Chapter 59.2 : Evolved Kumoko!

"Orochimaru, I've already given you Big Snake's monster cell. Where's my offering?" Manda impatiently inquired.

"Right over there, enjoy," Orochimaru replied, pointing not too far away.

"Good!" Manda eagerly dashed over.

Shortly after, agonizing screams echoed from a distance. Orochimaru soon extracted the monster cells. 

He didn't consume them directly, not because he was concerned about potential side effects, but he no longer possessed a fully human form, having transformed himself into a white-scaled snake.

"Eating them directly would be a waste. If I can cultivate these monster cells, I can amass a formidable monster army," Orochimaru pondered as he took the monster cells to his laboratory for further study.

Meanwhile, Aoda in Ryūchi Cave also received bonus items. Rewards were announced one after another. Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima of Mount Myōboku received rewards, albeit of lesser value due to their lower rankings. Still, these rewards were precious to others.

In Konoha, at the Root headquarters, Danzo held a white jade known as Serenity Gem. This treasure, received as a reward from the Golden List, couldn't enhance one's strength but provided relief from physical discomfort and improved mental well-being. For Danzo, it proved valuable in mitigating the backlash from his Hashirama cell transplant.

"The rewards from the Golden List are remarkable, even for lower rankings like mine. However, the exposure has put me in a difficult situation, leading to my exclusion from Konoha," Danzo noted. 

"Next, I will carefully search for talents and cultivate them secretly. When I accumulate enough, I can definitely get more rewards from the gold list, and even change the fate of future death," Danzo said coldly.

Before anyone knew it, the rewards for the pet list were announced to the end.

With the announcement of the reward for the 100th place in the pet list, it also represents the curtain call for this pet list.

At this time, the Golden List live broadcast room announced the time of the next list announcement.

[One year later, the next list will be announced!

[ Hashirama Senju: It will take a year to announce the next list!)

[ Tobirama Senju: A year is a bit long, and it seems that the time to announce the list will be longer and longer!)

[ Fourth Raikage: Curious, what will the next list be, maybe it will be the ninjutsu list! ]

[Hashirama Senju: If it were a ninjutsu list, many of my ninjutsu would definitely be on the list."

[Hiashi Hyuga: If it is really a ninjutsu list, maybe the ninjutsu of Sage of Six Paths will be on the list, right?)

[Madara Uchiha: The ninjutsu of Sage of Six Paths was not really that powerful. At that time, it was only the beginning stage of ninjutsu, and it was only because of the power of Six Paths, Rinnegan, and the Senjutsu of Sage of Six Paths that it was so powerful.

[White Snake Sage : Maybe it's the list of Senjutsu Techniques!)

When everyone was chatting, the live broadcast room was directly closed, but those who were on the list could still chat, while those who were not on the list could not speak and could only watch others speak.

For a while, there were a lot fewer people in the live broadcast room.

Moreover, without the announcement of the list, there will naturally be fewer and fewer people chatting in the live broadcast room.

A powerful surge of energy emanated from Garaga's training room, signifying his substantial strength improvement after refining the True Dragon Pill. 

Garaga's dragon bloodline had become purer, and he was close to becoming a True Dragon.

His strength has also increased by 50%.

"Be quiet; Kumoko is still evolving. Don't disturb her," Yasao cautioned Garaga. The others, including Honghong, Yaya, and Rongrong, waited for Kumoko's evolution with bated breath.

In the Akatsuki base, Nagato called a meeting of Akatsuki members to discuss capturing the tailed beasts. 

Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, Deidara, Kakuzu, and Hidan were assigned to this mission, with White Zetsu clones guiding them to Jinchūriki.

Next Day,

Yasao could feel the turbulent energy emanating from Kumoko's glowing sphere and knew that Kumoko was on the brink of evolution.

"Master, Kumoko has surely completed her evolution successfully, hasn't she?" Honghong inquired with a touch of nervousness.

The bond between her and Kumoko was exceptionally strong. The impending evolution was a source of anxiety for all of them, as they yearned for Kumoko to succeed.

"Don't worry, she succeeded. If there were any issues during her evolution, I would have intervened," Yasao assured them with a smile.

Just then, the radiant sphere ruptured, and a perfect figure emerged, adorned in sleek black magical armor.

Yasao gazed in amazement as Kumoko had transformed entirely into a human form, her physique petite, adorable, and undeniably cute.

"Wow, Kumoko is so adorable!" Honghong couldn't contain her excitement and rushed forward to embrace Kumoko.

"Sister Honghong, I've finally evolved successfully!" Kumoko exclaimed with great enthusiasm.

Yasao approached and inquired, "Kumoko, how has your strength improved?"

"It's significantly improved!" Kumoko felt the power of the surging Demon King within her. "Master, my strength has increased by at least fivefold, and my abilities have also grown substantially."

For Kumoko, the augmentation of strength was a secondary concern. 

Her most cherished transformation into a human form meant she could now serve her master. Previously, it had been Honghong and the others who attended to Yasao while she watched anxiously from the sidelines.

At that moment, Rongrong mentioned, "Kumoko, you should check the Golden List live broadcast room. Your pet ranking reward has been revealed, and you can claim it there."

"Oh, I almost forgot about my pet ranking reward!" Kumoko realized with a sudden jolt and promptly accessed the Golden List live broadcast room.
