Chapter 51: Jiraiya and the new prophecy (two
Chapter 51 Jiraiya and the new prophecy (two chapters in one)
On the training ground, Shiraishi is practicing with Liuli.
Since the last actual combat training, it probably happened during the ninja school. In addition, Liuli's strength has also grown rapidly during this period, so Shiraishi's position on Liuli's strength has become a little vague.
Besides, when Liuli entered the fighting state, a sharp murderous aura naturally lingered on Liuli's body, which was proof of having seen blood.
Although Sakumo's team was established less than half a year ago, they have experienced more than a dozen battles, large and small. It can also be said that they have rich combat experience, and have confronted Jonin many times.
Even an ordinary ninja like Shiraishi, who is good at medical ninjutsu, has personally eliminated several ninjas, so during the sparring, Shiraishi was not frightened by Liuli's murderous aura.
But this does not mean that Liuli is easy to deal with, even if it is just an ordinary physical skill, it is like a thunderbolt.
Liuli, who was still in front of Baishi a second ago, flashed behind Baishi in an instant, and the leg whip carrying the strong wind swept towards Baishi's head with lightning speed.
Baishi had no choice but to bend down, press one palm on the ground, use the palm as the axis, turn his body, and roll over a few somersaults in the opposite direction to Liuli, keeping a safe distance.
Then he turned around immediately, and a well-crafted ninja sword fell out of his cuff, which happened to fall into Shiraishi's hands.
Shiraishi is a ninja with serious chakra shortcomings. Therefore, in battle, if you can save chakra, try to save chakra as much as possible. Compared with ninjutsu, the chakra used in taijutsu is relatively much less.
In addition, his own body has already been permanently strengthened by a new drug developed based on natural energy, and his comprehensive physical ability is far stronger than that of ordinary people. Only a little chakra is needed to make a qualitative change in the speed and strength of Taijutsu.
Junin should be able to interrupt the performance of ninjutsu, but if you encounter a junin who is proficient in taijutsu, the outcome is hard to say. Comprehensive judgment should be made according to the actual situation, such as environmental factors, psychological quality, tactical arrangements, types of taijutsu, etc.
However, during the battle with Liuli, Shiraishi was unable to interrupt her ninjutsu. For a ninja who is proficient in physical jutsu, ninjutsu and illusion, if he cannot crush in all directions, it is difficult to achieve any results.
Besides, Liuli still has such a troublesome blood succession boundary as Sharingan.
The battle between the two in the training ground looked fierce, but due to the speed, if someone was watching here, if the dynamic vision did not reach a certain level, it is estimated that only afterimages would be seen flashing across the eyes, and then there would be metal sounds, and then they would not be able to see anything.
Neither of them need to use the teleportation technique, they can move at high speed with pure physical technique.
It should be said that he is using the instant body technique to fight all the time.
This is the convenience of Taijutsu ninja, but since the speed of Taijutsu is kept at the highest level, the burden on physical strength and body will also increase rapidly.
Fortunately, the bodies of Baishi and Liuli have been improved by natural energy medicine, and their resilience, including resistance, is also superb, allowing them to enter this high-speed combat state for a long time.
This is also the reason why Liuli was able to compete in one-on-two and two-two in the first mission without losing the wind.
There are no more than two junin who are besieging together, including a junin who is proficient in physical arts, and they must be restrained from the front, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat her.
As the battle gradually deepened, Shiraishi's chakra was exhausted and he became short of breath.
Seeing this, Liuli stopped her hands immediately, and Kunai twirled her fingers, and then put them in the ninja bag, ending a long-lost battle.
Compared to using illusions to fight, Liuli prefers physical and ninjutsu, which is a frontal attack.
Probably because this method of fighting is more straightforward.
Therefore, every time she fights Shiraishi with physical skills, she feels much happier.
Only this kind of flesh-and-blood battle can be called the essence of battle.
"It's really useless, it won't work for a long time."
"No way, I'm not like you Uchiha ninjas, Chakra is naturally much stronger than ordinary people."
Especially after awakening Sharingan, Chakra will increase further.
In addition to using Sharingan for a long time, you will be a little tired, but in regular battles, Uchiha ninjas have never been short of Chakra.
"However, I am going to practice natural energy next, and the situation should improve a lot."
"Isn't it already done?"
"That was done in an experiment. I haven't tried to actively absorb natural energy myself. Now the risk is almost minimized, so I will use drugs to assist me, so that I can grasp the feeling of absorbing natural energy."
"Since the risk has become very low, then I want to be together. I can't let you be the only one in front of others."
Liuli also has a huge desire to conquer natural energy.
Natural energy is more powerful than ordinary chakra, even if it cannot be fused with chakra to form fairy chakra, the effect of increasing physical energy is also very important.
Moreover, if you master the way to absorb natural energy, it means that the 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, that's what I planned too."
Baishi did not refuse, rather, it would have been impossible to get to where he is today without the funds, contacts, and location provided by Liuli.
The power of capital is invincible.
