Chapter 164: Top Thirty of the Slaughter List!
Golden List Livestream.
[Hidan: I was killed by Ye Tian!]
[Kakuzu: I was also killed by Ye Tian. Damn it, just for killing a few ordinary people, Ye Tian killed us!]
[Tsunade: Hidan and Kakuzu are dead. What a relief!]
[Fourth Raikage: It seems Ye Tian also wants to take the top spot on the Slaughter List, so he's started killing too!]
[Kumoko: Don't worry, Master only kills those who deserve it. He won't kill anyone on the Merit List. Only those who have committed heinous crimes will be slain by Master.]
[Mei Terumi: It's best if he wipes out all members of the Akatsuki!]
[Fox Spirit Yaya: To Master, they are all ants. Let's see how many he can kill within ten minutes.]
At this moment, everyone who knew they were guilty became extremely anxious. They didn't dare to move, fearing they might run into Ye Tian, which would spell their doom.
Soon, many ninjas claimed to have encountered Ye Tian and were killed by him—simultaneously.
[Naruto Uzumaki: Ye Tian killed ninjas in several different places in the Ninja World at the same time?]
[Fourth Raikage: I recall Ye Tian possesses a Bloodline Encompassing ability—Three Thousand Azure Threads. This Bloodline Encompassing can create three thousand clones. So Ye Tian is probably using those clones to kill.]
[Tsunade: It must be his three thousand clones in action. There's no other explanation.]
[Hashirama Senju: Hahaha, many must be trembling in fear, living each second as if it were a year, dreading death!]
[Kakashi: If only Ye Tian could kill Kaguya Otsutsuki, that would save us a lot of trouble.]
[Tsunade: Indeed, Kaguya must have committed numerous crimes, and slaughtering many. If Ye Tian kills her, he'll likely secure the top spot on the Slaughter List.]
"Kill Kaguya Otsutsuki?"
Ye Tian shook his head.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he had already probed Kaguya Otsutsuki earlier. With his cultivation at the Supreme Golden Immortal stage, observing someone who hadn't even reached immortality, like Kaguya, was effortless. He could see her clearly.
However, he noticed traces of the world's essence lingering on Kaguya Otsutsuki.
In other words, Kaguya was protected by the origin of the Ninja World, similar to being a "Child of Destiny." She couldn't be killed just yet. If he did, it would trigger a backlash from the world's rules.
Though Ye Tian wasn't too concerned about this, he didn't want to be rejected by the world while he still stayed in the Ninja World.
Thus, for now, there was no need to kill Kaguya Otsutsuki.
This time, Ye Tian had killed so many people with grave sins, nearly wiping out those who had committed the most serious crimes.
After killing so many, he was confident that he would claim the top spot on the Slaughter List.
Ten minutes passed, and the Slaughter List began to be announced.
At this moment, Ye Tian also stopped his slaughter, having long since killed enough.
Buzz!
The Golden List displayed the name of the hundredth person on the Slaughter List.
[100th place on the Slaughter List: Kakashi]
Kakashi had experienced many battles, even participating in the Third Ninja World War. Thus, he had killed quite a few ninjas. Even so, he only ranked one-hundredth on the Slaughter List.
After all, Kakashi wasn't the type to kill excessively, so his ranking wasn't very high.
[Tsunade: Kakashi made it to the top 100 on the Slaughter List. That's quite an achievement!]
[Might Guy: If Kakashi only made it to 100th place, I definitely won't make it onto the Slaughter List. After all, I haven't killed as many people as he has.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: None of us from this generation of ninjas will make it onto the list. We haven't experienced war, and we've killed too few people.]
[Neji Hyuga: Yeah, we've only occasionally killed a few small-time bandits. That doesn't contribute much to our kill count.]
Soon, the rankings of the Slaughter List continued to be revealed, featuring famous ninjas from the Ninja World, all with impressive battle records.
Many of the top spots were claimed by ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, most of whom were from the Bloody Mist era.
Quickly, the 30th place on the Slaughter List was revealed.
[30th place on the Slaughter List: Zabuza Momochi]
[Kakashi: Zabuza ranked 30th on the Slaughter List!]
[Mei Terumi: Zabuza killed many ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village. He survived endless slaughter as an elite Jonin. It's no surprise he holds this rank. If the ninjas he killed were stronger, I wouldn't find it odd if he ranked in the top ten, given the sheer number.]
