In the spacious underground plaza of the cave.
A perverted uncle was coercing a young boy to hold a spear, preparing to stab something.
So, what was Uchiha Shi doing at this moment?
He was watching the show.
To say he was watching the show isn't quite accurate, because he had his eyes closed. Strictly speaking, he was listening to the show.
A minute ago, when he was hung on the cross by Tōgō Hayato, he had already forcibly extracted the last bit of chakra from his dried-out body while conversing with Fugaku.
This last bit of chakra was not enough for him to use any powerful ninjutsu, nor could it allow him to pull out a forty-meter-long sword to kill the High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity, as Fugaku had suggested.
It wasn't even enough to activate his Sharingan.
But, it was enough to use an E-rank Rope Release Technique!
This technique, one of the most basic ninjutsu for a ninja, could be used to escape from ropes, making it a very practical escape technique.
While conversing with Fugaku, he quietly used this technique to free his left leg from the ropes.
He then took advantage of the moment when the High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity turned his back to perform seals at the shore, and kicked the scroll tied to his right leg.
The scroll flew up, Uchiha Shi, enduring the pain, stretched his neck and bit the yellow-covered scroll with his teeth, breaking the rope knot with his teeth, and unrolled the scroll!
Biting his tongue, blood flowed from his mouth down to the scroll!
Once he saw the secret text on the scroll gradually glow, Uchiha Shi immediately spat out the scroll, letting it fall into the pool of blood beneath him.
Fugaku saw the entire process.
But at Uchiha Shi's subtle glance, Fugaku cleverly remained silent, only continuing to exchange trash talk with Uchiha Shi to mislead the nearby High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity.
After that, Uchiha Shi closed his eyes and concentrated on establishing a connection with the scroll.
This scroll was the one Shennong had given him, containing the Zero-Tailed Beast.
In Uchiha Shi's plan, the scroll should have sealed a dark and evil chakra. Once he opened the scroll, the boundless darkness in his heart would immediately unleash a sea of dark chakra.
He would instantly enter a berserk state, activating Saiyan Mode!
Unlimited physical transformation!
Unlimited healing of his injuries!
Plus, an almost endless supply of chakra!
In this god-like state, similar to when Lu Mingfei beat the White King, Uchiha Shi could roar, "Something for nothing!"
Using the ultra-powerful Dark Ninja Art: Super Reactive Punch, he would punch the High Priest of the Cult of the Evil Deity to death!
He would rampage through the Cult of the Evil Deity like a bulldozer, using righteous flying kicks to strike evil as a heaven-sent hero!
He would earn Fugaku's admiring gaze, and if the chakra wasn't exhausted, he might even leap several kilometers to find Hozuki Suigetsu, who had slashed him three times, for a second round of intense battle.
But, there's always a 'but'...
What caught Uchiha Shi off guard was that, after the scroll activated, what emerged from it was a small, indescribable, black-purple flesh blob.
"Squish!~"
The small flesh blob poked its two white eye holes out of the blood pool, cautiously looking up at Uchiha Shi, who had opened his eyes slightly.
Uchiha Shi: "."
The atmosphere became very awkward.
The immense disparity between his invincible stance in his imagination and the reality of summoning a blob of shit left Uchiha Shi speechless.
At this moment, he wished he could drag his cheek and light up ten cigarettes, taking a deep puff, not exhaling smoke rings, but his frustration!
It was only then that he recalled what Shennong had told him at the time.
Back then, the old man had a solemn face, pressing the scroll into Uchiha Shi's hand and emphatically saying, "This is the Zero-Tailed Beast, a very terrifying Zero-Tailed Beast!"
What Uchiha Shi had never expected was that Shennong would actually be so generous and really give him the Zero-Tailed Beast.
It wasn't a one-time consumable item, but the real Zero-Tailed Beast!
The small, black-purple flesh blob in front of him was indeed the genuine Zero-Tailed Beast, with a black-purple tail curled up like a thesis, and four red spikes on its black-purple head, which could be either antennae or hair, topped with a solemn white mask.
It looked very spirited!
However, this version was even more ridiculous than getting a Lamborghini model car with a knife purchase!
The real Zero-Tailed Beast was several dozen meters long, coiled around the Sky Shinobi Fortress, and could shatter a large truck with a single tail swipe.
But the Zero-Tailed Beast in front of him...
"Chirp chirp~!"
Under Uchiha Shi's intense gaze, the little creature enthusiastically demonstrated its ability, stretching out a finger-sized tail to create a three-centimeter-high splash on the surface of the blood pool.
Then, losing its balance, it tumbled headfirst into the blood pool.
Uchiha Shi was left speechless again.
He had been ready to transform into a Saiyan, waiting for the chakra to activate and enter a desperate fighting mode.
But now he was told that what he had wasn't the Zero-Tailed Beast's chakra, but a juvenile Zero-Tailed Beast.
Was he supposed to raise a Pokémon in such a critical moment?
This was not the right vibe!
Uchiha Shi raised his head slightly and glanced at Fugaku, who stood firmly in front of him, extending his hand protectively.
He sighed, but couldn't help but smile, "Bro, it's not that I don't want to save you."
"It seems this is fate. I'm destined to be the heaven-sent hero with a five-billion-yuan script."
"You should sacrifice me by poking a few transparent holes in me."
"I won't blame you!"
After muttering this, Uchiha Shi really closed his eyes.
This time, he was truly waiting for death.
His body had reached its limit, his injuries were severe, and the last bit of chakra he had extracted was used for the rope release technique.
He had played his last card, but summoned a useless juvenile Zero-Tailed Beast.
He had already sacrificed everything for the greater good.
So, at this moment, it should be...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Uchiha Shi felt a tickle at the back of his neck.
"Squish~!" The little Zero-Tailed Beast scratched its head with its small tail, completely confused and unable to understand its master's thoughts, and climbed up Uchiha Shi's leg to his neck.
Then, it extended a tentacle-like hand and very politely lifted the white mask.
It opened a small, cherry mouth full of fangs, and snapped!
The next moment, a subtitle suddenly appeared before Uchiha Shi's eyes!
[You have become the Jinchūriki of the Zero-Tailed Beast (Juvenile).]
[You have learned Dark Chakra Extraction Technique (A) and Dark Awakening (A)!]
