Chapter 133: Unclear Future!

"Great Sage, what do you mean by saying that the future has changed?!"

Jiraiya asked anxiously.

"Hmm… Jiraiya, the child who had the potential to shape the future of the ninja world... is no longer under your tutelage..."

The Great Toad Sage took a sip from the wine bottle next to him and said.

"The Son of Prophecy...isn't my student anymore?!"

Jiraiya lowered his head, digesting the disbelieving news.

You must understand that he traversed the ninja world tirelessly, searching for the slightest hint to locate the chosen one, the son of prophecy.

He encountered a child with enchanting eyes, and for a moment, he believed that this child was the one foretold by the Great Toad Sage, destined to bring peace to the ninja world in the future.

It is regrettable, however, that fate dealt a cruel hand, and that child met an untimely demise.

In the end, he didn't even find a new apprentice, but the prophecy has changed?!

"Great Toad Sage, then... does the one who will bring peace to the ninja world still exist?"

"Oh it's Jiraiya, so you've returned~Oh, and yes, the one who has the power to reshape the future of the ninja world... possesses a pair of emerald green eyes... Phew~"

Because The Great Toad Sage has lived for thousands of years and has been sleeping all the time, he has a bad memory.

It is evident that Sage Shima's anger is directed towards a different target altogether.

However, Jiraiya did not feel anger. Even though the Son of the Prophecy was no longer under his guidance, hearing the Great Toad Sage reassured him that the destined individual would still emerge in due time. And that was enough for him.

'But, a person with a pair of emerald green eyes... Who could it be?'

At this time, Naruto's figure suddenly flashed in his mind. He remembered that when he and Naruto looked at each other, he saw that Naruto seemed to have a pair of emerald green eyes.

"Could it be Naruto..."

"Great Sage, don't sleep yet! Fukasaku is missing, can you find him? Is there a figure of Fukasaku in the future you see?!"

Shima and Fukasaku are the few toads on Mount Myōboku who can speak loudly to The Great Toad Sage.

At this moment, Shima, consumed by concern for Fukasaku's well-being, decided to speak directly without beating around the bush.

"Hey Jiraiya. When did you come back?"

"Great Sage!!"

"Hmm… When Fukasaku is back, remember to ask him to come and drink with me."

While talking, The Great Toad Sage fell asleep again.

"G..."

Just as Shima was about to speak, The Great Sage suddenly opened his eyes.

"By the way, Jiraiya, give the Summoning scroll to Naruto... Phew..."

"Give it to Naruto? Why? Great Sage?"

Jiraiya raised his head in bewilderment and gazed at the Great Sage with confusion. However, this time, even Sage Shima was unable to rouse him from his sleep.

"Shima-sama, we hear the Great Toad Sage. Lord Fukasaku will return to Mount Myōboku, so everything should be fine. Please, don't worry too much."

Jiraiya comforted.

"Well, at least knowing that he is safe will bring me some peace of mind. However, we don't know when he will return."

Shima sighed.

"By the way, the Naruto that the Great Sage mentioned earlier should be the child we encountered that day. He is indeed Minato's son, but unfortunately, he did not learn the arts of our Mount Myōboku."

Shima said with emotion.

Shima was shocked by Naruto's strength that day, especially his mastery of sage arts, surpassing Jiraiya and Minato.

And Shima also sensed the natural chakra in Naruto's body, which was even approaching their level in Mount Myōboku. It was uncertain whether he had already surpassed them.

She has only seen this kind of situation once, and that was Senju Hashirama who inherited the art of the Shikkotsu Forest.

"I didn't expect that in just a few years, he has surpassed his father and even surpassed you."

Shima remarked with a hint of surprise.

"Yes." Jiraiya said guiltily.

Everything that Naruto suffered in his childhood, although not his responsibility, he still blames himself for not being there for him as his father's teacher.

"It's just that the Great Toad Sage said he wanted me to hand over the Summoning scroll to Naruto. Is this intended to make Naruto the next descendant of Mount Myōboku? But... hasn't Naruto already mastered the inheritance of the Shikkotsu Forest?" ,Jiraiya pondered aloud, expressing his confusion.

So far, he hasn't seen anyone with the inheritance of the two art from two holy places. In other words, won't there be problems with the combination of the Sage arts of the two holy places in one person?

"Anyway, you should do what the Great Toad Sage said. I'll go home first. If Fukabasu comes back, it won't be good if he gets hungry."

Shima said and left Jiraiya alone.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jiraiya didn't stay long, and used the reverse Summoning technique to return to Konoha.

After they left, the long breathing stopped suddenly in the empty hall, and Toad opened his eyes.

"What the hell is going on...why the fragments of the future that I could see before suddenly can't be seen?"

The Great Sage picked up the wine bottle and took a sip slowly.

He had also heard the conversation between Jiraiya and Shima just now.

As for why the Summoning Scroll is given to Naruto?

In the very few clips he can see now, Naruto is surrounded by giant snakes and Katsuyu, but there is no one from Mount Myōboku.

The son of prophecy that The Great Sage saw before was Naruto, but because he couldn't tell, he only said that the son of prophecy would be Jiraiya's student. As a result, before Jiraiya's arrival today, the future had changed for unknown reasons.

But the key people have not changed, especially the giant snake and Katsuyu around Naruto. Doesn't it mean that he has obtained the inheritance of the other two holy places, as well as their Sage Art?

If Mount Myōboku wants to continue to develop, it cannot be suppressed by the other two holy places. Thus, it is better to give a favor to Naruto to obtain the inheritance of Mount Myōboku.

As for other things, such as Naruto's clearer future, The Great Sage can't see it, and the future of Ninja World is also blurred, but intuition tells him that this is not a bad thing. And since it has happened, there is no need to interfere.

After all, his intuition is very accurate. Otherwise he wouldn't have helped Sage of Six Paths, passed on his magic skills, and helped him seal Kaguya.

"Sigh... So sleepy. Let's go to sleep... hoo~"

The Great Sage drank another sip of wine and fell asleep. This time he was really asleep.

At the same time, Jiraiya, who returned to Konoha, found Naruto who was at home.

"Jiraiya-sama, how is it? Is there any news? Sorry, I didn't find anything here."

Naruto said regretfully to Jiraiya.

"It's okay, I've got news that Fukasaku-sama is fine for now, and Sungakure's Jinchūriki will be fine too."

"Ah? Where did you get the news from?"

Naruto frowned and asked, this matter was leaked? Impossible, only Orochimaru knew about it, so Jiraiya must have found Orochimaru.

But looking at Jiraiya's appearance, it seems that he didn't know that he was behind the scenes. That is to say, Orochimaru said a bit, but he didn't tell his secret which is good.

"I went back to Mount Myōboku and asked about Fukasaku-sama's safety. I have received the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage," Jiraiya explained. "By the way, the Great Toad Sage also wants me to give you the Summoning contract scroll of Mount Myōboku."

"The Great Sage?!"
