Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

"We're from the village. Are you sure we can get the belts for free if we sign this contract?"

At this moment, Hozuki Gengetsu and the others each held a pre-prepared scroll. After carefully reading the terms on it, they all looked up in unison, their faces filled with disbelief, staring at Uchiha Gin before them, repeatedly asking for confirmation.

"Of course, as long as you can represent your respective villages and sign this knightly pledge, I will give you the belt free of charge, with the beast head on it."

Uchiha Gin shrugged, indicating that he absolutely had no secrets and that it was all a sincere benefit for his family.

"We can obtain the belt simply by adhering to the agreement not to use knightly powers during wartime?"

Wu unfolded the scroll, pointed to the paragraph in bold on top, and checked it again.

It should be noted that the countries have just signed a peace agreement prohibiting war between the five major powers, meaning that at least in the short term, these countries will not be able to fight each other.

"That's right, you can use it for missions, personal grudges, or one-on-one duels, but if you use the power of a Tailed Beast Rider during a war, the consequences will be dire~"

The contract given to these people was actually quite simple: it was to restrain the behavior of the Tailed Beast Riders and prevent the villages from bringing this overpowered power into the battlefield.

"What if we are invaded? Does that mean we still can't use it?"

The monk, who had been lost in thought for a long time, raised his head and asked.

"Who would invade your poor, desolate place and steal your sand?"

Hozuki Gengetsu scoffed at the hypothesis proposed by Shamon, saying that there was no one in the ninja world willing to invade the Land of Wind.

"Hypothetically speaking! Hypothetically speaking, you understand? Besides, our Land of Wind is rich in minerals. Who knows, maybe one day we'll dig up a huge gold mine and make you so jealous, you little mustache! I'll... *&@#*&…"

Shamon, who had been constantly teased by Hozuki Gengetsu for being poor and stingy, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately blushed, pointed at Hozuki's nose, and began to hurl profanities.

"No, the power of a knight cannot be used for war; that is an ironclad rule."

Having anticipated this situation, Uchiha Gin still shook his head resolutely.

"Then we'd rather not have this belt."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's words, everyone frowned as if waking from a dream. They had been blinded by the powerful strength of the Tailed Beast Riders and almost forgot what the village's original intention was to possess the Tailed Beasts.

Isn't it all so that we have our own trump card in the event of war?

To abandon weapons that could turn the tide of war for the sake of a belt is putting the cart before the horse and unnecessarily shackles oneself.

"Oh? Are you sure you don't want it?"

"What use would I have for this belt?"

The group shook their heads in unison, then put away the scrolls in their hands, preparing to return them to Uchiha Gin.

"When fighting Tailed Beasts, Tailed Beast Riders can apply to be unleashed and join the battle!"

"this"

The group was taken aback by his words, and immediately frowned in thought.

After a long pause, the quickest-thinking Mu was the first to raise his hand and speak to the composed Uchiha Gin.

"We, the Hidden Stone Village, want that belt!"

After carefully analyzing Uchiha Gin's words, he extracted some information that made him determined to accept the belt that they considered a shackle.

During wartime, Tailed Beast Riders cannot use the power of the Tailed Beasts in combat, but the user can still participate in battle as an ordinary ninja.

If the enemy uses tailed beasts as combat power, the two tailed beast riders on our side can openly join the war.

Tailed Beast Riders with ninja training are far superior to indiscriminate and brutal Tailed Beasts on the battlefield, turning the tide of battle in the blink of an eye.

"Wait a minute, wouldn't a village with only one tailed beast be at a huge disadvantage?"

Shamon also understood the hidden meaning in Uchiha Gin's words, and his face turned ashen as he complained, "What if the other side releases two tailed beasts at once? Wouldn't our Sunagakure village, with only one knight, be unable to withstand the attack?"

Anyone who sees the prison cell of Shamen knows the true value of a tokusatsu show where one person fights two.

"Who told you to be poor?"

Taking advantage of the situation, the man with the mustache added insult to injury, then turned to look at Uchiha Gin and said...

"We're taking Kirigakure too!"

Hozuki Gengetsu's idea was simple: if Iwagakure had a Tailed Beast Rider, Kirigakure had to have one too. As men, they absolutely couldn't lose face.

