Chapter 307 Prophecy
Miaomu Mountain is like a paradise, uninhabited, but it is also a human-style building.
The residences of toads are built of bricks and stones, often integrated with trees or giant mushrooms, while the Toad Immortal Palace of the Great Toad Immortal is a completely human building.
Going up the long steps, there are stone pillars standing as the gate of the palace. Going inside, there is a building that looks like a sacrificial building, with the middle door open.
At a glance, the Immortal Palace has gone through the baptism of time, exuding a primitive atmosphere, majestic and intimidating.
Fukasaku led Jiraiya and Nagato into the palace gate.
The space inside is not large, and you can have a panoramic view of the scene inside at a glance.
Directly opposite the palace door is a huge seat. On the left and right sides, there are huge scrolls painted with black and complicated magic spells. Four bundles stand still on one side.
Sitting on the seat was a sizable old toad, wearing a necklace with the word "oil" around its neck and a hat that looked like a doctor's hat.
"Old Master."
Fukasaku stepped forward and said hello.
Jikaiya and Minato stood behind Fukasaku, looking up at Toad Sennin.
Jiraiya had seen it several times and had no reaction. Minato was quite surprised because even if he was not a perceptive ninja, he could still feel the huge chakra in Toad Sennin's body, which was not much inferior to the tailed beast.
This is... the Great Immortal Toad.
Minato suppressed his surprise.
Toad Sage opened his eyes in a daze, and his round eyes were cracked like threads, and he looked at Jiraiya. After staring for a moment, he asked doubtfully: "Where is little Jiraiya?"
Fukasaku reminded: "This is little Jiraiya."
"Oh?" Immortal Toad showed a surprised expression.
Jiraiya stretched out his index finger, scratched the sun, and smiled helplessly.
"Here he comes." The Toad Immortal thought for a moment, looking like an old toad suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Fukasaku looked solemn and asked, "I wonder if the old man will summon little Jiraiya and little Minato this time. Do you have any new instructions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya showed a serious expression, while Minato tried his best to maintain his calmness. He knew nothing about it.
"Um…"
Toad Sage's voice was very long, and after pondering for a while, his voice was extremely old. He looked at little Jiraiya and said, "What's your name?"
Jiraiya's serious expression suddenly collapsed and he looked at Toad Sage speechlessly.
Fukasaku said helplessly: "Oh, here we go again. This is little Jiraiya, and the one next to him is little Minato. You called them two here."
"oh."
The Toad Immortal suddenly understood.
Is this the Great Toad Immortal...
Minato gave a forced smile.
"Last night, I had a dream." The gap in Toad Sage's eyes opened slightly expanded, and he said, "This is the dream that Xiao Minato had after he came to Miaomu Mountain, and it is also a prophecy about... Xiao Minato."
Hearing this, Jiraiya glanced at Minato, who was confused, and said in a deep voice, "Is this related to your previous prophecy, Toad Sage?"
Toad Sage was silent for a moment, and in an inexplicable tone that even he could not understand, he did not answer Jiraiya directly, but said: "My predictions are never wrong, but after Xiao Minato came to Miaomu Mountain, everything happened. That dream made me doubt my prediction."
As soon as these words came out, Fukasaku and Jiraiya's expressions suddenly changed. What kind of dream could make Toad Sage say such words? It actually made the Toad Immortal question his prophecy.
"Old Master, what is going on?" Fukasaku asked solemnly. As a toad that has been with the old master for nearly a thousand years, it has a clear vision of the old master's prophecy.
"There is an 'unknown thing' that at some point in the past, changed the ninja world. His existence has overturned the established prophecies in the past." If it weren't for the slits in the eyes being too small, Fukasaku, Jiraiya, and Minato would definitely You can see the overwhelming surprise in Toad Immortal's eyes.
"That is an 'unknown thing' that should not exist, and it also brings layers of fog. Unless the 'unknown thing' comes here, I can know more."
The original prophecy...may have been led in an unknown direction by the 'unknown thing'. What on earth could it have affected it to such an extent?
Jiraiya frowned and said in a deep voice, "How does this affect the prophecy you made earlier about the 'Child of Prophecy'?"
"Everything has changed."
Toad Sento's tone became erratic and he said: "However, the key to the future of the ninja world still lies in the 'son of prophecy'."
Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Minato, who had a puzzled look on his face.
Looking away from Minato's face, Jiraiya looked at Toad Sage and said seriously: "I firmly believe that Minato is the 'son of the prophecy' you called him."
"Child of prophecy, are you talking about me?" The confusion on Minato's face could not be resolved.
The Toad Immortal nodded slightly and said, "Then, what the 'Son of Prophecy' will face is a snake as black as eternal night."
"Snake..." Jiraiya and Minato were suddenly startled. For the first time, the image of Orochimaru appeared in their minds.
Fukasaku asked: "Old Master, is this the content of the dream?"
Toad Immortal, his old body moved slightly on his seat. He raised his head slightly, not knowing where to direct his gaze.
"The snake is as black as the eternal night and brings disaster. Behind it is endless light. In front of it are many creatures that confront it. The leader is you...Little Minato."
"Whether the future of the ninja world will be destroyed or stable...the key lies in you and the snake. Maybe the black snake is the 'unknown thing'."
Jiraiya and Minato looked at each other, black snake, what on earth is it?
"Jiraiya-sensei, am I... related to the survival of the ninja world?" Compared with that doubt, Minato found it even more difficult to accept the heavy responsibility that was suddenly placed on his shoulders.
Jiraiya stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, smiling: "Are you uneasy?"
Minato shook his head and whispered: "It's just...sudden."
His dream was to become Hokage, protect Konoha, and protect the important people around him. How could he have thought that one day, the survival of the ninja world would be related to him?
"You are... the most talented ninja in history, and you are also my genius' apprentice. I believe in you." Jiraiya pressed his hand on Minato's shoulder with a little force.
Facing Jiraiya's trusting gaze, Minato took a deep breath and showed his usual soft and calm smile.
Toad Sento silently looked at the two humans who had once again walked into Miaomu Mountain in the past few years. He could not decide what the final outcome of the ninja world would be, but he could guide it as much as possible.
The black snake of disaster in the dream is a minority after all, but the 'son of prophecy' who can bring hope is a crowd.
He has reason to firmly believe that the final result of the ninja world will be stability, which is the result of change.
If you think of snakes...
Existing in the vague yet slightly clear memories of the past, it was that annoying guy.
But, if I remember correctly, that guy is white!
At that time, he was clamoring to eat me. He said that it was an established rule in the world that snakes swallowed toads, so I gave him a beating.
So, could Black Snake be relevant to you?
Lost in the memories of the past, the Toad Immortal fell asleep in a daze, snoring slightly.
At this time, the people and the toad in the palace noticed that the Toad Immortal was asleep.
"Okay, continue practicing!" Jiraiya retracted his hand.
"Yeah," Minato nodded heavily.
"Keep your voice down," Fukasaku scolded.
Jiraiya and Minato looked at each other and smiled silently.