If you have trouble with anything, you can't have trouble with money.
Alas...it was obviously created by humans, but humans are enslaved by it. This world is really degenerate.
"Are you planning to go to Ayane's too?"
Liuli walked to the bench outside the training ground, picked up the wet towel there and wiped her face, and then said this sentence out of the blue, the tone was not very cold, but it gave people a very terrible sense of oppression.
"...Ah, well, that's right... because the white eyes have many uses. Ayane also helped me solve a lot of research problems with her white eyes."
Baishi looked away with a guilty conscience.
I thought that after Liuli came to him that day, the matter could be unraveled like this, but he didn't expect to bring it up again, and Baishi was somewhat embarrassed.
Wait, why the embarrassment?
Isn’t it normal for teammates and classmates to help each other?
Shiraishi couldn't help asking rhetorical questions again.
Did I make the problem too complicated?
"Yeah?"
Liuli looked up at the blue sky, then stroked the long black hair beside her ear, turned and left.
Shiraishi stayed where he was thinking.
What does 'is it' mean?
Women's minds are really difficult to understand. Whether it's Ayane or Liuli, their personalities are easy to understand, but sometimes they make people feel inexplicable when they speak.
The ancient saying "a needle in the sea of a woman's heart" is really a famous saying from ancient times.
"Forget it, the most important thing now is to practice natural energy..."
◎
The grass and leaves here are green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, full of vitality.
Surrounded by tall and incomparably tall toad stone statues, this is a place like a paradise—Mt. Miaomu.
Together with Longdi Cave and Shibone Forest, it is called the three holy places of ninja world, and it is also one of the birthplaces of inheriting ancient fairy arts.
Since ancient times, countless powerful ninjas have visited this place, wanting to practice fairy arts. Some people buried this place and became the setting of the toad stone statue in Mt. Miaomu.
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 death of the first Naruto Senjujuma, senjutsu has already become a legend in the ninja world, and it is difficult to determine whether it is true or not.
Up to now, there has never been a ninja who can master the art of immortality, and he shines in the ninja world war.
"The boss of Fukasaku."
That was a human voice that shouldn't appear in the Three Holy Lands Mt. Myogi.
Wearing Konoha’s Jōnin uniform, wearing a Konoha Ninja forehead protector on his head, there are two bright red vertical marks under the corners of his eyes, he is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with white hair, and his face shows the vigorous self-confidence that young people should have.
As soon as he came here, he greeted the toad at the gate of the main hall deep in the deep mountains and birdsong.
This toad was waiting for him in front of the main hall. He was wearing a gray robe, with green skin, and his height was only about the size of a human child, but his body gave off a very extraordinary aura, even though it was still a toad.
"Oh, it's Ziraiya, is it finally here?"
It clearly saw the human youth who came here to greet, and a kind smile appeared on the old face.
This young ninja is none other than Konoha Shinobi Jiraiya who signed a psychic contract with the Three Great Holy Lands, Mt. Myogi.
Together with Tsunade and Orochimaru, he is a powerful ninja of the Sannin.
is also the current disciple of Konoha III Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, an excellent Konoha Jominin who inherited the will of fire thought.
Not long ago, he had just concluded the three-year contract with the Land of Rain, and not long after he returned to Konoha, he was about to go to the front line of the Land of Fire to fight, but he received a message from the Herald Frog from Mt. Miaomu, asking him to come to Mt. Miaomu as soon as possible.
"Well, Boss Fukasaku, what happened? Why did you call me here at this time?"
"I'm sorry to let you come here at such a critical moment, but this is the order of the elder, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Senjin Fukasaku knows that a great war is breaking out in the ninja world, and Konoha is one of the participants. As Konoha's few high-end Jōnin, Jiraiya will naturally go to the front to fight the enemy.
I never meant to blame Fukasaku Sage. As one of the two great sages of Mt. Miaomu, when he was cultivating in Mt. Miaomu, it was also Sage Fukasaku who taught him the art of immortality...even though he failed in the end, he still had no idea about the art of immortality.
However, considering that this is a legendary fairy art, it must be difficult.
He has surpassed many people without turning into a stone toad.
"What, Miss Shima isn't there?"
Jilai also saw that another sage of Miaomu Mountain, Shima, was not there, so he asked.
Senin Shima is the wife of Sage Fukasaku, and also an extremely powerful sage in Mt. Myogi. They are usually inseparable, so I also asked this question.
"She went out to buy vegetables."
"Is that so. In other words, it's the Great Toad Immortal who came to look for me this time, isn't that the case?"
"I don't know the specifics, but this is what the old man ordered. Come in with me."
Senjin Fukasaku led the way ahead, so Jiraiya had no choice but to follow and entered the hall together.
In the huge and magnificent hall, directly in front of the gate, there is an unbelievably large reclining chair, and an equally unfathomably large giant old toad is lying there.
It had a big pipe in its mouth, and even with its eyes closed and dozed off, smoke rings enveloped the hall in circles, filling the hall with clouds and mist, as if in a fairyland.
