Chapter 163: The Slaughter List Is Announced, and the Killing Begins!
Golden List Livestream.
[Tsunade: I wonder what this list will be. I hope I can make it!]
[Hashirama Senju: I also hope to make it. Now that I'm resurrected, naturally, I want more strength. It'd be best if I could ascend to the Immortal Path level.]
[Madara Uchiha: Hmph, no matter how much you improve, don't think you can catch up to me.]
[Hashirama Senju: Pfft, I used to beat you easily, and it's the same now. Surpassing you is a piece of cake!]
[Madara Uchiha: Heh, in our last fight, I lived and you died. Who do you think really won? The one who survives is the true winner!]
[Hashirama Senju: You faked your death! That doesn't count!]
[Fourth Raikage: Alright, everyone, stop arguing. The new list has been announced. Let's take a look.]
The name of the new list appeared on the Golden List.
[This list is the Slaughter List!]
[Note: The stronger the person you kill, the more slaughter points you gain.]
[Madara Uchiha: A Slaughter List? Haha, I've killed plenty of people. I'm sure to make the list!]
[Nine-Tails: I've also killed a lot of people over the years. I'm definitely getting on the Slaughter List!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: I'm doomed. I won't make it on the list. I haven't killed many people at all!]
[Tsunade: Does that mean Kaguya Otsutsuki has killed the most people?]
[Great Toad Sage: No, although Kaguya Otsutsuki killed many, most of them weren't strong. When she launched the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Hagoromo and Hamura stopped it, so the number of deaths wasn't as large as it could have been. She probably won't be ranked first on the Slaughter List.]
[Fourth Raikage: This time, Ye Tian won't be ranked first, right? Judging from the Merit List, he's quite the altruist and doesn't get his hands dirty. He probably hasn't killed many people, so he definitely won't make first place on the Slaughter List.]
[Nagato: But what if Ye Tian starts killing now? Couldn't he claim first place before the list is finalized?]
[Kisame Hoshigaki: Damn, we can still kill now? Increasing slaughter points that way is a great idea!]
[Kakuzu: Haha, I'll start slaughtering now. Since I'm not getting on the Merit List, why bother with merit? It's way better to climb up the Slaughter List!]
[Tsunade: Konoha shinobi are not allowed to slaughter indiscriminately. Anyone who dares will be considered a traitor to Konoha and will be captured and imprisoned immediately.]
[Fourth Raikage: Same for the shinobi of the Cloud Village.]
The leaders of the major ninja villages naturally didn't want their shinobi to slaughter ordinary people and ninjas just to make it onto a list, as that would throw the entire ninja world into chaos.
However, the members of the Akatsuki organization didn't care about such things, and neither did some of the forces in remote regions. The entire ninja world plunged into a frenzy of slaughter.
With about ten minutes left before the list rankings were announced, for many shinobi, this was the perfect opportunity to rack up slaughter points.
"Master, the ninja world is going to be in turmoil!" Kumoko said.
"To get on the list, many shinobi will indeed go mad," Ye Tian said calmly.
"Master, you probably won't make it on this list, right?" Yaya asked.
"If I wanted to get on the list, it would be quite easy," Ye Tian replied.
"Huh? But master, you haven't killed many people. How would you make it on the Slaughter List?" Kumoko asked in confusion but quickly realized, "Master, are you planning to start slaughtering?"
"If I want to get first on the Slaughter List, it wouldn't take much effort. Killing a few people and securing the top spot on both the Slaughter and Merit Lists is quite appealing," Ye Tian said. "Of course, I won't kill the innocent. I'll only target those who deserve it. I've already deduced the Eye of Virtue, which allows me to see a person's merit and sin. I'll only kill those with high sin values!"
The Eye of Virtue was a visual technique Ye Tian had developed earlier. It only required a small amount of golden light of merit to be created. With it, no one could hide their merit or sins from him.
Initially, he had planned to use the Eye of Virtue to kill sinful people and secure his spot as number one on the Merit List, but now it seemed to have another use.
Ye Tian was keen on claiming first place on every list, as he might encounter rare treasures like the Dragon Balls, which could greatly enhance his power.
In the future, he might even be able to use the Golden List to raise his strength to the level of a Grand Supreme Golden Immortal in the ninja world.
With greater strength, future ventures into other worlds would be far less dangerous.
"I'll directly activate my Bloodline Encompassing: Three Thousand Azure Threads, creating three thousand clones. They can each head to different parts of the ninja world and kill those with sin!" Ye Tian decided.
Immediately, Ye Tian activated his Three Thousand Azure Threads.
In the next moment, three thousand strands of hair transformed into three thousand clones. The densely packed clones effortlessly tore open space and disappeared.
In a small village somewhere in the ninja world.
Kakuzu and Hidan had arrived.
"This village has thousands of people. What do you think about wiping it out to gain some slaughter points?" Kakuzu suggested.
"Sounds good. Although it's just an ordinary village, killing them will still give us quite a few slaughter points!" Hidan laughed cruelly.
Without hesitation, the two charged into the village and began their massacre.
As powerful ninjas, they were terrifying to ordinary people and easily slaughtered hundreds in the blink of an eye.
Just then, the space around them tore open.
A figure, so handsome it seemed almost otherworldly, appeared, standing in the air in front of Hidan and Kakuzu.
"Lord Ye Tian!" Hidan and Kakuzu trembled in fear. They had encountered the strongest being in the ninja world, a power beyond even the Six Paths—Ye Tian, the number one in the ninja world.
"Lord Ye Tian, are you here to slaughter these ordinary people for slaughter points? We'll leave immediately and let you have them!" Hidan bowed.
"I don't kill ordinary people. I only kill those with sin," Ye Tian said indifferently.
Whoosh!!
Hidan and Kakuzu's faces changed dramatically. They immediately understood—Ye Tian wasn't here to kill the villagers; he was here to kill them!
"Lord Ye Tian, please, we'll serve you!" Hidan dropped to his knees, begging for mercy.
Kakuzu was similarly terrified, his five hearts pounding in fear.
"What use do I have for ants?" Ye Tian said casually.
With a single thought, Hidan's body shattered into countless particles and then dissipated entirely, rendering his so-called immortality useless.
Kakuzu tried to escape, but a mysterious force locked onto him, freezing him in place.
Then, he felt the power of space crushing his body into dust, making his five hearts irrelevant.
After killing Hidan and Kakuzu, Ye Tian stepped through space and disappeared again.
