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

Chapter 005: A Series of Powerful Taijutsu Techniques! 

At the same time, intelligence organizations from all the major ninja villages began investigating the mysterious Ye Tian, while the Akatsuki organization was also searching for him, attempting to recruit him. However, this so-called Ye Tian seemed almost nonexistent, and they had no idea where to start looking. This was because, in the footage from the Golden List livestream room, Ye Tian was also wearing a mask, making it impossible for them to identify him.

[Kakashi]: I suspect that Ye Tian might have other Taijutsu techniques ranked in the top four of the list.

[Might Guy]: Very likely!

[Third Hokage]: Could this Ye Tian be the mysterious person who fought against Guy in the future?

[Might Guy]: Third Lord, that’s unlikely. The Taijutsu of that mysterious person seemed quite average; it’s unlikely to be him. If it were him, my kick wouldn’t have hurt him at all.

[Madara Uchiha]: Average Taijutsu? It was clearly very strong, wasn’t it?

[Hashirama Senju]: Ah, Madara, something’s not right with you. You rarely compliment people; why are you praising that mysterious person? Could it be that you know him?

Madara Uchiha dared not say more, fearing that he might slip up. Fortunately, his future appearance had changed significantly; even someone as familiar with him as Hashirama Senju would not be able to recognize him.

Soon, the Golden List livestream revealed the fourth-ranked Taijutsu technique.

[Golden List Taijutsu Ranking, Fourth Place: True Dragon Fist, User: Ye Tian]

[Might Guy]: As expected, the fourth place is also Ye Tian’s Taijutsu. True Dragon Fist seems to be a fist-based Taijutsu, and it’s even more terrifying than the Indestructible Vajra Body!

[Mei Terumi]: This Ye Tian is too mysterious. He already possesses two of the top five Taijutsu techniques, the Indestructible Vajra Body and True Dragon Fist. His true strength must be incredibly powerful.

[Danzo]: I think this guy named Ye Tian must be very insidious, probably similar to Orochimaru.

[Orochimaru]: Danzo, when it comes to being insidious, I might not even match up to you!

[Danzo]: Traitor, shut up!

[Hashirama Senju]: Hey, you’re all quite bold. Ye Tian must be in this Golden List livestream room, just not speaking. He can see your comments. If you badmouth him, he might hold a grudge. Only us dead folks in the Pure Land don’t have to worry about this.

[Danzo]: I just misspoke earlier. I hope Ye Tian doesn’t mind.

[Third Hokage]: Danzo, when did you become so timid?

[Fourth Kazekage]: Knowing when to yield is wise, Danzo. You’re a man who accomplishes great things!

Danzo twitched at the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t afford not to be cautious. That person might be stronger than the First Hokage and was hidden in the shadows. If he came to assassinate him, Danzo would surely die. Apologizing was just a loss of face; it was better than losing his life!

Soon, the livestream room’s screen appeared. A massive red snake encountered a young man in white.

[Naruto]: Wow, that’s a huge snake!

[Tsunade]: That must be a snake from Ryūchi Cave.

[White Snake Sage]: That’s indeed a snake from Ryūchi Cave. Its name is Garaga, and it has a very bad temper. Once, it left the cave and never returned. It seems it was killed by this Ye Tian!

[Orochimaru]: White Snake Sage, greetings!

[White Snake Sage]: Oh, it’s Orochimaru. Long time no see!

[Great Toad Sage]: White Snake Sage, you’re still alive?

[White Snake Sage]: Old toad, if you’re not dead, how could I be? Moreover, I have dragon blood in me, giving me a long lifespan. You, on the other hand, probably need to sleep often to maintain your life!

[Might Guy]: Can someone explain who these two sages are?

[Hashirama Senju]: The Great Toad Sage is from Mount Myōboku, and the White Snake Sage is from Ryūchi Cave. Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest are the three great sacred places in the ninja world, located in special regions that ordinary people cannot enter. Even I don’t know the full extent of the three sages’ strength.

[Madara Uchiha]: Just a bunch of hiding cowards!

[Hashirama Senju]: It’s one thing to disrespect the other two sages, but how dare you disrespect the Great Toad Sage? If I master the Thousand Years of Death technique, I’ll use it against you!

[Tobirama Senju]: Brother, you’re already dead. Who are you going to fight?

Suddenly, everyone’s attention was drawn back to the livestream screen. They saw a golden true dragon emerging from Ye Tian’s body. As Ye Tian was about to throw a punch, a golden dragon appeared behind him, instantly making Garaga bow its head in submission and crawl to the ground, surrendering to Ye Tian.

[Hashirama Senju]: This snake is too spineless! Ye Tian only threw half a punch, didn’t even fully strike, and it already chickened out!

[White Snake Sage]: Garaga has a violent temper. If it submitted to Ye Tian, it was clearly influenced by the True Dragon Fist. This fist technique might be the nemesis of our Ryūchi Cave!

The White Snake Sage’s tone seemed to convey concern, but in reality, it was full of excitement.

“True Dragon Fist. If I obtain this Taijutsu, it might awaken the dragon bloodline within me, allowing me to evolve from a dragon-snake into a true dragon,” the White Snake Sage said excitedly.

In truth, she was not a snake of the ninja world but came from the outside world and accidentally arrived in the ninja world, where she established Ryūchi Cave. Almost all the snakes in Ryūchi Cave could be considered her offspring, but the other snakes only contained a sparse dragon bloodline, limiting their strength growth, while she was the only dragon-snake in Ryūchi Cave.

She named Ryūchi Cave with the hope that one day, all the snakes in the cave would transform into true dragons. Unfortunately, enhancing the bloodline was too difficult; even after cultivating for a thousand years, she had not succeeded. However, the True Dragon Fist gave her hope. Although the opponent was very strong, she was not without a chance to obtain the True Dragon Fist.

Next, the third-ranked Taijutsu was announced.

[Golden List Taijutsu Ranking, Third Place: Kaio-ken, User: Ye Tian]

[Hashirama Senju]: As expected, the third place is also Ye Tian’s. Where did he get so many terrifying Taijutsu techniques?

[Third Hokage]: If this person is hostile to the ninja world, it would be a disaster!

[Fourth Raikage]: Perhaps this person is just a reclusive master who doesn’t involve himself in the ninja world’s conflicts!

Immediately, the Golden List livestream played Ye Tian’s Kaio-ken. In the middle of the ocean, Ye Tian stood on the water and unleashed the Kaio-ken towards a distant area of the sea, creating a vacuum that made the seawater flow backward.

“What a terrifying punch!”

Many people gasped in shock.

[Madara Uchiha]: It’s not that impressive. If I summon a meteor, it could cause even more destruction.

[Hashirama Senju]: Madara, this is Taijutsu, not ninjutsu. Taijutsu’s destructive range is inherently limited. To achieve such a level of destruction with Taijutsu, if it hits you or me, we would surely die.

[Madara Uchiha]: Just don’t get hit. I have the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which is specialized in countering Taijutsu.

[Hashirama Senju]: Ha, but didn’t you still lose to me back then? I think Ye Tian is stronger than you!

After a while, the second-ranked Taijutsu was finally announced.
