Jiraiya smiled bitterly. "This really is terrible news. The Nine-Tails' power is already terrifying enough, and now there's a Ten-Tails above even that. The shinobi world really can't catch a break."
He looked at Sage Shima on the stone pillar and asked, "Then do you know anything about Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
After thinking for a while, Sage Shima said, "I don't know about Infinite Tsukuyomi. I only know of the dōjutsu called Tsukuyomi.
"Tsukuyomi is a terrifying genjutsu that members of the Uchiha Clan gain after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. Anyone struck by it is instantly dragged into a world of illusion, where the caster can freely control everything. So even if only an instant passes in the outside world, the victim may have already endured dozens of hours of torture."
"Maybe Infinite Tsukuyomi really does have something to do with Tsukuyomi. After all, that Masked Man calls himself Madara Uchiha. Infinite Tsukuyomi might really be connected to the Uchiha Clan," Jiraiya murmured involuntarily as he thought.
Sage Shima had heard of Madara Uchiha as well. She knew he was a man who had reached the pinnacle of the Sharingan, with strength far beyond that of sages like them who had lived for hundreds of years.
"Little Jiraiya, let's go ask the Great Toad Sage. He's bound to know something," Sage Shima said, hopping toward the palace among the mountains.
"Good idea." Jiraiya quickly rose and followed her.
Before long, they arrived at the palace where the Great Toad Sage lived.
The moment they entered, a rich smell of alcohol greeted them.
"That senile old fool has had too much to drink again!" Sage Shima was thoroughly displeased.
"Wake up, you senile old fool! Little Jiraiya has something to ask you."
Sage Shima showed the Great Toad Sage no courtesy whatsoever.
