Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

I've been a bit weak on updates lately.

Got stuck

Woo woo

Let me sort it out.

Chapter 178 Qing Shui seems to have been persuaded; could I really be a premonition?

Son of words?

Jiraiya was very happy.

The Uchiha clan's status as descendants of Sages is a rumor in the ninja world, seemingly passed down from ancient times.

After all, the Uchiha clan was indeed founded by Indra, and the legend has been passed down orally to this day. Although no one knows whether it is true or false now, the legend does exist and can be found in ancient texts.

Of course, this is not unique. The Senju, Uzumaki, Hyuga, and even the Kaguya clan have all boasted about this identity.

But from Jiraiya's perspective, it all makes sense.

Qingshui is the prophesied child chosen by the Great Toad Sage, and he can also see the law of peace in the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths…

How will the prophesied child bring peace to the world?

Of course, we should do as the Sage of Six Paths says!

To a large extent, the Great Toad Sage's prophecies were also endorsed by his relationship with the Sage of Six Paths.

The stone tablet recording peace, the prophesied child bringing peace—they all sound like a perfectly matched system, without any sense of incongruity…

The Uchiha stone tablet is actually not a very secretive thing.

When the clan meeting is held at the Nanga Shrine, this stone tablet is placed in the very center for all Uchiha ninjas to visit.

However, the content is divided into three levels, which can only be read by those with the Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. The last level contains the concept of Infinite Tsukuyomi, and only Madara Uchiha has seen it all in the past thousand years.

The higher-ups in Konoha, such as Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, had all heard of him.

When Madara Uchiha left Konoha, he parted ways with Hashirama Senju in front of the Uchiha Stone Tablet, leaving behind the words, "On the road to ultimate peace, I will enjoy our battle..."

Tobirama, being Hashirama Senju's younger brother and having taken Uchiha Kagami as his disciple, naturally knew some of this information.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also knew some of the details.

Qingshui can only see two layers of information on the stone tablet at the moment, but he doesn't need the tablet to learn about the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique. In practice, he is more proficient than Black Zetsu in some respects, having seen it countless times...

"This truly records the path to peace..."

Qing Shui pondered for a moment, then said slowly and deliberately:

"As for the specific method, I haven't figured it out yet, but I roughly know that it is the ultimate ninjutsu that can eliminate the conflict in the entire ninja world and bring infinite peace. To see the follow-up, I need my eye power to continue to grow."

Jiraiya clapped his hands excitedly, even more so than when he saw Aokiji single-handedly wipe out the entire Iwagakure army. He clenched his fists and shouted uncontrollably:

"Good! Great!"

How many years has it been...

Jiraiya traveled to countless places in the ninja world. After meeting Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, he thought he was finally going to succeed. However, after learning of Nagato's death, he was disheartened. But unexpectedly, in the end, he found his match after searching high and low...

He encountered the prophesied child in Konoha, right in front of him!

In particular, Aokiji, the forbidden child of prophecy, happens to possess the Will of Fire. He listened patiently to Jiraiya's explanation and, although he did not immediately believe it, he was generally willing to learn more.

That's good!

This also aligns with Jiraiya's assessment of Aoshui's personality.

"Qingshui, don't worry about that stone tablet. Just focus on your safety and grow stronger. You'll see it eventually..."

Jiraiya's tone became cautious. He had finally found the child of prophecy, and he hoped that the child wouldn't end up like Nagato, who died inexplicably in the chaos of the world.

Seeing Jiraiya's concerned gaze, even the usually respectful Minato couldn't hold back his emotions.

No, Jiraiya-sensei, this guy just killed 10,000 people plus two Jinchuriki in a quarter of an hour!

The quantity and quality are almost equivalent to an entire Konoha village. Are you so concerned that you've lost your mind?

To put it bluntly, in Minato Namikaze's view, even if all the ninjas in the entire ninja world were to die, Aoshui, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique and various bloodline limits, would be the last to fall, and no one else would have a chance to worry about him.

Qing Shui shook his head: "The Sage of Six Paths, do they really exist?"

"If the laws of peace inscribed on the stone tablet are correct after a thousand years, why didn't He implement them back then...?"

"These are all mysteries. In any case, we still need to determine the authenticity of the stone tablet first."

Jiraiya listened attentively to Aoshui's words and nodded repeatedly, feeling quite satisfied.

Look, this is the child of prophecy...

How cautious, how careful! How comprehensive their considerations were for the peace of the ninja world!

Jiraiya quickly changed his stance; that's how much the title of "Child of Prophecy" meant to him!

[From your lane target Jiraiya, you have gained a special talent—Devoted Believer of Prophecy!]

[Devoted Believer in Prophecy]: When you cause Jiraiya to experience emotional fluctuations due to the prophecy of the Child, your Sage Mode will be strengthened accordingly.

This talent unlocks the final laning phase, and upon completion, grants a special reward—the power of Mount Myōboku.

