Mayuri's card from Naruto

Chapter 98 Prophecy and Change

There were raindrops floating in the sky, and the whole place was filled with lush green that exuded the breath of life. The giant trees were towering, and their canopies blocked out the sun.

One huge stone toad statue after another is hidden among the giant trees.

The natural energy in the air is abundant and active. Here, ninjas can clearly sense the existence of natural energy.

This is Myoboku Mountain, one of the three sacred places for summoning beasts, and the home of the toad clan.

Since the history of the ninja world, the three sacred places for summoning beasts have always occupied a very important place in the legends of the ninja world.

In the historical books passed down orally, their existence is even longer than that of the tailed beasts and ninjas.

In every era of the Ninja World, there are powerful Ninjas who have signed contracts with the three sacred places of summoning beasts. They assist summoners in battle, and summoners occasionally work for the three sacred places.

Those who are the most outstanding and qualified among those who have signed the spiritual contract can ask the immortals in their holy land to learn immortal arts.

However, the process of learning fairy arts is full of huge risks. The toads turned into stone statues here and the stone statues of the ninjas under their feet are all losers who failed in practicing the fairy arts of Myoboku Mountain and were assimilated into stone statues by the power of nature.

"You're finally here, little Jiraiya."

With a bang, white mist rose up, and a white-haired ninja just landed on the ground in a daze, and then he heard a voice that sounded very familiar to him.

"Boss Fukasaku?"

Jiraiya, dressed in a Konoha Jonin uniform, with a Konoha forehead protector on his head and two distinct red lines on his face, lowered his gaze to a green toad with a white mustache in front of him.

"I'm sorry to call you here at this time. It seems there's another war over there, right?" The toad who was called the Boss Fukasaku said apologetically to Jiraiya.

"Yes, I'm in the Rain Country dealing with some urgent matters now, and I can't leave for too long." Jiraiya touched the back of his head and laughed.

"There's nothing I can do. The master has a new prophecy and wants to tell you about it." Fukasaku explained to Jiraiya while leading the way.

It was extremely fast, and could easily leap a long distance with just one vertical leap. Jiraiya followed closely behind it.

"A new prophecy? Is it about the child of prophecy?" Jiraiya subconsciously thought of the child of prophecy who could end the war and bring peace to the ninja world.

It seems that only this prophecy is related to him! Because according to the prophecy of the great toad sage, the person who will quell the Ninja World War and bring peace to the Ninja World in the future will become his disciple!

At present, among his disciples, Yahiko, Nagato, and Namikaze Minato are the most likely to be the children of prophecy who will quell the war and bring peace.

Being in the Land of Rain, he needs to learn more about Yahiko and Nagato's ideas during this time.

"No, it has nothing to do with the Child of Prophecy! But I don't know the details." Shenren Fukasaku shook his head: "The master is old and confused, and he can't stay awake for long every day.

Little Jiraiya, I think sometimes you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Some of the master's mysterious predictions always come true."

As they talked, they entered a magnificent hall.

Inside the hall, a huge, very old-looking toad was lying on a huge soft chair. It was so big that it had a hat on its head, and it was very close to the ceiling of the hall. On its chest hung a necklace with the word "oil" written on it. Jiraiya stood under it like a small insect.

Fukasaku Immortal used his hind legs to jump onto the armrest of the chair of the Great Toad Immortal in the hall. On the other side of the chair stood a toad of the same size, with a part of its head purple.

"Master, little Jiraiya is here too!" Fukasaku Sage shouted loudly to the big toad who was squinting his eyes and was in a hazy state, half asleep and half asleep.

The big toad seemed not to hear it and was still immersed in his strange state of sleepiness.

"Big Toad Sage, here I come!" Jiraiya also shouted loudly from below, and at the same time he did not forget to greet Shima Sage who had fashionable purple hair beside him.

"You old fool, little Jiraiya is here too!" Seeing that the Great Toad Sage still looked as if he didn't hear anything, the Shima Sage on the side immediately raised his eyebrows, and his loud voice rang out in the hall, apparently he was mobilizing the power of nature.

