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

Chapter 040: Rankings of the Nine Tailed Beasts!

[Fourth Raikage]: Seven Tails is one of the nine tailed beasts, and these creatures are considered among the most fearsome in the ninja world. But it's ranked only 24th on the pet ranking list? Isn't that a bit exaggerated?

[Third Hokage]: It's indeed strange. Given that it's a tailed beast, it should logically rank much higher. I didn't expect Seven Tails to only rank 24th!

[Hashirama Senju]: Although the strength of these tailed beasts is average, it's indeed bizarre that Seven Tails ranks 24th. I can't think of many summon beasts that could surpass a tailed beast in strength.

[Madara Uchiha]: Maybe the three great sacred places still have some terrifying summon beasts hidden?

[Hidan]: What's the point of all this guessing? We'll know soon enough!

...

Mount Myoboku.

Great Toad Sage: "It seems like Mount Myoboku Toad's rank will be above most of the tailed beasts. Garaga from Ryuchi Cave should also be above most of them. Besides us three great sages, there don't seem to be any other powerful summon beasts."

The Great Toad Sage was also puzzled but could only continue waiting as he couldn't predict any other powerful summon beasts.

At this time.

White Snake Sage furrowed her brow. "It looks like I, the Great Toad, and that slug will all make it onto the ranking list. This is good; at least we'll get incredible rewards."

But she still couldn't figure out what other summon beasts could surpass the nine tailed beasts.

Garaga is likely dead, and it's unclear if he will be included.

If he is, Garaga should also make it onto the ranking list, and his rank shouldn't be low.

"Garaga is a hot-tempered fellow, even more so than Manda. Getting rewards from him probably won't work," said the White Snake Sage.

However, she could at least claim the rewards from the three goddesses. The three of them would listen to her and had now formed a contract with her, so they would be somewhat bound by it.

Moreover, they wouldn't dare disobey her orders, as their strength was lacking.

"Still, it's worth a try. If Garaga makes it onto the list, I'll ask him about it," thought the White Snake Sage.

At this point, the 23rd place on the pet ranking list was announced.

[Pet Ranking 23rd Place: Three-Tails Isobu, Former Owner: Yagura]

[Three-Tails]: What? I'm ranked 23rd, just one place above Chomei?

[One-Tail]: Isobu, it seems your strength is second to last among us nine!

[Three-Tails]: I refuse to accept this ranking; it's wrong!

[Seven-Tails]: Haha, Isobu, at least you're one place higher than me. That's something. I'm just frustrated!

[Nine-Tails]: You all can fight over the other rankings; I'll just take first place!

Next, the 22nd place was announced.

[Pet Ranking 22nd Place: Two-Tails Matatabi, Former Owner: Yugito Nii]

Yugito Nii was once the jinchuriki of Matatabi, but with the tailed beast extracted, Yugito Nii died and could only be considered a former master.

If Matatabi wanted to, she could naturally give the reward to Yugito Nii. But this would be Matatabi's choice, and Yugito Nii wouldn't force it, especially since she's already dead and wouldn't care about the reward. Even if she received the reward, it would be given to the Hidden Cloud Village.

At this time.

Matatabi wasn't upset at all. After all, with Chomei and Isobu ranked lower, she was third from the bottom, which wasn't too bad!

Next, the 21st place on the pet ranking list was announced.

[Pet Ranking 21st Place: Four-Tails Sun Wukong, Former Owner: Roshi]

Like One-Tail, Two-Tails, and Five-Tails, Four-Tails' jinchuriki was dead, with the tailed beast extracted by the Akatsuki. Thus, Roshi could only be considered a former master.

[Four-Tails]: This rank is acceptable, at least better than Chomei, Isobu, and Matatabi!

[Seven-Tails]: I have nothing to say!

[One-Tail]: It seems all nine tailed beasts will have similar rankings, all in the same range!

[Eight-Tails]: You can almost figure out your rank now. I'm second, One-Tail is third. You guys can figure out the rest.

Soon, the 19th place on the pet ranking list was announced.

As the ranking process continued, the speed at which the rankings were revealed started to slow down.

[Pet Ranking 19th Place: Five-Tails Kokuo, Former Owner: Han]

Both Four-Tails' and Five-Tails' jinchurikis were from the Hidden Stone Village in the Land of Earth. Unfortunately, the Hidden Stone was unlucky, and since they weren't prepared, both of their jinchurikis were taken down by the Akatsuki.

[Third Tsuchikage]: What a pity. If only our village still had both jinchurikis. Damn the Akatsuki; I'll make sure to destroy you in the future!

[Fourth Kazekage]: The Akatsuki is a plague!

[Nagato]: You kill me, I kill you. Isn't that how the ninja world works? How many wars have you five great ninja villages started? How many people have died at your hands? And now you think you have the right to criticize me!

[Jiraiya]: Nagato, you've changed!

[Nagato]: Jiraiya-sensei, it's not me who's changed; it's the ninja world that needs to change!

[Mei Terumi]: There's no need to argue anymore. Words won't change anything. The Akatsuki won't stop because of a few words!

At this time, the 18th place on the pet ranking list was announced.

[Pet Ranking 18th Place: Six-Tails Saiken, Owner: Utakata]

[Pet Ranking 17th Place: One-Tail Shukaku, Former Owner: Gaara]

[One-Tail]: As expected, I'm ranked third among the nine tailed beasts, right after Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails.

[Gaara]: Shukaku, congratulations!

[Eight-Tails]: Looks like it's my turn next. Even though I'm only ranked 17th, at least I'm better than you all!

Sure enough.

[Pet Ranking 16th Place: Eight-Tails Gyuki, Owner: Killer Bee]

[Killer Bee]: Oh yeah! My Eight-Tails is ranked 16th. Not bad at all! We should get a pretty good reward this time.

[Fourth Raikage]: Killer Bee, after you get the reward, focus on your training. Don't go wandering around. The Akatsuki is likely to target you now.

[Nagato]: No matter where you hide, it won't matter. If the Akatsuki wants a tailed beast, no one can escape—not even Nine-Tails!

[Jiraiya]: Nagato, would you really harm Naruto? He's like a brother to you.

[Nagato]: Yes, even if Jiraiya-sensei tries to stop me, I won't hesitate. I will show no mercy!

[Jiraiya]: Nagato, it seems we will meet on the battlefield someday.

[Nagato]: Jiraiya-sensei, I hope that day never comes, but if it does, I won't hold back.

[Tsunade]: Jiraiya, your disciple has become too arrogant!

After a while, the 15th place on the pet ranking list was announced.

But this time, it wasn't Nine-Tails!
