Chapter 044: Ten Thousand Years of Lifespan!

After Garaga's image appeared, a simple introduction followed.

[Garaga: A member of the Flood Dragon lineage, possesses immense defense, speed, and strength, with a lifespan of ten thousand years!]

[Senju Hashirama: What a terrifying presence! This Garaga fellow is far stronger than the Nine-Tails!]

[Uchiha Madara: Indeed, it's incredibly powerful—much more so than any summon beast I've ever encountered! Even the Nine-Tails would be easily subdued by it.]

[Nine-Tails: Alright, I admit I can't beat this guy!]

[Eight-Tails: How can there be such a terrifying creature? It feels like even Kage-level shinobi are mere ants in front of it.]

[One-Tail: Although it's just an image, you can still feel its power far surpassing Kage-level shinobi.]

[White Snake Sage: Garaga is indeed powerful, but it hasn't mastered Sage techniques. It's probably just a bit stronger than me. However, it has a ten thousand-year lifespan!!!!]

In terms of strength, whether it's the White Snake Sage, the Great Toad Sage, or the Slug Sage, they can all display Six Paths-level power. Garaga is also at the Six Paths level, and as a Flood Dragon, its physical strength is unmatched.

However, considering everything, Garaga is only slightly stronger, without forming an overwhelming advantage. But it's still stronger, which is why it ranks tenth.

The White Snake Sage doesn't envy Garaga's strength but covets its lifespan!

She herself doesn't have a ten thousand-year lifespan, but Garaga does.

What does ten thousand years even mean? The history of the ninja world is nowhere near ten thousand years; it's an unbelievably long lifespan!

[Great Toad Sage: Ten thousand years of life, how enviable!]

[Slug Sage: Ten thousand years of life, how enviable!]

[Third Tsuchikage: Ten thousand years of life, how enviable!]

Below, a crowd of people all echoed the sentiment of envy.

[Garaga: Hahaha, how about it? By following my master, I easily reached this level. Ten thousand years is nothing—one day I might live for tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years. White Snake, you wanted the True Dragon's Blood and even offered to follow my master for it. Haha, my master wouldn't waste it on you. He gave it to me without a second thought!]

[White Snake Sage: Garaga, don't get too cocky!]

[Garaga: I am cocky—what are you gonna do about it? I revealed my rank, and you didn't believe me. You even said I was crazy. Haha, how do you feel now?]

The White Snake Sage was so furious she couldn't speak, eventually falling silent.

At this moment, many people envied Garaga and were also shocked at how generous Ye Tian was.

That was the True Dragon's Blood! Even for a human, it would have unimaginable effects. But Ye Tian gave it to a pet he'd only recently acquired. Wasn't he worried that Garaga, now stronger, would betray him?

Sound Village.

"Garaga's luck is unreal, getting the True Dragon's Blood from Ye Tian. If I had it, even if my power didn't reach Garaga's level, it would at least rival that of the Second Hokage!" thought Orochimaru.

After all, he had long transformed his body into that of a White Phosphorus Snake, giving him the same constitution as the White Snake Sage.

If he had the True Dragon's Blood, it might have unimaginable effects.

But alas, Garaga drank it all.

Rain Village.

Konan asked Nagato, "Nagato, can you handle this Flood Dragon called Garaga?"

"Not sure," Nagato replied with a frown. "In terms of raw power and attack, I'm certainly no match, but I have the Rinnegan. If all six of my Paths attack together, and our coordination is perfect, we might win. But there's also a good chance we'd lose. If we fought head-on, my attacks might be ineffective against it, with a ninety percent chance of defeat! However, if we worked together, we'd have a good shot at victory. In the ninja world, teamwork is crucial—even a few elite jonin working well together could take down a Kage. For a summon like Garaga, who isn't very intelligent, we shouldn't fear it. What's truly terrifying is its master."

"You mean Ye Tian?" Konan said, her tone serious.

Nagato nodded. "Yes, Ye Tian's taijutsu is incredible, and he has various terrifying weapons and many hidden cards. Even now, I haven't figured out how to deal with him. Plus, with a summon like Garaga, it's even harder to defeat him!"

"So, we should avoid making an enemy of Ye Tian," Konan suggested.

Whether it was Nagato, Konan, or the White Snake Sage who knew Garaga well, they all underestimated it.

For example, the White Snake Sage only thought Garaga relied on physical speed and petrification abilities without any other significant tricks.

However, over the past few years, Garaga not only mastered the True Dragon Technique but also learned various other abilities. And after becoming a Flood Dragon, it gained numerous innate powers, each equivalent to a kekkei tōta.

As a result, Garaga's actual combat power was far beyond what they imagined. Underestimating it would lead to severe consequences.

Moon, Kaguya's Space.

At this moment, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was also watching the Golden List.

"What a powerful Flood Dragon. I didn't expect such a strong creature to appear in the ninja world. I hope it doesn't interfere with Black Zetsu's plans, or it could hinder my escape," Kaguya thought.

But as for whether she feared Garaga, she didn't.

Just from the aura transmitted through the screen, it hadn't yet reached a level that could trouble her.

In her eyes, Garaga might have reached Six Paths-level, but there's a gap even within that level, and she was at the pinnacle of it.

So, she didn't need to fear Garaga.

However, Garaga was only ranked tenth on the pet list, meaning there were still nine more powerful summons!

"So many years have passed, and the ninja world has produced so many strong creatures!" Kaguya mused.

At that moment, the sealing power struck again, and she fell back into slumber.

She would wake up every so often and then return to sleep, repeating this cycle endlessly.

Golden List Livestream.

[Kakashi: If Garaga is this strong, what about the top nine?]

[Might Guy: I can't even imagine, but they must be terrifying creatures!]

[Great Toad Sage: The top nine pets shouldn't also be connected to Ye Tian, right?]

[Nine-Tails: No way, right? Garaga became this powerful because Ye Tian gave it the True Dragon's Blood, and there was only one of those!]

[One-Tail: But Ye Tian also got the Millennium Dragon's Essence—what if he gave that to another summon?]

[Eight-Tails: He wouldn't be that wasteful, would he?]

[Jiraiya: The ninth-ranked pet should be revealed soon; I'm really curious!]

[Kakashi: The ninth pet on the list is out!!!]

Under everyone's gaze, the ninth-ranked pet on the list was announced.
