Chapter 096.2: Bloodline Limit Rankings!

When the Pet Rankings were updated, many were surprised.

[Kakashi: Rongrong's ranking was low before, but she suddenly shot up to second place. That's an incredible improvement!]

[Tsunade: There's only one reason for this: Rongrong must have obtained the bloodline of the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox! The Purple-Eyed Heart Fox is a creature beyond even the level of a divine beast. If Rongrong acquired its bloodline, it's natural that her strength would soar, making her rise to second place understandable!]

[Mei Terumi: Exactly. That must be it. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense. I'm so envious of Rongrong—such a low probability, and she actually got it, increasing her strength by several times! Even Yaya's strength has surged, surpassing Kumoko!]

[Fourth Raikage: Didn't Yaya obtain a talent card? We don't know what talent she got, but it must significantly boost her strength, and the talent level must be very high!]

[Four-Tails: Sun Wukong is now in first place, even though he didn't receive anything special. How did he become number one?]

[Nine-Tails: Sun Wukong obtained the blood of the Lingming Stone Monkey and the Bright Eyes Clear Water, but neither of those should rapidly increase his strength. However, if he gained the abilities of the Lingming Stone Monkey from its blood, then his strength would have increased significantly, making it no surprise that he took the top spot! After all, he was already second; moving up to first isn't surprising!]

[Third Tsuchikage: The benefits of being in the top ten are enormous. A single stroke of luck can lead to astonishing gains, boosting one's strength by several times!]

[Gaara: We can only hope to make it into the top ten of a ranking ourselves.]

Aside from the changes in the Pet Rankings, there was also a shift in the top ten of the Dojutsu Rankings.

Previously, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Rinne Sharingan was ranked fourth, but now it had changed.

[Fourth Place in Dojutsu Rankings: Fox Spirit Rongrong, possessing the Purple-Eyed Divine Pupil, capable of releasing powerful mental force, breaking any genjutsu, and peering into others' inner worlds to know their thoughts. It can also be imbued into any object, unleashing tremendous power, and can perform the Purple-Eyed Soul Destruction Technique, directly annihilating an enemy's soul, or even control others.]

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was stunned upon seeing this ranking.

"Purple-Eyed Divine Pupil? That's not the Fox Spirit Eye. It seems to have evolved after absorbing and refining the core of the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox. What kind of creature is the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox? Just obtaining its bloodline allowed Rongrong's dojutsu to surpass my Rinne Sharingan??"

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was furious. It wasn't just a matter of ranking; it was about pride and the benefits that came with it!

"Damn it, my Rinne Sharingan is now only ranked fifth!" Kaguya thought to herself. However, she was soon dumbfounded because even fifth place didn't belong to her Rinne Sharingan.

[Dōjutsu Rankings, Fifth Place: Ye Tian, possessing the Contract Eye, which can form unbreakable and unbetrayable contracts with other beings, allowing him to sense the location of the contracted parties. Additionally, it can forcibly contract beings with weak ocular powers or wills, without their consent, and can also forcibly dissolve other people's contracts.]

Ye Tian's Contract Eye had undergone a slight enhancement, now capable of forcibly dissolving others' contracts. Although it was just one additional ability, it indicated that Ye Tian's eye technique had once again improved, and his ocular power likely far surpassed Kaguya's, allowing his technique to overtake her Rinne Sharingan.

Kaguya was unaware that Ye Tian had broken through the Six Paths level and reached the Immortal Path Level; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so perplexed.

As one ranking after another was updated and rewards were distributed, many shinobi began to auction off these rewards. The various great nations spared no expense in bidding for these items from the Golden List. However, the rewards being auctioned at the moment were quite ordinary, with nothing particularly spectacular. If anyone wanted to auction something truly impressive, they would have to wait for the next list to be announced and for the new rewards to be given out. After all, the new list's rewards were always the most remarkable, while the rewards from updating the current lists were just decent, not exceptional.

On this day, the Ninjutsu Rankings were instantly updated. After the rewards were sent to the storage areas of those who made the list, the new ranking list was about to be announced.

[The new ranking list will be announced in ten minutes!]

This was a notification from the livestream.

[Senju Hashirama: Haha, finally, a new list is going to be announced!]

[Tsunade: I'm looking forward to the new ranking list this time!]

[Mei Terumī: I wonder what the new list will be this time. Hopefully, it'll be one where I can make it onto the list!]

[Hidan: Haha, I'm also looking forward to the new list!]

[Fourth Raikage: Haha, no matter what the new list is, if you get a reward you don't need, you can put it up for auction!]

[Tsunade: Fourth Raikage, you've been bidding on a lot of treasures lately!]

[Fourth Raikage: Can't help it, Kumogakure is the wealthiest village, with a deep foundation and plenty of items we can sell to the Golden List.]

As everyone discussed, the ten minutes quickly passed. At this moment, the new list was revealed.

[Bloodline Limit Ranking]

These five large characters appeared on the Golden List, attracting the attention of countless people.

[Mei Terumī: Haha, the Bloodline Limit Ranking! My bloodline limit can finally make it onto the list!]

