Chapter 53: Mini Ranking and Rewards.

- ranking list will be announced now.

#Rank 10 - Glass beast, Ikorog.

Blue Pearl - 42 pcs.

"Huh!? There is beast in this world?" Zokuto was surprised that a beast from this place could appear on the ranking list. Did the beast like to collect these blue stone?

#Rank 9 - Glass Yeti, Gandur.

Blue Pearl - 50 pcs.

Another citizen of the Glass World. With that, Zokuto confirmed that there are some inhabitants in this world.

#Rank 8 - Shinju level Bijuu, Chiro.

Blue Pearl - 77 pcs.

# Rank 7 - Shinju level Bijuu, Saya.

Blue Pearl - 79 pcs

# Rank 6 - Shinju level Bijuu, Mora.

Blue Pearl - 88 pcs.

"Er...this is also possible?" Zokuto thought that when his Bijuus collected those blue stones, it will directly be deemed as his. Too bad his speculation is wrong. Those beast also get their own share.

"Eh!? I also got ranked?" Saya on the side was stunned, before feeling a bit dejected. "If I knew this, I would have collected even more Blue Pearl."

"Look papa. I also got listed in the ranking." Chiro jumped up excitedly, while pointing at the golden screen."

"Good for you Chiro." Zokuto once again patted Chiro's head.

In ninja World.

"What? There are many Shinju listed in the ranking?"

All the Otsutsuki felt incredulous when they saw those list. However, they didn't know the location of these Shinjus. If they knew, they would have long headed there and take ownership of these Shinjus.

Shinju is the name of the God Tree. It's other name is Jyuubi, the ten tailed Bijuu. Just by knowing it's name, one could already tell that it's a creature who have planetary level of power. Therefore, it's no wonder that these Otsutsukis got worked up when they saw the Shinjus in the ranks.

On the other hand, Naruto and the other youngsters who were still running were stunned when they saw those name on the ranking list.

"Is not that Zokuto's Bijuus?" Naruto was the first to comment in disbelief.

"You are right. Those are the names of Sensei's Bijuus." Kubo nodded in agreement.

"Were not they always staying in Zokuto's body?" Naruto asked again.

"That mean...sensei is alive?" Kara who was being silent all this time suddenly spoke out.

"That must be the case." Neji agreed that Zokuto is still alive.

"Waah...Sensei is alive. He is...Sniff he is alive..I thought he died...huhu..." Kara burst in tears of happiness. Kubo, Jun and Mirin also felt their tears fall out of their eyes.

In Konoha, they saw first hand on how Zokuto and his brides got swallowed by those dark void. At that time Kara almost rushed out to save him. If not because Kubo and Jun restrained her, she would have long been killed by those Otsutsukis.

Now that they saw Zokuto's Bijuu got in the rank, they know what that mean. He is alive! They cannot help but felt relieved in their heart.

#Rank 5 - Sage of Six Path, Zokuto.

Blue Pearl - 387 pcs.

"It's sensei!"

The moment the announcement come out, Kubo and the others cannot help but shout out. Now, they are sure that their sensei is really alive.

On Mount Myoboku, everyone who escaped from Konoha were relieved when they saw Zokuto's name comes out in the rank.

"What the ancestor said really is true. Zokuto might have his own way to come out of that void." Hashirama said, remembering what Hagoromo said before. "On the other hand, those Blue Pearl seems to only exist inside that void...hold on. Are the golden screen following that kid?"

Right then, everyone was stunned when they thought of what Hashirama just said. If the blue stone exist only in that place, and Zokuto coincidentally entered there, then the event regarding collecting those Blue Pearl is really organised specifically for him. That mean, the golden screen is doing some favor for Zokuto.

"Does it mean, the golden screen is trying to protect Zokuto?" Minato also felt shocked with this finding.

"As expected of Deity-san. The Almighty One is favoring him. He will certainly come out of that place." Said Hagoromo.

"Another choose one." At this time, Gamamaru also spoke up. Right now, Gamamaru was beside Hagoromo. Once he knew Hagoromo is in Mount Myoboku, he comes out and met the ancestor.

#Rank 4 - Shinju level Bijuu, Nero.

