Chapter 042: The Three Great Sages of the World Can't Make It to the Top Ten?
[Pet Ranking 13th Place: Great Toad Sage, Previous Owner: Sage of Six Paths]
The inclusion of the Great Toad Sage in the ranking was not unexpected by others.
After all, the Sages of the three great sanctuaries followed the Great Toad Sage, so they could definitely make it onto the pet ranking list.
However, the fact that the Great Toad Sage only ranked 13th came as a surprise to everyone, including the Great Toad Sage himself, the White Snake Sage, and the Slug Sage.
Great Toad Sage: "Me, only 13th? This..."
White Snake Sage: "Impossible, how could that old toad only be 13th? Although his combat power may not be that strong, he has lived for a very long time and mastered countless sage techniques and methods. How could he only be 13th?"
Slug Sage: "This is unexpected. I thought the top three on the pet ranking would be me, the Great Toad Sage, and the White Snake Sage. How did the Great Toad Sage get excluded from the top ten?"
Jiraiya: "The Great Toad Sage is the most respected and mysterious sage of Mount Myoboku. How could he only rank 13th?"
Kurama (Nine-Tails): "I only ranked 14th, so isn't it normal for the Great Toad Sage to be 13th?"
Shukaku (One-Tail): "Normal, my foot! Can you compare yourself to the Great Toad Sage? When the Sage of Six Paths was still alive, he was extremely respectful to the Great Toad Sage."
Great Toad Sage: "Forget it, 13th place is fine. I don't care about the rewards anyway."
White Snake Sage: "Old toad, you're becoming hypocritical. You don't care about rewards? Who doesn't want to become stronger and live longer? Our lifespans aren't that long anymore. Once we die, the three great sanctuaries will immediately decline. I don't believe you want to die!"
Great Toad Sage: "It's not hypocrisy; it's just the truth. Complaining won't change the ranking, and I think neither you nor the Slug Sage will make it into the top ten!"
White Snake Sage: "Nonsense! I'm sure I can make it into the top ten, and so can the Slug Sage!"
Great Toad Sage: "We'll see. I fear the top ten are deeply hidden summoning beasts in the ninja world that even we don't know about."
White Snake Sage: "I still find that hard to believe."
Meanwhile, in the Village Hidden in Sound, Orochimaru was somewhat shocked. He didn't know much about the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku, but he was well aware of the White Snake Sage, a terrifying being. Even he didn't dare to have any ill intentions toward the White Snake Sage.
Manda, though powerful and disobedient, was indeed a great summoning beast and a major asset for Orochimaru, something to be proud of. But compared to the White Snake Sage, Manda was just a child.
And with the Great Toad Sage being on par with the White Snake Sage in terms of strength and status, their ranking should have been much higher.
But this time, the Great Toad Sage was only ranked 13th, while Kurama ranked 14th.
Orochimaru: "Strange, very strange. Whether it's Kurama or the Great Toad Sage, they shouldn't be ranked so low. This is the pet ranking, not a ranking of humans. How many summoning beasts in the ninja world can surpass Kurama?"
At the same time, many other ninjas were also puzzled by the ranking.
Hashirama Senju: "Even the Great Toad Sage is only ranked 13th. I'm really curious about the top ten pets. Are they truly worthy of their ranks?"
Madara Uchiha: "There shouldn't be a problem. I trust the rankings on the Golden List."
Third Hokage: "Even the Great Toad Sage is only ranked 13th. I'm also curious about what the top ten could be."
Third Tsuchikage: "I'm not one for guessing; let's just wait and see!"
Everyone waited patiently. It wouldn't be long before the top ten on the pet ranking were fully revealed. While many ninjas were curious, they weren't in a rush.
Finally, the 12th place on the pet ranking was announced.
[Pet Ranking 12th Place: White Snake Sage, Previous Owner: Sage of Six Paths]
White Snake Sage: "What, I'm only 12th????"
Great Toad Sage: "For some reason, I suddenly feel much better. Old White Snake, didn't I say you wouldn't make it into the top ten? Turns out I was right!"
White Snake Sage: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! With my power, how could I be 12th? I should definitely be in the top ten! Even being number one wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
Great Toad Sage: "That's just how it is, Old White Snake. Don't be too upset!"
The White Snake Sage was very disappointed. The rewards for 12th place were completely different from those for the top ten. Although the value of each ranking varied, and the treasures obtained were different, they were often perfectly suited to the winner.
If she had made it into the top ten, she might have received a treasure that could enhance her bloodline or even transform her into a flood dragon or a true dragon.
But now, being only 12th, the chances of getting such a treasure were much lower.
So, she was naturally disappointed.
Orochimaru: "The White Snake Sage is 12th? I, Orochimaru, question the fairness of this ranking!"
Manda: "Although I don't particularly like that old White Snake, her power is indeed terrifying. I didn't expect her to be ranked only 12th!"
Aoda: "Manda, you will not speak disrespectfully of the White Snake Sage!"
Manda: "I just like to talk. Hmph!"
The Three Goddesses of Ryuchi Cave were also quite surprised. In their eyes, the White Snake Sage was the most powerful of all beasts. They didn't expect her to only be ranked 12th on the pet ranking.
Instantly, the White Snake Sage's invincible image in their minds fell.
White Snake Sage: "At this rate, the Slug Sage is likely only 11th and won't make it into the top ten either."
Slug Sage: "I don't care about the ranking. 11th is good enough!"
White Snake Sage: "If the leaders of the three great sanctuaries can't even make it into the top ten of the pet ranking, it would be too humiliating!"
Great Toad Sage: "Old White Snake, take it easy. Keep practicing, and maybe you'll move up the ranking in the future."
White Snake Sage: "That's all I can do!"
After a while, the 11th place on the pet ranking was revealed. As the White Snake Sage, Great Toad Sage, and others had predicted, the 11th place was indeed the Slug Sage.
[Pet Ranking 11th Place: Slug Sage, Previous Owner: Sage of Six Paths]
With this announcement, it was confirmed that none of the three Sages made it into the top ten.
