In the depths of Myoki Mountain, there is a paradise full of birds and flowers.

The natural energy in this space is generally richer than that of the outside world, and the concentration is about the same as that of the wet bone forest that Shiraishi has visited.

Practicing immortal arts here, or refining the natural energy of the natural world, can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The toads that can be seen everywhere are large and small, and the largest is as big as a hill, but it is slightly inferior to the giant toad that guards the gate, but it is also a rare giant psychic beast.

The rest of the toads are generally the size of adult humans, or slightly larger.

Irrigated by natural energy all year round, their bodies become extremely strong.

And they can also control the chakra freely, and when they are concentrated, they are a powerful and incomparable army.

Not only that, but you can also see a large number of houses here, and the appearance and size of the houses are different from human architecture, and they are full of exotic atmosphere.

Judging from the number and strength of these toads alone, Shiraishi felt that he might not be able to bite this place with thousands of ninja troops.

This is not counting the two great immortals, as well as the actual manager of Miaomu Mountain, the Great Toad Immortal.

If you have to evaluate, that is, the overall strength of Miaomu Mountain may not be inferior to that of a big country ninja village, and even stronger in terms of heritage.

The Great Toad Immortal is as famous as the Living Slug and the White Snake Immortal in the Dragon Cave, and it first appeared in the era when the Great Barrel Wood Kaguya ruled the world, and it has a lot to do with the Six Dao Immortals who established the Ninja Sect.

It can be said that it is a fairly ancient existence in the ninja world.

It's not surprising what kind of abilities such a guy has.

At the same time, if Miaomu Mountain is used as the target of attack, then how to target the big toad immortal is the biggest difficulty.

The rest of the large toads, and even the Iwasu Great Toad guarding the door, including the two great immortals as elders, were not invincible existences in Shiraishi's eyes.

Only the big toad immortal is different.

Even Baishi has prepared the possibility of sneaking in and being discovered by the big toad immortal, and he can channel the fire spirit out at any time to break it off, so that he has time to retreat safely.

No matter how bad it is, putting the naked son here and letting him run wild here can also be used to buy time.

Luckily, although it took a lot of effort to infiltrate the barrier, it was discovered by the toad of Myoki Mountain, and nothing like this happened.

Shiraishi, who is bent on spying on intelligence, thinks that it is better not to startle the snake now, but if he really has to fight, he will not back down.

Quietly lurking in the shadow of the shadow dancer, Shiraishi took this opportunity to move to every corner of the deep mountain area of Myoki Mountain, and roughly counted the terrain here and the number of toads with combat power.

During this period, he also met two great immortals passing by, Fukasaku Immortal and Zhima Immortal.

However, because these two toads possessed extremely strong immortal attainments, Bai Shi did not get too close to them, but watched from a distance, watching the two immortals walk towards the 'inside' of the deep mountain.

Faintly visible, it was a huge temple-like building.

It's bigger than any temple Shiraishi has ever seen.

At the top of the temple, something resembling a door plaque is engraved with a huge character 'Xian'.

Large toads with weapons patrol the perimeter of the temple.

An enchantment invisible to the naked eye wraps around the temple.

According to the living slug, the place where the toad immortal lives in Miaomu Mountain is a temple.

Obviously, it is the place where the Great Toad Immortals live, and it is also the core area of Myoki Mountain.

Bai Shi could vaguely feel the huge immortal chakra pressing on top of his head...... It's like facing the tailed beast, no, it's more oppressive and heavy than facing the tailed beast.

This extraordinary immortal chakra, Shiraishi has only felt it on the living slug so far.

It is also a creature that surpasses human common sense.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being a toad that has lived for thousands of years?

Compared to it, the two immortals at the elder level could not be compared to its sense of existence at all.

In the words of the Fire Elve...... Can it be beaten? Shiraishi begins to question the power of the fire spirits.

The fact that the body was able to hold such a powerful immortal chakra meant that the physical strength of the Great Toad Immortal was beyond common sense.

If the strength of the body has not reached an extraordinary realm, accommodating such a strength of immortal chakra in the body will directly explode and die.

And cultivating immortal arts, it means that the perception is not weak.

The Fire Elf's starting move requires unleashing a large amount of chakra, which is enough for the opponent to use defensive moves to cushion the attack during this gap.

The fire spirits who had annihilated thousands of ninjas in one fell swoop, and when used here, Shiraishi was not so confident.

Shiraishi didn't dwell on this question for too long, and continued to move towards the unexplored area.

In any case, let's first carefully explore all the places except the core temple of Myoki Mountain.

Let's see if there is anything else to pay attention to here besides the big toad immortals.

