With the massive influx of people, even though Konoha had turned the old residential homes into high-rises, it still could not keep up with such rapid development.
After all, Yuu's private territory alone occupied more than half of central Konoha.
And after so many expansions, Konoha naturally had several gates as well.
Konoha's northern gate was where Konoha's original entrance had once stood.
At this moment, the area was packed with onlookers, their eyes brimming with excitement.
"Roar!!!"
The Nine-Tails, the Eight-Tails, and the other six Tailed Beasts looked out at the world beyond the gates, tears nearly streaming down their faces.
How long had it been? Just how long?!
How long had it been since they had seen the outside world?!
Sure, they had been sealed inside Jinchuriki before, but how could that compare to the suffering of their current lives?!
They had worked for Saiki Yuu day and night, and one wrong word would earn them a vicious beating!
They were Tailed Beasts! Natural disasters of the Shinobi World! The ultimate weapons of the great hidden villages!
And yet? They had actually fallen this low!
Still, that brutal man had kept his word.
Their vacation! It had finally arrived!
"Roar!!!"
"What are you roaring about?!"
The Nine-Tails, the Eight-Tails, and the others immediately swallowed their excited roars.
"L-Lord Yuu?! W-Why are you here?"
The Nine-Tails, the Eight-Tails, and the others watched that familiar figure slowly approach and asked stiffly.
"Ah! Lord Yuu!"
"Lord Yuu actually came!"
"Lord Yuu, let me die for you!"
At that moment, the surrounding crowd noticed Yuu as well and immediately erupted into excited screams.
"Hello, everyone."
Yuu smiled kindly and waved at the onlookers.
"Ah! Lord Yuu is so gentle!"
"Lord Yuu is so approachable!"
"Who dared slander Lord Yuu as cruel?
