Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"The life of a tailed beast is also a life. I have been working for 72 hours straight. That bald guy is simply not a human!"

"I'm almost there too. All humans deserve to die!"

"What a beast! What a beast!"

"Old man, please open your eyes!"

As night fell, it was time for the tailed beasts to hold their daily meeting. Nine figures sat in a circle, complaining about the bad things that had happened recently.
Except for a fat fox that was becoming increasingly chubby, the other tailed beasts exuded an aura of decadence, and the word "Ban" was written in capital letters on their ferocious heads.

"Stinky fox, why haven't I seen you out for a stroll recently?"

Shukaku was much thinner than before, and his round face was now just a layer of skin. His copper-coin eyes searched for the Nine-Tailed Fox who was sleeping peacefully in the corner. Looking at its shiny fur, he felt very unbalanced.
"Humph~"

The Nine-Tailed Fox half-closed its eyes, not wanting to bother with Shukaku and other beasts. It was different from these hardworking guys, and was born to enjoy a good life.
"you!"

Seeing the disdain in the Nine-Tails' eyes, Shukaku angrily swung his shriveled tail around, his sharp teeth rubbing against each other with a creaking sound.
"Alright, alright, it's time to stop fighting, ok?"

Erwei, who was lying on the ground, stretched his body, stood up gracefully, licked the ball in his palm, and said in a dissuading voice,

"Humph! It seems like you and the cow ghost are living a good life. Are you working as a dog for humans?"

Shukaku curled his lips and spoke sarcastically to the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails. While he was talking about dogs, he kept his eyes on the Nine-Tails.

"court death!"

The Two-Tail instantly got angry when it heard this. Although the other party was right, it felt a little embarrassed by Shukaku's remarks. It immediately stretched out its claws, wanting to slap the One-Tail's stinky mouth.

"Youlu, don't be angry. It doesn't know our current situation, so it's understandable for it to say that."

The thick tentacles blocked the two-tailed beast. The eight-tailed beast, which had been silent all this time, shook its huge bull head and said in a dull voice,
"What's the situation? It's just surrendering to humans in exchange for a little freedom."

In the darkness, an indignant voice sounded, and then two groups of tailed beasts walked out, the three-tailed and six-tailed, and the four-tailed and five-tailed. They were all listless, as if their chakra had been sucked dry.

"We just think that humans are not without merit."

Seeing the weakness of the tailed beasts, the Ushio frowned and tried to defend himself.

"They are just a bunch of greedy parasites, there is nothing good about them at all!"

The four-tailed beast gritted its teeth, and the venom in its voice could be sensed by the other tailed beasts present.
Looking at its previously muscular body, now it has shrunk to skin and bones, which makes Niu Gui, who is also a muscle lover, feel scared.
"What happened to you?"

"Humans are all garbage!"

"It's not that difficult to get along with humans, right?"

The Seven-Tails, whose presence was not very high, looked curiously at the tailed beasts that were obviously in two camps.
It gets along fairly well with its host, is treated like a god by Kakuzu, and is exploited as ruthlessly as the Four-Tails and the others.

"Huh? Chongming, you are indeed a traitor. I thought you were just plotted against by humans!"

The four hooves of the Five-Tailed King were trembling slightly. It had once boasted itself to be the fastest of the tailed beasts, but now it even had difficulty standing, and the steam emanating from its body was not as hot as before.

As a result, the tailed beasts were divided into two camps. One side was the resistance faction headed by the One-Tail, whose members included Shukaku, Isobushi, Son Goku, King Mu and Rhino. Even though the tailed beasts were almost squeezed into dregs by their hosts, they still refused to communicate with the knights.

The other side is the lying faction headed by Kyuubi, whose members include Matatabi, Chongming, Niugui and Kurama. Due to various force majeure reasons, they chose to reach a certain consensus with the host and are willing to communicate and fight with it.

Except for the Nine-Tailed Fox, it has to be obedient.

"traitor!"

"We just remember what the old man said~"

"Da da da."

The two sides refused to give in, and the situation was about to escalate into a physical conflict. But at this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps echoed clearly throughout the tailed beast chat room. The tailed beasts were startled and all turned their eyes over.
"It seems that there is a deep resentment between you~"

In the darkness, a red and blue figure slowly walked out, two rose-red compound eyes emitting a mocking look visible to the naked eye.

"How did you get in?"

The tailed beasts looked at the human who suddenly broke into the private chat group and opened their mouths in surprise.
"Sasipuri, it looks like your living conditions are a bit worrying lately?"

