"Kakashi, what are you looking at?"
Inside the training grounds of Konoha Village, Kakashi, who was being chased by Might Guy and challenged to a duel, suddenly looked up at the sky, almost causing Guy to bump into him.
"It's nothing, I just feel that the moon's lighting and shadows are a bit off."
It was already evening, the sunlight was fading, and the faint moon shadow was slowly appearing.
Kakashi carefully observed the pale white image of the moon and found that there was indeed nothing there, but he had felt that the moon image was fluctuating and disordered.
"Oh ho, is that so? As expected of my nemesis, he can even observe the moon while training."
Waaaaah!
Might Guy covered his face with one hand and cried, while giving Kakashi a thumbs-up with the other. His bright white teeth and exaggerated body language made Kakashi speechless, and he just wanted to stay far away from him and pretend he didn't know him.
Not only Kakashi, but many people in the ninja world with keen senses and good eyesight felt that the moon looked a bit strange today, but they couldn't figure out what it was, so they could only put their doubts aside.
Only Black Zetsu, who was on his way to the Land of Rain, stared intently at the moon, muttering to himself.
What exactly happened on the moon? Did the descendant of Hamura Otsutsuki cause some trouble, or is it that Mommy is about to escape?
After a long while, seeing that the moon had not changed, Black Zetsu lowered his head sadly and regretfully, but soon he cheered up again.
No matter what, Mom, I will definitely get you out. I've been planning this for so many years, and I've finally gathered most of the necessary elements. As long as I keep going, I'm sure I'll succeed.
After encouraging himself, Black Zetsu continued his journey towards the Land of Rain, as he still needed to deliver information to Nagato.
At roughly the same time, in a tavern in a city in the Land of Fire, Jiraiya, wearing a headband with the character "oil" on it, was laughing heartily with a scantily clad, alluring woman in his arms.
"Hahaha, I am a sage from Mount Myōboku, not only a man of great literary talent but also incredibly powerful..."
Jiraiya downed a cup of sake, his hands roaming over the beautiful woman's body, occasionally boasting about his heroic deeds.
In Jiraiya's account, he once shocked the entire ninja world with his formidable fighting power, and he was also a master of command. Under his leadership, his brothers defeated the invading enemies, who cried out in terror and fled in disarray.
His brilliant and decisive actions, along with his exceptionally handsome appearance, won the favor of many teammates. One of his teammates, a stunningly beautiful blonde female ninja, even cried and begged to marry him.
However, for the sake of peace in the ninja world, he chose to embark on a path to find a way to achieve peace throughout the world, and reluctantly rejected that teammate.
Having honed his skills through years of writing novels, even though his words sounded unrealistic, the plot was undeniably moving. The tavern girl in Jiraiya's arms and the other drinkers nearby listened with rapt attention, their sake even tasting sweeter.
"Is the teammate you're talking about Tsunade?"
Just as Jiraiya was speaking excitedly, a burst of chakra smoke exploded on the table in front of him, revealing a red-skinned toad wearing sunglasses.
Upon hearing Tsunade's name, Jiraiya was startled and immediately spat a large mouthful of wine onto the beautiful woman in his arms. The wine flowed down her deep, white cleavage, making her skin appear even smoother and fuller, which made Jiraiya's eyes widen and a lewd smile appear on his lips.
"Jiraiya, can't you see me?"
The red-skinned toad, unwilling to accept that its words had gone unanswered, jumped in front of Jiraiya and asked.
Jiraiya then looked away from the toad in front of him. "It's Kosuke. Is there something you need?"
"The Great Toad Immortal has awakened and has made a new prophecy. The two immortals sent me to inform you."
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then sobered up completely. He solemnly paid the bill, left the town, and found a secluded spot to stay. Soon, he was resurrected and summoned to Mount Myōboku.
Jiraiya firmly believed in the Toad Sage's prophecy and took it upon himself to find the Child of Prophecy. He had previously assumed his disciples were the Child of Prophecy, but they were all dead. Therefore, he continues his search throughout the ninja world. Will the Toad Sage provide a clearer clue this time?
As soon as they appeared on Mount Myōboku, two thin, old toads jumped over. They were none other than Fukasaku and Shima, the daily stewards of Mount Myōboku.
"Little Jiraiya, hurry up and come with us to see the Great Toad Sage, or he might forget about it!"
They rushed to the place where the Great Toad Sage was sleeping, and saw that the Great Toad Sage's eyelids were drooping, and he looked like he was about to fall asleep.
Jiraiya quickly went up and shouted, "Great Toad Sage!"
However, the giant toad sage did not react at all.
Seeing this, Shima jumped over and shouted, "Wake up, you old codger, Jiraiya has arrived."
That fierce aura made Jiraiya carefully take two steps back. "Master Shima, this doesn't seem quite right."
Seemingly awakened by the shouts, the giant toad sage slowly raised his eyelids and said, "You've finally arrived. Hmm, who's here?"
Shima, still as fierce as ever, continued shouting in front of the Toad Sage: "This is Jiraiya! Hurry up and recite your prophecy, or you'll forget it again!"
"Oh, little Jiraiya, I received some scenes from the future in my dream. It started with you taking on a blond-haired disciple who later played an important role in the ninja world. And then..."
As the Great Toad Sage spoke, his eyelids began to droop again. Jiraiya, anxious, stepped forward and shouted, "Great Toad Sage, what happened next?"
The Toad Sage's voice grew increasingly faint, as if it were coming from the heavens.
"Later, his figure gradually faded, and a boy with blue eyes appeared."
Um
That boy possesses terrifying power; his actions will influence the future of the entire ninja world, potentially bringing peace or endless destruction...
The toad sage's voice was intermittent and grew softer and softer as it spoke, its head drooping as if it were about to fall asleep completely.
"Wake up, Toad Master! Don't leave things unsaid, speak clearly first!"
Jiraiya, who was listening anxiously, wished he could just step forward and lift the toad sage's eyelids to get him to say more. Even the figure of the Child of Prophecy was blurred; how was he supposed to find someone with such an important matter based on just a few vague words?!
Seemingly startled by Jiraiya's shout, the Toad Sage shook his lowered head slightly and uttered some incomprehensible words while half asleep.
"The long-standing feud that has lasted for thousands of years is about to come to an end;"
Tracing back to the end of his bloodline, the boy who reversed the nature of his power has already seized the moon's radiance;
A strange life form that both exists and dies, whose hands can grasp the sun and moon...
Before he could finish his murmured murmur, the Toad Sage's head drooped, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep.
