Even though Mount Myōboku and the ninja world are not in the same space, and ordinary ninjas could not find its true location even if they spent their entire lives searching for it, the words of that human girl made it impossible for them to ignore them!

The illusion that a threat was about to come true was constantly bombarding their hearts.

Not only is the tragic fate of the three Gamabunta brothers still fresh in our minds, but more importantly, Lord Gamamaru made a terrifying prophecy three years ago!!

【hateful,】

This feeling of palpitations is impossible to ignore!

From the beginning, they were all mentally prepared for Toad Kosuke to die in battle.

Unexpectedly, the leader of this clan didn't care about the life or death of a toad at all, and started talking about the clash between two forces.

They're a bunch of lunatics!!

For a moment, the air fell silent.

The two toad leaders exchanged glances, both seeing the worry and uncertainty in each other's eyes. And the one threatening them was clearly just a junior!

The history of Mount Myōboku is far longer than that of the Uchiha clan!

"Answer?"

The two toad executives weren't given much time to consider before the cold voice rang out again.

After all, this is a war zone.

Izumi's direct intimidation of the toads of Mount Myōboku was naturally a consideration of the entire battlefield.

Because her eyes had been alerting her ever since Jiraiya reappeared, indicating that his strength had greatly increased.

Such an improvement means that even they themselves cannot guarantee that they can suppress it again.

She had already revealed all her trump cards in the previous encounter, and numbers are useless against an absolute powerhouse.

Therefore, the only thing they could do was to try to eliminate the source of the opponent's sudden power!

As for the source of that power, it undoubtedly came from the two green toads standing on his shoulders.

The slender finger bones cracked crisply, and Toad Kosuke spat out another mouthful of dark green blood. His once round and shrewd eyes were now listless and almost closed.

For this,

The girl's face showed no emotion, and her icy eyes revealed an unapproachable attitude.

But just then, a clear voice broke through the chaotic atmosphere and reached the girl's ears:

"Izumi, return that toad to Jiraiya-senpai."

Such a sound immediately caused a ripple to appear in Quan's calm, icy eyes.

It was the sound of desolation.

With a glance around the main battlefield, confirming that this was an order from Ara himself and not some deception, she didn't even ask why before throwing the half-dead toad Kosuke in her hand towards the opponent's location.

see,

Jiraiya dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately stepped forward to catch the little thing, which was already on the verge of death, in his palm.

For a moment, he didn't understand why the other party would give such an order.

It was a feeling of compassion.

Or was it out of fear of the holy site?

Regardless of the reason, it is undoubtedly good news for them.

But this newly formed mood was shattered in an instant.

"Also, the meaning of 'spring' is the same as my meaning:"

"If Mount Myōboku wants to start a war, then let's continue."

Arakawa stomped on the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, his eyes, looking down from the high platform, were devoid of any emotion.

The reason for returning the toad to Kosuke was neither out of pity nor out of fear of Mount Myōboku, but simply to repay the debt owed three years ago in the eastern border of the Land of Fire.

On that day, if the other side hadn't arrived at the battlefield in time and stopped the Fourth Raikage, who was at his peak, the subsequent outcome would have been unimaginable.

Therefore, he was only referring to Jiraiya.

The reason for not stating the reason directly is that all that is needed is for them to find solace in their own hearts and repay the kindness they have kept in their hearts.

Moreover, a trivial contact toad is the lowest-cost way to repay the debt.

This answer caused Jiraiya to fall into a moment of silence.

He was certainly not stupid; he also found a memory in his mind, a piece of advice from the Great Toad Sage:

【Jiraiya-chan, ya.】

On this journey, you will encounter a terrifying young man whose eyes harbor immense power.

Your fate, the fate of Konoha, the fate of Mount Myōboku, and even the fate of the entire ninja world will be inextricably linked to it.

【……】

【Jiraiya-chan, ya.】

You probably don't want to know what I dreamed about.

The barrier of Mount Myōboku was brutally torn open, and the entire space was being crushed by the aura of another world. Standing beside the boy were countless terrifying beings that even I felt a chill run down my spine.

【……】

He is able to encompass all the changes and disasters brought about by the chosen one.

[It could also plunge the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Three Sacred Lands, and even the clan on the moon into a state of annihilation.]

You must be very careful in your relationship with him.

【……】

As Jiraiya stared directly at the boy whose eyes were even colder, his nerves twitched slightly.

If their first meeting three years ago in the eastern part of the Land of Fire led him to speculate that the other person might be the being predicted by Lord Gamamaru.

So, now it's a definite affirmation.

Letting Toad Kosuke go was his way of responding to that incident, and it reflected his principles.

But clearly that guy didn't need to do that.

The reason I chose to go to the eastern border was entirely for Konoha, not simply to save the Uchiha clan.

"I apologize, Fukasaku-sama and Shima-sama, for dragging you into the conflicts between humans as well."

"Please take Kousuke and leave this place first."

After a brief internal struggle, Jiraiya made his decision.

That prophecy ultimately dealt him a great blow, making it impossible for him to calmly disregard the situation and future of Mount Myōboku for the sake of Konoha.

Although the Great Toad Sage also said that the future can be changed.

He also has a plan that can change this future: to resolve the source of cholera, which could bring disaster to Mount Myoboku, today!

but,

He scanned the foreign ninjas standing throughout the area, as well as Uchiha Ara, who remained undefeated despite being besieged by the old man and Orochimaru.

In the end, he still didn't dare to gamble.

[Sage Mode], deactivated.

Chapter 560 The Burning Will of Fire, the Counterattack from Konoha!

"Little Jiraiya, you don't need to believe that old senile man's prophecies too easily. After all, he's very old and can't even remember people's names properly, so how could he possibly know about the future..."

The contractor's act of directly terminating his own assistance made Toad Shijian anxious, but he also knew that the other party must have remembered the prophecy made by the Great Toad Immortal three years ago.

But in the end,

That was merely a dream of an old senile man, something entirely illusory and impossible to become a predetermined future.

Otherwise, Jiraiya would have spent decades searching for the "Child of Destiny" in that old senile man's dream, and still have come up empty-handed.

Of course, this was not Gamashige's intention to slander the Great Toad Sage.

Rather, it was because this seemingly frivolous and somewhat lewd little human was someone they had watched grow up.

The emotions accumulated over the long years make it, in a sense, not an exaggeration to call them children of Mount Myoboku.

At this moment, he was moved by a protective instinct towards his offspring.

"Lord Shima is as gentle as ever."

"However, please trust me this time, I will try my best to handle this matter well."

"And you still need to continue preparing dinner, right?"

Having lived in this world for decades, how could Jiraiya not sense the concern in Gamashima's tone?

But Gamamaru is, after all, a living fossil that has existed for thousands of years. He is a toad sage with great abilities, and he once dreamed that he would accidentally stumble into Mount Myōboku.

Therefore, the prediction made three years ago was definitely not unfounded.

He did not want to see the internal strife within Konoha one day destroy the peace within the sacred land.

"Then you will come with us."

Instead of responding to the other party's words, Toad Shima immediately came up with a second method.

If Jiraiya doesn't participate in this war, then they have no reason to continue helping Konoha.

And in this way, I have nothing to worry about.

It doesn't care at all about battles between humans.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"Although Konoha currently faces many problems,"

"But after all, this is my home."

Jiraiya maintained his friendly smile, and subconsciously raised his hand to gently push up the headband he wore on his forehead.