Uchiha Gin transformed into a Wangliang Knight and easily sneaked into the space where the tailed beasts often chatted along the network cable. After looking around, his eyes fell on the tailed beasts led by Shukaku.
"It's all your fault, you bastard!"

Shukaku gritted his teeth, his small eyes filled with resentment. If it weren't for the human in front of him, how could it be sealed into the card and used by that bald guy at will.

"You are not as skilled as others, but you are still unwilling to admit defeat?"

Uchiha Gin shook his head, looking at Shukaku who looked so thin and miserable. He was full of love and chose to forgive the other party's rude words.
"I'm going to eat you alive!"

"Shukaku, no, you are no match for him!"

King Mu, who still had some brains, immediately grabbed the furious Shukaku and pulled him aside, with a look of doubt in his huge eyes.

"You showed up at this critical moment, didn't you just come to make fun of us?"

With a little surprise, he glanced at King Mu, whose expression had become more human. It seemed that these tailed beasts, who were unwilling to communicate, had learned something from humans.

"That's natural."

Uchiha Gin nodded gently and turned his gaze towards the Nine-Tails.
"You guys seem to be full of energy. It seems like you have been enjoying life a lot?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, it's all thanks to Decade-brother's support~"

Having seen Uchiha Gin's power, Chongming was the first to speak out.
"Pass the tea to the boss!"

"Welcome Brother Decade to inspect our work!"

The Two-Tail and the Eight-Tail also immediately turned into lackeys, being as diligent as experienced lackeys. Only the Nine-Tail shrank there stiffly, choosing to ignore Uchiha Gin.

The Nine-Tails is the only one among the tailed beasts that has not had in-depth communication with Uchiha Gin. The other eight have all had their tails cut off or their chakras extracted by some shameless curly-haired man. The psychological trauma they suffered cannot be said to be great, but it can only be said to be unforgettable for a lifetime.

The Nine-Tails was luckier, as it was released by Hashirama Senju in advance and escaped the punishment of having its tail cut off. Later, it was directly sealed by Uchiha Madara.

Although it sees this curly-haired guy every now and then, it has never met any other alias other than Uchiha Gin.

"Hey~Kyuubi, how's my cousin doing lately?"

"Very busy."

Facing Uchiha Gin's question, Kyuubi thought for a moment and decided to give him some face, then he answered.
"Hey, keep busy~"

Uchiha Gin was like a lonely old man. He was secretly sad for a while, then he jumped into the field.

Under the gazes of the tailed beasts, either resentful or fearful, he slowly spoke in a low and sexy voice.

"Do you want freedom? If you want, I can give it to you. Go and fight! I will give true freedom to the final winner!"

"."

As Uchiha Gin finished his words, the entire space fell into silence for a long time. All the tailed beasts looked at each other, as if wondering if they had heard something wrong?
"Human, what do you mean?"

Unable to suppress his doubts, Shukaku asked in a muffled voice,

"I don't need to say more. You will understand after a while."

Uchiha Gin made a riddle, and his body began to fade away. At the last moment before disappearing, he added,
"You only have one chance, so you must seize it well~"

With the departure of Uchiha Gin, the tailed beasts in the chat room no longer had the desire to continue communicating and began to log off one after another. After a while, all the beast avatars turned gray.

"The next step is to send out invitations."

At home, Uchiha Gin, who was lying on the sofa, slowly opened his eyes, and his scarlet eyes revealed a faint mysterious power. That night, almost at the same time, a black envelope with a gold border appeared out of thin air in front of all the knights in the ninja world.

"This is?"

The knights looked at the envelope in front of them with surprise. They picked it up uncontrollably. The words written on the front of the envelope made them frown at the same time.
[Those who become knights will bear the fate of being unable to escape from battle]

Kingdom of Wind

"Master Reito, I may have to leave for a while."

The fifty-year-old Shamon, with traces of wind and sand erosion on his weathered face, held the slightly worn driver in his hand and said to the white-haired predecessor Kazekage,
"Shamon, you are the Kazekage. There are some things you don't have to do yourself. Just let Chiyo and the others do it. Don't underestimate them~"

Thinking that Shamen had taken on another difficult task, Reito gave the usual old advice.
"The next era belongs to Chiyo and the others. I just want to fight one last time for the Kingdom of Wind."

After saying a bunch of incomprehensible words, the monk put on a windproof cloak and resolutely dived into the fierce yellow sand. The footprints he left behind were covered by the wind and sand in the blink of an eye.

"Lord Liedou! Something terrible has happened!"

Not long after Shamen left, Chiyo rushed in in a hurry, holding an opened black envelope in her hand, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
"Chiyo, how can you make such a fuss when you are a candidate for the Kazekage?"