[Zabuza Momochi: Haha, making it to 30th place isn't bad. It's been a long time since I ranked on the list. Finally, I'm back!]
[Haku: Congratulations, Lord Zabuza!]
Next, the 29th place on the Slaughter List was revealed.
[29th place on the Slaughter List: Sakumo Hatake]
[Fourth Raikage: Konoha's White Fang, Sakumo Hatake, killed many people, and they were all powerful ninjas. Ranking 29th on the Slaughter List is well deserved!]
[Hashirama Senju: That's a solid ranking!]
[Kakashi: Father, congratulations on ranking 29th on the Slaughter List!]
[Sakumo Hatake: Sigh, despite my high ranking on the Slaughter List, I don't feel any pride, only shame.]
[Tsunade: During wartime, fighting for the village, slaughter is inevitable.]
[Hashirama Senju: There's no need to feel guilty about killing some people, as long as they weren't innocent. During war, no one is innocent. If they were weak, it's only natural they were killed. But killing civilians or innocent ninjas, now that's truly despicable!]
[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, are you hinting at me again?]
At that moment, the 28th place on the Slaughter List was revealed.
[28th place on the Slaughter List: Fourth Raikage A]
[Fourth Raikage: I only ranked 28th? That's a bit low!]
[Tsunade: Being 28th on the Slaughter List is quite respectable! I didn't even make it onto the list!]
[Fourth Raikage: You're too afraid of blood to kill anyone. The ninjas you defeat are mostly just severely injured, not killed. Either Jiraiya or Orochimaru finishes them off, which is why you didn't make the list.]
[Jiraiya: Ranking 28th is quite an achievement. I reckon I'm in the twenties as well!]
[Third Hokage: Orochimaru must be ranked high. He has killed countless ninjas and used many others for his experiments. The number he's slaughtered is enormous.]
[Tsunade: Orochimaru has been quiet for a while, hasn't he?]
[Sasuke Uchiha: I've sealed him. As my strength continues to grow, I occasionally trap him in illusions. But Orochimaru is really hard to kill. I haven't managed to finish him off yet.]
[Orochimaru: Sigh, Sasuke, I've just been too lazy to speak. After being sealed for years, I've come to terms with things. How about we reconcile? I can help you improve your strength. With my assistance, your growth will be much faster.]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Don't even think about coming out for now.]
[Orochimaru: How about I give you this reward in exchange for my freedom? Anyway, you've already surpassed me, so I wouldn't be a threat to you.]
[Sasuke Uchiha: I'll have to see what the reward is like. If it's good enough, I might release you!]
Soon, the 27th place on the Slaughter List was revealed.
Chapter 165: The Top Ten in the Slaughter List Announced!
[Slaughter List No. 27: Hiruzen Sarutobi]
As the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength was somewhat exaggerated, but he was indeed powerful in his youth. After all, during that era, most ninjas weren't particularly strong, so the Third Hokage had once dominated the battlefield, killing many ninjas. However, as time passed, the responsibilities of being Hokage weighed heavily on him, leading to a lack of focus on training. Coupled with his advancing age, his strength waned.
Even if he were alive today, his power would be weak, far below that of other strong figures. Nonetheless, his kill count is still significant, allowing him to rank 27th on the Slaughter List.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was fairly satisfied with this ranking. After all, he had no more arrogance left, as too many had surpassed him.
Soon, more rankings were announced.
[Slaughter List No. 26: Jiraiya]
Although Jiraiya was known for his kindness, he still killed a fair number of ninjas, though he refrained from killing the innocent. In the latter part of his life, the task of defending the village largely fell on the shoulders of the Three Legendary Sannin, while Hiruzen Sarutobi mostly stayed within the village.
Therefore, Jiraiya's overall kill count exceeded that of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As time passed, the rankings were announced one by one, and soon, the top 20 were revealed.
[Slaughter List No. 20: Rimuru, the Slime King]
Rimuru, the Slime King, has killed many, primarily to complete tasks for Ye Tian. In the course of growing his power, it was inevitable that he encountered resistance or troublesome situations, making killing unavoidable.
Under Ye Tian's command, most of the dirty work, including killing, was handled by Beerus and Rimuru, while Sun Wukong only occasionally participated. As a result, Sun Wukong did not make the list.
Soon after, Beerus also appeared in the rankings.
[Slaughter List No. 19: Beerus]
"Ranked 19th on the Slaughter List? That's a bit low. I've killed plenty, but Master won't let me kill randomly! Otherwise, I'd be confident in making the top ten!" Beerus sneered.
