Chapter 2:The Gold List Begins!

Welcome everyone to the first major Gold List!

We ask that everyone pay attention to the following rules that will be stated. Firstly, anyone who has chakra or has had it in life is eligible to send messages through the Gold List chat.

Now we will explain how the showcases will work. First, a chart of the skills of those involved in the fight will be shown. The chart will display general information about the individuals and their experience in missions.

After that, the Status will be shown, which is divided into 8 main categories that sum up to give the overall average of the ninja. The categories are Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Hand Seals. The Gold List will also show 3 additional secondary categories of the Status, which indirectly affect the 8 main categories.

For everyone participating for the first time, we would like to give a more detailed view of what the Gold List is. This is a unique event that celebrates the skills and achievements of the most distinguished ninjas. Whether you are a veteran of many battles or a young prodigy.

After the chart is shown, what led up to the main fight will be displayed, such as examples of fights with subordinates or even the first round between the showcased individuals. The idea is to provide a complete view of the context and circumstances that led to the main fight.

After showing everything that triggered the main fight, the showcase of the list will finally begin. At this stage, we will highlight the main events, techniques used, and combat strategy of each involved ninja.

Throughout the event, viewers will be encouraged to participate actively through the Gold List chat. Here, you will be able to share your opinions, ask questions, and even answer questions posed by the list. Depending on the answers, participants may earn rewards. We want this event to be as interactive as possible, allowing the ninja community to engage and celebrate together. Additionally, those involved in the showcased fights will receive their exclusive rewards, recognizing their skills and contributions to the event.

Land of Fire, Konohagakure

After all the information was displayed, the entire Konoha council was in shock.

"This is bad. There will definitely be Konoha ninjas involved. This means their weaknesses will also be exposed," said Hiruzen after analyzing the entire situation.

"But we also have to look on the bright side. If we can answer the questions correctly, we will earn rewards," said Shikaku Nara, highlighting a positive point to the Hokage.

The room was filled with murmurs. The main advisors, Danzou, Koharu, and Homura, were heatedly discussing the implications of the Gold List showcases. Some were worried about security and the possibility of sensitive information being revealed, while others saw a unique opportunity to improve and learn from the presented data.

Danzou, with his imposing stance, was the first to speak: "We cannot allow our weaknesses to be exploited. We need a plan to minimize any potential damage. We will use this information to strengthen our defenses and strategies."

Koharu, with a worried expression, added: "I agree with Danzou. We must ensure that our weaknesses are not only exposed but also that we use this knowledge to create effective counter-strategies. This could be an advantage, but only if we know how to use it."

Homura, always balanced, commented: "We also need to consider that the rewards from the questions could provide us with valuable resources. We need a balanced approach to maximize our gains and minimize the risks."

The council decided that the best approach would be to divide their attention. One part of the council would focus on analyzing the revealed weaknesses to develop counter-strategies, while another part would be dedicated to answering the Gold List questions correctly to obtain valuable rewards.

Danzou took the lead in developing defensive strategies. "We will form a team dedicated to identifying and correcting our vulnerabilities. We need to be prepared for any eventuality."

Koharu and Homura coordinated the team responsible for answering the Gold List questions. They were determined to formulate precise answers to ensure rewards and, thus, strengthen Konoha's position.

Additionally, the Gold List was seen as a golden opportunity for training. The jounins and anbu around Konoha began preparing training sessions based on the revealed information, creating combat simulations.

At the end of the meeting, the Konoha council was more united and determined than ever. They knew that the Gold List brought both risks and opportunities and were ready to face any challenge that arose. The determination to protect Konoha and strengthen its ninjas was stronger than ever.

"Let's turn this situation to our advantage," declared Danzou, ending the meeting with a confident look. "Each of us must be vigilant and prepared to act. The future of Konoha depends on our wisdom and courage."

Land of Lightning, Kumogakure

After the display of information on the Gold List, the reaction in Kumogakure was one of great agitation. Raikage A called an emergency meeting with his main allies to discuss the implications of the revelations.

We need to assess the impact on our strategies and the safety of our ninjas. Our response must be immediate and efficient."

He looked at Mabui, his trusted assistant, and continued: "Mabui, organize a team to analyze the data and identify any possible vulnerabilities in our strategies. We cannot allow our weaknesses to be exploited."

