Although he didn't know why he adapted so quickly, all of this made Jiraiya feel extremely incredulous.
Just like the awe-inspiring feeling humans had when they first arrived in outer space, Yoriichi's abilities had exceeded Jiraiya's imagination.
After all, even the Toad Sage couldn't resolve this crisis. You have to remember that last time they drove Yoriichi away, it was with the help of the Feather and Slug Sages.
The power of a sage is several times that of a tailed beast. If such a powerful level cannot directly defeat Yoriichi, it shows that Yoriichi's strategic military strike position has risen to the point of threatening all major powers!
"This is not good at all..." Jiraiya's face was covered in cold sweat.
Jiraiya had already made up his mind. If he could return alive this time, he would definitely launch a plan to punish Yoriichi Uchiha of the Hidden Shadow Village.
The most urgent task is to unite with other major powers to complete the sanctions. Relying solely on Konoha's strength is unlikely to be of much use against this man whose strength is almost comparable to the oppressive aura of the former God of Shinobi.
Yoriichi sensed the powerful chakra surging within his body and clicked his tongue slightly.
The attack that the Toad Sage just launched contained a very strong killing intent. This attack destroyed one percent of Azure's defense, but that was the remaining effect after absorbing the killing intent.
In other words, the effect of absorbing killing intent is also significant. Under the combined effect, the final result is that one percent of the killing intent shield is consumed.
Yoriichi pondered for a moment. If the Toad Sage's attack was 100%, then the absorption rate would already be 99%. In this light, Azure's ability to absorb killing intent was truly powerful.
Yoriichi couldn't help but sigh, but even such an attack could still damage Azure's shield, which was only possible because the Toad Sage's power was extremely strong.
Thinking of this, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and another powerful chakra descended from the sky. This time, Yoriichi did not choose to take it head-on. Although the Azure Killing Intent Shield was very effective, it was better to dodge it.
Otherwise, simply ending the attack would only result in a pointless depletion of Yoriichi's defense.
This is not a good thing for the Toad Sage either, as his powerful chakra output comes from within his body, and the chakra in his body will gradually decrease as he uses techniques.
Yoriichi wasn't going to gamble on the Toad Sage's chakra reserves. Since he was a sage, who knew how much power he possessed? What if he pulled out something Yoriichi had never seen before and secretly defeated him? That would be a huge loss.
Yoriichi then began to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique. He had already achieved his goal of obtaining the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, so there was really no need for him to stay here any longer.
Yoriichi's body radiated a golden light, and the light of the Flying Thunder God gradually enveloped his entire body, turning it into the color of the sun.
"Don't run away..." Gamabunta, who was lying on the ground trembling, had not given up. He pushed the ground with his trembling hands, trying to get up again and keep Yoriichi with him.
“Ignorant, foolish…” Yoriichi sighed softly. The reason he left was because neither side was in a good position to stay. Moreover, under these circumstances, Yoriichi, with his Azure Divine Art ability, had a higher probability of winning than the Toad Sage.
If Gamabunta really pushes him too far, Yoriichi might actually stay and continue fighting.
However, given his personality and experience, it was completely unnecessary for him to do so; his timely retreat was better than anything else.
Just like an auction, deliberately inflating prices will only lead to losses for both parties.
This situation was designed entirely to trap people. Yoriichi did not want to fall into this trap. In his opinion, the current level of crisis threatening Mount Myōboku was not that great.
Apart from the Toad Sage, the others were all rather vulnerable.
Yoriichi did not stay as Bunta wished. His body transformed into a golden light, engulfing the pale blue face behind him with white pupils. The two of them instantly turned into light and floated into the sky, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
The Toad Sage's voice echoed throughout the entire Myoboku region, and the three toads—Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken—who were originally affected by the Mangekyou Sharingan, were immediately freed from the control of their eyes.
Whether it was due to the help of the Toad Master or the automatic deactivation after Yoriichi left, the toads finally returned to their normal state.
In the distance, the Toad Sage let out a soft, deep sigh. Everyone realized that the Toad Sage was summoning several people to the main hall to meet him.
