Mount Myoboku

Biodata

Power Progression

The following results came from the toads’ first collective session with the Tidal Art; they were not separate rounds of advancement 48 49.

Location and Access

• Mount Myoboku exists in the void surrounding the ninja world and is described as an independent small world. Those without a contract cannot find it, though Jiraiya is noted as an exception 47.
• The mountain has abundant natural energy. Jiraiya found Sage Mode training faster there than in the outside world; the energy is also associated with the toads’ great size and long lives 19.
• Contract holders can summon its toads. Jiraiya had himself, Minato and later Naruto recorded on the summoning scroll; Hinata subsequently signed a contract 18 47.
• Jiraiya brought Naruto and Hinata to the mountain by reverse summoning. Naruto later placed a Flying Thunder God mark there with Fukasaku’s permission 46 48.

Sages and Training

• Gamamaru — Mount Myoboku’s master, known as the Great Toad Sage. He has lived since Kaguya’s era and receives prophecies through dreams 46 47.
• Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima — The two Great Toad Sages who oversee affairs during Gamamaru’s slumber. Fukasaku supervised Jiraiya’s Sage Mode training, intervening when natural energy began to transform him 19 46.
• Sage Mode — The mountain’s long-established practice of using natural energy. Failed attempts have left numerous stone toad statues in its training areas; before Naruto shared a safer method, only three resident toads were recognized as Sages 46.
• Frog Sniper — A martial art already possessed by Mount Myoboku that can be practiced only by those who have mastered Sage Mode 47.

Alliance with Naruto

Naruto visited with Jiraiya and Hinata to seek Mount Myoboku’s entire clan as allies in a possible war against Takamagahara. In exchange, he offered a cultivation method that would let its inhabitants use spiritual energy without the petrification risk of their existing practice. After hearing Naruto’s request, Gamamaru recalled prophecies involving Jiraiya’s disciples and agreed to commit the clan’s strength 46 47.

• Naruto transmitted the Tidal Art, a water-attribute cultivation technique, to Fukasaku for the whole community to learn 47.
• Fukasaku judged that the method could be practiced by every inhabitant and said that those who mastered it would no longer face time limits when summoned by Naruto 47.
• Fukasaku taught the method to the grown toads. Gamamaru joined their first collective session, during which shared cultivation accelerated their progress 48 49.
• The first session produced unusually strong results, but Gamamaru warned that later sessions would not have the same effect. Naruto then taught Gamamaru, Fukasaku and Shima the Myriad Spirit Longevity Art to replenish vitality 49.

Notable Inhabitants

• Gamahiro — One of Mount Myoboku’s three great toads and the first toad Naruto summoned after signing the contract 18.
• Gamabunta — Jiraiya’s first friend at the mountain; among the toads who reached the Tidal Art’s third level 48 49.
• Gerotora — A scroll-like toad entrusted with the key to Kurama’s seal 18.
• Rock-Dwelling Toad — The mountain’s largest resident. Its exceptional size left it isolated from other toads as it grew; Naruto later visited its lake dwelling with Hinata 48 50.
• Chiqi — A former companion of Fukasaku and Shima. After experiments enabled him to absorb natural energy but left him unstable, Gamamaru confined him in a barrier-protected underground dungeon. His existence was subsequently erased from the mountain’s records 49.
