Maybe… just maybe, he was stronger than the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki, and could take fifth place.
But!
The moment he saw the newly updated name on the rankings, his heart sank a little.
[Comprehensive Five Kage Rankings – 5th Place: Third Raikage, A!]
[The strongest Raikage, wielding the "Strongest Spear" and the "Strongest Shield."]
[Lightning Release Chakra Mode: astonishing movement speed, overwhelming taijutsu strength, and a near-indestructible body.]
[Engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Eight-Tails and fought it to a draw, even managing to suppress the rampaging beast.]
[In his final battle, he fought ten thousand ninja to protect his comrades and died of exhaustion.]
[Inventor of Black Lightning, later inherited by Darui.]
[The longest-serving Raikage in history, led the village during its golden age.]
[Possessed a powerful and charismatic leadership aura.]
[Reward: Summoned Beast – Super Divine Pikachu!]
Everyone was stunned.
In past rankings, when a reward appeared, they could usually tell how powerful or rare it was based on the description.
But this time?
All they knew was that the Third Raikage, A, had been rewarded with a summoned beast named Super Divine Pikachu.
But was it strong? Was it useful?
No one knew.
Especially the Third Raikage himself—he was completely dumbfounded.
After finally making the list, his reward was… a summoned beast? One that no one even knew the use of?
And he was already dead! What he really wanted was a resurrection token or at least a method to revive!
[First Hokage – Hashirama Senju]: Madara! What do you think? Is this Super Divine Pikachu strong or not?
[Second Hokage – Tobirama Senju]: Nii-san! Why didn't you ask me?
[First Hokage – Hashirama Senju]: Onii-chan, fine, you tell me then. Is it strong?
[Second Hokage – Tobirama Senju]: I don't know!
[First Hokage – Hashirama Senju]: "..."
[Uchiha Izuna]: What a dummy. You don't even know, and yet you want Hashirama to ask you?
[Second Hokage – Tobirama Senju]: Mind your own business! This is between me and my brother!
[Uchiha Izuna]: Don't act like I don't have a brother too.
@Uchiha Madara: Onii-san, do you know?
[Uchiha Madara]: I've seen a lot in my life, but this "Super Divine Pikachu" is a first even for me. I have no idea.
@Nara Shikamaru: How about you?
[Nara Shikamaru]: I don't know either, but I'm guessing it's a summoned beast related to lightning.
[Gamabunta]: Could be a different species altogether. This world is full of mysteries. Even we toads don't know every summoned beast out there.
[Manda]: Tch! You toads think you're all that?
[Gamabunta]: At least we're not pathetic enough to be used as a human shield and die from it. What a waste. If I'd been there, I could've skinned you for a snakeskin wallet!
[Gamakichi]: Dad! Even if you had been there, it wouldn't have mattered—his skin was all burnt up anyway! Hahaha!
[Manda]: Damn toads! I could eat you all in one bite! And that brat Uchiha Sasuke—better hope you don't fall into my hands, or I'll devour you too!
[Uchiha Sasuke]: Tch! You're my summoned beast. How dare you act cocky?
[Manda]: I'm not your summoned beast anymore, brat!
Just then—
The golden scroll in the sky trembled, then suddenly burst into radiant light.
The familiar translucent screen appeared before it.
And then…
A new title appeared on the screen.
[Since no one has seen Super Divine Pikachu before, and a direct explanation may be hard to understand, please enjoy this MV!]
Everyone was stunned.
What?! We're doing music videos now?!
Still, everyone looked up at the screen.
They were curious—what the heck was an MV?
And what kind of summoned beast was this Super Divine Pikachu?
Soon, the video started.
A cute and cuddly Pikachu appeared on screen.
Immediately—
In the Pure Land, the Third Raikage A spat out a mouthful of blood.
This?! THIS was his reward?!
The Pikachu in the video looked adorable and soft—he could poke it to death with just one finger!
What was the point of this thing?!
In the chat group, everyone else was already bursting into laughter.
No one openly mocked him—just a wall of "Hahahahaha."
But that was even worse.
The Third Raikage felt his face burning with embarrassment.
Chapter 92
Just as everyone was either laughing or feeling sorry for the Third Raikage…
Their attention was drawn back to the screen.
This wasn't just a regular clip—it was a full-on music video (MV).
The screen showcased various intense and dramatic moments of Super Divine Pikachu in action, with music and lyrics accompanying it.
[My name is Pichu! But when I evolve, I become Pikachu!]
(Evolution scenes play on screen.)
[Use the Thunder Stone—and I evolve again into Raichu!]
(More evolution scenes.)
[But I don't like evolving! I want to stay Pikachu!]
['Cause I'm just a big ol' yellow mouse!]
[My birthday is… February 27, 1996!]
[My weight? 4 kilograms!]
[My height? 0.4 meters!]
[My voltage? 100,000 volts!]
[My element? Of course it's electricity!]
[My net worth? 824 million!]
[My favorite food? Ketchup and apples!]
[Least favorite? Fatty meat, eww!]
[My biggest wish? To grow taller someday… sigh.]
[What I hate the most? Team Rocket's nonsense!]
[What I love the most? Winning Gym battles!]
The chat group exploded.
[Third Raikage – A]:Pffft! My summoned beast… turns out to be a big yellow mouse?! Seriously?! You guys kept complaining the scroll was targeting you, but THIS is real targeting! I got one reward—and it's a giant mouse!
[Fourth Raikage – A]: Dad! Don't look down on him just because he's a mouse! He can discharge 100,000 volts—that's insanely strong!
[Mabui]: Lord Fourth Raikage is right! Even if he's a yellow mouse, he's powerful!
[Third Tsuchikage – Ōnoki]: Still, he's way too small. Only 0.4 meters tall and 4 kg? He's even smaller than me! Can something that tiny really release 100,000 volts?
[Immature Tsunade Fan]: If the scroll says it's true, then it must be. Besides, I also hate fatty meat!
[Pretending-to-be-Young Old Lady]: I think he's adorable—not just in looks, but in personality! He just wants to grow taller… how cute!
[First Hokage – Hashirama]: What does "winning Gym battles" mean? Do summoned beasts need to fight in gyms now?
