The miko of the Land of Demons had made a prophecy.
The news reached the Konoha High Command through a Konoha squad.
For a time, the Konoha High Command convened a meeting.
"According to the miko of the Land of Demons, a Fifth World War will break out in the future. It will even involve Mōryō of the Land of Demons and many other dangerous creatures from around the world, all standing against us."
Naruto told all the Jōnin present about the intelligence he had obtained from the Land of Demons.
Hearing the miko's prophecy, Shikamaru said, "Although I believe in the ability to foresee the future, can these words really be trusted?"
Anyone with even a little knowledge knew that the ability to foresee the future existed in this world.
It was just that the accuracy of such an ability depended on the person using it.
Not every prophecy could accurately predict everything that would happen in the future.
As the Hokage's Secret Technique's most important assistant, he had to take all these factors into consideration.
Naruto nodded. "Yes. The miko of the Land of Demons has never been wrong in her prophecies. But that doesn't mean they're one hundred percent accurate. The future can be changed."
Only after becoming Hokage did Naruto understand how difficult it was.
"Regardless, since the miko has made such a prophecy, we can't afford not to prepare," Shikamaru said.
If they did nothing to change the future, it would unfold exactly as the miko had said. That was something they could not accept.
With the undead rising everywhere, even the Ninja Alliance would have trouble dealing with it.
Moreover, according to history, the Land of Demons had suffered heavy casualties every time it fought Mōryō.
It had even needed support from other countries.
