Miaomu Mountain.

In the ancient and solemn temple hall, a group of people are standing here.

I saw the two elders of Mount Myoboku - Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin - standing on the high platforms on both sides of the Great Toad Sennin, and below, Jiraiya who had just brought Naruto to Mount Myoboku to see the Great Toad Sennin.

Compared to Jiraiya, who had already seen the Great Toad Sage, after Naruto saw the Great Toad Sage's huge mountain-like body, he immediately opened his mouth wide and looked at the Great Toad Sage in front of him with a stunned expression.

Apparently he was shocked by the huge body of the Great Toad Immortal.

Such a huge body is simply challenging the limits of human common sense.

Naruto was astonished by the huge body of the Great Toad Sage, while Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage standing on both sides of the high platform were also observing Naruto with curious eyes.

Son of prophecy.

This kind of rumor is not new to Miaomu Mountain.

It must have been more than 700 years ago. At that time, human power was far less powerful than it is now. The great powers also changed many times, wars continued, and rivers of blood flowed everywhere.

The Senju, Uchiha, Hagoromo and other powerful ninja clans could be said to be the most powerful forces in the human world at that time. Their status and power were comparable to those of today's great powers. However, in successive years of battles, the effective strength of each ninja clan continued to increase.

It decreased, and then evolved into the chaos of the Warring States Period, and then the current one-country-one-village era.

Since then, they have learned about the Son of Prophecy from the mouth of the Great Toad Fairy.

Such words have been circulating in Miaomu Mountain for at least more than seven hundred years.

They have always existed even before these two immortals were born.

Now, they finally met the son of prophecy.

Well, how should I put it...

It's a bit silly. This was the first reaction of Fukasaku-sennin and Shima-sennin after seeing Naruto.

The word "silly" popped out of my mind instantly.

Even the two immortals who had lived for eight hundred years couldn't help but wonder, was this really the son of prophecy?

That fourth-generation Hokage Minato's child?

When Naruto and his father Minato were brought out to compete, the two immortals didn't even know what to say.

No matter how you look at it, Minato looks more like the child of prophecy. Anyway, he has blue eyes and has an indissoluble bond with the tailed beast...

Although he thought so in his heart, Fukasaku Sage coughed, turned to the Toad Sage who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Sir, according to your instructions, Jiraiya has come with the Son of Prophecy."

The giant toad sage who was still sleeping seemed to have heard Fukasaku sage's call. His huge body like a mountain moved slightly. His whole body seemed to be full of fatigue and weakness, and he reluctantly opened his turbid eyes.

Finally, he lowered his head slightly and saw Naruto and Jiraiya standing below.

"Open your eyes..."

Naruto, who looked at the Great Toad Sage curiously, showed surprise.

No matter which way you look at it, the opponent's body is too big.

He lamented the wonder of nature that it was possible to raise such a huge toad.

However, when Naruto looked at the Great Toad Immortal with curious eyes, the Great Toad Immortal also stared at Naruto with curious eyes, as if they had transcended the obstacles of time and space. For a moment, the two of them seemed to have known each other as old friends.

Unnaturally, a cordial atmosphere lingered between the two of them.

This feeling made Naruto feel extremely strange.

It was obviously the first time they met, but... he seemed to have known this toad a long time ago.

"Big Toad Immortal, I have brought the Son of Prophecy here, um... you can explain the current situation."

Jiraiya said respectfully.

Putting aside issues of seniority, he can be said to be a disciple personally taught by Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin, and the celestial arts of these two great immortals were taught by Otoad Sennin.

In terms of seniority, he is the disciple of the Great Toad Immortal.

Even if we don't talk about seniority, the abyss of celestial chakra in the body of the Great Toad Sage is enough to make Jiraiya respect him from the bottom of his heart.

Although he knew that the body of the Great Toad Immortal was much weaker than before and looked like he was lacking in energy, but even so, Jiraiya did not dare to underestimate the Great Toad Immortal.

