In the crisp autumn season, the entire Fire Nation has begun to suffer from the invasion of cold rain, especially at night, which is even cooler.

Even so, Miaomu Mountain, which is like spring all year round, is still lush and green.

Jiraiya, who hadn't been here for a while, was brought to the big toad immortal, Toadmaru, after accepting the hospitality of the Shima Immortal and the Fukasaku Immortal with mixed feelings.

It seems that I didn't expect to meet Zilai at this time.,The elderly Toad Pill obviously doesn't have a good memory.,Plus often confuse the difference in the reality of "prophecy dreams".,So that there are always a lot of jokes in and out of the words.。

Of course, the Shima Immortals, Fukasaku Immortals, and Jiraiya who were present didn't dare to laugh.

Under the reminder of Fukasaku Immortal's coughing repeatedly, Toad Maru finally woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw someone coming.

"It's Xiao Jilai, I haven't seen you for a while, and you're a lot older!"

"The lifespan of human beings is not very long, at my age, my life is almost halfway through!"

"Yes! It always feels like it's just a moment, and then it's changed. ”

Toad Pill, who has been sleeping for a large part of the time, is really not sharp enough about the concept of time, but fortunately, this time he still remembers what happened when he called Jiraiya to come over.

"I called you this time to ask what is going on in the ninja world now, why is it that my dreams are always foggy, and many bizarre scenes are full of them, which makes me very uneasy."

"Uneasy? Isn't it...... Is the Child of Destiny in danger? During this time, I did neglect to look for ......"

"It's not about that, it's about ......"

The toad pill who was talking seemed to remember something, and he couldn't help but remember it, and he forgot about it for a while.

After a few minutes, Toadmaru came back to his senses before he continued:

"The more key people who are connected to the general trend of the ninja world, the clearer it is, and the more closely related to me and Myoki Mountain. The trajectory of the child of destiny is still clear, but the rest is a little uncertain, you know, what that means? ”

"Please advise!"

"There will be a great danger in Konoha Village, and we in Myoki Mountain will also be forced to get involved."

Prophecy of such things, which is connected to oneself, is always unclear.

Under normal circumstances, Toad Pill's prophecy dream realm rarely goes wrong, in addition to its own influence, there is also a situation that someone deliberately covers it up, and its strength is far stronger than Toad Pill.

Either way, it's not good news for Jiraiya.

"In the future, has it changed?"

Jiraiya asked tentatively, Toadmaru was silent, and it took a long time before he replied:

"The future depends on the choice of the child of destiny, and it doesn't matter if it changes or not. If the hero, who was destined to save this world, finally decides to destroy this world that dislikes him, then ...... It's going to be a catastrophe. ”

"This ...... Would the ninja world choose such a child of destiny? Isn't that not very good......"

"Xiao Jiraiya, you are mistaken, the ninja world and humans, as well as our Miaomu Mountain, the interests may not be completely identical. It's like a field of crops that have been growing rice, and now I'm tired of eating it, and I want to shovel it all and plant wheat. For the crops, it doesn't matter, but for the rice, it's a catastrophe. ”

"This ......"

Before, Jiraiya, who had never thought in this direction, was stunned for a while.

In fact, the direction that Zilai is good at is not this kind, and after figuring out the meaning of the words of the toad immortal for a long time, Zilai also suddenly realized,

"Ninja is rice, but what about Mt. Myoki?"

"It's barely a crucian carp in a rice field......"

Toadmaru said nonchalantly,

"It's all natives raised by the ninja world, and it's not good for everyone to change the wheat!"

However, for the ninja world, it doesn't make much difference whether the primate of all things is a human, a wild boar, or a bug.

For the Bigwood clan, it doesn't matter, as long as it can provide more natural energy.

Of course, it would be perfect to be able to refine rich chakras like humans, with physiological characteristics close to those of the Big Barrel Wood family, to withstand the implantation of "wedges", and to be transformed into a biological weapon called "White Jue".

To some extent, it is also luck that human beings can finally become the overlord of the ninja world.

Otsuki Kaguya chose humans as the main product of the "farm and ranch" of the ninja world, and other powerful races that are more powerful and advantageous can only compete for the remaining auxiliary ecological niches.

