It was born in the Kaguya era and was active in the Six Paths era. It once talked and laughed with the reincarnation of Asura. It has a high level of posture and is proficient in frog music. Sometimes it is confused and sometimes wise, and a mysterious smile often appears on the corner of its mouth.
Now, although it has taken a back seat, it still listens to politics from behind the curtain when trouble occurs, and its words are still very important. Rumors once said that it was dead, and it was gradually forgotten by the world. Today, only a few people know whether it is still alive.
It is Great Toad Sage - Gamamaru.
Gamamaru's life is full of legends.
When he was young, he served as Sage of Six Paths's dream mentor, helping him learn Sage Art and overthrowing the rule of Kaguya.
For the next thousand years, it lurked silently in the depths of Shinobi World, practicing the philosophy of making a fortune silently, using prophecies one after another to guide one Reincarnate after another, frantically thwarting Black Zetsu's conspiracy to save his mother.
Some people regard it as a symbol of longevity, others are willing to be its followers and spread the science of clams throughout their lives, and some even try to prove that it is a time traveler... But the truth has long been lost in the long river of history, and no one knows.
——Excerpted from "Into Shinobi World's Great Toad Sage: The legendary prophet or the driving force behind the scenes?"!"
Not to mention the street stall literature that will become popular in the future, here, under the leadership of Fukasaku, Jiraiya climbed up the steps and came to the depths of Mount Myōboku.
The first thing that catches the eye is the standing stone pillar, which serves as the door of the palace. Looking inside, it is a building that looks like a sacrificial building. The door in the middle is open. The hall has been baptized by time and exudes a simple atmosphere. It is majestic and makes people feel fearful.
After entering the palace gate, the space inside is not large, and you can have a panoramic view of the scene inside at a glance.
Directly opposite the palace door is a huge seat, with giant Scroll painted with black spells on the left and right sides.
Sitting on the seat was a huge old Toad, with an oil necklace around his neck and a hat that looked like a doctor's hat. It was Great Toad Sage.
"Elder Toad."
Sage Fukasaku stepped forward and said hello respectfully.
Jiraiya stood behind Fukasaku, looking up at Great Toad Sage.
Every time he saw Great Toad Sage, he would feel terrified. Although he was not a perceptive ninja, he could still slightly feel the huge amount of chakra in Great Toad Sage's body.
"I guess only Tailed Beast can rival it... It is indeed Toad God."
At this time, Great Toad Sage opened his eyes in a daze. The bulging eyes opened a slit and looked at Fukasaku. Then he shifted his gaze and looked at Jiraiya. After staring for a moment, he asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
Fukasaku patiently reminded, "It's little Jiraiya."
"Oh, right." Toad Sage nodded.
Jiraiya stretched out his right hand, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and smiled awkwardly.
Fukasaku looked solemn and asked, "I wonder if Elder Toad has any new instructions for summoning little Jiraiya this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya showed a serious expression.
"Yeah."
Toad Sage's last note was very long, and after pondering for a while, his voice was extremely old. He looked at little Jiraiya and asked, "What's your name?"
Jiraiya's serious expression suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Toad Sage speechlessly.
Sage Fukasaku explained patiently again, "Elder Toad, it's Jiraiya, Jiraiya!"
Sage Shima complained, "Really, you obviously asked him to come here, what a demented old man..."
Sage Fukasaku hurriedly waved his hands and scolded, "My mother, how can you call Elder Toad a demented old man?"
"I'm just telling the truth..."
"Okay, don't quarrel. Husband and wife should live in harmony." Toad Sage opened his eyes and opened the gap a little, and said, "The reason why I called Jiraiya is because I had a dream."
"Well... as you know, it's a prophecy."
Jiraiya asked, "What kind of dream is it."
"In the dream, the entire Shinobi World will disappear..."
"What?" Not only Jiraiya, but also Fukasaku and Shima were shocked.
Shinobi World has existed since the decline of the Samurai era. How serious a war will it take for hundreds of years to make the entire Shinobi World disappear?
Jiraiya frowned and asked, "Great Toad Sage, didn't you say before that my apprentice would bring major changes to the ninja world, and that this change would either bring stability or destroy it?
Why has it suddenly become destroyed now? "
Toad Sage was silent for a moment and said, "My predictions have never been missed before, but this time is different. At a certain point in time, something happened..."
"An accident?"
"Yes, a person who does not belong to the past or the future appears in Shinobi World. His existence has caused changes in everything. This change will lead to the complete disappearance of Shinobi World..."
"Is this kind of disappearance good or bad?"
Toad Sage's tone became erratic, and he said, "I don't know either, but your disciple will be directly involved... He will become one of the leaders, and mankind will move toward stability or destruction."
Jiraiya remained silent.
He only has four apprentices now, the three little ones Minato and Land of Rain.
Because of Rinnegan, he always thought that Nagato was Child of Prophecy, but now he is a little unsure.
Toad Sage's gaze slowly moved from the crowd to the sky.
It still remembers the first time it brought Hagoromo into Mount Myōboku. At that time, the whole world was facing the threat of Kaguya. It relied on its own prophecy ability and Sage Art to help Hagoromo Seal defeat Kaguya...
In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed, and the world is once again facing a threat, but this time it is unable to see clearly what the future will ultimately bring...
I can only hope that this fate that has lasted for thousands of years will end soon. It is already a little tired of helping Hagoromo take care of his son.
Lost in the memories of the past, Great Toad Sage drowsily closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
At this time, the people in the hall and Toad noticed that Toad Sage was asleep.
"Okay, I'm going to continue practicing!" Jiraiya made up his mind. "No matter what happens in the future, I will work hard to become stronger."
Sage Fukasaku nodded and said, "That's right."
Jiraiya bent down and put the two immortals on his shoulders, and walked out of the hall.
"By the way, Master Fukasaku, can you let Minato also learn from Sage Art?"
Fukasaku shook his head. "Little Minato is too young, and his amount of chakra is too small. If you want to activate Sage Mode during battle, it will take a long time to prepare. Let's wait for another two years."
"Well, I'm impatient." Jiraiya nodded.
At this moment, Sage Shima, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly turned around and asked, "Little Jiraiya, there is something I have always wanted to ask you."
"What's going on?"
"You said you were going on a trip with little Tsunade before. Why did Mount Myōboku suddenly come here? Where is little Tsunade?"
Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said, "I'm looking for her too, but she'd better pray that I don't find her!"
"Why?"
"Because I'll break her legs."
"..."
