Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

"Sorry, little Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage is currently receiving guests, so I'm afraid I don't have time to see you for the time being."

Looking at Jiraiya who looked anxious in front of him, Fukasaku stood in front of him and reminded him. After all, this was a meeting between two great immortals. Naturally, Jiraiya could not be allowed to barge in so recklessly.

Jiraiya was a man of action, and since he felt that he should seek answers from Mt. Myoboku, he didn't waste any time. Instead, he immediately said goodbye to the three of them and then came to Mt. Myoboku through the art of counter-spirituality.

But things didn't seem that easy. Just when Jiraiya was about to seek answers from the Great Toad Sage, Lord Fukasaku actually stopped him.

"Accepting guests?"

And Jiraiya was also extremely puzzled by this reason. Human beings who could come to Myoboku Mountain basically signed a psychic contract with Myoboku Mountain, and he knew all the existing contract signers, including him and Ming Ming.

Man. In this case, who is the guest of the Great Toad Immortal?

"Does it mean that the so-called guest is not a human being?"

A flash of light flashed through Jiraiya's mind. Jiraiya didn't know exactly how long the Great Toad Sage had lived, but the person who could be personally received by the Great Toad Sage as a guest must have been a creature of the same era as the Great Toad Sage.

Could it be the immortals from Shigu Forest and Longdi Cave?

"It's the Immortal Fengxun from the Thorny Forest Sea"

As if he had guessed what Jiraiya was thinking, and there was nothing worth hiding about it, Fukasaku directly told Jiraiya the answer.

"Sea of ​​Thorns?"

"Immortal Feng Yu?"

After getting the answer, Jiraiya nodded doubtfully. It seemed that the person who came this time was indeed an old antique from the same era as the Great Toad Immortal. However, he had never heard of the Thorny Linhai and Feng Ni Immortal.

"It's the panda clan that signed a contract with Xiao Liuyu. The Caoqian clan has a long history with the panda clan in the Thorny Forest Sea."

Seeing the confusion on Jiraiya's face, Fukasaku explained again. However, the information he had was also quite limited. After all, the Sea of ​​Thorns and the three holy lands rarely had contact with the outside world.

However, the three major holy places basically have their own spokespersons traveling in the ninja world, and they have also admitted many people to practice senjutsu. In addition, the three shinobi's brilliant achievements have made the three holy places more popular among outsiders.

You know. It was only after Ji Linhai signed a psychic contract with Kusanagi Ryūha in these years that he began to show his traces in the ninja world. Before that, not many people knew about it.

"Is it Xiao Liuyu?"

Jiraiya nodded in understanding, there was indeed news that a giant panda psychic beast participated in the war between Yueyakure Village and Kusakure Village.

Jiraiya had been in contact with Ryū Yu for a period of time when he was traveling abroad, and he also entrusted Naruto to Ryū Yu for training for a period of time.

He knew that Ryuyu's defection was just a conspiracy for a power struggle, and it was completely different from Orochimaru's defection. Therefore, he always felt a sense of guilt when facing Ryuyu. After all, Ryuyu was the one entrusted by Kushina and his wife before they died.

That's why he originally chose to hand over Naruto to Ryūyu's guidance. In addition to Ryūyu being the most suitable instructor at that time, Jiraiya also hoped to use this to alleviate his own guilt.

But why did the panda clan who signed a psychic contract with Ryūyu come to Miaomu Mountain at this time? And what role did Ryūyu play in this great change? Why did Ryūyu and Orochimaru team up to attack Amegakure Village? Is it true?

Is it related to the Akatsuki organization and Nagato?

At this moment, Shima Sennin came out, looked at Jiraiya who was blocked outside the door and said, "Little Jiraiya, if you want to see the Great Toad Sennin, just go in, but don't hold out too much hope."

.........

"Crunch-------Crunch--------"

The sound of the bamboo chair shaking echoed in the yard, and Feng Yu was lying on the bamboo chair like this, as if the old god was there as if he was the master of this place.

