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

"You know my technique. As long as my chakra doesn't run out, I'm almost impossible to kill. Don't worry and stab me; I just want to test the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's abilities," Tsunade urged.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade!" Shizune nodded. She quickly drew a kunai and stabbed it toward Tsunade's arm at lightning speed. But as soon as the kunai touched Tsunade's skin, it was deflected by the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's power.

Shizune attempted several more attacks, but all were deflected by the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's abilities.

"Lady Tsunade, the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's power is amazing!" Shizune exclaimed in awe.

"It's not bad, but it won't protect against energy attacks or things like explosive tags. It only deflects physical attacks like punches and weapons. Also, when I activate the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's power, my speed increases dramatically. On flat ground, I can move so fast it's almost like teleportation. But I need to train to master it; I can't rush this," Tsunade explained.

"Lady Tsunade, you're really lucky this time. If the Slug Sage didn't want the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, you wouldn't have gotten it!" Shizune remarked.

"That's why we should thank the Slug Sage!" Tsunade said.

Tsunade's acquisition of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit naturally made many women envious. Some women who were already beautiful were not too jealous, but those who weren't as attractive were extremely envious.

"The Smooth-Smooth Fruit, Tsunade is really lucky!" someone remarked.

However, among the Fox Spirit tribe, women like Kurenai and the others were not envious. As Fox Spirits, their natural grace was unmatched by the Smooth-Smooth Fruit. The fruit could change appearance but couldn't alter one's inherent grace, so they weren't jealous.

Soon, the reward for the twelfth place on the pet ranking list was announced. This reward belonged to the White Snake Sage. At that moment, the White Snake Sage was intensely focused on the livestream, eagerly anticipating her reward.

"It has to be something good!" the White Snake Sage hoped.

Suddenly, the reward for the thirteenth place on the pet ranking list appeared in the livestream. It was a blood-red thread, with a faint image of a Soaring Snake.

Seeing this reward, the White Snake Sage was disappointed, as it clearly wasn't related to the dragon race. But then the information about the reward was revealed.

[Soaring Snake Bloodline: A divine beast bloodline almost equal to that of dragons. Choosing this reward will grant you the Soaring Snake Bloodline, perfectly fused with your body.]

[Manda: The Soaring Snake, a creature equal to the dragon race, seems pretty good!]

[Great Toad Sage: Hahaha, Old White Snake, you've always dreamed of becoming a dragon, but now you've got the Soaring Snake Bloodline. To be honest, it's pretty good, not much different from the dragon race. But if you accept it, you'll have to follow the path of the Soaring Snake. Maybe you should rename Ryūchi Cave to Soaring Snake Cave.]

[Garaga: Soaring Snake Bloodline, huh? Not bad, but it's just a bloodline, not the actual Soaring Snake. Old White Snake, if you don't want it, you can give it to me.]

[White Snake Sage: @Garaga, shut up!]

The White Snake Sage hesitated, unsure whether to accept the Soaring Snake Bloodline. If she accepted the reward, it would replace her existing bloodline, and she would have to follow the path of the Soaring Snake, abandoning her goal of becoming a dragon.

"But if I give up the Soaring Snake Bloodline, I won't get any reward, and my strength won't increase. Meanwhile, Garaga's strength keeps growing, and he has so many powerful summoning beasts. I can't afford to fall behind!" the White Snake Sage thought.

Unlike the Slug Sage, who was laid-back and didn't care about power, the White Snake Sage was ambitious and couldn't pass up this opportunity. Who knows what the future rankings will hold? She might not make it on the list again.

"The path of the Soaring Snake it is. Maybe in the future, with some great fortune, I can still pursue the path of a true dragon," the White Snake Sage decided. She extracted the Soaring Snake Bloodline from the livestream.

Suddenly, a blood-red thread shot out from the ranking, crossing space and entering her body. The next moment, the White Snake Sage felt a surge of powerful bloodline energy, devouring her original White Snake Bloodline and the weak dragon bloodline she had. Her physique grew stronger, and she felt wings forming on her back—Soaring Snake wings. However, they didn't fully develop.

Soon, the bloodline transformation was complete.

"My power has increased significantly!" the White Snake Sage murmured.

In the livestream:

[Garaga: Hahaha, it seems the old hag has accepted the Soaring Snake Bloodline. Should we start calling you the Soaring Snake Sage now?]

[White Snake Sage: Garaga, even if you become a dragon, I won't fear you. Plus, I'm more skilled in various sage techniques, not just brute strength!]

[Garaga: Haha, old hag, you think I'm the same as before? How shameless!] 

[White Snake Sage: You...]

[Orochimaru: Congratulations, White Snake Sage, on your significant increase in power. In my opinion, as long as one gains strength, the methods don't matter, and there's no need to care about anything else.]

[White Snake Sage: Orochimaru, you make a good point. Whether it's the Soaring Snake bloodline or the True Dragon bloodline, they are just channels to enhance strength. As long as power increases, nothing else really matters.]

After the White Snake Sage received her reward, it was time for the Great Toad Sage to receive his.

Soon, the reward for the 13th place on the Pet Ranking was announced.

The livestream screen revealed an eye filled with a sacred Buddhist light.

