The Chance to Become a Perfect Jinchuriki

"Ding! The host has made a successful choice and completed the task. Reward acquired: Otsutsuki Clan Pill-Refining Ability. Please keep up the good work."

Feeling the Otsutsuki Clan Pill-Refining Technique in his mind, Senju Fujima's lips curled up slightly. He was fairly satisfied with the choice system this time. It hadn't screwed him over, which was quite a surprise.

"All right, everyone, you can leave!"

"Help the villagers rebuild their homes. Let everyone leave the shelters."

Seeing that everything was over, Madara Uchiha turned to the ninjas behind him and said.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Everyone bowed respectfully to the group, then turned and headed into the village.

"Big Brother."

"Big Brother."

At that moment, Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha came over too. They hadn't intervened when they saw Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha take action.

If Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju couldn't handle it, there would have been no point in the two of them getting involved.

"You're here? It's all over now. The two of you, lead the villagers in repairing the village!"

"What a hassle. I wonder who summoned the Nine-Tails."

Seeing Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha approach, Hashirama Senju shook his head. He was puzzled about who had summoned the Nine-Tails.

"Dad, I think it was probably Black Zetsu."

Senju Fujima stepped forward and addressed them. Aside from Black Zetsu, he couldn't think of anyone else who could control the Nine-Tails.

As the most powerful Tailed Beast, even half the Nine-Tails' strength was enough to beat up Gyuki. The full-powered Nine-Tails was on another level entirely.

In this era, aside from Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, no one could control the Nine-Tails. It was invincible.

Although Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were called gods, they weren't immortal. The Nine-Tails, on the other hand, was more like a god. It simply couldn't die.

Even if it died, it could come back to life. Even becoming the Ten-Tails was merely a matter of its original power being combined. That wasn't true death, either; it could fully revive by splitting apart again.

"Black Zetsu? You mean that person?"

Madara Uchiha furrowed his brow. Whenever he thought of that person, a fire inexplicably rose within him. He lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"It seems the book was right. Someone really is trying to target you two brothers."

"And he's definitely powerful. If we didn't have special abilities, we wouldn't have been able to subdue the Nine-Tails."

"His strength is unfathomable. We can't let our guard down!"

Hashirama Senju felt the same way. Remembering Black Zetsu and seeing his abilities—he could actually control the Nine-Tails—was simply beyond belief.

The Nine-Tails wasn't some minor threat. There probably weren't many people in the entire Ninja World who could stand against it.

"Looks like we'll have to speed up our efforts to upgrade the Rinnegan. This person is too dangerous."

"The Nine-Tails alone has already caused heavy losses to our village. If this happens a few more times, how will our village survive?"

"Hmph! I'll drag Black Zetsu out myself. I'll make him wish he were dead."

Madara Uchiha was furious. He wanted to destroy anyone who threatened his younger brother or the village's safety, and make sure they never recovered.

"Right, let's go!"

"We really do need to speed up our research. An enemy we can't see is the most terrifying kind. He could be right beside us, and we wouldn't even know it."

Hashirama Senju nodded in agreement, then glanced around.

He thought Black Zetsu might be somewhere nearby. Someone who couldn't be found, seen, or touched was truly impossible to guard against.

"Heh! We just need to pick up the pace. Let's head back first!"

Senju Fujima chuckled and took the lead, heading into the village.

Black Zetsu wouldn't be easy to deal with. If he didn't show himself, it would be hard to find him, so there was no point in searching for him on purpose. It would be meaningless.

When the time came, he would show up on his own. Senju Fujima wasn't worried about that.

"That kid isn't worried at all, is he? Heh."

Watching Senju Fujima, Izuna Uchiha smiled faintly.

"Heh, looks like us old-timers are the ones overthinking it. We'll meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth. Let's go!"

Hashirama Senju smiled at everyone, then set off.

"Hahaha...!"

The others followed, heading back to the village.

Before long, the villagers and ninjas of Konoha had joined in rebuilding the village. Working together with the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu, they activated Konoha's barrier, covering the entire village.

This was the result of their research over the past little while. They had formed the Barrier Squad, whose sole responsibility was to monitor and maintain the village's barrier.

"This barrier is pretty good. Anyone below the rank of jōnin who enters Konoha will be discovered immediately. Even a Kage Level powerhouse can only force their way in, and we'll still detect the enemy then."

"It's fairly useful. It can only withstand attacks from ordinary Kage Level opponents, though. We'll have to keep researching and strengthen it!"

Seeing the barrier before him, Hashirama Senju's lips curled up slightly. He tested it himself. The barrier was indeed good, but it still needed more research. There was no such thing as the best—only better.

