Chapter 50: Jiraiya and the New Prophecy
At the training camp, Baishi was practicing with Ruri.
It was probably something that happened during ninja school. Baishi cannot estimate Ruri's strength. Furthermore, Ruri's power also grew during this period, so Baishi's stance on Ruri's strength became somewhat uncertain.
Also, upon entering a fighting state, Ruri's body was already emanating a sharp murderous aura, which was proof that she had killed more than one person.
Although the Sakumo team was created less than half a year ago, it has gone through more than a dozen battles, big and small, they gained rich combat experience and faced the ninja Jōnin many times.
Even Shiraishi, who is. An 'ordinary' ninja who is good at medical ninjutsu, has solved several ninjas with his bare hands. Therefore, Shiraishi was not frightened by Ruri's murderous aura during training.
But this does not mean that Ruri is easy to deal with, even if it is just an ordinary physical skill, it is like thunder when it starts.
Ruri who was in front of Baishi's eyes a second ago had flashed behind Baishi, and Ruri's kick carried a strong wind towards Baishi's head with the speed of light.
Baishi had no choice but to lay down, pressing one palm on the ground, and turning his body around the palm of his hand, turning over several somersaults in the opposite direction to Ruri, pulling a safe distance away.
After that, he immediately turned around and pulled a shapely sword, the sword was fierce and collided with Ruri's Kunai's swift attack, and the sparks scattered.
Shiraishi belongs to the ninja category that has little chakra; therefore, in battle, Baishi can't waste chakra, he has to save as much chakra as possible, using chakra to improve the physique doesn't consume much compared to ninjutsu.
In addition, your body has been strengthened by new medicines developed based on natural energy. Your body's overall ability is much more powerful than that of ordinary people, and the chakra used to improve your physique is minuscule.
The taijutsu master ninja should be able to stop using ninjutsu, but if you find the superior ninja who is proficient in physical skills, the result is hard to tell. It is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment based on the actual situation, such as environmental factors, psychological qualities, tactical arrangements, and physical abilities. Types and so on.
However, in the battle with Ruri, Shiraishi was unable to stop his ninjutsu. For a ninja proficient in physical skills, fighting a ninja good ninjutsu and genjutsu will be a difficult fight, getting any positive results is very difficult.
What's more, Ruri still has the troublesome blood inheritance boundary.
The battle between the two on the training ground looked fierce, but because of the speed, it was not possible to see their movements, to watch the fight the dynamic vision has to reach a certain level, for people with the low level it is estimated that only afterimages can be seen passing in front and sounds of metal colliding.
Both of them do not need to use the instantaneous technique, using the pure physical technique, they can move at high speed.
It should be said that the instantaneous technique is being used in battle all the time.
This is the physical ninja's advantage, but as the speed has been kept at the highest level, the load on the body will also quickly increase.
Fortunately, Shiraishi and Ruri's bodies have been modified by natural energy drugs, and their body's resilience, including resistance, is also superb, and they can enter this high-speed battle state for a long time.
This is also the reason why Ruri endured fighting one on two in the first mission.
Ruri has already fought two Jōnin, and one of the Jōnin was proficient in physical abilities. Containing Ruri, otherwise, it would be difficult to defeat her.
With the gradual deepening of the battle, Shiraishi's Chakra was no longer supported.
Seeing this, Ruri stopped his hand, the Kunai circled in his fingers, and then placed it in his ninja bag, ending the battle.
Ruri prefers physique and ninjutsu, which is a frontal offensive combat method, compared to the side-of-the-art combat of illusion.
Probably because this method of fighting is more refreshing and simple.
Therefore, every time she played against Shiraishi with physical skills, she felt happy.
Only this kind of flesh-on-the-flesh battle can be called the essence of battle.
"It's useless. it won't work for a long time."
"No way, I'm not like you, your Chakra is inherently stronger."
Especially after the awakening of the Sharingan, Chakra will further increase.
Aside from being a little tired after using it for a long time, the Uchiha were never short of chakra in a regular battle.
"However, next. I am going to practice natural energy, and the situation should improve a lot."
"Isn't it done already?"
"That was done in an experiment, and I haven't tried to actively absorb natural energy. Now the risk is almost minimized, so I need to use drugs to assist me to grasp the feeling of absorbing natural energy."
"Since the risk has gotten low so I want to give it a try."
Ruri also has a huge desire to conquer natural energy.
Natural energy is stronger than ordinary chakras. Even if chakras cannot be integrated to form sage chakras, the effect of increasing physical fitness is also significant.
Moreover, if the way to absorb natural energy is mastered, it means that energy will never be exhausted.
Natural energy is everything in nature.
