Chapter 43: The Battle of Myoki Mountain (2)

The air in the valley is filled with a moist smell, and the various plants that grow in the valley are even larger than the outside world.

And even in the cold winter, everything still has not withered, the grass and trees are verdant, bursting with vitality.

Next to the oil pool where the toad oil was stored, the huge toad stone statue smashed down with a bang, causing the ground to shake, and Naruto, who was shirtless, wiped the sweat from his face and panted heavily.

Looking at the huge toad statue that was lifted by himself and smashed into the designated position, Naruto's sweaty face couldn't help but show a happy smile.

After Konoha finished the New Year, he came to Myoki Mountain to continue learning the use of immortal arts because of the order of the village.

The reason given is that it is now a critical time of war, and as a human pillar, even if he stays in Konoha Village, he cannot be called safe.

With the large number of ninjas in the village being withdrawn, the upper ninja is also performing its own duties, and a human pillar force that cannot form the main combat power will seriously disperse the village's power at this time. In view of this, sending him to a place like Miaomu Mountain, which is difficult to be invaded by foreign enemies, is the best choice.

As one of the three sacred places of psychic beasts, Miaomu Mountain still stands in the ninja world until now, and it has not fallen for thousands of years, which is enough to prove the strength of this holy place, which is by no means as simple as imagined.

Coupled with the special care of the Great Toad Immortal, the leader of Myoki Mountain, for Naruto, he naturally would not refuse this request from Konoha.

In other words, the sooner Naruto masters the immortal arts, it is also an imminent matter for Myoki Mountain.

Although the reasons for this are quite complex, for Naruto, there is no reason to oppose being able to quickly increase his strength.

What's more, this place in Miaomu Mountain is indeed more suitable for cultivation than the rest of the places, and the high concentration of natural energy that is active in the air makes it easier to complete the introductory cultivation of natural energy compared to the outside world.

Naruto wants to complete the senjutsu quickly, and Myoki Mountain is undoubtedly the best choice.

"I've already walked ten laps, little Naruto, you can rest a little too."

Fukasaku Immortal jumped over and saw the toad stone statue land precisely on the starting point, and nodded at Naruto.

Although the toad statue Naruto was holding was only of average size among the surrounding statues, in terms of entry, he was able to carry such a heavy stone statue and walk ten times in one breath around the open space in front of the oil pool...... This resilience is far more focused and serious than that of Zilai, who first got involved in immortal arts.

Thinking of this, the Fukasaku Immortal couldn't help but feel sorry.

Originally, this student had the opportunity to enter the immortal mode by himself, but it was a pity that when he was young and practiced immortal arts, he was too inattentive and easily disturbed by external factors, resulting in him now in his fifties, and he is still half-witted in immortal arts.

Although this kind of half-hung immortal art is also very remarkable as a human being, as a teacher who teaches Jiraiya immortal arts, he naturally hopes that Jiraiya can strive for excellence on this basis.

Otherwise, every time he encounters a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat, he will have to drag his old bone out to fight together.

In contrast, Naruto's basic conditions are better than Jiraiya's.

Strong physical strength and vitality, with a large number of chakra, and always engrossed in cultivation and devoted himself wholeheartedly, so that the Fukasaku Immortal couldn't help but sigh, worthy of the 'son of prophecy' in the mouth of the great master. In the long run, maybe he will be the most outstanding successor of Miaomu Mountain, far more than the half-hung kind of Jiraiya.

Naruto gasped and sat on the ground without an image, letting his pants get dirt on them.

"It's just a beginner to get so much strength. Natural energy, what a wonderful power, Grandpa Immortal. I feel like I've been reborn. ”

Naruto looked at the palms of his dirty hands, slightly stretched and clenched, and had a gut feeling that he could now smash the earth open with a single punch.

Every factor in his body seemed to be cheering, making him feel a sense of comfort that he had never felt before.

Naruto knows that this is a powerful force that brings joy and security!

With this power, he is qualified to go after Sasuke and Kakashi and bring them back to Konoha.

Fukasaku Immortal looked at Naruto approvingly, as an immortal who had lived for eight hundred years, it knew Naruto's state of mind very well at the moment.

The change of mentality caused by the acquisition of strong power is something that every strong person will inevitably experience in the process of growing up.

This is the foundation on which self-confidence is built.

Naruto is undergoing a transformation in this process at this time, and in time, whether he can become the prophetic son of the Toad Immortal who leads the ninja world, Fukasaku Immortal is not 100% sure, but he can definitely become a famous ninja.

"Little Naruto, you just need to remember this feeling now. With the learning progress you have shown, it is only a matter of time before you fully master the immortal arts. There are not many steps left in the next steps, further improve the use of natural energy, and then you can try to cultivate immortal arts. When you learn the immortal arts, you will have another understanding of your perception of power. ”

Fukasaku Immortal laughed.

