Chapter 127.2: Kage Level List Released, Three Leaderboards!

Golden List Livestream Room.

[Kakashi: The list is about to be announced, isn't it?]

[Tsunade: Yes, it's almost time. There are three lists—what could they be this time?]

[Fourth Raikage: I hope this time I make it onto the list, and with a high enough rank to greatly enhance my strength, making up for my previous losses.]

[Tsunade: Fourth Raikage, how's the new technology we've developed in Konoha? The Hashirama Cell arm—does it work well?]

[Fourth Raikage: It's useful, but still not as good as my original arm!]

[Third Tsuchikage: Fourth Raikage, why don't you trade for a healing talisman from the Captain and restore your arm? Or maybe you could let Tsunade's slug heal you with her "poisonous healing" for a few months—that should work too!]

[Fourth Raikage: Ahem, forget it. I think the Hashirama Cell arm is good enough!]

Soon, the Golden List Livestream Room displayed a message about the three lists.

[The new lists will be updated in 10 minutes. This time, the list will be the Kage-level List. Note: This list includes Kage-level, Super Kage-level, or below Six Paths level. All cultivation systems are eligible for ranking!]

Upon hearing the name of the list, many Super Kage-level ninjas became excited.

[Kakashi: A Kage-level list? But won't it mostly be dominated by Super Kage-level ninjas? Ordinary Kage-levels don't stand a chance!]

[Tsunade: Yeah, with so many Super Kage-levels under Ye Tian's command, most of the rankings will surely be taken by them!]

[Fourth Raikage: There aren't that many Super Kage-levels, so they should all make the list. As for Kage-levels, maybe only a few will manage to rank.]

[Asuma Sarutobi: Looks like I won't make it onto the list!]

[Hiashi Hyuga: Same here, none of us will make it.]

Although both Asuma Sarutobi and Hiashi Hyuga had grown significantly stronger, they were still only ordinary Kage-levels and didn't stand a chance of making the list.

However, Kakashi and Might Guy had both stepped into the Super Kage-level, so they were likely to rank.

[Hashirama Senju: So, does this mean the Six Paths List will come after the Kage-level List? But what about the third list?]

[Madara Uchiha: Hashirama, you can't even make it onto the Six Paths List. Why are you worrying about that?]

[Fourth Raikage: There are probably fewer than 100 Six Paths-level experts, so the Six Paths List won't have that many entries.]

"Six Paths List, too bad I can't get on it!" Uchiha Obito murmured to himself. Although his strength was formidable, he was still a bit short of the Six Paths level.

However, he was sure to rank high on the Kage-level List. If he received one of the top rewards, he would have a chance to reach the Six Paths level.

[Garaga: Hahaha, I'm sure I'll make it onto the Six Paths List!]

[Kumoko: I should be in the top few of the Six Paths List, right?]

[Beerus: Our rankings on the Six Paths List should be the same as on the Pet List, since both are based on power.]

Time passed slowly, and soon the 10 minutes were up.

At this moment, the Kage-level List was announced.

Countless people focused on the list, eagerly waiting for the reveal.

[Kage-level List Rank 100: Sakumo Hatake]

[Fourth Raikage: Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, is only ranked 100th on the Kage-level List!]

[Third Tsuchikage: Sakumo Hatake did die early, so he remained at the Kage level and never reached the Super Kage level. Moreover, he didn't take any of the rewards from the previous list; he gave them all to Konoha, so his strength hasn't improved much.]

[Sakumo Hatake: Haha, I'm just happy to make the list at all. With so many Super Kage-level experts under Ye Tian's command, there's no way I could rank higher!]

[Third Hokage: Rank 100 is a bit low, though.]

[Asuma Sarutobi: As expected, if even Lord Sakumo Hatake is only ranked 100th, I have no hope at all!]

[Hiashi Hyuga: These three lists are out of our reach. We'll just have to watch!]

Not long after, the 99th place on the Kage-level List was revealed.

