Chapter 314: Prophecy
Chapter 314: Prophecy
Myoki Mountain.
This deep mountain that has not been invaded by human forces is like a fairyland, the mountain is shrouded in mist, large or small, different kinds of toads and frogs live in all corners, the mountain is full of huge lotus leaves, and occasionally there are a few colorful toads lying on it leisurely to rest, and the whole exudes a comfortable atmosphere that is indisputable with the world.
But in one corner of the mountain, there is a human being who is out of step with this harmonious environment.
Naruto Uzumaki has regretted following Fukasaku to Mt. Miaomu, it's okay to enjoy the beautiful environment, but after a long time, it is inevitable to feel aesthetic fatigue, and more importantly, this kind of scenery can't be eaten, whether it's food or living habits, for Naruto Uzumaki as a human, he can't adapt to it.
What makes Naruto Uzumaki even more impatient is that his cultivation in the past few days has not achieved any results, the cultivation of immortal arts is not easy, and he has been famous for many years in the original book, and he barely mastered it not long before he fought with Payne, not to mention the current Naruto Uzumaki?
Bang!
When Fukasaku once again swung the iron rod and slammed it on his back, Naruto Uzumaki finally couldn't hold back the pain and rolled around on the ground screaming.
"If I continue to fight like this, I don't need to practice immortal arts, and I will be killed first." Naruto Uzumaki complained angrily, absorbing natural energy and asking him to "not move" like a dead thing, which was already a very difficult requirement, and now with the scars and pain all over his body, it was even more difficult for Naruto Uzumaki to keep his mind calm.
"Are you going to give up here?" Fukasaku didn't take Naruto Uzumaki's complaint seriously, and instead rebuked loudly.
"It's not that I give up!" Naruto Uzumaki kicked a stone on the ground away, and Fukasaku said without flinching, "It's that this method doesn't work for me at all!" ”
Fukasaku stared at Naruto Uzumaki for a while, suddenly put down the iron rod in his hand, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, you can rest first." ”
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki leave this place silently, Fukasaku sighed.
Shikamaru became the Hokage's blow to Naruto Uzumaki, far beyond Fukasaku's expectations.
If in the past, Naruto Uzumaki worked hard to practice and constantly pursue progress, or because he had an obvious goal, when Iruka, the first to identify with him, died, Jiraiya, who had always encouraged and taught him, died in battle, and the Hokage, who had always been a dream, was taken away by a ninja who was unattainable among his peers, Naruto Uzumaki was still able to force himself to cultivate, completely because of habitual thinking.
There is no longer the enthusiasm and inspiration that used to treat training, only mechanical movements and impatient thoughts.
Fukasaku could see Naruto's occasional confusion, and if he maintained this mental state, he would probably not be able to learn senjutsu for the rest of his life, and he would have to find a solution.
Fukasaku thought about it and decided to take Naruto Uzumaki to meet the Great Toad Immortal, and now the priority is to help Naruto Uzumaki, who is already confused about his future, regain his confidence, and maybe it's time to explain to him about the "Child of Prophecy".
"Naruto!" After Fukasaku made up his mind, he greeted Naruto Uzumaki, who was sitting alone on a large rock in a daze, and when he saw the other party looking over, he said loudly, "Come here, go to a place with me!" ”
…………
Naruto Uzumaki had already seen all kinds of toads in Mt. Myoki, like the toad boss with a yakuza habit, or like Fukasaku and Shima, two toad immortals, with human-like hair, and so on, I thought I was already surprised.
But the first time he saw a huge toad immortal with a huge body like a small mountain, he still felt very weird.
He had never seen such an old toad, and the big toad immortal with a black doctor's hat seemed to be going to die of sleep at any moment, as if he had lost the strength to open his eyes, and when Naruto Uzumaki and Fukasaku walked in front of him, he still didn't react.
"He's not going to die, is he?" Naruto Uzumaki looked worriedly at the huge body of the Great Toad Immortal and whispered to Fukasaku.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Fukasaku turned his head and reprimanded, then cleared his throat and called loudly: "Big toad immortal? ”
“……。” Half a sound later, just as Naruto Uzumaki felt impatient and wanted to speak, the Great Toad Immortal suddenly responded, "Is it Fukasaku, what are you doing here?" ”
"I feel like it's time to tell Naruto about that prophecy you made." Fukasaku seemed to be worried that the Great Toad Immortal had a hearing problem, and shouted in a loud voice.
"In that case...... you go and call Naruto Uzumaki!" The big toad immortal always seemed to react with a full beat, and after a while, Fang slowly responded.
"I'm right here!" Naruto Uzumaki didn't wait for Fukasaku to open his mouth this time, and he shouted loudly.
"You're Naruto Uzumaki?" The Great Toad Immortal barely opened his eyes and looked at Naruto, "It seems that the Child of Prophecy is you." ”
"Child of Prophecy?" Naruto Uzumaki muttered inexplicably.