"I know, Grandpa Immortal, I will also show two hundred percent of my enthusiasm to cultivate seriously in the future!"

Naruto clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

Fukasaku Immortal smiled and said nothing, although the time contact was not long, only a little more than a month, but it was enough for it to have a deep understanding of Naruto.

At this moment, a summoning frog jumped up from a distance and came to the front of Fukasaku Immortal.

"Elder, the Great Master told you and Naruto to come over."

"I know, I'll be right away."

Fukasaku Immortal nodded, then looked at Naruto:

"Little Naruto, let's stop cultivating for the time being, the big master seems to have a new arrangement."

"Big toad immortals?"

Naruto blinked in confusion.

During the days of cultivation in Miaomu Mountain, he had seen the Great Toad Immortal only a handful of times.

But every time I meet, I have a wonderful feeling of knowing the toad immortal who I once had, as if I was familiar with each other somewhere.

However, according to Fukasaku Immortals, the Great Toad Immortal is the ancestor of Myoki Mountain, an ancient immortal who existed in the world a thousand years ago.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for me to be familiar with the other party.

This is exactly what Naruto felt incredible.

Is it because of 'prophecy'?

In the dream of the big toad immortal, I got in touch with it?

Regardless, Naruto considered the Great Toad Immortal to be an incredible, wonderful being that transcended common sense.

After a short rest, Fukasaku Immortal led Naruto to the temple in the depths.

If there is no leadership from the presence of elders, even the huge toads of Miaomu Mountain who are brave and good at fighting are not qualified to meet the big toad immortals, and they will be ruthlessly expelled by this group of guards.

The only people who can freely enter and leave this kind of place are the two great immortals, and Naruto, who is the son of the prophecy of Myoki Mountain.

"That, Grandpa Immortal, I've always wanted to ask, there are so many large toads here, and there are no less than ten of them I've seen. I thought that large toads like Toad Boss had always been rare. There is also the Iwajuku toad guarding the gate, which feels like a mountain walking. ”

On the way to the main hall of the temple, Naruto looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly accosted Fukasaku Immortal.

Fukasaku Immortal smiled: "This is all the accumulation of the heritage of Miaomu Mountain over the years, just like the Konoha Village where you are. When the village was first built, there were very few shinobi as the backbone, but as time went on, the number of shinobi continued to increase. Myogisan has been passed down for thousands of years, and although most of the toads have died over time and are buried in the mausoleum on the mountain behind the temple, some have survived hundreds of years ago and are still alive today. ”

Hundreds of years...... The corners of Naruto's mouth twitched.

I always feel that Miaomushan's concept of time is not on the same level as human concept of time.

Even he couldn't imagine what it would be like to survive for hundreds of years.

And it's not just large toads, there are also some very small toads in Miaomu Mountain, but they have special abilities.

For example, a toad that can fly, a toad that can use enchantment, a toad that has the ability to perceive, and a toad that has the ability to seal.

The derivation of abilities is strange and dizzying.

According to Fukasaku Immortals, the strength of these toads with special abilities is not necessarily worse than that of large toads, but the difference is only in destructive power.

Among them, the most powerful are those large toads with special abilities, whether it is destructive power or ability characteristics, once the two are superimposed on each other, their combat power will show a straight upward trend.

One of the best among them is the Iwajuku toad of Myoki Mountain.

It is extremely large, and it eats giant beasts as a daily staple.

Even the intestines inside are like a labyrinth, which can accommodate a group of ninjas to fight in it, and it does not seem crowded and clogged.

It is said to be caused by an extremely powerful enchantment.

It can be seen that this huge rock toad is a huge toad with enchantment ability.

There are many similar toads.

The deeper he went, the more Naruto felt that there were too many incredible places in Myoki Mountain.

Perhaps this is where the true power of the Holy Land lies.

In his thoughts, Naruto followed Fukasaku to the temple's halls.

In the hall, not surprisingly, the wife of Fukasaku Immortal, Shima Immortal, is also here.

"You two are finally here, how is it, little Naruto, are you used to living in Myoki Mountain?"

The Shima Immortal jumped up and asked.

"I'm almost used to it."

Except for food. Naruto added this sentence in his heart.

Mt. Myoki is good at everything, but only the food is the one that makes Naruto shy away.

"That's good, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't worry about immortal arts, it's a matter of time before you learn it with your talents. The so-called child of prophecy may just be a foolish dream of the old thing. ”

Shima Sento comforted Naruto and said.

"Ahem."

The Fukasaku Immortal coughed, the eldest master is still here, how can he talk like this?