Reito frowned as he drank his tea. He looked at Chiyo, whose childish behavior was very different from her mature figure, and spoke sternly.

"Grandpa Liedou, don't worry about this for now, just read this letter!"

"What? You. Nani!!!"

Reito took the envelope handed over by Chiyo with a surprised look on his face, pulled out the letter from it, glanced at it casually, and his gray pupils instantly dilated.
"Go! Bring your teacher back!"

"Yes!"

The land of water.

Kirigakure Village, Mizukage Office.

"Brother, did you also receive this letter?"

Katsura, who had long black hair, took out a black envelope with gold edges from her arms and placed it on the desk of the current Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu.

"Sure enough, everyone received it."

Hearing this, the Second Generation Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, who had been resting his chin with both hands and closing his eyes in thought, slowly opened his eyes, and cast a sinister gaze on the envelope in front of him, and then took out an envelope of the same type from the drawer.

"What are you going to do?"

"Hmph~ Let's not talk about that so-called wish for now. I can just take this opportunity to end things with that bandaged man!"

Recalling the signature at the end of the letter, Gui Deng Huan Yue's eyes first flashed with a complex expression, and then revealed a ferocious smile.
"but."

A look of worry appeared on Katsura's face. Hozuki Gengetsu is now the Second-generation Mizukage and the pillar of the village. If anything unexpected happens to him, their Kirigakure Village will be leaderless, and those restless bloodline families will certainly not miss this excellent opportunity.

"You think I'll lose?"

Gui Deng Huan Yue's expression was grim, and his eyebrowless face looked extremely ferocious.

"No, in that case, I will go too and take care of you then."

Although the letter stated that it was an individual battle, it did not prohibit private team formation.

"Don't worry, I'll take you flying, and you can give me some suggestions when we make a wish~"

With the help of his junior fellow apprentice, Gui Deng Huan Yue felt more confident of winning. He immediately patted Gui's shoulder with a smile and made a promise.

"No, just don't die."

The land of earth.

In a secret room in the back mountain of Iwagakure Village.

The second generation Tsuchikage Mu, wrapped in bandages, sat cross-legged under the eaves, holding a black envelope in his hand, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Here I come, teacher!"

A short figure fell from the sky. It was a young man named Ohnoki, who looked like a small potato. He landed in front of Wu. Time had given him a weathered face, but had forgotten to give him the corresponding height. As a result, even though he was nearly thirty years old, his height was still less than 1.4 meters.

"That is."

After landing, Ohnoki saw the black envelope in Wu's arms, and his eyes instantly widened into the size of copper bells.
"It looks like you received it too."

Wu looked at his disciple's surprised expression and immediately guessed what was going on.

"So it's not a prank."

Ohnoki was stunned for a moment, then with a complicated expression, he took out an envelope of the same type from behind his back.
After he received the letter last night, he did not take the contents seriously and thought it was a prank by the child named Zi.

"What do you think we should do?"

Wu played with the envelope in his hand, and the sound from his burned throat was very hoarse.
"can not go!"

Ohnoki doesn't believe that wishes can come true. It might not even work if you use it to trick a three-year-old child.

"Aren't you worried about losing your knighthood?"

"Humph~ This is the Four-Tailed Fox that I captured with my own ability."

Ohnoki naturally scoffed at the absence punishment mentioned in the letter. The power of the Four-Tails was already his property, and he didn't believe that anyone could take it away from him.

"When the time comes, you should go with me."

Looking at the disciple with a defiant look on his face, Wu lowered his head to look at the signature at the end of the letter and shook his head with a complicated expression.

"No, teacher, this is obviously a scam!"

"Even if it's a scam, we have to confirm it."

The Kingdom of Thunder

"Brother, can you win?"

Silver Horn held up the letter in his hand with a look of pain on his face, and asked Golden Horn who was working hard to exercise his muscles,
"Boom!"

"Since it is Mr. Yin's invitation, we must support it."

He casually threw the thousand-jin barbell onto the ground, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and looked full of fighting spirit.

"Let's show those guys how capable we two brothers are!"

"Master Divine Beast, can we choose to abstain?"

Kakuzu, with a melancholy look on his face, sat in the safe house he had prepared, carefully picking at the gold paint on the black envelope while asking Nanao Shigeaki for advice.

"Is there that option?"

Chongming, who had received the notice long ago, naturally knew that he could not avoid this battle.

"That's true."

After collecting all the golden powder, Kakuzu sighed, his green eyes full of helplessness.

"Unless you win, the effort and reward are totally disproportionate!" (End of this chapter)
