Chapter 770: Chapter – 763 A Trip to Mount Myōboku: Meeting Gamamaru
Two days Later
It was finally time for the kids to go to Mount Myōboku, and as per Jiraiya's instructions, Kuroto led Neji and Hinata to the place where Jiraiya told him to.
As Kuroto and the two kids were waiting for Jiraiya to arrive, suddenly he noted Uchiha Patriarch coming towards them with Sasuke and Kiyomi beside him.
Seeing the three people from the Uchiha Clan coming, Kuroto muttered to himself with a doubtful expression, "Why are they coming here?"
Neji was also stunned as he noted Sasuke and Kiyomi, and immediately said to Kuroto, "Sensei… the matter of going to Mount Myōboku… I told Sasuke. So, maybe he is also…"
Hearing his disciple's words, Kuroto teased him, "You told Sasuke… aren't you afraid that your chances of getting the approval of Mount Myōboku will be reduced with two more competitors?"
Neji shook his head with a clear expression, "I am not afraid."
Kuroto smiled and shook his head.
Uchiha Kiyomi is fine, but Kuroto feels that the addition of Sasuke will cause changes to his plan, after all, Kuroto is very clear about Sasuke's identity, and considering who lives at Mount Myōboku, there is no way he won't notice that presence inside Sasuke.
Of course, even if he has such a feeling, he doesn't plan to do anything about it, if Neji still manages to get the approval of the toads, then very good, but if doesn't, then that will be a lesson for Neji.
As for the question of how come the Uchiha Clan is here? This isn't a very tough question.
Uchiha Sasuke must have requested his father to create an opportunity for him too, and Uchiha Fugaku must have talked to Jiraiya. In normal times, Jiraiya would obviously not accept Fugaku's request, but this isn't normal times.
Considering the current complex situation of the village, in order to keep the Uchiha clan happy, Jiraiya had no other choice but to agree to Fugaku's request.
In fact, Kuroto feels that even if the Uchiha clan didn't know about Neji and Hinata going to Mount Myōboku through Neji, Sandaime-sama would have still leaked this news to the Uchiha Clan using his means so that the Uchiha Clan could owe a favor to the Hokage faction.
If Jiraiya has already agreed to take two kids to Mount Myōboku, then does it really matter if one or two more kids are added?
Obviously No! Adding Sasuke and Kiyomi to the list won't matter at all.
The excellence of Sasuke and Kiyomi, especially the talent and skills of Sasuke was witnessed by everyone during the recent assessment. Knowing this, if someone says that Sandaime-sama wouldn't want to draw Sasuke to the Hokage Faction, then Kuroto wouldn't believe it.
Moreover, now that Shisui and Itachi are no longer part of the Anbu, Sandaime-sama has all the more reason to draw another Uchiha into the Hokage faction, and what better candidate than Uchiha Sasuke?
That's why we are here with Sasuke and Kiyomi also going to Mount Myōboku.
Soon after the arrival of the three Uchiha clansmen, Jiraiya also showed up.
After greeting the four kids, Jiraiya looked at Kuroto and Fugaku, as he explained, "As I already said previously, I can promise to keep the kids safe… however, whether they can get what they wish in their heart depends on their luck and abilities… I have no say on that, I hope both of you are very clear about this."
Kuroto and Fugaku nodded together.
With that Jiraiya nodded, "Alright then, now it's time for us to depart." then reverse summoned the four children and himself to the Land of the Toads.
After watching the five people disappear in a poof of white smoke, Fugaku turned towards Kuroto and said, "I owe you a favor for this time."
Fugaku is fairly clear that the only reason Sasuke and Kiyomi have the opportunity to go to Mount Myōboku is Kuroto, if not for Kuroto to convince Jiraiya, it wouldn't have been possible.
Kuroto shrugged indifferently, "Whatever." And left the place.
Even if he has no intention of changing anything about Sasuke and Kiyomi going to the Land of Toads, he is not very happy that the two of them are going too. Because he is very clear that the presence of Sasuke in the group will cause changes.
Fugaku remained silent as he watched Kuroto disappear.
