Chapter 104: The New Rankings Include Two Lists

Chapter 104: The New Rankings Include Two Lists

Soon, it was time for the Bloodline Limit rewards of several Tailed Beasts.

Shukaku, the One-Tail, was quite lucky and directly received thirty percent more chakra.

[One-Tail: Haha! I gained thirty percent more chakra! Eight-Tails, you're no match for me now!]

[Eight-Tails: Hmph, we'll only know who's stronger after a fight!]

Though the Eight-Tails said this, it was clear that its confidence had waned.

After all, the One-Tail and the Eight-Tails were originally about equal in strength, constantly competing against each other, with neither willing to admit defeat. Previously, the Golden List had judged the Eight-Tails to be stronger.

But now, with the One-Tail's chakra increased by thirty percent, its strength undoubtedly surpassed the Eight-Tails.

Thus, the Eight-Tails naturally lost its confidence.

Soon, the rewards for the Bloodline Limit Ranking from third to tenth place were announced.

This time, the reward belonged to Gaara.

Gaara was highly anticipating the reward.

Quickly, two reward items appeared in succession.

The first item was a bottle of Body Refining Pills, which could enhance one's physical strength—considered a rather ordinary item.

However, the second item was a Question Card.

This left Gaara in a bit of a dilemma, unsure of which item to choose.

Sunagakure.

"Gaara, which item are you going to choose?" Temari asked.

"The Body Refining Pills won't be much help to me since I'm not suited for close combat," Gaara replied.

Temari nodded. Gaara excelled in controlling sand during battle, making close combat unsuitable for him.

If Gaara were a Taijutsu user, the Body Refining Pills would be a good choice, but he wasn't.

"I've decided to choose the Question Card. I'll take the gamble—at worst, I'll just lose this chance."

Gaara made his decision.

Then, he chose the Question Card.

[Kakashi: Gaara actually chose the Question Card!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: The Question Card can be tricky, but if luck's on your side, there's still a chance to answer correctly. I hope Gaara gets it right!]

[Fourth Kazekage: Son, good luck!]

Soon, Gaara used the Question Card without auctioning it off like Hashirama Senju did.

Everyone knew that Gaara was taking a gamble.

This time, there was no image; a question simply appeared.

[Question: What is the most popular book in the Ninja World?]

[Kakashi: It's got to be "Icha Icha Paradise"!]

[Jiraiya: Hahaha, I agree, it's "Icha Icha Paradise"!]

[Might Guy: Ahem, that book is indeed quite good!]

[Fourth Raikage: Indeed, it's a bestseller in the Ninja World. Even in our Kumogakure, many people read it, though the updates are a bit slow.]

[Sakura Haruno: Is it the book that Kakashi-sensei reads all the time? What's it about, and why won't Kakashi-sensei let us read it?]

[Kakashi: Girls shouldn't read it!]

[Mei Terumi: Could it be that kind of book?]

[Asuma Sarutobi: That book is indeed popular; this question seems easy to answer.]

"Icha Icha Paradise!"

Although Gaara had never read the book, he had heard of it, and some of the shinobi in Sunagakure read it as well.

So, he had some understanding of it.

This book was undoubtedly the Ninja World's number one bestseller!

Thus, Gaara answered without hesitation.

[Gaara: The most popular book in the Ninja World is 'Icha Icha Paradise'!]

Soon, the result was revealed.

[Congratulations, Gaara, you answered correctly!]

Seeing the result, the shinobi of Sunagakure were all very pleased, and Gaara was also extremely excited.

Of course, another person who was thrilled was Jiraiya.

[Jiraiya: Hahahaha! I never expected that my book would be the Ninja World's number one bestseller. I'm truly honored!]

[Tsunade: Ugh, Jiraiya, how can you be proud of that? This kind of book corrupts young minds!]

[Jiraiya: It's art, you know?]

[Deidara: Explosions are art!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: When I get the chance, I want to read it too.]