Except for the big toad immortal, Miaomu Mountain is difficult to guarantee that there are no other powerful characters, and careful investigation is the best policy.

……

"Old thing, is there anything you want to do with us at this time?"

Entering the main hall of the temple, the Zhima Immortal spoke in an extremely unceremonious tone, and questioned the big toad immortal sitting on the wide seat.

Although Fukasaku Immortal was dissatisfied with his wife's rudeness, considering his status in the family, his mouth moved twice and he didn't say anything.

And the big toad immortal who was sitting there opened a pair of sleepy-eyed eyes, glanced at the Zhima immortal, and did not care about the other party's rudeness, but said slowly: "Just now, I was a little uneasy, and I always felt that something was going to happen to Miaomu Mountain, so I specially called you to come here to discuss it......"

"You're sleeping, aren't you? What kind of prophecy? Our Miaomu Mountain didn't provoke the other two holy places, how could anything big happen? ”

The Zhi Ma Immortals scoffed at the claims of the Great Toad Immortals.

It often mocks the great toad immortal's 'ability' that can't tell whether it's a dream or a prophecy.

After all, when people are old, they are confused, and the big toad immortal has lived for more than a thousand years, and it is nothing to be confused at this age.

The other party's dying appearance felt that he might enter the coffin board at any time.

"kid, you don't have to say a word. That, sir, can you explain the matter in detail? ”

The Fukasaku Immortal sighed helplessly, and then looked at the Great Toad Immortal, hoping that the other party would explain the matter in detail.

Otherwise, it's just a feeling of restlessness...... There is not even a general direction to investigate in this way.

"I don't know."

“？”

I don't know what else are you talking about? Fukasaku Immortal was also a little unbearable.

However, considering that the other party was an elder, he couldn't help but have a seizure.

"Isn't it a prophecy?"

Fukasaku Immortal asked helplessly.

The big toad immortal glanced at him, didn't seem to see his helplessness, and continued to say slowly: "It's more like an early warning when I encounter danger than a prophecy, so I woke up from my sleep, this kind of thing, I haven't experienced it for a long time...... However, if you look closely, you won't see anything. ”

"What about this ......"

Fukasaku Immortal and Shima Immortal looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Is it the White Snake Immortal who caused the ghost?"

Compared to the neutral Wet Bone Forest, the Slug Immortals have always been indisputable, and the Dragon Earth Cave is a group of snake immortals with bad personalities.

The White Snake Immortal who commands the Dragon Cave is not a good type.

Moreover, Longdi Cave and Miaomu Mountain have not dealt with each other very much, and the relationship between the two can be described as extremely poor.

In the past, Longdi Cave has added a lot of trouble to Miaomu Mountain many times.

However, because the strength of the two holy places is similar, neither side can help the other, so the so-called conflict has always been a small-scale conflict, and it does not hinder major events.

"We're good at different fields, it doesn't have the ability to interfere with my predictions and warnings, this vague appearance is more like a spell performed by a witch in the country of ghosts, confusing the sight......"

The shriveled lips of the great toad immortal opened, and he said something like this.

"Oni no Kuni Maiden?"

The two immortals naturally knew what kind of place the country of ghosts was.

I also know that the country of ghosts now has a bad relationship with Konoha and Myoki Mountain.

In particular, their military leaders are humans who have signed a contract with the slug immortals of the Three Holy Lands of the Wet Bone Forest.

Not only that, but it also has a lot of weird abilities, especially the ability to disrupt the chakra system, which can be called tricky.

"The shrine maidens, the main vein of the Oni Country, also possess the power of prophecy, and their witch powers, when practiced to the advanced realm, can reverse time and space, so it can be said that they are 'abnormal' beings among human beings......"

The big toad immortal seemed to recall something.

"Is it because something has happened in the prophecy?"

The Fukasaku Immortal was a little apprehensive.

Why has there been no movement in the prophecy for so many years, and there have been frequent accidents over the years?

"I don't know."

The big toad immortal replied very simply.

As if it wouldn't say anything but that.

“……”

The Fukasaku Immortal took a deep breath.

Don't get angry, don't get angry, don't get angry......

"If you can, find a time to let Xiao Zilai come over, and by the way, let him bring a blue-eyed teenager......"

The big toad immortal slowly swallowed and spoke.

When he said 'blue-eyed boy', a hint of brightness finally came to his cloudy eyes.

"Blue-eyed boy...... Could it be that the prophesied ......"

The expressions of the Fukasaku Immortals and the Shima Immortals moved.

The great toad immortal closed his eyes, as if he was very tired, and fell into a deep sleep.

"This old thing is chattering, it can't really be Alzheimer's, right?"

The Zhima immortals were worried.

