Chapter 24: Myoboku Zoo
【Thank you Fenghe Qingkong for the gift! (*๓´╰╯`๓)♡】
Time flies
Distance from that earth-shattering battle
Nearly several decades have passed.
A lot has happened in the world over the past few decades.
The most striking thing is that the Manji Sage has become the orthodox and mainstream belief in the world!
The reason was simple: before that great battle, the surviving civilians had followed the divine decree of the immortal Wanci before they began to evacuate.
What happened next further strengthened the faith of ordinary mortals in the Immortal Wanci!
Those villagers who heeded the divine pronouncements ten thousand times escaped the aftermath of the battle.
Manji Temple is growing bigger and bigger, and more and more of them are spreading all over the world!
With the disappearance of the two major faiths, the Divine Tree Faith and the Goddess Kaguya, the faith of Manji naturally became the mainstream in the world.
There were even 10,000 religions.
Of course, Feather Robe also deserves credit.
Over the years, Hagoromo has frequently displayed his divine power and spread his benevolent faith. As Manji's disciple, Hagoromo also refers to himself as Manji's personally taught disciple.
This has once again fueled faith ten thousand times.
When an old belief dies, it means a new belief is emerging.
Kaguya, the goddess, disappeared, and was replaced by Manji.
...........
"You stinking fox! How dare you mock my sand for being ugly? I'll flatten you!"
"Don't think that having more tails means you're the strongest. I may only have one tail, but I'm not afraid of you!!!"
One-Tailed Shukaku exploded with sand particles, transforming into a giant sand fist several meters high, which smashed towards Kurama's head.
"Hmph, that's for sure! Look at your sand, it's as coarse as a toad's foot skin."
Unlike my nine-tailed fox, its fur is fluffy and soft, clearly top-quality!
Having said that, the Nine Lamas nimbly dodged to the side.
"You're asking for it!"
"I'll show you what the power of Lord Shukaku really is!"
Enraged, Shukaku unleashed its Sand Release technique, instantly raising several sand walls that surrounded Kurama, with sharp spikes standing on the sand walls!
Kurama scoffed disdainfully, his chakra surging as he slapped the sand apart with his claw: "Is that all the tricks you have? Watch me blast this worthless sand into dust!"
"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! Master Manji will be angry!"
The eight-tailed Gyūki charged forward, swinging its octopus tentacles, trying to pull the two apart, but its tentacles were scratched by Shukaku's sand spikes, causing it to howl in pain.
"Hey! Don't drag me into your fight!"
Eight-tailed creature quickly rolled to the side.
Matatabi, the Two-Tails, perched on a large tree nearby, flicking its fiery tail as it watched the spectacle, occasionally commenting, "Shukaku's Sand Release is too slow again, and Kurama's claws are too tedious. It's boring."
The four-tailed Son Goku, holding a gourd of wine, shook his head as he drank: "We're all tailed beasts, why not have a couple of drinks and chat about life instead?"
The five-tailed Kokuo, the six-tailed Saiken, the seven-tailed Chongming, and the three-tailed Isobu formed a circle, watching a grand show. Isobu would occasionally slap its paws, splashing water everywhere.
Shukaku and Kurama fought, but the result was definitely that Shukaku lost to Kurama.
"Kurama, you're finished! I'm going to tell Master Manji!"
After saying that, Shukaku took off running towards Manji's room!
"Shukaku! You can't accept defeat!"
Upon hearing this, Kurama's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to stop Shukaku.
"Heh heh, now you're scared?"
Shukaku chuckled and mocked Kurama before quickly running to Manji's door.
While the two were still hurting each other.
Gamamaru walked out of Manji's room.
"Stop it, all of you!"
In an instant, the scene fell silent.
Gamamaru scanned the group of tailed beasts, then pointed to the room where Manji was behind him and spoke menacingly:
"The eldest brother of Mount Myōboku is taking a nap inside. Which of the fearless tailed beasts would dare to take a step forward?!"
Upon hearing this, all the tailed beasts immediately became obedient.
The tailed beasts both respected and feared Wanji.
They thought they were very strong, but in Wanci's hands, they were no different from babies.
Suddenly, the door was opened.
"Who awakens first from this great dream? Only I know the truth of my own life..."
Wanci, who had just woken up, slowly walked out of the house dressed in blue.
Wanci glanced up and saw the nine tailed beasts.
A slight tremor ran through my heart.
Over the past few years, I have been teaching these tailed beasts, naming them just like in the original story, and becoming their teacher.
"Sigh, Mount Myōboku is practically a zoo; you can find all sorts of creatures here..."
He glanced at the nine tailed beasts ten thousand times.
Tanuki, nine-tailed fox, octopus, turtle, insects, gorilla... Wow, we could open a zoo on Mount Myōboku!
"Teacher Manji!"
Upon seeing Manji appear, Kurama and Shukaku shouted in unison, and then immediately began to complain about each other.
"Teacher Wanci, this stinky fox provoked me first!" It said my sand was ugly and that I was a country bumpkin covered in sand!
Shukaku spoke first, her voice sounding aggrieved.
"Nonsense! I didn't!" Kurama immediately retorted, "I'm just stating the facts. Your sand is naturally coarse! And you were the one who attacked me first with sand magic!"
"I was acting in self-defense!"
"You mocked me, so of course I'll teach you a lesson!"
Shukaku stiffened its neck.
"You're just being petty!"
Nine Lama retorted, not to be outdone: "I just told you the truth, and you're already throwing a tantrum, like a punching bag!"
"You're the one who should be criticizing me! Your tail looks like a mop!"
"You little clod of sand, how dare you talk about my tail?"
The two started arguing again, spittle flying everywhere, and the tailed beasts nearby quickly retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Hearing this countless times gave him a headache, and he couldn't keep a straight face.
Only after living ten thousand times a year can one's mind become very calm and thus lose anger.
What kind of reaction did Nine-Tails and Shukaku have? It was like that in the original story, and it's like that now.
Gamamaru sidled up to Manji, squatted down and cracked sunflower seeds: "Master, look at these two, they've been the same for decades, they fight as soon as they see each other, like two children who haven't grown up."
Wan Ci rubbed his temples helplessly and looked at the two of them: "You two, tell me, what exactly happened?"
Shukaku hung its head in grievance: "Lord Manji, I wanted to tidy up my sand and make it into a nice shape today, but Kurama came by and laughed at my sand for being ugly. I was so angry that I argued with it, and then it provoked me, so I took action."
"I did not provoke you!"
"I just casually said, 'The sand isn't very good,' and it started throwing sand at me. I couldn't just stand there and let it hit me, could I?"
"Nine Lamas retorted."
"You're mocking me!"
"I don't!"
"You have!"
"No!"
The two started arguing again, and Manji's brows furrowed more and more as he looked at the size of the tailed beasts.
"Considering the time, shouldn't we send them outside?"
Wanci pinched his fingers, thinking it was about time.
