Chapter 546 Warning

In the depths of Mt. Miaomu, there is a paradise full of singing birds and flowers.

The natural energy in this space is generally richer than the outside world, and the concentration is similar to the wet bone forest that Baishi has been to.

Practicing fairy art here, or refining the natural energy of nature can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

There are big and small toads that can be seen everywhere, and the biggest one is as big as a hill, but it is slightly inferior to the Yansu big toad that guards the gate, but it is also a rare giant psychic beast.

The rest of the toads are generally the size of adult humans, or slightly larger.

Under the irrigation of natural energy all year round, their bodies become extremely strong.

And they can also freely control Chakra, and when gathered together, they are a powerful and unparalleled army.

Not only that, but you can also see a large number of houses here. The appearance and size of the houses are different from human architecture, full of exotic customs.

Judging from the number and strength of these toads alone, Shiraishi feels that even if thousands of ninja troops are invested, it may not be able to bite down here.

This does not include the two great immortals and the actual manager of Miaomu Mountain, the Great Toad Immortal.

If you insist on evaluating it, it is that the overall strength of Mount Miaomu may not be inferior to that of a big Ninja Village, and even stronger in terms of background.

The big toad sage is as famous as the living scorpion and the white snake sage of Rychi Cave. It first appeared in the era when Otsutsuki Kaguya ruled the world, and has a lot to do with the Six Paths sage who established Ninzong.

It can be said that it is a rather ancient existence in the ninja world.

It is not surprising that such a guy possesses any kind of ability.

At the same time, if Mount Miaomu is the target of the attack, then how to target the Great Toad Immortal is the biggest difficulty.

The rest of the large toads, as well as the gatekeeper Yansu giant toad, including the two elders who are elders, are not invincible in Baishi's eyes.

Only the Great Toad Immortal is different.

Even Baishi has prepared for the possibility of sneaking in and being discovered by the Great Toad Immortal, so he can psych the fire elf out at any time, so that he has time to retreat safely.

No matter how bad it is, putting Chizi here and letting him go berserk here can also be used to buy time.

Fortunately, although it took a lot of effort to sneak into the barrier, it was found by the Miaomushan toad, and such a thing did not happen.

Shiraishi, who wants to spy on information wholeheartedly, thinks that it is best not to startle the enemy now, but if a fight really has to happen, he will not back down.

Quietly lurking in the shadow of the shadow dancer, Baishi used this to move to every corner of the deep mountain area of Mt. Miaomu, and roughly counted the terrain and the number of toads with combat effectiveness.

During this period, he also met the two great sages Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage who passed by.

However, because these two toads possessed extremely strong attainments in immortal arts, Baishi did not get too close to them, but watched from a distance, watching the two immortals walking towards the 'li' deep in the mountain.

It is faintly visible, it is a huge building similar to a temple.

It is bigger than any temple Baishi has ever seen.

On the top of the temple, on something similar to a door plaque, there is a huge Chinese character 'Xian' engraved.

Large toads with weapons patrol around the temple.

A barrier invisible to the naked eye wraps around the temple.

According to the live slug, the residence of the Great Toad Immortal in Mt. Miaomu is a temple.

Obviously, that is the residence of the Great Toad Immortal, and it is also the core area of Miaomu Mountain.

Shiraishi could vaguely feel the huge celestial chakra pressing on his head... like facing a tailed beast, no, it was more oppressive and heavy than facing a tailed beast.

Shiraishi has only felt this extraordinary celestial chakra in living slugs so far.

Another creature beyond human common sense.

Should it be said that it is a toad that has lived for a thousand years?

Compared to it, the two great immortals at the elder level are completely incomparable with its sense of existence.

Using the words of the fire elf...can it be defeated? Shiraishi began to doubt the power of the fire elves.

The body can accommodate such a powerful sage chakra, which means that the physical strength of the big toad sage exceeds common sense.

If the physical strength has not reached an extraordinary level, containing such a strong celestial chakra in the body, it will directly explode and die.

And practiced immortal art, which means that the perception is not weak.

The Fire Spirit's opening move needs to release a large amount of chakra, which is enough for the opponent to use this gap to use defensive moves to cushion the attack.

The fire elves, who had wiped out thousands of ninjas in one fell swoop, were used here, and Shiraishi was not so confident.

Baishi didn't dwell on this question for too long, and continued to move towards the unexplored area.

Anyway, let's check Mt. Miaomu first except for the core temples.

See if there is anything else that needs attention besides the Great Toad Immortal.

