Chapter 111.2 : Beauty List (2)!
Then, the twenty-eighth place was announced.
[The twenty-eighth beauty list: Temari]
For this ranking, Temari naturally felt very satisfied. After all, it was quite a high placement.
Achieving the top 30 on any list was no easy feat!
She recalled her efforts to get on the weapon list, even going as far as lobbying to get the Samsung fan included, only for it to be eventually pushed out.
But now, she had secured the twenty-eighth spot on the beauty list, a position she wouldn't be displaced from easily.
"I should take better care of my skin to maintain this beauty," Temari thought to herself.
[Haruno Sakura: Even Temari ranks higher than me!]
[Nara Shikamaru: Sakura, it's natural that Temari ranks higher.]
[Kankuro: Yeah, Temari deserves a higher rank.]
Soon, Shizune's name also appeared on the list.
[The 27th Beauty List: Shizune]
[Shizune: Wow, I'm 27th! Tsunade-sama, I'm thrilled!]
[Tsunade: Shizune, congratulations! That's a commendable rank, and you'll surely receive a generous reward!]
[Kakashi: Shizune deserves it. This ranking suits her well.]
[Sarutobi Asuma: I wonder which rank my Kurenai Yūhi secured.]
[Kurenai Yūhi: No matter the rank, as long as I made the list, I'm content!]
[Hyūga Hinata: Sensei must have ranked quite high!]
[Aburame Shino: Indeed, our sensei is the epitome of beauty!]
[Inuzuka Kiba: Our Sensei Reigns Supreme!
[Kurenai Yūhi: A Bunch of Little Rascals]
The rankings were gradually revealed, one by one, until the twentieth spot was disclosed.
And there, to everyone's delight, Kurenai Yūhi claimed her well-deserved place.
[20th Place on the Beauty List: Kurenai Yūhi]
This placement was undeniably high, marking her as the 20th most beautiful individual in the ninja world, a feat unmatched by any other Yuhi clan member.
[Sarutobi Asuma: Damn right, my wife's a knockout! She snagged 20th place on the beauty list!]
[Hyūga Hinata: Sensei is truly remarkable!]
[Kakashi: Congratulations, Yuhika!]
[Might Guy: Way to go, Kurenai Yūhi!]
[Akamichi Choza: Hats off to Kurenai!]
Fellow ninjas who held a close bond with Kurenai stepped forward to offer their heartfelt congratulations.
[Kurenai Yūhi: Thank you, everyone!]
As the rankings continued, the nineteenth spot was revealed.
[19th Place on the Beauty List: Nohara Rin]
[Nohara Rin: Oh my, 19th place? I'm positively thrilled!]
[Kakashi: Well done, Lin!]
[Uchiha Obito: Rin will always be number one in my heart!]
[Fourth Hokage: Congratulations, Rin! That spot must come with some great perks!]
[Nohara Rin: I certainly hope so!]
As anticipation for the top ten mounted, whispers of the bountiful rewards for those ranked there circulated. For a ninja, especially one lacking in personal strength, breaking into the top ten could mean a meteoric rise to Kage-level status, or even beyond.
It was a chance to soar to new heights.
Finally, after much anticipation, the top ten were unveiled.
A hush fell over the crowd as a familiar image graced the screen.
[Uchiha Sasuke: That's Mom!]
[Uchiha Fugaku: It's my beloved Mikoto!!!!]
[Third Hokage: Uchiha Mikoto, the tenth most stunning woman!]
[Tsunade: Uchiha Mikoto was once hailed as one of the most beautiful women in Konoha, so being ranked tenth is no surprise!]
[Haruno Sakura: Is that Sasuke's mother? This is my first time seeing her, she's stunning!]
[Uchiha Mikoto: Sakura, you're beautiful too!]
For Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Mikoto's fondness was evident. After all, she was to be her son's future daughter-in-law and had given birth to a lovely granddaughter.
Though deceased, through the live broadcast, it seemed as though Mikoto still lingered among the living, her interest in the affairs of the ninja world and her son unwavering.
Haruno Sakura felt a pang of embarrassment, realizing she didn't quite measure up to her future mother-in-law's beauty.
"I can't believe Mom made it to the tenth spot on the beauty list. I hope she gets a revival card!" whispered Uchiha Itachi to himself.
If that were the case, it would alleviate some of the embarrassment he felt.
Shortly after, the ninth position was unveiled, revealing a captivating woman on the screen.
[Uzumaki Kushina: Oh, I'm ninth on the beauty list! What a joy!]
[Uzumaki Naruto: Wow, Mom, you're amazing! Ninth place!]
[Namikaze Minato: My dear, it seems our family's beauty has been acknowledged. Ninth place is quite an achievement; we may expect some handsome rewards!]
[Kakashi: Congratulations, Lady Kushina!]
[Jiraiya: Kushina, congratulations!]
[Tsunade: Congratulations, Kushina!]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Thank you, everyone!]
As time passed, anticipation built for the upcoming rankings on the beauty list.
Finally, the eighth place was revealed, showcasing Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei.
[Changjurou: Mizukage-sama, congratulations!]
[Ao: Mizukage-sama, congratulations!]
[Terumi Mei: Hahaha, yes! Eighth place on the ninja beauty list, I'm thrilled! This is my first time in the top ten; surely, the rewards will be splendid!]
[Fourth Raikage: Fifth Mizukage is truly beautiful and possesses a commendable figure. To rank eighth is quite the achievement!]
[Tsunade: Even she made it to eighth place? Golden List must be doting on her excessively!]
[Terumi Mei: Old lady Tsunade, what's that supposed to mean? My eighth place on the beauty list is entirely due to my own merits. Given my physique and appearance, it's only natural to secure such a spot!]
[Tsunade: Regardless, I'll surpass you anyway!]
[Terumi Mei: You...]
[Third Tsuchikage: Although Fifth Mizukage may find it unexpected to rank eighth, congratulations!]
[Gaara: Congratulations, Fifth Mizukage!]
[Second Mizukage: Fifth Mizukage, congratulations! You've done Kirigakure proud!]