Then, Jiraiya stood up. The injuries to his body gradually dissipated under the healing power conveyed by the Toad Sage's voice, and he was finally able to stand up and follow the toads toward the cave inside.
The Toad Sage is a toad that existed during the time of the Sage of Six Paths. He has lived for an extremely long time, spanning a vast period of time.
This also gave the Toad Sage extremely powerful strength and chakra, enabling him to build Mount Myōboku and raise the people who followed.
However, due to his old age and declining health, the Toad Sage was actually unable to rely entirely on his own actions to meet the enemy.
The Toad Sage often uses his own technique to project his own image, and then launches attacks against enemies through that image.
Since the Toad Sage was unable to move freely, the toads, Jiraiya, and others came to the main hall where the Toad Sage was located.
All the summoned beasts knelt down to pay homage to their king. Gamabunta, however, was quite resentful, feeling utterly humiliated by Yoriichi's attack on the elder before him.
In the end, they had to rely on the ancestor to barely drive Yoriichi away, but as a new generation of summoning beast, he still couldn't play a significant role.
"Gamabunta, don't blame yourself..." The toad master noticed Gamabunta's emotions and continued in a hoarse voice:
"That Uchiha Yoriichi, his Sage Mode Ryuchi Cave ability was originally a counter to us frogs, and those blood-red eyes of his can directly control tailed beasts."
"I believe that most of you do not have the strength of a tailed beast."
The toads looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"So, don't be sad about failure. Why not listen to my dream, about this boy... a precognitive dream." The Toad Sage's voice suddenly turned serious, and Jiraiya sensed something amiss.
It seems that the Toad Master also values Yoriichi highly...
This also explains the mystery surrounding Yoriichi; how could such a young boy be prophesied by the Toad Master?
This suggests that he might also be one of the figures who would change history.
"As far as the immortals know..." the Toad Immortal began to recount.
"We toads rarely dream, but when we do, it's highly likely to be a prophecy..."
Jiraiya nodded slightly. He was also someone who had been prophesied by the Toad Sage, and the Toad Sage's prophecies were generally accurate.
At that time, the Toad Sage mentioned that he saw the future of Jiraiya's future apprentice.
He was a boy who mingled with the Tailed Beasts. He possessed incredible power and was destined to be the Child of Prophecy, the one who would change the fate of the world and save the world order. He was one of the disciples that Jiraiya would receive in the future.
Therefore, after that day, Jiraiya began to take on many disciples, but all of them died, and none of them proved the Toad Sage's prophecy.
Despite this, Jiraiya still firmly believed in the Toad Sage's prophecy. He felt that since he was still alive, it meant that there was always a chance.
This is the destiny bestowed upon him by Heaven, the task given to him, that he was allowed to live in order to cultivate a new prophetic child and defeat someone like Uchiha Yoriichi!
The Toad Sage continued:
"In that boy I just saw, I saw an extremely tortuous future. It was a strange phenomenon: in the future, he would become the enemy of the whole world, with everyone pointing their spears at him and wanting to destroy him. Yet, this only made him more resilient. Although such a life was filled with sorrow, I saw a determined look in his eyes..."
"He is the son of a demon!" the Toad Sage finally concluded.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the immortals present were greatly surprised.
"Uchiha Yoriichi, is he really the child of the devil?" Jiraiya's pupils widened. He did indeed possess such talent, but he never expected that such a person could actually exist.
"Little Jiraiya..." The Toad Sage's voice suddenly interrupted Jiraiya's thoughts.
Jiraiya knelt down and replied softly, "I'm here..."
The Toad Sage nodded with difficulty and spoke, "Your disciple, the future Child of Prophecy, is one of the key figures in breaking the cycle of the Demon Child's destiny. You must shoulder this responsibility; only in this way can you save the world..."
The Toad Sage's prophecy plunged the entire hall into silence. Jiraiya knelt on the spot, his brow furrowed, the words "Child of the Devil" echoing in his mind.
