Chapter 4 - Tsunade-hime? I Just Want to Win Every Bet!

🔹[Pure Land – Discussion Feed]

[Senju Tobirama]: Big brother, my guess was spot on. Even us from the Pure Land can make the rankings and receive rewards.

[Senju Hashirama]: Tobirama, you really are sharp. It's a pity none of us are eligible for the Summoned Beast Ranking.

[Uchiha Madara]: Hmph. Just wait and watch — you'll be choking on envy soon enough!

[Uzumaki Mito]: Madara, don't tell me you're expecting to make the list? I don't recall you having a summoned beast that impressive.

[Uchiha Madara]: Hashirama, tell your wife whether I'm making the list or not!

(Madara thought to himself: "I contracted the Nine-Tails. Rank 1 is mine for the taking.")

[Senju Hashirama]: Dear, Madara really might make the list… and he could even take the top spot.

Hashirama recalled their final battle, nodding solemnly.

🌟 New Entry Appears[Summoned Beast Ranking – No. 18: Mirage Beast (Shen)]

Summoner: Second Mizukage

Reward: 10 A-Rank Jutsu; Water-style Ninjutsu power ×100 for both summoner and beast.

As more names appeared, the rewards were getting increasingly terrifying.

Shinobi who had summoned beasts but hadn't yet appeared on the list were now tense with hope.

Even Kiba Inuzuka, who had earlier comforted Akamaru by saying he was a partner, not a summoned beast, was feeling bitter and frustrated.

Honestly, if it weren't for the Inuzuka clan's rules, I'd have signed a summoning contract with Akamaru by now…

"Lady Tsunade, your Slug will definitely make the list!"

Shizune, holding Ton-Ton the piglet, tried to calm Tsunade, who was visibly anxious.

"That's not what I'm worried about."

"Then what are you nervous about?" Shizune asked.

"The reward! What if it's not what I want — like a luck buff?"

Shizune broke into cold sweat. She had a very strong feeling about what Tsunade was hoping for.

As expected, Tsunade's face lit up with longing.

"If I get a luck boost, I'll be able to win every bet!"

Shizune's expression changed.

"Lady Tsunade! That would be a disaster!"

She knew all too well — whenever Tsunade won a gamble, it was always followed by disaster.

If Tsunade really did win every bet… the consequences could be unimaginable.

🌀 Pure Land

The Sage of Six Paths was starting to get a little giddy.

"All nine Tailed Beasts are technically my children. At this rate, I might monopolize the entire Top Nine on the Summoned Beast Ranking!"

🐍 Ryūchi Cave (Dragon Cave)

Manda, the giant snake, was also paying close attention.

"If even trash like that Giant Salamander made it… I'm definitely Top 10!"

Manda was extremely confident, already imagining its reward.

🐸 Mount Myōboku

Gamabunta:

"I'll definitely rank and get stronger from the reward!"

The other toads contracted by Jiraiya were visibly excited.

But the ones without contracts looked on with envy — or regret.

"We're far stronger than those Eight Ninja Dogs. If only we had signed a contract, we could've made the list!"

⛩ Myōboku – Inner Temple

The Great Toad Sage, Gamamaru, possessed power equal to the Sage of Six Paths.

If he had a summoning contract with a human, he could easily enter the Top 3.

But he didn't feel sad about being excluded.

"I'm happy that my clan members are receiving recognition."

He understood better than anyone — the temptation of the rewards would reshape the world.

"Once the Summoned Beast Ranking spreads, more toads will leave Myōboku to form contracts with humans."

"And not just here — the stinking snakes from Ryūchi Cave will be doing the same."

🐌 Shikkotsu Forest

The Slug Queen — though calm and composed — couldn't deny her excitement.

Unlike the toads and snakes who acted as individuals, the Slugs were a collective.

While Tsunade had a contract with the Slug Sage, she could only summon a portion of it due to her chakra limits.

"I wonder what my ranking will be… and what my reward might be?"

📜 Ranking System Upgrade Revealed!

By the time the scroll revealed Rank 16, a new revelation shook the world:

From Rank 15 onward, in addition to the name and reward...

...the legendary battle scene of the summoner and their beast would also be displayed!

A wave of pride swept across confident shinobi.

After all, who wouldn't want their heroic deeds watched and praised by the world?

🦊 Pure Land

Madara, arms crossed and chin raised arrogantly:

"Looks like my identity as the Nine-Tails' summoner is about to be revealed…"

Elsewhere, the Sage of Six Paths sighed, shaking his head.

"Sigh. I really didn't mean to build a personal cult. But if all Nine Tailed Beasts make the list..."

"I'll be exposed whether I like it or not. What a shame!"

🌟 New Entry Appears[Summoned Beast Ranking – No. 15: Monkey King Enma]

Summoner: Hiruzen Sarutobi

Reward: 100 A-Rank Ninjutsu techniques; Chakra of both summoner and beast ×10

Chūnin Exam Arena – High Platform

Hiruzen saw his name appear on the scroll — above his rival Danzō.

He smirked slightly.

"As expected of me."

And with that…

Konoha erupted in celebration.