"Oh? Oh! Sorry, I almost fell asleep." The big toad immortal opened his eyes as if awakened, looked around blankly, and muttered without changing his posture.

"Little Jiraiya is here. Master, just tell me your predictions! I still have to go cook after I finish speaking. Little Jiraiya, please stay and try my new menu today!" Shima Sage continued to shout in a loud voice. When he said the last sentence, he glanced at Jiraiya below.

Although the old and frail Great Toad Sage now looked confused, Jiraiya did not show any disrespect, because all the predictions made by the Sage to him, except for the Child of Prophecy, had come true.

This made him believe in the immortal's prediction without any doubt, and he also respected the big toad immortal who made the prediction.

"Oh, there's a new prophecy, and Jiraiya..., what's your name?"

The Great Toad Sage suddenly lost his memory in the middle of his speech, causing Jiraiya and the two great sages, Fukasaku and Shima, to look helpless.

"This is little Jiraiya! The contractor of Mount Myoboku! Master, you have predicted some things for him!" Although Fukasaku Sage had a helpless look on his face, he still explained to the Great Toad Sage.

The Great Toad Immortal always seemed to like playing tricks like amnesia and dementia on them, so that now they all knew whether the other person was truly demented or just pretending.

"I remember now! It's little Jiraiya." The Great Toad Sage suddenly realized, "I asked you to come here because I need your help with something."

"Is it about the Child of Prophecy?" Jiraiya stepped forward and asked. In his mind, it seemed that only the Child of Prophecy was worthy of the Great Toad Sage rushing him here from the outside world.

"No, it has nothing to do with the Child of Prophecy." The Great Toad Immortal shook his head, "It's a new dream that I find a bit strange and bizarre."

"Strange and weird?" Jiraiya was stunned. He could not understand what the Great Toad Sage said.

"If you want to say something, just say it clearly! How can little Jiraiya understand if you say that?" Shima Sage said with disdain.

"The brutal war will breed great darkness, and the Pure Land will no longer be the only destination for souls.

Souls that cannot rest in peace will want to return to the real world in another form. They will bring new power to the ninja world, but they will also bring shock and a large number of deaths. "

The Toad Immortal's tone was weak, and his open eyelids slowly closed again while he spoke. When the last word fell, it seemed as if it was about to return to the half-asleep state.

"What do you mean by shock and death?" Jiraiya shouted loudly.

"It will affect the entire ninja world and cause death. No one can escape it. You must be prepared!" The voice of the Great Toad Sage began to fade. "Then what should I do? Who is the one who caused all this in the future? Is it good or bad for the future of the ninja world? Great Toad Sage, what do you want me to do?"

Jiraiya always has a natural sense of responsibility for such prophecies and tasks with a sense of mission. After listening to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, he felt that the other party would definitely give him some tasks. He needed to decide how to do it based on the other party's answer.

"I don't know." The voice of the Great Toad Immortal was still weak.

ha?
Not only Jiraiya, but also the two great sages Fukasaku and Shima beside him were all stunned. They obviously did not expect to get such an uncertain answer from the big toad sage.

“I can’t be sure whether its appearance is good or bad for the world, but its appearance will definitely shake the foundation of the ninja world and ninjas.

I just saw some images and passed them on to you in the form of prophecy. But you can go find a powerful medical ninja, he may be the root of everything. "

After the big toad immortal finished speaking, he began to snore slightly, and his belly began to rise and fall rhythmically. It was obvious that he had re-entered a dream.

A powerful medical ninja?
Jiraiya was stunned. The first person that came to his mind was a beautiful woman with a ponytail, a big heart, a gambler, bad luck, and creditors all over the ninja world.

One of the three ninjas of Konoha, the princess of the Senju, and the recognized medical expert in the ninja world - Princess Tsunade!

Could it be that Tsunade would research and create a monster that would shake the ninja world? If this happened to Orochimaru, it would be more credible, right?

Jiraiya wanted to ask something else, but the Great Toad Sage had already fallen into a dream and no longer responded to any questions from the outside.