"Get one for me too!"

Everyone has one, but the monk thinks it's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, so he might as well keep it as a keepsake.

"Oh? You'd better think this through. Once you sign the contract, you can't go back on your word."

Seeing the three people's attitudes change drastically, Uchiha Gin touched his rabbit ears, giving them one last chance to choose.

"No regrets!"

The three of them said in unison.

"Alright then~"

Since everyone was so eager to become a knight, Uchiha Gin naturally wouldn't spoil the mood. So, he raised his hand, and three dark gaps quietly appeared above the heads of the three people.

"Thump~"

A sound of something falling rang out, and the group instinctively caught the falling items.

"It really is a belt!"

The three looked at the simple gray box in their hands with delight, their hearts filled with excitement, wishing they could go back now and have a deeper conversation with the tailed beasts in the village.

"Don't you want it?"

Just as the three were happily playing with their new toy, Uchiha Gin found Kinkaku, who was taking care of the Two-Tails.

"Who exactly are you?"

Knowing the origin of his younger brother's driver, Golden Horn scrutinized the rabbit knight before him with a complex expression, trying to find some familiar traces in him.

"Don't ask such private questions yet, your brother's about to burst!"

Noticing Kinkaku's strange gaze, Uchiha Gin changed the subject, pointing to Ginkaku who was panting on the ground.

"Please, please save him!"

With his younger brother's life at stake, Golden Horn disregarded whether the person before him was the one he was looking for and immediately performed a classic prostration.

"There's nothing we can do; he's the tester, after all."

Uchiha Gin naturally couldn't just stand by and watch Ginkaku be drained dry by the Two-Tails in prison, so he raised his hand towards him, and a black mist carrying lightning emerged from his hand, which completely enveloped him in the blink of an eye.

"It's you! It's you!"

The Two-Tails, which was consuming Silver Horn's life force, was suddenly enveloped by a familiar chakra. In a daze, it remembered the human with the salted fish-like expression and immediately shouted in surprise.

"Little kitty, it's time to go back to your bed and sleep when it's light out~"

Having activated the seal he left on the card, Uchiha Gin chuckled and stuffed the power of the Two-Tails back into the glittering Tailed Beast Card.

The group, who were examining the new toy, were also drawn by Two-Tails' scream and turned to look at it with curiosity.

When he saw Uchiha Gin turn the arrogant Two-Tails into a card in his hand with a wave of his hand, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

This mysterious knight is actually able to suppress tailed beasts.

"And you, are you just going to stand there and wait?"

After quickly subduing the Two-Tails, Uchiha Gin turned his gaze to the Seven-Tails, who was quietly observing from the side.

"I'm leaving now!"

Startled by Uchiha Gin's mocking gaze, the Seven-Tails hurriedly flapped its wings and flew into the sky; its severed rear end was still throbbing with pain.

"This contract also applies to you. Don't try to start a war. Becoming a wanderer is not a bad thing."

Upon hearing Uchiha Gin's warning words, the Seven-Tails flapped its wings even faster and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

With Kakuzu, the money-grubber, keeping the Seven-Tails in check, it's highly unlikely that it will cause any major scandals. Instead, it might become an unpaid 007-like beast.

As the Two-Tails reverted to its original form, Ginkaku's belt returned to its simple, unadorned appearance, and his heavy armor dissipated into particles.

Jinjiao picked up his pale-faced younger brother and checked his injuries. Fortunately, he was only exhausted, as if he had used hairspray thirty-six times in a row.

"We are deeply grateful! If there is anything we brothers can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Helping his weak younger brother to his feet, Golden Horn Tiger's eyes were filled with tears, his face brimming with indescribable gratitude.

"Here you go. I've covered everything I needed to say. Remember the contract we made earlier? You all have to abide by it too."

Looking at the Gold Horned King, who had grown into a fully-fledged melon vendor, Uchiha Gin sighed with emotion, then took out another transformation device and threw it over.

"Who are you."

With the new transformation device in hand, Kinkaku was startled upon hearing Uchiha Gin's inexplicable words. He quickly looked up, his eyes filled with shock in addition to gratitude.