…
Mount Myōboku
After arriving at the Land of the Toads, five people met with Elder Fukasaku.
When Jiraiya introduced Elder Fukasaku as his Sensei to the kids, all four of them were taken aback and looked skeptically at the small green toad with a white beard, "He is… Jiraiya-sama's Sensei? This… how is this possible?"
Feeling the skeptical gazes of the kids, Elder Fukasaku was helpless. He brought Jiraiya to the side, and asked him, "Jiraiya-chan… these kids are…?" The elder Toad was surprised to see so many humans come to Mount Myōboku.
Jiraiya was also a little helpless and explained the entire situation to Elder Fukasaku.
After hearing Jiraiya's explanation, Elder Fukasaku sighed, and then he pondered over the situation for a while, "Well, we can't take all of them; that's for sure."
Jiraiya asked, "So what to do? And how to choose?"
Elder Fukasaku thought about it, and said, "There has never been a precedent of so many people coming to Mount Myōboku before… even I don't know what to do." and added after a pause, "I suppose only Great Elder has a say in the matter."
"Then please." Said Jiraiya.
Elder Fukasaku nodded and led the five people to the hall of Gamamaru.
…
Arriving at the great hall of Gamamaru, the five people sat quietly while Elder Fukasaku tried to wake up Elder Gamamaru, "Ojiji-sama… Jiraiya-chan has brought these children from Konoha… what should we do?"
And while Elder Fukasaku explained things to Gamamaru, the four children sat beside Jiraiya with a nervous expression. They swear that this is the first time they have seen such a giant toad in their life. Although old, he still appeared to be a little scary such that Hinata and Kiyomi subconsciously grabbed the sleeves of their elder siblings.
Of course, both Neji and Sasuke were also nervous, but they tried their best to reassure their younger siblings, 'Don't worry.'
Jiraiya chuckled at the kid's behavior and waited for Gamamaru to speak.
After Elder Fukasaku explained everything to Gamamaru, the millennium-old toad with a sleepy expression swept his gaze on the four kids. His gaze passed by Hinata, Neji, and Kiyomi without stopping, however, as soon as he saw Sasuke, Gamamaru's eyes shot open, his sleepiness disappeared and an incomprehensible expression appeared on his face. Perhaps Gamamaru noted something in Sasuke and muttered, "Indra?"

Chapter 771: Chapter – 764 A Trip to Mount Myōboku: Sennin Mode
When Gamamaru saw Sasuke, he was taken aback and all his sleepiness immediately disappeared. He seems to have seen something in Sasuke, and exclaimed in surprise, "Indra."
Gamamaru has lived for over a millennium, therefore, the moment he saw Uchiha Sasuke, he immediately recognized that Sasuke is the current reincarnation of Ōtsutsuki Indra.
At the same time, Gamamaru also saw vague fragments of the future in which Sasuke would play an important role.
Many people are aware of the fact that Gamamaru can foresee the future, time and time again, he has demonstrated this ability. Using his ability to foresee the future, Gamamaru must have known that only the Ōtsutsuki brothers Hagoromo and Hamura–who inherited their Chakra from Kaguya–could resist her, so he cleverly approached the two brothers and confused them to rebel.
At the moment when Hagoromo was going to fight Kaguya, he handed over a special seal tag to Hagoromo. Again, Gamamaru must have known that Hamura would die at the hands of Hagoromo so he gave a seal tag that can resurrect the dead.
Gamamaru cleverly did not point out this to Hagoromo, probably because he foresaw the future, and understood that it was necessary for Hagoromo to kill his brother in order to awaken the Rinnegan.
Later, Gamamaru foresaw the result of the test that Hagoromo gave to his children Indra and Asura while deciding his heir.
And finally, Gamamaru also led Jiraiya on the path of searching for the 'Son of Prophecy'.
However, the problem is, for quite a few years now, Gamamaru has stopped seeing anything related to the future, that is, up until now.
Therefore, when Jiraiya saw the change in Gamamaru, he immediately got up and asked, "Lord Gamamaru… what happened? Did you see something?"
