Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

#139 - Chapter 139: Big Toad Immortal

As the scenery changed before their eyes, in just a moment, Jiraiya and Minato appeared on Mount Myōboku.

One of them was long accustomed to the Reverse Summoning Technique, and the other was a master of Space-Time Ninjutsu, so naturally, they didn't feel any discomfort.

Jiraiya was already very familiar with Mount Myōboku, but Minato was visiting for the first time.

All he could see was a forest where huge plants grew everywhere, with various frogs and giant insects resting on the vines and branches of the plants. In the distance, there was also a huge waterfall flowing with something that looked like oil, and many toad statues stood beside it.

Just as Minato was marveling at the beauty of Mount Myōboku, he heard a familiar voice in his ear.

"You've come, Jiraiya, Minato!"

"Lord Fukasaku, long time no see."

Jiraiya looked as unreliable as ever, while Minato bowed politely.

"Greetings, Lord Fukasaku!"

The small toad Fukasaku, seeing this, retorted.

"Jiraiya, you should learn more from your disciple. You're always so unreliable, no wonder you still can't master perfect Sage Mode."

After saying that, he directly controlled the large toad under his feet and turned around.

"Come with me, the Great Lord is waiting for you!"

"The Great Toad Sage!?"

Minato was stunned. Of course, he knew of the existence of the Toad Sage, who was said to have existed for thousands of years and was the founder of Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya was also a little surprised.

"Great Toad Sage, what does he want with me and Minato?"

Fukasaku's expression became solemn as he said.

"The Great Lord had another dream!"

"!!!"

Jiraiya was shocked, and his face also became heavy. The last time the Great Toad Sage had a dream, it was when he foresaw the Child of Prophecy. Minato had also heard Master Jiraiya talk about the Child of Prophecy, and the clever him immediately thought of something.

So, the two of them followed silently...

Before long, the two arrived at a huge palace.

The main hall was empty, with only a huge stone chair like a small mountain placed at the top of the hall. Sitting on it was a toad with brown skin, wearing a hat, and looking very old, with a huge bead with the word "Oil" written on it hanging around its neck. This was the founder of Mount Myōboku: the Great Toad Sage.

Behind the toad throne, there was a row of scrolls like small mountains.

When Fukasaku brought Jiraiya and Minato here, the Great Toad Sage seemed to be taking a nap. Only after Fukasaku's reminder did the Great Toad Sage slowly open his eyes.

"Oh, it's Jiraiya, and your disciple Minato!"

The Great Toad Sage's words surprised Jiraiya, because in his memory, the Great Toad Sage's memory wasn't good, as if he had Alzheimer's disease, often forgetting his name. But this time, not only did he not forget him, he even knew Minato's name.

At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly felt an unusual atmosphere.

Minato bowed politely.

"Minato Namikaze, greetings to the Great Toad Sage!"

"Ah..."

The Great Toad Sage's tone was still old and trembling.

"What an outstanding young man. I see a nostalgic, vast chakra within you..."

"!!!"

Minato was shocked and wanted to ask what was going on, but the Great Toad Sage ignored him and looked at Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya, I asked Fukasaku to bring you here to tell you something!"

With Jiraiya and Minato both feeling a little nervous, the Great Toad Sage spoke of his dream.

"The dream has disappeared!"

"!!!"

The Great Toad Sage's short four words stunned Jiraiya.

"The dream has disappeared, what does that mean?"

The Great Toad Sage suddenly fell into a daze and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Fukasaku could only say to Jiraiya on behalf of the Great Toad Sage.

"That's right, Jiraiya, do you remember the Great Lord's prophecy to you?"

How could Jiraiya forget?

"But recently, the Great Lord had another dream, but in the dream, those dreams related to you have disappeared."

Jiraiya was stunned. The dreams related to him had disappeared, what did that mean!?

Minato, who was on the side, pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked Fukasaku.

"Lord Fukasaku, does the Great Toad Sage mean that the future has changed?"

Jiraiya finally understood.

Unfortunately, Fukasaku shook his head.

"No... The Great Lord's dream doesn't necessarily mean that the future has changed, but one thing is certain, the future has become unpredictable, and even the Great Lord can't see it clearly..."

"!!!"

At this moment, Jiraiya and Minato, who understood Fukasaku's meaning, fell into silence, and the entire hall became quiet.

After a long time, Jiraiya took a deep breath and asked.

"What about the Child of Prophecy!?"

Fukasaku shook his head.

Jiraiya's pupils shrank suddenly. He had spent most of his life searching for the future Child of Prophecy, but now, the Great Toad Sage was telling him that the Child of Prophecy no longer existed.

Minato saw it very clearly and said.

"Then is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

It was the Great Toad Sage, who had fallen into a daze, who answered, leisurely.

"Well... From now on, the fate of the entire ninja world is in your own hands."

After saying that, he yawned and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Fukasaku bowed to the sleeping Great Toad Sage and led the confused Jiraiya and the thoughtful Minato away.

After returning to the forest, Jiraiya looked at his disciple, who had been silent and frowning, and asked.

"Minato, did you think of something?"

Minato nodded, his eyes lit up, and said to Jiraiya.

"Master Jiraiya, do you remember what Elder Danzō said about not being able to sense the Fourth Kazekage's chakra? And the west..."

Jiraiya's pupils shrank instantly...