As Qing Shui listened to the pleasant electronic sound, he flashed a businesslike smile, pleased with himself for receiving the gold coins, and patted Jiraiya on the shoulder:

"I will seriously consider the Child of Prophecy and the Stone Tablet. Once the intensity of the war has decreased, I will trouble you to confirm it."

"You've worked hard, Jiraiya. You've been working for peace and the prophecy for so many years, and you've faced so much skepticism. If I hadn't encountered this coincidence myself, I wouldn't understand it either."

"You are amazing. Mount Myōboku and the ninja world are fortunate to have you. I will do my best to understand this stone tablet and complete it."

Qingshui's eyes were serious, and his words were sincere.

Upon hearing these words, Jiraiya felt a violent tremor in his heart, and even his nose felt a little sore. After so many years, finally someone understood him!

Or the child of prophecy…

"Qingshui, this is all I should do. I will help you earnestly!" After a moment, Jiraiya composed himself and solemnly pounded his chest:

"I have instructions, please give them!"

Qing Shui returned his gaze with a respectful look, a smile playing on his lips.

The natural energy that he could hardly perceive in the past has now become clear, like fireflies radiating heat, which is naturally captured by Qing Shui.

[Due to the special talent "Devoted Believer in Prophecy," your perception of natural energy has been enhanced!]

"Regarding the Child of Prophecy and the stone tablet, I will also go to Tsunade and Orochimaru to analyze it from the perspective of multiple sacred sites."

Qing Shui said in a deep voice, "This is, after all, a matter concerning the peace of the entire ninja world, and we cannot be careless."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly. Could it be that Aoshui still couldn't fully trust Mount Myōboku?

But since it concerns the Sage of Six Paths, even Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest probably wouldn't dare to speak carelessly about it...

Jiraiya felt somewhat relieved.

"Now that we've finished discussing the matter of the Child of Prophecy, let's talk about the war."

Qing Shui waved his hand, his gaze turning serious, and slowly said:

"Although Iwagakure lost 10,000 men, they still have tens of thousands of troops left, and the Tsuchikage Onoki is not a weak-willed leader, so they should not be underestimated."

"I've dealt with the Mist Village side. The remaining enemy forces are from three regions: the Cloud Village, the Sand Village, and the Rain Village."

Qing Shui frowned slightly and sighed:

"The Tobirama series weapons of Root have achieved results, but the enemy will also take precautions, such as using Wind Release to disperse Tobirama No. 2 and using Lightning Release to counter Explosion Release bombardment."

"And the reserves of new weapons cannot keep up with consumption, after all, there is only about six months of preparation time and production capacity is limited."

"We must be prepared for the possibility that the enemy might unite and launch a general offensive against us."

Minato Namikaze nodded seriously, listening to Aokiji's analysis with deep emotion.

Despite having already achieved such military merit, Qing Shui remained humble and composed, as steady as the Shadow Rock of Konoha...

Perhaps this is why this man became synonymous with the Will of Fire?

"I still need to inspect the battlefield in Kumogakure. You all need to be careful of the counterattack from Iwagakure. If there are any problems, have Yamanaka Kaze relay them to the command headquarters on the Tobirama in a timely manner."

Qing Shui waved his hand and left, looking somewhat tired.

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya watched Aokiji's departing figure, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Minato, your plans to become the Fourth Hokage might need to be slowed down..."

Jiraiya scratched his head sheepishly: "It's not that I don't support you, teacher, but Aoshizu is the child of prophecy, and making him Hokage is the best choice for the ninja world and the future."

"But you're not without a chance, there's still the Fifth Hokage..."

Jiraiya offered a vague word of comfort to Minato Namikaze, but everyone knew that the Fifth Hokage was far from being his equal.

Does Qing Shui not have any apprentices now, and will he not have any in the future?

Minato Namikaze had a good attitude, and smiled like a little sun: "If you lose to Aoshui, I can accept it."

"As for me, perhaps I have an even greater advantage than Qing Shui..."

Jiraiya seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't bear to contradict his beloved student, though he couldn't quite keep his composure.

Although he had previously claimed that "there is no ninja better than Minato Namikaze," in his mind, this priority was not as high as that of the Child of Prophecy.

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "I have a girlfriend. After the war ends, I'll work hard and be able to have a child before Aozumi."

"In that case, I'll have my son become Qingshui's apprentice; perhaps there's hope he'll become the fifth or sixth generation..."

Jiraiya froze, unsure how to respond.

But upon closer reflection, I realized that Minato Namikaze's words actually made a lot of sense...

If Minato Namikaze's child could become Aoshi's apprentice, he would be the disciple of the prophesied child, and would be born with the identity of Mount Myōboku. Wouldn't that be the most perfect candidate for Hokage in Konoha?

Jiraiya looked at Minato Namikaze with unusual seriousness and said solemnly:

"Minato, you have to do your best!"

"Don't make me look down on you, young man!"
