Jiraiya kept emphasizing the urgency of the situation, Sage Shima had no choice but to take Jiraiya to the Mount Myōboku. Then, she jumped to the ear of the Great Toad Sage Great Toad Sage and woke him up from his deep sleep.
" Great Toad Sage, Naruto is critically injured and on the verge of death, hurry up and give it to me..."
Jiraiya had barely opened his mouth, before he could finish speaking, when the Great Toad Sage, who had just opened his eyes, started snoring again.
Sage Shima had no choice but to wake him up again.
" The Great Toad Sage, Naruto, he..."
"Snoring--"
"..."
" Sage Shima, why don't you try this?"
Jiraiya pulled out a senbon (Senbon) from behind his back.
"How dare you, Jiraiya! You want to hurt the Great Toad Sage?! You keep rambling on and on, not getting to the point, and now you blame the Great Toad Sage for not being awake long enough?"
Sage Shima was immediately enraged upon seeing this.
Before this, no one knew why the Great Toad Sage always liked to sleep.
But ever since the history of the Shinobi World (and its unofficial origins) came into being, Sage Shima has understood.
The Great Toad Sage made a grand prophecy, which backfired, forcing him to fall into a constant slumber.
This was a great sacrifice.
Even if the other toads of Mount Myōboku had to care for the Great Toad Sage for hundreds or thousands of years, it would still be worth it.
"Alright, Sage Shima, please wake up the Great Toad Sage one last time."
Jiraiya had no choice but to settle for second best.
Since there's no way to prolong the Great Toad Sage's awakening time, the only option is to shorten one's own time, just as Sage Shima suggested.
" Naruto's dying! Give me the talisman!"
The moment Jiraiya saw the Great Toad Sage open his eyes, he shouted at the Great Toad Sage at top speed.
After Jiraiya finished shouting, he stared nervously at the Great Toad Sage, afraid that it would yawn and fall asleep Past.
However, this time the Great Toad Sage seemed to have been disturbed by Jiraiya's voice and did not fall asleep Past.
Instead, they turned their attention to Jiraiya below.
Just when Jiraiya thought he had succeeded, the Great Toad Sage slowly uttered, "What did you just say?"
fall!
Jiraiya collapsed in despair.
"Talismans, talismans... Jiraiya know where I heard you have some talismans that can bring the dead back to life, but I want to ask you for one to save Naruto —by the way, what's wrong with Naruto?"
Sage Shima helped Jiraiya repeat it to the Great Toad Sage.
"Oh, Naruto, the Child of Prophecy, the boy who laughs wildly as he summons the Nine Tailed Beasts..."
The Great Toad Sage rolled his eyes and mumbled something indistinctly.
"Ah?"
Sage Shima picked at his ears, wondering if he had misheard something.
This feels a little different from what I said before.
" Great Toad Sage, talismans, talismans!"
Jiraiya hearing the Great Toad Sage's reply, Jiraiya quickly sprang to his feet.
"A talisman..."
"Right!"
What is that?
"... A piece of paper, a piece of paper imbued with Senjutsu Chakra!"
"Oh, that's the one."
The Great Toad Sage seemed to truly understand, and he reached behind him, pulled out a piece of paper, and threw it at Jiraiya.
"That's great, the Great Toad Sage isn't completely senile yet."
Jiraiya jumped up excitedly, caught the "talisman," and carefully stuffed it into his pocket.
When Jiraiya landed on the ground and looked up, the Great Toad Sage had already fallen Past.
"Sleeping so much? I've heard Orochimaru and Tsunade. Even the White Snake Sage and the Katsuyu don't sleep this much. Could it really be like what's written in the novels?"
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
The novel says that the Great Toad Sage and the Sage of Six Paths had a secret relationship, and later the Sage of Six Paths abandoned the Great Toad Sage and became obsessed with the Tailed Beast.
To avenge the Sage of Six Paths for abandoning him, the Great Toad Sage prophesies that the Sage of Sage of Six Paths ' son will be reincarnated and steal away his beloved Tailed Beast.
Jiraiya. After all, as a contractor of Mount Myōboku, I was relaxed on the surface, but I still respected the Great Toad Sage in my heart.
But now it feels more and more real.
It wasn't just the Great Toad Sage who changed, but also the Shinobi World.
"Forget it, I shouldn't think about it anymore. I need to get back and save Naruto first."
Jiraiya shook his head and used a summoning technique to return to Konoha.
As soon as he returned to Konoha, he heard a familiar roar—" Naruto Uzumaki, you're asking for death!!!"
Jiraiya a chill run down his spine, almost making Niao vomit a couple of tears.
It took him a while to realize that Tsunade wasn't calling him.
Jiraiya shakily took the talisman out of his pocket.
He originally intended to rescue Naruto himself, but now it seems that if he dares to Past, Naruto might not die, but he will definitely die.
Tsunade would definitely mistakenly believe that he instigated Naruto to come.
Although it was indeed he who instigated it.
But he really didn't make Naruto buy any extra items!
It's almost too late, what should I do?
Jiraiya's gaze swept around and he spotted Team 8 reuniting with their teammates, his eyes lighting up immediately.
"That."
Jiraiya descended from the sky and landed among the group, startling the three of them.
" Lord Jiraiya?"
Shino immediately recognized the person who had come.
"It is I, Your Excellency. I have an important and urgent task to entrust to you. I hope that you will put aside whatever you are currently doing."
This concerns Naruto's life or death.
Take this.
Naruto is about to suffer a severe injury; this can save his life. I'm entrusting it to you."
Jiraiya took out a talisman.
The three looked at each other in bewilderment.
In the end, it was Kiba Inuzuka, with the most flamboyant personality, who accepted the challenge.
" Lord Jiraiya, why don't you go save Naruto yourself? And what's wrong with Naruto? Why is he about to die?"
Kiba Inuzuka looked puzzled.
His problem is also Shino and Hinata's problem.
"I still have to go and save the ninjas from other villages. I can't side with Naruto just because Naruto's my student."
Jiraiya raised his chin, his expression one of selflessness and righteous indignation.
Then, without even appreciating or basking in the admiring gazes of his juniors, he turned and left without looking back.
This time, Jiraiya really ran away.
He knew that if Team 8 went to rescue Naruto, they would definitely succeed, but Tsunade would be curious about where the talismans in their hands came from.
If they are questioned again and confess, Tsunade will still suspect him.
If he didn't run, Tsunade could have Hinata Byakugan to search, Shino his insects to search, and Kiba use Akamaru to smell him. He would have been exposed the moment he started spying from the sidelines.
To save his own life, Jiraiya had no choice but to flee Konoha.
As for the widespread adoption of Sage Mode, that really can only be left to Naruto.
Hopefully, Naruto can rise from the ashes after enduring the first wave of devastation.
