission. A few of them, believing their collected treasures were exceptionally rich, felt they had a strong chance of ranking in the top three and were therefore even more anxious.
Seeing this, Aoki didn't waste any time. He spoke to the Chat Group: "Let's return!"
As his voice fell, a familiar seven-colored Light Screen instantly appeared before everyone and enveloped them. The moment they left, the entire Soul Reaper World was frozen by a mysterious power, plunging the entire world into a state of stasis.
Meanwhile, in the Summit Space, a seven-colored spatial portal manifested, and Aoki and the others stepped out!
Twelve Hokages returned, every single one of them unscathed. Upon seeing the familiar space before them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally back!" they exclaimed excitedly.
The Soul Reaper World was certainly fresh and interesting, but this familiar Summit Space felt much more intimate. Even Naruto, who had just joined the Summit Space, felt the same way.
Everyone returned to their seats. Several dignified Hokages unceremoniously slumped into their chairs. Tobirama, in particular, was exhausted! There were so many benefits to be gathered in the Soul Reaper World that he wanted to take everything, which required him to expend a massive amount of Chakra to perform Sealing Jutsu. This left Tobirama feeling more worn out than if he had fought a full-scale battle.
The other Hokages felt some fatigue as well, but they were all excitedly exchanging their experiences. It had been another completely new world.
Naruto looked at them with great envy. This was his first time entering another world, while the other Hokages were already on their second! He truly envied their rich experience and wished he had joined sooner.
At that moment, Aoki spoke. "Everyone, please quiet down."
"The part we've been anticipating the most is about to begin: the summary and rewards!"
Hearing Aoki's words, the Hokages were thrilled. They immediately shut their mouths and waited for the Chat Group to issue the notification for the summary and tally.
Once everyone fell silent, the Chat Group's notification finally sounded.
[Congratulations to all!]
[The Multiverse Mission has been a complete success!]
[The mission completion status is as follows...]