For the communication below, the big toad immortal who had woken up naturally listened to it, but it was not angry at the disrespect of the Zhima immortal.

After all, he is an elder of Miaomu Mountain, and this ridicule is just a concoction in life.

"You're here, Naruto."

The voice of the big toad immortal sounded a little trembling, giving people a feeling of even older.

The Fukasaku Immortals and Shima Immortals, who noticed this, couldn't help but show a worried look in their eyes, and then hid.

As a living fossil of Miaomu Mountain, if there is any accident with the big toad immortal, it is not a good thing for Miaomu Mountain.

In the world of psychic beasts, although the competition is not as good as that of humans, they also have the relationship between friend and foe.

In addition to the three holy places, there are also other groups of psychic beasts.

Because it is too powerful, it will always be coveted by other intelligent psychic beasts.

Even in the Holy Land, except for a neutral Wet Bone Forest, the Dragon Earth Cave and Myoki Mountain have always been unpleasant to each other.

Over the millennium, a lot of grievances have been accumulated.

That White Snake Immortal is even more ruthless, once he learns that the Great Toad Immortal has an accident, it is inevitable that there will be some different thoughts.

If you want to fight against monsters of the level of the White Snake Immortal, you must have an existence of the same level.

Naruto stepped forward in a daze, not knowing what was the matter with the Great Toad Immortal calling him over.

"I just had a dream."

This sentence was said not only to Naruto, but also to the two immortals, Fukasaku and Shima.

Dream?

The one person and two toads present were all stunned.

Although the Zhima Immortal often ridiculed the Great Toad Immortal as an old fool, it also knew that some of the special 'dreams' of the Great Toad Immortal were not false constructions, but derivatives of immortal abilities.

So, what kind of dream is it? Is it a dream about me? ”

Naruto asked curiously.

Whether it is Jiraiya, the Great Toad Immortal, or the many toads of Myoki Mountain, they all seem to regard him as the so-called son of prophecy who will take on the responsibility of saving the world in the future.

However, for such a future, Naruto was not doubting the abilities of the Great Toad Immortal, after all, as a thousand-year-old Immortal, he would definitely not cheat on this. Naruto doubts that his own strength, can he really save the world and guide humanity?

With cloudy eyes open, the chapped lips of the Great Toad Immortal showed a kind smile.

"Naruto, you come here, I have something for you."

"Huh?"

Naruto was stunned.

"Little Naruto, let's go over."

Fukasaku Sento looked at Naruto encouragingly.

"Oh, oh, okay."

Naruto froze for a moment and walked forward.

When he walked up to the Great Toad Immortal, he raised his head and looked at the huge body of the Great Toad Immortal, and he had only one feeling: It's so big!

Especially when you look at it up close, the stronger the feeling.

I saw the Great Toad Immortal open its mouth, and a shining talisman floated out of its mouth, and then slowly landed until it landed in Naruto's hand.

"It's ......"

Naruto stared blankly at the talisman in his hand, and the word 'immortal' on it was extremely conspicuous.

"Great Master, why did you give the immortal talisman to Naruto, in this case, your body ......"

The Fukasaku Immortal and the Zhima Immortal jumped up anxiously and looked at the Great Toad Immortal in confusion.

"Immortal talismans?"

Naruto had heard of this kind of thing for the first time.

Fukasaku Immortal glanced at Naruto in a complicated manner, unable to believe that the Great Toad Immortal would attach such importance to a human being.

Child of Prophecy, what is that for the Great Toad Immortal?

The Fukasaku Immortal and the Shima Immortal were only dazed and shocked in their hearts, unable to understand the motives of the Great Toad Immortal.

Fukasaku Immortal explained: "The Great Master's body has long been aging, and the Immortal Talisman can delay such symptoms and ensure that the Great Master's body is continuously provided with vitality. The important thing is not only that, this immortal talisman is the masterpiece of Miaomu Mountain, as long as you understand the power in it, you can understand the true immortal art of Miaomu Mountain...... It can even bring the dead back to life. ”

Back!

Naruto was taken aback.

No matter how dull your head is, you still know that this thing is priceless.

"Big toad immortal, this, this thing is really valuable, you better take it back."

Naruto hurriedly tried to shake off the immortal talisman in his hand.

This is the life of the Great Toad Immortal, and it is also a treasure that can bring people back to life, and Naruto feels ashamed to master such a treasure.

The Great Toad Immortal smiled slowly, "I don't need this kind of thing anymore, so I'll leave it to you, Naruto." In this way, it is not in vain that you and I get acquainted. ”

"Why?"

Naruto asked the question, and his blue eyes were full of confusion and complexity.

A look of remembrance appeared on the face of the big toad immortal.

