Chapter 060: The Taijutsu Ranking Refreshes, Beerus' Taijutsu Makes the List!
Soon, Kumoko saw her reward.
"A Magic Eye!"
"Great stuff!"
Kumoko immediately took a liking to the Magic Eye.
"Extract!"
Kumoko extracted the Magic Eye from the livestream, then began refining it like a weapon, directly transforming it into a black light that fused into her left eye.
From the outside, there was no visible difference.
"With this Magic Eye, my Evil Eye skills can unleash terrifying power!" Kumoko was very satisfied with the Magic Eye, as it could significantly enhance her strength!
"Master, Sister Honghong, Sister Yaya, Sister Rongrong, have the Pet Ranking rewards been fully announced?" Kumoko asked.
"They're done!" Ye Tian said, "You've been in seclusion for almost two days, so the reward segment for the Pet Ranking has already ended."
"Can you tell me what rewards were given out afterward?" Kumoko asked curiously.
Honghong quickly filled Kumoko in on what had happened.
Kumoko soon understood the situation.
"A whole year until the next ranking is revealed... I hope I can make the list again!" Kumoko said with anticipation.
"Master, do you know what the next ranking will be?" Rongrong asked out of curiosity.
In her eyes, her master was the wisest person in the world, seemingly omniscient and omnipotent, understanding the principles of everything and knowing both the past and the future.
Therefore, perhaps the master might know what the next ranking would be.
"I really don't know this one!" Ye Tian shook his head.
If it were about the history of the ninja world or the future events in the ninja world, as a transmigrator, he would know. Some secret techniques could also be deduced using his deduction system, and no matter what troubles or unsolvable issues arose, he could handle them.
However, the Golden List was too mysterious; even he couldn't fully grasp its workings at the moment.
So, he genuinely couldn't predict what the next ranking would be.
"If even the Master doesn't know, then we'll just have to wait until the next Golden List is announced," Rongrong said calmly.
...
In Konoha.
Asuma Sarutobi received a Substitute Talisman secretly sent by the Enma, the Monkey King.
This Substitute Talisman was extremely valuable, but no one dared to ask for it. After all, Asuma Sarutobi's strength was formidable, just shy of Kage-level combat power. Even Kage-level powerhouses wouldn't take him lightly.
Moreover, he was the son of the Third Hokage and a member of the Sarutobi clan, one of the most prestigious clans in Konoha. Thus, having obtained this Substitute Talisman, it was undoubtedly his to keep!
"Father, thank you," Asuma Sarutobi murmured.
Meanwhile, other ninjas who had received rewards from the rankings were also working hard to improve their strength, eagerly awaiting the next ranking announcement.
Perhaps due to the appearance of the rankings and the emergence of one incredible treasure after another, the strength of many top-tier ninjas in the ninja world was rapidly increasing.
For example, Tsunade's strength had skyrocketed.
After obtaining the Smooth Smooth Fruit, Tsunade continuously developed its abilities, enabling her to achieve instant movement on the ground.
Additionally, she could control the Smooth Smooth Fruit's abilities freely, without affecting her daily life.
Ninjas like Kakashi and Might Guy were also advancing quickly.
At the same time, with the appearance of the Golden List, there was a significant disparity in ninja strength, leading to the gradual establishment of a new ninja power hierarchy.
Jonin, Elite Jonin, Kage-level, Super Kage-level, and Six Paths level.
This ranking system was only popular among the upper echelons. For instance, Kakashi and others were considered to possess Kage-level strength, while Orochimaru had top-tier Kage-level strength, just below Super Kage-level.
Ninjas like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were considered top-tier Super Kage-level, just below Six Paths level. When several of them teamed up, they could even contend with a weaker Six Paths level opponent.
For taijutsu specialists like Might Guy, the ranking was somewhat unique. Everyone believed that he already possessed power comparable to Six Paths level, but only in brief moments of brilliance.
However, with Seven Gates of the Eight Gates Released Formation, he currently had the strength of a weaker Super Kage-level.
After all, Might Guy had received rewards from the Taijutsu Ranking, greatly boosting his strength, so it was natural for him to have such power.
But Might Guy's shortcomings were significant, making him vulnerable to being targeted. If he encountered a Kage-level ninja who countered him, he might struggle unless he opened the Eighth Gate.
After developing the Smooth Smooth Fruit for some time, Tsunade also attained Super Kage-level strength, and she could maintain it in prolonged battles.
Time passed, and the strength of the various ninja villages increased rapidly.
However, the major villages noticed the activities of the Akatsuki organization, which seemed to be preparing to capture the Tailed Beasts once again.
In the Land of Water, at a lake.
Deidara and Obito Uchiha arrived here. Although Obito was the true mastermind behind the Akatsuki, Nagato was still the de facto leader.
Therefore, Obito had to follow Nagato's orders to some extent. Now that the Akatsuki was short on manpower, Obito stepped in to assist...
Uchiha Obito replaced the former member Sasori of the Red Sand and teamed up with Deidara to capture the Three-Tails, Isobu. The Three-Tails had been hiding at the bottom of a lake since the deaths of its two previous hosts. White Zetsu had spent a long time gathering information and finally located Isobu when it surfaced briefly.
"Lord Obito, allow me to handle the capture of the Three-Tails," Deidara said respectfully. He dared not show any disrespect to Uchiha Obito, whose status was on par with Nagato's and whose strength was unfathomable, possibly even linked to the real Uchiha Madara. Moreover, everyone in the Akatsuki knew that the masked man responsible for the Nine-Tails attack on Konoha was Uchiha Obito, who had even controlled Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage and former host of the Three-Tails, with his terrifying ocular abilities.
"Very well," Obito nodded slightly. He preferred to remain low-key and would avoid engaging in combat unless absolutely necessary. Since Deidara was willing to take action alone, Obito chose to stay hidden, only intervening if something went wrong.
Deidara soon used his explosive clay to attack the lake, provoking Isobu and forcing it to surface. A fierce battle ensued!