Being aware of the concept of 'cause and effect' Gamamaru chose not to reveal anything and changed the topic with a small laugh, "Oh no… nothing… I was just surprised at the excellence of these children." Then he turned towards Fukasaku, and instructed him, "Take a test of these children."
Everyone was confused by Gamamaru's unnatural behavior, however, no one said anything about it and followed Gamamaru's instructions.
Jiraiya and Fukasaku nodded lightly then led the four children to the Sacred Oil Fountain.
…
Looking at the four children, Elder Fukasaku carefully thought about the words Gamamaru said to him in private, then said, "All right children… I will be teaching you the Special Senjutsu of Mount Myōboku. Those of you who can successfully cultivate Senjutsu will pass the test, understand?"
"Senjutsu?" Hearing Fukasaku's words, the four children were surprised and got excited. Sasuke and Neji were more eager to learn Senjutsu.
Noting the kid's excitement, Jiraiya quickly said, "Don't be so excited, Senjutsu is not that easy to master!"
Sasuke said in a dissatisfied tone, "If Naruto can learn it, then I can too!"
Jiraiya smiled and shook his head. Since Naruto has mastered Senjutsu, people have started to misunderstand it, now every ten-year-old kid thinks that he or she can learn Senjutsu.
What they don't seem to understand is that Naruto has mastered Senjutsu under special circumstances as such he is an exceptional case, and not everyone can be as special as Naruto in this regard.
Let alone others, Jiraiya, and Shisui haven't completely mastered Senjutsu. Even now both of them need assistance while using the Senjutsu mode. Perhaps the only known person to have perfectly mastered the Senjutsu Mode is Shodaime Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama.
Coming back to the topic, as Elder Fukasaku led everyone to the training area at Sacred Oil Fountain, the children noted the giant toad-shaped rock statues, and asked curiously, "Fukasaku-sama, why are there so many statues here?"
"Huh… these… they are not simple statues… they are all people who failed to master Senjutsu." Said Elder Fukasaku, and added with a solemn tone, "When training the Senjutsu Mode of Mount Myōboku, the practitioner will gain the features of a toad… in this process, once the natural energy inside the body gets out of control, the practitioner's entire body will turn into a toad and then petrify into a stone statue."
"What?" All four children were horrified upon learning the truth.
At this time, Jiraiya said with a smile, "Mastering Senjutsu is not as easy as you all are assuming it to be, don't think that just because Naruto mastered it, you lot will master it as well, Naruto is an exceptional case!"
Elder Fukasaku said, "The reason these people became statues is that they were too greedy and rash for power. You people don't have to worry too much, even if all of you fail to master Senjutsu, I can at least ensure that none of you will become a toad statue."
Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Elder Fukasaku's words. And quickly asked, "Fukasaku-sama, will we become toad when we use Senjutsu?"
Kiyomi, Neji, and Hinata looked at Fukasaku, none of them wanted to become a toad.
Elder Fukasaku naturally understood the children's dilemma, and said with a smile, "Don't worry… when training the Senjutsu Mode of Mount Myōboku, although the user gains toad features, however, they don't become toads. In the future, when your mastery increases, the toad features will become less and less visible and totally disappear."
This also means that the more secondary features appear in a person's body, the less his mastery in Senjutsu and vice versa.
Senju Hashirama had the least amount of features on his body when he used the Senjutsu Mode, except for a few lines under his eyes, there were no changes. Naruto's mastery was even better compared to the Shodaime Hokage. When he entered the Senjutsu Mode, except for the change in his pupil, there was no other change.
In comparison to Naruto and Hashirama, Jiraiya and Shisui's mastery of Senjutsu is obviously inferior.
Well putting that aside, Fukasaku's words relieved the four children and they were ready to try.
With that, Elder Fukasaku took some toad oil from the fountain and rubbed a few drops on the arms of the four children, while instructing, "This is special toad oil, it will help you sense the natural energy spread in the heaven and earth, start concentrating, and try to sense the Natural Energy."
The four children nodded, and under the guidance of Elder Fukasaku, they tried to sense the Natural Energy dispersed in heaven and earth.