[Foreseeing Buddha Eye: An eye with the ability to foresee the future. It can be used once a year without harming the user, but it will consume the eye's power each time.]

[Great Toad Sage: A Buddha Eye that can predict the future, fitting well with my abilities. A fine reward.]

[White Snake Sage: An eye that doesn't enhance strength? What's the point, heh!]

[Great Toad Sage: White Snake Sage, you don't understand. Power isn't everything; grasping the future is what truly matters.]

[Gamabunta: Congratulations, Great Toad Sage, on obtaining the Foreseeing Buddha Eye!]

[Fukasaku Sage: Congratulations, Great Elder, on obtaining the Foreseeing Buddha Eye!]

[Shima Sage: Congratulations, Great Elder, on obtaining the Foreseeing Buddha Eye!]

The frogs of Mount Myoboku all congratulated the Great Toad Sage, flooding the livestream with their messages.

Perhaps the White Snake Sage didn't value the Foreseeing Buddha Eye, but the Great Toad Sage certainly did.

"Master, will the Great Toad Sage foresee you now that he has obtained the Foreseeing Buddha Eye?" Honghong asked.

"No!" Ye Tian confidently replied, "No matter what treasure the Great Toad Sage obtains, he won't be able to foresee me."

Ye Tian was confident because he possessed a deducing system, which prevented anyone from peering into his future. Anyone who tried would only bring trouble upon themselves.

At Mount Myoboku.

The Great Toad Sage extracted the Foreseeing Buddha Eye from the livestream, and the golden, glowing Buddha Eye landed in his palm.

Immediately, the Great Toad Sage placed the Foreseeing Buddha Eye into his left eye.

Soon, the Foreseeing Buddha Eye perfectly fused with his left eye.

"Shall I test the ability of the Foreseeing Buddha Eye?" the Great Toad Sage thought.

He instinctively considered foreseeing Ye Tian, but recalling the last time he predicted Ye Tian's future, he abandoned the idea.

Ye Tian had a great secret, likely possessing something that could block the Foreseeing Buddha Eye's prediction, so it wasn't worth wasting this opportunity.

"I'll use it on Fukasaku."

Since Fukasaku was closest to him, it made sense to use it on him.

As for himself, he'd probably spend his entire life at Mount Myoboku. Peering into his own future was pointless, and such predictions were often inaccurate.

"Foreseeing Buddha Eye, activate!"

In an instant, the Buddha light from the Foreseeing Buddha Eye illuminated Fukasaku Sage.

Soon, images of the future appeared in the Great Toad Sage's vision.

One of the images showed Fukasaku Sage being impaled by a black rod, dying on the spot.

Seeing this, the Great Toad Sage spoke, "Fukasaku, I have something to tell you."

"Please go ahead, Great Elder," Fukasaku Sage listened attentively.

"In the future, you will die!" the Great Toad Sage declared.

"Oh, I know that!" Fukasaku Sage nodded slightly.

Everyone dies when their time comes, naturally!

Countless frogs had died at Mount Myoboku. For instance, none of the frogs from the Great Toad Sage's era were still alive, except for the Great Toad Sage himself, who had an exceptionally long lifespan. Normally, frogs only lived for a few decades.

As a Sage Toad, his lifespan was longer, perhaps two to three hundred years or more, but not exceeding a thousand.

So, knowing he would die wasn't surprising.

The Great Toad Sage noticed Fukasaku's misunderstanding and clarified, "I mean, you will be killed in the near future!"

"Old fool, you can't say such things!" Shima Sage was furious.

The Great Toad Sage often muddled things up, and now he was saying her husband would die?

How could she not be angry?

Others respected the Great Toad Sage, and while she usually did too, she had to scold him when necessary.

"Shima, I'm not speaking nonsense. This time, I'm not confused. I just obtained the Foreseeing Buddha Eye and used it to foresee Fukasaku's future. I saw an image of him being pierced by a black rod, dying on the spot!" the Great Toad Sage explained.

"I don't believe you. Look into it more carefully," Shima Sage insisted.

"The Foreseeing Buddha Eye can only be used once a year!" the Great Toad Sage responded.

"Great Toad Sage, my husband will really be killed by a human, and it will happen soon?" Shima Sage frowned.

"Yes," the Great Toad Sage nodded.

"The future can be changed; there's no need to worry!" Fukasaku Sage said.

The Great Toad Sage nodded again, "Indeed, the future can be changed. For example, if Fukasaku doesn't leave Mount Myoboku, nothing will happen. The future I saw was likely on a battlefield, but the Foreseeing Buddha Eye can only precisely foresee a specific moment, not more details. Of course, maybe it's because I just obtained it and don't fully understand its abilities. With more research, I might be able to predict the future more accurately."

"Thank you for the warning, Great Toad Sage. I'll be careful!" Fukasaku Sage replied.

At that moment, the Great Toad Sage added, "The one who kills you is peculiar, possessing the Rinnegan, but with black rods inserted into their face."

"Rinnegan?"

Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage took note.

If they encountered such a person in the future, they would flee immediately to avoid danger.

Soon, the reward for the 14th place on the Pet Ranking was announced.

This time, the reward went to the Nine-Tails!

At this moment, the Nine-Tails spoke in the livestream.

[Nine-Tails: Hahaha, it's finally my turn to receive a reward!]
