Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 117 The Prophecy of Mount Myōboku (Please Subscribe)

"Spiritual communication!"

The sage Fukasaku placed his tiny toad-shaped hand on a huge scroll. In the middle of the scroll were two "人" (person) characters, and next to them were many sealing runes.

Then, with a "bang," a cloud of smoke appeared.

The two people suddenly appeared in mid-air and then crashed to the ground.

After sitting up from the ground, Minato Namikaze felt relieved when he saw the scenery of Mount Myōboku around him. Then, with a look of relief, he said to Jiraiya beside him, "Jiraiya-sensei, thank goodness you sent the message in time, otherwise we would have been doomed there."

They stormed into the enemy camp and faced over a thousand Sand Ninja. The barrage of shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags nearly landed them on Konoha's memorial tablet.

"It's a pity we didn't kill the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. But how did the Sand Village ninja discover our plan?"

Jiraiya sighed, thinking that there would probably never be another opportunity so smooth. That infiltration just now was like a divine intervention; he entered very smoothly, and he himself could hardly believe it at the time.

"It's probably not that they noticed our plan, but rather that the Sand Village ninja protected the One-Tailed Jinchuriki too well."

Minato Namikaze also felt it was a great pity and said, "They probably prepared a backup camp for the One-Tailed Jinchuriki from the very beginning. What the Sand Ninja knew was fake. Only the Sand Ninja's higher-ups knew where the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was."

Jiraiya frowned and said, "It seems that assassination is not a realistic option; we can only look for opportunities on the battlefield."

No one else would have such a strong infiltration ability as him.

"Then let's go back, Jiraiya-sensei, oh, and Fukasaku-sensei, thank you for your help this time."

Minato Namikaze quickly thanked the toad sage upon seeing him. If it weren't for Fukasaku, they probably would have been caught by the angry Sand Ninja after escaping with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Jiraiya, don't rush back yet. The master has something to discuss with you about the prophecy. Minato, you should also listen. You are also a contractor of Mount Myōboku."

Fukasaku said to the two that ordinary contractors don't receive this treatment, but these two are people who appeared in the Great Lord's prophecy. Although the Great Lord doesn't know Minato yet, Jiraiya said that Minato might be the savior, so let's bring them along.

"The Great Toad Sage has made a prophecy? Let's go take a look; it might be a prophecy related to the ninja world."

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya stood up and said to Minato, "Let's go, Minato. You haven't seen the Great Toad Sage yet, have you? He has actually seen the Sage of Six Paths and has lived for over a thousand years."

"I have met the Sage of Six Paths."

Minato Namikaze swallowed hard. This was a legendary figure. Then he obediently followed.

Although he is a contractor of Mount Myōboku, he has only recently gained Gamabunta's recognition and can stand on Gamabunta's head to fight. He has not been to the real Mount Myōboku many times.

After walking a long distance, Fukasaku, along with Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, arrived before the Great Toad Sage.

"Master, Master!"

It took the Great Toad Sage several calls to finally wake him up.

"Oh, it's Fukasaku. What can I do for you?"

Fukasaku knew that the Great Toad Sage was often forgetful, so he said to him, "You asked me to call Jiraiya last time, and now he's here. Tell him what you need to say."

"Little Jiraiya."

The Great Toad Sage slowly repeated the name, and Jiraiya stepped forward, ready to listen to the Great Toad Sage.

"Who is Jiraiya?"

Fukasaku covered his head, then shouted, "Didn't you dream about the prophecy last time, and that you were looking for Jiraiya?!"

"Oh, Jiraiya. So, which one of you is Jiraiya?"

After introducing himself several times, Jiraiya finally made the Great Toad Sage remember him again, and also introduced his disciple Minato Namikaze.

"This time, the prophecy foretold a crisis for Mount Myoboku. Although I find it hard to believe, I did see the destruction of Mount Myoboku in my dream, and it will happen very soon, in the not-too-distant future."

Upon hearing the Great Toad Sage's words, Fukasaku was the first to jump up and ask, "My lord, how could Mount Myōboku be destroyed? Are you mistaken?"

The giant toad immortal shook his head and said, "This dream left a very deep impression on me; I remember it very clearly."

Jiraiya quickly asked, "Great Toad Sage, who destroyed Mount Myōboku? Even the Five Great Shinobi Villages couldn't possibly find Mount Myōboku, could they?"

He loved Mount Myōboku very much, and his attachment to Mount Myōboku even surpassed that to Konoha at one point.