"Let's go see the Nine-Tails! Without his cooperation, it'll be a bit difficult to draw on all his chakra. Heh!"

After returning to his room, Senju Fujima's lips curled up slightly as he murmured to himself.

"Ding-dong! The host's intention has been detected. God Selection System activating."

[Option One: Beat up the Nine-Tails and tame him, making him your pet. Task reward: Tailed Beast favorability -100.]

[Option Two: Release the Nine-Tails and tell him to beware of humans and hide. The host has a Body of Immortality, so the Tailed Beast won't die after leaving him. You can rest easy. Task reward: The Nine-Tails' favor, plus a special ninjutsu—Reverse Harem Jutsu.]

[Option Three: Become friends with the Nine-Tails and become sworn brothers. Task reward: Become a Perfect Jinchuriki, plus one additional special reward.]

Senju Fujima had only just said he wanted to see the Nine-Tails when the God Selection System activated again.

"Uh...! Beat up the Nine-Tails and get minus one hundred Tailed Beast favorability? That's no use."

After seeing the first option, Senju Fujima immediately dismissed it. It was completely useless, and he wouldn't get anything out of it.

"Pfft...!"

"Reverse Harem Jutsu? Is that the upgraded version Naruto used to make Kaguya Otsutsuki freeze up? That super-SSS-rank ninjutsu?"

An indecent image suddenly appeared in Senju Fujima's mind, nearly making him spit up blood.

"Better not. I'll pick option three. I wonder what the special reward is. I'm actually looking forward to it!"

"Take a gamble, and your bicycle might turn into a motorcycle."

"If option three doesn't give me anything good, I'll have taken a big loss. Just becoming friends with the Nine-Tails already makes me a Perfect Jinchuriki."

"All I can do is hope that so-called special reward is worth it."

Having made up his mind, Senju Fujima sent his consciousness straight into his Sealing Space.

"Drip... drip...!"

Senju Fujima appeared in front of the Nine-Tails. It looked like a sewer, with streams of water running through it. He had no idea why the Sealing Space had taken this form.

"That's it. Come on in. Come on in."

When the Nine-Tails saw Senju Fujima appear, a sly glint flashed in his eyes as he kept urging him to approach.

"Kurama."

Senju Fujima walked up to the Nine-Tails, looked up at the gigantic fox in front of him, and called out with a smile.

"Hm?"

"Why do you know my name? Who exactly are you?"

The Nine-Tails was stunned to hear Senju Fujima call him by his nickname. That was the name the Sage of Six Paths had given him. Aside from the other Tailed Beasts, no one should have known it.

How had Senju Fujima found out? Confusion flickered in the Nine-Tails' eyes, but above all, he was shocked.

"Heh, don't get worked up. I just want to chat with you. I don't mean anything else."

Seeing the Nine-Tails' reaction, Senju Fujima's lips curled up slightly.

"Hmph! Humans are always evil. I can sense an evil power inside you. It disgusts me."

The Nine-Tails sensed the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan inside Senju Fujima and the loathsome aura it gave off. He curled his lip.

Senju Fujima's words had touched something within him. The Sage of Six Paths had been like a father to them. He hadn't heard that name in a very, very long time, and a faint sadness flickered in his eyes.

"Heh, don't be like that. I just want to be your friend. Nothing more."

Looking at the Nine-Tails' expression, Senju Fujima seemed to realize that he was remembering something. He smiled.

"Hmph! A friend? Is this how you treat your friends?"

"If you want me to be your friend, then let me out first."

Hearing Senju Fujima say that, the Nine-Tails curled his lip and snorted.

"Let you out? It's not impossible, but you're not my friend, so I definitely can't let you out."

"You've killed so many villagers, after all. If I let you out, people would come after me!"

Hearing the Nine-Tails' words, Senju Fujima smiled. In a flash, he appeared on top of the Nine-Tails' head and sat down.

"Get off me, you brat! You think you can sit there?"

Seeing Senju Fujima sitting on his head, the Nine-Tails flew into a rage. He swung his right paw and swiped at him.

"Heh! Don't lose your temper."

Senju Fujima didn't move. A thick wooden vine suddenly appeared in front of them and caught the Nine-Tails' paw, stopping it completely.

"Wood Release?"

Seeing that Senju Fujima could use Wood Release, the Nine-Tails furrowed his brow, wondering what was going on.

"How can this person possess two kinds of bloodline? One is Asura's bloodline, and the other is Indra's."

"The two bloodlines have actually merged perfectly. How strange."

The Nine-Tails was naturally familiar with the Sage of Six Paths' two sons. He had sensed the power of the Uchiha Clan inside Senju Fujima from the start, and now he'd seen him use Wood Release. It was as if Asura and Indra had combined into one. The sight left him stunned.