Everything that needed to be mentioned has been mentioned; he really is...

"Shh~"

Seeing that the other party had guessed something, Uchiha Gin put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture. Kinkaku, understanding the implication, suppressed his excitement and said nothing more.

"Excuse me, sir, how can I successfully transform?"

After fiddling with the transformation device for a while, Hozuki Gengetsu and the others approached with eager expressions, trying to ask for a copy of "Rider Transformation Guide".

"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you."

As the most professional referee of the Knights' Battle, Uchiha Gin generously shared the two transformation methods he had previously taught to the First Raikage with these newbies, hoping they could make the right choice.

Meanwhile, the Konoha group watching from the treetops, after witnessing the mysterious man's bizarre methods, couldn't suppress their restless fighting spirit and were about to go down and exchange blows with the rabbit knight.

"Bean sack~"

How could Uchiha Gin allow the girls to beat him up? He knew that damage to a clone would be reflected back to the main body, so he quickly stopped them.

"Gintoki, that guy is clearly up to something. He's definitely trying to manipulate the tailed beasts of the various ninja villages using clandestine methods!"

Uchiha Hikaru, eager for a fight, never took his eyes off Uchiha Gin, who had transformed into a knight. He had even prepared a reason for the fight, fearing that he would be without a legitimate reason to start.

"Mr. Yin, shall we go and ask for a few belts?"

Compared to the warlike Uchiha Hikari, Uchiha Osamu had much more ambition. Seeing the belts that everyone in other ninja villages had, the thrifty girl always felt like she was missing out on a fortune.

"We don't have any tailed beasts, so those things are useless to us!"

"So we'll just keep watching, but what about the mission?"

Blocked by Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Hikaru sat on a treetop with a displeased expression, swinging her long, beautiful legs and angrily turning her head away.

"Haven't we already gotten the intelligence? Safety first!"

Seeing the girl's expression, Uchiha Gin smiled and patted her head, comforting her.

"On the way back, let's take a stroll around the capital of the Land of Fire. I'll buy you whatever you want then!"

"Mr. Silver!"

"Curly-haired baboon~"

"Buy them all, buy them all!"

Seeing the girls' eyes light up, Uchiha Gin, wiping his sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't go out and cause trouble, he didn't mind spending some rice to avoid trouble.

"That's all. Do you have any other questions? I'm in a hurry; I have other venues to attend to."

After explaining the two methods for becoming a Tailed Beast Knight to everyone, Uchiha Gin glanced at the group who were silently pondering and asked,

"Sir, I would like to ask, if one defeats a tailed beast and transforms into a rider, how can one reduce or eliminate the chance of the rider going berserk?"

Wu was the first to raise his hand. He had witnessed the scene after Silver Horn went berserk before, and the state in which he could not distinguish friend from foe still made him feel a little scared.

"Eliminating it is probably impossible, but reducing or suppressing it is still possible."

"Is it really true?"

"Yes, as long as the person undergoing the transformation has a strong will and outstanding mental energy, they can suppress the possibility of going berserk to a great extent."

As long as one has a high level of Yin Release chakra mastery, like the Uchiha clan with a massive amount of Yin Release chakra, one can easily subdue the tailed beasts that want to turn against them.

"Silver Horn is indeed not very good at illusion magic."

After hearing Uchiha Gin's answer, Kinkaku nodded with a gloomy expression.

"I see~"

"May I ask, sir, how do we transform since we in Sunagakure don't have Tailed Beast Cards?"

After hesitating for a long time, the monk raised his hand and asked,

"The Tailed Beast Cards were not created by me. If you want them, you can only find the person who issued the Tailed Beast Cards and learn their whereabouts from him."

If Shamon hadn't reminded him, Gin Uchiha would have almost forgotten that he hadn't yet taken Shukaku himself. He immediately looked troubled and slowly began to speak.

"You can't do anything about it either?"

"There's nothing I can do; it's not related to my major."

Uchiha Gin replied helplessly, and Shamon immediately frowned and remained silent.

As far as he knew, the Tailed Beast Cards were a free gift when purchasing a Tailed Beast, distributed by Gin Uchiha. He wondered if Mr. Gin would consider their past relationship and get one for himself as well.

