"ah!"
In the palace of Miaomu Mountain, the Great Toad Immortal, who had been sleeping to sense the future, suddenly woke up and let out a rapid exclamation.
"Great Immortal!"
The two great immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, quickly dropped what they were doing and rushed to the entrance of the palace to stand.
"……come in."
After a while, the tired voice of Immortal Toad came from the palace.
Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other and stepped inside with a hint of worry.
This was the second time that Great Toad Immortal woke up from his sleep.
After the first awakening, it was the ancient period when the sacred tree was born and Kaguya came to the world...
After entering the palace, the Great Toad Immortal had returned to his usual confused appearance. It seemed that the exclamation just now was just the hallucination of the two immortals.
"..."
After bowing, Fukasaku and Shima stood with their hands down, waiting for instructions.
Although Fukasaku usually calls the founder of Myobokuyama unkindly, calling him "the old fool who sleeps" from time to time, in fact everyone on Mount Myoboku knows very well that it is this person who lives in the palace all day long. The old guy who is sleepy and motionless is the backbone of Miaomu Mountain.
"...I can no longer see the future."
After a long time, the Great Toad Immortal opened his mouth and spoke.
"What!"
Fukasaku and Shima were shocked.
"...I only saw blood, and could no longer see the future."
The Great Toad Immortal said again.
As he spoke, his breathing became heavier and heavier, as if he was going to die soon.
But Fukasaku and Shima didn't care about Toad Sennin's behavior at this time, they were just thinking about the meaning of what they just said.
Despite the fact that Toad-Sennin looks old now, judging from the extremely strong vitality in Toad-Sennin's body, I am afraid that his remaining lifespan will be longer than that of Fukasaku and Shima, his two descendants.
"Excuse me, Great Immortal, should you close Miaomu Mountain to escape from the world this time or..."
At Fukasaku's signal, Shima stepped forward and asked.
"...No, let's join the world!"
The Great Toad Immortal shook his head slowly, his voice as deep as rolling thunder.
Fukasaku and Shima were both stunned for a moment, and then a look of fear appeared on their faces.
The three major inheritance places are regarded as holy places, firstly because of the long inheritance, and secondly because they have the ability and means to avoid when encountering great changes in the world.
However, when Kaguya came to the world, Myobokuyama, under the leadership of Toad Sennin, abandoned the traditional way of escaping from the world and chose to join the world to support Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Although the goddess Kaguya was successfully sealed in the moon in the end, Myobokuyama As a result, Yimai suffered heavy casualties.
Although a lot of benefits have been gained due to active participation in the WTO, it takes time to convert the benefits into underlying strength, especially for the Myoboku Mountain Toad lineage, which needs time to settle back to its full glory.
Before Fukasaku and Shima, there were many other immortals in Mt. Myoboku, but they were all lost in that devastating battle.
"Great Immortal, think twice..."
Fukasaku couldn't sit still anymore and quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
It and Shima are only about 800 years old, and they are even juniors compared to the Three Goddess of Ryūchi Cave. Although Toad Sennin obtained a large amount of resources after sealing Kaguya, he can use it to train his juniors, but participating in Ninja The price of world war is something they, the "parties", are not willing to pay.
A great change in the world is equivalent to overcoming a catastrophe, and it is two different things than accepting a summons from a psychic to join the war. Once involved, even the top management of Miaomu Mountain who masters immortal arts will most likely end up being shattered to pieces.
After all, not even a toad wants to die.
"...I have made up my mind, no need to discuss."
The thunderous voice of the Great Toad Immortal sounded again, "Moreover, the smelly snake in Longdi Cave will probably change its stance this time..."
"Grandmaster White Snake..."
Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other.
Miaomu Mountain and Ryūchi Cave have always been mortal enemies. Why do they sound like they are united this time?
"Whether we cooperate with Longdi Cave or not depends on the relationship between the above-ground walkers on both sides. We only need to exert influence on this but not directly interfere..."
The Great Toad Immortal said again: "By the way, let Jiraiya come back a few more times when you have time... His attainments in immortal arts are really poor, so you should give him more guidance..."
After saying that, the Great Toad Immortal fell into a state of false sleep.
After the two immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, stood respectfully for a while, they made sure that the great immortal had no other instructions, and then they respectfully stepped back and left the palace.
"Joining the world..."
Fukasaku let out a long sigh, "I don't know how many children will die this time..."
"...Forget it, let that kid Jiraiya come back quickly!"
Shimafu hurried home in a hurry, "The food at home is still burning. You use the contact frog to call Jiraiya. When he arrives, we can have a meal together!"
"well……"
Fukasaku continued to sigh.
…
Since the Battle of Settsu, Tsunade, who has been living in seclusion in Konoha's Senju clan, has also sensed the call of reverse necromancy from the Shiggy Bone Forest.
And this was also the first time the Slug Immortal actively summoned him.