[Senju Hashirama: That's right! My Wood Release can also make it onto the list. Last time, the Ninjutsu List didn't include my Wood Release, but this time, it can finally make it onto the list!]

[Uchiha Madara: Can the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan still make it onto the Bloodline Limit List?]

[Senju Hashirama: Definitely not! Dōjutsu have already been on the list once, so they can't be included again, right?]

[Tsunade: Dōjutsu won't be on the list again; otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to everyone else!]

[Hiashi Hyūga: Even though I have the Byakugan, I also believe eye techniques shouldn't be on the list!]

Just then, the livestream issued another notification.

[Dōjutsu cannot be included on the Bloodline Limit List. Additionally, in addition to Bloodline Limits, Bloodline Selection and Bloodline Encompassing can also make it onto the Bloodline Limit List!]

"Bloodline Encompassing can make it onto the list, fantastic!!!!"

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was extremely excited! Besides her Rinne Sharingan and Byakugan, she also possessed other Bloodline Encompassing abilities. For instance, her All-Killing Ash Bones, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, Rabbit Hair Needle, and Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball all belonged to Bloodline Encompassing. In reality, even her Infinite Tsukuyomi and Amenominaka were part of Bloodline Encompassing, but since they were ocular abilities tied to the Rinnegan, they probably couldn't make the list. Nonetheless, she was certain that several of her Bloodline Encompassing techniques would make it onto the list, giving her an advantage.

"Ye Tian and the others might not have Bloodline Encompassing abilities, but if I secure one of the top spots on the Bloodline Limit List, I can obtain incredible treasures, leading to a rapid increase in my power!!!" Kaguya thought excitedly.

"Sasuke, what are you thinking about?"

Karin walked over and asked. Nowadays, Karin had become a member of Team Taka, following Sasuke closely. She kept a constant eye on him, and seeing his dazed expression, she curiously inquired.

"Nothing!" Sasuke shook his head. In reality, he was wondering whether his Demonic Power counted as a Bloodline Limit.

Bloodline Limits aren't always innate; for instance, Sunagakure was researching ways to create Bloodline Limits artificially, and many ninja villages were exploring similar methods. For example, Konoha's Wood Release. Additionally, many small villages were also conducting such experiments. If his Demonic Power counted as a Bloodline Limit, then he might have a chance to make it onto the list this time.

"My Demonic Power should be considered a Bloodline Limit, and its ranking will definitely not be low. Once I'm on the list, I can continuously receive Golden List rewards and keep enhancing my strength!" Sasuke thought to himself.

Just then, the Bloodline Limit List was announced, starting from the hundredth place and revealing each rank one by one.

[Bloodline Limit Ranking, 100th Place: Haku, possessing the Bloodline Limit Ice Release, which allows the manipulation of wind and water to create ice. Can perform the secret technique, Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death.]

[Zabuza: Haku's Ice Release is only ranked 100th!!!]

[Haku: Zabuza-sama, my strength is too weak, so I can't fully unleash the power of Ice Release!]

[Sakura Haruno: Haku's Ice Release was indeed powerful; it gave us a lot of trouble back then!]

[Sasuke Uchiha: Trash Bloodline Limit!]

[Zabuza: Sasuke, how dare you insult Haku! You're asking for death!]

[Sasuke Uchiha: Zabuza, if you were alive, I could kill you with a single sword strike now!]

[Karin Uzumaki: Wow, Sasuke-kun is so cool!]

[Mei Terumī: Haku was originally a ninja from our Kirigakure, but unfortunately, he defected with Zabuza.]

[Zabuza: Fifth Mizukage-sama, let's not dwell on the past.]

Subsequently, one Bloodline Limit after another was announced. Although Bloodline Limits were extremely rare, the shinobi world was vast, and many powerful figures in history had possessed them. Thus, making it onto the Bloodline Limit List wasn't easy. Otherwise, Haku wouldn't have only ranked 100th with such a low position!

Before long, the Bloodline Limit List reached the sixtieth rank.

[Bloodline Limit Ranking, 62nd Place: Yamato, possessing Wood Release, which allows him to convert chakra into the source of life, accelerate and control the growth of plants, unleash powerful attacks, restrain enemies, suppress tailed beasts, and even defend and create Wood Clones for reconnaissance.]

Seeing that Yamato's Wood Release only ranked 62nd on the Bloodline Limit List, Senju Hashirama was speechless.

[Senju Hashirama: My incredibly powerful Wood Release has become so weak in your hands, Yamato?]

[Yamato: First Hokage-sama, it's my fault!]

[Tsunade: Grandpa, although Yamato successfully transplanted your Wood Release, the compatibility isn't high, so it's difficult for him to fully unleash its power!]

The list continued, and Darui from Kumogakure also made it onto the list.

[Bloodline Limit Ranking, 52nd Place: Darui, possessing the Bloodline Limit Storm Release, which allows him to unleash powerful laser-like attacks by combining water and lightning, possessing the destructive power of lightning and the control of water, with a guidance effect and formidable power.]

Kumogakure.

"Darui's Storm Release is only ranked 52nd? That's a bit low, but it makes sense. Darui hasn't fully grown yet; otherwise, his ranking would be higher!" The Fourth Raikage muttered to himself.