Although there is no Otsuki clan in charge of everything in the ninja world now, even Toadmaru hopes that one day will never come back.

But is that possible?

After all, the ninja is not real rice, and the toad of Myoki Mountain is not a rice field crucian carp, but an intelligent species with potential.

Although he was not smart enough to understand all the connotations of Toadmaru's words, he asked unconsciously:

"So who does the ninja world belong to? Which being has the ability to slaughter this world as a farm? ”

"Who knows!"

It's been a long time, and Toadmaru feels a little uncertain, whether it's the goddess of Mao or the six immortals, they all look like people he has seen in his previous life.

"Let's not mention these for the time being, Xiao Jilai, tell me, is there anything special happening in the ninja world right now?"

"Big deal? No, the Third Ninja War has been over for many years, and it has been more than three years since the Uchiha family was wiped out. Occasionally, the most vicious rebellion is exterminated, or conflict breaks out between small nations......"

Ziraiya, who was talking to himself, seemed to suddenly remember something,

"By the way, some time ago, Yun Ren and the Gushan family had a big fight, and many people died, Yun Ren seemed to have suffered a big loss, and then admitted defeat."

"There are a lot of conflicts between human beings."

I didn't hear anything special Toad Pill casually commented a few words, and after realizing something, he asked,

"The Gushan family? Which ancient cedar? ”

"Except for the Fire Nation Vice Two, there is no other ancient cedar in the ninja world that can compete head-on with one of the five great ninja villages, right?"

"It's them...... The offspring! The Ping clan, who was entrenched in Haidong and occupied the land of ointment, is it now called the Gushan family? ”

"It should be!"

When I was in ninja school, I hadn't heard much about history class, and I was really not familiar with ancient history, so I could only reluctantly answer based on hearsay.

"Now, is there anything special about the Gushan family?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary! The heirs of this generation of the Gusugi family are exceptionally good, with strong management ability and personal strength! Although most of the secular nobles are not good at force, it is normal to cultivate one or two super masters with the background of the Gushan family. What's more, this generation of young family governors has also received an orthodox ninja education in Konoha Village. ”

"That's it!"

Toad Maru, who didn't hear anything abnormal, was relieved, the descendants of "Momotaro" back then, all of them were the personal attendants of Otsuki Kaguya, and they were cronies among cronies, if it weren't for the special identity of Otsuki Yuroi and Otsuki Hamura, who were the biological sons of the "Goddess of Mao", they would be the rulers of the ninja world under one person and above ten thousand people.

Otsuki Kaguya has been sealed for more than a thousand years, will those people still fantasize about rescuing the "Goddess of Mao", recreating the order of that era, and continuing to sit firmly in the position of the master?

Probably not!

With the goddess of Mao, there is still a presence above their heads that oppresses them, and now, they are actually the most powerful people in the ninja world, and they don't need to find a god to offer to.

What's more, those people also don't have the ability to break the ultimate seal of the Divine Tree Realm's descent.

This can be confirmed by toad pills.

If it's not a descendant of "Momotaro", who is secretly making waves?

"Wait, you just said that the Uchiha was wiped out, what happened to the Thousand Hands and the Uzumaki?"

Toad Pill, who was a little slow to react, finally discovered the key to Jiraiya's words.

"The Uchiha family? Only two brothers were left dead on the surface, one of whom stayed in Konoha Village, and the other defected. There is gossip that there are survivors alive, but there is no evidence. Although there were many casualties in the war for many years, most of the clansmen integrated into the village and lived a low-key life. The Uzumaki family suffered a catastrophe decades ago, the clan was captured and killed, the country was ruined, and a few years ago, with the support of the Gushan family, the country was restored. They clash with Yun Ren to fight for control of the Vortex Country......"

"Tell me about the Uchiha family carefully......"

Next, Jirai also described in detail what he knew, the night of the Uchiha's extermination, and the causes and consequences were also mentioned.

Jiraiya said, Toadmaru just closed his eyes and listened silently, if it wasn't for a snort from time to time, he might be considered asleep.

Ten minutes later, Jiraiya, who had finished explaining, also stopped, and Toadmaru also opened his eyes and looked diagonally upwards blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You still have a connection with that Uchiha Itachi, do you have any news from him?"

