[Choji Akimichi: Yeah, I got carried away, dreaming up something like that.]
Hyuga Hiashi looked at the ranking, secretly delighted.
"Tenth place. Quite respectable."
His thoughts raced as he speculated ambitiously, "If we can get our hands on a few more rare resources, perhaps the Hyuga Clan really could produce a Six Paths Level ninja. Then we might even overshadow the fame of our ancestor Hamura!"
In the past, he would never have dared entertain such a thought.
But now, the Golden Ranking List had given him confidence.
Not only did they have a chance to reach a higher realm, but those life-extending treasures would also ensure that the Hyuga clan could remain at its peak forever.
With tenth place settled, everyone turned their attention to ninth.
Who would it be?
Just as everyone held their breath, golden light erupted again.
Buzzz-!
The image shook violently, and countless tall, powerfully built figures appeared.
The Fourth Raikage, Yotsuki A, and Killer B were prominently among them.
[Fourth Hokage: Ninth place, the Yotsuki Clan of the Land of Lightning!]
[Fourth Raikage: Ninth? Is there something wrong with this ranking?]
0.9[Hyuga Hiashi: Be grateful. Our Hyuga clan has a Transcendent Kage Rank fighter and several Kage Level experts, yet we barely scraped into tenth place. Your Yotsuki Clan ranking above us is already giving you plenty of credit.]
[Fourth Raikage: Hmph, stop bringing up the past. I'm already half a step into the Six Paths Realm, and that monster Killer B is at the peak of Kage Level too. Add in those reckless bastards from my Kumogakure, and crushing your Hyuga Clan would be as easy as squashing ants!]
Hyuga Hiashi did not respond.
The facts were right before him.
The Yotsuki Clan ranked ninth, and the Hyuga Clan ranked tenth.
