Konoha, inside the Hokage's mansion

Ape Feiri sat in the meditation room, and the shadow of the candle reflected on his old face, making the aging on his face particularly obvious.

He had been sitting here for three hours, but he still couldn't calm down, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Is there any news from ahead?"

Ape Fei Ri Slash's voice sounded a little hoarse.

"Not yet, sir."

The dark part outside the door replied respectfully.

There was silence in the room, and suddenly, the grille door was opened, and Ape Fei Ri Slash no longer had the luxury of expecting the meditation room to do anything to him, he tightened his clothes to make himself warmer in this cold season, and then walked towards the innermost room of the mansion.

This room doesn't look conspicuous, but the protection around it is no worse than that of the ape.

"Adult"

The four guards of the dark department respectfully gave way after confirming the identity of Sarutobi Richo, and Sarutobi pushed open the door with a kind smile on his face.

"Naruto, grandpa is here."

Little Naruto stretched out his fleshy arms in the cradle, looked at the bedbell above his head and squeaked in laughter, heard the sound of ape flying and slashing, turned his head to look at the other party, and stretched his hand high.

"Hug"

Sarutobi laughed and picked Naruto up and began to tease the adorable child.

Gradually, the smile on his face froze, and then slowly converged.

Looking at Naruto with a cute smile, Sarutobi touched the seal on Naruto's navel and muttered, "Mizuto, you won't blame me, right?"

——

Miaomu Mountain, even if it is cold outside, but it is still warm like spring here, the warm sun shines in this lush secret land, all kinds of trees that are rare to see outside can be seen here, and the toad immortals of different shapes lie leisurely by the rock pond, enjoying this beautiful day.

It's a paradise that stands still in the face of war in the outside world, just as it did a hundred years ago.

The flesh-and-blood self also seems out of place here.

At the moment of coming to Miaomu Mountain, the tense thread in his mind was finally broken, which made Jiraiya pass out directly.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in front of the Great Toad Immortal.

Jiraiya sat up suddenly, and when he saw the big toad immortal, he immediately said anxiously: "Great toad immortal, I want to go back to Konoha!" ”

He now needs to send the news of the collapse of the coalition back to the village immediately, otherwise God knows if the ignorant village will be seized by Hoshino Mu and cause a catastrophe.

"Jiraiya"

The big toad immortal sat on a huge stone seat, and the word 'immortal' under his feet was simple and elegant, revealing the heaviness of the years.

He leaned on it, his body was lazy, his wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes, and he looked at Jiraiya below and said, "With your current physical condition, you can't change anything if you go back." ”

"But at least I can bring the news back."

Jiraiya insisted.

And then everyone waits desperately for defeat? Don't get carried away by anger and fear. ”

The Great Toad Immortal said that the eyes of the ancient well Wubo looked down at Jiraiya: "Konoha can't rely on you alone, there are many powerful ninjas who can help you." ”

Jiraiya shook his head, this time is different from the past, Konoha is no longer the first ninja village that used to be full of talents, otherwise it wouldn't

Jiraiya looked at his empty left calf, and his face was covered with gloom.

The big toad immortal seemed to see Jiraiya's concern, and he said to the toad next to him, "Go ahead, bring the things." ”

Toad Zhong's face hesitated, but he still listened to the words of the big toad immortal, nodded, and turned around and walked inside.

When he reappeared, he held a brocade box in his hand and solemnly handed it to Jiraiya.

Zilai also took the brocade box, and after opening it, Rao was taken aback by his mental fortitude.

"This immortal talisman!"

Jilai also looked at the big toad immortal in surprise, and there were countless questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but in the end he just looked at the other party and waited for the other party to take the initiative to explain to him.

"The last one, Jiraiya, this is also the last contribution that Miaomu Mountain made for you. You have the responsibility of saving the world on your shoulders, and it is up to you whether the prophesied vision can be stopped or not. ”

Hearing this, Jiraiya's face suddenly struggled a little, his lips pursed, and finally he asked, "Immortal, did you say that Hoshino Maki would be the son of prophecy?" ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, after fighting it himself, he knew that he was not the opponent of the other party, and even he didn't think that anyone in Konoha or Yun Shinobi was his opponent.

As for the other ninja villages, there is only one Hanzo, and with the development of the ninja school and the major ninja villages, it is impossible for that kind of peerless genius to appear in the small ninja village.

If no one is his opponent, then whether it is destruction or peace, the only person who will end the troubled times can only be Hoshino Maki.

Sure enough, people are cheap.

Some truths are useless just by words, and can only be convincing with fists.

Hoshino Maki spent a long time talking and dismissing him, and after cleaning up, Jiraiya himself began to recall Hoshino Makaki's previous words.

When the Great Toad Immortal heard this, he fell silent.

After a while, he shook his head and spoke slowly: "To be honest, I don't know, the picture in the prophecy is fragmented and blurry, but I know that it all has to do with you, and everything can only be found by you." ”

After listening to it, he also frowned.

The Great Toad Immortal said a lot, but it didn't solve his doubts.

If Hoshino Maki is the son of prophecy, will he bring destruction or peace?

If he is not, where is the true child of prophecy?

Also, what does it mean that the big toad immortal gave himself the talisman of the immortal?

Do you want to resurrect someone who can fight against Hoshino Maki, or will the Immortal Talisman guide you to find the Child of Prophecy?

One by one, the doubts turned into doubts and shrouded in Jiraiya's mind, and he wanted to continue to ask, but the big toad immortal was the first to speak.

"Jiraiya, you should go back."

Before he could react, the weightlessness had already wrapped him, and by the time he stabilized his body again, the man was already standing in the forest not far from Konoha.

Jiraiya pursed his lips, patted the immortal talisman in his arms, and lightly jumped in the direction of the village.

"Jiraiya-sama!"

The guards of the village couldn't help but cry out when they saw Jiraiya, especially when he was dressed in tattered clothes.

This sound also attracted the attention of the people around the entrance of the village, and everyone looked out, looking at Jiraiya like this, and then at the empty road behind him, almost at the same time, everyone realized what was happening, and some of the women and children who went to the battlefield even fainted directly.

The originally clear sky suddenly drifted over Konoha and a huge dark cloud shrouded the sky, and countless people looked up at the sky, their hearts full of despair.
