"I understand, Big Sis Shima."
Jiraiya first answered Shima, then turned to Youhu and the others. "The Great Sage needs to see me. Rest nearby for now. I'll be right back."
Jiraiya then used the Reverse Summoning Technique and arrived at Mount Myōboku.
Unlike sunny Konoha, Mount Myōboku was now shrouded in drizzle, as if reflecting its master's terrible mood.
Jiraiya had never seen Mount Myōboku like this before.
He had thought it was always sunny there. He'd never imagined it could rain. Thinking of the Great Toad Sage's terrifying Natural Energy, Jiraiya privately concluded that Youhu had truly angered the Great Sage this time.
He wondered whether Youhu and Kakashi still had any chance of learning Senjutsu.
With an uneasy feeling, Jiraiya entered the Toad Shrine. He saw Gamamaru, wearing a scholar's cap on the seat of honor, and respectfully bowed.
"Great Sage, you wanted to see me?"
Compared to a few minutes earlier, Gamamaru looked much better. He gave a slight nod and spoke slowly. "Little Jiraiya, tell me about those three people outside. I want to know about their pasts."
Couldn't you just use your prophecy for that...?
That was what Jiraiya thought, but he still began to explain who Naruto, Kakashi, and Youhu were.
"Great Sage, they're Naruto, Kakashi, and Youhu. Naruto is Minato's son, and he's currently the village's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Kakashi is Minato's student and a Jonin in the village."
"Youhu is a shinobi of the Uchiha Clan. He was the one who summoned you here."
"Youhu?" Gamamaru repeated the name several times, as if trying to find some trace of him in the vast sea of its memories.
Having lived through a thousand years and possessing the ability to "glimpse the future" in its dreams, Gamamaru knew the shinobi Mount Myōboku would encounter