"A thousand years ago, I met Yu Yi and taught him immortal arts, and became a teacher and friend. In my dreams, he would be the hero who saved the ninja world, and he succeeded in doing so, defeating his mother Kaguya, inaugurating the ninja sect, bringing new hope to the land, and spreading the truth of chakra to the world. That's why the world respectfully calls him the Six Realms Immortal. ”

Naruto listened to the rumors in shock.

"Feather coat is my original 'Tao'."

"Dao?"

"I am the same as the Slug Immortal in the Wet Bone Forest and the White Snake Immortal in the Dragon Earth Cave, I am the first earth creature to come into contact with immortal art and comprehend the extreme. Immortal arts, or fairy roads, are exactly what I have been chasing all my life, and I want to see what kind of scenery the end of that immortal art is......"

Whether it was Naruto or the two immortals, they all looked at the big toad immortal in a daze.

Road?

The end of immortality?

Scenery?

"In the words of the immortals, it is me, Feather Coat, and Naruto, there are inseparable causes in the long river of fate. This kind of karma will become a connection that transcends time and space. Just like you and I meet for the first time, we will feel familiar with each other, like old friends who have been reunited for a long time. ”

“……”

Naruto blinked incomprehensibly and looked up at the Great Toad Immortal.

"Everything has a beginning and an end, and my first 'dream' began with Feather Cloak and will eventually end with you. What is immortal art, I have been seeking all my life, and 'dream' is the way for me to verify the immortal way. Asamito said, it's okay to die at night, Naruto ...... You are the final destination of my immortal path. ”

A calm and warm voice sounded in the main hall, and the tone of the big toad immortal was filled with deep regret, and his cloudy eyes looked out of the hall, as if he saw the blood that was about to envelop Miaomu Mountain...... It is infecting this tranquil pure land.

At this time, the immortal talisman turned into light in Naruto's hands, melting into his flesh and blood, and in an instant, Naruto felt a huge force in his body, and the chakra ran more smoothly in his body, and his ability to sense the outside world also became keen.

Naruto knew that it was because of the Nine-Tails' ability to disrupt him, which began to decline continuously, causing his chakra operation to return to its normal state.

Naruto could vaguely see that the nine-tailed demon fox in the cage was roaring in anger, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with this new 'tenant'.

This bastard little imp, why do you always stuff some strange things into your body! The Nine-Tails looked at his already extremely narrow living space, shrinking again, and couldn't help but grin fiercely, and Naruto's mind was gone.

"The rest of the road is up to you, Naruto."

The Great Toad Immortal looked at Naruto with a loving smile in his eyes.

Naruto was still confused, but Fukasaku Immortal and Shima Immortal felt that something was wrong, how did they feel that the Great Toad Immortal was explaining what was going on?

Just as Fukasaku was about to ask something, a faint golden glow began to float in the hall, like fireflies in the night, shining with a strange light.

Then, this golden fluorescence became more and more intense, and with a bang, in the roar of the earth, a pillar of golden light that soared into the sky and went straight into the clouds, sweeping away the clouds.

The entire hall was in this golden pillar of light, and as a large number of immortal chakras erupted from the ground, the golden pillar of light rapidly expanded outward, spreading at an extremely exaggerated speed, until it wrapped the entire temple, and then barely stopped.

The toad of Miaomu Mountain looked at the pillar of light that suddenly appeared, and they were all stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Why did the immortal chakra contained in the immortal soil of Miaomu Mountain suddenly go berserk at this time?

"It's not good, this is the magic circle in the immortal land that has been unlocked! Sir—"

The Fukasaku Immortal looked at the Great Toad Immortal in horror, completely unaware of what was going on, why he had to unlock the seal of the immortal soil at this time.

This is an enchantment formation that will only be activated when Miaomu Mountain encounters an existential crisis.

It is the ultimate means to protect Mt. Myoki!

However, before he could verify with the Great Toad Immortal, outside the hall, an extremely vicious and cold Immortal Chakra suddenly shrouded the sky above Miaomu Mountain, and the huge Immortal Chakra guided by the Great Toad Immortal attacked each other, and the sky was buzzing and trembling.

The mountain burst, and countless toads didn't have time to scream before they turned into blood mist and drifted away.

In the dust and smoke with the smell of blood, a white snake that is bigger than a mountain looms in the smoke and dust.

The hideous blood mouth spits out the tongue, and the white snake looks down on the fresh life that lives in the Miaomu Mountain with a cold-blooded gaze.

"Toad Pill, hurry up and get out and die, let the old body send you on your last ride!"

Looking at the giant white snake that suddenly appeared in Miaomu Mountain and roared loudly at the void, both the Fukasaku Immortal and the Shima Immortal turned pale.

"White Snake Immortal!?"
