บท 298: Chapter 298
"Little Jiraiya, Mount Myōboku cannot be relocated,"
After a long silence, it was Fukasaku who finally spoke, addressing Jiraiya, "We have nowhere else to go. Leaving this place could mean death."
Without the Toad Oil Pool, they would stop growing, and without the abundant natural energy surrounding Mount Myōboku, food would quickly become scarce.
The area was home to massive insects, some as large as four to five meters—enough to sustain the toads. In any other location, starvation would decimate their numbers within a year.
"But… if you stay, Konoha will attack soon. There will be war…"
Jiraiya tried to reason with them, hoping to avoid a conflict between Mount Myōboku and Konoha. However, he didn't fully understand the toads' situation—leaving would mean certain death.
"Konoha may not even locate Mount Myōboku, and even if they do, they might not bring many troops."
Fukasaku paused, realizing even he wasn't entirely confident in his words.
"Little Jiraiya, we can't leave. Once you've healed, it's best you leave Mount Myōboku. With your skills, you could still survive in the shinobi world, even if you had to remain hidden."
The Great Toad Sage also spoke, "Jiraiya, once you're gone, you can still train students. Perhaps one day, you'll find a disciple destined to save the world."
Jiraiya forced a bitter smile. "Elder, I'm a missing-nin now. Who would let me train students? I'd probably be captured the moment I returned."
"That remains to be seen. Fukasaku, pass on Mount Myōboku's senjutsu to Jiraiya. He's ready to enter the perfected Sage Mode."
Mount Myōboku had a legacy stretching back thousands of years, even before the Sage of Six Paths. Allowing Jiraiya to move through the shinobi world unnoticed would be an easy task with their teachings.
"Even if I could teach, I'm hardly in the mindset for it now," Jiraiya chuckled, letting go of some tension. "Elder, didn't you once prophesy that when Mount Myōboku was destroyed, I would be destroyed alongside it? Your prophecies have never been wrong!"
The two elder toads fell silent. After receiving a look from the Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku finally said, "Regardless of whether you leave or stay, focus on healing for now. You've mastered Perfect Sage Mode, and there are things we can teach you."
"…I don't know if I'll have time to learn them," Jiraiya said, but he still followed Fukasaku outside.
After they left, the Great Toad Sage let out a deep sigh.
This time, he hadn't foreseen the future clearly—and he had lost, badly. In his dreams, he had communicated with Hamura, who urged him to hide Mount Myōboku. But before any decision was made, Jiraiya arrived, bearing the Flying Thunder God seal.
Now, the only option left was to fight to the end; as Fukasaku had said, leaving would mean death.
"I hope my prophecy is wrong…"
For the first time, the Great Toad Sage wished one of his prophecies would be proven false—especially the vision of Ryūchi Cave's snakes devouring Mount Myōboku.
...
Konoha
After the battle with the Sage of Six Paths and the effects of the Infinite Tsukuyomi outside the village, Konoha quickly returned to its usual peace. The commotion was swiftly handled by the security force, preventing widespread panic.
Both the Sand and Amekawa districts were back to their normal routines, with officials reclaiming territory and tending to civilian affairs.
Due to the Sand district's expansion, which had now taken over the entire Wind Country, discussions were underway to divide it into three regions: Sand East, Sand Central, and the original Sand district.
On the final night of his Succubus Form, Yoichi spent quality time with his family, even inviting Tsunade to join. At the dinner table, alongside Kushina, Rin, and Yugito—whose relationship was still hidden—Yoichi's wives enjoyed a pleasant meal together.
Afterward, Yoichi held onto Yoko, unwilling to let go, prompting Tsunade to stay with her daughter as well. The night grew deep as Yoichi spent the entire night with his three wives, drawing out sweet sounds in the darkness, using the Mountain Reincarnation Technique on himself seven or eight times.
He poured an abundance of life energy into Tsunade, Mikoto, and Mina, knowing that without the Succubus Form, the three would have been too exhausted to move for days.
Finally, at dawn, Mikoto, Mina, and Tsunade fell into a deep sleep, exhausted.
That night, Yoichi had resolved to pave the way for Tsunade to join him permanently, even though she initially resisted. Being married for years now, Yoichi couldn't help but be enamored with the three beautiful kunoichi, each of whom held a unique allure in the shinobi world.
Indulging himself for a night, Yoichi finally returned to the Hokage office for some formal work.
Soon, Yoichi had organized a team of 150 elite shinobi and summoned a hundred of Ryūchi Cave's snakes to prepare for the battle against Mount Myōboku.
The Great Toad Sage would be Yoichi's responsibility to handle, while the three Snake Princesses would manage the majority of the toads, leaving Yoichi to focus on killing the Great Toad Sage himself.
With the preparations complete, Yoichi gathered the team at Training Ground 15, connected them all with chakra, and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting them all to Mount Myōboku.
Seeing the lush paradise, Yoichi's team understood the beauty of the place they were about to destroy.
"Begin!"
At the command, the team's captains ordered the summoning, blanketing the field in smoke as the snakes materialized. Over 300 snakes from Ryūchi Cave filled the area, the largest being Manda and Shin, coiling beside Yoichi.
He then summoned Tagorihime, Tagitsuhime, and Ichikishimahime, who appeared alongside him.
"Is this Mount Myōboku?" Ichikishimahime licked her lips, eager to start the battle.
