[Rank 53 on the List of Handsome Men: Ōtsutsuki Toneri]
Almost none of the ninjas in the ninja world knew about Ōtsutsuki Toneri, so when the list was announced, it went unnoticed by most.
Moon.
Ōtsutsuki Toneri felt a twinge of annoyance seeing himself ranked only 53rd on the list of handsome men.
"Damn, I should be in the top ten! I could easily catch Hinata's eye then! Long overdue!" muttered Ōtsutsuki Toneri, his frustration evident.
As the list continued, reaching the 30th position, Sai's name appeared.
[No. 30 on the list of handsome men: Sai]
[Haruno Sakura: Congratulations, Sai!]
[Tiantian: Well done, Sai!]
[Sai: Thank you, everyone!]
[Danzo: Looks like I won't make it onto the list!]
[Fourth Raikage: Danzo, you must be kidding! With that face of yours, it's a miracle you don't scare people away. Wanting to be on the handsome men's list? Dream on!]
[Third Tsuchikage: Haha, if Danzo can make it, then I should be at the top of the list!]
[Third Hokage: Danzo, give it up!]
The announcements continued, and tension grew as the available spots dwindled.
[21st place on the list of handsome men: Hyuga Neji]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Hahaha, my son Neji made it to 21st place!]
[Tiantian: Congratulations, Neji!]
[Haruno Sakura: Well done, Neji!]
[Rock Lee: Neji is incredible! Making it to 21st place, he deserves a great reward, and his strength will surely soar!]
In Konoha,
Neji stared at his name engraved at the 21st spot on the handsome men's list. Though he wasn't particularly concerned about his appearance, being on this list meant access to valuable resources.
"Being on this list will bring me rewards and strengthen my abilities," Neji murmured to himself.
His desire for strength remained strong, despite having come to terms with his father's death. Naruto and Sasuke had surpassed him in strength, and Neji yearned to catch up. Entering the handsome men's list seemed like his opportunity.
The announcements continued, and soon the list reached the top ten.
[Handsome Boys No. 15: Ōtsutsuki Ashura]
[Handsome Boys No. 14: Ōtsutsuki Indra]
Seeing the rankings, Naruto grew anxious upon realizing he wasn't included.
[Uzumaki Naruto: Why am I not on the list? Can it be that I didn't make it?]
[Haruno Sakura: Naruto, do you even want to be on the handsome boys' list???]
[Uzumaki Naruto: What's the problem? Can't I be on it?]
[Haruno Sakura: You're already ranked, it seems you can't make it any higher!]
[Hyūga Hinata: Maybe Naruto-kun will make it to the top ten again!]
[Haruno Sakura: Hinata, do you really think Naruto will make it to the top ten?]
Unwittingly, the rankings were revealed up to the tenth position.
At this juncture, anticipation hung thick in the air. The top ten held significant allure, with the added suspense of images accompanying the announcement.
Ah!
The tenth spot for the list of handsome men was disclosed.
As the figure materialized on screen, numerous ninjas immediately recognized him.
"Naruto???"
[Handsome Men No. 10: Uzumaki Naruto]
Upon hearing the announcement, Uzumaki Naruto burst with excitement!!!
[Uzumaki Naruto: Hahahaha, I'm the tenth on the list of handsome men!!!]
[Haruno Sakura: Ha, Naruto making it to the tenth spot on the list of handsome men? Goodness, I'm flabbergasted! Is this list even accurate?]
[Tsunade: Well, Naruto does have a certain charm, especially in Sage Mode where he exudes strength and presence. It's understandable why he's ranked tenth.]
[Uzumaki Kushina: It's only natural for my son to be on the list. I think his ranking is too modest!]
[Rock Lee: Oh my, Naruto has clinched the tenth spot! I might not stand a chance now. I'm envious!]
[Might Guy: Hey, I didn't make the cut either. Lee, let's console each other for a bit!]
[Kakashi: I wonder if I made it to the top ten?]
[Might Guy: Kakashi is undeniably handsome; he's got to be on that list!]
[Uzumaki Naruto: Hey, as the tenth on the list of handsome men, you all better start calling me Handsome Naruto from now on!]
I*:....)
[Haruno Sakura: Anyway, my future husband Sasuke must top this list, or else!]
Then, the ninth spot on the list of handsome men was unveiled.
Ah!
A figure appeared on screen.
[Ninth on the list of handsome men: Uchiha Madara]
[Senju Hashirama: It's Madara!]
[Uchiha Madara: Hahaha, indeed it's me. Being ninth on the list of handsome men is quite unexpected, to be honest!]
[Senju Hashirama: Hehe, who would've thought you'd make it to ninth on the list of handsome men?]
[Uchiha Madara: Well, it's somewhat surprising to secure a spot in the top ten, but it's not unwarranted. You, on the other hand, might not even make the list!]
[Senju Hashirama: Don't be absurd. I was the most sought-after guy in Konoha back then. Countless girls were smitten with me!]
[Uzumaki Mito: Why was I unaware of this adoration from countless girls?]
[Senju Hashirama: Oh, dear wife, I forgot you were in the room! I was merely boasting; please don't take it to heart!]
[Uzumaki Mito: Humph!]
Subsequently, the announcements continued, and this time it was Senju Hashirama's turn.
A picture of Senju Hashirama flashed on the screen.
[Eighth place on the list of handsome men: Senju Hashirama]
[Senju Hashirama: Hahaha, I made it onto the list, securing the eighth spot! I'm content. Finally outshining this guy from our class.]
[Uchiha Madara: You've managed to surpass me by one rank. This list is truly unfair!]
[Tsunade: Congratulations to Grandpa for making it to eighth place on the list of handsome men! It's his first time in the top ten!]
[Third Hokage: Well done, Hashirama-sensei!]
[Senju Tobirama: Congrats, bro!]
[Uzumaki Mito: My husband's charm is so strong he made it to the top ten handsome men list!]
[Senju Hashirama: I'm thrilled too, especially knowing I've outshone Madara!]
[Uchiha Madara: Outshone me? In your dreams!]
[Senju Hashirama: The Gold List says otherwise, doesn't it?]
Instantly, a heated argument erupted between the two.
Despite their bickering, they were actually quite excited and happy. This was their first time making it into the top ten, not solely because of their strength but also due to their charisma. Of course, their strength played a significant role; otherwise, there were plenty of other handsome men who didn't make the cut.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the announcement for the eighth spot on the handsome men list was made.
