Chapter 610 Extra 5: Fu Chapter

What would my life be like if I hadn't met Suzumiya Musashi?

When I am alone, I often ask myself this question.

As I recall, it was in the Geomagnetic Demon Swamp of the Land of Earth that that reckless but powerful fellow first came into my sight.

Weird. That's my take on the green tights.

But I don't hate it. This is what I thought after seeing Suzumiya Musashi's eyes.

I am sure that anyone with such eyes must have a pure and warm heart.

So, even though we met by chance, even though I didn't know him at the time, I still helped him without hesitation.

I'm awesome! Of course, this has nothing to do with my desperate need to make friends! Absolutely not!

We ran all the way and ran all the way.

With Tenten, with Karin, and with Shiro.

Three little girls and a young man, what a strange team.

Oh, by the way... Bai is not a little girl. Although he is prettier than many little girls I have seen, after repeated confirmation, Bai is a young man.

Tut tut...

Sure enough, as long as you run out of Takinin Village and take a walk, you will find that the world outside is so big and has everything.

Shiro, who is more gentle and beautiful than any girl, quickly became my friend, just like Tenten and Karin.

So happy!

My great plan of making a hundred friends has made great progress not long after I stepped out of the village. At this rate, won’t I be able to make a hundred friends within a month?

I'm awesome.

We were together every day, and it was such a wonderful time. We camped together, had picnics together, watched the sunrise together, and practiced together. I didn't need to practice, but watching them practice was so much more fun than being alone.

Bai can actually sew clothes. He is such a perfect boy. I wonder which lucky girl he will be the son of.

Tiantian’s psychic beasts are really interesting, especially the yellow-haired mouse, which makes people want to rub it just by looking at it.

Karin is even more interesting. She's a girl, yet she trains like a boy. Isn't she afraid of becoming a muscle monster? I wondered, and after hearing her no, I continued watching.

You work so hard.

Karin is the most hardworking girl I have ever met.

I hope she can become a powerful female ninja as soon as possible.

We soon parted ways.

Looking back, happy moments are so fleeting. Is it because happiness is so fleeting that people crave it so much and consider it so precious?

Before we even parted, I couldn't wait to be together again.

Tenten, Karin, Shiro, and...Suzumiya Musashi.

snort!

She looked so proud, but in the end she was conquered by my enthusiasm and became my fourth friend! ~

As expected, when Lady Fu shows up, she's worth two! It's a piece of cake!

I'm leaving.

Feimo, that nasty guy, caught me and brought me back to the village. Although Feimo was very kind to me, I secretly decided to put more tea in his sleep-inducing milk at night.

I'll keep you awake!

I don’t know whether Feimo can sleep or not.

Anyway, I can't sleep.

After returning to the village, my plan to make a hundred friends had to be put on hold due to reality.

When will I be able to make more friends?

After a long, long wait, the opportunity finally came.

Joint Chunin Exam!

Although it is hosted by Sunagakure, one of the five major ninja villages, people from Konoha will also come.

Tenten, Karin, of course they will come too!

I am so excited!

When Feimo agreed to let me participate, God, I was so happy that I flew up.

If there weren't a few elderly people in the village, I would definitely shout to the sky to express my feelings.

Sand Village, here I come!

I am coming.

so many people.

There are so many people.

But among so many people, why is there no friend of mine?

I am so disappointed. Disappointed that I didn’t make new friends and disappointed that I didn’t meet old friends.

Tenten and Karin didn't come. People in Konoha said they were traveling with Musashi.

I was thinking, if I quit the Chunin Exam now and ask my two friends to go find Musashi, Karin and the others, is that possible?

Alas, it still doesn’t work.

Not only will Feimo go crazy, but there's no place for him. The ninja world is so big, how can I find a place?

Disappointment leaves me without strength, disappointment leaves me without food.

After finishing only a bowl of rice, I returned to the room.

Outside, ninjas from various villages were chatting and laughing.

None of them wanted to be my friend.

I just think they are noisy.

Karin, Tenten, Haku, and Musashi.

When will we meet again?

Maybe the Sage of Six Paths heard my prayers.

I never expected that I would meet Musashi again not long after leaving Sunagakure.

Although, at that time, I had just failed to make friends and was beaten up by two people, which was very embarrassing.

Although, Musashi, you are only my fourth friend.

But I am still very happy.

I am so glad to see you before I die. When I go to the King of Hell, I can hold my chest high and say to him proudly.

"My name is Fu, and I'm not a friendless person~"

"If you don't believe me, watch the replay. Before I died, some friends were sad."

and many more.