As the opposite of the Child of Prophecy, the Child of Demons will naturally bring influence comparable to that of the Child of Prophecy.
"Uchiha Yoriichi...the enemy of the whole world?" Jiraiya murmured, his heart filled with both shock and complex emotions.
The Toad Sage slowly closed his eyes, seemingly having exhausted too much energy, and his voice became weak: "Little Jiraiya... his power has exceeded the scope of ordinary ninjas, and may even... touch the realm of the Sage of Six Paths."
Jiraiya looked up abruptly: "The Sage of Six Paths' domain? But he was just an ordinary rogue ninja from the Uchiha clan, how could he..."
"No..." The Toad Sage shook his head, "The power within his body transcends the realm of a ninja. The Mangekyou Sharingan is merely a prelude; his body contains power akin to that of ancient creatures..."
"This power is called divine magic, and it is usually possessed only by descendants of the Ōtsutsuki clan..."
The Toad Master had just tested Yoriichi's abilities, and after discovering that his attacks couldn't break through Yoriichi's shield at all, the Toad Master finally understood the truth: ...
Uchiha Yoriichi possessed divine abilities!
“Perhaps this also explains why he possesses both the Sharingan and the Byakugan within his body,” the Toad Sage said, his voice hurried, as if he were rushing to finish up a task.
Jiraiya's heart sank.
If it's an opponent with the power of the Sage of Six Paths, then winning against such an opponent becomes extremely difficult.
"So what should we do now?" Jiraiya clenched his fist. "Until we find the Child of Prophecy, we must keep him under control."
The Toad Sage remained silent for a moment before finally speaking: "Jiraiya, first you must find the Child of Prophecy as soon as possible... The prophecy mentions that the Child of Prophecy is the most important factor in breaking this calamity."
"Secondly, you do need to impose certain restrictions on him, ideally preventing him from conquering any other countries and acquiring resources..."
"His method of becoming stronger is peculiar; it seems to be an ability he draws from battle," the Toad Sage said.
Jiraiya took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "I understand."
He stood up, looked at the damaged forest of Mount Myoboku in the distance, and made up his mind—he had to act as soon as possible.
Chapter 166 The Campaign Against the Hidden Shadow Village, The Five Kage Summit
After leaving Mount Myōboku, Yoriichi rushed to a place he was once very familiar with.
That was the misty hiding place of Ryuchi Cave that Orochimaru had told him about before. Once he got there, he could find Ryuchi Cave.
Previously, Yoriichi needed someone to guide him to enter Ryuchi Cave, but that's no longer necessary.
Since awakening the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, Yoriichi's Sage Mode is sufficient to detect the exact location of Ryuchi Cave, allowing him to locate it more precisely.
After a long journey, Yoriichi finally arrived at this point.
What seemed like an ordinary spot changed everything after Yoriichi took a step forward.
The surrounding woodland, which was originally overgrown with weeds, was instantly transformed into an endless mist.
Yoriichi recalled that the last time he came here, he was only able to reach the inner hall thanks to the white snake Yaya leading the way, and he went through many trials along the way.
When Yoriichi returned, he no longer needed to go to such great lengths.
He stood there waiting until a familiar figure appeared in front of him. Yaya, dressed in her familiar shrine maiden outfit, came to Yoriichi's side.
She stared at Yoriichi with a grin.
"Long time no see," she said.
Yoriichi responded with a wry smile, "Long time no see."
"Come with me."
Ya Ya slowly walked forward, with Yoriichi following behind her. A year had passed since their last visit here. Although it was only a year, it was an extremely small amount of time in the world of the White Snake Sage.
However, for Yoriichi, this year has been filled with an extraordinary amount of events.
Perhaps this is also related to his cheat system; the strongest gacha system, which requires constant battles to improve, indirectly pushed Yoriichi into the spotlight.
Yoriichi followed behind Yaya, and a familiar scene appeared before his eyes: the White Serpent Temple.
Ya Ya glanced back at Yoriichi, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. It had been so long since they last met, yet Yoriichi's expression was completely different from before.