"We've heard the prophecy, and little Jiraiya has finally come here, so why not have a simple meal together." Sage Shima jumped off the armrest of the chair, and together with Sage Fukasaku, they stood on Jiraiya's left and right shoulders respectively, inviting him.

"No, no, no, I have something urgent to do!" Jiraiya's thoughtful face disappeared instantly when he heard Shima Sennin's invitation, and a layer of blue appeared on it. He shook his head so fast that an afterimage appeared. He spoke in a very serious and solemn tone.

"That's such a pity! I have prepared a new banquet menu!" Shima Sennin was very sorry to hear that.

"Next time, definitely next time!" Jiraiya waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't take the master's prediction too seriously. What is going to happen will eventually happen." Fukasaku Sennin comforted Jiraiya.

"I know!" Jiraiya nodded, but he did not give up the idea of ​​investigating.

Whether it is Tsunade or other famous medical ninjas, Jiraiya plans to contact and inquire about them after returning to the ninja world.

He was now seriously thinking about who was the ninja who possessed superb medical ninjutsu.

Tsunade Hime.

Wandering witch.

There is also Shennong who treats ordinary people and ninjas without seeking wealth.

As one of the three ninjas who was good at collecting information, these three were the only ones he could remember.

Tsunade is also the one he is most familiar with and understands his partners and teammates.

The second is the wandering shrine maiden. She is very famous in the ninja world and one of the few female medical experts who can be compared with Tsunade in some aspects. She has disappeared from the ninja world for a long time, and there seems to be some secret behind it.

As for Shennong, it was purely because of his deeds that he was too prominent during the war. And now he seems to have appeared in the Rain Country.

Jiraiya had heard his name mentioned by the people of the Rain Country.

As long as the other party is indeed Shennong, it will not be difficult for Jiraiya to go back and investigate, follow the clues and make contact with him.

Among the three targets, Shennong seems to be the only one he can contact and find in a short time.

……

"Collect information about Shennong?" Yahiko looked at his teacher, a little confused.

"Don't you know Shennong?" Seeing Yahiko's confused face, Jiraiya frowned.

As the person who came to secretly contact the Akatsuki organization on behalf of Konoha, Jiraiya knew that his identity was very sensitive and could not be easily exposed to the eyes of the Rain Village. Otherwise, it might stimulate Hanzo to do something extreme.

He planned to stay in Akatsuki for a while, on the one hand, to be responsible for handling the cooperation between Konoha and Akatsuki, and on the other hand, to observe his three disciples and the Akatsuki organization they founded.

"Shennong?" A dull voice sounded behind Yahiko, and Kakuzu, dressed in a black robe of Akatsuki, raised his head from the account book of Akatsuki.

"Do you know him?" Jiraiya's gaze shifted to Kakuzu. Jiraiya had once had a few brief exchanges with this Takigakure renegade ninja who was carrying Kakuzu's scroll and claiming to be representing the Technical Development Department to manage finances. Although both sides were reserved, they both acknowledged each other's strength.

After confirming that the other party had no ill intentions, and was only honestly managing finances after coming here, and was quite good at finance, Jiraiya felt relieved.

"I've heard of his name. He's a very prestigious doctor who practices medicine for free everywhere. I once passed him by, but since he didn't have much of a bounty, I didn't do anything to him." Kakuzu thought about it seriously and gave his answer.

"Is he in the Rain Country? Teacher wants to find him?" Upon hearing this, Yahiko's liking for Shennong increased a lot, and he even wanted to let him join the Akatsuki organization.

After all, there are basically no medical ninjas in the Akatsuki organization now. If the other party joins, he can also guide Konan in medical ninjutsu.

……

It rained heavily.

Shennong, who was being talked about by Jiraiya and the others, was now looking at a monster-like body with a look of shock and greed.

It was a demon-like monster with long limbs, dark and hard skin, two curved ram-like horns on its head, and its face could not be seen clearly.

Because a cracked, pale bone mask covered the monster's face.
