Chapter 114.2: New Ranking Announced, Power List!

"Come with me!"

Sasuke led everyone to an open area.

Immediately, Sasuke manipulated his chakra, transforming it into lightning, which took the form of a spear. He threw it, piercing through several large trees in the distance. Then, he manipulated the lightning to take the form of ferocious tigers, which charged forward, destroying everything in their path.

Next, Sasuke shaped the lightning into a barrier of light, and when Jugo attacked it, he couldn't break through.

"Sasuke, what is this ability?" Suigetsu asked curiously.

"It's called Energy Shaping!" Sasuke explained. "This is a high-level talent that allows me to control any energy. For example, I possess lightning energy, and I can shape it into anything I want, and it will also gain a significant power boost. Naturally, I can also use this talent with Fire Release, shaping fire into various forms."

"That's quite an impressive ability!" Karin remarked.

"It really is. This talent has made my combat abilities much more versatile, allowing me to handle all sorts of situations!"

Sasuke said excitedly.

It could be said that with the acquisition of this Energy Shaping talent, Sasuke's strength had skyrocketed, though he was still slightly short of reaching the Six Paths level.

In the Golden List Livestream, a notice about the next ranking appeared.

[The next ranking will be announced one year from now.]

[Hashirama Senju: We have to wait a whole year for the new rankings!]

[Madara Uchiha: I hope to be in the top ten a year from now!]

[Hashirama Senju: I hope to stay in the top ten as well!]

Soon, the Livestream no longer allowed those not on the rankings to chat, and the conversation gradually dwindled.

A few days later, Yaya and Kumoko both closed their chat groups.

By now, after completely refining the Millennium Ice Lotus, Yaya's ice abilities had significantly increased, and her strength had improved substantially, reaching the peak of the Six Paths level.

Kumoko had also undergone a transformation after using the Heart of Evolution. She had evolved into a Demon God species!

"Master, I've evolved into a Demon God species, and all aspects of my abilities have improved greatly!"

Kumoko said excitedly.

"Very good!" Ye Tian nodded. "However, right now, you can only be considered a weaker Demon God. You need to continue improving your strength. If you get more good rewards from the Golden List, you might even reach the Immortal Path level in a short time!"

"Yes, I hope to make it into the top ten in the next ranking!"

Kumoko said with anticipation.

In the following year, the ninja world remained peaceful.

The Akatsuki organization didn't dare to act recklessly, as the Fourth Raikage's strength had soared to near-Six Paths level. Even Uchiha Obito had to retreat when facing him, not daring to engage head-on.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi plan was indefinitely postponed, and they didn't dare to start a war recklessly.

In truth, the Akatsuki organization wasn't in any position to start a war now; they were guaranteed to lose. Even if Uchiha Madara were resurrected, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand Naruto Uzumaki's power.

In this situation, how could they have the confidence to go to war?

Over the course of the year, Ye Tian continued to train hard. In his time domain, training there was equivalent to ten years of practice in the outside world.

With his current potential and talent, his strength had greatly improved in the Immortal Path level, making substantial progress.

In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Ninjas from all the major villages were thrilled and eagerly anticipating the new ranking list. After all, last time, a group of weak individuals ascended to Jōnin, Kage level, and even Super Kage level power through the Handsome Men and Beautiful Women lists.

Over the past year, previous rankings were constantly updated, and rewards were continuously announced, which led to further improvements in the strength of many ninjas.

After all, each reward was equivalent to several months, or even years, of hard training!

Especially for those ninjas who had already reached their limits and hadn't progressed in nearly a decade, these rewards were raising their upper limits!

For a time, the Kage level seemed to have exploded across the Ninja World, and it truly felt like Kage-level ninjas were everywhere.

Golden List Livestream.

The livestream was unlocked, and countless ninjas flooded in to chat, each discussing the new ranking list.

At this moment.

A notification appeared in the Golden List Livestream, announcing the name of the next ranking list.