Besides the Great Toad Immortal, it is hard to guarantee that there are no other powerful characters in Mount Miaomu. Careful investigation is the best policy.

"Old man, is there anything you want us to come over at this time?"

Entering the main hall of the temple, Immortal Zhima became extremely rude, and questioned Immortal Toad who was sitting on a large seat.

Although Fukasaku Immortal was dissatisfied with his wife's rudeness, considering his status in the family, he moved his mouth twice and said nothing.

The Great Toad Immortal who was sitting there opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at Immortal Zhima, didn't care about the other party's disrespect, but said slowly: "Just now, I was a little restless. I always felt that something was going to happen in Miaomu Mountain, so I specially called you to come here to discuss..."

"Are you sleepy and confused? What kind of prophecy is it again? Our Miaomu Mountain has not provoked the other two holy places, so how could any major event happen?"

Immortal Zhima scoffed at what Immortal Toad said.

It often ridicules the 'ability' of the big toad fairy who can't tell whether it is a dream or a prophecy.

After all, when people are old, they will be confused. The Great Toad Immortal has lived for more than a thousand years, so there is nothing wrong with being confused at this age.

The other party looked dying, and felt that he might enter the coffin board at any time.

"My child, please don't say a few words. That, sir, can you explain the matter in detail?"

Immortal Fusaku sighed helplessly, then looked at Immortal Toad, hoping that the other party would explain the matter in detail.

Otherwise, just relying on the feeling of restlessness... There is no general direction for the investigation like this.

"have no idea."

I don't know what else do you say? Sensei Fukasaku couldn't help it.

But considering that the other party is an elder, he refrained from attacking.

"Isn't it a prophecy?"

Immortal Fukasaku asked helplessly.

The Great Toad Immortal glanced at him, as if he didn't see his helplessness, and continued to speak slowly: "Compared with a prophecy, it's more like an early warning when I encounter danger, waking me up from my sleep. I haven't experienced this kind of thing for a long time... But if I look carefully again, I won't be able to see anything."

"Then this..."

Sensei Fukasaku and Sage Shima looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Is the White Snake Immortal doing the trick?"

Compared to the neutral wet bone forest, the slug fairy has always been indifferent to the world, and the dragon hole is a group of snake fairy with bad personality.

The White Snake Immortal who leads Longdi Cave is not a good person either.

Besides, Longdi Cave and Mt. Miaomu have not been dealt with very well, and the relationship between the two can be described as extremely bad.

In the past, Longdi Cave has brought a lot of troubles to Mount Miaomu many times.

However, because the strengths of the two holy places are similar, neither side can do anything to the other. Therefore, the so-called conflict has always been a small-scale conflict and does not hinder major events.

"We specialize in different fields. It doesn't have the ability to interfere with my predictions and early warnings. This vague appearance is more like a spell cast by the witches of the ghost country, confusing sight..."

The shriveled lips of the big toad fairy opened, and said such words.

"The witch of the ghost country?"

The two immortals naturally know what the ghost country is.

I also know that the relationship between the kingdom of ghosts and Konoha and Mt. Miaogi is bad.

Especially the head of their military is a human being who signed a contract with the slug fairy in the three holy lands of the wet bone forest.

Not only that, but also has many weird abilities, especially the ability to disrupt the chakra system, which can be called tricky.

"The witches, the main line of the ghost country, also have the power of prophecy, and their witches' power, when practiced to a high level, can reverse time and space. It can be said to be an 'abnormal' existence among human beings..."

The big toad fairy seemed to recall something.

"Is it because of the prophecy and something happened?"

Immortal Fukasaku was a little apprehensive.

Why have there been no predictions for so many years, and frequent accidents in these years?

"have no idea."

Immortal Toad gave a very bachelor answer.

As if it can't say anything except this sentence.

Sensei Fukasaku took a deep breath.

Don't be mad, don't be mad, don't be mad...

"If possible, find a time and ask Xiao Zilai to come over, and let him bring a blue-eyed boy with him..."

The Great Toad Immortal spoke slowly.

When speaking of the 'blue-eyed boy', there was finally a gleam of light in his cloudy eyes.

"The blue-eyed boy...could it be the one in the prophecy..."

Senjin Fukasaku and Sage Shima changed their expressions.

The Great Toad Immortal closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep as if very tired.

"This old thing is talking like a god, can't it really be dementia?"

Immortal Shima was worried.

Housework is already very busy. If I take care of an old man with dementia, I feel that I will be too busy.

"Don't talk nonsense, the reason why the Elder Master did this must have a deep meaning."

Although Fukasaku Sento himself didn't believe it when he said this.

