In Konoha, your attributes double every day!

Toad Sage nodded in response to Jiraiya's answer.

Its tongue curled out again, swallowing the seven scrolls into its body.

This time.

Only one sealing scroll remains.

"This should be a Wood Release clone," Jiraiya concluded.

"It should be."

The Toad Sage agreed.

It stuck out its rear end and threw the scroll under the seat.

"Huh? Don't we need this scroll?" Jiraiya asked, puzzled.

He guessed that the scroll most likely contained Han Guang's Wood Release clone.

How did the toad master throw him off his seat?

"This scroll is a clone of a malignant tumor; it cannot be used," the Toad Sage said quietly.

"Wait a minute! A cancerous tumor?"

Jiraiya was completely dumbfounded.

What does "Toad Sage" mean? Is he referring to Han Guang?

puff~~

Exhaling a smoke ring, the Toad Sage began to explain.

"The cold light of Konoha Village is a cancer in the ninja world! Our goal is to eliminate it!"

"this!!!"

Jiraiya was greatly surprised.

Didn't the Toad Sage previously predict the village's future? How did it turn into eliminating Han Guang?

Han Guang, that's the Fourth Hokage of the village.

"Toad Sage, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Jiraiya asked, looking quite displeased.

"That's right! To save the ninja world, this cancer must die!" the Toad Sage said quietly.

"But how could he be a cancer? He's the Fourth Hokage!" Jiraiya asked, puzzled.

“Jiraiya, there are some things you don’t know.” The Toad Sage shook his head.

"No! You need to explain yourself! Did you ask me to steal the scroll to deal with the Fourth Hokage, Hanko?" Jiraiya pressed.

"Yes!" The Toad Sage did not deny it.

"you!"

Jiraiya looked utterly disappointed.

He knew he had been deceived.

These ten scrolls were probably a backup plan that Han Guang left for the village. In the end, he stole them himself.

"Jiraiya, if even the ninja world is gone, do you think Konoha Village can still exist?" the Toad Sage said earnestly.

"What do you mean?"

"I dreamt that the 'Cold Light of the Tumor' would destroy the ninja world!" The Toad Sage's words were astonishing.

"what?"

Jiraiya was stunned.

Will the cold light destroy the ninja world?

He's the Hokage, how could he possibly destroy the ninja world?

but--

Jiraiya knew very well that the Toad Sage's prophecy would not be wrong.

"Is this true?" Jiraiya asked solemnly, wanting to confirm it again.

“Absolutely true!” the Toad Sage replied.

Then it continued, "In the near future, the toxic cold light will destroy the ninja world, and all living things will be extinct!"

Upon hearing the Toad Sage's words, Jiraiya's heart sank to the bottom.

To be honest, he didn't know much about Han Guang. He only knew that Han Guang was a disciple of the sect and possessed terrifying strength.

Then the problem is coming.

How could a twelve-year-old boy be so strong?

"Could he really be the malignant tumor that the Toad Sage spoke of?"

Jiraiya was starting to believe it.

Because Han Guang's strength was abnormal and beyond common sense.

As the Toad Sage said, if Han Guang is allowed to grow unchecked, no one will be able to stop him from destroying the ninja world.

Therefore, it should be eradicated as soon as possible.

"But this will probably make the gate very sad," Jiraiya sighed.

"But for the sake of peace in the ninja world, I'm sure you'll understand, right?"

With this thought, Jiraiya's inner conflict disappeared.

I did nothing wrong!

Because the cold light blinded everyone.

"correct!"

At that moment, Jiraiya thought of something.

"Before I was summoned, I saw Han Guang return to the village."

"Ok?"

The toad immortal was taken aback.

"you sure?"

"Yes! I saw him come back with the door."

"That's it..."

The toad sage fell into deep thought.

This isn't right.

According to his dream, the toxic cold light should use the dragon vein to travel to the future!

Why didn't he go?

"Jiraiya, I'm now entrusting you with an important task!" The Toad Sage's tone turned serious.

"What mission?" Jiraiya's expression turned serious.

"Go back to Konoha and bring that cold light to Mount Myōboku!" The toad sage's frog eyes gleamed.

"You mean, lure Han Guang here and then eliminate him?" Jiraiya understood.

After all, Konoha Village now has many ninjas, and if Han Guang stays in the village, it will be difficult for Mount Myōboku to make a move.

“That’s right!” the Toad Sage replied, exhaling a smoke ring.

Its frog eyes narrowed, and it muttered to itself, "As long as the 'Poisonous Cold Light' enters Mount Myōboku, he will surely die!"

now.

Han Guang and Namikaze stood on Mount Myōboku, looking up at a giant toad.

"Namikaze Mon! You actually brought a stranger in?" Gamabunta's voice boomed as he questioned.

Outsiders need the permission of Mount Myōboku to enter. But now—

How dare Namikaze bring in outsiders without permission?

“Gamabunta, he’s not a stranger. He’s my disciple, Hanko, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha!” Namikaze explained.

"what?"

Upon hearing Han Guang's name, Gamabunta's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"The 'Cold Light of the Malignant Tumor'? You actually brought him in?"

"Am I a cancer?" Han Guang stroked his chin.

"Bunta, what are you saying?" Namikaze's face darkened.

Han Guang was his disciple, and he even succeeded to the position of Fourth Hokage! How could Gamabunta call Han Guang a cancer?
