Jiraiya is sitting on a stone slab standing on a sharp stone peak in Mt. Miaomu, one of the three holy places.
Jiraiya has been practicing senjutsu for a long time. When he was a genin, he was reverse-channeled to the Holy Land of Mt. Myoboku because he used a psychic technique without a contract.
At that time, as the person who had prophesied from the mouth of the great toad sage, Jiraiya began to practice senjutsu under the guidance of Fukasaku sage.
After so many years of practice, Jiraiya's celestial arts have made slow progress, not to mention reaching the level of masters.
At least now, Jiraiya, who has practiced senjutsu for several years, is still unable to freely enter the sage mode to fight.
Jiraiya was born with a lot of chakra (Jing 10), and his own physique is suitable for practicing celestial arts.
What restricts his progress is the control of senjutsu chakra. When sitting quietly, Jiraiya can well maintain the balance of natural energy and chakra.
But once he takes action, especially in a fierce battle, it will be difficult for Jiraiya to maintain such a balance.
This year, Jiraiya chose to enter Mount Myoboku for special training in order to overcome this problem and ensure that he could use Sage Mode in battle.
Although he didn't say anything, Jiraiya felt a sense of urgency in his heart when he saw that his fellow students were making continuous progress and achieving results in their respective fields.
He didn't want to fall behind Tsunade, Kizaru, and Orochimaru. He also wanted to make his own contribution to the village and his companions.
"Jiraiya, Jiraiya!"
"oh!"
The shouts from below interrupted Jiraiya's meditation. He opened his eyes and jumped off the stone slab.
"Jiraiya, the great master has asked you to come over."
In front of Jiraiya, Gamabunta, who was already growing in size, conveyed the orders of the great Toad Sage.
"The great master has a new prophecy to tell you."
Hearing this, Jiraiya suddenly became curious, "Really? What kind of prophecy? Bunta!"
"Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"
After saying that, Bunta turned around, took Jiraiya with him, and jumped towards the palace where the Great Toad Sage was.
In the tall, dark palace, a huge toad fairy sat on a basin-shaped armchair with water.
Directly under the body of the Big Toad Immortal, and directly in front of the water basin facing out, is painted in a rectangular red, with the word "仙" written in the middle.
On the high platforms on the left and right of the basin-shaped armchair, there is an old toad about the size of a baby standing on each side. They are Gamabunta's parents, Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin.
The two immortals are the capable men of the Great Toad Immortal and the actual managers of Miaomu Mountain.
"Hey...you! It's finally here, it's finally here!" The Great Toad Sage, who was sitting on his seat, saw Jiraiya entering the palace.
Seeing Jiraiya walking forward, the Great Toad Sage who had been talking just now suddenly fell into a brief silence.
"Who are you?"
Jiraiya, who had become accustomed to the daily intermittent dementia of the Great Toad Sage, was just about to speak when Fukasaku Sage on the high platform in front of him already spoke.
"My lord, it's Jiraiya, Jiraiya." Fukasaku Sennin reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh... that's right, it's Jiraiya!" The giant toad sage was reminded and finally thought about it, "You have grown up again!"
"Jiraiya! The great master has a new prophecy to tell you." Fukasaku Sage said seriously.
"Yes!" Half squatting on the ground, Jiraiya looked at the Great Toad Sage expectantly.
Opening his eyes slightly, the Great Toad Sage looked at Jiraiya. He just opened his mouth and fell into a brief silence before he spoke.
"Um...who are you?"
With his head hanging down, Jiraiya was left speechless.
"Really, the old man is getting more and more stupid!" Sitting on the high platform on the other side, Fukasaku Sennin's wife, Shima Sennin, complained helplessly.
"My dear, how can you say that the elder is demented?" Fukasaku Sennin quickly educated him.
After saying that, Fukasaku Sennin looked at the Great Toad Sennin again and reminded him: "Master, this is Jiraiya. You have to tell him a new prophecy."
"Oh!" The Great Toad Sage seemed to remember, looking at Jiraiya below, he began to talk about the new prophecy he had just dreamed of recently.
"Jiraiya, I saw a...giant of light. That giant was devouring natural energy. He...he broke the tree, he brought destruction, he ended the existence of ninjas..."
Listening to the Great Toad Sage's narration, Jiraiya's expression gradually changed from shock to solemnity.
Not only Jiraiya, but also the two immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, had serious expressions.
"In the destruction, on the ruins of the ninja world, he established a unified country, a weird country, a peaceful country..."
At this point, the Great Toad Immortal stopped, as if the prophecy ended there.
"What kind of country is that? Are there any other prophecies later?" Jiraiya stood up and asked eagerly.
"I...I don't know either," the big toad seemed a little confused, with uncertainty in his tone, "I also saw a glowing door, and on the other side of the door was a huge ocean.",
"Where is that door?" Jiraiya asked.
"Konoha."
"Konoha?" Jiraiya shouted excitedly, "Why does Konoha have doors and oceans?"
"Jiraiya, calm down!" Seeing that Jiraiya was gradually losing his temper due to his excitement, Fukasaku Sennin reminded him.