"Now what?"

"According to the order of the Elder Master, let Xiao Zilai come over sometime."

"Okay, I'll let Kosuke arrange this matter."

Here in Mt. Miaomu, the person in charge of communicating with Konoha is a toad named Kosuke. Immortal Shima intends to let him contact Konoha again and pass the news to Jiraiya.

Konoha, in Haruno BBQ restaurant.

At Shikamaru's request, the eight people who chased Sasuke that day gathered here.

As the convener, this barbecue is naturally a treat for Shikamaru.

With the food intake of eight people, Shikamaru has already prepared the psychological awareness of bleeding.

"Sorry, I was too impulsive that day, which caused each of you to be seriously injured. If you are dissatisfied with anything, you can scold me at will!"

Before the barbecue was finished, Shikamaru stood up from his seat, bowed to the rest of the audience, his sincere face was full of shame.

"It's too outlandish to say that, Shikamaru. I don't know what the rest of the people think, but if it happens again, I will follow you to chase Sasuke. If you say something wrong, you can only blame us for being too weak. There is no way to bring Sasuke back."

Iba caressed Akamaru who was hugged in his arms, and said to Shikamaru, there was no sense of blame in his tone.

"That is to say, Shikamaru, we are ninjas. Although it is not an official mission, since the battle took place, everyone is prepared to sacrifice."

Choji also said aside.

He, like Kiba, did not criticize Shikamaru too much.

"That is to say, it's a rare treat, so don't say such polite words. Just be prepared to bleed a lot today."

Naruto chuckled.

These days I have been running around with Jiraiya, and I haven't eaten anything good. Now that I have returned to Konoha, I finally have a chance to enjoy it.

The rest of the people also agreed. Although Shikamaru took the lead in chasing Sasuke, as classmates, they couldn't just sit back and watch Sasuke leave the village.

"Thanks."

Shikamaru apologized again before sitting back in his seat, the shame on his face hadn't completely disappeared.

"Speaking of which, when will I have tasks to do? I'm almost bored to death."

At this moment, Naruto thought of something and complained.

Because of a series of things that happened to Konoha, the quest system directly collapsed. Naruto, who had no quests to do for many days, started to itch.

"Compared to this, living expenses are the biggest problem. Because there are no tasks to do, the people in the family only give us basic living expenses, and I can't even buy many cosmetics."

Ino said sullenly.

Although as a child of a big family, she is not short of money, but because she has not yet taken charge of the family, all her consumption is earned by performing tasks, or she usually works part-time in the flower shop at home.

She believes that the rest of the people are in a similar situation.

"Well, Naruto-kun, are you short of living expenses? If not, I can actually lend you some..."

Sitting next to Naruto, Hinata whispered.

Hinata, who had recovered from a serious injury, looked much better.

Her turning the corner to safety made Naruto, who had received the news before, also heave a sigh of relief.

If Hinata really died because of Sasuke...then he will never be able to forgive himself in this life.

"Well, living expenses? I'm not short of that kind of thing. Have you forgotten that I got a bonus from the Ghost Kingdom, and I haven't spent it yet."

Naruto blinked in confusion.

"Yes, is it?"

Hinata blushed and turned away, feeling that she had asked a stupid question.

"Speaking of money... Naruto, you're probably going to be a billionaire."

At this moment, Shikamaru suddenly thought of something and showed an interesting smile.

Shikamaru's words surprised many people, who didn't know what relationship Naruto had with billionaires.

"Didn't it be announced before? Naruto is the only son of the fourth-generation Hokage-sama and his wife. The village officials chose to hide this matter before, so there was no way for Naruto to inherit his parents' inheritance. But now that the secret has been made public, the legacy of the fourth-generation Hokage-sama will naturally be assigned to Naruto."

Shikamaru also heard from his father about this matter.

Although Shikamaru was also surprised by this incident at the beginning, but when he thought about it seriously, those high-level officials who held on to the inheritance of the Fourth Hokage couple had to return it under the pressure of public opinion in the village. After all, Naruto with this level of status has reversed his notoriety in the village drastically. If the high-level officials still go their own way, then the stable system that the village has finally recovered will be disrupted again.

If the top brass don't want to turn things into that, that's the only way to do it.

"So there is still such a thing, since it is so, then it is decided, next time it is Naruto's turn to treat."

Ya seems to have finalized this matter.

"That's right, I'm going to become a billionaire after all."

Although at their age, they only know about the fourth generation of Hokage through textbooks, but as Hokage, their family property must be very rich.

"Don't worry, this kind of thing is settled!"

