Chapter 40: Chapter 40 : Tailed Beasts Rankings
[Fourth Raikage: Shichibi (Seven Tails) is one of the Tailed Beasts. The Tailed Beasts are some of the most terrifying creatures in the ninja world, right? It only ranks 24th on the pet list. Isn't this an exaggeration?]
[Third Hokage: It's really quite strange. This is a Tailed Beast, and it should be ranked much higher. I didn't expect Shichibi to only be 24th!]
[Senju Hashirama: While the strength of these Tailed Beasts is average, Shichibi being ranked 24th does seem quite absurd. I can't imagine how many Summoning Beasts could surpass the Tailed Beasts.]
[Uchiha Madara: Perhaps there are some terrifying Summoning Beasts hidden in the Three Great Holy Lands?]
[Hidan: What's the use of speculating so much? We'll find out soon!]
Mount Myōboku.
The Great Toad Sage said indifferently, "It seems that Gamabunta ranks above most Tailed Beasts. Ryūchi Cave's Gamaken should also be above most Tailed Beasts, along with us three Sages. There may not be any other mighty Summoning Beasts."
The Great Toad Sage was also puzzled, unable to foresee other powerful Summoning Beasts, so he could only wait.
At this moment, the White Snake Sage frowned and said, "It looks like Gamaken and Katsuyu's summoners will be on the list. Well, at least we can expect some remarkable rewards."
However, she couldn't think of any other Summoning Beasts that could surpass the Kyūbi.
Garaga should be deceased; I wonder if it counts.
If included, Garaga should also rank on this list, and the position should be respectable.
"Garaga is a rather temperamental individual, even more so than Orochimaru's summoning beast, Manda. I doubt we'll receive any rewards from him," remarked the White Snake Sage.
Nonetheless, she could secure Snake princesses's rewards regardless; the three of them were bound by their contract. They still faced certain restrictions and couldn't defy her orders, given that their strength wasn't sufficient.
"Nevertheless, we can give it a try. What if Garaga is willing to reward me? Once Garaga is genuinely ranked, I'll inquire with him," the White Snake Sage contemplated.
At that moment, the pet list's 23rd position was revealed.
[The 23rd place on the pet list: Sanbi (Three Tails) Isobu, previous owner: Yagura]
[Three Tails: What? I'm 23rd, just one place above Chōmei?]
[Ichibi (One Tail): Isobu, it seems your strength ranks second to last among us nine!]
[Three Tails: I'm not satisfied; this ranking is incorrect!]
[Shichibi (Seven Tails): Hehe, Three Tails, you're still one rank above me. Not bad, I'm a bit disappointed.]
[Kyūbi (Nine Tails): You can contest other rankings as you please; after all, I am the first!]
Subsequently, the 22nd position on the pet list was unveiled.
[The 22nd place on the pet list: Nibi (Two Tails) Matatabi, previous owner: Yugito Nii]
The Two Tails' previous Jinchūriki had been separated from the Two Tails. Yugito Nii had passed away and could now only be considered Matabi's former master.
However, if the Two Tails was willing, he could bestow his rewards upon the Yugito Nii.
It remained the Two Tails' choice, and Yugito Nii couldn't interfere. Besides, Yugito Nii was already deceased, so he had no stake in the rewards.
If he indeed received the rewards, he would donate them to the Cloud Shinobi Village.
At this juncture, the Two Tails Matatabi felt no sorrow; after all, he was ranked third from the bottom, which was not shameful.
Following that, the 21st position on the pet list was disclosed.
By this time, the announcement of the list was becoming increasingly sluggish.
[No. 19 in the pet list: Gobi (Five Tails) Kokuō, previous owner: Han]
Both the Four Tails' and Five Tails' Jinchūriki hailed from Iwagakure, the Land of Earth. Unfortunately, Iwagakure suffered an unfortunate fate.
Due to their lack of preparedness, the two Jinchūriki were directly taken over by Akatsuki.
[Third Tsuchikage: It's a shame; our two Jinchūriki from Iwagakure would have been great assets. Curse Akatsuki; they'll pay for this in the future!]
[Fourth Kazekage: Akatsuki is a menace!]
[Nagato: You kill me, I kill you. Isn't that how it works in the ninja world? How many wars have your five ninja villages instigated? How many have perished at your hands? What right do you have to accuse me now?]
[Jiraiya: Nagato, you've changed!]
[Nagato: Teacher Jiraiya, it's not me who changed; it's the ninja world that needs to change!]
[Terumi Mei: There's no need to discuss this further; our words won't change the Akatsuki organization's stance.]
At this point, the 18th position on the pet list was revealed.
[No. 18 in the pet list: Rokubi (Six Tails) Saiken, owner: Yūgao]
[The 17th place on the pet list: Ichibi (One Tail) Shukaku, previous owner: Gaara]
[Ichibi (One Tail): As expected, I'm third among the Tailed Beasts, after Hachibi and Kyūbi.]
[Gaara: Congratulations, Shukaku!]
[Hachibi (Eight Tails): It seems it'll be my turn next. Although I'm only 17th, I'm ahead of you.]
As predicted, the 16th position on the pet list was occupied by Hachibi (Eight Tails) Gyūki.
[The 16th position on the pet list: Hachibi (Eight Tails) Gyūki, owner: Killer Bee]
[Killer Bee: Yo, my Hachibi is 16th. It's pretty well-known; I should get some nice rewards this time.]
[Fourth Raikage: Killer Bee, once you receive the rewards, focus on training. Don't wander around; I'm afraid Akatsuki will keep a close eye on you.]
[Nagato: Hiding won't help. No one can escape the Tailed Beasts that our organization seeks to capture, not even Kyūbi.]
[Jiraiya: Nagato, Naruto is your junior; do you really intend to harm him?]
[Nagato: Yes, even if Jiraiya-sensei tries to stop me, I won't hesitate. No mercy.]
[Jiraiya: Nagato, it seems we'll meet on the battlefield in the future.]
[Nagato: Teacher Jiraiya, I hope that day never comes; otherwise, I'll have no choice but to eliminate you.]
[Tsunade: Jiraiya, your student is quite audacious!]
After a while, the 15th position on the pet list was finally announced.
However, this time, it wasn't the Kyūbi!