Blue Pearl - 388 pcs

#Rank 3 - Shinju level Bijuu, Gurr.

Blue Pearl - 422 pcs

#Rank 2 - Shinju level Bijuu, Kurama.

Blue Pearl - 450 pcs.

"Eh!? Why are all of Zokuto's Bijuu got listed in the rank?"

At first, Naruto thought that only some of Zokuto's Bijuu got listed. Now however, all of them already come out in the rank.

"Hei guys, look. It said that Sensei's Bijuu are all a Shinju level Bijuu." Out of curiosity, Jun pointed out the name of Zokuto's Bijuus.

"Shinju!? as in ten tailed Bijuu?" Kubo was stunned when he found out the truth behind Zokuto's Bijuus. "That's mean, all this time Sensei got..."

"Six Jyuubi level Bijuu!!!"

"Oh my God! That is insane!"

"Sensei is already a Safe of Six Path. With those six Bijuu, what is Sensei's power?"

"That mean he is insanely powerful."

"Sensei is insane."

"How dare you say Sensei is insane!"

Kubo earned himself some beating from Kara. The others just sweated, looking at him getting beaten. Deep inside they thought, 'you should choose your words wisely'.

"If all of them is already in the list, who is going to be the first in the ranking?" Kroku was curious to whom did the first rank belong to.

#Rank 1 - Golden Crow King, Kuraku.

Blue Pearl - 1,025,592 pcs.

"What the f@#k!? That's not true right?"

"How did he got that much of Blue Pearl?"

"Is he a collector or something?"

"You should be correct. Look at his name."

As Naruto and the others glanced at the name, the Instantly understood. Crow is a bird that like to collect something shiny. So, it's understandable that he got that many collection.

"Huh!?"

When everyone saw the rewards listed by the golden screen, they were greatly shocked. Such rewards is really desired by all. Who is going to refuse if he was rewarded with long life? there is none. Every living being wanted to live longer.

However, not everyone can get the rewards. Other than the one got listed in the ranking, the others just felt longing and disappointment.

After announcing the rewards, the golden screen dispersed into a golden light, and eventually disappeared into the bright sky.

After the golden screen disappeared, Naruto and the others continued to travel again. Suddenly, Kimimaro's who was in the lead frowned and halted everyone from advancing further.

Boom!

Right after all of them stopped, something fall from the sky. It swiftly landed with an explosive impact, at the place not too far in front of the youngsters. The impact caused many trees, stones and soils to get blasted away from the point impact.

Everyone tried their best to avoid those flying debris, and stabilized themselves, while alertly looking at the thing that fall in front of them.

After some time, the debris got cleared out. At the place of the landing, an Otsutsuki was standing calmly. He was gazing at the direction of the youngsters.

"Finally, I managed to catch up to you all, rats." Ginju smirked as he said coldly to Naruto in his friends. He then looked at Naruto and Neji, and said, "kids, you won't be able to outrun me this time."

"That's right. I won't let you escape for the second time." Not too far from the back of the youngsters, Kashu appeared. "Ginju, let's do it."

Instantly, both Ginju and Kashu opened up their hands. From each of their hand, a slit was opened, and an eye with nine tomoe was activated. Those eyes released a green chakra, which hastily spread to the surrounding area.

"Khalic Space!"

Both Ginju and Kashu voiced out the jutsu. After that, those green chakra formed a spherical space that trapped the youngsters, together with the two Otsutsuki.

"Crap! They are trying to trap us." Kimimaro was the first to react. He summoned a barrage of bones and threw it towards those barrier that was formed from those green chakra. The bones managed to hit the green barrier. However, it did not do any damage on it.

"Let me break those barrier. Sand Spades!"

Kroku also launched a sand thrust. Like the bones thrown by Kimimaro, it also didn't manage to break the green wall.

"It's futile." Ginju said, looking disdainfully at the youngsters attack. "Right now, we are already in a different space."

"He is right." Kashu also smirked when he looked at those youngsters, trying their best to hit the barrier. "Even if you break the barrier, you will only saw void after the barrier."

Naruto and the others stopped attacking the green wall when they heard Kashu. If what he said is true, they are really got trapped in this place.