Although it is not very clear, Naruto still agreed, but he felt a little weird in his heart.

"So, let's start this barbecue carnival"

Under Shikamaru's call, everyone raised their cups full of drinks.

"cheers!"

"Those children seem to have come out of their grief. They are young people. I'm really envious."

On the rooftop of the store building opposite the Chunye BBQ restaurant, two men and a woman approached the railing on the edge of the rooftop, and the female red spoke.

The other two men are Kai and Asma. Judging from their expressions, it seems that they have accumulated a lot of gloom on their faces, and they are in a bad mood.

Seeing that the two were silent, Hong sighed silently in her heart, and then brought up the topic intentionally or unintentionally:

"Speaking of which, did Kakashi really betray him?"

It's okay if you don't mention this, but if you mention this, Kai will lose hope and fall to the ground, in a near-death state where his soul is out of his body.

"Ah, so it is."

Asma repeated the sentence without emotion, then subconsciously took out a cigarette from her pocket, and was about to light it with a lighter when she was stopped by Hong.

"Didn't you say that you can't smoke in my place?"

Hong's gaze is sharp.

"Sorry, forgot."

Asma seemed to have remembered this, stuffed the lighter into her pocket, and just had a cigarette in her mouth to enjoy herself.

"Really, as a man, you have the appearance of a man. Don't just worry about sadness here. I shouldn't let a woman explain this kind of thing."

Hong looked at the two still silent and decadent, and frowned displeased.

But the two of them still had no intention of talking to Hong, which made Hong shake his head helplessly.

It is estimated that these two people still need a long time to adjust their emotions.

"It's Kosuke, aren't you staying at Mt. Miaomu? Why are you looking for me at this time?"

Jiraiya, who was writing a manuscript in his own room in Konoha, suddenly saw a small red toad jumping in from the window.

After it caused a commotion, Jiraiya's eyes shifted to him, showing a look of surprise.

"It was Immortal Zhima who asked me to come here, saying that the Grand Master had something to look for you."

Facing Jiraiya's question, Toad Kosuke quickly gave an explanation.

"The big toad fairy?"

Zilai was even more surprised.

"Yes, and I also asked you to bring a blue-eyed boy with you when you were preparing to go to Mt. Miaomu."

Toad Kosuke remembered something again, and gave Ziraiya a word.

Blue-eyed boy? Jiraiya's mind suddenly remembered Naruto's appearance.

Sure enough, Naruto is the son of prophecy, exactly as he guessed.

Hearing that the Great Toad Immortal wanted him to take Naruto to Mt. Miaomu, Zilai further affirmed Naruto's identity.

"That's it, I understand. But I can't leave now, and Konoha will hold the succession ceremony of the fifth Hokage soon. As a Sannin, I must be present."

Considering Konoha's situation at this time, Jiraiya still decided to deal with the matter of taking Naruto to Mt. Myogi.

If Tsunade knows that he didn't attend her Fifth Hokage Succession Ceremony, his result will be miserable.

"Grandpa just let you go there in the near future, and didn't set a specific time. It doesn't matter if you are a few days late."

Toad Kosuke replied.

"That's really great. By the way, do you know the reason why the big toad fairy suddenly wanted me to go there?"

Zilai also asked.

Immortal Toad would not let him go to Mount Miaomu for no reason, but he would go with the Son of Prophecy.

Maybe there is some problem that he doesn't know about, which made Immortal Toad suddenly make this decision.

"You can ask the Tailord about this kind of thing. I'm just an errand messenger."

Toad Xiaosuke shook his head, saying that he didn't know what happened to the big toad fairy who suddenly came to him.

"Well, I understand. Then, a week later, I will take the person that the Great Toad Immortal is looking for to Mt. Miaomu. The other party has also signed a contract with Mt. Miaomu. When the time comes, they will prepare to call us over there by counter-psychic techniques. The time will be set at twelve o'clock noon in a week's time."

I also thought about it myself, and determined the time to be twelve o'clock at noon a week later.

Using this time as a signal, let the other side prepare the art of reverse psychic.

Although you can also go there on foot, but that would be a waste of time, and it would be easier to reverse the psychic technique.

After receiving Jiraiya's reply, Toad Kosuke nodded, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared in the courtyard.

Looking at the direction Kosuke left, Jiraiya also fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about the reason why the Great Toad Immortal did this.

His original intention was to let Naruto practice under his hands for a few years, and then go to Miaomu Mountain to receive training in fairy arts, but now it seems that the meaning of the big toad sage is that he intends to let Naruto receive training in fairy arts in advance?
