There's a bit of confusion, as they realize he's being honest, and they all pause to consider for a moment, since, apparently, most kitsune know the function innately, or, at least, have learned it to such a degree, by the time they can do it themselves. "It might be easier to show you," one of the eight-tails says, teleporting to another part of the temple, and returning with a six-tail, who looks very, very nervous, to be in the presence of all these extremely powerful individuals. "Watch closely," he says, as he begins incanting an ancient ritual, informing the younger kitsune of the honor of being chosen, and why, continuing on for several minutes, as he weaves what seems to be a wide, complex net of energy around him. He, in return, seems to stretch out his own net, which meshes with the one spread around him, until the two intertwine into a new pattern, that slowly settles onto him. AS it does, and as the ritual finishes, the net is tied and, and absorbed into the formerly six-tails' body, a sudden surge of power and a flash of light signaling his promotion, as, when the light fades, he now has a seventh tail.