"I made a prophecy a long time ago, a prophecy related to Jiraiya and his disciples." The Great Toad Immortal continued to say in a slow, anxious tone: "This world will usher in a change, and Zilai will also play a key role in it, I have told him that he will meet a savior, and he will guide this person to save the world ......." ”
"It's you, Naruto." Without waiting for the slow-moving Toad Immortal to finish speaking, Fukasaku preemptively said to Naruto, "Jiraiya believes that you are the 'Child of Prophecy' and the savior of the world, and the ninja who will bring change to the ninja world. ”
"The prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal has never been missed." Fukasaku saw that Naruto Uzumaki didn't seem to believe his words, so he continued, "Nara Shikamaru is indeed an excellent ninja, but that doesn't mean that he belongs to the Hokage. ”
"But will I be able to surpass him?" Naruto Uzumaki asked unconfidently.
"You've seen the power of senjutsu, and beyond that, you have the greatest legacy left by four generations of Hokage in your body." Fukasaku pointed to Naruto Uzumaki's lower abdomen and said affirmatively, "From the day you were born, you were destined to be a savior!" ”
Fukasaku's eloquent appearance made Naruto Uzumaki's heart shake as well, and he subconsciously stroked his lower abdomen, as if he could feel a round of seals on his skin through his clothes.
"What do you mean by what you just said?" Naruto asked Fukasaku with a complicated expression, "Do you mean the Nine-Tails when you say the legacy left by the four generations of Hokage?" ”
"That's right." Fukasaku nodded affirmatively: "As long as you can master the power of the Nine-Tails, you will definitely be able to surpass or even defeat Shikamaru!" ”
…………
Shikamaru was standing on a ruin, his right hand gently stroking his chin, looking thoughtful.
From here, you can see the gate of Konoha Village directly through the straight avenue, and the ruins of this area were supposed to be a red building like a flame, but unfortunately it has now disappeared.
Kaminobi's trust vote, Shikamaru unsurprisingly passed with an almost unanimous vote, and officially became the sixth Hokage of Konoha Village, and when the reconstruction work is in full swing, his statue will be engraved on the cliff behind him, just like the previous Hokage, his story will also be widely spread in Konoha Village.
It's just that it's a little too early to think about this, Shikamaru is now thinking about the inauguration ceremony to be held next in front of all the villagers, which is the link for all the villagers to know the new Hokage, which used to be held in front of the Hokage Building.
The wide road leading to the gate provided a good venue for the ceremony, allowing the villagers to participate without being overcrowded, and the new Hokage could see all the villagers as he stood on the iconic building that had been indestructible for decades.
Standing behind the giant word "fire" at the top of the building, the new Hokage stands behind the huge "fire" character at the top of the building, and loudly declares that he will become the Hokage and lead the village to prosperity.
In that one, the new Hokage seemed to have a sense of mission that was born with it.
Only now, for the first time, the building has been destroyed in the war, and Shikamaru's successor seems to have left some flaws.
If that's all, Shikamaru can laugh it off, but if he wants to make the future Konoha Village more aggressive, he must boost the morale of the Konoha ninjas, even if they have just experienced Payne's attack, which is traditional, and Shikamaru must keep it up.
Thinking of this, Shikamaru didn't hesitate any longer, his hands were sealed, and he suddenly pressed his palm on the ground.
The art of the Four Pillars!
Bang!
Shikamaru thought back to the Hokage building in his memory, and at the same time, a wooden building rose from under the Hokage Rock, except for the color, the exterior was no different from the original Hokage building, except that there were no windows, and some stone materials were also replaced by wood.
It was the first time that Nara Antlers had watched a ninja perform the Wooden Ninjutsu up close, and he was amazed to see a building grow from scratch in just a few seconds.
"One day," Shikamaru looked at the building that seemed to smell of wood after performing his ninjutsu, and then turned to Nara Shikahisa on the side and said, "Paint it, just like before." ”
"Understood, Hokage-sama." Nara Antlers nodded yes, the most difficult part Shikamaru has already helped them complete, and it is not difficult for ninjas to decorate their appearance before the inauguration ceremony begins tomorrow.
What's more, there are many hired workers in Tanokuni to help now, so as long as the exterior is decorated first, the interior is not in a hurry.
When Shikamaru heard this, he didn't say anything more, Nara Antlers was an assistant sent by his father, and he could still be trusted. Shikamaru likes to be as hands-on as possible, but he also knows that he can't do everything himself, otherwise a lot of work would not be possible.
After giving instructions on the remodeling of the Hokage Building, Shikamaru returned to his makeshift office tent, and immediately after the Hokage's inauguration ceremony, he was to leave for the Land of Iron to prepare for the Five Shadows Talks.
But before that, he needs to pick two assistants.
