The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Jiraiya sighed heavily and nodded, saying:

"Thanks to the Great Toad Immortal who bestowed upon me an Immortal Talisman, I was able to save your life."

The Immortal's Talisman is the most precious treasure of the Toad Kingdom, capable of reviving people from near-death experiences.

This is extremely rare and precious; there's only one left.

Tsunade nodded silently, and after a long while, she said in a low voice, "I want to go back to Konoha."

Jiraiya immediately said with a solemn expression:

"Don't be impulsive. We're already Konoha's rogue ninja. Going back now will only result in us being surrounded and attacked."

"what!"

Tsunade suddenly raised her head, staring directly into Jiraiya's eyes, her face filled with disbelief.

Who am I?

I am one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

The princess of the Thousand Hands Clan.

It's unbelievable that he would be classified as a rogue ninja just because of this one incident.

Jiraiya knew that Tsunade couldn't accept this fact immediately, so he explained in a deep voice:

"After you fainted that day, the whole village was shouting that you should pay with your life."

Even the old man couldn't save you.

I can only take you away from Konoha and then make further plans.

Let's put revenge aside for a while.

That Uchiha brat's strength is already comparable to yours or mine.

Moreover, you also suffer from hemophobia, which severely restricts your abilities.

Let's ask the Great Toad Sage first; the Great Toad Sage is someone who can foresee the future.

Perhaps he can offer us some guidance.

Tsunade nodded, then pointed to the far right, to the enormous figure sitting in a chair, and said:

"Is this the big snoring toad you're talking about?"

Jiraiya was taken aback by this, and scratched his head rather awkwardly, saying:

"The Great Toad Immortal is quite old and somewhat prone to sleepiness."

Plus, it's been so long waiting for you to wake up..."

At this moment, Fukasaku and Shima had already jumped onto the armrests on either side of the Great Toad Master.

The two immortals shouted loudly several times, finally waking the giant toad immortal from his slumber.

The giant toad immortal trembled slightly, then opened his cloudy eyes and said in a hoarse voice:

"Ah, thank you all."

I was having a nightmare, and thankfully you woke me up.

Jiraiya asked with a puzzled look:

"Nightmare?"

"Great Toad Sage, isn't your dream a prophecy?"

Fukasaku said with a solemn expression, "Could it be that something has happened in the future, and things have taken a turn for the worse?"

The Great Toad Sage seemed about to breathe his last, and said weakly:

"I...I saw in my dream...that this world was being toyed with by demons."

Jiraiya frowned and asked:

"Who is the demon?"

Is he the one the prophesied child is destined to defeat?

"Child of Prophecy...Child of Prophecy...Child of the Devil......"

As the Great Toad Immortal was talking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Just then, Jiraiya, who was at a crucial moment, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Great Toad Sage! Great Toad Sage!"

The Great Toad Immortal slowly opened his eyelids and said leisurely:

"Oh, sorry, I just fell asleep again."

Jiraiya, when did you arrive...?

I saw you in my dream, along with your companions.

I saw you return to Konoha.

After returning to Konoha...

After returning...

"Dead..."

After he finished speaking, the snoring of the Great Toad Sage echoed through the temple once again.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, who were present, were completely stunned when they heard the Great Toad Sage finish speaking his last words.

Shima and Fukasaku tried calling out several more times, but they couldn't wake the Great Toad Sage. They could only look at Jiraiya with a serious expression and say:

"It seems we can't wake him up."

Tsunade clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"Alright, stop calling him the Great Toad Immortal."

If the prophecy is true, then Jiraiya and I cannot go back now.

Ultimately, it comes down to our insufficient strength.

"As long as we are strong enough, we can return to Konoha and eliminate those scourges."

"What are you planning to do?" Jiraiya asked, his brow furrowed.

Tsunade pondered for a moment, her fighting spirit rekindling in her eyes, and said solemnly:

"I'm going to Shikkotsu Forest to train under the Slug Sage, and I'll return to Konoha to take revenge when the time is right."

Jiraiya nodded upon hearing this and said:

"Okay, let me know if you're going to Konoha."

I'll go with you.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.

Fukasaku thought for a moment, then said to Jiraiya:

"Since you two have made this decision..."

Jiraiya, you should stay at Mount Myōboku and continue your training.

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment and said, "But what about the Child of Prophecy?"

Master Shima explained, "Some things are predestined."

Perhaps you have already found the Child of Prophecy and completed your mission.

Or perhaps he will meet you after you finish your cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's mind flashed with two figures, one red and one yellow, and he immediately nodded, saying:

"I understand."

At this moment, Tsunade had already turned around and walked out of the temple.

"I'll go and pay my respects to Jingyin first."

[Chapter 199 Guiding Still Water to the True Meaning of Love]

The next day.

Konoha, the home of the Uchiha clan.

The sky was a deep, clear blue, and the gentle spring breeze, carrying a slight chill, brought a sense of tranquility and freshness.

Uchiha Tonan got up, brewed himself a pot of tea, and rinsed his mouth.

The wooden carvings on the altar were covered in dust.

He then took a rag and carefully wiped each of the wood carvings one by one.

While wiping, he said with a regretful expression:

"It's a pity you didn't catch the right time."

Otherwise, you can come and keep me company in my paradise.

After wiping the wood carvings, Uchiha Tonan lit three sticks of incense for them.

He then packed his things and left home.

Now that Jiraiya and Tsunade are gone, Uchiha Tonan can once again happily cultivate the land in Konoha, this very farm.

Previously, Uchiha Tonan was affiliated with Hiruzen Sarutobi and opposed Danzo.

Now the situation has changed, and they are simply dependent on Danzo.

The reconstruction of the welfare home will begin today.

Uchiha Tonan naturally wanted to go and take a look, to act as a supervisor.

After all, with Hiruzen Sarutobi protecting them in the past, no one dared to openly obstruct them.

But things are different now; this reconstruction work was arranged by Danzo.

What if one of Hiruzen Sarutobi's subordinates is foolish enough to come over?

They might use excuses like substandard materials or house designs that don't conform to Konoha's rules to obstruct the project.