[Kage-level List Rank 99: Hiruzen Sarutobi]

[Fourth Raikage: Hahaha! Third Hokage, you're only ranked 99th!]

[Third Tsuchikage: If you got killed by Orochimaru, how high did you expect to rank?]

[Fourth Raikage: Someone once claimed to be the strongest Hokage, the God of Shinobi, yet now he's been slapped in the face by the Golden List with this rank. You can't deny it anymore—don't even try to claim you made a mistake or something. This is your true strength.]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: ]

[Tobirama Senju: Little monkey, your strength is a bit lacking!]

[Hashirama Senju: Yeah, you're pretty weak. You almost didn't make the Kage-level List at all!]

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt helpless. Although much of his reputation had been self-inflated, he had never imagined he would only be ranked 99th on the Kage-level List. It was truly embarrassing.

If he had ranked around 50th, no one would have said anything. But the problem was, his reputation had been blown out of proportion, and now it was causing him trouble.

Though the Third Tsuchikage ranked lower than him, at least he hadn't bragged as much.

[Third Tsuchikage: Third Hokage, you were just talking about how low my rank would be, but now we're pretty much the same!]

[Fourth Raikage: I just realized something hilarious.]

[Mei Terumi: What's so funny?]

[Fourth Raikage: The First Hokage and the Second Hokage were definitely stronger than the Third Hokage. The Fourth Hokage was also stronger than the Third, and now the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, is a Super Kage-level, clearly surpassing the Third Hokage. As for the future Seventh Hokage, he hasn't even taken office yet, but he's already at the Six Paths level. By this logic, the Third Hokage isn't the strongest Hokage; he's actually the weakest!]

[Mei Terumi: That's a good analysis, Fourth Raikage. By this reasoning, the Third Hokage really is the weakest Hokage!]

[Fourth Raikage: Not only that, but during the Third Hokage's tenure, Konoha was at its weakest point, with not a single Super Kage-level ninja. The weakest Hokage and the weakest era in history!]

[Third Hokage: Fourth Raikage, are you trying to ruin my reputation entirely?]

[Fourth Raikage: I'm just stating the facts. What did I say that's wrong? Go ahead, point out any errors.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi was at a loss for words. It seemed the Fourth Raikage was right; he really was the weakest Hokage, and during his time in office, Konoha was indeed at its weakest.

Soon after, the list of Kage-level ninjas continued to be announced, and quickly, it reached the super Kage-level powerhouses.

A bunch of unfamiliar names were revealed. Many people didn't recognize these individuals, but it was easy to guess that these super Kage-level ninjas likely belonged to underground black market, ninja guild, or mercenary guild.

However, the crowd noticed that the rankings of these super Kage-level ninjas were quite low, suggesting that their strength was at the bottom tier of the super Kage-level.

Time passed, and the Kage-level rankings gradually reached the thirtieth spot.

[Kage-level List No.30: Hidan]

[Hidan: Hahaha! I actually made it to the 30th spot on the Kage-level rankings, surpassing the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen by so much? What a surprise!]

Hidan was intentionally saying this to provoke. In reality, it was normal for him to rank this high. After all, he had obtained Conqueror's Haki and spent a year tempering himself in the Demonic Spring, greatly enhancing his physical strength.

It could be said that his current strength was already quite formidable, even among super Kage-level ninjas.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen truly couldn't show his face anymore. One unknown junior after another had surpassed him—how could he possibly be happy?

Then, the 29th place on the Kage-level rankings was announced.

[Kage-level List No.29: Kisame Hoshigaki]

[Kage-level List No.28: Kakashi]

[Kage-level List No.27: Gaara]

As the names continued to be revealed, those who had not yet been announced were all very excited. They knew they would definitely make it onto the list, and since their names hadn't been revealed yet, it meant they were ranked very high.

In truth, none of them had an exact gauge of their own strength, as the rankings were all quite close. Therefore, any ranking was possible.