"Is a knight's strength still linked to the number of tails a tailed beast has?"

A strange light flickered in Hozuki Gengetsu's eyes as he voiced his doubts.

"The strength of the Tailed Beasts definitely affects the Rider's strength, but sometimes, even Saitama might struggle against them!"

It's that classic data-driven moment again, but which serious team relies on data? In crucial moments, it's all about guts.

"Alright, our fun little lesson is coming to an end. Goodbye everyone!"

Seeing that everyone had no further questions, Uchiha Gin stood up and waved goodbye to them.

"May I leave my name?"

The group, who had never known how to address Uchiha Gin, quickly pressed him for an answer.

Uchiha Gin, having summoned the entrance to the Shadow Realm, turned to look at the expectant crowd. Several familiar names flashed through his mind, finally settling on a heart-shaped, magenta figure.

"Well, just call me Kamen Rider Decade~"

So, with his back to everyone, he raised one hand, lazily swung his arm, and answered softly.

"Thanks, Decade!"

Upon learning Uchiha Gin's name, everyone bowed deeply to him in unison, shouting,

"Haha, that's interesting. Well then, I'll tell you an extra little bonus: the destiny of knights is to fight, and the victor will receive an unexpected reward~"

Uchiha Gin, seized by a playful impulse, laughed and left behind a single sentence before disappearing into the deep black hole.

It's so exciting to show off before leaving!

After Uchiha Gin left, the expressions of the group, who had been united just moments before, changed drastically. They quickly moved away from each other, creating distance between themselves, their eyes filled with palpable hostility.

"Why are you staring at me, bandaged man!"

In the previous battle, Hozuki Gengetsu was the most severely injured. Even after using his Water Transformation Technique, his very essence was burned by the Two-Tails' Yin Release flames, resulting in a severe blow to his vitality and a reduction of half his strength. Seeing that Mu was staring intently at the belt in his hand, he couldn't help but curse.

"Hmph~"

At this moment, Mu was thinking about how to seize Hozuki Gengetsu's transformation device. Without the Tailed Beast Riders, Kirigakure was no match for Iwagakure.

"Now that we have information about the Seven-Tails, let's stop here and go back to report."

Having only the transformation device and no card, Shamon, who was already eager to return home, raised his hand and suggested...

Do you think you can leave?

Hozuki Gengetsu felt himself being locked onto by the aura of nothingness. He glanced at the cautious Shamon and said coldly,

"I agree!"

Just as the three were locked in a standoff, Golden Horn, who had settled his younger brother with the guards of the Black Prison, stood up, looked at the three men with swords drawn, and said loudly,

Upon hearing this, all three were taken aback. Logically speaking, the strongest village, Kumogakure, could have easily taken them down in one fell swoop, yet they were willing to give up such a great opportunity, which was truly baffling.

"What? If you're unwilling, our Hidden Cloud Village is ready to oblige."

Seeing that the three remained unmoved, Golden Horn snorted coldly, his aura still at its peak. The guards of the Black Prison behind him stood in neat rows, glaring at the group.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's part ways here."

Shamen was the fastest to escape, waking up his subordinates who had been knocked unconscious by Silver Horn, and hurriedly leaving this place of trouble.

"snort!"

Wu and Hozuki Gengetsu exchanged a glance, then also chose to wake up their unconscious subordinates, and the two groups left in opposite directions.

Seeing that no unexpected conflict had occurred, Kinkaku slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want these people to ruin Uchiha Gin's unknown plan.

In Kinkaku's view, the righteous Uchiha Gin must have some purpose in actively promoting the birth of the Tailed Beast Riders.

Assisting Mr. Yin is my duty, Jinjiao!

"Back to the village!"

"That's it? I wanted to see rivers of blood!"

Seeing the villagers leave one after another, Senju Itama, who had expected a post-credits scene, couldn't help but stomp his feet and loudly complain.

"Thump!!!"

Uchiha Gin gave the brat a sharp rap on the head without any hesitation.

"If a child becomes obsessed with bloodshed and violence at a young age, he will only grow up to be a scum of society."

"Waaaaah~"

"Ah Yin, are we just going back like this?"