Immortal Fusaku jumped to the high platform under the big toad's right hand in twos and twos, clasped his hands together, and looked solemn.
Zilai also stood still in front of the big toad, looking up.
No matter when you look at it, this shockingly large toad looks like it is about to die with half of its foot in the coffin.
"Immortal Toad, I'm here."
Zilai also yelled below.
The old toad didn't respond at all, and continued to blow smoke rings with a happy expression.
Sensei Fukasaku's solemn expression didn't last long, he took a deep breath helplessly, turned his head, and used the sensu chakra to spread his voice louder:
"My lord, Zirai has come too!"
Old Toad took a leisurely look at Immortal Fukasaku next to him, and then saw Jiraiya below, and only then did he react.
"Have you brought everyone? Sorry, I almost fell asleep."
"..."
It's not that I almost fell asleep, but I have already fallen asleep.
"Big Toad Immortal, is there something going on this time?"
The Great Toad Immortal is the master of Miaomu Mountain. He has an incredible ability to see the future. He once made prophecies for him and fulfilled them one by one.
Being able to see through the future, it feels like a real fairy is nothing more than that.
Especially after seeing some things in the Land of Rain this time, I firmly believe in the ability of the Great Toad Immortal.
"About this matter, Zilai...what's your name?"
The big toad sage suddenly asked such words, embarrassing both Jiraiya and Fukasaku sage.
"Master, this is Jiraiya. You predicted something for him before, our contractor of Mt. Miaomu."
Immortal Fukasaku had no choice but to add.
"Oh, I remembered, it's Xiao Zilaiya, I almost didn't remember."
To be honest, I never wanted to believe that such a dementia toad could be a so-called fairy.
But the prophecy forced him to believe it.
And Miaomushan's fairy art is also true, not a fabrication.
"Little Ziraiya, I'm looking for you this time, and I have something else for you to do."
"What is it? Is it still about the Son of Prophecy?"
Zilai also thought that only such a big event was worthy of the Great Toad Immortal asking him to come over in person.
"It's not directly related to the Son of Prophecy. It's just that I recently dreamed of a very weird prophecy dream..."
"Weird prophetic dream?"
"Yes, the kind of weirdness that can't be said."
The tone of the Great Toad Immortal still didn't fluctuate much, looking weak as if he was half-dead.
"Then this weirdness is..."
"Accompanied by extremely tragic wars, ninjas will disappear from the world. Death and war will burn throughout the entire ninja world like never before."
"!?"
Jiraiya and Fukasaku Sento were startled.
Even the prophecies of the Son of Prophecy have never been so extreme.
Because the son of prophecy has two results, one is destruction, and the other is newborn peace.
And as long as the child of prophecy is well educated and guided, the probability of peace in the ninja world will be greater.
But this time the result is directly destructive, and there is no room for people to choose.
"That...disappearance means..."
Ji Lai also couldn't accept such a sudden change for a while, and there was urgency on his face.
"That is to say, all the ninjas in the ninja world, including Konoha, will disappear from the ninja world..."
"Konoha...disappeared..."
Jilai also panicked.
When it comes to Konoha, he can no longer calm down.
"The reason? It's the son of prophecy..."
Ji Lai also asked anxiously.
Thinking of staying in the Land of Rain for three years this time, the successor of the Samsara Eye who was accepted as his disciple, Zirai also believes that he is the ninja who will bring changes to the ninja world.
Because it is the reincarnation eye of the Sage of the Six Paths, which is why Jilai also believes in the prophecy of the Sage Toad more and more.
But I spent three years, so I should be able to guide it well enough. Could it be that...
"This matter has nothing to do with the Son of Prophecy."
Hearing what Immortal Toad said, Zilai also heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately not.
"Then why exactly?"
"I have no idea."
Immortal Toad said simply.
"ha?"
I was also confused when I came here.
have no idea?
What kind of answer is this?
"The person who brought absolute destruction to today's ninja world is now among Konoha, you have to investigate carefully. Please, Ziraiya..."
In Konoha! ?
Ji Lai was also surprised.
How is this going? The person who brought destruction to the ninja world is Konoha?
who is it?
Is there such a terrible person among Konoha?
If so, why didn't I notice it at all?
That should be the powerful Konoha ninja.
"Big Toad Immortal, I—"
"Hurrah..."
On the seat, there was only the sweet snoring of the big toad fairy.
Jiraiya, Fukasaku Sage: "..."
Isn’t the prophecy just now a joke dream?
But I think it's impossible. If it was an ordinary dream, the Great Toad Immortal wouldn't be so bored to call him over.
"But Konoha is so big and there are so many ninjas, how can I find them..."
Jiraiya sighed in the hall.
What's more, he is going to the battlefield soon, how can he have time to do this kind of thing?
Besides, it is not sure whether it is a man or a woman. If he wants to check each one, he will not be able to do it even if he is exhausted.
Want to ask Sarutobi-sensei for help? Zilai also began to plan.
