Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 251 The Great Toad Immortal: I have staked my authority over natural energy on the Child of Prophecy!

Mt. Miaomu.

The changes in Iwagaku Village and Ryuchi Cave had a tremendous impact on the ecosystem of Mt. Myoboku.

The most obvious change is that there are fewer plump and juicy insects, and this number will continue to decrease over time, forcing many toads to spend more time hunting.

Master Shima was watching with growing anxiety. However, the decline in the natural energy concentration of Mount Myōboku was something that could not be changed by human intervention.

The total amount of natural energy in the ninja world is fixed. Originally, only the three holy lands shared the natural energy, but Iwagakure suddenly rose to prominence and joined the ranks of those sharing the natural energy.

The total amount of natural energy remains the same, but the number of people dividing it has increased. Therefore, the amount of natural energy allocated to each holy site has naturally decreased.

"Old man, think of something quickly!" Shima-sensei said with a hint of anxiety.

"What can I do? Lead the children to attack Iwagakure too? Don't forget Ryuchi Cave was already destroyed by the Sand and Iwa ninja. If things go wrong, Mount Myōboku will suffer the same fate!"

Upon hearing Fukasaku's words, Shima fell silent.

Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myoboku have a considerable grudge, but the sudden annihilation of a force of similar strength by a ninja village still made Shima feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Suddenly, Fukasaku looked up, as if he had sensed something, and pulled Shima along, running towards the Great Toad Sage's palace.

"The Great Toad Sage has awakened. Let's go and pay our respects."

"Is the Great Toad Sage making another prophecy?"

"I don't know, but it must be something important. Otherwise, the Great Toad Sage wouldn't have forcibly woken up from his deep slumber, which would have been a huge burden on his body."

At this point, a deep look of worry flashed across Fukasaku's eyes.

Whatever can force the Toad Sage to awaken from his deep slumber must be something big!

And it's very likely not a good thing!

Fukasaku and Shima soon arrived at the Great Toad Master's residence.

Master Shima spoke first, asking, "Great Toad Sage, have you made another prophecy? Should we bring Jiraiya along?"

The Great Toad Sage shook his head and said, "The future is completely blurred, and I can't see it clearly either. I can only see some things that are not far off, and even then, prophecy is becoming increasingly difficult."

"What happened shortly after that, and what should we do?" Fukasaku asked solemnly.

"We're afraid we'll have to move away from Mount Myoboku."

"Great Toad Sage, you're getting senile!" Shima Sage was so angry at the Great Toad's words that he almost jumped up and down.

The Great Toad Sage first sighed, then said in a low voice, "I saw that soon after, one mountain after another on Mount Myōboku collapsed, and one giant toad after another was suppressed under the earth. The entire Mount Myōboku was filled with snakes, which fought fiercely with the toads and fought for territory."

Both Fukasaku and Shima were stunned by what the Great Toad Sage said.

"Ryuchi Cave has already been destroyed by the Sand and Iwa ninjas, and even the White Snake Sage is dead. How could there still be large groups of snakes attacking Mount Myōboku?!"

"I did hope the White Serpent Sage was dead, but unfortunately, he wasn't completely dead. The resurrected White Serpent Sage desperately needs a lot of natural energy to recover, and Mount Myōboku is his best choice. Soon, he will make his move on Mount Myōboku."

Upon hearing the words of the Great Toad Sage, Shima no longer felt any sense of shared sorrow, but only regretted that Ryuchi Cave hadn't been wiped out more cleanly!

"Since the White Serpent Sage has already suffered severe injuries, its strength must not be at its peak. We still have a chance," Fukasaku Sage said in a deep voice.

"No, the White Serpent Sage's strength probably hasn't decreased much. Although Ryuchi Cave was destroyed, the authority over the natural energy of the earth belonging to Ryuchi Cave has remained unchanged. Otherwise, the natural energy concentration of Mount Myōboku should have increased and returned to its original level."

"Moreover, in my prophecy, the White Serpent Sage has become even more powerful for some reason, and even when I used the natural energy of the sky, I was unable to stop him."

The Great Toad Sage's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the hearts of Fukasaku and Shima Sages.

Don't let the appearance of the Great Toad Sage, who looks old and frail and needs to be supported by a toad to take a few steps, fool you. He is the strongest being on Mount Myōboku!

If even the Great Toad Sage couldn't stop the White Snake Sage, then it's even less likely that they could.

Seeing the gloomy expressions on Fukasaku and Shima's faces, the Great Toad Sage continued:

"Let's abandon Mount Myōboku and find another place to thrive. I will also relinquish control over the natural energy of the sky. Otherwise, we might be hunted down by the White Serpent Sage, with less than one in ten surviving."

"Isn't this too extreme? Perhaps it hasn't come to that yet. The authority over natural energy is the foundation of Mount Myōboku!" I, Shima, want to try and negotiate.

"It doesn't matter. I've staked the authority of natural energy on the Child of Prophecy!" the Great Toad Sage said slowly.

"The Child of Prophecy? Is it Minato? Then do we need to go to Konoha?" Fukasaku speculated, combining the Great Toad Sage's previous prophecies.

"The child of prophecy is in Konoha. Even if it's not Minato, it's closely related to him. From now on, you will follow Jiraiya and Minato."

"As long as we can find the Child of Prophecy, Mount Myōboku will prosper again. All the calamities we are suffering now are nothing but fleeting clouds," the Great Toad Sage said calmly.

The sage opened his mouth, as if to say that the future had become unclear and the prophecy was no longer accurate.

But he didn't say it out loud. If Mount Myoboku lost hope, it would probably never recover.

"Giving up Mount Myōboku may not be a bad thing, as Mount Myōboku has already been targeted by many human forces."

"Originally, the ninja world was mainly about human conflict, and summoning beasts were just another kind of combat tool in the hands of humans."

"The attack on Iwagakure by Ryuchi Cave alarmed the Five Great Nations and some hidden forces, making humanity wary."

"If a single sacred site for summoning beasts is this powerful, what about the others? If we don't figure this out, humanity will likely have no peace of mind."

"In Shikkotsu Forest, there is only the Slug Sage, with no other members. He is very low-key and mysterious, which may allow him to ignore human probing. But we at Mount Myōboku cannot do that."

The Great Toad Immortal said helplessly, "The White Snake Immortal's actions have suddenly pushed the three holy lands into the eye of the storm."

What was originally just an internal conflict between human villages has suddenly escalated into a racial conflict between humans and spirit beasts.

Although conflicts between humans have not disappeared, there is now more to consider when they break out.

If all five great ninja villages are severely weakened, will the three holy lands come to occupy the ninja world?

They only wanted to gain more benefits for their village, not to let humans become slaves to the summoned beasts!

Therefore, abandoning Mount Myōboku can reduce the threat posed by summoned beasts to humans.

With two of the three holy sites gone, humanity naturally stopped paying attention to them.

"I understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible," Fukasaku said in a deep voice.

Hopefully, the Great Toad Sage has made the right bet this time, and the Child of Prophecy will be able to help Mount Myōboku reclaim everything it has lost!

Otherwise, without the authority over natural energy, Mount Myōboku would not be able to become a sacred place for summoning beasts again, surpassing all ordinary summoning beast forces!
