[Summoning Jutsu: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!]
As Mirai Uchiha shouted the command, the Kara of the Ten-Tails instantly appeared within the open-air base.
Staring at the Ten-Tails with its nine eyes tightly shut, Mirai felt a rush of excitement.
After so much time and effort, it was finally time to revive the Ten-Tails.
Without hesitation, Mirai summoned all nine Tailed Beasts from inside his body.
Looking at the Demonic Statue before them, Gyuki couldn't help but exclaim, "So this is the Ten-Tails!"
"How huge!"
Compared to the Ten-Tails, their once-proud bodies looked nothing more than like specks.
Shukaku couldn't resist commenting sarcastically, "This is our original body? It's too ugly!"
Kurama snorted coldly, "Your looks ain't nothin' special either."
Offended by Kurama's mockery, Shukaku angrily retorted, "Damn fox, you're the ugliest of all!"
Seeing the two about to start fighting again, Matatabi quickly stepped in to stop them.
"Enough. This isn't the time for you two to be quarreling."
After saying that, Matatabi turned to Mirai and asked the question that concerned all the Tailed Beasts.
"Mirai, how exactly do you plan to revive the Ten-Tails?"
Upon hearing Matatabi's question, the nine Tailed Beasts immediately fell silent.
They all stared nervously at Mirai Uchiha.
Although Mirai had promised them before that he would separate their consciousness from their chakra,
those promises were merely Mirai's unilateral assurances.
If Mirai now decided to renege on his promise, they'd have no chance of survival.
Feeling the gazes of the nine beasts, Mirai smiled. "Don't be so tense. I never go back on my word."
Hearing Mirai's reply, Shukaku and Kurama finally relaxed completely.
Mirai really is a good guy.
"Wait, this might hurt a bit. Bear with it."
After giving them that reminder, Mirai started with Shukaku, separating its spirit from its chakra.
With his current strength, accomplishing these tasks wasn't particularly difficult.
With Mirai's technique, Shukaku's chakra and spirit were separated.
A massive ball of chakra was sealed directly by Mirai into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Meanwhile, Shukaku itself transformed into an extremely small and cute raccoon dog.
"Hahahaha..."
"Shukaku, you sure look adorable like this."
"Laughs like an old man never get old!"
Seeing Shukaku's clumsy and cute appearance, Kurama couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Enraged, Shukaku glared coldly at Kurama. "You askin' for a fight?"
Kurama barely suppressed a chuckle. "No fighting, no fighting. I'm worried you'll leap up and tear my toenails out again."
"Hahahahaha…"
Seeing Kurama's smug expression, Shukaku suddenly remembered that it had already lost its previous power.
It could only grumble resentfully, "Stinky old fox, I'll settle the score when it's your turn!"
While Shukaku and Kurama were bickering playfully, Mirai Uchiha had already begun splitting Matatabi's chakra.
Having gone through the process with Shukaku before, this time the procedure was completed much faster.
Before long, Matatabi transformed into a feline spirit cloaked in blue flames.
Next were Isobu, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, and finally Kurama…
As the nine eyes on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path gradually lit up, the splitting of all nine Tailed Beasts was completed.
Looking at the adorably dazed expressions of the nine beasts, Mirai Uchiha said calmly, "I've preserved chakra equivalent to that of an S-rank ninja for each of you. It should be sufficient for daily use."
"Additionally, you can still use your original abilities."
"For example, Shukaku can still control sand, and Matatabi can still spit fire."
"From now on, you're completely free. You can go wherever you want."
"If you ever encounter any problems you can't solve, feel free to reach out to me anytime."
Mirai patiently explained many things to the nine Tailed Beasts.
After spending so much time together, Mirai no longer simply regarded them as tools to be used.
When they felt Mirai's sincerity and kindness, the nine Tailed Beasts couldn't help feeling moved.
Over thousands of years of existence, none of them had ever encountered a shinobi who treated them like Mirai did.
Moreover, under Mirai's rule, humans' attitudes toward them had completely changed.
The long-prophesied era of harmony between humans and Tailed Beasts spoken of by the Six Paths Elder had finally arrived!
Matatabi spoke first, "Reiji Country has nothing interesting anyway. I might as well stay in Konoha."
"Future, may I remain by your side from now on?"
Mirai Uchiha nodded, "Of course."
"You can move into my estate and continue receiving the same care you received while sealed within me."
Seeing this, Gyuki also spoke up, "I prefer the Land of Fire over the Land of Lightning."
"I'll stay in Konoha."
After speaking, Gyuki turned to Kurama, "Kurama, what are your plans?"
Kurama tilted his head high, "I originally lived in the Land of Fire. Naturally, I will continue staying in Konoha from now on."
As soon as Kurama finished speaking, Shukaku immediately said, "I want to return to the Land of Wind. I love deserts."
"And I certainly won't stay in the same place as this stinky fox."
Isobu said softly, "I don't plan to stay in Konoha either. I prefer living in the sea."
Each of the nine Tailed Beasts voiced their own opinions.
In the end, Matatabi, Kokuo, Gyuki, and Kurama decided to remain in Konoha.
Shukaku headed for the Land of Wind, Isobu went to the Land of Water, Son Goku wanted to explore the ninja world, Saiken chose the Land of Rivers, and Chomei returned to the Land of Takigakure.
Mirai Uchiha naturally had no intention of interfering with the Tailed Beasts' decisions.
After making that decision, Mirai turned his attention to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which had already opened its nine eyes.
[Rise again, my Ten-Tails!]
Under Mirai Uchiha's control, the chakra of the six Tailed Beasts merged within the statue's body.
An ancient yet terrifying aura spread out as the statue gradually transformed.
It shifted from a withered humanoid form into a beast-like shape with ten mighty tails.
[Roar!]
The Ten-Tails let out a mighty roar to the sky, its shockwave generating violent gusts of wind.
Even the dark and cold-hearted Nine-Tails paled in comparison to the Ten-Tails before them.
"This... is the Ten-Tails? Such horrifying power."
"So this is what our combined chakra looks like?"
"No wonder the Six Paths Elder split the Ten-Tails into nine parts. With power like this... destroying the ninja world would be effortless!"
Feeling the Ten-Tails' brutal aura, all nine Tailed Beasts couldn't help but feel shocked.
Too strong.
Combining their powers had clearly caused a fundamental transformation in the Ten-Tails.
As the Tailed Beasts stood in amazement, Mirai instantly appeared atop the head of the Ten-Tails.
