Chapter 137 : Favoritism?

Golden List Live Room.

A figure materialized on the screen, his eyes bearing the Mangekyō Sharingan.

As everyone laid eyes on this figure, recognition dawned.

"The Son of the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Indra!"

[Ōtsutsuki Indra: I'm just the eighteenth on the Six Paths list?]

Ōtsutsuki Indra felt a surge of irritation. In his era, he had always believed that only his father, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, could surpass him. To find himself ranked a mere eighteenth was an affront he couldn't bear. This placement was far too low for his liking.

What vexed him even more was the fact that Ōtsutsuki Ashura's prowess had been deemed superior to his own.

He refused to accept it!

[Great Toad Sage: The Golden List designates these rankings based on the Six Paths level ninjas on ninja world, it's undoubtedly accurate. 

[Fourth Raikage: Rankings don't dictate strength!]

[Kakashi: Being 18th on the Six Paths list is quite an accomplishment!]

[Might Guy: It's satisfactory to us, but naturally breeds discontent in others.]

[Ōtsutsuki Indra: My only dissatisfaction lies in being surpassed by Ashura.

[Ōtsutsuki Ashura: Brother, I harbor no desire to outdo you, but this is how the ranking stands.

[Ōtsutsuki Indra: Heh, you must be elated at this turn of events.]

Before long, the announcement for the seventeenth position on the Six Paths list echoed through.

Hum!

The visage of Ōtsutsuki Ashura manifested on the screen.

[Ranked 17th in the Six Paths: Ōtsutsuki Ashura]

[Ōtsutsuki Ashura: I hold the seventeenth spot, just one step above your brother, indicating our strengths are closely matched.]

[Ōtsutsuki Indra: A higher ranking also implies a greater standing!]

[Great Toad Sage: I have a feeling the next one might be me!]

[White Snake Sage: Big Toad, I concur, it's likely you'll be next.]

Before long, the announcement for the sixteenth position on the Six Paths list reverberated.

At this moment, the imposing presence of the Great Toad Sage manifested on the screen.

"Indeed," he muttered, observing the rankings. "I find myself placed lower than both Katsuyu and the White Snake Sage." 

He expressed no discontent. Being behind in the ranking of summoning creatures naturally meant lagging in the contest of strength.

Yet, even ranked sixteenth on the Six Paths list, he harbored contentment. A sense of anticipation for a worthy reward pervaded his thoughts.

[Rank 16 on the Six Paths List: Great Toad Sage]

[White Snake Sage: So, you're the sixteenth on the Six Paths list!]

[Sage Katsuyu: Seems I should hold fifteenth, with the old white snake securing fourteenth place.]

[Tsunade: I wonder, where does Ōtsutsuki Kaguya stand on the Six Paths list?]

[Fourth Raikage: Yasao surely holds the apex of the Six Paths rankings, doesn't he?]

[Kakashi: Not necessarily. Consider the existence of a third list this time; the Six Paths roster might be secondary. Yasao could have transcended that level.]

[Fourth Raikage: Ah, indeed, there's a third list. Yasao might well surpass the Six Paths level. In such a scenario, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya might reign as the strongest on the Six Paths list.]

[Senju Hashirama: Speculation aside, perhaps there exist summoned creatures under Yasao's command surpassing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!]

Before long, the fifteenth position on the Six Paths list was unveiled.

A figure materialized on the screen, revealing Sage Katsuyu in her transformed state.

[Terumi Mei: Remarkable! Katsuyu Sage radiates such beauty after her transformation!]

[Tsunade: Sage Katsuyu, they're all on the beauty list because of their natural beauty!] 

[Sage Katsuyu: I made it to fifteenth!] 

[White Snake Sage: Perhaps I'm even higher than fourteenth!]

[Garaga: Old woman, who else do you think you can surpass? That's your ranking!] 

[White Snake Sage: Maybe I'll surpass you.] 

[Garaga: Hah!] 

Not long after, the Fourteenth position on the Six Paths list was announced. 

The image of the White Snake Sage appeared, clearly securing the fourteenth spot. 

[Garaga: See, still fourteenth. You're far from my level!] 

[White Snake Sage: Humph!] 

[Great Toad Sage: Next up will be the ranking of Summoning beasts under Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Hamura, and Yasao.] 

[Garaga: I'm aiming for the top ten!] 

[Kumoko: Garaga, aiming for the top ten is unrealistic. You're the weakest among us, definitely not surpassing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to make it there.] 

[Garaga: Then I'll aim for eleventh!] 

However, at that moment, the thirteenth position on the Six Paths list was revealed. 

The screen displayed Garaga's name, indicating his rank as thirteenth. 

"Whoooo, only thirteenth! What a bummer!" 

Garaga felt a bit disheartened; he had hoped for eleventh place but was off the mark. 

[Kumoko: Garaga, you're thirteenth!] 

[Beerus: Keep cultivating; there's still a chance for the top ten.] 

[Kumoko: I'm aiming for the number one spot on the Six Paths list, nothing less!] 

"The number one spot on the Six Paths list must be mine!" declared Ōtsutsuki Kaguya with an icy determination.

Though Yasao may have transcended the Six Paths level and ascended to another realm, securing the top spot on the Six Paths list this time promised an extraordinary reward. 

It would shatter the constraints binding her and elevate her to the coveted new level. Moreover, it would grant her access to realms beyond even that list.

"And don't even entertain the thought of sealing him with Yin Yang seal; I will break it," she added resolutely.

Shortly after, the announcement for the twelfth position on the Six Paths list was made.

Ōtsutsuki Hamura's figure materialized on the screen, solidifying his place as the twelfth on the list.

[Twelfth Place in Six Paths: Ōtsutsuki Hamura]

[Great Toad Sage: Hamura's prowess is formidable, but it's surprising to see it fall short compared to other Summoning beasts under Yasao's command.]

[Sage Katsuyu: It's to be expected. The Summoning beasts under Yasao's command are exceptionally fearsome; surpassing Ōtsutsuki Hamura is only natural.]

[Ōtsutsuki Hamura: I believed I could ascend into the top ten as well!]

[Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo: I wonder where I stand in the rankings?]

Soon thereafter, the eleventh spot on the Six Paths list was revealed.

Red Lotus Godzilla's image flickered onto the screen, claiming the eleventh position.

[Red Lotus: I barely missed the top ten!]

[Fox Demon Honghong: Red Lotus Godzilla, you've regressed so much lately; you couldn't even break into the top ten. You used to outshine us!]

[Red Lotus Godzilla: Isn't it because the master favors you!"

[Fox Demon Yaya: It seems Red Lotus Godzilla is envious. If you were a woman, the master would favor you too!]

[Red Lotus: Oh, forget it! I'm content with this ranking. Change the subject.]

Now, it was time to unveil the top ten of the Six Paths list.
