Chapter 48 : Son Gokū?

"If there's truly a fox demon sage region in the ninja world, then this Fox Demon Sage Region is incredibly scary!" remarked the White Snake Sage.

Ryūchi Cave, being secluded from the world, had no intentions of offending the Holy Land of the Demon Fox. 

She was only apprehensive but not fearful of any repercussions. Besides, with the presence of the Golden List, her powers would continue to grow, possibly surpassing her future adversaries.

Before long, the sixth position on the pet list was unveiled.

[Sixth Place on the Pet List: Honghong, the Fox Demon, Owner: Yasao]

[White Snake Sage: As expected, Yasao is the owner of the sixth ranked pet again!]

[Fourth Raikage: Yasao is so lucky to have discovered such a sacred place in the ninja world. If I were to find it, perhaps I'd gain fame as well!]

[Terumi Mei: Hehe, even if you discover it, you won't get recognized. I'm a beautiful woman, and they are beautiful women too. Maybe it's easier for them to be acknowledged.]

[Fourth Raikage: What does that have to do with gender? Haven't you seen that Yasao is a man? He has been acknowledged, hasn't he?]

[Terumi Mei: How can you prove that Yasao is a man? The person has always worn a mask. Perhaps it's a woman?]

[Garaga: Terumi Mei, don't speak nonsense. My master is the most handsome man in the world!]

[Terumi Mei: Handsome? Does he lack admirers?]

[Tsunade: Terumi Mei, I think you're just unlucky in love, so you're trying to reverse it.]

[Terumi Mei: Tsunade, I'm single, what's wrong with asking normally?]

[Yaya: Get lost, our master doesn't need fans like you!]

[Terumi Mei: What did you say?]

[Yaya: Say another word, and you're out!]

[Terumi Mei: ...]

Terumi Mei didn't dare to argue with Yaya, for they held significant power and countermeasure over Kirigakure's ninja. Offending her could bring a major crisis to the village.

At that moment, the live broadcast room displayed Fox Demon Honghong.

Fox Demon Honghong's appearance was captivating, radiating a fiery allure that contrasted with Yaya's icy demeanor and seemingly calm but fierce presence.

Beneath her image, there was an introduction.

[Fox Demon Honghong: A Nine-Tailed Red Fox, proficient in Senjutsu and great power. Possesses hands capable of breaking all ninjutsu, bloodline limits, and any weapon. Can even seize souls with her hands, annihilating them. Her hands are impervious to physical, energy, and mental attacks.]

This revelation left everyone astounded.

[Fourth Raikage: This... is too terrifying! Her hands can shatter any jutsu, weapon, and even snatch souls?]

[Orochimaru: How can such hands exist in this world?]

[Senju Hashirama: Could her bare hands crush Madara's Susanoo effortlessly?]

[Senju Tobirama: Madara's Susanoo should pose no threat to her. After all, her strength ranks sixth on the pet list. You can imagine her immense offensive capability, combined with her ability to destroy everything barehanded, destroying Madara's Susanoo is no big deal.]

[Uchiha Itachi: It seems my Sword of Totsuka and ninjutsu may not affect her if she can block them with her bare hands...]

"She can seize souls with her bare hands. If I encounter her, my soul might be captured effortlessly. She's a fearsome fox! Compared to her, the Nine Tails is nothing!" Orochimaru muttered in secret.

He resolved to flee immediately if he ever encountered this fox demon woman. If escape was impossible, he'd beg for mercy, lest he met his demise.

In the meantime, even the Sage of Six Paths was perturbed.

"This woman, who can snatch souls with her hands, poses a genuine threat to me?" The Sage of Six Paths pondered.

Currently, he existed only as a soul, and while his power wasn't insignificant, it was still vulnerable to the Fox Demon Honghong. 

If he ever confronted her, he might not be able to utilize his abilities effectively. Additionally, her hands could nullify all spells and weapons, which was truly terrifying.

"This woman's hands might even capture the Truth-Seeking Balls with ease!" the Sage of Six Paths thought.

[Nara Shikamaru: Her strength may revolve around her hands, but that doesn't necessarily make her an unstoppable force. Avoiding her hands and targeting her weaknesses could be an effective strategy. Additionally, bypassing her hands might inflict harm upon her.]

[Third Hokage: Shikamaru has a point. If one can evade her hands, they might still have a chance to strike. Furthermore, illusion-based attacks might incapacitate her, as her hands can only protect a specific area in front of her, leaving her vulnerable to all-encompassing illusions.]

[Uchiha Madara: When it comes to illusion attacks, she may be defenseless. Her hands can only guard a limited space in front of her, making her susceptible to illusions. We shouldn't fear her too much; by exploiting her weaknesses, we can devise a way to defeat her...]

"These people are actually analyzing the elder sister's weaknesses?" Rongrong chuckled. "They must not realize that our elder sister possesses more than just a powerful pair of hands, right?"

"No, their understanding is limited. They can't fathom the true extent of the elder sister's power!" Yaya responded upon her return.

Rongrong added, "In terms of strength, the elder sister is on par with those five individuals, and in a few years, who knows who'll be stronger. Garaga, wouldn't you agree?"

Garaga chuckled nervously and replied, "Yes, Sister Rongrong, you're absolutely right."

He didn't dare to offend anyone and could only nod his head, but if the five individuals were to ask him the same question, he'd provide a different response.

At this moment, many ninja were still awestruck by the power of the three fox demon sisters.

Just then, the fifth position on the pet list was announced.

[Fifth Place on the Pet List: Sun Wukong Owner: Yasao]

[One Tail: Damn, Four Tails, how did you become fifth on the list? Amazing!]

[Nine Tails: Something's wrong with this list. Four Tails, making it to the fifth position? Unbelievable!]

[Three Tails: How did Four Tails become Yasao's pet?]

[Four Tails: This is the greatest injustice in the world! Where do I fit in this picture? If I can make it to the fifth position on the pet list, I'll take vengeance! Anyone who dares to oppose me, beware! This is clearly another summoned beast with the same name!]

[Nine Tails: Same name? That explains it. I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to tease Four Tails anymore!]

[One Tail: Crisis averted, my third spot among the nine-tailed beasts remains intact!]

[Eight Tails: Four Tails, you can't get away with this! Compare yourself to others first before bragging!]

A picture of Sun Wukong was displayed in the live broadcast room, confirming that it wasn't Four Tails as initially believed. Their appearances were strikingly different.

["Son Goku" is the Japanese name for the character, which is primarily associated with the Japanese manga and anime series "Dragon Ball." In this series, Son Goku is a Saiyan warrior who possesses incredible strength and is the main protagonist.

"Sun Wukong" is the Chinese name for the same character and is more commonly known as the Monkey King. Sun Wukong is a legendary figure from Chinese folklore and is a central character in the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West." He is known for his supernatural abilities and mischievous nature.

The character was adapted and renamed when the story of the Monkey King was introduced to Japan, leading to the name "Son Goku" in Japanese media like "Dragon Ball." While the names are different, they refer to the same legendary character with similar characteristics in their respective cultural]