After Tsunade hurriedly explained some matters, she turned into a ball of smoke and headed to the Shiggy Bone Forest according to the reverse necromantic technique.
"Tsunade-sama..."
A soft and sweet voice sounded from behind her.
"Slug...are you looking for me?"
Tsunade, who had just arrived at the Shiggy Bone Forest, held her breath to block the erosion of the high concentration of acid gas, and turned back to ask a large slug of adult height behind her.
"Yes...Tsunade-sama, please let me take you to see the true body."
The slug obediently bent down its soft body and motioned for Tsunade to sit on it.
Tsunade also stepped forward without caring.
The Shiggy Bone Forest is different from the prosperous ethnic groups in the equally famous Ryūchi Cave and Miaomu Mountain. The large number of slugs that live here are actually the clones of the ancestor Slug Immortal. Every slug that accepts channeling can be regarded as an extension of the common consciousness, but other The ontology will only hold relatively more knowledge or mysteries.
Moreover, what would it mean for Shigulin, which has always been indifferent to the world, to suddenly do something like this?
Slugs move very quickly in acidic solutions. Just when Tsunade was still thinking wildly, the slug clone had already carried Tsunade to the main body of the slug ancestor.
"Tsunade-sama, long time no see..."
Although Slug Immortal's voice echoed throughout the world, he still used honorifics like the clone Slug.
"Great Immortal..."
Tsunade got off the clone Slug's back and said hello to the Great Slug Sennin.
"There may be big changes in the ninja world..."
Slug Immortal said.
"Big change?!"
Tsunade's expression changed accordingly.
"What the toad from Mt. Miaomu said..."
Slug Sage said again: "It is said that this time, Gamamaru can no longer see the future."
Tsunade was still in a state of shock, being scorched on the outside and tender on the inside from one big melon after another.
"Moreover, Longdi Cave will even change its original intention this time and choose to join forces with Miaomu Mountain to deal with the great changes in the world in the future..."
"Excuse me, Great Immortal...what is the Great Change of Heaven and Earth?"
Tsunade asked with a frown.
"...I don't know. I was sleeping when the world changed last time, and there were no contracted earth walkers at that time."
Immortal Slug said without hesitation.
"Then... when will the so-called great change of heaven and earth occur?"
Tsunade continued to ask.
"I don't know~ Maybe it's the future, maybe it won't come..."
Immortal Slug shook the two huge tentacles on his head, "And this is what the old toad from Miaomu Mountain said. Its prophecies may sometimes work or not, no one can say for sure..."
"..."
Tsunade was speechless.
"You're my groundwalker, so I'll support you."
"And I won't interfere in the direction of the ninja world. I just want to tell you face to face."
After finishing speaking, Immortal Slug began to chew on a big tree next to him.
"...Thank you, Great Immortal, for your guidance!"
After a moment of silence, Tsunade, who felt very heavy, bowed to the great Slug Immortal who was eating, then released the reverse necromancy and left the wet bone forest.
A figure that looked like a great toad but was short in stature walked out of a big tree that had been bitten like an umbrella. He came to the slug and looked up at it, which looked like the largest mountain range in the world. body of.
"Are you really not planning to join the world?"
"What do these things have to do with me? The destruction of the ninja world will not affect even a hair in the Holy Land..."
The Slug Immortal did not stop eating, but turned the two tentacles on his head and said: "It's you... Is your body okay? If you go out with the clone technique like this, I'm afraid it will have a greater impact on your lifespan... …”
"...I still have more than a thousand years to live."
The clone version of Toad Immortal said this.
"It's really sad... Did sealing Kaguya with Hagoromo last time hurt you that much?"
"Seeing the future often also consumes a lot of life force..."
Immortal Toad replied: "Besides, I have a clone going to Longdi Cave, and White Snake will also send its people into the world. Do you really not think about it?"
"You have lost the sense of detachment as a sage. This is very dangerous, Tomamaru."
A small slug detached from the body and came to the Toad Immortal and said.
"...You're still the same."
The Toad Immortal sighed.
"You too, but I hope you will still be alive when I wake up next time..."
Immortal Slug said nonchalantly.
"The descendants of Indra control most of the ninja world. This is completely different from the scene foreseen in the future."
The toad fairy continued to try to persuade.
"Changed the future? That's really exciting~"
Immortal Slug still didn't care: "Moreover, do you think the future you see is the future? Isn't it just a vain dream?"
"This time is different, and if Indra's descendants become stronger and stronger, they may attract the prying eyes of those aliens in the deep space..."
The Toad Immortal shook his head.
"White Snake belongs to the past, you are obsessed with the future..."
The main body of the Slug Immortal stopped eating, turned around his huge body, looked at the tiny dust-like clone of the Toad Immortal, and said: "But no matter what, I will not try to change the present, because only in this way will the present be more exciting." …”