"The only way for you all to come out from this space is to defeat us." Kashu continued. "Ah, there is the option for you to beg us to let you all out. Well, that's option is certainly impossible!"

Instantly, Ginju and Kashu charged towards the young group.

Seeing the two swiftly approaching, everyone activated their best jutsu to fight against the two Otsutsuki.

"Golden Sand Coffin!"

"Hyoton Jutsu: Ice Burial!"

Gaara transformed into a one tailed Bijuu. After that, he tried to bury Ginju with his golden sand. On the other hand, Haku used his hyoton ability to bury Kashu inside a snow, and froze him to death.

"Did we get them?"

However, those sands and snow were dispersed in a matter of a seconds. At this time, Kashu and Ginju were each holding two black rods.

Ginju then rised both of his hands. The rods in his hands broke down, and changed into a black liquid. After that it entered into his left and right eyes simultaneously.

"Argh!!"

The moment those liquid entered his eyes, he screamed in pain.

"Huh? What is he trying to do? Urgh! That is really painful, right?" Kubo almost couldn't look at the painful scene in front of him. The guy literally used the rods to stabs his own eyes.

A moment later both the black liquid floated out of Ginju's eyes sockets, and Ginju closed his eyelids which no longer has eye balls.

"Tri-phase Incarnate!"

Right after that, those two black liquid transformed into two entities who resembled Ginju, but with a black colours. Together with Ginju, a slit appeared in their forehead, and an eye appeared to be the third eye. It seems like those two entities used Ginju's eyes as their third eyes.

"You are being cruel to yourself once again Ginju." Kashu sighed when he saw the process of Ginju activating the Tri-phase Incarnate. "Your ways is too crude. Look at how I use that jutsu."

"Tri-phase Incarnate!"

Kashu tossed his rods upward, and activated the same jutsu. Instantly, his eye balls floated out of his eyes sockets, and fused with those rods. The rods then fall down while transforming into two black Kashu who landed beside him. The three of them then opened their third eyes.

"See, it's not as painful as what you did." Kashu smiled with what he just performed. It seems, he is still the better from the twin brothers.

"Ceh. It's just the same to me." Ginju didn't want to admit the lacking in his technique. He then gazed at those alert youngsters. "Now kid, our numbers are almost the same. Come, let's fight for real this time."

...

Inside the Glass World.

After the rewards were given, Zokuto and his Bijuus felt themselves become full of vitality. Zokuto on his own felt himself getting a bit younger after receiving 5,000 years of lifespans. His skin become even smoother, and his senses has gotten sharper.

"This feeling really is great." Zokuto's eyes brightened as he felt the condition of his body. Such changes is really unexpected.

"Receiving this much of lifespans really is good. It just that I hoped for something else as a rewards." Zokuto sighed. He was hoping to get some ability to that can directly teleport him back to the ninja world. "No matter. I still got the Blue Pearl. Let's start to refine it."

After that, Zokuto asked the system to teach him how to refine the Blue Pearl. The system just asked Zokuto to eat those Blue Pearl.

"What? Are you not mistaken? Look, that Blue Pearl is a stone. How am I going to eat that?" Zokuto protested.

[Don't worry host. It will turn into liquid properties that will be assimilated into your body.]

Only then did Zokuto complied to the System. He then started to eat the blue stone one by one.

All the Bijuus showed a strange face when they saw Zokuto swallow up all of his collected Blue Pearls. It didn't take long before Zokuto finished eating his blue stones.

"Papa, here some more." Chiro brought his own stones and gave it to Zokuto.

"Er...Zokuto-kun, this is mine. You can have it." Saya also gave her Blue Pearls.

The the others also silently brought their blue stones to Zokuto. Lastly, Kurama also brought his stones, and said, "Kid, I know you are hungry. This is my stone collections. Pfft...You... yeah, just you know...pfft..."

Zokuto was stunned when he saw all of that. He looked at his Bijuus, and saw many amused look on their eyes. Kurama was about to laugh, Saya was sympathizing, and Chiro looked at him with eyes full of expectation.

Damn you all! Are you trying to make fun of me? In his anger and shame, he quickly swallowed each and every single one of those Blue Pearls.
