Above Awaji Island, Iyo Island, Oki Island, Tsukushi Island, Iki Island, Tsushima Island, and Sado Island, the Hell Gates opened. Ferocious dark-red energy poured endlessly into the gaping mouths of the seven Ten-Tails!
Boom, boom, boom...!
The Ten-Tails rapidly swelled in size. From the seed structures on their backs, Divine Tree trunks shot skyward, quickly growing into towering trees!
Youtan Poluo was forcing the fruits to ripen through a brutal process, heedless of how much energy was lost!
Since there were only seven spacetimes, there were only seven hells, enough to support just seven Ten-Tails!
The Ten-Tails on Great Yamato Toyo-Akitsu needed another energy source: the Chakra Fruit Tongtong had just given Yu!
There was no other choice. The unity of opposites among the Eight Islands of Yomi required all eight Ten-Tails to grow simultaneously, so only a one-for-one exchange could fulfill that condition!

On Great Yamato Toyo-Akitsu, the Ten-Tails that had swallowed the fruit let out a piercing roar, dark-red light enveloping its entire body!
The Divine Tree rapidly grew and blossomed. Even the formation of its fruit... was completed in moments!
Yu's Great Lord God's Garment fluttered loudly, his Rinne Tenseigan blazing. "I thought we'd have to wait a long time. I never expected Yama to act so decisively. Back then, how long did we wait to cultivate a single fruit? Now we're about to harvest eight in an instant..."
Subichini said, "As they say, long accumulation leads to a sudden breakthrough, and quantitative changes bring about qualitative ones. Without everything you've built up until now, there would be no harvest today. In the end, you must seize opportunities for yourself..."
As she spoke, Subichini turned to Yu. "Have you decided how to distribute the fruits?"
"..." Yu clenched his hands beneath his golden sleeves.