A sage who has lived for thousands of years... Such a great existence, the wisdom and knowledge it possesses will be the key to changing the world of ninjas!

Jiraiya deeply agrees with this.

He always firmly believed that compared to the thousand years of experience and knowledge of the Great Toad Immortal, human wisdom was simply incomparable.

Faced with Jiraiya's words, the Great Toad Sage shifted his gaze from Naruto to Jiraiya and became silent.

When he saw the great toad sage suddenly stopped speaking when it was his turn, Jiraiya's heart sank. Could it be that he had made another bad prophecy?

However, when Jiraiya was feeling uneasy, the Great Toad Immortal suddenly said, "Who are you?"

"..."

"..."

Everyone in the hall almost fell down when they heard these words.

"Have you finally admitted that you are an old fool?"

Shima Sennin covered his forehead and started mocking, looking quite helpless.

"Ahem, kid, don't fucking say that. The eldest master is old and his memory is inevitably not very good. Elder lord, this is Jiraiya, the one who is looking for the son of the prophecy."

Fukasaku Sage explained to Big Toad Sage.

The Great Toad Sage finally woke up from a dream: "Oh...it's little Jiraiya. Sorry, I didn't expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye. I almost didn't recognize it."

"No, I should have been here once before."

Even though he said that, Jiraiya thought that his words were ignored.

The faces of Fukasaku-sennin and Shima-sennin looked even more helpless.

Even immortals seem to be unable to escape the stranglehold of time.

Even the two of them, compared to their prime years, their strength has declined a lot.

But like the Great Toad Immortal, his memory has begun to decline, and he may even be suspected of Alzheimer's disease, but it's not to that extent.

According to their predictions, the natural life span can last another two to three hundred years before dying.

"Well, let's get down to business...what's your name?"

The Great Toad Sage turned his attention to Naruto again and asked slowly.

Naruto stepped forward suspiciously, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Uzumaki Naruto."

"Naruto Uzumaki...is exactly as predicted."

Although he was very weak, the tone of the Great Toad Immortal clearly revealed joy, sweeping away his previous lifeless appearance.

"Prophecy?"

Naruto didn't know why and looked at the Great Toad Sage.

"Yes... according to the prophecy, there will be a huge disaster in the ninja world, and you are the key to it and the savior of the ninja world."

"Um, are you kidding me?"

After Naruto heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, as if he didn't know how to answer.

After all, he is just a genin in Konoha, and he has not even passed the chunin exam. Asking him to save the ninja world... This statement is a bit too nonsense.

"Naruto, the Great Toad Sage is not joking with you, you are the key to changing the world."

Jiraiya said from the side.

"Even if you say so, the lustful immortal, I'm just a genin...compared to this, it's better to teach me how to practice. I don't have time to waste now."

Naruto said.

Just when Jiraiya was about to say something, the Great Toad Sage smiled and said, "Yes, even the children of prophecy need power to change everything. Fukasaku, the children of prophecy are entrusted to you to teach them."

"Okay, sir."

Fukasaku Sennin nodded and agreed.

After saying that, the Great Toad Immortal closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

"Why did you fall asleep?"

Seeing the Great Toad Immortal ignore everyone and fall asleep, Naruto asked doubtfully.

Fukasaku Sage said: "Little Naruto, don't worry, the elder is always like this. After all, he is quite old and needs sleep a lot of time to delay the aging of the body. In fact, it is predicted that the future will be more draining than imagined.

energy."

If this were not the case, it would not have weakened like this after just a thousand years. Fukasaku Sennin understands this.

Comparing the Slug Immortal of Shiggou Forest and the White Snake Immortal of Ryūchi Cave, the body of the Great Toad Immortal who leads Mt. Miaomu is the first to enter old age, and it is to the extent that half of his body has stepped into the coffin board.

Although he possesses senjutsu chakra that surpasses the tailed beasts in his body, how much of this strength can he still use?

Thinking of this, Fukasaku Sennin couldn't help but feel a hint of worry in his eyes.
