Chapter 64.2 : Ranking Starts!

Time passed slowly, and soon ten minutes passed.

At this time, the Eye Technique List was officially opened.

All shinobi with Eye techniques eagerly awaited this list rankings, while others could only serve as supporting characters.

[Hashirama Senju: The rankings are about to be announced; I'm feeling down.

[Tobirama Senju: Big brother, I'm here with you!

[Third Hokage: I won't make it to the list this time."

[Danzo: Hahaha, this time I should make it onto the list. Shisui's eyes have been transplanted to me. Unfortunately, I only have one. If we combined the two, I would rank even higher (bged)."

[Shisui Uchiha: Those are my eyes...

[Danzo: Shisui, you won't receive the reward. If your eyes were not transplanted, they will still belong to you, but I transplanted one of your eyes. As for Uchiha Itachi, I can't believe he hasn't undergone a transplant."

At this moment, the Eye Technique List was announced.

[Rank 100 on the Eye Technique List: Chen Uchiha, possesses the Three Tomoe Sharingan, with the ability to observe, copy ninjutsu, and cast illusions...]

Almost no one knew who Uchiha Chen was. He was a relatively unknown figure in Uchiha clan history, and people didn't pay much attention.

[Third Hokage: This list provides detailed information on the various Eye techniques, which helps us understand each Dojutsu technique more clearly."

[Might Guy: The Eye Technique List is likely to be dominated by Sharingan, Byakugan, Rinnegan, and the like. The real question is who will be on the list."

[Kisame Hoshigaki: I'm not interested in the lower ranks; only the top 30 on the Eye Technique List are worth noticing!"

[Orochimaru: I'm tempted to transplant a pair of Sharingans right now, but it's too late."

[Fourth Raikage: Danzo, I recall that you have several Sharingans. If you gave one to each of your people, maybe you could get more rewards."

[Danzo: Sharingan can't be transplanted so casually. If it were that easy, I wouldn't need Hashirama cells. If I could transplant them freely, I'd give one to each Root member right now."

Soon, the list continued to be announced, with mostly unknown powerhouses.

The Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and the Ōtsutsuki clan (though not the main family, but the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon) were among the listed.

At this point, Ōtsutsuki Toneri hadn't yet come of age, and the Tenseigan had not been born, making him unremarkable on the list.

After some time, the Eye Technique List reached the 50th position.

[Rank 50 on the Eye Technique List: Hizashi Hyuga, possessing the Byakugan with potent reconnaissance and support abilities. 

With a 360-degree field of vision, he can perceive the flow of Chakra in his surroundings. His telescopic eye can see into the distance, while his penetrating eye can see through objects. 

It can also perceive an opponent's meridian and acupuncture points. By channeling Chakra, he can amplify his eye's power, allowing him to see objects up to a kilometer away."

[Neji Hyuga: Father...

[Hiashi Hyuga: Brother, your eyes have only placed you at the 50th position."

[Hizashi Hyuga: Brother, this rank satisfies me, and I want to exchange my reward for Neji this time."

[Hiashi Hyuga: Alright, I promise you!

[Third Hokage: The competition is fierce; Hizashi could only secure the 50th position. It's not easy to make it to the top 30 on the Eye Technique List!"

[Fourth Raikage: Hmph, Konoha got lucky this time with so many Byakugan users in history. But the rewards of the Uchiha clan won't be going to Konoha, hahaha!"

[Terumi Mei: Yes, most of the senior Uchiha clan members have perished, and there are few of them left in the ninja world. The rewards can only belong to them."

[Orochimaru: I have a suggestion; I can locate your bodies, reanimate you, and then you can claim your rewards through a live broadcast. After that, you can choose who to give them to."

[Jiraiya: Orochimaru, you're audacious. Is this feasible?

[Third Hokage: Orochimaru, this method could work, but no one might trust you enough to let you use this method. After all, once you're reanimated and the reward is obtained, there's no way to stop you from controlling them and taking away their rewards."

[Orochimaru: Well, believe it or not, I'm just offering a solution."

[Uchiha Chen: I don't have any friends in the ninja world, so I'll keep the reward for myself."

Konohagakure.

Hokage's Office.

Tsunade was present to work on official matters and to keep an eye on a specific list.

In the Hokage's office, various ninjas had gathered, including Kakashi, Might Guy, and others. Additionally, two of Konoha's advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu, were also present.

At that moment, Mitokado Homura spoke up, saying, "Tsunade, we could research the Impure World Reincarnation technique on our own, and we could attribute the rewards from the Hyuga clan's seniors to Konoha."

Tsunade furrowed her brows and replied, "No, the Impure World Reincarnation is a Forbidden Technique, and it must not be studied."

Koharu chimed in, "Tsunade, we're only researching the Impure World Reincarnation for the sake of the Golden List's rewards. It won't disturb their souls, and we won't use them for combat. 

Impure World Reincarnation is quite complex, and if it's not done by someone like Second Hokage or Orochimaru, the reanimated person will be weak.

So we can just take the Golden List's rewards and let them rest again. You need to consider the rewards."

Kakashi voiced his objections, "While the rewards are enticing, we would have to exhume graves, extract cells from their bodies, and then revive them to claim the rewards. We can't engage in such activities."

Homura Mitokado responded with a cold tone, "For the Gold List's rewards, it's a small price to pay."

Tsunade firmly declared, "I refuse this proposal, and I won't even discuss it further. The Hyuga clan would never agree to this."

Seeing Tsunade's resolute stance, Mitokado Homura and Koharu fell silent. Ultimately, if Tsunade did not agree, they couldn't proceed with their plan, and convincing the Hyuga clan was out of the question.