Jiraiya was a loser in Konoha, but his two teammates, Tsunade and Orochimaru, were all geniuses. After they were in the same team, the difference in strength became more and more obvious. Although the Third Hokage wanted to teach him well, the improvement was not obvious.

Finally, by chance, he arrived at Mount Myōboku, met Gamabunta, and was taught Sage Mode by Mount Myōboku, which allowed him to gradually narrow the gap between himself and Tsunade and Orochimaru.

After completing his studies at Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya often referred to himself as the Toad Sage and occasionally wore a headband with the word "oil" written on it, which represented the toad oil from Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya genuinely loved Mount Myōboku, the place that gave him the strength to catch up with his two companions.

The Great Toad Sage: "Hmm, it seems to be Ryuchi Cave. There are so many giant snakes, and the three snake princesses of Ryuchi Cave. In the end, under the leadership of the contractors of Ryuchi Cave, they completely destroyed Mount Myōboku."

The sage Fukasaku asked, "Ryuchi Cave? Didn't you say that the White Snake Sage was connected to the earth and couldn't move at all?"

Before he could finish speaking, the hermit Fukasaku realized a possibility: the White Serpent Hermit might not have come at all, but had destroyed Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya said, puzzled, "Why Ryuchi Cave? Orochimaru is the contractor of Ryuchi Cave; he wouldn't do something like this."

Minato Namikaze, standing nearby, reminded him, "Jiraiya-sensei, there seems to be another contractor in Ryuchi Cave."

Jiraiya clapped his hands and said, "Yes, and Uchiha Yoichi, but he doesn't seem like the one who destroyed Mount Myōboku. Great Toad Sage, are there any other clues?"

"Well, the other thing is that you, little Jiraiya, stood on Mount Myōboku in the end, and were destroyed along with us."

Upon hearing the Great Toad Sage's words, Jiraiya opened his jaw in surprise and fell silent.

Then he suddenly laughed twice and said, "As expected of the White-Haired Toad Immortal, it really does resemble my decision."

"Great Toad Sage, what about me? I am also a contractor of Mount Myōboku."

Minato Namikaze raised his hand and asked, quite curious about what he would look like in the prophecy, probably standing next to Jiraiya-sensei.

Who are you?

The Great Toad Sage looked at Minato Namikaze and asked.

Then, after reminding the Great Toad Sage of Minato Namikaze, he continued, "You weren't in the prophecy, Minato."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Then, Minato Namikaze said, somewhat unwilling to give up, "This shouldn't be happening. Jiraiya-sensei is here, why am I not?"

Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder and comforted him, "Isn't this a good thing? Maybe something came up that delayed you."

"However, I will investigate the matter of the Great Toad Sage and Fukasaku Sage thoroughly. Currently, both contractors of Ryuchi Cave are Konoha ninjas."

Fukasaku said in a somewhat heavy tone, "Don't push yourself, little Jiraiya."

So far, the Great Toad Sage's prophecies have never been wrong, so Fukasaku Sage feels in his heart that the fate of Mount Myōboku is probably over.

"Master Fukasaku, don't worry, I will definitely stop this!"

Jiraiya reassured him firmly, saying that this was his second home and he would never stand by and watch such a thing happen.

However, Jiraiya wanted to ask for more detailed information, such as the information about the contractor in Ryuchi Cave, but when he opened his mouth, the Great Toad Sage had already fallen asleep.

Jiraiya had no choice but to give up asking questions. After saying goodbye to Fukasaku, he returned to Kikyo Castle with Minato Namikaze.

"I'm sorry, Shikaku, we failed. Although we managed to infiltrate, the Sand Village ninja hid the One-Tailed Jinchuriki. The one Minato found was a fake."

After Jiraiya met Nara Shikamaru, he told him about the incident.

It can only be said that all efforts were in vain.

Nara Shikaku felt sorry to hear this, but he still comforted him, saying, "Lord Jiraiya, it's good that you and Minato are back. This operation was very risky to begin with, but fortunately, we made some gains at the Cloud River Iron Mine."

There was actually only one Gamabunta and ten Konoha ninja at the Yunhe Iron Mine. They used Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu to create the illusion that a large Konoha ninja force was attacking the Yunhe Iron Mine. Then they used Gamabunta to make the Sand Ninjas afraid and retreat.

The plan went well, the only pity was that we didn't find the real One-Tailed Jinchuriki.

Nara Shikaku said, "Let's wait for news from the village. The Sand Ninja might launch an attack next."

------------

The Land of Lightning is located near the border of the Land of Hot Water.

A fierce battle had just ended in the area filled with stone forests. Uchiha Yoichi sat to the side recovering his chakra, with a corpse lying in front of him—his spoils of war.