[Kushina Uzumaki: Naruto, you are not allowed to read it!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Alright, Mom, I get it!]

At this moment, everyone was eagerly waiting for Gaara's reward. Would it be something extraordinary?

Finally, the treasure appeared.

Buzz!!!

A card appeared in the livestream.

When Gaara saw this card, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

"Revival Card!"

Gaara had always yearned for a Revival Card, but it was incredibly difficult to obtain such an item!

Now, he finally had one.

[Kakashi: It's a Revival Card! Gaara is really lucky!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Congrats, Gaara, for getting the Revival Card!]

[Fourth Kazekage: Well done, Gaara! Now quickly revive your father—me!]

[Madara Uchiha: Such luck! I can't believe a third-place reward includes a Revival Card.]

[Hashirama Senju: That's luck for you. If I hadn't auctioned off my Question Card, maybe my reward for answering correctly would have been a Revival Card too!]

[Tobirama Senju: Big brother, forget it. Even if you had chosen the Question Card, you'd most likely have gotten the answer wrong!]

[Fourth Raikage: Seeing Gaara's question and reward, I feel like I could do it too! I hope I get a Question Card someday—I'd be hard-pressed not to use it!]

At this moment.

Many shinobi in Sunagakure suggested reviving the Fourth Kazekage since reviving him would greatly enhance the village's strength.

Even many shinobi from other villages believed Gaara might revive the Fourth Kazekage.

After Gaara retrieved the Revival Card from the livestream, Temari asked, "Gaara, who do you want to revive?"

Gaara didn't hesitate and said directly, "I want to revive Mom!"

This time, neither Temari nor Kankuro had any objections, nor did they try to persuade Gaara otherwise.

Although Gaara's conflict with the Fourth Kazekage had been resolved and Gaara's temperament had changed, the person Gaara loved the most was still his mother, not his father.

Moreover, they missed their mother very much.

So, they had no objections to reviving their mother.

Thus.

Gaara immediately activated the Revival Card.

"Revive my mother, Karura!"

The Revival Card was activated.

In the Pure Land.

A majestic force descended upon Karura, bringing her back to Sunagakure.

The next moment.

Karura's body was reconstructed, her soul returned, and she was successfully revived in an instant.

"Mom!"

Kankuro, Temari, and Gaara all shed tears.

"Kankuro, Temari, Gaara, am I really revived?"

Karura asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mom, I revived you!"

Gaara said.

Golden List Livestream.

At this moment, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa had already learned that his wife Karura had been revived and that Gaara had not revived him.

Initially, he felt a bit disappointed and even dissatisfied, but he soon let out a bitter smile.

Indeed, given how he had treated Gaara, it was unlikely Gaara would revive him first.

[Fourth Kazekage: Gaara, make sure to protect your mother well from now on!]

[Gaara: I will!]

"Gaara resurrected his mother, and Naruto resurrected his mother. When will I be able to resurrect my parents?"

Sasuke thought to himself.

However, it was now time for his own reward.

"I hope I get something good. This is my first time on the list!"

Uchiha Sasuke eagerly anticipated.

If he could get a revival card, that would be even better!

Soon, Sasuke's reward item arrived!

A treasure appeared in the livestream.

Since it was his first time on the list, only one treasure would appear.

Everyone immediately recognized it.

A Devil Fruit!

[Rumble-Rumble Fruit: A Logia-type Devil Fruit that turns the user into electricity, making them immune to most physical attacks. It allows the user to release high-voltage electricity at will, move at lightning speed, and possess terrifying destructive power. It also has healing effects through electrotherapy. One drawback: it is vulnerable to seawater!]

[Fourth Raikage: It's the Rumble-Rumble Fruit! I passed up this fruit before, and now Sasuke has gotten it!]

[Mei Terumi: The Rumble-Rumble Fruit has a flaw—it fears seawater. However, aside from that, it's indeed a powerful reward. Sasuke only ranked thirty-first and still got such a reward—he really scored big!]
