"What? What happened to me?"
Although the Great Toad Sage had spoken rather quietly afterward, Jiraiya had still vaguely heard his own name being mentioned, which was why he asked.
However, the Great Toad Sage clearly had no way to reveal what he had foreseen.
After all, among the countless prophecies the Great Toad Sage had seen concerning Jiraiya, most of Jiraiya's endings had not been good.
Yet just as the outcome he had foreseen had gained new developments and seemed to be shifting toward a favorable ending, it now appeared to be reverting again. The Great Toad Sage was anxious, but there was much he could not say!
"It's nothing, Jiraiya. Your main task now is to find the Child of Destiny as soon as possible, then make your preparations."
The Great Toad Sage spoke meaningfully.

That way, perhaps Jiraiya could avoid the certain death awaiting him once that mysterious person vanished and the Ninja World returned to its original course of history!
"No, wait! Sage, didn't you say that mysterious person disrupted the Ninja World's original historical course? Then why are you saying he can bring peace to the Ninja World?"
Seeing that the Great Toad Sage wanted to skip over the subject, Jiraiya could no longer sit still. He even forgot to pursue the matter of his own fate, wanting only to keep digging into the mystery surrounding that person.
In Jiraiya's habitual way of thinking, whoever disrupted the Ninja World's original historical course ought to be the greatest villain.
