“I am a Bijuu, I am the best. If you mess with me, I will kill you. I love my cows, but pigs are stinky. But Shiro likes their taste so I feed them to make them Chonky. La Lalala Laaaa…” Saiken was singing some messed up songs. But his cute voice gave the illusion that it was something positive. He was on his farm, milking the cows.

“Hehe, today I will make my newest creation. ICE CREAM!” He decided. He had the water release ability so it was easy for him to make ice. ​​

The village was at relative peace. The stupid wars of men didn’t have much effect on their lives.

Shiroken continued to visit the Ryuchi Cave and breath in Natural Energy, so he can continue to grow.

He still looked too young right now, along with his pretty face.

Shiroken wanted to build some muscles and look a little manlier. And the way Monari made him dress up didn’t help either.

[A/N: Don’t worry, he will stop looking so girly soon. Though he will keep long hair, just like in the cover.]

“Shiro, come here.” The White Snake Sage called Shiroken as he was heading out to return to the village.

He had struck up a very good friendship with all the snakes here. Although he had to first defeat them all. All except White Snake Sage. She refused to fight, stating that she’s lazy. But Shiroken doubted that she was unsure if she’d win.

He went to her, “What’s the matter, Aunty Snake?”

“Hey, I told you not to call me that. Call me Snake Sage. Seriously, I’m not even a human.” She complained.

“Neither am I,” Shiroken replied cheekily.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, she spoke, “*cough* Yes, I called you because I have an offer. You have been learning how to use Natural energy from me for the past few years. Although you are made of it, I taught you how to use it properly. Something those tailed beasts couldn’t.”

This was true. Shiroken was physically very strong, but he had no understanding of how to use his natural energy. The tailed beasts couldn’t help him as to them it came naturally. But Snake Sage had years of experience in teaching people how to channel natural energy.

Now, Shiroken was able to learn everything from the tailed beast. And as he was fully made of Natural Energy, he had no specific affinity. In other words, he had all affinities. He could produce any kind of element. It confused everyone how he was able to do it though.

“And? What do you want?” Shiroken asked her.

“I got a sword. I had sealed a snake in it. He was very troublesome and used to be not serious about anything. I want you to tame him, as he doesn’t even listen to me. I think only you can do it.” She asked him. Her reasoning was that Shiroken should be able to scare that snake away with so many tailed beasts around.

“Is that it? Give it to me. I will try to make friends with him,” he agreed.

Snake Sage threw a sheathed sword at Shiroken. “Be warned, Shiroken. He may be harmless to you, but his voice can be heard around. And his language is not very… Decent.”

“Why isn’t he speaking right now?” Shiroken inquired while looking at the sword. It had a snake-like pattern around its hilt.

“Boy, I’m assessing you to see if you’re even worthy of touching this mighty Snake. Hissss…” A voice immediately came from the sword. It sounded mature and deep, with a hint of cockiness.

“What is your name?” Shiroken kindly asked. He was a well-mannered kid after all.

“Huh, this snake does not deem you worthy of knowing my name.” The sword voiced.

Shiroken confusedly scratched his head.

“Just name him whatever you want. He’s worthless anyway.” Snake Sage suggested.

“Hmm, then… What should I name it? How about Chunchunmaru?” He thought.

Snake Sage shrugged, “Whatever you want. I’d even call it Chinchin if needed.”

“Hehehe… that’s bad. I can’t name my sword penis.” Shiroken embarrassingly laughed.

All the while the sword was getting hot in anger, “YOU OLD HAG! AND YOU STUPID BRAT. Both of you suck at naming.”

Shiroken calmly put the sword on the ground. “Then I don’t need you. I’m sure Gyuki can make me a new and better sword.”

Snake Sage sighed, “Ah… so I guess I will have to melt this sword and kill the snake with it. Too bad I expected him to change.”

Immediately the snake in the sword calmed down. He needed to get out of this cave, which was the only way to get away from death.

“Ahaha… I was just kidding. What a cute child you are, boy. My name is Tenken.” The sword introduced itself.

“Pfft… Heavenly Punishment? Isn’t this name a waste on you? Can you even cut a leaf?” Snake Sage mocked him. But he sucked it all up silently.

Shiroken was happy, “That’s so cool. My name is Shiroken. Our names rhyme with each other. Shiroken and Tenken. Let’s go. I will show you to my friends. Son Goku will like you, I assure you.”

“Bye-bye, Snake aunty.” He waved his hand and left the cave.

Snake Sage just sighed, not even bothering to correct him anymore.

…

Shiroken ran at full speed across the jungle, jumping from one tree to another. He was so fast that there wasn’t even a blur. Only Monari was able to track him vaguely with her Sharingan. Other than that, he was a very fast boy.