Next, the 18th rank was announced.
[Slaughter List No. 18: The Third Raikage]
The Third Raikage spent his entire life in battle, accumulating a high kill count. His ranking at 18th on the Slaughter List is well-deserved.
Then, the 17th rank was revealed.
[Slaughter List No. 17: Yagura]
As the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura was controlled by Uchiha Obito, but much of the bloodshed was of his own doing. Therefore, his kill count was high enough to place him 17th on the Slaughter List.
Next, the 16th rank was announced.
[Slaughter List No. 16: Uchiha Obito]
After Uchiha Obito turned to darkness, he became ruthless, killing countless people, both directly and indirectly. Hence, his place as 16th on the Slaughter List is unquestioned.
Soon, the 15th rank was revealed.
[Slaughter List No. 15: Kakuzu]
[Kakuzu: Hahaha, I made 15th! I hope the reward includes a resurrection tool.]
[Kakashi: If you get resurrected, Ye Tian might just kill you again in an instant!]
[Kakuzu: No problem, I'll save it for later. I don't believe Ye Tian will stay in the ninja world forever. With his power, he'll definitely move on to even stronger worlds.]
[Might Guy: Is that even a strategy?]
[Fourth Raikage: Even Kakuzu managed to get 15th?]
[Tsunade: Kakuzu has lived a long time and frequently took on assassination missions, so it's no surprise his kill count is high.]
Next, the 14th rank was announced.
[Slaughter List No. 14: Minato Namikaze]
Although Minato died young, he was a demon on the battlefield. Many ninjas were killed by him before they even saw him. Moreover, Minato killed quickly, wiping out groups of enemies in the blink of an eye. Therefore, during his time in the war, he amassed a large kill count.
As time passed, more rankings were revealed, and soon, the 11th place was announced.
[Slaughter List No. 11: Tobirama Senju]
[Tobirama Senju: Just missed the top ten by a little! How unfortunate!]
[Hashirama Senju: Brother, it's close enough. The reward for 11th place might not be any worse than the top ten!]
[Tobirama Senju: That's true!]
[Tsunade: It seems like Grandpa made it into the top ten!]
[Uchiha Madara: I'm definitely in the top ten, and my ranking will be higher than Hashirama's!]
[Kurama: I'm sure I'll be in the top ten as well!]
After a short wait, the 10th place was finally revealed.
Buzz!
In the display, a massive beast appeared.
"It's Shukaku, the One-Tail!"
Many people recognized it.
[One-Tail: Hahaha, I made it into the top ten on the Slaughter List!]
[Tsunade: Shukaku, having lived since ancient times, has indeed killed many humans. It's no surprise he made the top ten.]
[Eight-Tails: Shukaku, you got lucky to rank in the top ten!]
[Fourth Raikage: It's just because of his long lifespan. That's how he accumulated such a high kill count.]
[Nine-Tails: Looks like my rank in the top ten will be pretty high.]
[Eight-Tails: The Nine-Tails is the most violent of us all, so its kill count must be very high. Could it be number one?]
[One-Tail: The Nine-Tails being first? Dream on! It hasn't killed that many people; most of the time, it's been sealed inside others. How much opportunity could it have had? Besides, many of the ones it killed were weaklings!]
[Nine-Tails: My rank will be higher than yours, anyway!]
Soon, the 9th place was announced.
The display revealed the form of the White Snake Sage.
[Slaughter List No. 9: White Snake Sage]
[Great Toad Sage: The White Snake made it to 9th place, huh? Seems like it's killed quite a few.]
[White Snake Sage: Heh, some humans dared to enter Ryūchi Cave and failed my trials. When I got hungry, I'd eat a few. Over the long years, naturally, I killed many. I didn't expect that to be enough for 9th place on the Slaughter List!]
[Slug Sage: The White Snake is too cruel!]
[White Snake Sage: What's so cruel about it? Humans eat animals, so I eat a few humans. What's the big deal?]
[Tsunade: Shameless White Snake Sage!]
[White Snake Sage: In any case, I'm in 9th place and will get plenty of rewards. Worth it!]
Before long, the 8th place was revealed.
The display showed the form of the Eight-Tails.
[Slaughter List No. 8: Eight-Tails Gyūki]
Seeing this, the Eight-Tails was very pleased, believing this rank would come with excellent rewards.