Water, air, trees. Everywhere.
It can be said that as long as it is in nature, natural energy can be permanently supplied.
"Well, I planned to do that too."
Baishi didn't refuse. He could not progress without the funds, contacts, and location provided by Ruri.
The power of capital is invincible.
Nobody can live without money.
Alas... it is something created by human beings, but human beings have been enslaved by it. This world is truly degenerate.
"Do you plan on letting Ayane try?"
Ruri walked to the sitting platform outside the training ground, picked up the wet towel there, and wiped his face, and then suddenly came this sentence, the tone was not very cold, but it gave people a very terrible sense of oppression.
"...Ah, that's it... because there are so many uses to Byakugan. Ayane's eyes also helped me solve many research problems."
With a guilty conscience, Baishi looked away.
After Ruri revealed that he knew. The subject can be discussed clearly, but when Ruri touches it, Baishi feels ashamed.
Wait, why should you be embarrassed?
Isn't it for teammates and classmates to help each other?
Shiraishi couldn't help asking again.
Did you make the problem too complicated?
"Yes?"
Ruri raised his head and glanced at the clear blue sky, then stroked the long black hair next to her ear, and turned to leave.
Shiraishi stayed in place to think.
What does?
Women's minds are complicated.
"The most important thing is to practice natural energy..."
◎
The grass and leaves here are verdant, and the birds and flowers are scented, full of vitality.
Surrounded by stone statues of toads, this place is like a paradise in Monte Myōboku.
Caverna Ryūchi and Floresta Shikkotsu are called the three sacred places in the Ninja World, and they are also one of the birthplaces of inheriting ancient sage skills.
Since ancient times, there have been countless powerful ninjas looking for this place, wanting to practice. Some people became stone statues of Mt. Myōboku. Some people practiced sage mode successfully and became famous ninjas out there.
But with the advent of the Ninja Village era, although the existence of Senjutsu is still recorded in the classics of major Ninja villages, in fact, with the passing of the first Hokage, Senjutsu has long become a legend in the Ninja world. It is hard to tell whether it is true or not.
Until now, not even a ninja can master the wise arts and shine in the ninja world.
"Boss."
That is the human voice that shouldn't have appeared in the three holy places of Monte Myōboku.
Konoha's forehead protector is on her head. There are two sharp red vertical marks under the corners of your eyes. He is about twenty-four years old, with white hair, and his face is vigorous and confident.
As soon as he came here, he greeted the frog at the hall gate.
The toad. Waiting for in front of the main hall was dressed in a gray robe, his skin was green, and his height was only the size of a human child, but it gave a very otherworldly aura, even though it was still a toad.
"Oh, it's little Jiraiya, it finally here?"
It saw the human youth who came here to greet, with a kind smile on the old face.
This young ninja is Jiraiya signed a psychic contract with Monte Myōboku.
Along with Tsunade and Orochimaru, he is a powerful ninja who has signed a contract with one of the three holy places.
He is also the disciple of Konoha's third Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is an excellent Konoha ninja who has inherited the will of fire.
Not long ago, he just ended his three-year agreement in the Land of Rain. Not long after he returned to Konoha, he was just about to go to the front line of the Land of Fire. As a result, he received a message from Monte Myōboku, asking him to come to Monte as soon as possible.
"Well, Fukasaku boss, what happened? Why did you notify me at this time?"
"Sorry for letting you over at this critical moment, but this is the order of the master, and I can't help it."
Fukasaku knows the world of Shinobu is at war, and Konoha is one of the participants. As he is one of the few elite Shinobu, Jiraiya will naturally come forward to fight the enemy.
Jiraya didn't mean to blame Fukasaku. As one of the two great sages in Monte Myōboku, when he was practicing in Monte Myōboku, Fukasaku taught him sage skills by hand... Even though he didn't accomplish anything in the end.
But thinking that this is the sage's legendary technique, it's hard to give up.
He had surpassed many people without becoming a toad stone statue.
"Why, isn't Sister Shima away?"
Seeing that Shima, another sage from Monte Myōboku, was not there, Jiraya asked.
Shima and the wife of Fukasaku are also sages Monte Myōboku. Usually, they are almost inseparable, so Jiraiya also asks this question.
"She went outside to buy groceries."
"That's it. In other words, it's the great toad hermit who came to me this time, isn't it?"
"I don't know the specifics either. That's what the elder ordered. Come in with me."
Fukasaku led the way, and Jiraiya had to follow and enter the hall together.
In the magnificent hall, directly in front of the gate, there is an incredible recliner, and an incredibly old toad lies there.
It had a big pipe in its mouth, and even if it closed its eyes and slumbered, the smoke ring was shrouded in the hall, making it cloud-filled, like a fairyland.