“HAHAHA… FREEDOM! YEAH BOY!” The sword was constantly laughing since they came out of the cave.

“Boy, I have decided to take you under my wing now. As long as you listen to me you can get my powers. Yes, I can make you very strong.” The sword tried to woo Shiroken.

Shiroken suddenly stopped, “Ha? Why would I follow you? You are just a sword.”

“I am a very powerful sword. I am the great Heavenly Punishment Snake…”

All of a sudden Shiroken just put the sword on the ground and walked a few steps further.

“If you are so strong then come to me by walking,” he demanded.

(=_=”)

There was a moment of silence, as the jungle breeze flew between them and some crows in the sky were cawing as if mocking the stupidity that was being shown here. The sound of leaves was there to remind time was still moving. Despite the lack of words, the message was clear that Tenken had messed up.

After waiting for a few minutes, Shiroken again picked it up, “See, you are nothing without me. Also, don’t you know me?”

“Who are you then? I only saw you today. That old hag had locked me in her treasure chest all this time.” He asked back.

“Umm, I am the lord of Dama village,” Shiroken said and again started running.

“Huh, what Dama village? Haven’t heard of it before. And what is this weird name, Dama…” Once again, the poison tongue of Tenken lashed out.

But it was bad luck for him. Because when he made this comment, Shiroken had just arrived at the village.

“Hmm? WHO DARES TO MOCK OUR LAST NAME?” All the tailed beasts ragefully asked and gathered.

The sword all of a sudden started to shiver and sweat. It was unknown how this phenomenon was even possible. The thick aura of all the tailed beasts combined was enough to scare anybody, what was a sealed snake in front of that.

Shiroken happily showed them the sword, “Kurama, look. Aunty Snake gave me this sword. She said she had sealed a naughty snake in it. I need to tame it so that I can use it on my enemies.”

Kurama with interest looked at the sword that Shiroken had just placed on the ground for all to admire.

“Ho? Is that so? So this sword is some big shot? Some powerful artefact? It looks weak to me…*SCRATCH*” Kurama slowly rubbed his claw on the sword.

“AAAA! Don’t violate me. I am ready to do whatever you want, O mighty fox.” Tenken started cowering in fear.

“Wasn’t it you who said Dama is a bad name?” Kurama asked monotonously.

The sword shivered, “No, no, Dama is the greatest name on the entire earth and heavens. Haha… Dama is the best. My name is the worst. Yes, call me whatever you want… ChunChunmaru, Chinchin, anything will do… I am a good snake, kind big fox.”

Shiroken seemed disappointed, “HEY! Why are you being such a wuss? Be strong, or I won’t take you with me. I don’t want to be made fun of because of a scared sword,”

“BOY! What are you doing? Quickly bow down to these mighty beings.” Tenken shouted at Shiroken.

*SCRATCH*

“AAAAAA… don’t kill me. I’m just a little harmless snake.”

Kurama scoffed, “Shiroken is our boy. We have nurtured him since he was a baby. You dare to disrespect him?”

~THAT KID! He didn’t tell me. He’s doing it on purpose, right?~

“Hehe… I did not know, master. I swear on my dear slimy snake life. Master… no… You are a lord. Lord Shiroken… please forgive this humble servant.”

~Save my life, please~

If Tenken had a body, he would probably be prostrating right now. But, Shiroken was a kind boy and Tenken hadn’t even done anything. He was just a loudmouth.

“Okay, but don’t talk bad about people of this village ever. They are my dear family. Or I will leave you back at the cave.” Shiroken warned him.

“Yes, yes… as Lord Shiroken says…. hurray… praise the Lord. You’re the best.” Tenken could only lick Shiroken’s feet to save himself, as the tailed beasts were glaring at him.

Gyuki then nodded, “Good, Shiro. You should start practising sword fighting now. Monari should be able to help. Remember, as much as your chakra training is important, your jutsu and physical training are just as important. Because someone without too much chakra and a lot of experience can still win over someone with no experience and too much Chakra.”

“I understand, Gyuki. I will start right now. Let’s go, Tenken, we will practice.” He took the sword with him.

…

“Will it be safe?” Saiken worriedly asked. He didn’t trust snakes much.

Kurama nodded, “I checked the seal over it. It’s unbreakable by any normal means. And the snake sealed isn’t that powerful either… at least not by Shiro’s standards.”

“Pheww… So there’s no need to worry now… I’m off to my farm then.” Saiken left.

“And I’m off to patrol from the sky,” Chomei flew away.

One by one, each tailed beast left to do their assigned job.
