Chapter 485 The New Child of Prophecy!

Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki didn't know what the Great Toad Sage's "dream" meant.

However, Fukasaku and Shima were very clear about it.

The Great Toad Sage obtained prophecies not through any special space-time ninjutsu, but through "dreams"!

Many years ago.

The Great Toad Sage's prophecy to Jiraiya about how his disciple would change the ninja world.

In reality, the Great Toad Sage had a special dream about Jiraiya!

In that dream, Jiraiya traveled the world, wrote books, and taught disciples...

And the content of the dream was indeed exactly the same as Jiraiya's future behavior.

However, if Nara Ranka were here, he would definitely spit in Jiraiya and the Great Toad Sage's faces!

The Great Toad Sage claimed to be making a prophecy for Jiraiya, but in reality, he didn't provide any reliable information whatsoever.

Even think about it the other way around.

It wasn't that the Great Toad Sage knew Jiraiya's future and informed him in advance.

Rather, the Great Toad Sage foresaw a certain future for Jiraiya and carefully nurtured him to move in that direction!

Also.

The prophecy made by the Great Toad Sage about Jiraiya was also quite interesting.

The most crucial point of Jiraiya's prophecy is that "Jiraiya's disciple will change the ninja world."

But what's interesting is that even the Great Toad Sage didn't know how Jiraiya's disciple would change the ninja world!

The Great Toad Immortal, however, gave two completely opposite prophetic directions.

Otherwise, Jiraiya's disciples would bring stability.

Otherwise, Jiraiya's disciples would cause destruction.

There is no intermediate value.

When the Great Toad Sage told Jiraiya about the prophecy, he mentioned something about it.

"Jiraiya needs to guide that changemaker and one day be forced to make a decision that will affect the direction of change."

This is where things get really interesting.

From this perspective, it doesn't matter who the changemaker is; what matters is the decision Jiraiya made.

To put it more clearly.

At the moment when Jiraiya was "forced to make a decision".

If Jiraiya had chosen Nagato, the entire ninja world would have faced nuclear peace after "making the world feel pain" because of Nagato's plan.

If Jiraiya had chosen Naruto, then the entire ninja world would have continued to move in the normal direction of "Naruto as the savior".

The false prophesied child—Naruto Uzumaki.

The true prophesied child—Jiraiya.

of course.

What is the most shameless aspect of the Great Toad Sage's prophecy?

This occurred before the Great Toad Sage made this prophecy to Jiraiya.

I don't know if it was hundreds or thousands of years ago.

The Great Toad Sage also made a prophecy for the Sage of Six Paths!

"A blue-eyed boy frolicking while calling the names of nine wild beasts."

Guess who this "blue-eyed boy" is.

Does this refer to Naruto Uzumaki, who has a pair of large, bright blue eyes?

Or is it referring to Nagato, who has the iconic onion eyes of the Sage of Six Paths?

So do you understand now?

Jiraiya, the apparent prophesied son.

The actual prophesied child—Gamamaru.

Jiraiya's self-assessment was indeed correct—his life was a complete failure.

The title "prophecy tool" best describes Jiraiya's life.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Regardless of how much Nara Ranke disliked the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

At least on Mount Myōboku, and among Jiraiya and his disciple Minato Namikaze, "prophecy" still has a considerable market.

Upon learning that the content of the Great Toad Immortal's prophetic dream had changed, the hall erupted in commotion once again.

"Sir, didn't you say before that your dream prophecies never failed you?"

"Old man, do you really have Alzheimer's disease? Shouldn't you see a doctor?"

Fukasaku and Shima had the loudest voices.

The questions uttered by Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki were drowned out by the noisy croaking of frogs.

However, from what Fukasaku and Shima said, the two realized that the Great Toad Sage's "dream" was equivalent to a "prophecy".

"Everyone, please quiet down and listen to me first..."

The Great Toad Sage's tone remained calm, yet he effortlessly captured the attention of all the creatures in the hall.

"Minato, do you know what the dream I had for Jiraiya was about?"

Upon hearing this, Shima-sensei rolled his eyes repeatedly.

If it weren't for Fukasaku's constant winking, Shima would definitely have complained that the Great Toad Sage had developed Alzheimer's.

You're asking Minato about something that Shinsaku just talked about!

Minato Namikaze remained calm and simply responded with two words.

"Know."

"That's good..."

The giant toad sage narrowed his eyes, and his tone suddenly softened.

"In my dream, the lecherous Jiraiya became a great ninja, and his disciple possessed the ability to change the ninja world..."

"However, Minato, I regret to inform you that you were not in my dream."

Minato Namikaze's expression changed slightly.

The meaning of "Great Toad Immortal" is not difficult to understand.

The character that appears in the Great Toad Sage's dream, or rather, in his prophecy, must be the legendary "Child of Prophecy."

Since Minato Namikaze didn't appear, it means he wasn't the prophesied child everyone was hoping for, nor was he some kind of savior.

Although I had somewhat anticipated this.

However, when the Great Toad Sage finally provided the "concrete evidence," Minato Namikaze couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Again.

Before the third battle, Master Men had his hands in his pockets and didn't know what an opponent was.

Until a dark shadow appeared in his own village, rising like a comet and shining like a star.

Minato Namikaze watched helplessly as his opponent grew from a weak and powerless genin into the Hokage who led an entire village.

After losing the election for the fourth generation, Minato Namikaze essentially rejected the rumors that he was the child of prophecy.

Now...

Minato Namikaze can completely ignore this so-called "prophecy"!

While Minato Namikaze was quietly comforting himself.

The Great Toad Sage spoke again.

"Also, Minato, you weren't in this new dream I had either."

Minato Namikaze: ...

One cut wasn't enough, you want to do it again, right?

I don't understand the yellow flash.

Can't you guys be a little more efficient in your words and actions?!

"Um……"

Minato Namikaze gave a soft "hmm" and immediately changed the subject.

"And what was the content of your new dream?"

"In my dreams..."

The giant toad immortal spoke leisurely.

"Jiraiya is no longer the one who decides the fate of the ninja world."

what?

Minato Namikaze scratched his head.

Isn't the person who will decide the fate of the ninja world in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy the Child of Prophecy?

How did it become Jiraiya-sensei?

The Great Toad Sage ignored Minato Namikaze's questions and continued his story.

"The children of humanity, radiating the light of the sun, broke the mysterious connection and brought unprecedented peace to the world..."
