You awaken with a sharp gasp, the scent of damp earth and ancient pine filling your lungs. Towering trees stretch endlessly overhead, their emerald canopy allowing only scattered beams of sunlight to illuminate the silent forest floor. The air is strangely still. No birds sing. No insects chirp. Only the gentle rustling of leaves accompanies your confused breathing.

As you rise to your feet, your attention is immediately stolen by a perfect circle of towering glass containers surrounding you.

Eleven of them.

Each crystal-clear chamber contains what appears to be a complete body suit—not clothing, but living skins, each crafted in the exact likeness of one of the legendary Tailed Beasts. They appear dormant, yet every so often a twitch, a pulse, or the slow opening of an eye reminds you they are very much alive.

The first holds the sleek Reibi, the Zero-Tails. A shadowy, charcoal-black creature with a serpentine body, pale mask-like face, and countless writhing tendrils extending from its back, radiating an unsettling darkness.

Next rests Shukaku, the One-Tail. A gigantic tanuki of sandy gold covered in intricate indigo sealing markings, with a massive striped tail and cruel amber eyes.

Beside it slumbers Matatabi, the Two-Tails. An elegant sapphire-blue cat engulfed in ghostly azure flames, sporting two flowing tails and glowing golden eyes.

The fourth chamber contains Isobu, the Three-Tails. An enormous turtle with a rugged shell covered in jagged spikes, coral-like protrusions, and three thick tails swaying lazily behind it.

Then comes Son Gokū, the Four-Tails. A towering crimson ape with powerful muscles, four thick tails, and dark volcanic armor plating covering parts of its body.

The sixth vessel houses Kokuō, the Five-Tails. A magnificent white horse-dolphin hybrid with five flowing tails, curved horns, and a body constantly venting wisps of steam.

The seventh contains Saiken, the Six-Tails. A colossal pale slug with six tails, soft blue coloration, tiny antennae, and a body coated in shimmering slime.

Floating peacefully within the eighth chamber is Chōmei, the Seven-Tails. A brilliant emerald rhinoceros beetle crossed with a dragonfly, boasting seven translucent wings and seven long tails.

The ninth prison contains Gyūki, the Eight-Tails. A monstrous fusion of bull and octopus, possessing enormous horns, a mountain of muscle, and eight colossal tentacles.

The tenth chamber radiates overwhelming power. Inside lies Kurama, the Nine-Tails. A majestic fox of blazing orange fur, piercing crimson eyes, razor-sharp fangs, and nine magnificent tails spreading like a living inferno.

Finally...the largest chamber dwarfs them all.

Within sleeps the Jūbi, the Ten-Tails. A towering pale monstrosity with charcoal markings, ten immense tails, countless twisted protrusions, a single colossal eye dominating its face, and an aura so immense it causes the surrounding forest itself to tremble.

As you stare, glowing runes ignite beneath every chamber.

A voice echoes through the forest—not loud, but impossible to ignore.

"These are not costumes."

"They are living parasites."

"To wear one is to invite it into your body."

"The suit will merge with your flesh... your muscles... your bones... your very soul. It cannot be removed."

"Your body will become that of the chosen Tailed Beast."

"Its instincts... emotions... desires... personality... memories... even its way of thinking... will slowly replace your own until nothing remains but the Beast itself."

"Whether you resist or embrace the change... the transformation is inevitable."

The voice falls silent.

The forest waits.

Eleven living suits.

Eleven destinies.

And one choice.

Which Beast will claim you?