[The Power List will be announced in ten minutes!]

[Note: Nations and villages are not included in the Power List. The Power List will list specific individual clan powers, such as the Hyuga Clan. Extinct powers are also not included.]

This time, the Golden List made it very clear.

For example, powers that once existed but are now extinct will not be able to make the list.

[Senju Hashirama: So, it seems that this time, the rewards have little to do with the dead. The dead shouldn't be able to receive rewards!]

[Uchiha Madara: It looks like I won't be able to get any rewards this time!]

[Uchiha Madara: The Akatsuki organization should be able to make the list, but unfortunately, Nagato and the others defected. Otherwise, the Akatsuki would be much stronger!]

[Tsunade: Why aren't villages considered powers? Otherwise, Konoha would definitely be one of the top-ranked!]

[Gamabunta: I wonder if Mount Myoboku counts as one of the powers? If it does, we should rank quite high!]

[Great Toad Sage: Based on the hints, it should count. We are a purely independent power!]

[White Snake Sage: Hahaha, Ryuchi Cave will definitely rank very high this time!!!]

[Hyuga Hiashi: Our Hyuga Clan is also very strong. We are a prestigious family in Konoha. Now, both my daughter Hinata and Neji are extremely powerful. We will definitely rank high!]

[Kakashi: Is it too late to form a power now?]

[Might Guy: Kakashi, let's form a power together!]

[Tsunade: I'm afraid not. The hint also mentioned that a power needs to be recognized by a certain number of people to be considered legitimate. Otherwise, it won't count! If you form one now, it's already too late!]

[Kakashi: What a pity!]

"Master, this time it's the Power List. Won't the forces under your command be exposed?"

Kumoko frowned.

"Exposure is fine. If we can get some rewards, that would be quite nice!" Ye Tian said.

He didn't expect the forces he established to remain hidden forever. Sooner or later, they would be exposed, and now was just a bit earlier than expected.

Honghong said, "Master, if those people knew the situation of the forces under your command, they'd be shocked to the point of disbelief!"

Yaya added, "Absolutely! They'd be utterly confused. I can already imagine their expressions!"

Time passed, and ten minutes quickly went by.

At this time, everyone eagerly looked at the livestream, waiting for the Golden List to announce the Power List.

Amidst the anticipation of countless people, the hundredth power on the list was finally announced.

[The 100th Power on the Power List: Fuma Clan]

[Jiraiya: The Fuma Clan? This is a power in the Land of Rivers. I remember one of the Pain's Six Paths was a ninja from the Fuma Clan.]

[Fourth Raikage: The Fuma Clan is somewhat famous in the Land of Rivers, but after all, it's just a power from a small nation. Their strength is still average, but being able to rank 100th on the Power List is still decent! My Yotsuki Clan is very powerful. I wonder what rank we'll get?]

[Kushina Uzumaki: The Uzumaki Clan used to be very strong, but unfortunately, we've been destroyed. Now, there are only a few Uzumaki clansmen left, so we can't be considered a power anymore!]

Konoha.

Members of the Nara Clan gathered together and looked at the livestream.

"Clan Leader, our Nara Clan will definitely make the list, but I'm afraid there will only be one reward. How should we distribute it?" a Nara Clan ninja asked their clan leader, Nara Shikahisa.

"If we receive a treasure that benefits the entire Nara Clan, then the entire clan will use it. If it's a single treasure that can't be shared, then we'll vote for the most suitable person!" Shikahisa said.

Everyone had no objections, and even Nara Shikaku dared not object.

Meanwhile, the Yamanaka Clan, the Akimichi Clan, the Inuzuka Clan, and other major clans were all closely watching this ranking.

For them, this was also a great opportunity to gain tremendous benefits!

But with so many clansmen, distributing rewards was also a big problem, so they were all discussing it. If the distribution was unfair, many clan members would be dissatisfied.