Fukasaku jumped into the high platform under the right hand of a great toad hermit. His hands clasped together, his expression solemn.
Jiraya also stood still in front of the great toad hermit, looking up.
No matter when you look at it, this toad, which is so big that, makes people feel shocked, is almost dying with half of its foot in the coffin.
"Great toad hermit I have come."
Jiraiya also yelled below.
The old toad didn't react and continued to spit out smoke rings with a happy expression.
Fukasaku's solemn expression didn't last long took a deep breath helplessly, turned his head, and used nature Chakra to spread his voice even louder:
"Master, Jiraiya is here too!"
Old Frog then looked slowly at the Fukasaku next to him and then saw Jiraiya below.
"Have everyone brought you? Sorry, I almost fell asleep."
"..."
Not almost, but already asleep.
"Great toad hermit, is there something going on this time?"
Great toad hermit is the master of Monte Myōboku. He has an incredible ability to see through the future. He has made predictions for him and realized them one by one, so Jiraiya also has a kind of awe of the Great toad hermit.
To see through the future, I feel that only the true sage can.
Especially after seeing some things in the Kingdom of Rain this time, he firmly believed in the abilities of the Big Toad Immortal.
"About this matter, Jira... what is your name?"
Great toad hermit suddenly asked such words, which embarrassed both Jiraiya and Fukasaku.
"Master, this is Jiraiya. You predicted some things for him before, our contractor."
Fukasaku helplessly added.
"Oh, I remembered, little Jiraya, I almost didn't remember it."
Jiraiya didn't want to believe that such a toad with Alzheimer's would be a so-called sage.
But the prophecy made him have to believe it.
Moreover, Monte Myōboku's magic is true.
"Jiraiya, I am looking for you this time, and there are other things for you to do.
"What's the matter? Is it still the matter of the Son of Prophecy?"
Jiraiya also thought that only such an event was worthy of the Great toad hermit letting him come here in person.
"It's not directly related to the Son of Prophecy. But, I had a strange dream..."
"Weird prophetic dreams?"
"A dream that shows a calamity that befell the ninja world."
The Great toad hermit's tone still didn't fluctuate much, and he was half-dead and weak.
"Then the weirdness is specifically..."
"With the war extremely fierce, a ninja will appear in the world his arrival, death, and war will burn the entire ninja world like never before."
"!?"
Both Jiraiya and Fukasaku were taken aback.
Even the Son of Fate's prophecy was never this extreme. There are two outcomes for the child of fate, peace or destruction.
And as long as the children of prophecy are well educated and guided, there is a greater chance that the Ninja world will move towards peace.
But this time result is directly the result of the destruction, and there is no room for people to choose.
"That... disappearing means..."
Jiraiya couldn't accept such a sudden change for a while, and there was an urgency on his face.
"In other words, all ninjas in the ninja world, including Konoha, will disappear from the ninja world..."
"Konoha...disappeared..."
Jiraya has also panicked.
When it comes to Konoha, he can no longer calm down.
"The reason? It's the son of prophecy..."
Jiraiya also asked in a hurry.
Thinking of the three years of stay in the Rain Kingdom this time, the heir to the reincarnation eye he accepted as his disciple. Jiraya believes he is the ninja who will bring change to the ninja world.
Being the one with the reincarnation eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, this was also the reason why Jiraiya believed in the prophecies of the great toad hermit.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Son of Prophecy."
Jiraiya was also relieved when he heard the words of the Great Frog hermit.
Fortunately not.
"Then why is this happening?"
"I have no idea."
The Great Frog hermit said very simply.
"what?"
Jiraiya was also confused.
do not know?
What kind of answer is this?
"The person who brought absolute destruction to the Ninja World today is now in Konoha. You have to investigate it carefully..."
In Konoha!?
Jiraiya was surprised.
How is this going? Konoha ninja is the one who brought destruction to the Ninja World?
who is it?
Is there such a terrible person in Konoha?
If so, why didn't I notice it at all?
That should be the powerful Konoha Ninja.
"Great Frog hermit, I—"
"Huh..."
Only the sweet snoring of the Great Frog hermit came from the seat.
Jiraiya, Fukasaku: "..."
Isn't the prediction just now a joke dream?
However, I think it's impossible. If it's an ordinary dream, the great frog hermit wouldn't call me.
"But Konoha is so big and so many ninjas, how can I find that person..."
Jiraiya sighed in the hallway.
Besides, he's about to go to the battlefield, doesn't have time to do such a thing.
Also, he's not sure if he's a man or a woman. He couldn't investigate one by one.
Jiraiya also began to plan.
