Beerus found the Rank Three golden pill to be useless and decided to opt for the star gold instead, knowing it could potentially be refined into a weapon.
Immediately, Beerus withdrew the star gold.
Soon after, the reward for the 20th place on the Kill List was announced, which went to Rimuru.
Displayed on the screen were two reward items:
The first item was the Rank Three Golden Pill.
The second item was a Black Lotus Flower.
[Sixth Rank Black Lotus: One of the spirit herbs, capable of enhancing magical power and tempering the body...]
Rimuru glanced at the two rewards and chose the Sixth Rank Black Lotus.
Hm!
Rimuru retrieved the Sixth Rank Black Lotus and promptly swallowed it, refining its energy.
Subsequently, the rewards continued to be distributed.
Finally, it was Jiraiya's turn for the 26th place reward on the Kill List.
Two reward items appeared on the screen:
The first item was a bottle of Enlightenment Liquid.
[Enlightenment Liquid: Temporarily enhances one's perception.]
The second item was a bottle of Elixir.
[Body Tempering Elixir: Greatly enhances body tempering, strength, and defense...]
Jiraiya pondered over the two rewards for a moment, then finally chose the Enlightenment Liquid.
"With this Enlightenment Liquid, maybe I can perfect Sage Mode. My Sage Mode has always been imperfect; every use carries the risk of petrification, which must be resolved," muttered Jiraiya.
Without delay, he retrieved the Enlightenment Liquid and commenced his training.
Shortly after, the reward for the twenty-seventh position on the kill list was announced, awarded to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's rewards were underwhelming.
Among his two rewards were an ordinary Chakra Fruit that enhances Chakra, and a secret technique - Spiritual Ape Technique.
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen opted for the Spiritual Ape Technique.
As time passed, rewards from the list were distributed one by one.
Before anyone realized it, the final reward was issued to Kakashi.
Kakashi received an ordinary spiritual item that moderately enhanced Chakra.
With the distribution of Kakashi's reward, it marked the culmination of the kill list.
["The next list will be announced in a year."]
"The list is gone. I wonder what the next one will bring?" Yasao muttered.
He then resumed his training to further improve his strength.
Meanwhile, on the moon,
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's power had surpassed the Six Paths level, reaching the realm of the Immortal Realm.
"Hahaha, I've finally broken through to the Immortal Dao level!" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya exclaimed with excitement.
Immediately, she began to assault the seal.
Boom!!!
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's single blow shattered the seal.
With a few more impacts like that, the seal would surely be completely broken, freeing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from her confinement.
At that moment,
Many Six Paths-level powerhouses sensed the moon's tremors.
"No, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is about to emerge!"
Many ninjas were filled with concern.
*Click!*
The lunar seal shattered, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya emerged from it.
She glanced at Ōtsutsuki Toneri on the moon, hesitated briefly, but ultimately took no action.
"What!"
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya leapt out into space, fearing that if she lingered, Yasao or his subordinates might attack her, which she couldn't afford to withstand!
Kumoko, Beerus, and the others were unconcerned about Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. After all, her strength paled in comparison to theirs, and with no orders from their master Yasao, they paid her no mind.
Yet Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself harbored a deep fear of Yasao, hence she remained hidden, unwilling to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi over the entire ninja world.
In truth, casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi was no longer necessary.
With her current power, she had no reason to fear other Ōtsutsuki.
However, the One Tail and Eight Tails were in a panic.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was surely contemplating gathering the tailed beasts, reuniting the Ten Tails, and becoming its Jinchūriki once more to enhance her strength!
Thus, they hid themselves deeply, dreading being discovered.
Time flowed by, and in the blink of an eye, another year passed.
On this particular day,
Many ninjas gathered in a livestream room, awaiting the announcement of the new rankings.
[Tsunade: The new rankings are about to be announced; I'm so nervous!]
[Uchiha Madara: I hope my ranking improves this time, allowing me to significantly enhance my strength, ideally reaching the Immortal Dao level!]
[Senju Hashirama: Madara, you're still 108,000 miles away from the Immortal Dao level. You dream of achieving it in one leap!]
[Uchiha Madara: With the Gold List, anything is possible!]
Soon, the livestream from the Golden List broadcast room displayed the names on the new rankings.
[Ten minutes later, the potential list will be announced]
[Tip: The potential list is based on strength and age. The younger and stronger, the greater the potential.]
[Uchiha Madara: What? The potential list takes age into account?]
[Senju Hashirama: It's over for us; we probably won't make the potential list. We're much older now. How can we compete with those newcomers? Especially since the Gold List emerged, a group of young talents has risen to super Kage-level or even Six Paths level. Their potential definitely surpasses ours!]
[Third Tsuchikage: I'm not convinced either, this list is clearly embarrassing an old man like me!"
[ Uzumaki Naruto: Looking at it this way, don't I have a chance to be at the top of the potential list?
[ Haruno Sakura: Yes, Naruto is already at the level of the Six Paths, and he's very young. My future husband Sasuke also reached the level of the Six Paths not long ago, and he's very young too!)
"Master, we must secure our place in the top ten potential list!" Kumoko exclaimed.
"For sure!" Yasao smiled. "You guys are younger than me; you can definitely make it into the top ten potential list!"
"Anyway, the number one potential must be the master!" Yaya affirmed.
"Of course, the master's strength is so formidable, and he's still so young. He has to be the top contender in the potential list; no one can compare!" Hong Hong added.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
At this moment, the 100th place on the potential list was announced.
