To be fair though those areas also had aire popution of sage beasts living in it for hundreds if not thousands of years. It was also worth mentioning that the stretch of nd I was occupying was miniscule pared to thions so the speed at which I was "tainting" it was siderably faster. Besides these things though nothing happened during this past year. It was only after this time passed that something finally ged, my caterpilr started to break free of it's co. It had been in the damn thing for nearly two years now so I was almost getting worried.-

  "You said this thing had been ed up for how long!?" Karin excimed in shock after I brought her with me to watch the hatg.

  "Yeah it's an incredibly long time for any butterfly or moth species to be coed acc to all the records that we had on that type of i." I said calmly.

  "What kind of bug even is this then?" she asked curiously.

  I shrugged "we have no idea, none of the records we went over that went as far back as five hundred years ago mentioned anything quite like it. As far as we know it may be unique and the only one of it's kind." I said holy.

  "And you just randomly found it in the forest of death one day?" she asked but I shook my head.

  "It found me in truth, I merely chose to add it to my colle of beasts is all." I said holy.

  The co started to crack at this point so we went silent and watched. At first it was a small crack but as the creature within struggled and pushed it's way out the crack grew rger and rger to the point we could make out the wet fuzzy body within that was wiggling fiercely. -

  It took about an hour but eventually the thing freed itself and stood oside of it's co with pressed wings that were expanding fully as they dried. It was about four feet long with a wide fuzzy carapaced body possessing six legs and two long antennae on it's pound eyed head. The entire body had this stunning iridest rainbow colored "fur" on it that pulsed rhythmically like a breeze blowing through a wheat field starting at it's head.-

  On it's back were two vibrantly pearlest wings, white with bck lines running through it in stunning trast. The wings were also like normal for a moth much bigger than the rest of it's body extending up and behind it a good twelve or thirtee. It was also clear from the body that this was indeed a form of moth but the stunning part for me was the undeniable presence of sage chakra within it. How could I possibly miss it's presence when it was eerily simir to what stantly flowed within my self. It was so simir in fact that I for a brief moment sidered if this was a mitosis e of miaking the form of a moth.-

  "It's beautiful!" Karin said mesmerized by the creature.

  "It is indeed quite the sight to behold. It's powerful too, a bit below shiro if I'm not mistaken. What a monster." I said grinning widely.

  I holy couldn't care less about whatever ability it had with this sheer quantity of chakra, SAGE chakra at that meaning it was easily S rank in power even without one. If it had a powerful ability as well then it may even repce Shiro as my most powerful beast.-

  I didn't press my newly emerged beast for details as I knew from plenty of studying that it took a period of time for a newly emerged moth or butterfly to adjust to their ate. Adding versation aail gathering work to that would merely slow this matter down so I was satisfied waiting for it to initiate the versation. Well I say versation but even though my beast had clearly bee a sage beast it definitely couldn't speak yet so it would be more me asking questions and transting the response via my odd sage powers.-

  Katsuyu was a well of knowledge oter of sage beasts which was how I discovered that they were a whole hell of a lot rarer than I had inally thought. See there was two ways that a sage beast came about, the first was that a sage helped a chakra beast to learn how to utilize natural energy. The seethod was for a chakra beast to either mutate in such a fashion that they could sense and thus utilize natural energy or if they were born able to se due to a mutation before birth rather than after.-

  Acc to Katsuyu new sage beasts while possessing the same level of intelligence as a human had to learn how to speak over time through experimentation with eae learning how through a differehod based on their biology. Katsuyu for example apparently exhaled air that she vibrated within her body to imitate speech since as a slug she obviously didn't have vocal cords. The toad sage beasts croaked to speak while the snake sage beasts hissed to do so. Obviously chakra beasts could also learn to speak if they were smart enough as well but it was different in that case as those were the exceptions rather than the rule.-

  ALL sage beasts could learn to speak which was what separated them from most chakra beasts other thaural energy use of course. Anyways it took my bug nearly three hours to adjust to it's ate and finally start moving away from it's co. During that time Karin and I had been talking about what we wanted for the future and her idea retty standard to be ho. She wao bee the best mediinja in the world like my sensei, get married and have a few kids while living happily ever after.-

  I wished her lu that while sharing the fact that I didn't really have any pns for the future, not even basies like hers. Sure I robably going to keep colleg chakra beasts and reag for my full potential but I didn't really have an aplishment I wao do. I already succeeded in having the most impressive colle of chakra beasts in the world so I retty much just living day by day doing as I pleased.
