The Eagle Sauce Nation Was Only Second? The Top Training Rank Revealed!

In Cherry Blossom Nation, Kato Kaito's information slowly appeared on the virtual screen in the center of the plaza.

As they watched the rankings slowly being revealed above, everyone in Cherry Blossom Nation raised their hands and cheered.

"Third place! Kaito really made it into the top three!"

"My God, those rewards are incredible! A direct 15% boost to your starting identity in training?"

"Even newcomers can now head straight into the Naruto World and make a name for themselves!"

As the ranking was announced, a beam of golden light descended from the sky and enveloped everyone in Cherry Blossom Nation.

As their Fortune was strengthened, the comprehension of everyone in Cherry Blossom Nation also received an upgrade.

After the golden light faded, the people of Cherry Blossom Nation flooded into the Dragon Nation's National Destiny Livestream to show off.

"This is Kaito's strength! Peak Jonin! Your so-called Soul Ancestors aren't even worthy of being compared to him!"

"You people from Dragon Nation think you're worthy of competing with Cherry Blossom Nation?"

"If you know what's good for you, obediently apply for a National Destiny contract and become a vassal state of Cherry Blossom Nation. Otherwise, once this training ends, Cherry Blossom Nation will definitely launch a national war and completely occupy Dragon Nation!"

Faced with such provocation from Cherry Blossom Nation, the Dragon Nation viewers naturally fired back without hesitation.

But when they thought about how Dragon Nation had not made the top ten in this National Destiny Trial and had received no Fortune rewards at all, they could not help feeling discouraged.

"After this round, we really need to explore new worlds! If even Soul Ancestors can't make the top ten, then the Soul Land World may truly no longer be among the first tier of training worlds."

"But Dragon Nation has failed to break into the top ten for ten consecutive National Destiny Trainings. That's not just one round of rewards—we've missed out on ten whole rounds!"

"With Dragon Nation's current Fortune, if we explore a new world, we'll basically enter as commoners or even worse. There won't be any special identity bonuses at all!"

Just as the Dragon Nation viewers hung their heads in dejection, some viewers in the National Destiny Livestream noticed something odd.

"Hm? Something's wrong! It looks like the strongest contenders from every major nation have appeared, so why is Cherry Blossom Nation only third?"

"Yeah! Normally, Eagle Sauce Nation would undoubtedly be first. So who took second place?"

"All the publicly recognized strongest contenders seem to be on the leaderboard already. Could some nation's newcomer have discovered a particularly powerful new world?"

Once that thought surfaced, viewers from every nation became restless.

"It must be a contestant from Kimchi Nation! Many of our young contestants love exploring new worlds!"

"How ridiculous. How much Fortune support does your nation even have? Can it support your new contestants surviving in a world even more terrifying than the Hero Hunter World?"

"It must be a contestant from India!"

"People from India are the most afraid of death. And you expect them to explore a new world?"

"Stop dreaming, all of you. This unknown contestant must be from Cherry Blossom Nation. Only Cherry Blossom Nation has enough Fortune to provide them with better starting identities in a new world!"

Every nation that had made the top ten believed their country had produced a second super genius, while some nations that had already given up on this round's training rewards rekindled their hopes.

"Cherry Blossom Nation and Kimchi Nation have only been exploring new worlds for a few years. There is no way their young people would explore even more unknown worlds!"

"That's right. If you ask me, this unknown contestant must be from Aussie Dragon Nation..."

As people from every nation argued endlessly, the second-place entry on the leaderboard was revealed.

[2nd Place]

[Training Participant: Serafino]

[Affiliated Nation: Eagle Sauce Nation]

[Training World: Heaven World]

[Realm: High-Rank Six-Winged Angel]

[Training Reward: Eagle Sauce Nation Fortune +15%, comprehension of all Eagle Sauce Nation citizens +15%, starting identity talent for all Eagle Sauce Nation citizens in training +20%!]

Upon seeing the newly revealed ranking information, viewers from every nation froze for a moment before comments began flooding through livestreams across the world.

"My God, Eagle Sauce Nation's Serafino isn't actually first?"

"Someone was even more of a monster than Serafino this round?"

"That Serafino comes from an incredibly terrifying angel family in Eagle Sauce Nation. When he entered that world, he was absolutely Fortune's chosen one!"

"His strength is far more terrifying than the first-place contestants of previous rounds!"

Because Eagle Sauce Nation had held first place for many consecutive rounds, its Fortune was far stronger than that of other nations. Its starting identities for exploring new worlds were also undoubtedly far superior to those of other nations, so everyone had assumed Eagle Sauce Nation would be first.

For a time, the people in the National Destiny Livestream became even more frantic, all arguing that this mysterious unknown contestant had to be from their own nation.

The Dragon Nation's National Destiny Livestream remained rather quiet.

Many people had just suffered a blow, leaving them with no interest in continuing to watch the National Destiny rankings. Only a handful remained in the livestream, still making guesses.

"Could this mysterious first-place contestant be from Dragon Nation?"

Rather than boosting anyone's confidence, those words instead prompted many people to refute them in despair.

"Stop fantasizing. With our current Fortune, our starting identities and talents in new training worlds would definitely be terrible!"

"Exactly. Even if a contestant really found a training world more terrifying than the Soul Land World, ordinary talents could never carve out a path there. Being barely able to survive would already be impressive!"

"Sigh, I've given up hoping anyway."

"Don't say things like the first place being from Dragon Nation in the livestream. If viewers from other countries see it, they'll laugh at Dragon Nation for dreaming again."

"If you ask me, the most likely possibility is that this first-place contestant is from Eagle Sauce Nation. Their Fortune is the most terrifying, so when they train in a new world, they have a chance of being born directly as a super genius!"

"Eagle Sauce Nation already has someone in second place. If they get another first place, they'll receive Fortune rewards twice, and the rewards will even stack..."

"Sigh, I'm so jealous! I know it's impossible, but it would be wonderful if first place really were someone from Dragon Nation! Even the second-place Fortune rewards are this terrifying. The first-place Fortune rewards could definitely make up for all the losses from our previous nine rounds!"

Meanwhile, in the distant western nation of Eagle Sauce Nation, although the livestream viewers were somewhat surprised that Serafino had not taken first place, they still did not believe anyone could shake their nation's position as number one in Fortune. The atmosphere in the livestream remained fairly relaxed.

"Serafino isn't first?"

"Haha, so what? First place must still be Eagle Sauce Nation! Only Eagle Sauce Nation's Fortune can produce a super genius even more terrifying than Serafino!"

"Serafino should already be the strongest genius in the Heaven World. First place must be from a different world than him."

"Could it be that Eagle Sauce Nation is about to gain a training world even more terrifying than the Heaven World?"

At that thought, excitement appeared on the faces of the people of Eagle Sauce Nation.

At the same time, the National Destiny leaderboard in the sky burst with golden light, and the information for the first-place training participant slowly appeared above.