"Not yet!"

"Contact him more and ask about that mysterious organization! Also, hurry up and find the Child of Destiny, I'...... There was a sense of foreboding. ”

"Dare to ask...... Where does the danger come from? ”

"I don't know, but the Child of Destiny can defeat all evil."

"Got it!"

Coming in a hurry this time, I discussed with the big toad immortal for so long, which made Jiraiya's mood a lot heavier.

The promise to find Orochimaru and bring him back to Konoha Village has not been fulfilled, and now there are even more troublesome things to deal with urgently.

"Let's go back to the village and discuss with the old man, there are some things that must be prepared in advance."

-----------------

More than a month later, the chill of early winter began to spread over most of the ninja continent, and the east coast of Siqi Island was still warm and the climate was pleasant.

The only thing is that in winter, the marine climate often rains a little bit at night, which is annoying.

On an uninhabited island more than 30 kilometers away from the main island, Gu Shanbushui, who had returned for a while, sat on the cliff overlooking the distant sea, and the rain around him was avoiding contact with him, and his clothes were not wet at all.

At the bottom of the cliff is the home of an oversized mermaid tribe.

It's a bit inappropriate to say it's a station, and it should be called an undersea fortress or a castle.

This is one of the important nodes of the submarine defense line of Gongwei Silty Island.

In the drizzle, the silt island, which could have seen a little shadow or mirage in the lake, was completely invisible.

However, in the eyes of Gu Shanbushui, where the sea and the sky meet, a huge tree trunk looms over the sky.

The trunks are thick and the canopy is luxuriant, swaying in the strong wind that comes from nowhere.

At the bottom of the trunk, wisps of roots plunged into the ground, and in the sight of the ancient sugi water, they pierced into the body of faith of the Kaibo owner, who symbolized the god of the river, and then branched out and spread towards the void.

At the end of the roots are individuals who have a direct connection with the ancient Shanbu water.

Wind Demon Lan, Hayashi Yuri, Shizuto, Terumi Ming, Kaguya-kun Maro and others are relatively strong, as well as relatively weak existences such as Mizuki, Shira, Yuhuo, Ranmaru, Kurama Yakumo, etc.

After all these years of training and support, it is finally time to give back the benefits.

The individual does not provide much power, but when a large group of people are mixed together, it is considerable.

At the same time, the devotees of the god of rivers spread throughout the land of fire, every time they pray, they will contribute wisps of tenacity and become nourishment for the seed of the sacred tree.

The power network that has taken so many years to build will become a part of the development and growth of the ancient Shanbushui planting the Divine Tree.

The vast majority of those affected are unconscious, because it has no effect on themselves, and only a very small number of individuals with particularly keen perception are slightly aware.

Kurama Yakumo was looking at the huge phantom in the distance in the darkness that he didn't know where, and Hayashi Yuri looked to the east, and after a few sneers, he stopped paying attention, and the relatively weak Terumi Ming was also a little irritable, but he didn't know what the reason was, so he had to give up.

The natural energy of the entire ninja world was gathered nearby as the influence of the Divine Tree Seed spread.

Originally, it was not a very big storm, but suddenly it set off a real wave.

In a luxurious mansion on Silki Island, Xiao Kagami and Xiao Si are sleeping, while Momiji is holding Xiao Hiiragi's hand and playing a game, and suddenly, both of them can't help but look out of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Bursts of rapid raindrops pounded on the windowpanes, startling both of them.

Not only that, but the familiar chakra in the distance also exuded strange fluctuations.

"It's my father, what are you doing, you don't take me to play."

The milky Hiiragi pointed outside and coquettishly to her mother.

"It's not playing, it's trying to practice. When Hiiragi grows up, she has to work as hard as her father and sister......"

"I don't come back when it rains! My sisters can't wait to fall asleep......"

When the two of them chattered, in the void beyond their sight, tiny shoots sank into the bodies of Momiji and the three children beside them, and then disappeared into the place where no one knew.

Jiraiya, thousands of kilometers away, quickly sensed the restlessness of natural energy, and his eyes also turned to the east.