They had agreed to come and fight with guys from other ninja villages, but after eating local delicacies for several days, they ended up sitting here watching a show before heading back home. All of this was hard for Uchiha Hikaru to accept.

"Otherwise, with the information on the rogue ninja and the whereabouts of the Seven-Tails, our mission can be considered a complete success."

With a relaxed smile, Uchiha Gin spread his hands towards the bewildered girl.

"Let's enjoy the rest of the time!"

"Yay!"

"It's good that it's forbidden!"

The people from the major ninja villages left the Land of Waterfall without stopping, glancing back as they ran, fearing they might be followed and attacked. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they reached their own territory.

Looking at the transformation device in their hands, which exuded a mysterious aura, a glint flashed in their eyes. They all secretly resolved that next time they met, they would definitely make others look at them with new eyes.

Hidden Rock Village

"Lord Ishigawa!"

"No, you're back so quickly. Where's Nanami?"

"Forget about the Seven-Tails, quickly take out the Tailed Beast Card that Konoha gave us!"

One of them flew back to Iwagakure first, carrying the transformation device, and found his master. Without saying a word, he demanded that the master find the Tailed Beast Cards.

"Tailed Beast Cards, what do you need those for?"

"I will become a knight and participate in the destined battle!"

Hidden Mist Village

"Phantom Moon, when did you get back?"

Gui looked at Hozuki Gengetsu strangely as he rummaged through the warehouse. Judging from his disheveled appearance, he must have just returned from out of town.

"The cards! Where are the Tailed Beast cards?"

"Oh, you mean that one? It's with me!"

Katsura immediately pulled out two gleaming gold Tailed Beast cards from his wallet and waved them in front of Hozuki Gengetsu.

"Give me!"

Hozuki Gengetsu pounced like a vicious dog and snatched a card from Katsura's hand. Looking at the slug blowing bubbles on the card, he grinned so wide his mouth stretched to his ears.

"Six-Tails, I've got this in the bag!"

"That was given to me by my teacher!"

Gui was anxious. He had fallen in love with the two Tailed Beast Cards the moment he saw them, and then he begged and pleaded with Bai Lian to give them to him.

"Don't be stingy, here's some as compensation!"

Hozuki Gengetsu had no ill intentions towards his junior brother. He tossed the extra transformation device to him and happily held the Saiken card.

Yunyin Village

"Has Silver Horn gone berserk again?"

The First Raikage, who was having a meeting with Xiao Ai, looked at Kinkaku, who had come alone to report, and asked with a furrowed brow,

These two brothers are inseparable, sharing everything from eating and drinking to using the restroom. Unless one of them has an accident, it would be impossible to separate the duo.

"Yes, some unexpected things happened during the search for the Seven-Tails."

Kinkaku recounted what had happened, but concealed the true identity of the mysterious knight, Decade, only saying that the other party possessed many transformation devices of unknown origin, but unlike Uchiha Gin, he could not make cards.

"Seriously, such a thing happened!"

The two Ai sisters exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Lord Raikage, please give me the Eight-Tails Card."

Are you sure?

"I can't just stand by and watch Silverhorn fight alone."

Sunagakure Village

"This little thing can allow humans to unleash the full power of a tailed beast?"

Retsuto rested his chin on his hands, looking at the gray transformation device that Shamon handed him. His tone was not one of doubt, but rather one of shock.

"Other villages should have already started making Tailed Beast Riders."

Shamon, who knew the power of the Tailed Beast Riders well, looked at the First Kazekage with deep concern.

"But the Tailed Beast Cards"

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. My family has the transformation device but no card, so how can we keep up with the pace of the other villages taking off?

"Let the sealing masters in the village speed up their research first."

Sunagakure is not without its own sealing techniques, otherwise Shukaku would not have been sealed until now. Therefore, Shamon decided to first try to create his own in seclusion and see if any miracles would happen.

"If I can't make it, let me ask Mr. Yin for help."

"That weirdo Uchiha?"

"Lord Retsuto, please don't slander Mr. Gin like that. He is a rare person of great love in the ninja world."

P.S.: All future Jinchuriki will be replaced by Tailed Beast Knights. Guess who the Fox God will be? (End of Chapter)
