Sell ​​jars from Hokage

"It seems that you really don't understand." Silence said, "In that case, let me give you a simple explanation."

He probably guessed what series of jars Jiraiya would open.

Lift your finger.

Snapped--

With a crisp snap of his fingers, everything around him changed in Jiraiya's sight.

They were in a completely dark place, as if there was no light source, but strangely, Jiraiya could clearly see the silence in front of him.

This will give you a sense of surprise.

"Do you know what fate looks like in the eyes of a being like me?" The smile on Shen Mo's face was a little mysterious, and without waiting for Jiraiya to answer, he went on to give the answer, "The tree of destiny."

"The tree of destiny?" Jiraiya repeated.

"You should know the scene I showed to Naruto and the others on the first stage of destiny." Silence asked again.

"Yes, I have seen it." Jiraiya nodded solemnly.

When he was teaching Naruto these days, he also asked about some details of that fateful stage.

After all, there is no follow-up in the image.

And there's that kind of blurring.

Among them, what shocked him the most was the image given by Silence, the image of Naruto and the others' original fate in this battle.

Shiro died, Zabuza died, and Sasuke died.

It's almost like...

The other party can also predict the future.

"In my eyes, the original destiny of your world is so simple that it is clear at a glance, just like this."

Silence raised his hand, and from his palm, a tree emitting yellow light grew little by little.

But - there are no branches.

It's just a bare tree. It's barely called a pillar, but it's not quite appropriate to be called a tree.

"Destiny, or the future, is an extremely profound concept."

Shen Mo stretched out his other hand and tapped it lightly somewhere on the "tree", and a few pictures appeared on it. It was Jiraiya when he was young, listening to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage of Mt. Myoboku.

Then he continued:

"Normally, it is difficult for people in the depths of destiny to give an absolute prediction of their destiny, but the Great Toad Immortal has done it. The reason why you believe it is because its predictions are not inaccurate."

Jiraiya seemed to understand something.

"Say what you mean." He already used the honorific unconsciously, "The reason why Toad Immortal's prediction is accurate is because the fate of this world has only one branch and one fixed result?"

"That's right."

Silence was not surprising that he could understand so quickly. He suddenly pointed to another location on the branch.

In the new screen.

Jiraiya fell to the ground covered in blood.

"..."

Jiraiya watched this scene silently. He saw regret and relief in his eyes.

It was a feeling of finally finding the answer, but unfortunately I couldn't see it anymore.

"So, in the fate predicted by Toad Sage, I died before the prediction came true?" Jiraiya's tone surprisingly did not contain too much panic.

If his mission has been completed, then there is nothing to fear even if he dies.

not to mention.

This fate should have been changed.

Jiraiya looked at Silence with a complicated expression.

"This kind of bare fate is really boring." Shen Mo did not answer directly, but stretched out the branch in his hand towards Jiraiya, and said in a low voice, "Everything you have, whether it is emotions , or actions, are all puppets of fate, unfolding in front of us like a script, we can see everything at a glance - this is not worthy of being called fate at all!"

Silence has spoken out his thoughts more than once.

but now.

Jiraiya felt something deeper.

The person in front of me is almost like the reader he wrote about. Because he was dissatisfied with the plot or felt that it was not exciting enough after reading it, he simply intervened and arbitrarily tampered with the plot in an attempt to create more exciting parts.

horrible......

For the first time, Jiraiya had a terrifying awareness of the existence of silence.

Even when he knew that Silence had unrivaled strength.

There has never been a feeling of fear emerging from the bottom of my heart like now.

To the existence of silence, the whole world is like the characters in "To the Author". One thought can determine everything, including thinking.

As Silence read Jiraiya's thoughts, he felt a little weird in his heart.

This metaphor...

Isn't it just people's original speculation about the existence of higher dimensions?

It's quite appropriate.

Silence smiled and continued: "However, everything has changed since the moment I appeared in this world."

He finally tapped a certain point on the tree trunk.

That was the first time he and Tsunade met.

From this point on, the entire Destiny Tree was like a sapling sprouting in spring, constantly branching out, branching out, and becoming dense. In a short period of time, it showed explosive growth, and the entire tree crown even exceeded the size of a person. , then over a wall, and then finally...

The entire dark space is filled with branches emitting crystal light.

Jiraiya raised his head and was stunned to see this extremely beautiful and shocking sky.

This is the fate of their world, what it looks like now?

"It's beautiful." Silence also raised her head, "Infinite branches, endless possibilities. Every time you open the can, every power, idea, and even the collision between you may lead to a new one because of the can. A brand new future, this is what the Tree of Destiny should look like."

Jiraiya had to admit it.

It is indeed beautiful.

His eyes suddenly saw the ends of some branches that had stopped spreading.

I couldn't help but point there and ask, "Why doesn't this branch grow anymore?"

"There." Shen Mo glanced at it and said casually, "It's nothing. The world of this branch of destiny has been destroyed, and naturally it will not grow again."

"Destroy, destroy!?"

Jiraiya opened his mouth wide and stared at Silence with an incredulous expression on his face.

Could you please stop saying such terrible things in such a casual tone?

"This is very common." Silence shrugged, "Six Path Immortals have the power to destroy the world, and humans are a species that likes war. As you become stronger and stronger, the possibility of the world's destruction will also increase. Big, after all, there are always one or two people who want to destroy everything."

"..."

Jiraiya swallowed hard.

He suddenly realized.

Under these beautiful branches, there may be a lot of consequences that are not as good as the original destiny.

Give me back that bare tree trunk!

"Very good, I have already felt your desire." Shen Mo looked at Jiraiya with a smile, opened her other hand, and said in a loud voice, "If you want to prevent those worse fates, just work hard yourself. Struggle, because of your wish, I recommend the jar series to you, which can guide your destiny through struggle - the prophecy series!"
