Toad Sage

Ming Jing moved through the streets, occasionally stopping to inspect the goods displayed by roadside vendors. This absentminded manner made it impossible for Tsukikyuu Shang Mei to pinpoint his true location, let alone find him.

"Hm?" Ming Jing sensed that the sunlight seemed to have been blocked out. He looked up and discovered that the once-clear sky had somehow become covered in dark clouds.

"Looks like it's going to rain again. The sun only just came out..." The vendor also looked up at the sky and complained helplessly. Noticing that Ming Jing's expression was somewhat off, he offered with an awkward grin, "If you didn't bring any rain gear, why not buy a straw raincoat? Mine are all handmade, and the quality is guaranteed!"

"No need. These Anko Dango are delicious." Ming Jing shook his head, his figure gradually fading before vanishing right in front of the vendor. The terrified man fainted on the spot, convinced he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight.

This time, Ming Jing found Jiraiya rather quickly. However, by the time he arrived, Jiraiya had already been rammed into a thick wall by an enormous water buffalo. Ming Jing glanced at the sky. It seemed Jiraiya would not die just yet. Sure enough, in the next moment, an extremely high-temperature blaze burst from within the wall. The giant water buffalo had no chance to resist and was instantly killed cleanly and decisively!

Ming Jing listened closely and heard two voices he knew very well coming from inside the wall. "Kid, why do you always summon us in places this noisy? Of course Gama Bunta gets angry like this!"

"Don't say that, dear. Little Jiraiya had no choice because of the circumstances, right?"

"Stop defending him, dear. Honestly."

So it was Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima!
