Reborn Wind Shadow: Begins the Attack on the Fire Nation

As the scenery in front of them changed, in just a moment, Jiraiya and Minato appeared in Myoboku Mountain.

One of them had long been accustomed to the reverse summoning technique, and the other was a master of space-time ninjutsu, so naturally they did not feel any discomfort.

Jiraiya was already very familiar with Mount Myoboku, but it was Minato's first time to visit Mount Myoboku.

All I saw was a forest with huge plants growing everywhere. Various frogs and giant insects were resting on the vines and branches of the plants. In the distance, there was a huge waterfall flowing with something like oil, and many stone statues of toads stood beside it.

Just as Minato was marveling at the beauty of Mount Myoboku, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"You guys are here, little Jiraiya, Minato!"

"Mr. Fukasaku, long time no see."

Jiraiya looked out of tune, but Minato saluted politely.

"Greetings, Master Fukasaku!"

The short toad Fukasaku saw this and said something sarcastic.

"Little Jiraiya, you should study harder like your disciple. You are so distracted every day. No wonder you still can't master the perfect fairy technique."

After saying that, he directly controlled the big toad under his feet to turn around.

"Come with me, the master is waiting for you!"

"Big Toad Immortal!?"

Minato was stunned. Of course he knew the existence of the Toad Sage. It was said that he had existed for thousands of years and was the founder of Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya was also a little surprised.

"Big Toad Sage, what does he want from me and Minato?"

Fukasaku said with a serious expression.

"The master is dreaming again!"

"!!!"

Jiraiya was shocked and his expression became heavy, because the last time the Great Toad Sage had a dream was when he foresaw the Child of Prophecy. Minato had also heard Teacher Jiraiya talk about the Child of Prophecy, and the smart man immediately associated something with it.

So, the two followed in silence...

————————————————————

Soon, the two arrived at a huge palace.

The main hall was empty except for a huge stone chair as big as a hill placed at the top. On it sat a brown-skinned man wearing a hat, who looked very old, with a huge toad with the word "oil" written on it hanging around his neck. This was the ancestor of Myōboku Mountain: the Great Toad Sage.

Behind the Toad Throne, there was a row of scrolls that looked like a small mountain.

When Fukasaku brought Jiraiya and Minato here, the Great Toad Sage seemed to be taking a nap. It was only after Fukasaku's reminder that the Great Toad Sage slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, it's little Jiraiya, or your apprentice Minato!"

Jiraiya was surprised when the Great Toad Sage spoke, because in his impression, the Great Toad Sage had a poor memory, as if he had Alzheimer's disease, and often forgot his name. But this time, not only did he not forget him, he even knew Minato's name.

At this moment, Jiraiya suddenly felt something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Minato saluted politely.

"Namikaze Minato, I have met the Great Toad Sage!"

"what..."

The Great Toad Immortal's tone was still old and trembling.

"What an outstanding young man! I see in you the huge chakra that I miss so much..."

"!!!"

Minato was shocked and wanted to ask what was going on, but the Great Toad Sage had already ignored him and looked at Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya-chan, I asked Fukasaku-chan to bring you here to tell you something!"

While Jiraiya and Minato were both a little nervous, the Great Toad Sage told them his dream.

"The dream is gone!"

"!!!"

The big toad's four short words left Jiraiya stunned.

"What does it mean that the dream disappeared?"

The big toad immortal seemed to have fallen into dementia and stopped talking for a moment.

Seeing this, Fukasaku could only speak to Jiraiya on behalf of the Great Toad Sage.

"It's like this, little Jiraiya, do you remember the prophecy that the master once made about you?"

How could Jiraiya forget?

"But recently, the master had a dream again, but in the dream, all the dreams about you have disappeared."

Jiraiya was confused at this moment. The dream about him disappeared. What does that mean!?

However, Minato Namikaze on the side pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked Fukasaku.

"Master Fukasaku, does the Great Toad Sage mean that the future has changed?"

Now Jiraiya finally understood.

Unfortunately, Fukasaku shook his head.

"No... The master's dream does not necessarily mean that the future has changed, but one thing is certain, the future has become unpredictable, even the master can't see it clearly..."

"!!!"

At this moment, Jiraiya and Minato, who understood Fukasaku's meaning, fell into deep thought, and the entire hall became quiet.

After a long moment, Jiraiya took a deep breath and asked.

"The child of prophecy!?"

Fukasaku shook his head.

Jiraiya's pupils suddenly shrank. You know, he has been looking for the child of prophecy for the future for most of his life, but now, the Great Toad Sage told him that the child of prophecy no longer exists.

Minato said, seeing clearly.

"So is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

The one who answered was the great toad immortal who was in dementia, speaking leisurely.

"Well...from now on, the fate of the entire ninja world is in your hands."

After saying that, he fell asleep while yawning.

Upon seeing this, Fukasaku bowed to the sleeping Toad Sage, then left with the confused Jiraiya and the thoughtful Minato.

After returning to the forest, Jiraiya asked in confusion.

"What exactly is going on?"

Fukasaku also sighed and explained.

"I don't know either. This is what the master suddenly told me. That is, there are some unpredictable changes in our world!"

“Unpredictable!”

"That's right. As early as half a year ago, the master had already sensed it. However, because the change appeared too suddenly, even the master could not confirm it. But just last night, the change appeared again. The master finally confirmed that it was a huge energy different from chakra and natural energy. It is located in the west of your Fire Country!"

"The west!?"

Minato was stunned, then thought of something, and Jiraiya asked with a frown.

"Even the Great Toad Immortal can't sense the exact location?"

Fukasaku shook his head.

"Just like you who have never practiced fairy arts cannot sense natural energy, this new power, even if it is the entire Myoboku Mountain, only the master can sense it. Even Shijian and I can't sense it, but even the master can only sense it vaguely."

This made Jiraiya fall into deep thought.

Fortunately, when Fukasaku saw this, he also said something comforting.

"Don't worry, little Jiraiya, and Minato, just like what the master said just now, changes in the future are not necessarily bad things. Whether it is good or not, it ultimately depends on your own choice. Well, you should take a rest first. Your current state is not suitable for practicing immortal arts. I will come to you later."

"Ok!"

After Fukasaku left, Jiraiya looked at his disciple who had been frowning and had not said anything and asked.

"Minato, have you thought of something?"

Minato nodded and said to Jiraiya with bright eyes.

"Teacher Jiraiya, do you still remember what Elder Danzo said about not being able to sense the chakra in the body of the Fourth Kazekage? And the West..."

Jiraiya's pupils shrank instantly...
