Chapter 172
H . R . P Chapter 172: New Life
The Sanbi’s look was getting closer and closer to that of a Ragdoll Cat that Ryo had raised in his previous life, just many times larger than that .
Looking at the immense cat before him, emotions surged within Ryo’s heart .
‘What about the Juubi, or the Sanbi? What is this? A ghost from the past?’
Ryo took a deep breath, made himself calm down and then said to the Ragdoll cat: “So, aren’t you a turtle? How come your species changed?”
“I saw this creature in my master’s memory . Master still liked it very much, so I changed . ” The Ragdoll cat’s voice had a hint of grief in it .
“My memory? How do you see my memory?”
The cat did not answer . Looking at its tangled expression, Ryo guessed that it didn’t know either .
“You don’t know either don’t you? Let’s change the question . Is your soul that of the Sanbi?”
“The Sanbi? That big turtle? Isn’t that the food that master gave me?” The cat licked its lips . It must be that the Sanbi’s soul was pretty delicious .
Ryo realized that it was the Mini Jubi’s soul that actually swallowed that of the Sanbi . No wonder this new creature wasn’t hostile towards him .
This was rather strange; a soul newly born into this world swallowing up that of the Sanbi . It seemed just as absurd as seeing a baby beating up a grown man .
Ryo didn’t get much time to think about that . The Ragdoll cat’s voice was ringing in his head: “Master! Don’t you like me? Now, you can change me into whatever you want, but I won’t be able to change once my body and soul fully merge!”
Ryo thought the matter over and decided to change the beast’s shape . After all, a Ragdoll Cat wasn’t the most fitting creature to fight in the Naruto world .
“What do you want me to look like master?”
“Anything is okay??” Ryo asked with some curiosity .
“Yes, but you’ll have to be fast master; my soul’s about to fully merge with my body . ” The cat urged .
Ryo thought of the image of the oriental dragon in his mind, and then passed it over to the mind of the puppet cat . Being originally Chinese, he was deeply attached to that image .
“No, I don’t want to be a mollusk!” The cat refused directly .
The corner of Ryo’s mouth twitched! That’s a dragon! Not a freaking mollusk!
The cat was unwilling to become a dragon, so he could only keep thinking about other creatures from Chinese Mythology . However, they were all rejected by the cat, one after the other .
In the end, Ryo simply gave up, and let her decide what she wanted to be .
In the end, the image chosen by the cat surprised Ryo .

It had a lion’s head, antlers, lavender eyes, a moose’s body, blue water skin covered with dragon scales, and a purple gold dragon tail . She looked like a water Kirin .
“Master, does this look good?” The voice of what had just been a cat rang within Ryo’s mind .
“A Water Kirin, could that ever be bad? Where did you see this image?” Ryo did not think of Kirin, let alone a water Kirin .
“I saw master’s Ninjutsu, [Raiton: Kirin] . I think it looks good . As for the color of my body, it seems to come with the ability of the turtle . He can control water, and I ate him, so I can control water as well!” As it was speaking, a massive mass of water appeared around the Water Kirin .
Ryo looked at its appearance with attention, and then found that it didn’t look exactly like the legendary Kirin he had in mind .
Normally, a Kirin would have an ox tail, but this had a Dragon’s tail . Also, this beast should be a Biju, but it only had one tail .
This made Ryo speculate that it was no stronger than the Ichibi . However, he quickly omitted this theory . This Water Kirin had great amounts of Chakra, far surpassing the Ichibi . It also had Natural Energy, making his Chakra akin to the Senjutsu Chakra .
On top that, it controlled water . The Yonbi, let alone the Ichibi, might not be able to take on the Water Kirin .
“Master, I still have no name! Give me a name!” Again, the Water Kirin’s voice interrupted Ryo’s thoughts .
Naming was never Ryo’s forte . He generally liked using colors to name . The Water Kirin’s color was Blue .
“For now, I’ll call you Korin! I’m not good at picking up name . Have your sweet time choosing a better one in the future!” (T/N: Korin has the same Ko from Kogin, meaning Small . Rin means female Kirin . ) .

Korin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her name wasn’t going to mean Little Blue . They were both connected so it was clear to her what Ryo was thinking about .
“By the way, Korin, are you still a Biju?”
Korin nodded, and then shook her head . She nodded because her Chakra source is the same as that of the Biju, and shook her head as she was different life form .
The nine Biju were the result of the splitting of the Juubi by the Rikudo Sennin, with their souls also endowed by him .
Korin had some kind of consciousness that was practically made out of nothing, by the accumulation Chakra . It was similar to that of the Juubi that knew nothing but destruction .
Later, Ryo injected the Sanbi’s soul into her body .
After the Sanbi’s soul sensed the “Mini Juubi’s” consciousness, it got too scared to resist it . Korin easily swallowed the Sanbi’s soul, gaining his wisdom with that .
However, she was still like a newborn child at that point, like a blank sheet of paper . The Sanbi’s soul didn’t “digest” for a while, so at the beginning, it seemed like the beast was going to be the Sanbi .
When her soul and body started merging, Ryo’s spiritual power grabbed her attention .
With curiosity, she looked into Ryo’s spirit . Doing so, she saw him injecting the Sanbi’s soul within her, which was the key to her true birth . This made her regard Ryo as her master .
Ryo was very surprised when he learned about how things went . This was coincidence, and something that he had never seen before in the Manga .

“That is to say Korin, that you are of a new life form? Different from all 10 Biju?”
“Yes master . My soul is different from them . Even the Juubi would be able to swallow me . ”
“Korin, don’t call me master anymore, call me Ryo!” Ryo never cared for enslaving others . To him, all creatures comparable in wits to humans are equal .
This was the case with Kogin, and now it’s the same with Korin .
Kogin felt Ryo’s goodwill and respect as he said those words . She had the wisdom and feelings of human beings, and Ryo’s attitude towards her made her recognize him even more .
“Nevertheless, your size is really troublesome . How can I bring you back to the village?” Ryo felt he was in a bit of a pinch .
“You can seal me into your body, just like a Biju! I am different though from other Biju; I have a physical body . So you seal my Chakra, and my soul and body will still be free to move freely .
Ryo’s heart was shook . After thinking for while, he decided to become Korin’s Jinchuriki .
Ryo used to want to be the Sanbi’s Jinchuriki . He needed the beast’s Chakra and water control abilities . Now, Korin is definitely the superior choice .
Korin’s sealing went flawlessly . Like they previously decided, Ryo used the Eight Trigrams Seal to seal her Chakra into his body . He also left a gap on the seal so that she could use her own Chakra at will .
Korin’s body was originally the Gedo Mazo’s arm . Now, it’s that of a Water Kirin . This look won’t be easily dealt with by everyone . Ryo taught her transformation, and she turned into a Ragdoll cat just like before, and jumped into Ryo’s arms .
