Chapter 175: A Potential List Greatly Affected by Age!
[Potential List, 100th Place: Hidan]
When this ranking was announced, Hidan was not pleased at all.
[Hidan: I'm not that old, yet my ranking is so low, barely making it onto the potential list?]
[Fourth Raikage: It's mainly because Ye Tian has too many super Kage-level subordinates, and some of them have even reached the Six Paths level. Their ages might not be that high, so their potential is considered high too!]
[Tsunade: The potential requirements are too high this time. I don't even know if I can make it onto the potential list!]
[Mei Terumi: Tsunade, although you've reached the Six Paths level, you are indeed a bit older, so it's unlikely you'll make the potential list!]
[Kakuzu: Hidan, it's good enough that you made it onto the potential list. I doubt I can make it. After all, I'm much older, and my current strength isn't as good as yours!]
[Hidan: It's meaningless. The reward for being 100th on the potential list is negligible to me now, and it's not like I can get the treasure that would revive me!]
Soon, the 99th place on the potential list was announced.
[Potential List, 99th Place: Jiraiya]
Jiraiya's current strength is quite decent, but unfortunately, his age is a disadvantage. If his strength wasn't strong enough, he might not have even made it onto the list.
However, Jiraiya didn't mind. He was laid-back and didn't care about his ranking at all.
After a while, the potential list announced up to the 90th place.
This time, Tsunade made it onto the list.
[Potential List, 90th Place: Tsunade]
[Tsunade: Not bad, at least I made the list!]
[Jiraiya: As long as you make the list, at least there's a reward!]
[Hashirama Senju: Not bad, making it onto the potential list is already quite good, considering many spots have been taken by Ye Tian's subordinates. For someone like me, although I made it onto the Six Paths list, I doubt I can make the potential list now. The rules of this list are really disadvantageous to those of us who died and were resurrected, but there's nothing we can do about it.]
[Madara Uchiha: These rules are just unfair.]
[Obito Uchiha: What's unfair about it? The rules of the Golden List are perfectly fair.]
[Madara Uchiha: Obito, you're asking for it!]
[Obito Uchiha: Maybe this time, I'll rank higher and get some great rewards, and my strength will surpass yours!]
[Madara Uchiha: Keep dreaming!]
As time passed, the rankings on the potential list were announced one by one, causing a lot of tension each time.
However, as it progressed, it became almost certain that those who had been dead for a long time could not make the list. Even the likes of the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't make it.
Soon, the list reached the top 30.
[Potential List, 30th Place: Minato Namikaze]
Minato, who is already at the Six Paths level, is not that old, but still only ranked 30th. After all, he's not that young anymore.
If not for reaching the Six Paths level, he might not have made the potential list at all.
In fact, the potential of those in the lower ranks is very close, and a small difference can cause a big change in rankings.
[Naruto Uzumaki: Dad, you're awesome! You made it to 30th place on the potential list!]
[Kakashi: Congratulations, Sensei!]
[Fourth Hokage: Not bad, I thought I wouldn't make the potential list!]
[Third Hokage: Congratulations, Minato!]
[Kushina Uzumaki: My husband is the best!]
Shortly after, Kakashi also made it onto the list.
This time, Kakashi ranked 22nd on the potential list.
[Potential List, 22nd Place: Kakashi]
Kakashi is quite a bit younger than Minato and has decent strength, but he only managed to rank 22nd.
[Tsunade: I thought Kakashi could make it into the top 20 of the potential list.]
[Kakashi: I'm still a bit old. Nowadays, these young folks are all very strong. Some are close to the Six Paths level, even if they haven't reached it, so their rankings are naturally higher than mine.]
[Hashirama Senju: Indeed, judging by this potential list, age plays a significant role!]
[Fourth Raikage: True, I'm ranked near the bottom. I suspect that the number one on the potential list might not even be Ye Tian. Ye Tian should be quite old, right? Although he's very powerful, his subordinates aren't weak either. If they are younger and have reached the Sage level, their potential might be higher.]
[Kumoko: The master will definitely be number one!]
[Fox Spirit Yaya: Absolutely, the master will definitely be number one. What do you guys know?]
Ye Tian's subordinates were all confident that he would be number one on the potential list, but many ninjas did not believe it.
After all, Ye Tian's age has always been a mystery. Many believed he was very old.
Of course, they had no evidence. As for the claims of Kumoko and others, they simply didn't believe them.
Subsequently, the 21st place on the potential list was announced.
This time, it was Might Guy who made it onto the list.
[Potential List, 21st Place: Might Guy]
Might Guy is significantly stronger than Kakashi and has the Eight Gates technique as his trump card, but he still only ranked one place higher.
[Kakashi: I didn't expect Guy to be only 21st on the potential list.]
[Fourth Hokage: I really thought Guy could make it into the top 20!]
[Tsunade: Age plays too significant a role!]
[Hashirama Senju: Indeed, age plays too significant a role. For someone like me, unless I reach the Immortal Path level, I probably won't make the potential list!]
Next, the potential list reached the top 20.
[Potential List, 20th Place: Neji Hyuga]
Neji Hyuga is currently solidly at the super Kage level. Although he hasn't had much good fortune in recent years and his strength has grown slowly, he still made it securely into the top 20.
[Tenten: Congratulations, Neji, for making 20th place on the potential list!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Not bad, Neji!]
[Hinata Hyuga: Congratulations, Neji-nii-san.]
[Hiashi Hyuga: Neji, well done. I'm proud of you!]
[Neji Hyuga: I'm very happy to have made it to 20th place on the potential list!]
Neji was genuinely happy. After all, many of those who made the potential list have strength that far exceeds his, but thanks to his age advantage, he managed to secure the 20th spot.
It must be said that being young is indeed an advantage!
Soon after, Gaara also made it onto the list.
[Potential List, 19th Place: Gaara]
When Gaara was ranked 19th on the potential list, many ninjas from Sunagakure were overjoyed and cheered loudly.
Considering how fierce the competition was this time, Gaara making it to the 19th place was already quite an achievement!
At this moment, Gaara was also very satisfied with his ranking.
