Chapter 124.1 : Utakata!

"Chōmei takes the lead on the list. Does that mean even the lowest-ranking gets such a great reward?"

"The body of the Ten Tails, and it can even transform into a human!"

Inside Gaara's body, Shukaku's heart fluttered.

He had been sealed away by the Sunagakure temple early on, and he yearned for power the most.

If one day he could completely control his own destiny, he wouldn't hesitate.

What Uchiha Ran mentioned initially had taken root in the hearts of these tailed beasts, creating a desire for a human body.

Chōmei has a chance, so does he?

And... better?

But upon further observation, he dismissed the second option without any hesitation.

[Yang Nine Tails: Shukaku, are you actually tempted by the second choice?]

[Gyūki: Ah, you're truly our good brother!

[Chōmei: Don't worry, two big brothers, I will definitely choose one. )

[Shukaku: Hey, hey, Kurama and Gyūki are enough. Am I going to choose the second one and then come to devour you? I was just too excited to see the explanation behind. )

[Sun Wukong: I don't really believe it; you, civet cat, are very bad.

Shukaku: No matter how bad I am, can Kurama be good? And Kurama is too broken.]

[Yin Nine Tails: Where am I broken? "

[Shukaku: At the beginning, the old man divided the chakra into 100 parts on average. At first, he divided each one. Later, you said we divided it ourselves. Seven, leaving forty-nine for yourself, resulting in your own half of Ten Tails' Chakra. Doesn't it?"

[Yang Nine Tails: Gyūki, you look honest and honest, but you actually lied and sold me?]

[Gyūki: Kurama made a false accusation. I never told the public about it. I don't even know about it!"

[Yang Nine Tails: How did the civet cat know?]

[Shukaku: Of course, I guessed this. Not long after the chakra was divided, I felt that there was something wrong with you, but there was no evidence. However, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya got four tailed beasts with the same amount of chakra as half of yours. This is the real hammer. "

[Yang Nine Tails: Ahem, Shukaku, we are brothers. I believe you won't choose two. "

[Shukaku: Cut!]

All: .....

No one would have thought that such information would be revealed in the Nine Tails beast chat.

Sure enough, there is only the wrong amount of chakra, and there is no wrong image.

Foxes are known for their cunning, but it's evident that the Nine Tails beast possesses discernment and is not at all enticed by the second option. The Ten Tails, capable of shape-shifting, emanates an alluring temptation.

However, as its growth method involves devouring other tailed beasts, it chooses to forgo this path.

"Chōmei, what is your choice?" queries the Seven Tails Jinchūriki within the spiritual space.

"Of course, the first one," Chōmei decisively makes a choice.

Golden List releases a beam of light, penetrating directly into the sealed space of Fu.

In the following moments, Chōmei's body undergoes distinct transformations—blood, meridians, bones, muscles, scales—evolution.

Although Chōmei appears unchanged externally, the alterations are profound. Originally limited to physical collision attacks and a monotonous tailed beast jade, Chōmei can now flexibly control various body parts to execute diverse Ninjutsu.

Chakra transforms into branches in each cell and spiritual power, requiring extraction and mobilization for use. It is no longer a mere chakra energy body.

Crucially, it shatters the upper limit of Chakra's body, allowing self-improvement and strength enhancement through exercise and practice.

"Reward obtained!"

Fu also reaps the benefits—an equality contract with Seven-Tails.

The Gold List promptly issues the rewards, concluding the live broadcast.

"Boom!"

A timely golden bell tolls.

A three-dimensional image materializes—a melancholic, handsome young man with brown bangs, his left eye concealed by his hair, donned in a blue haori, wielding a soap bubble blower.

"The Art of Summoning!"

The young man plants his hands on the ground.

"Boom!"

Smoke billows, revealing smoke with a colossal, slug-like creature.

Thirteenth place: Six Tails Saiken (one of the nine chakra beast separated from Ten Tails by Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo in ancient times, a slug with six milky white tails.)

Life Contract: Utakata

The live broadcast shifts to a colorful, bubbly world.

In this world, the figure of Six Tails Saiken emerges at the bottom.

"Boom!"

A bubble bursts, unveiling a slowly forming figure—Utakata, who is on the list.

Utakata, implanted with Saiken at a young age, became a Jinchūriki. He is an indifferent and laid-back individual who enjoys solitude in elevated places, blowing foam, and resting against a large tree. Due to his salty personality, he doesn't favour the blood fog policy in the Hidden Village, thus earning him the status of a traitor.

[Terumi Mei]: Utakata, you are from Kirigakure; you were raised and nurtured by Kirigakure, and the tailed beast also hails from Kirigakure. Now, Kirigakure is not as inhospitable. Have you truly considered not returning to the village?

[Utakata]: Fifth Mizukage, I'm curious. Even if I return to the village, what can I change?

[Terumi Mei]: Waiting for Saiken to gain experience; as a perfect Jinchūriki, you might not be my match. It could be very beneficial!

[Utakata]: Perhaps I'll just be a bystander. The next Ninja world is destined to be the era of Konoha. Even if I return to Kirigakure, I cannot alter this fate.

[Terumi Mei]: I didn't expect you to state it so clearly. Let me be clear too; with your Kage-level combat prowess, even if I weren't able to unify the ninja world in the future, at the very least, I could secure more influence and interests. Right?

Everyone is aware that Konoha aspires to unify the ninja world and possesses the capability to do so.

The First Hokage surpasses almost all of Kage-level ninjas; the resurrected Second Hokage Tobirama, and the Sixth Hokage Tsunade, comparable to the First Hokage, along with the potential return of the Fourth Hokage, who may now exceed the level of the Six Paths. Additionally, there's Ikaros, the perfect Sage Mode Jiraiya, and more.

No one can resist.

If you don't want to perish, you must comply.

As long as resistance holds even the slightest potential, as ninjas, they won't surrender.