Jiraiya's expression seemed to be frozen. After being silent for a while, he whispered: "Sorry!"
"That dream is from Mohu. I can't see everything clearly. I only know that in the future, this world will undergo huge changes, changes that will surpass all other changes." This time, even the Great Toad Immortal was a little bit disappointed in the prediction.
Not confident.
If this prophecy really comes true, it means that its previous prophecies and the future of Jiraiya he saw have all changed.
"Is this change good or bad?" From the prophecy, Jiraiya heard destruction, but he also heard about a peaceful and unified new country. He didn't know whether this was good or bad.
"Maybe it's good!" The Great Toad Immortal looked at Jiraiya and said meaningfully.
His expression changed again, and Jiraiya asked: "Why?"
Without saying anything, the Great Toad Immortal shook his head.
"I...what should I do?" Jiraiya asked after hesitating.
"Find the giant and bring him to Mount Miaomu. I want to see him." The Great Toad Immortal gave the answer.
"How should I find it?" Touching his head, Jiraiya felt a little confused.
"You will find him, and you will be by his side in the future. Jiraiya, remember my words, when you meet that giant, bring him to Mt. Myoboku to meet me." This time, the big toad emphasized his tone.
Let’s talk about the second half.
"I understand! If I meet him, I will definitely bring him." Jiraiya promised seriously.
"Go down! I want to rest." The Great Toad Immortal said calmly.
"Yes!" Jiraiya turned and left the palace.
Watching Jiraiya walk out of the palace, watching Jiraiya disappear from sight, Fukasaku Sage with a worried look on his face looked at the Great Toad Sage again.
"My lord, that prophecy..."
"I saw it. I saw Jiraiya and the ninjas of Konoha. They were all beside the giant. They fought side by side with the giant." Looking down at Fukasaku, the Great Toad Sage said calmly.
"My lord, what should we do in the future?" Fukasaku's expression became even more worried when he heard the hidden part of the prophecy made by the great toad sage in front of Jiraiya.
"I don't know either." This was the first time that the Great Toad Sage was unable to give guidance in front of Fukasaku and Shima.
"Wait until Jiraiya brings the giant! I want to meet that mysterious giant first." A trace of imperceptible worry flashed across the face of the Great Toad Sage.
Fukasaku and Shima, the couple looked at each other. They did not continue to ask questions to the Great Toad Sage. They saw the uncertainty of the great master, and also saw the trace of worry.
Something big will happen in the future that will change the world, and this time, even the Great Toad Immortal can't make the right choice.
It was not just the three immortals in the palace who were worried about the future. Jiraiya, who heard the prophecy, was also filled with worries.
Destruction and rebirth, war and unity, the mysterious Giant of Light, and the Gate of Light standing in Konoha, the new prophecy completely disrupted Jiraiya's plans for the future.
Maybe it's good? Why?
There is also the Giant of Light. The Great Toad Immortal said that he would meet him in the future. Should he look for him?
Giant of light?
Holding his head in distress, Jiraiya knew a ninja who could use light escape. That ninja's name was Kizaru, and he was his junior brother.
Could it be that Kizaru is the giant of light?
Kizaru is considered tall in the ninja world, but in any case, he is not a giant!
"Ah!" Jiraiya yelled out in frustration, spreading his hands and lying on the ground with a headache.
Looking at the sky, Jiraiya sat up again after thinking wildly for a long time.
No, I need off-site support!
With a clear self-understanding of his own brain, Jiraiya decided to seek help from the outside.
After making the decision to return to Konoha, Jiraiya notified Gamabunta and asked him to help him inform the two immortals Fukasaku and Shima, and then left Mt. Myoboku.
In the office of the ninja school in Konoha Village, Kizaru just received some good news.
After Danzo's cordial visit, several die-hard ninja clan members who disagreed with their descendants being divided into separate classes for scientific research and medical classes all changed their minds and agreed.
"Oh! As expected of my uncle, he is really good at communicating with others!" Looking at the class placement intention form that had just been handed in and signed by parents, Kizaru showed a satisfied smile.
Nara Shikaku, who was lying on the table and was still on vacation, but was dragged to school every day by Kizaru, curled his lips.
Good at communication? Physical way?
"Hey! I said, why did you call me here today?" Looking at Kizaru, Shikaku asked helplessly.
"Oh! Nothing happened? I was worried that you would be too bored at home alone, so I called you to school to accompany you." Kizaru said with a smile.
"You're such a bad guy!" Faced with Kizaru's answer, Shikaku became speechless, "I'm going home."
"You're here, just stay!" Kizaru said with a smile as he looked at Shikaku standing up.
"Fuck!" Lujiu complained, but still sat down.
"The young man of the Uchiha family wants to work in the school. What position do you think is suitable?" Kizaru asked, looking at Shikaku, in an assessment manner.
After glancing at Kizaru, Shikaku began to think.
"How about the assistant principal?"
"What about you?" Kizaru immediately guessed Shikaku's little thoughts. This guy didn't want to work anymore.
"Me? Of course I study hard! I'm still a student!" Shikaku pointed at himself and emphasized.
