Six-Tailed White Fox

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host, the Three-Tailed Fox has successfully evolved into a Six-Tailed Fox."

Xian Yu was jolted awake early that morning by the system's voice.

"Bai Xiaoqi has finished evolving? Today is truly a double blessing." Xian Yu sat up in bed with a start, joyfully pressing the summon button.

A circle of black runes rapidly emerged on the bedroom floor.

"Why does the range of these runes feel a bit large this time..."

Staring blankly at the black runes covering the entire room, Xian Yu suddenly realized something, his face turning deathly pale in an instant! Too panicked to even change his clothes, he leaped up in his pajamas and dashed downstairs at top speed.

At that moment, Shinozaki Ayumi was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

"Ah~" Shinozaki Ayumi let out a cry of surprise as she was scooped up by the waist, but Xian Yu ignored her entirely, kicking through the window and charging straight out.

"??? Young Master??" Shinozaki Ayumi was completely bewildered, wondering what had happened as she was carried away in a princess carry.

"Boom!" The house behind them collapsed instantly. A giant fox with a body length of 25 meters and six tails stretching over 30 meters, its fur as white as snow, lay sprawled where the house had been reduced to ruins.

Nearly crushed to death by his own summoned beast... Xian Yu's mouth twitched as he muttered, "Ayumi, I think I've done something incredibly stupid..."

It was indeed stupid; he should have anticipated that Bai Xiaoqi's size would increase again. Even if he hadn't, he shouldn't have summoned her in the room at her previous size.

"You... Young Master, is that Bai Xiaoqi? Our house..." Ayumi looked back and was left stunned.

At the same time, the Anbu of Konoha were rapidly converging on the scene. The sudden appearance of such a violent and massive surge of chakra in the village had instantly alerted the village's defensive forces.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, suddenly appeared on a nearby rooftop, looking solemnly at the ferocious white fox beast ahead.

Danzō Shimura arrived shortly after, looking somewhat suspicious and uncertain. "This... what is this..."

Before Xian Yu could even process the situation, three squads of Anbu had already surrounded Bai Xiaoqi.

Fortunately, they were still observing and had not yet taken direct action, as the giant beast before them did not seem to have any hostile intent.

"..." Bai Xiaoqi's head was still spinning. She had forced her way through the roof, and upon recovering and seeing the scene before her, her heart sank! Oh no! This was her master's home!

She was doomed... absolutely doomed...

Many people had been startled by the violent crash, and they now stared in horror at the giant fox that had suddenly appeared among the buildings in the distance.

"Uh... Lord Third... this was an accident." Xian Yu couldn't have been more embarrassed.

Seeing the situation, Hiruzen Sarutobi actually breathed a sigh of relief and immediately shouted orders: "Anbu, return to your posts. Police Force, calm the civilians. There is nothing more for you to do here."

The six-tailed white fox's body shrank instantly, returning to the size of a small beast that could fit in a palm, though this time it had six snow-white tails.

She approached Xian Yu and hung her head, looking like a child who had done something wrong.

"Uh... Danzō, we... hmm?"

It was only then that Xian Yu noticed a woman standing behind the Third Hokage and Danzō. She had long, grayish-brown hair tied in a bundle and was looking at him with concern.

"You little brat! You're the best at causing trouble. This time you collapsed your own house; next time, are you going to tear down all of Konoha?" Danzō scolded with a gloomy face.

Was a summoning beast of this level something that could be summoned inside the village?

After being thoroughly questioned by the Third Hokage and Danzō, Xian Yu prepared to take Shinozaki Ayumi and Bai Xiaoqi to stay at the Xingxin Internet Cafe for the time being, as there were several empty rooms on the upper floor.

Meanwhile, people from the Shimura clan were already beginning to clear and rebuild his original residence.

"That brat really did summon an even more powerful fox from Qingqiu Mountain." After returning to the Hokage Building, Danzō said with a grave expression.

The previous Three-Tailed Fox was powerful, but they hadn't taken it too seriously, as they still had the ability to suppress it.

But this time was different.

"That white-furred fox from just now... it felt very close to a Tailed Beast..." Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt the pressure.

If it were anyone else, and Danzō saw them possessing such a summoning beast, the Darkness of the Shinobi World would have already been shouting at the Third: "Hiruzen! Don't hesitate! Eliminate him! The threat is too great! If this power cannot be controlled, it is a ticking time bomb for the village! Everything is for the sake of the village!"

But as it happened, the boy was from his own circle.

"Hiruzen, this is a good thing, but we must restrict this kid in the future. He cannot be allowed to use that form of summoning beast in the village at will. Order everyone to keep today's events strictly confidential. Once this kid grows up, we won't have to worry about a lack of successors... Everything is for the sake of the village!" Danzō spoke with grandiloquence, like a loyal patriot.

In truth, Xian Yu's background was simply too good; it wasn't just a matter of Danzō wanting to protect him.

If it were anyone else—even a descendant of the Ino-Shika-Chō families who were loyal to the Hokage—and such an incident occurred, even if Danzō didn't make things difficult, the Third Hokage might have imposed restrictions for the sake of the village's safety.

But Xian Yu happened to be the child of his dear friend. That face had to be saved.

"Hiruzen, I think Xian Yu is a sensible child; he shouldn't act recklessly," the woman beside them couldn't help but interject.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at her with some surprise and nodded. "Let it be so. Pass the word down: today's Six-Tailed White Fox incident is classified as an S-rank secret! No one is to discuss it further."

"Yes! Lord Hokage." An Anbu ninja suddenly appeared in the empty space nearby, received the order, and vanished once more.

This was the Third Hokage's personal Anbu guard.

The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, had no personal guard because his own strength was unrivaled in the shinobi world.

The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, had trained six personal guards: Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzō Shimura, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Torifu Akimichi, and Kagami Uchiha.

As for the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had been thrust into the position during a crisis and had no time to train a personal guard, and later, his own strength was so great that he didn't need one. He had always used Anbu ninjas to guard his person.

Xian Yu and Shinozaki Ayumi arrived at the third floor of Xingxin, the top floor. Since it had been left vacant after the renovation, there was no furniture or supplies. Shinozaki Ayumi went out to do some shopping.

"Master... I didn't mean to." Bai Xiaoqi looked at her master, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Xian Yu waved his hand and said, "This was my fault. I just woke up and wasn't thinking straight, so I summoned you instinctively."

Because of this, he had wasted so much breath explaining things to the Third Hokage and Danzo. How could he explain why someone as weak as him was able to summon a beast of this caliber? Or why this Six-Tailed Fox and the previous Three-Tailed Fox could both change their forms at will? Xian Yu could only pin everything on the mysterious sacred ground of Qingqiu Mountain, claiming he knew nothing about it.

"Xiaoqi, is there anything different after evolving into a Six-Tailed Fox? Did you gain any new abilities? Your chakra levels feel terrifyingly high now, and your size has even surpassed Gamabunta's 17 meters, though you still don't compare to a true Tailed Beast like the Nine-Tails at 191 meters," Xian Yu said, looking at Bai Xiaoqi with anticipation.

"New abilities? I suppose so... Wind, Water, and Fire Release... my genjutsu has also been strengthened. And there's also... the members of my Qingqiu Fox clan who were at the three-tailed stage have all been brought into the Summoning Space... This is a summoning scroll evolved by the system..." As Bai Xiaoqi spoke, he spat out a white scroll, his emotions clearly stirred; he was finally no longer alone.

Ding-dong, due to Bai Xiaoqi evolving into a Six-Tailed Fox, the Summoning Space has upgraded to Lv2.