Killer Bee, Raikage A's brother, was more relaxed and rhymed in a simple and laid-back manner: "Yoo! This is heavy, but we'll stay focused. We'll use this information to strengthen ourselves and not let them take us down. Let's answer the questions and earn those rewards."

He turned to Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails' Jinchuriki, with a confident smile: "Yugito, let's ramp up our training. We need to be ready for any challenge that comes our way and show our strength. We won't let anything stop us, Bakayarō! Konoyarō!"

Yugito Nii, with her serious and focused expression, replied: "I agree. We need to use this situation to improve. I'll double my training and ensure the Two-Tails is under full control. We cannot underestimate what's coming."

Mabui, the Raikage's assistant, quickly began organizing the team to handle the implications of the revelations. She gathered the data and started working on a detailed analysis, preparing reports and strategies to mitigate any possible negative impact.

"I will coordinate the data analysis and prepare recommendations for the Raikage and the team. We need to stay one step ahead and ensure our village remains strong and secure."

"Let's use this opportunity to strengthen ourselves and prepare for any challenge," said Raikage A, ending the meeting with a determined look. "Kumogakure is a powerful village, and we will show everyone what it really means to be a ninja of the Land of Lightning."

Land of Water, Kirigakure

After the display of information on the Gold List, the reaction in Kirigakure was one of great unease. The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, called an urgent meeting with her main advisors and allies to discuss the implications of the revelations.

Mei Terumi, known for her strong and beautiful presence, started the meeting with a serious expression: "The information revealed on the Gold List is concerning. We need to carefully analyze the impact on our strategies and the safety of our village. We cannot allow these revelations to compromise our position."

She looked at Chojuro, her assistant and trusted ally, and continued: "Chojuro, you must help analyze the information and assess how it might affect our operations. We need to ensure that our forces are prepared for any situation."

Chojuro, with a focused expression, replied: "Understood, Mizukage. I will start reviewing the information and work with our team to identify any possible threat or vulnerability. Let's ensure Kirigakure is fully prepared."

Ao, one of Mei's advisors, also expressed his concern: "These revelations could affect not only our security but also our political position. We need a thorough analysis to ensure that our weaknesses are not exploited. I will focus on understanding the political impact of this information."

Léa, Mei's bodyguard, was attentive and concerned about the safety of the Mizukage and the village. "Mizukage, we will ensure that your security is reinforced. I will organize an additional security team and ensure that all protection protocols are in place."

"Let's use this situation to strengthen ourselves," Mei stated, ending the meeting with determination. "Kirigakure is a powerful village, and we must show that we are capable of facing any challenges that arise."

We must carefully analyze how this might impact our operations and ensure that our position is not compromised."

He looked at Akatsuchi, his loyal bodyguard, and continued: "Akatsuchi, I need you to ensure that our defenses are prepared for any potential threats. We cannot allow our vulnerabilities to be exploited."

Akatsuchi, with a serious and determined demeanor, replied: "Understood, Tsuchikage. I will work on strengthening our defenses and preparing our forces for any situation that might arise."

Tsuchikage Onoki also turned to his family members, Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi, who were key figures in Iwagakure. "Kitsuchi, Kurotsuchi, I need you both to help with analyzing the information and preparing strategies to address any possible vulnerabilities. We must act quickly and efficiently."

Kurotsuchi, with her usual determination, responded: "I will work on developing strategies to address any potential threats. We need to stay ahead and ensure that Iwagakure remains strong."

"Let's use this situation to our advantage," said Tsuchikage Onoki, ending the meeting with a resolute look. "Iwagakure is a powerful village, and we will show that we are capable of facing any challenge that comes our way."

Land of Wind, Sunagakure

After the display of information on the Gold List, the reaction in Sunagakure was one of great concern. The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, called a meeting with the main members of the Council and allies to discuss the implications of the revelations.

Rasa, known for his firm stance and strategic leadership, began the meeting with a grave expression: "The information revealed on the Gold List could have a significant impact on our operations and security. We need to analyze this information in detail to ensure that our strategies are adjusted as necessary."

He looked at Baki and Chiyo, members of the Council, and continued: "Baki, Chiyo, let's review our plans and procedures. We need to identify any potential vulnerabilities and ensure that our village is well-prepared for any adverse situation."