Musashi seems to be very powerful!

So, I don't have to die?

When Musashi's fist blew away the dust all over the ground and the two hateful people fled in all directions under his fist, I finally reacted belatedly.

The words Musashi said when they parted ways replayed in his mind.

"remember."

"Carrying a ninja dog with you is a sign that I am a friend of Suzumiya Musashi. If you encounter an ignorant opponent in the future, just hold up the ninja dog and announce my name."

"I guarantee you'll have smooth sailing."

It turns out that this is what he meant when he said it.

I was so touched.

I was so moved that I wanted to hug her regardless of my injuries.

Wait, Musashi's condition doesn't seem right!

Wait! What did Chongming mean? I don't quite understand.

If you don’t understand it very well, then that’s fine. I’m going to get on with it!

To help my friends, I would risk my life and go through fire and water for them. It is my duty!

Wait! Musashi, Musashi!

What are you doing!!! ~~~~~~

I don’t know when Hashirama Senju discovered the Konoha Village, but on that day, I really discovered a new world!

Wow! ~~~

In the countless nights since then when we haven't met, Musashi, this guy, seems to have appeared in my dreams more times than Tenten, Karin, and Shiro.

The three of them combined!

Was it because he knew about the other person's initial concern? Or was it because the other person saved him?

or……

Oh no! I can’t think anymore! Go to sleep!

However, no matter when I open my eyes or in my dreams, Musashi, oh Musashi, can you please be quiet and stop appearing in front of my eyes all the time~

Many years later.

The land of rain.

At the northernmost part of the Land of Rain, about a hundred miles away from the center of the United Ninja World Congress, there is a place with a very good natural environment.

The mountains and rivers are continuous and the scenery is endless.

There are also several bamboo houses and thatched houses, which look like a paradise.

This is the habitat specially reserved for the nine tailed beasts by the United Ninja Association headed by Suzumiya Musashi, and it was named the Tailed Beasts' House.

Although the area is not large, at least they are free. As long as they do not stray far from their habitats and affect human life, the tailed beasts can play and sleep as they please here.

The 'wild' tailed beasts are here, while the Jinchūriki are all under the dispatch and command of the United Shinobi Association.

If the tailed beast in the Jinchūriki's body feels suffocated, the Jinchūriki can come here and let the tailed beast have fun.

I usually like coming here.

The sky is high and the earth is vast, which makes me feel closer than tall buildings.

"Fu, why do you always stay here?"

"Aren't you used to living in Central City?" Suzumiya Musashi asked me this when he came to see me.

I'm not unaccustomed to it.

I like it too.

The central city where the United Congress is located is located in the center of the original site of the Rain Country. It is the economic and political center of the Ninja World. Countless people are scrambling to settle here and want to leave their names and footprints in this center of the Ninja World with tall buildings.

This is Musashi's masterpiece.

It is also his pride. Under Musashi's leadership, the development of the ninja world is getting better and better. I see it with my own eyes and I am proud of him.

How could I not like it?

"It's just that Chongming likes this place more, so I'll come here more often."

"By the way, Musashi, what happened to what you talked about last time?"

Suzumiya Musashi: "You mean traveling around the ninja world, right?"

"Okay. But you have to think it over carefully."

"Once you lose Chongming's power, it will be impossible to regain it."

"What do I need Chongming's power for?" I was very happy: "Chongming is also my friend. He prefers being here, but I prefer the outside world."

"Musashi, help me."

Suzumiya Musashi nodded: "Okay."

So, after filing it in Congress, Suzumiya Musashi asked Uzumaki Naruto to use the continuous power of Yang to provide me with vitality support, and the formation would return Chongming to heaven and earth bit by bit.

It hurts a little, but it's much less painful than when I was playing games with Musashi.

Two days later, Chongming and I separated for the first time.

Chongming reappeared under the sky of the ninja world with his own body, flapping his wings happily.

I am happy too.

Without the power of the tailed beasts, I finally became an ordinary person again.

Oh no! Not an ordinary person.

Musashi took me to practice for a period of time, and through various means, I quickly reached a strength close to that of a Jonin.

Musashi deliberately took the back door. My pass reads, "Fu - Former Seven-Tails Jinchūriki (tailed beast removed) - Kage-level strength (won the third-level merit in the Fourth Shinobi World War)..."

Well, thanks to this backdoor that the head of the National Assembly found for me, I can now roam the ninja world. Although I won't be with Shigeaki and Musashi as often, I will definitely have a more exciting life and more friends.

Friends of the Ninja World, here I come! ~~
