Looking at the three people who were exchanging glances, Ye Chen showed a slight smile.
He waved his large hand.
Shua!
In an instant, rows of text appeared before the three of them.

Seeing these three so-called rankings that suddenly appeared, the three of them were stunned.
Then, they were shocked by the text displayed on the rankings.
"This! What is the meaning of the text on here?"
"'Konoha Crush Plan?' 'Konoha Destruction?' Why are there such events? What exactly is this?"
When Minato Namikaze saw the Event Ranking, he immediately noticed these two terms, and his heart tightened.
Nara Shikaku and Kakashi Hatake were also taken aback.
"'Konoha Crush Plan' and 'Konoha Destruction'."
Nara Shikaku looked at these two terms with a somber expression.
With his extraordinary intelligence, he quickly understood the significance of the so-called rankings.
The Character Ranking listed powerful Ninjas and the Kages of various Villages.
There were many familiar names, many names he had never seen before, and even figures from myths and legends.
For instance, the Six Paths Sage - Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
He knew of the Six Paths Sage; every child in the Ninja World grew up listening to the legends of the Six Paths Sage.
But today was the first time he had learned the Six Paths Sage's full name.
"Is it possible that the Six Paths Sage truly existed? Are the myths and legends actually true?"
Nara Shikaku pondered and then continued to look at the Power Ranking.
The Power Ranking was much simpler, featuring various Villages and factions; only the Akatsuki Organization was something he hadn't heard of.
But since it was ranked on this list, it meant the organization was not simple and required more attention in the future.
Then there was the Event Ranking, which seemed to follow the history of myths and legends down to the present, containing many events Nara Shikaku knew of.
But even more were completely unheard of.
Just like the 'Konoha Crush Plan' and 'Konoha Destruction' that had just made Minato Namikaze cry out in shock.
These two terms appeared blatantly on the ranking, yet as a high-level member of Konoha Village and the Hokage's Chief Advisor...
He had absolutely no knowledge of such events occurring; it was truly baffling.
While Nara Shikaku was still thinking, Kakashi Hatake stared at a name on the list and cried out in surprise:
"Sensei, that's Obito's name!"
"How could he be ranked so high, and my name is there too!?"
As Kakashi Hatake's close friend, Uchiha Obito's name naturally caught Kakashi's attention.
But what was confusing was that the names on the Character Ranking were all figures who had once stood or currently stood at the top of the Ninja World.
He was already a bit puzzled that he could make the list, so how could even Uchiha Obito be on it?
When he died, he didn't even have the strength of a Jonin!
"Obito?"
Hearing Kakashi Hatake's words, Minato Namikaze also noticed Uchiha Obito's name.
But he shook his head, unable to understand it either, so he simply chose not to care.
At this moment, his mind was entirely focused on those events related to Konoha.
"'Konoha Crush Plan', 'Konoha Destruction'."
"How could such a thing be possible!?"
Minato Namikaze shook his head slightly.
In his memory, such things had never happened.
And logically speaking, Konoha Village was the strongest power in the entire Ninja World.
With experts as numerous as clouds and the strong as plentiful as rain.
Located in a rich area with fertile land, whether in terms of economy or military power...
It was number one in the Ninja World.
For such a Konoha Village, who, or what power, could cause Konoha to crush?
Or even cause the Konoha Destruction?
This was an absolutely impossible thing to happen.
"Shikaku, what do you think?"
Minato Namikaze had been startled when he first saw the rankings.
After calming down, he felt that this ranking had many loopholes and was not worth believing.
"Minato, judging by the current situation, a part of it is true, but most of it is untrustworthy."
Nara Shikaku shook his head and answered Minato Namikaze's question.
He believed the rankings were a mix of truth and lies, especially the parts about myths and legends and the events he had never heard of.
They were most likely fake.
But what puzzled him even more was why Ye Chen wanted to show these rankings.
Was it to convey false information to them?
Or was he planning some sort of conspiracy?
After a pause, Minato Namikaze spoke up and asked:
"May I ask, what is the meaning of these three rankings? Why show them to us?"
Ye Chen explained:
"These three rankings are arranged according to certain rules."
"The Character Ranking is arranged from high to low based on strength and influence, taking the person at the strongest moment of their life."
"The Power Ranking, as the name suggests, is composed of the strongest major powers in the Ninja World."
"And the Event Ranking is arranged chronologically from ancient to modern times, featuring major historical events of the Ninja World."
These three rankings were automatically generated by the system, not something Ye Chen had ranked himself.
If Ye Chen were to rank them himself, he would probably arrange them according to his own preferences; moreover, although he was familiar with the original plot, many characters in the original plot only made brief appearances, and Hamura Ōtsutsuki didn't even appear at all.
Therefore, it was impossible to rank them objectively and neutrally.
But the system possessed its own great power and could rank them completely fairly and justly.
In fact, he was also quite puzzled when he finished looking at the rankings, feeling that many people's positions were different from what he had expected.
It should be up until before Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, right? If Boruto: Naruto Next Generations were also included in the scope of reference, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke would probably drop way down to the back.
Thinking of a certain 'non-combustible material,' Ye Chen thought to himself mockingly.