The housework is already very busy, and if you take care of an old man with Alzheimer's disease, you will feel too busy to die.

"Don't talk nonsense, the reason why the eldest master did this must have its deep meaning."

Although when he said such words, Fukasaku Immortal himself was a little unconvinced.

"So what now?"

"According to the old man's instructions, let Xiao Zilai also find a time to come over."

"Okay, I'll let Kosuke arrange this."

Here in Myoki Mountain, the person in charge of communicating with Konoha is a toad named Kosuke, and Shima Immortal intends to let him contact Konoha again and pass the news to Jiraiya.

Konoha, Haruno barbecue restaurant.

At Shikamaru's request, the eight people who pursued Sasuke that day all gathered here.

As the convener, this barbecue is naturally a treat for Shikamaru.

With the amount of food for eight people, Shikamaru has already prepared the psychological awareness of heavy bleeding.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive that day, which caused each of you to be seriously injured, if you are not satisfied, you can scold me as you like!"

Before the barbecue was ready, Shikamaru stood up from his seat and bowed to the rest of the room, his sincere face full of shame.

"That's too much of an outlier, Shikamaru. I don't know what the rest of the people think, but if I do it again, I'll still follow you in pursuit of Sasuke. If it's wrong, we can only blame us for being too weak to bring Sasuke back. ”

Tooth stroked Akamaru in his arms and said to Shikamaru, with no blame in his tone.

"That said, Shikamaru, we're ninjas, and although it's not an official mission, since there's a fight, everyone is ready to sacrifice."

Ding Ci also said on the side.

He, like Ya, didn't criticize Shikamaru too much.

"That is to say, it's rare to have a treat, so don't say such polite words. Just be prepared for heavy bleeding today. ”

Naruto grinned.

I've been running around with Jiraiya for the past few days, and I haven't eaten anything good, but now after returning to Konoha, I finally have a chance to enjoy it.

The rest of the people also agreed with each other, chasing Sasuke, although Shikamaru took the lead, but as classmates, it was impossible for them to sit idly by and watch Sasuke leave the village.

"Thank you."

Shikamaru apologized again before sitting back in his seat, the shame on his face still not completely eliminated.

"Speaking of which, when will you get a task to do? I'm dying of boredom. ”

At this moment, Naruto thought of something and opened his mouth to complain.

Because a series of things happened in Konoha that caused the mission system to collapse directly, Naruto, who had not done a mission for many days, began to itch his hands.

"Compared to that, the cost of living is the biggest problem. Because I didn't have any tasks to do, my family only gave us basic living expenses, and I couldn't even buy many cosmetics. ”

Ino said sullenly.

Although as a child of a large family, she is not short of money, but because she is not yet in charge of the family, all her consumption is earned by performing tasks, or she usually works part-time in the flower shop at home.

The rest of the people, she believes, are in a similar situation.

"That, Naruto-kun, do you also lack living expenses? If it's not enough, I can actually lend you a little ......."

Sitting next to Naruto, Hinata whispered.

Hinata has recovered from a serious injury, and her complexion has improved a lot.

Her turn from danger to safety made Naruto, who had received the news before, also breathe a sigh of relief.

If Hinata really died unfortunately because of Sasuke...... Then he will not be able to forgive himself in his life.

"Well, living expenses? I'm not lacking in that kind of thing. Have you forgotten, I got a bonus from the Oni Country, and I haven't spent it yet. ”

Naruto blinked in confusion.

"Yes, yes?"

Hinata blushed and turned her head away, feeling that she had asked a very silly question.

"Speaking of money...... Naruto, you're probably going to be a billionaire. ”

At this moment, Shikamaru suddenly thought of something and showed an interesting smile.

Shikamaru's words surprised many people, and they didn't know what Naruto and billionaires had to do with each other.

"Wasn't it announced before? Naruto is the only son of the four generations of Hokage-sama and his wife, and the village leaders chose to hide this matter before, so there was no way for Naruto to inherit his parents' inheritance, but now that this secret has been made public, then, the inheritance of the four generations of Hokage-sama will naturally be divided under Naruto's account. ”

Shikamaru also listened to his father about this.

Although Shikamaru was also surprised by this incident at the beginning, but when he thought about it seriously, in fact, those who held the inheritance of the four generations of Hokage and his wife and did not let go of the high-level had to return it under the pressure of public opinion in the village. After all, Naruto, who has this level of identity, has greatly reversed his notoriety in the village, and if the higher-ups continue to go their own way, then the stable system that the village has managed to restore will be disrupted again.

If the top brass doesn't want things to turn into that, that's the only way to do it.

"It turns out that there is such a thing, since this is the case, then it is decided, next time it will be Naruto's turn to treat you."

It was as if the tooth had finalized it.

