The Great Toad Sage who loved divination

He went to ask the Great Toad Sage some questions.

Jiraiya said casually.

"Um..."

"Um?!!"

The Gamariki's blank stare widened instantly.

Who is he going to see?

"The Great Toad Sage?"

"No, you can't just meet the Great Toad Sage like that, especially not to ask him about something. You can't just ask; you have to ask him directly!"

The Gamariki, which had initially seemed somewhat Tang-like, suddenly became clear-headed.

"Uh, please ask, please ask."

Jiraiya nodded perfunctorily.

Kanami remained silent.

The Gamariki wrapped its two front paws around its head. "That's more like it, but how could the Great Toad Sage possibly answer his questions so easily..."

At this point, it glanced at Kanami.

The amount of Chakra in Kanami and his temperament, which differed from Naruto's, made it very concerned.

Even so, it didn't believe that the Great Toad Sage would answer such a person's questions.

After all, on Mount Myōboku, even when facing their own descendants, the Great Toad Sage always kept secrets and rarely performed fortune-telling for them.

"Well, you take Kanami there first."

"Okay."

With a "bang".

The Gamariki vanished from the spot.

Jiraiya turned to look at Kanami and said, "Kanami, be careful with your words and actions when you get to Mount Myōboku."

Kanami nodded. "Mm."

He understood Jiraiya's meaning: he was afraid that Jiraiya's arrogance would displease the Great Toad Sage. It would be better if Jiraiya didn't answer his questions, but he was afraid that Jiraiya would anger the Great Toad Sage and punish him.

"Bang!"

The next second, Kanami disappeared from Jiraiya's sight.

At this moment, Jiraiya stood facing an empty room and murmured softly, "Kanami has never been arrogant, so I didn't really need to remind him like that."

He subconsciously regarded the genius Kanami as one of those arrogant and ignorant young geniuses.

Afterwards, he chuckled and lay back down on the hospital bed.

"I wonder what kind of expression the Great Toad Sage will have when he meets the Child of Prophecy, who exists outside of this framework, and Kanami."

A sudden dizziness ensued.

When Kanami opened his eyes again, the scene before him had changed from the ceiling of Konoha Hospital to a clear blue sky, and the scenery around him was very much in line with his memory of Mount Myōboku.

Plump, huge leaves, green hills and clear waters.

"Feng... An, let's go. The Great Toad Sage already knows about your request to see Great Toad Sage."

The Gamariki led the way.

When he tried to ask the Great Toad Sage before, he learned from the Great Toad Sage that the Sage already knew that someone was coming to find him.

"Good."

Kanami followed behind the Gamariki.

After walking for a while, Kanami saw a familiar figure.

Naruto!

Naruto Uzumaki!

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki was meditating on a platform attached to a very thin pole.

On the same platform nearby, a Toad was staring at him.

However, at this moment, Naruto Uzumaki was meditating peacefully, did not notice Kanami.

Kanami didn't disturb Naruto either.

As far as I remember, Naruto learned the Mount Myōboku Senjutsu in a very short time, much shorter than it took Hinata and me in Slug Forest.

Kanami thought to himself silently.

However, a large part of the reason he and Hinata spent so much time together was because they enjoyed some alone time in Slug Forest, a feeling that was simply too captivating for them.

The Slug Forest was practically their paradise.

"Arrive."

The Gamariki jumped aside.

After regaining his senses, Kanami briefly looked around.

This is a cave, dimly lit, blocking most of the sunlight.

In the center of the cave, a large Toad sat prominently.

It was none other than the Great Toad Sage, Gamamaru.

On either side stood two smaller Toad.

Fukasaku and Shima, two Toad.

These are two Toad that Jiraiya enters Sage Mode, and they can be used in conjunction with Jiraiya's Senjutsu.

"You've come."

Sitting in the very center, Gamamaru slightly opened his mouth, letting out a hoarse voice.

Kanami nodded slightly. "You knew I was coming?"

"I knew someone was coming, but I never knew who it was. Now that I see you, I know it's you."

"..."

Kanami was speechless.

Gamamaru speaks in a way that's like a riddle teller, going around in circles.

However, in reality, it's all nonsense; they all mean the same thing.

"My name is Kanami, and I hope you Great Toad Sage, can do me a favor."

Kanami looked at Gamamaru and said seriously.

The Gamariki beside it had its mouth slightly open.

He hadn't expected the Redhead in front of him to be so brave, not even bothering with greetings or beating around the bush, but going straight to the Gate of Opening with his question.

This is their ancestor!

However, the scene he expected Gamamaru to be angry did not occur.

Gamamaru nodded gently instead. "Kanami... tell me, what do you need me to help you with?"

"I hope you can help me calculate the location of the passage to the moon within the Shinobi World."

Kanami answered with utmost respect.

A passage to the moon...

The Great Toad Sage's aged body twitched slightly, and then he sat up.

"Moon Tunnel? Never heard of it, but I can calculate it for you, it won't hurt."

"Thank you Great Toad Sage."

Kanami cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Upon seeing this, the Great Toad Sage narrowed his eyes slightly.

The way the other party expressed their gratitude didn't quite align with his understanding of Ninja in the Shinobi World.

He learned that these Shinobi World in the Shinobi World would bow ninety degrees when apologizing or expressing gratitude, and some even practically kowtowed to the ground.

Could it be that this Kanami...?

Gamamaru shook his head slightly. "Alright, I'm going to do your calculations."

Soon, he closed his eyes and began to perform divination using his unique method.

A moment of silence fell over the surroundings.

Quietly wait for the Gamamaru divination to end.

Moon Tunnel...

Some time has passed.

Gamamaru slowly opened his eyes.

"I never imagined that something like Moon Tunnel actually existed..."

"You predicted this?"

Kanami looked at Gamamaru.

Gamamaru nodded. "I figured that out... but how did you know about the existence of the Moon Tunnel?"

"This is something even Sage like me, who has lived for thousands of years, is unaware of."

If he hadn't done the calculations, he himself wouldn't have known that there was a passage leading to the moon.

Judging from his appearance, Kanami is no more than twenty years old. At such an age, he hasn't even lived through the time when ninja villages first appeared. How could he possibly know about the Moon Tunnel established by the descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura hundreds of years ago on the moon?

This was something he found utterly baffling.

"... That's what Otsutsuki Toneri told me on the moon."

Kanami directly shifted the blame to Otsutsuki Toneri, Otsutsuki Toneri, having lived on the moon for so many years, must know the truth.

Even if he didn't know, the Great Toad Sage had no way of confronting Otsutsuki Toneri.

"Otsutsuki Toneri... a descendant of Hamura..."

Gamamaru nodded slightly, seemingly believing Kanami's words.

But soon, his eyes narrowed slightly.

How did Hamura's descendants come to find him?

No, I need to have my fortune told.

Ever since the Great Toad Sage guided the Sage of Sage of Six Paths and his brother to seal Kaguya a thousand years ago, he has become increasingly obsessed with the feeling of having control over everything.

Therefore, he always liked to consult the oracle, especially after discovering the Child of Prophecy, he told Jiraiya that he wanted to lead everything.

He was even more curious about Kanami, a man shrouded in mystery.

However, he began to perform divination on Kanami.

Less than two seconds later, the Great Toad Sage coughed up a mouthful of blood!

"Puff--"

"This is...?!"
