"Oh, little Jiraiya, calling you to Mt. Myoboku so late should not disturb your date with the girl, right?"

At Mt. Miaomu, Shima Sennin put down his hands, looked at Jiraiya who appeared confused in the white smoke, and asked carelessly.

"Well, I'm not dating a girl anymore..." Jiraiya's old face, which was already full of alcohol, suddenly turned a lot redder. He coughed twice and looked around and said:

"No, let's not talk about those trivial things. Shima Sennin, is there something urgent that you need to inform me about? I actually have to trouble you to summon me directly using the technique of reverse channeling..."

"Well, it's nothing serious. It's just that the Great Toad Immortal had another unclear dream and felt it necessary to tell you about the new content of the dream as soon as possible."

Shima Sennin jumped onto Jiraiya's shoulders, and then immediately frowned because he smelled of alcohol. He squatted on his shoulders and scolded Jiraiya harshly:

"Little Jiraiya, I have no objection to the lifestyle you choose, but if you keep drinking like this in the middle of the night, you will soon be as old as the old Toad Sage, right? Not yet.

As a married person, you probably don’t want to see yourself become a bad old man that no one likes, right?”

"Ahem, I know Shima Sennin, I just encountered some troublesome things today, so I thought of drinking to drown my sorrows... Just let me go for a while, okay?"

Jiraiya repeatedly begged for mercy to the sword-mouthed Shima Sennin, and successfully made him sigh and stop preaching. Then Jiraiya followed the route he had taken many times and came to the temple where the Great Toad Sage lived.

Here, I met the ancient sage who has existed since the time of the Sage of Six Paths.

"Big Toad Immortal, do you have any new prophecies to tell me?"

"Who is coming...?"

The Great Toad Immortal slowly put down the wine bottle in his hand and asked while burping.

"It's little Jiraiya, you old Hutu who is so sleepy that you can hardly distinguish between reality and dreams!" Shima Sennin shouted dissatisfied to Big Toad Sento, "Don't always be here every time

Pretend to be the same fool in front of others! Didn't you ask me to find little Jiraiya as soon as you woke up? Hurry up and finish what you want to say!"

"Hohoho, Shima, you are still so impatient..."

The big orange toad sage shook his head, and slowly opened his yellow eyes that had been gazing at the world. He looked at the solemn and serious Jiraiya, and asked with a peaceful smile:

"Jiraiya...you should have met the child White Snake chose, right?"

"Apart from prejudices and positions, do you think that compared to the two children of prophecy you have found, he is actually more like a person who can completely change the world of ninjas?"

"You really gave me a question that I didn't know how to answer at the very beginning, Great Toad Immortal."

Jiraiya sat down cross-legged in front of the Great Toad Immortal Seat, sighed, and said with a troubled expression:

"Nagato and Minato are both excellent ninjas with valuable qualities. They are not lacking in gentleness towards their companions, but also have valuable empathy towards other people. Their talents are so outstanding that they can make the geniuses around them pale in front of them.

…

If it is up to them to change the ninja world, I believe that the day when people understand each other will eventually come successfully through their efforts."

"But Kaguya Rei is different from them."

Having said this, Jiraiya, who had been stabbed in the heart by Kaguya Rei just now, looked at his hands and murmured to himself:

"That boy...I always feel that he is not a ninja, but a strange being with other ways of thinking that are different from ninjas."

"Compared with Nagato who has just started to pursue the dream of peace that he and Yahiko share, he is still improving his ideas bit by bit, and has witnessed with his own eyes the many tragedies that are bound to happen under the ninja system, but he has not yet figured out what to do.

How to change Minato? Rei Kaguya, who is obviously the youngest among the three and has the least life experience, has a more mature and firm mind than all of them."

"If he is the son of the prophecy who brought changes to the world as you said, I am really worried about whether there is still a place for ninjas in the new world he built."

"Even I can't predict this problem."

The Great Toad Immortal picked up the wine bottle and took another sip, then slowly said to Jiraiya:

"Jiraiya, you should remember that in the last dream I conveyed to you, the future direction and the identity of the prophecy's son were relatively clear and definite..."

Jiraiya nodded.

"But this time, after Kaguya Rei began to dance on the stage of history, the future I dreamed about became extremely chaotic."

"The existence of the child of prophecy has become fragmented, and the future direction has also been shrouded in thick fog. The pictures of the future that were once foreseen have changed one after another. I can't even make any predictions about the future of the child named Kaguya Rei.

, even though he is already the unique moon of this era, guarded by shining stars."

"Even you can't predict his future and destiny?" Jiraiya showed a very surprised expression, "Then, why did you specially call me here today?"

"Don't worry, Jiraiya." The Great Toad Sage smiled kindly, "Although I can't see the future shrouded by the fog around Kaguya Rei, I can see another possibility.

s future."

"The future under another possibility?"

Jiraiya repeated what the Great Toad Sage had said, frowning in confusion.

"What does this mean?"

"The girl with white eyes will come side by side with the hero who knows the past and the future. They will bring the possibility to clarify and anchor the future, but where exactly this possibility will be directed by the existing power is completely unclear.

Uncharted territory.”

The Great Toad Sage narrowed his eyes, remaining half awake and half dreaming, and spoke such a prophecy in an ethereal and unpredictable tone. Then he returned to normal and spoke in harmony to Jiraiya who looked thoughtful.

said:

"Wait and have hope, Jiraiya... Soon, you will encounter new possibilities, meet them, talk to them, and walk side by side with them. I hope you can finally find the answer in your mind,

Make a choice you won’t regret.”

As soon as the words fell, the scene around Jiraiya began to change rapidly again. When he recovered from his slight absence, he had returned to the position he was in before being reversely channeled.

Kaguya Rei, who was sitting opposite him and chatting and laughing with him, had disappeared. Only a few coins used to pay for the drinks were left on the table. Looking at this scene, Jiraiya closed his eyes and took a deep breath slowly.

.

The future and destiny molded by confusion and chaos, the heroes who know the past and the future, the possibility of clarifying and anchoring the future...

"Hey, why do you always tell such obscure prophecies to simple-minded fools like me who don't understand people's hearts? Really, even the mood of drinking a little wine is completely forgotten.

It’s messed up.”