I will assist in reviewing the strategies and ensuring that all necessary measures are implemented. Experience teaches us to anticipate and face challenges effectively."

"Let's turn these revelations into a strategic advantage," declared Rasa, ending the meeting with a resolute look.

Gold List Chat

After the preliminary display of information and the announcement that the Gold List will begin soon, the deceased ninjas started interacting in the chat, and their reactions were widely seen by everyone.

"I see that the Gold List is about to begin. It's fascinating to follow the evolution of the ninja world, even after my departure. I hope everyone uses the forthcoming information to promote peace and cooperation among the villages." Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, expressed his curiosity and enthusiasm.

"We are about to see a detailed analysis of the current ninjas' skills and strategies. It is important that everyone be prepared for what is to come and use this information to improve their own techniques and strategies." Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, made an analytical comment.

"Finally, we will see how the villages are faring. These revelations could shift the balance of power. I'm eager to see how the current leaders will react and how they will use this information to their advantage." Madara Uchiha, with his characteristic style, commented.

"We are about to see a detailed overview of today's ninjas' capabilities. This is an opportunity to reflect on the evolution of skills and how the ninja world continues to develop. I hope everyone is ready for what's to come." Izuna Uchiha, Madara's brother, offered his reflections.

"The Gold List promises to bring valuable information about current ninjas. It's crucial that everyone uses these revelations to strengthen themselves and adjust their strategies. Information is a powerful tool, and its correct use can make all the difference." Shisui Uchiha, with his strategic vision, made a thoughtful comment.

And then, after so much anticipation, the Gold List shone and displayed the first fight.

A large screen appeared next to the chat and showed a split image. On the left side were four individuals: three children and an adult.

The adult was relatively tall, with spiky silver hair and dark eyes. He wore the standard Konoha forces attire, consisting of an elite Konoha shinobi vest, dark blue pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. Additionally, he wore short, fingerless gloves with metal plates over them. His forehead protector was tilted to the left, covering his left eye, and a mask concealed the entire right side of his face except for the right eye. He was in an attacking stance, with his right hand covered in electricity, ready to perform a jutsu.

The boy with light skin had onyx eyes and chin-length black hair, spiked at the back with bangs. His outfit consisted of the traditional Uchiha attire: a navy blue short-sleeve shirt with a high collar and the Uchiha symbol on the back, as well as white arm warmers and white shorts. He also wore a forehead protector with a blue band and the Konoha symbol on the metal plate. The boy was in an attacking stance, holding a kunai.

The other boy had blue eyes and spiky blonde hair. His most notable physical features were the whisker marks on his face and his short stature. He wore an orange jacket with a blue area above the shoulders and around the waist, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, a red Uzumaki swirl emblem on the back, a large white collar, orange pants with a shuriken pouch attached to the right knee, blue sandals, and a forehead protector. He was making a hand sign for a jutsu of clones, with a confident smile on his face.

The girl had bright pink hair, large green eyes, and light skin. She wore a red qipao dress with white circular patterns, with short sleeves and a zipper, as well as tight dark green shorts, standard ninja sandals, and a forehead protector that she used to accentuate her face. Unlike the others, she was in a defensive stance, holding a kunai with a nervous expression.

On the other side were two figures, an adult man and a boy, apparently older than the children on the left side.

The man was tall and muscular, with pale skin, short spiky black hair, and brown eyes with small eyebrows. He wore bandages on his face, covering the lower half like a mask. His attire consisted of a sleeveless black shirt, matching pants, a belt, and striped arm and leg warmers. He was in an attacking stance, holding one of the seven swords of the mist, the Kubikiribouchou (Decapitating Carving Knife).

The boy wore a short blue kimono with white edges, a brown obi around his waist, and light brown sandals with matching straps. His long hair was tied in a white bun, with two loose curls framing his face and secured with metal hairpins at the tips. He also wore a black forehead protector with the Kirigakure symbol and a hunter-nin mask over the protector: a white mask with eye holes, thin and curved with a wavy red design where the mouth would be, as well as the Kirigakure symbol on the forehead.

Right in the center of the image, between the two teams, a message appeared:

"Team 7 VS Zabuza and Haku: The Battle on the Great Naruto Bridge!"

The large screen shone brightly, preparing everyone for the full revelation of the first fight, as the spectators braced themselves to see the details and the action that would follow.
