Konoha.
The Hokage Office.
"Teacher, are you really leaving?" Minato Namikaze asked Jiraiya.
Jiraiya said, "Konoha doesn't need me right now. We still need to find the chosen one and bring true peace to the Shinobi World. This is my destiny!"
Fortunately, Konoha now has many talented people.
Although many losses were incurred during the war.
However, it also produced many brilliant geniuses.
He believed that the geniuses like Minato Namikaze, Shinnosuke Sarutobi Uchiha Twin Stars, and Kakashi were still alive, which was enough for Konoha to slowly recover.
What he values more is finding the Chosen One, someone who can lead the Shinobi World into peace. That's what he wants; otherwise, the war will never end and will only make the world more devastated.
Minato Namikaze sighed, "Sensei... I hope you can find the chosen one, although I feel like I'm relying on fate!"
He also knew that this was the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, and it was probably true, indicating that the Shinobi World might indeed enter a period of peace in the future.
Minato knew his own limitations; he knew he couldn't bring peace to the Shinobi World, he could only protect Konoha's small territory.
He didn't want to expand his territory anymore, nor did he want the Shinobi World to continue its war.
Quack quack~
Just as Jiraiya was about to leave with a smile, a contact frog appeared.
"Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage wants you to go to Mount Myoboku; a new prophecy has been made."
One sentence made Jiraiya stop in his tracks, his face full of confusion.
There was also a sense of solemnity.
The Great Toad Sage once said that he doesn't usually dream, but when he does, his dreams are usually very accurate. Now that he's dreaming again, it seems something has happened that has affected the entire Shinobi World's direction.
Just like the previous prophecy.
Minato Namikaze heard it too. "Jiraiya- sensei, can I come along?"
"Let's go together," the liaison frog said.
Clearly, they had been preparing for this for some time.
Minato Namikaze assigned the tasks, and then, with a 'bang,' the two of them disappeared into Konoha using Reverse Summoning.
When it reappeared, it was already beneath the tall leaves.
A huge drop of water was dripping from a leaf, about to hit them on the head.
Whoosh~
A long tongue caught a raindrop and sucked it into its mouth.
"Oh, it's Jiraiya and Minato. What brings you to Mount Myoboku?" An Iron Wall Toad appeared, surprised to see them.
It's normal for them to go to the Shinobi World.
These two don't come to Mount Myoboku very often.
Especially Minato Namikaze.
This isn't a regular customer.
Because Minato Namikaze's fighting style wasn't a good match for the Summoning Technique of Mount Myoboku, he hadn't fought alongside the Toad of Mount Myoboku for a long time. Instead, he used some functional Toad, such as the Scroll Toad, to develop his Ninjutsu.
Minato laughed, "Iron Wall, long time no see! You seem to have gained weight recently!"
"Oh, really? I think so too, so I'm going to train. I'm going to get stronger. Goodbye." Iron Wall Toad showed off the muscles on his shoulders and the iron walls on his arms.
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze walked towards the Toad Hall.
Before long, a huge hall appeared before them. The massive gate made the two of them appear as small as ants. As soon as they stepped through the gate, three figures were already waiting for them.
"Great Toad Sage, Sage Shima, Sage Fukasaku, it's been a long time!" Jiraiya and the other greeted each other.
The giant Great Toad Sage wore a smile on his honest face, as did the two immortals on either side of him.
"Jiraiya, the reason I summoned you here is because the Great Toad Sage has a new prophecy, so you must come." Fukasaku glanced at Minato Namikaze. He already knew about Minato's succession as the Fourth Hokage; it was something he had expected.
This time, however, it's a bit strange—the language of the Great Toad Sage.
It's been a long time since we've seen two instances of language appear in such a short period of time.
It's only been a few decades since Jiraiya's prophecy of being the chosen one; it's been a long time since I've had two dreams in such a short period.
"Hmm, it seems to be quite a big deal." Jiraiya sensed the atmosphere and spoke slowly, his smile turning serious.
The same goes for Minato Namikaze.
Mount Myoboku, as one of the Three Great Sage Lands, wouldn't be so solemn unless something extraordinary happened.
Hopefully, this won't involve the Shinobi World and plunge it into war again.
Sage Shima said to the Great Toad Sage, "Grandmaster, Jiraiya arrived. You may speak now."
"What did you say?" Great Toad Sage.
Sage Shima shouted again, startling Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze, before the Great Toad Sage could hear him.
Great Toad Sage: "It's like this. Just yesterday, I had another dream. As you know, the Toad of our Toad Country rarely dream. When they do, their dreams usually have a verbal effect. Just yesterday, a great fire appeared in my dream, and a black figure emerged from the fire, reshaping the order of the Shinobi World."
Every word puzzled Jiraiya and his companion.
A huge fire...
"Appeared in my dream..."
"A human figure..."
"Rebuilding the order of the Shinobi World..."
The two spoke in unison, their voices filled with confusion.
What does this mean? Has someone unified the Shinobi World and ushered in an era of peace?
"Yes, you're right. One day in the future, a black figure will arrive amidst great fire, reshaping the order of the Shinobi World and ushering in true peace."
The Great Toad Sage continued speaking.
Jiraiya then wondered, "Then... could this be the chosen one mentioned in the last prophecy?"
The fire rebuilt order, and a lone figure stood out—he couldn't possibly imagine, or rather, had any contact with him.
Because fire is a very widespread phenomenon.
There are too many things that can be represented. For example, the Uchiha Clan in Konoha represents fire. It's impossible that the Uchiha rebuilt the order, that's too far-fetched.
If the Uchiha had this ability, they would have brought peace to the Shinobi World long ago.
"I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it must be related to fire," the Great Toad Sage said slowly.
They didn't explain it clearly either.
This dream was too short.
Jiraiya and the other two were speechless, but it was indeed important information.
In other words, the Shinobi World will enter a period of peace in the future.
"This prophecy is truly vague!" The two immortals, Fukasaku and Fukasaku, were speechless. This was even more vague than the previous Child of Destiny.
Even the language used to describe the Sage of Six Paths more than a thousand years ago wasn't this outrageous.
Jiraiya and his companion thanked the Great Toad Sage and, without lingering, returned to Konoha after obtaining the information.
The two men stood facing each other in the office.
"Teacher, this is a good thing, why do you look so worried?" Minato Namikaze asked with a smile, seeing Jiraiya's troubled expression.
Jiraiya: "I don't know if it's good or bad!"
This prophecy is so strange; it's completely different from previous prophecies.
This means the accuracy of the Great Toad Sage's predictions has decreased!
[I admit, I was a bit too boastful yesterday. Today I saw a girl on my Douyin account, the one who blocked me (the one who used to block my "WeChat" account and my second Douyin account). She commented on my main Douyin account today. She was in my live stream before, and I said I needed to quickly earn 660,000 yuan for a dowry to marry her. When she appeared, I felt a shock. I guess I'm still that simp!!! (Can everyone give me one like to contribute to my 660,000 yuan dowry?)]
