Chapter 149 : Ninja Village List!

"Honghong, how's your progress with acquiring the bloodline of the Nine-Yuan Blood Fox?" Yasao inquired, eyeing Honghong intently.

"Master, I've obtained the bloodline of the Nine-Yuan Blood Fox, but I'm still at the cusp of breaking through to the Immortal Dao level. I reckon I'm at a half-step Immortal Dao level now. With a bit more time, I'm confident I'll ascend to the Immortal Dao level," declared Honghong, her fists clenched with determination.

"I have full faith in you," Yasao responded with a reassuring smile.

While the rewards from the Six Paths list this time only elevated Kumoko to the Immortal Dao rank, the rest were on the verge of reaching that level too.

Following this, Yasao laid out the next phase of their training, aiming to expedite their entry into the Immortal Dao realm. Despite their formidable strength in the ninja world, it paled in comparison to what they might encounter in other worlds.

As time trickled by, the situation of the Ninja world underwent transformations. Uchiha Madara assumed leadership of Akatsuki, while Uchiha Itachi departed from the organization, leaving the others under Madara's command.

Before anyone realized, a year had slipped away. It was time for the announcement of the new list.

Upon the release of the updated list, attention was primarily drawn to the Six Paths list and the Immortal Dao List, with little regard for the Kage-level list.

[Might Guy: Haha, yes, I got listed in Six Paths list, and above Uchiha Madara." 

[Senju Hashirama: Uchiha Madara hasn't regained his Rinnegan yet. If he does, his strength will surely surpass this." 

[Fourth Raikage: Even I made it into the Six Paths list. This should fetch a good reward!" 

Suddenly, among the newcomers in the Six Paths list, the rewards were granted, all kept in the backend warehouse.

Of course, the specifics of their rewards are known only to them, yet to be announced.

But everyone is content, knowing it will enhance their strength.

When the Immortal Dao List refreshed, everyone was taken aback.

At that moment, two names graced the Immortal Dao Ranking.

One was Yasao, and the other was Kumoko.

[Second place on the Immortal Dao list: Kumoko]

In the Golden List live room.

[Garaga: Sister Kumoko is incredible, actually making it into the Immortal Dao List!" 

[Fox Demon Honghong: Congratulations to Kumoko!] 

[Beerus: Congrats to Kumoko!] 

[Fox Demon Yaya: Congratulations to Kumoko!] 

[Fox Demon Rongrong: Congratulations to Kumoko!] 

[Tsunade: She's the second person to enter the Immortal Dao list, and those on the Immortal Dao list should increase as time goes on)!

[Senju Hashirama: I envy those who make it to the Immortal Dao List!] 

[Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: The next person to enter the Immortal Dao list must be me!] 

[Fox Demon Honghong: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, give it up. Your rank keeps plummeting. You still aspire to be the third to enter the Six Paths list? Dream on!) 

Before long, the new list was announced.

At that moment, a notification appeared in the live broadcast room.

[This new list is the Ninja Village List!] 

[Tsunade: It's the list of ninja villages. Konoha is undoubtedly the top ninja village!] 

[Fourth Raikage: The Hidden Cloud Village list. This time, Yasao and the others probably won't make it to the list)! 

[Third Tsuchikage: There are plenty of rewards. I'm not concerned about it this time!]

[Terumi Mei: Anyway, our five ninja villages must be the top five.]

[Kakashi: The reward for the Ninja Village list should be directly given to the village.]

[Killer Bee: Certainly to the village, but how to allocate it, that's up to the Kage.]

[Tsunade: I will definitely distribute it according to the most perfect distribution!]

"It's the Ninja Village List!"

Upon seeing this list, Yasao shook his head slightly.

Indeed, he couldn't make it onto the list this time because he didn't establish a village. Though he had trained numerous ninjas, they were all honed individually, disconnected from any specific village.

But it didn't matter; it was just a list, after all.

"Then let's train. After a year of practice and the passage of many years in the time domain, my strength has improved significantly again. This kind of training is no less rewarding than what's on offer!" Yasao muttered.

Soon after, the Ninja Village List began to be announced.

Ninjas from various villages started appearing in the live broadcast room.

[No. 16 on the Ninja Village List: Bamboo Village]

[Uchiha Sasuke: Bamboo Village, this village is truly obscure and weak.]

[Uzumaki Naruto: Bamboo Village may be weak, but it still qualifies as a ninja village, barely.]

[Tsunade: Judging by the rankings, there are only 16 villages that barely meet the criteria of being called ninja villages!]

The announcements continued.

…Meanwhile…

A group of ninja from a ninja village appeared on the screen.

[No. 17 on the Ninja Village List: Sound Ninja Village]

[Tsunade: Sound Ninja Village, isn't that the village founded by Orochimaru?]

[Fourth Raikage: Indeed, it was Orochimaru's village, but it has greatly declined since then, with only a handful of ninjas remaining.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: After my departure, some ninjas returned to Sound Ninja Village, regrouped, and established a village. It's very weak, but still counts as a ninja village, thus making it onto the list!]

[Gaara: Sound Ninja Village has had some luck this time. With the reward, their strength can certainly see a significant improvement!]

Soon after, the announcement of the sixteenth position on the Shinobi Village list was made.

A cluster of ninjas materialized on the screen, accompanied by the following prompt.

[The 16th Position on the Ninja Village List: Shangri-la]

[Tsunade: Shangri-la claims the sixteenth spot on the Ninja Village List. Undoubtedly, the village's prowess is notably inferior."]

[Terumi Mei: It's only fitting for this rogue ninja settlement to occupy the sixteenth rank.]

[Fourth Raikage: Let's speed up with the ranking of the Ninja Villages; I'm eager to see the top five!]

[Tsunade: Fourth Raikage, what's the rush? In any case, it's a given that the first place belongs to our Konoha."]

[Fourth Raikage: That's not a certainty. Konoha may hold many ninjas of Six Paths level, but superiority in the middle tier isn't guaranteed. Perhaps the Ninja Village list evaluates the mid-tier, which encompasses the entirety!]

[Tsunade: Well, then, Fourth Raikage, you can wait and watch!]

After a brief interval, the fifteenth spot on the Ninja Village Ranking was disclosed.

[15th Position on the Ninja Village List: Sugi Village]

Evidently, another small village.

Subsequently, the rankings of the Ninja villages unfolded.

[14th Position on the Ninja Village List: Ceramic Village]

[13th Position on the Ninja Village List: Curtain Village]

[12th Position on the Ninja Village List: Hoshigakure]

[11th Position on the Ninja Village List: Ishigakure

[10th Position on the Ninja Village List: Tsukigakure]

[9th Position on the Ninja Village List: Kusagakure]

[8th Position on the Ninja Village List: Snowy Village]

[7th Position on the Ninja Village List: Kisaragi Village]

Finally, reaching the sixth rank on the Ninja Village list.

At this juncture, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko emerged on the screen.

The outcome was unmistakable; the Rain Shinobi Village secured the sixth position among the Shinobi Villages.

[6th Position on the list of ninja villages: Rain Shinobi Village]
