"Is this Mount Myōboku?" Uchiha Takashi Ten looked around and asked the Toad, "Why does it feel like a primeval forest?"
Uchiha Takashi's words weren't entirely wrong. Finally, towering... leaves? And in the distance, two opposing angles—if you considered these tall leaves as trees, then it certainly resembled a primeval forest.
The Toad was at a loss for words. Wasn't it normal for a Toad to live in an environment like a primeval forest?
"Alright, where's that Great Toad? Bring me here. Where's its own... oh wait, where's its own Toad?"
The Toad who came from the rain-themed livestream had given up on correcting him. He sighed, pointed to a house in the distance, and said, " The Great Toad Sage is inside. He's waiting for you. You'd better hurry over."
Uchiha Takashi snorted, "So I actually have to go find it myself? After all that, I have to find it myself?"
Although he said that, Uchiha Takashi still walked up the steps and entered the house, his feet behaving themselves.
He hadn't gone far inside when he saw an old, Great Toad sitting on the platform with its eyes closed, exuding an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
Uchiha Takashi couldn't help but marvel inwardly, "Damn, such a huge Toad! I wonder if its Toad are meaty? Uh, no, this Toad looks so old, the meat must not taste good."
"Hey you old Toad, why did you call me over here? Did you call me over to watch you sleep?"
Hearing Uchiha Takashi's words, the old Toad sitting on the stage slowly opened its eyes, looked at Uchiha Takashi below the stage, and took a breath before speaking.
"You are the current head of the Uchiha Clan?"
Uchiha Takashi crossed his arms. "That's right, I am the head of the Uchiha Clan. Do you have a problem with that?"
The Great Toad opened its eyes, stared at Uchiha Takashi for a long time, and then said, "Your Sharingan... is very special."
Uchiha Takashi's pupils contracted slightly, but his face remained expressionless as he said, "Isn't it normal for Mangekyō Sharingan to possess great strength?"
The Great Toad Sage shook his head. "Your Sharingan transcends the boundaries of spirit, space, and time; no such eye has existed since the birth of the Uchiha Clan!"
Uchiha Takashi: "Old Toad, you're just scared!"
The Great Toad Sage paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said with a slight smile, "Perhaps, but your eyes appeared in my dream."
Uchiha Takashi: "..." Fine, fine, so you think you can just play around with prophecy like this? You might as well just use cheat codes, no, you didn't even turn them off!
The Great Toad Sage continued, "You probably have no idea how the Shinobi World actually works, you don't understand anything you've done."
Upon hearing the Great Toad contradict his plan, Uchiha Takashi immediately flew into a rage. "What do you know, you stinking Toad?"
"None of you have even taken my route, so how do you know I'm definitely going wrong? Come on, tell me then, am I destined to fail or what?"
The Great Toad Sage slightly opened his eyes and said earnestly, "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Uchiha Takashi stared blankly at the Great Toad Sage's expression. Seriously, I was waiting for you to explain how I failed, and you just say you don't know?
I thought you would criticize me, but you didn't. Does that mean you're criticizing me?
"You can predict the future, can't you? How could you not know?" Uchiha Takashi looked at the Great Toad Sage with suspicion. "Are you just teasing... me?"
The Great Toad Sage ignored Uchiha Takashi's strange remarks and slowly explained, "Because every time I enter a dream, when I'm halfway through making a prophecy, a pair of eyes interrupts my dream, forcing me to wake up."
And those eyes... were a pattern I'd never seen before... composed of four squares.
Upon hearing the Great Toad Sage's words, Uchiha Takashi remembered his own Mangekyō Sharingan Mangekyō Sharingan; it did indeed look like that.
"So, my Mangekyō Sharingan kicked away your prophetic abilities? Serves you right, it's good that you're banned for cheating."
Uchiha Takashi nodded in satisfaction. "As expected, the Mangekyō Sharingan is the strongest!"
The Great Toad Sage said, "No, no, no, you have no idea what this means. For countless years, I have relied on my precognitive dreams to ward off evil and bring good fortune to the Shinobi World, saving countless lives."
Now that I have lost my ability to foresee the future, the future of the Shinobi World is unpredictable, and I will no longer be able to save the lives of the Shinobi World!
"Get lost! You're talking about saving lives now? You weren't there saving lives when everyone was fighting to the death! The Shinobi World was practically tearing heads apart, and you weren't there to show up."
"Just by opening and closing your mouth, you claim to have saved countless lives? Then why the hell would I call myself the Sage of Six Paths? Where's your face?" Uchiha Takashi cursed, pointing at the Great Toad Sage.
"He has prophetic abilities, knowing full well that so many things will happen, so many people will die, yet he just watches helplessly, and then at the end says, 'Oh, I'm so kind! I saved so many lives!' I've truly never seen such a shameless Toad."
The Great Toad Sage said in a serious tone, "You don't understand what this prophetic dream means at all. I have saved the Shinobi World countless times by relying on this prophetic dream."
If it weren't for this prophetic dream, the Shinobi World would have long since become a barren planet.
Uchiha Takashi scoffed, "Indeed, I admit you did perform some actions to save the Shinobi World in ancient times, but after that period, when the Shinobi World entered a period of great turmoil, where were you? Uh, where were you, you Toad?"
So many people have died tragically in the war, so many people have sacrificed themselves because of the war. The shadow of war hangs over everyone. You clearly have the ability to quell all of this, so why don't you do it?
If you have power but do nothing, then your power is meaningless!
Seeing that Uchiha Takashi remained unchanged, the Great Toad Sage could only sigh and say, "You have no idea what I dreamed about."
You don't know what happened in the ancient Shinobi World. Do you know the relationship between the Sage of Six Paths and Otsutsuki, the progenitor of the Otsutsuki Kaguya?
Uchiha Takashi raised an eyebrow. "Ah, talking about this makes me wide awake," he said. "Oh, I know that. The Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother Hamura Otsutsuki, locked up their mother because the person they loved died."
It's just the moon in the sky, isn't that common knowledge?
The Great Toad Sage: "?" How do you know more about this than I do? Is this really common sense? Besides those who experienced it firsthand, who else knows about this? Are you possessed by the Sage of Six Paths?
Uchiha Takashi: "I know more than you do. I also know that Otsutsuki Kaguya gave birth to a black thing—I don't know what it is—to save herself. That dark thing started stirring up trouble in the Shinobi World to save Kaguya."
I also know that Otsutsuki Kaguya came from the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and the Ōtsutsuki Clan is considered a high-ranking race in the Shinobi World and even in the entire galaxy. Ha, you're still a bit green when it comes to knowledge!
The Great Toad Sage was completely taken aback by what Uchiha Takashi said; he had never dreamed of such things before, nothing like pitch black things.
Uchiha Takashi continued, "So you know less than me, you understand less than me, you just dream and don't do anything, what right do you have to stop me?"
Don't bother me! I will walk my own path, regardless of whether I succeed or fail! If you dare to stop me, don't blame me for being impolite!
As he spoke, Uchiha Takashi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, unleashing a powerful surge of Chakra from his body, his eyes fixed intently on the Great Toad Sage on the stage.