"That's right, I'm going to be a billionaire after all."

Although at their age, the four generations of Hokage themselves only learned about it through textbooks, but as Hokage, his family property must be very rich.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is decided!"

Although he didn't know, Naruto agreed, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

"So, let's start this barbecue—"

At Shikamaru's call, everyone raised their cups full of drinks.

"Cheers!"

……

"Those children, it seems that they have come out of their grief, they are young people, they are really envious."

On the rooftop of the shop building opposite the Haruno's barbecue restaurant, two men and a woman approached the railing on the edge of the rooftop, and one of them, the female red spoke.

The other two men, Kai and Asma, seemed to have accumulated a lot of gloom on their faces and were in a bad mood from their expressions.

Seeing that the two were silent, Red sighed silently in his heart, and then brought up the topic intentionally or unintentionally:

"Speaking of which, did Kakashi really betray that guy?"

It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentions this, Kai's whole person will lose hope and fall to the ground, in a near-death state of out-of-body experience.

"Ah, that's right."

Asma reread this sentence without emotion, and then subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket, and was about to light it with a lighter, but was stopped by Red.

"Didn't you say you were not allowed to smoke in my place?"

Red's eyes were fierce.

"Sorry, forgot."

Asma seemed to remember this, and slipped the lighter into her pocket, just smoking a cigarette and getting over it.

"Really, as a man, you have a little bit of a man, don't just worry about sadness here. This kind of thing shouldn't be explained by me as a woman. ”

Red looked at the two of them still silent and decadent, and frowned unhappily.

But the two still had no intention of accosting Hong, so Hong shook her head helplessly.

It is estimated that these two people will need a lot of time to regulate their emotions.

◎

"It's Kosuke, aren't you staying in Myoki Mountain? Why did you come to me at such a time? ”

Jiraiya, who was writing in his own house in Konoha Naka, suddenly saw a small red toad jump in from outside the window.

When it caused a stir, Jiraiya's gaze shifted to a look of surprise.

"It was the Zhima Immortal who asked me to come over, saying that the old man was looking for you for something."

Kosuke Toad also quickly gave an explanation in the face of Jiraiya's question.

"Great toad immortals?"

Jiraiya was even more surprised.

"Well, and also asked you to bring a blue-eyed boy with you when you are ready to go to Miaomu Mountain."

Toad Kosuke remembered something again, and ordered Jiraiya.

A blue-eyed teenager? In Jiraiya's mind, he suddenly remembered Naruto's appearance.

Sure enough, Naruto was the Child of Prophecy, exactly as he had guessed.

Hearing that the Great Toad Immortal was going to let him take Naruto to Mt. Myoki, Jiraiya further affirmed Naruto's identity.

"Well, I see. But I can't leave now, and soon Konoha will hold the succession ceremony of the fifth Hokage, and I, as the three ninjas, must be there. ”

Considering Konoha's situation at this time, Jiraiya still decided to put the matter of Naruto to Myoki Mountain behind the scenes.

If Tsunade knew that he didn't attend her fifth-generation Hokage succession ceremony, then his outcome would have been miserable.

"Grandpa Tai just let you go over in the near future, and there is no specific time, and it doesn't matter if you are a few days late."

Kosuke Toad replied.

"That's great. By the way, do you know what the reason for the big toad immortal suddenly asked me to come over? ”

Jiraiya asked.

The Great Toad Immortal would not let him go to Myoki Mountain for no reason, but would go with the Son of Prophecy.

Maybe there was something wrong in this that he didn't know about, so that the big toad immortal suddenly made this decision.

"You can ask the master about this kind of thing, I'm just an errand herald."

Toad Kosuke shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what happened to the big toad immortal suddenly looking for him.

"Well, I understand, then, in a week, I'll take the person the Great Toad Immortal is looking for, and go to Miaomu Mountain. The other party also signed a contract with Miaomu Mountain, and when the time comes, let the quasi-reverse psychic art over there summon us over. The time is set for 12 o'clock at noon in a week's time. ”

Jiraiya thought about it and set the time for twelve o'clock at noon in a week.

Use this time as a signal to prepare a reverse psychic spell over there.

Although it is also possible to go on foot, in that case, it will be a waste of time, and it is better to reverse the psychic technique to save a little trouble.

Kosuke Toad, when he received Jiraiya's reply, nodded, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared in the courtyard.

Looking at the direction in which Kosuke left, Jiraiya fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about why the Great Toad Immortal did this.

His original intention was to let Naruto cultivate under his hands for a few years, and then go to Myoki Mountain to receive training in immortal arts, but now it seems that the big toad immortal means that he intends to let Naruto receive training in immortal arts in advance?