This Cloud Ninja is quite strong; he was able to hold out against him for ten minutes. Although I don't know his name, he meets the requirements for Edo Tensei.

While Inuzuka Daikichi and the others were chasing after the other two Cloud Ninja, Uchiha Yoichi cut a piece of flesh from the corpse and kept it.

After Mina Uzumaki made a breakthrough in improving the sacrificial offerings using Hashirama cells, he began creating reanimated forces.

We have now collected the flesh and blood of three Cloud Ninja Jonin.

Not long after, Inuzuka Daikichi and his two companions returned, bringing with them a living person.

"Captain, we've got a great haul this time. These three Cloud Ninja seem to be sending messages to the village. We intercepted them and they tried to destroy the scroll, but Kira-kun stopped them."

Daikichi Inuzuka said with a smile, "It was just a routine ambush, but we didn't expect to gain anything unexpected."

"The people of Kumogakure are all very stubborn. It's up to you, Captain, now."

Illusion is also a form of torture, and their team happens to have a Sharingan that represents illusion.

Uchiha Yang stepped forward, approached the captured Cloud Ninja, turned his face towards him, and then rapidly spun the three-tomoe genjutsu, instantly trapping the Cloud Ninja in a genjutsu.

Whether an illusion torture can succeed depends on whether the other party has the talent to resist illusions; if they do, they can withstand the illusion for a long time.

However, this Cloud Ninja was facing Uchiha Yoichi, whose genjutsu could even control the Nine-Tails for ten minutes. This Cloud Ninja's perseverance was a joke in front of Uchiha Yoichi.

After being affected by the genjutsu, his eyes quickly became glazed over, and now his every move was under the control of Uchiha Yoichi's chakra.

"How was this classified message deciphered?"

"Chou, Shen, Hai, Mao, Wei"

The Cloud Ninja, who was under the control of the illusion, quickly revealed the method to unlock the secret scroll. Following the hand seals, Hyuga Kira broke the scroll.

"team leader."

The scroll was handed to Uchiha Yoichi, who took it and opened it to look at its contents.

It's very short, just one sentence: Protect the wooden man as he travels to the camp.

Upon seeing this, Inuzuka Daikichi asked in confusion, "Yugito? Who is she? Is there such a person in the Cloud Ninja?"

"Could they be nobles from the Land of Lightning? After all, the word 'protect' was used, so their strength must be quite low."

Hinata Kira guessed, but Inuzuka Daikichi quickly retorted, "What would nobles from the Land of Lightning be doing on the front lines of the war? They certainly aren't nobles from the Land of Lightning; they're all a bunch of cowards who value their lives."

"No need to guess, she's the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails!"

Uchiha Yoichi interrupted their argument and continued, "He's probably only about ten years old now, and may have just become the Two-Tails Jinchuriki. The Cloud Ninja probably want to gather two Jinchuriki and launch a decisive battle against our camp."

"That's so ruthless!"

Upon hearing this news, Inuzuka Daikichi was so shocked that his mouth twitched. He then quickly said, "Captain, we need to go back immediately and report this news to Jonin Sakumo."

"Why go back?"

Uchiha Yoichi pointed to the name on the communication scroll and said, "Since we know the Two-Tails Jinchuriki is coming, let's wait for her to arrive."

this.

When Inuzuka Daikichi and the other two heard what Uchiha Yoichi said, they immediately felt that their captain was getting bolder and bolder; not only had he exceeded the scope of the mission issued by Jonin Sakumo, but he had also come all the way to the rear of the Land of Lightning.

They had only listened to their captain before, but now they were tasked with intercepting and killing the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Hyuga Kira spoke up, reminding them, "Captain, we've already killed them. They definitely won't have received the message. While they might still have a means of communication to send the Two-Tails Jinchuriki to the front lines, these three Cloud Ninja haven't returned. They must realize their intelligence has been intercepted."

At that point, either the route will change, or there will be many people protecting the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, which will be extremely dangerous.

"It was indeed very dangerous. In that situation, I wasn't confident I could protect you."

When Uchiha Yang spoke, Inuzuka Daikichi, Hyuga Kira, and the other two initially nodded slightly, thinking that their captain had listened to their advice.

However, after they realized what was going on, they felt that something was off about that statement.

Uchiha Yoichi continued, "So you go back and report this information to Jonin Sakumo. I'll stay here for a few more days. If I get the chance, I'll make my move; if not, I'll return to camp."

"Don't worry about me, I definitely won't die!"

Please vote for me!
