Prophecy

The Great Toad Sage asked Shao Nan, "What is your name?!"

"My name is Shao Nan Senju!"

The Great Toad Sage shook his head. "You should also be called Shao Nan Uchiha and Shao Nan Uzumaki, shouldn't you?!"

"You carry all three bloodlines! Perhaps it is fate, or perhaps it is providence!"

Could this Great Toad Sage have seen that I had a system with me too?

"System, has this old toad discovered you?"

[Host, do not worry. I am a product that transcends the Ninja World. No one in the Ninja World can detect my existence. Even the Otsutsuki far out in space cannot peer into me.]

"With what you said, System, I'm relieved."

Shao Nan asked the Great Toad Sage, "Do you know about my origins? I'm curious about them too!"

The Great Toad Sage continued shaking his head. "I do not know your origins, but I know your future!"

"In the future, you will launch a revolution, one that will unite the entire Ninja World!"

"You will bring an unprecedented era of peace and prosperity to the Ninja World!"

Shao Nan was stunned. Was this guy just making things up?

All I wanted was to find beautiful women in the Ninja World and talk about life and dreams with them!

If this body hadn't cursed me, I never would have done something like restoring the Senju clan!

"Jiraiya! Because of him—because Shao Nan appeared out of nowhere—the prophecy I gave you before has been completely overturned! He will lead the Ninja World into an age of peace and prosperity!"

The Great Toad Sage had once given Jiraiya a prophecy.

The prophecy stated that Jiraiya would become an outstanding ninja and publish books.

He would also take in an exceptional disciple, one who would become the Child of Prophecy, the savior of the Ninja World, and bring peace to it!

Jiraiya had once encountered Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan. He believed Nagato was the Child of Prophecy and took him as his disciple, but later received news that Nagato had died.

Later, Jiraiya took the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, as his disciple and once believed that he was the savior, but Minato died during the Nine-Tails' attack!

Since then, Jiraiya had never taken another disciple.

He had spent his time traveling, gathering intelligence, and writing the bestselling Make-Out Paradise series that everyone wanted to read.

When he heard the Great Toad Sage say that the prophecy given to him had been overturned, Jiraiya seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed the pressure had been passed to Shao Nan!

"Shao Nan, the Great Toad Sage's prophecies are extremely accurate! The burden of peace in the Ninja World rests on your shoulders now!"

Shao Nan was dumbfounded. Though he knew from the original story that Gamamaru's prophetic abilities were incredibly accurate—

It was a completely different matter now that the prophecy concerned him!

Could I really become the new savior who united the Ninja World and brought it an age of peace and prosperity?

Shao Nan shook his head hard. My goal is the beautiful women of the Ninja World.

"Great Toad Sage, is your prophecy really reliable? Why do I feel like you're just fooling me? The prophecy you gave Jiraiya vanished just like that! It's hard to believe you!"

At that moment, Gamamaru burst into laughter, then ordered Jiraiya and the others to leave!

Even the sleeping Naruto was carried outside!

"Shao Nan, I saw every woman around you die in a war!"

"Old toad, what kind of joke is that? Even Kaguya Otsutsuki poses no threat to me! How could my women possibly die?!"

Now it was Gamamaru's turn to be shocked!

"You actually know of her existence? Then do you know where she came from?"

"Old toad, just tell me what you saw in your dream!"

"I saw myself giving you a prophecy. As for what came next, see for yourself!"

After saying that, Gamamaru shifted his enormous body, revealing a large crystal ball behind him.

Images began to appear within the crystal ball, but there was no sound.

Shao Nan stepped forward and moved closer to watch!

The location shown in the image was the Senju Compound.

It was a quiet night. Shizune was playing with Chino.

Tsunade, Ayame, Hinata, and Hanabi were playing mahjong together.

Then, a red-haired woman suddenly appeared. She held some snacks in her hands and handed them out to the four women playing mahjong.

"How is it her? Isn't she already dead?"

Shao Nan was astonished. That red-haired woman was Naruto's biological mother, Kushina Uzumaki!

How was she alive?

And why had she appeared in his home?

Was this really an image from the prophecy?

All of a sudden, the moonlight shining over the Senju Compound gradually dimmed.

A white figure, moving at a speed close to the Flying Thunder God, kidnapped Hinata and Hanabi.

The incident happened too suddenly. Tsunade threw Ayame into the house.

Then she and Kushina swiftly sprang into action and fought the figure.

The battle itself was not shown in the image.

In the end, there was only one scene: aside from Hinata and Hanabi in the white figure's hands—

Everyone else lay in pools of blood, barely clinging to life.

Each woman bore horrifying wounds, their flesh mangled and bloody.

Even Chino, that little girl, had not escaped disaster!

"Tsunade, Chino, Ayame!" Shao Nan shouted.

At that moment, Shao Nan's face was twisted in fury. In Sage Mode, he looked utterly terrifying.

The monstrous strength within him surged out on its own, making the entire temple tremble.

Shao Nan could not accept the scene in the crystal ball.

"Impossible, that's fake!"

"Shao Nan, that is only one image from my dream. There are other images afterward. Do you want to keep watching?"

Hearing Gamamaru's words, Shao Nan slowly came back to his senses.

"It's only a prophecy. It hasn't happened yet! I can stop it!"

Shao Nan had already recognized the white figure that appeared in the image.

Otsutsuki Toneri, on the moon!

The Otsutsuki really were a scourge!

I only wanted to live a simple life with the beautiful women of the Ninja World!

Why won't you Otsutsuki give me that chance?!

If that's the case, then I can only wipe out the Otsutsuki!

"I'm not watching anymore. What I'm curious about is what happened with Kushina!?"

"Then I don't know. I'm tired! I need to rest. Leave!"

Damn! Was this old toad really going to be this excessive, showing me such a terrible scene—

And now he was just going to ignore me?

Just as Shao Nan was about to lose his temper, Gamamaru's voice came again.

In his hands were two human-shaped fruits. Human-sized ginseng fruits!

"Here, Shao Nan, these two are for you! These are the Spirit Remains passed down through generations in the Toad Kingdom. There are only two of them."

"For me?" Shao Nan pointed at himself, unable to understand.

"In the prophecy, I saw myself giving these two things to you! So I might as well give them to you now!"

"What are these things for? What do they do?"

Gamamaru thought for a moment, then slowly explained.

"These Spirit Remains are containers capable of carrying souls. They are divine artifacts that can revive people.

Simply put, a remnant soul can be placed inside them. When the fruit ripens, it will transform into a human form.

Whatever the soul looked like in life, the fruit will transform into a body matching that appearance!
