Getting here was fine, but now he couldn't get back
The Great Toad Sage spat out a mouthful of blood, startling the surrounding Toad.
"Patriarch, what's wrong?"
Fukasaku was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and asked in a panic.
On the other side, Shima quickly grabbed Fukasaku's shoulder. "Honey, what's wrong with the Patriarch?"
"Cough--cough."
"It's nothing... it's nothing."
The Great Toad Sage coughed twice, clearing away the blood that he hadn't yet expelled, and then waved his hand slightly.
The Gamariki in the distance trembled with fear.
Could it be that he suffered a backlash because he calculated the location of the Moon Tunnel for Kanami?
If something were to happen to the Patriarch because of this, I... I'm afraid my dad would beat me to death.
"Great Toad Sage, what happened?"
Kanami asked in surprise.
The Great Toad Sage in front of me was perfectly fine just a moment ago, so why did he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood?
Although he knew that divination was against the natural order, and that using it in particularly serious or extreme situations could easily backfire.
But the other party had already calculated everything, even revealing the matter of the Moon Tunnel, and did not suffer any backlash.
Is there a delay?
Kanami couldn't understand it.
Just then, the Great Toad Sage, who was sitting in the middle, straightened his expression and adjusted the black doctoral cap he was wearing.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine now..."
"Patriarch, what exactly happened?"
He pressed on with Fukasaku questions.
"Sigh..." The Great Toad Sage sighed softly, "I was merely trying to calculate your fate, young friend, when I unexpectedly suffered a backlash..."
"What?! You mean because of him?"
Fukasaku immediately turned to look at Kanami, while Shima also stared at Kanami and scrutinized him.
The two Toad ' gazes held a hint of hostility.
Kanami could naturally see it, but until the other party fully revealed their hostility, he was too lazy to pay attention and simply pretended not to notice.
After all, he still needs the help of the Great Toad Sage.
"Fukasaku, Shima, you two shouldn't have any negative feelings towards my friend. It's all because I wanted to investigate on my own."
The Great Toad Sage spoke up to stop the two from Fukasaku.
Unable to see through the mysteries surrounding Kanami and unable to glimpse his destiny, he realized that Feng An's future achievements were likely to surpass his own.
Above him!
He will only be unable to detect the trajectory of the destiny of those who will achieve greater things than him in the future.
However, if he were a hundred years younger, he might be able to forcibly glimpse Kanami's destiny, but the price would be that he would live a miserable life for the rest of his days, becoming an ordinary Toad.
As for now... if he were to forcefully try to spy, he would likely perish on the spot.
"I apologize, young friend. I shouldn't have presumptuously tried to probe your fate. The Moon Tunnel is located somewhere in the coldest part of the Shinobi World."
The Great Toad Sage sincerely apologized.
The Elder standing nearby, Fukasaku and Shima, were immediately startled.
The two Toad looked at each other in bewilderment.
When have they ever seen their Patriarch bow his head to anyone?
Even the Sage of Six Paths, whom the other party frequently mentioned, had never commanded such respect from him, yet this seemingly young boy had made their Patriarch bow his head?
The Gamariki's mouth was wide open, looking completely bewildered.
If you had said you were this awesome earlier, even the Patriarch would have apologized to you. I wouldn't have shown that kind of attitude at the beginning, comparing you to that blond Naruto outside!
The Great Toad Sage's attitude towards Kanami made him very nervous.
For a moment, I completely forgot that I'm usually a slow-witted and dull Toad.
Kanami was also taken aback.
He never expected that the Great Toad Sage would apologize to him.
Could it be that it has discovered I don't actually belong to this world?
Possibly.
Kanami's internal self-analysis.
However, he soon stopped dwelling on the issue.
"Thank you for letting me know, Great Toad Sage. Next time I come, I'll definitely bring you all some delicious food; I'll never come empty-handed."
After finishing speaking, Kanami prepared to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.
After a few seconds, Kanami slowly opened his eyes.
He forgot that the distance between Mount Myōboku and Konoha Village in the Original Plot was at least a month's journey.
If he could still sense the Flying Thunder God Mark at that distance and then successfully teleport away, that would be truly outrageous.
If we could do that, we wouldn't need to find Moon Tunnel; Flying Thunder God Kunai to teleport up there.
The Toad present were even more puzzled.
They didn't understand what Kanami meant by suddenly closing his eyes for a few seconds and then opening them again with an embarrassed expression.
"I need to ask you for a favor."
Kanami said, somewhat embarrassed.
"What can I do for you, young friend?"
"Please use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon me back to the Shinobi World."
"Oh, that's simple. Just have little Jiraiya summon me there."
Fukasaku said casually.
"You mean Jiraiya?" Kanami was stunned. "Jiraiya lost his left hand, so he can't use Summoning Jutsu."
"(⊙o⊙) Huh?"
Fukasaku was momentarily stunned.
"Unable to use Summoning Jutsu, no wonder he hasn't been coming to see us lately..."
"Is there any other way?"
"Yes, we can just have little Naruto summon us."
"..."
Gamariki stammered, "Naruto seems to be training at Mount Myōboku too..."
"..."
A moment of silence fell over the surroundings.
Kanami awkwardly asked, "Do I still have a chance?"
"It seems... there aren't any left."
Fukasaku also looked grim.
"Why don't you choose to walk back?"
Shima spoke up.
"Walk back? Are you sure? It's almost a month's journey from here to Konoha!"
Kanami's eyes widened as he stared at Shima in disbelief.
"So... so you knew." Shima scratched her head sheepishly.
Kanami:??
"Don't give me any bad advice. I really have urgent business to attend to back home. Otherwise, it's only a journey of nearly a month. If I'm not in a hurry, I wouldn't mind."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Shima quickly apologized.
"Why don't you learn some Senjutsu here first? I'll do a divination for you later?"
The Great Toad Sage spoke slowly.
He couldn't think of a better solution either.
"I've already learned the Slug Forest Senjutsu, how can I learn the Mount Myōboku Senjutsu?"
Kanami was taken aback.
"It's not that you can't, but generally, once you've mastered one of the Three Great Sage Lands ' Senjutsu, the other two holy lands won't allow you to learn any Senjutsu. After all, the Three Great Sage Lands still subtly compete with each other."
The Great Toad Sage responded.
"I see."
"Naruto happens to be here too, you and him..." At this point, the Great Toad Sage shook his head, "No, since you've already mastered the Slug Forest Senjutsu and are proficient in controlling Natural Energy, you only need to learn some Mount Myōboku Sage Art."
"Fukasaku, Shima, why don't you two teach Kanami?"
"As for how to leave Mount Myōboku, I'll think of something for you."
"Alright, thank you, Great Toad Sage."
Since the Great Toad Sage had already said so much, Kanami no longer hesitated. Learning more Sage Art wouldn't be a bad thing.
