One-Tailed Shukaku, Four-Tailed Son Goku, Six-Tailed Saiken, and Seven-Tailed Chomei enhanced their origins by devouring life energy.
Before Hatake Sakumo could open his mouth, Shinki smirked and quipped, "That outfit looks great on you—very elegant."
Sakumo sighed heavily.
"Elegant or not, I already regret wearing it. Can it compete with your Hokage battle robe anyway?"
The two settled into a tavern, findin...