The Great Toad Immortal opposite was also half-relying on his throne, with his eyes completely closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. He did not look like he was receiving guests at all. However, the wind blowing on the bamboo chair was not that good either.

, with his eyes closed, he didn’t look like he was a guest.

"that's all?"

For a long time, Feng Yu, who was lying on the bamboo chair, opened his eyes until he was half-closed, looked at the big toad immortal in front of him and asked slowly. After asking, without waiting for the big toad immortal's reply, his half-open eyelids drooped again.

, fell into sleep again.

Time passes so quietly...

"Well! That's it!"

After a long time, the Great Toad Immortal opened his eyelids and glanced at Feng Yu in front of him, and then gave such an answer, and then closed his eyes again, as if he wanted to seek the answer in a dream, and did not care about the other person.

Didn't hear my own reply.

"Um......"

After another long pause, Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and responded. In a few hours, the two exchanged only a few words.

"..."

Jiraiya, who was standing by, looked at everything in front of him with a speechless expression. It was obvious that the discussion between the two great immortals was beyond Jiraiya's expectation. At this time, he also understood why Shima told him not to have too much hope.

. But it is also possible that the communication between these two great immortals may have been completed in their sleep.

However, Jiraiya did not leave just yet. He still had too many questions that needed to be answered. If possible, he would also like to hear the answer from the panda sage Ji Linhai.

In the empty hall, only the sound of slight snoring echoed, and Jiraiya stood quietly beside him.

From time to time, two meaningless responses such as "Hmm!" and "Ah!" rang out in the hall, and then fell into silence again.

........

"It's still the same, I'm still blank about her in my dream."

I don’t know how long it took, but the Great Toad Immortal finally seemed a little more energetic, and his words were no longer so elusive.

Hearing this, Jiraiya finally became energetic. Jiraiya knew that the Great Toad Immortal had the special ability to see a glimpse of the future in his dreams. But what did the Great Toad Immortal dream about this time? And why did he dream of a slice of the future?

Blank? Is it related to the current situation in the ninja world or the prophecy child? Also, does the "her" he mentioned refer to Ryūha?

"Ah! You're here too, little Jiraiya!"

Finally, the Great Toad Sage seemed to wake up from his sleep, and finally found Jiraiya who had been standing here.

Yoyo's voice echoed in the hall, and Jiraiya was not in the mood to pay attention to it all. He walked straight forward, took two deep breaths, calmed down, and then said, "I'm here this time to seek answers about the son of the prophecy.

of."

If Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan Eye, had not died in the civil war in Amegakure Village, then his original guess was undoubtedly correct. Nagato was indeed the prophesied son who would bring changes to the ninja world.

In the original prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, "I will become an outstanding ninja. When I can stand alone, I will begin to accept apprentices. This apprentice will bring changes to the world. Not only does he know that this change will bring

World peace...or destruction."

However, it seems that Nagato is now hiding the news of his death, and is very likely to become the secret controller of the Hidden Rain Village and the Akatsuki organization. In addition, Akatsuki's goal is to collect big killers like tailed beasts...

...

Looking at it this way, Nagato will indeed bring changes to the world. However, no matter how you look at it, the changes that Nagato is about to initiate do not seem to bring stability to the ninja world.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya began to regret it. If he had stayed with them longer, things might have turned around.

But while thinking this, Jiraiya also turned his attention to Feng Yu, who was lying on his back on the bamboo chair.

At such a critical moment when the contract signer of the Jilinhai generation, Liu Yu, together with Orochimaru, attacked the Rain Hidden Village, Feng Yu, the head of the Jilinhai family, actually came to Miaomu Mountain. This matter was obviously shrouded in a layer of mystery.

In addition, the sprites are now fully resurrected, and the Kusachi clan to which Ryūyu belongs is said to be distantly related to the shrine maiden clan, and also has the ability to seal sprites...

Sensing Jiraiya's doubtful look, Feng Yan opened his eyes and said to Jiraiya: "The child of destiny is not limited to one person! Even the dreams of old toads sometimes go wrong."
