The Three Great Sage Regions Are Up to Something?

At this moment, in Mount Myōboku, Gamamaru, who had become the Great Toad Sage, slowly awoke from his slumber.

"Is that so, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki?"

Its voice echoed across the vast expanse of Mount Myōboku, carrying an indescribable depth.

Just now, in its dream, it had a long-awaited reunion with Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

From Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's words, it learned that another Otsutsuki had been born in the Shinobi World, whose strength was almost equal to that of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki before he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Uchiha Makoto, a descendant of Indra?"

The Great Toad Sage murmured, and Fukasaku and Shima, who had been guarding it, quickly returned to its side.

"Immortal, have you woken up?"

"Did it wake you from a deep sleep, or did you have a precognitive dream?"

He asked with Fukasaku respect.

The Great Toad Sage nodded and said, "The future of the Shinobi World is about to change, and a new crisis is on the horizon!"

Shima visibly froze for a moment.

I just asked casually, and it really turned out to be like that?

Then it looked at the Great Toad Sage with concern. "What should we do?"

The Great Toad Sage paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Summon Jiraiya!"

"The Shinobi World no longer needs a chosen one!"

After saying that, the Great Toad Sage fell silent for a moment.

A Ōtsutsuki about to return to his peak form—even the chosen one of destiny might not be his match, right?

"This!"

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance, both seeing worry in each other's eyes.

Shima stepped forward and asked, "Sage, with Jiraiya's strength, is he really capable of shouldering this heavy responsibility?"

The Great Toad Sage shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Jiraiya's strength is not yet sufficient to face the dangers that the Shinobi World is about to encounter."

"We've summoned him back now simply so he can act as a guide and bring someone back."

As he spoke, the Great Toad Sage seemed a little tired, and after resting for a moment, he continued, "You should also get ready!"

"The two immortals from Ryūchi Ryūchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest will also be coming tomorrow!"

Are those two immortals from Ryūchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest also coming?

Fukasaku and Shima exchanged a glance, both reading deep shock in each other's eyes.

They knew very well that the immortals from these two great immortal lands rarely appeared, and now that they were gathering at Mount Myōboku, it was clear that the situation had become extremely serious.

Fukasaku couldn't help but ask, "Immortal, what kind of crisis requires the immortals of the three great immortal lands to deal with it together?"

The Great Toad Sage slowly closed his eyes and said heavily, "Go Jiraiya bring that powerful man named Uchiha Makoto. Our Three Great Sage Regions will give him something that doesn't belong to this era!"

After saying this, the Great Toad Sage closed his eyes and fell asleep once again.

Uchiha Makoto

Are they powerful members of the Uchiha clan in Konoha?

Jiraiya a Konoha ninja, so he should be easy to find, right?

After nodding to each other, Fukasaku and Fukasaku wife bowed to the Great Toad Sage and then withdrew.

After a long while, when all was quiet around him, the Great Toad Sage slowly opened his eyes again.

"The Ōtsutsuki who planted the God Tree?"

"That figure who only exists in ancient legends."

Hearing the words of the Great Toad Sage, the little Toad around him curiously gathered around, but dared not make a sound to disturb him.

Gamamaru's dull, lifeless eyes gazed into the distance, seemingly piercing through time and space to see some unknown sights.

It swayed slightly, continuing to mutter to itself, "When you see something you destroyed reappear in the world, would you, a god of destruction, be shocked?"

"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki"

The little Toad looked at each other, puzzled by the meaning of the Great Toad Sage's words.

Silence fell once again.

Outside the Uchiha Clan Compound, Jiraiya was squatting there with a worried expression.

"What do I do?"

"Should we talk to Uchiha Makoto directly?"

Jiraiya muttered to himself, his mind filled with the Great Toad Sage's mission from the previous night, his face utterly dejected.

Should we send Uchiha Makoto to Mount Myōboku to see the Great Toad Sage?

What should he say?

He still vividly remembers how badly Uchiha Makoto treated Mount Myōboku and the Great Toad Sage!

If I were to tell him directly, I'd probably get cleaved in two by Uchiha Makoto's Susanoo n't I?

"But this concerns the future of the Shinobi World..."

A conflicted look flashed in Jiraiya's eyes. After an unknown amount of time, he stood up, dusted himself off, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind before walking towards the Uchiha Makoto residence.

Throughout the journey, Jiraiya's heart was in his throat, constantly rehearsing the scene after meeting Uchiha Makoto in his mind.

Especially under Nonō's strange gaze, on the way to see Uchiha Makoto, his steps were heavy, each step seemingly carrying immense pressure.

"You've arrived, Jiraiya."

Upon meeting, Uchiha Makoto spoke, leaving Jiraiya momentarily bewildered.

Uchiha Makoto seemed to understand his doubts, and casually pointed to a corner of the room where two figures were still standing— Orochimaru and Tsunade.

"Ah?"

Jiraiya in astonishment, his mouth agape. What were these two doing here?

Tsunade crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "We are also from the Three Great Sage Regions."

Orochimaru, on the other hand, stood quietly to the side with a cold expression, not saying a word.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat awkward. Jiraiya scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile.

Knock knock knock!

Uchiha Makoto tapped his finger on the table, drawing their attention. His gaze was calm as he slowly said, "Since you're all here, let's get started."

"Why are you so-called Three Great Sage Regions all suddenly coming to me at once?"

Tsunade frowned, but still answered honestly, "It was the Katsuyu Sage's doing. She sent me to assist the successor of Mount Myōboku in inviting you."

Uchiha Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to look at Jiraiya.

"How so?"

Facing Uchiha Makoto's gaze, Jiraiya, who had already suffered several defeats at his hands, quickly said, "The Great Toad Sage sent me to find you, saying he wants to give you something that doesn't belong to this era, to help you defend against the impending crisis!"

Silence fell over the room once more, everyone lost in their own thoughts.

Uchiha Makoto is thinking of the ancient Mount Myōboku where the Six Paths Brothers raised the banner of rebellion against Otsutsuki Kaguya; who knows what kind of trouble they're up to now.

However, considering the impact on Uchiha Mikoto's eye power yesterday, Uchiha Makoto was still somewhat unsure.

Who knows if all of this was caused by those Six Paths Brothers?

After a long silence, Uchiha Makoto broke it. "Let's go!"

"Let me see for myself what kind of beings these so-called immortals of the Three Great Sage Regions really are!"
