Chapter 156: First Place on the Merit List!
After the ranking was announced, an evaluation was also provided.
[Evaluation: He has killed numerous evil people, ended wars, and is the greatest contributor to the establishment of the Konoha Ninja Village, laying the foundation for a new era of ninjas. His total merit points are 18,700.]
[Senju Hashirama: Hahaha, I made it to sixth place on the Merit List. Not bad at all!]
[Tsunade: Grandpa, you're amazing! You actually got sixth place on the Merit List!]
[Third Hokage: Congratulations, Lord Hashirama!]
[Senju Tobirama: Congratulations, big brother!]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, you still made it to sixth place on the Merit List? Hmph, that's unfair!]
[Senju Hashirama: Haha, well, that's because you have no bottom line and slaughtered innocents!]
In any case, Senju Hashirama was very happy and quite satisfied with this ranking of sixth place on the Merit List.
Soon after, the fifth place on the Merit List was announced.
The image of Asura Ōtsutsuki appeared on the screen.
[Merit List Fifth Place: Asura Ōtsutsuki]
[Evaluation: He inherited the legacy of the Ninshu, helped countless people, saved numerous others, and killed many who deserved death. His total merit points are 19,200.]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Asura actually made it to fifth place on the Merit List? I'm not convinced! I should have a higher ranking!]
[Asura Ōtsutsuki: Indra, you probably won't even make it on the Merit List. You've killed too many innocent people and haven't contributed much!]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Impossible!]
[Tsunade: It's normal that Indra didn't make the Merit List. It's like how Kaguya Ōtsutsuki definitely won't make it either. She almost wiped out the entire ninja world and killed countless people. How could she make it on the Merit List?]
[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki: Hmph, I might just make it onto the Merit List!]
After a while, the fourth place on the Merit List was announced.
The image of Hamura Ōtsutsuki appeared on the screen.
[Merit List Fourth Place: Hamura Ōtsutsuki]
[Evaluation: He assisted Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki in stopping their mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, from enslaving the world. He saved countless people and helped establish the ninja era. His total merit points are 21,800.]
[Fourth Raikage: Hamura and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki contributed greatly to the ninja world. It's only right that they have this ranking.]
[Hamura Ōtsutsuki: I didn't expect to make it to fourth place on the Merit List, what a pleasant surprise!]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: The fourth place reward should be good. Congratulations, Hamura!]
[Hamura Ōtsutsuki: Hagoromo, your ranking must be higher than mine. You might even be first!]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: If I get first place, that would be wonderful. I've never been first on any list before!]
Not long after, the third place on the Merit List was announced.
The image of the Great Toad Sage appeared on the screen.
[Merit List Third Place: Great Toad Sage]
[Evaluation: He assisted Hagoromo and Hamura Ōtsutsuki in stopping Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, helped the ninja world through numerous crises, and is always willing to lend a hand. His total merit points are 25,800.]
[White Snake Sage: The old toad actually made it to third place on the Merit List!!!]
[Slug Sage: That's only natural. The toad always likes to involve himself in the ninja world's affairs, so his merit points are high. Unlike you, White Snake, who has probably eaten countless humans. Your merit is negative, and there's no way you'll make it on the Merit List.]
[Great Toad Sage: Third place on the Merit List, hahahaha! I'm so happy! This ranking must come with great rewards!]
[Jiraiya: Congratulations, Great Toad Sage!]
[Tsunade: Congratulations, Great Toad Sage!]
[Senju Hashirama: Congratulations, Great Toad Sage!]
Many ninjas began congratulating the Great Toad Sage.
Next, the first and second places on the Merit List were about to be revealed.
At this moment, even Ye Tian felt a bit of anticipation.
Although he didn't care much about the ranking, given his current strength, even the first-place reward wouldn't significantly enhance his abilities. However, he still wanted to be in first place.
As time passed, the second place on the Merit List was finally revealed.
Wow!
The image of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki appeared on the screen.
[Merit List Second Place: Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]
[Evaluation: Along with Hamura Ōtsutsuki, he stopped their mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, from enslaving the world, saved countless lives, founded the Ninshu, and created a peaceful era. His total merit points are 25,900.]
[Hamura Ōtsutsuki: Hagoromo, you're second? Then who's first?]
[Great Toad Sage: Hagoromo is second? I thought he'd surely be first!]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: Could the first place be Ye Tian?]
[Tsunade: Ye Tian? First on the Merit List?]
[Senju Hashirama: That's actually possible! Ye Tian commands many ninjas, and if he's made a great effort to help countless people, it's entirely possible that he's accumulated a massive amount of merit!]
[Kumoko: It has to be our master! Our master has done so many good deeds!]
[Fox Spirit Yaya: Exactly! Our master is the most benevolent person in the world. He must be first on the Merit List!]
[Beerus: Also, our master keeps issuing missions to eliminate evil people. Even though he doesn't act personally, he's indirectly accumulated a ton of merit points! That adds up!]
[Garaga: The first place on the Merit List is definitely our master!]
After a while, the first place on the Merit List was finally revealed.
The image of Ye Tian appeared on the screen.
[Merit List First Place: Ye Tian]
[Evaluation: He has saved countless impoverished and injured people, killed numerous evil ones. His total merit points are 25,908.]
[Tsunade: What? He only beat the Sage of Six Paths by 8 merit points!]
[Senju Hashirama: Just 1 more point, and the Sage of Six Paths would've been first on the Merit List!]
[Hamura Ōtsutsuki: Hagoromo, what a pity!]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: It seems I'm destined never to be first!]
[Fourth Raikage: It seems Ye Tian is a force for justice. Having done so many good deeds, he surely won't pose a threat to the ninja world.]
[Mei Terumi: Indeed, although Ye Tian is immensely powerful, he won't be like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who wanted to enslave the entire ninja world. Hopefully, Ye Tian can protect the ninja world. That would be wonderful!]
[Garaga: Hmph, why would our master protect you lot?]
"Master, you've achieved first place on the Merit List!" Kumoko exclaimed excitedly.
"Master being first is only natural!" Honghong immediately added.
"Of course!" Yaya and Rongrong quickly echoed.
"Alright, it's just first place on some list. It's nothing to celebrate!" Ye Tian said, but he was secretly pleased inside.
Thus, the entire Merit List was finally revealed, and next came the reward stage.
