Konoha's Destiny Twins

"Jiraiya, you mean the Great Toad Sage said that Shimizu is the Child of Destiny who can bring changes to the ninja world." The Sandaime Hokage wondered, "But the Child of Destiny is not the child you saved in the Land of Rain? Or Watergate"

"The Great Toad Immortal did not say that Shimizu was the child of destiny." Jiraiya felt that he had to explain in detail. You must know that he was confused for a long time when he first heard this prophecy. "The prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal was a dream. And this dream is composed of broken fragments, and each fragment is not coherent or clear.”

"A Konoha ninja glowing with lightning has returned from the dead."

"With a sword in hand, he rode the waves and stared at the devastated land."

"He stood on a high platform again, being admired by thousands of people, and flowers were everywhere."

"No matter how many giant toads there are, the Immortal can't see clearly."

The Sandaime Hokage guessed: "Resurrection from the dead, thunder escape, water escape, if combined together, it may indeed refer to Qingshui."

"It can only be clear water." Jiraiya confirmed.

"Then this predicts that Qingshui will play a huge role in the war and eventually lead Konoha to victory."

"The Great Toad Sage didn't say that either. He only said that this ninja broke his own destiny, and the original river of time fluctuated violently because of his existence."

"Did the Great Toad Immortal explain the specific meaning of this sentence?"

"The only certainty is that Qingshui will have a huge impact on the people around him, which is why he is said to be a whirlpool of fate. As for whether this influence is good or bad, even the Great Toad Immortal doesn't know."

The Sandaime Hokage fell into deep thought and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the dream described by the Great Toad Sage, war and peace coexist in Qingshui at the same time. Can it be understood that Qingshui is the key to this war?"

"Or he can influence the future trend of this war."

Compared to the old man's heaviness, Jiraiya was much more relaxed: "The prophecy only has a beginning and fragmented scenes. I can't judge it, so I decided to pay more attention to Qingshui from now on."

"You want to accept him as your disciple?" The Sandaime Hokage raised his eyebrows and said slightly in surprise.

"To be honest, I don't have this plan at the moment." Jiraiya shook his head and said, "After all, I don't have the idea that he is the child of destiny."

"Let's observe for a while first before talking."

"Besides, things like the future are inherently variable and there is no guarantee. Moreover, according to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, it is my disciple who will become the ninja who will cause great changes in the future ninja world."

"How can he be qualified to be my disciple if he doesn't even get my approval?"

"The ninja that Toad Sage would dream about is definitely not an ordinary person. Even if he is not the child of destiny, he must have other profound meanings." The Sandaime Hokage suddenly added, "Madara gave him Hashirama cells."

"What?" Jiraiya's eyes almost fell to the ground. He was shocked and said, "The First Hokage Wood Release"

In the ninja world, some things only need a name to bring enough influence.

And Mu Dun is such an existence.

Even though Jiraiya had never seen the true face of "The Arrival of the Tree Realm", he could feel his admiration and yearning for the first Hokage from the few words the Sandaime Hokage once said.

You must know that the Sandaime Hokage is known as the strongest Hokage in the history of Konoha.

The best way to judge a person's strength is to see the strong person's attitude toward him.

Another objective fact is that Jiraiya himself has a very intuitive feeling about the strength of tailed beasts.

The first generation of Wood Release was a powerful secret technique that could press the tailed beast to the ground and rub it.

"But he still doesn't know how to escape."

"I knew it." Why is Mu Dun so easy to master? The little heart that Jiraiya originally held was put back in its original position.

"But his earth escape is already perfect, plus his water escape and thunder escape."

"Have you mastered the escape techniques of the three attributes?" Jiraiya pondered.

In my memory, there are really very few ninjas who have reached such a high level.

In addition to Orochimaru, there is also the middle-aged man in front of me

There seems to be no third party.

It takes at most three to five years from development to learning an escape technique of one attribute; but if you want to master it without decades of hard work and a certain amount of talent, this is simply wishful thinking.

Many ninjas can only master one type of escape technique in their lifetime.

And Qingshui is only in his early twenties.

"Shimizu's strength has probably surpassed Minato. I have carefully read all the mission reports he submitted to me and the battle process." The Sandaime Hokage concluded, "This is also an important reason why I let him take on the role of legion commander. Now the war between us and Sunagakure has entered a white-hot stage. It would be a pity if such a strong combat power is not used on the frontal battlefield."

"I admit that Shimizu is very strong, but to say that he surpassed old man Minato is an overstatement." Minato is the proud disciple of his "Crazy Ghost" Jiraiya, how could he be surpassed by Kosuke's apprentice?

nonexistent

"Shunshin Kiyomizu, this is what you told me back then, Jiraiya." The Sandaime Hokage picked up his favorite pipe, took a deep breath, and then smiled.

"Old man, that's just a title, it can't be counted."

"Ha ha."

""

I returned to this empty home again. I haven’t been back for nearly 2 months, and there is a layer of ash in the house.

However, Qingshui still lay down directly on his familiar wooden bed in a "big" shape.

"Even eating ashes is better than sleeping in the wild."

He relaxed and thought about the recent series of events: Teacher Kosuke was finally safe, Orochimaru successfully reunited with them, and then returned to Konoha together.

Satomi returned to her family to rest. According to Tsunade, her chakra meridians were not seriously injured and the injury could be healed in a few months.

Minato and Yoshimaru, as well as the three brats from Minato's class, were also safe and sound.

Especially Obito, this kid is said to have spread the word about his Sharingan as soon as he returned to the village. Even the old lady he once helped to cross the road knew about the fact that he had opened his eyes.

Qingshui couldn't help but wonder if this matter was now a household name in Konoha.

And the subordinates he saw when he went to the ANBU building to hand over work, those familiar masks

Everyone returned safely.

Just now, Qing Shui went to the inn to pick up the new weapon he had been thinking about.

The wind chakra sword that was commissioned to be made by the master of the Craftsman Country has finally arrived, and the flowers of the wait have really faded.

Hope it's worth the money.

By the way, the latest issue of Jiraiya's Roots of Shinobi has also been updated.

But Qing Shui didn't even unpack it and threw it into his storage room intact.

Let’s save Jiraiya’s novel for another time.
