Chapter 358 The Great Toad Immortal

Time flies, like the night Kaguya and the Emperor grew up.

[After the two alien brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura, grew up, they went out to help the villagers solve a problem one day. They were then lured by a wretched old frog, who turned out to be the future Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.]

"Ha~ How come this toad has lived this long?"

Tobirama Senju always held the belief that those who are not of his kind must have different intentions, and he was very wary of this toad.

Just look at how Jiraiya was fooled in later generations, and you'll know that this old man was definitely not as kind, benevolent, and indifferent to worldly affairs as he appeared on the surface.

Turning around, Tobirama Senju asked Jiraiya, "Has this old toad been sending you to find some chosen one lately?"

Jiraiya shook his head and replied, "No, it says that fate has begun to change, and even it can't see it clearly anymore."

"Tsk tsk, it even knows when fate changes. Looks like this toad is quite capable."

When the topic of fate came up, Madara Uchiha became quite interested.

According to the original trajectory, he would have his heart ripped out from behind by Black Zetsu when the Infinite Tsukuyomi succeeded.

He utterly loathed this fate.

These people only learned about their respective destinies through the video on the light screen, so how could that toad possibly glimpse a corner of their fate?

This is something that everyone should think about deeply.

"Tobirama brat, how about we catch this toad so you can study it?"

"Madara, do you want to start a war with Mount Myōboku?"

"Go to war?"

Ban chuckled and continued, "A war is only called a war when the forces are evenly matched. When one side's strength is significantly greater than the other's, that's not a war, that's a crushing defeat!"

Seeing that Madara Uchiha really wanted to catch the giant toad, Jiraiya became extremely anxious.

In any case, Mount Myōboku taught him a great deal, and even his Sage Techniques were not kept secret.

He simply couldn't bear to watch the devastation that would ravage Mount Myoboku.

"Mr. Madara, isn't what you're doing a bit too domineering?"

Madara glanced at Jiraiya but ignored him.

Perhaps Jiraiya will become very strong in the future, and if he can use Sage Mode, he will be qualified to stand on the opposite side of Madara, but right now he is just a child who is not yet eighteen years old.

There are only a handful of people who could earn Madara Uchiha's respect, and Jiraiya was clearly not among them.

"Let's forget it. With the unification of the ninja world imminent, there's no need for us to create unnecessary trouble."

After considering Madara's suggestion, Tobirama declined.

"Alright, we can catch the old toad after the ninja world is unified and at peace."

This time, Tobirama Senju didn't refuse, but silently nodded.

The matter was settled, and Jiraiya was so anxious that blisters started appearing on his lips.

Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. Seeing his friend pacing anxiously, Orochimaru approached Jiraiya and whispered, "Idiot, the reason the Hokage postponed this until after unifying the ninja world was to give you time to inform Mount Myōboku, wasn't it?"

"what?"

"What do you mean 'ah'? If Mount Myōboku is sensible, it will naturally send frogs to handle this matter after you notify them. That would be fulfilling your duty."

"You're so smart."

"Absolutely!"

Compared to Madara's "malicious" thoughts in the second timeline, Jiraiya in the third timeline was much calmer.

"Jiraiya, did you know that the Great Toad Sage has lived for so long?"

Upon hearing the question from the Third Hokage, Jiraiya shook his head and replied, "I don't know. I only know that it is very old and spends a lot of time sleeping every day, so it doesn't have much time to be awake."

Orochimaru clicked his tongue twice and replied, "If this is what immortality is like, then I'd rather not have it."

In a 24-hour day, the Great Toad Sage sleeps for at least 23 hours or even more, and is only awake for a very short time.

Regardless of what others think, Orochimaru certainly doesn't want this kind of immortality.

"By the way, Jiraiya, did you ask the Great Toad Sage any questions about the Sage of Six Paths or anything like that?"

Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, who was speaking, nodded, then shook his head, and said, "I thought about asking the Great Toad Sage, but every time I go, it's asleep. What can I do? I can't exactly throw a Fire Dragon Flame Bullet at it and force it to wake up, can I?"

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"That's such a pity. The Great Toad Sage who came from that era must know a lot of inside information that we don't."

"Old man, give up. Even if the Great Toad Immortal dares to say it, would you dare to believe him? Who knows if what he says is true?"

"Hehe, it seems you've grown up, Jiraiya. You wouldn't have spoken like this before."

With a sigh, Jiraiya occasionally reflected on his past, wondering if he had been too obedient to the Great Toad Sage.

As we can see from "Naruto," his final ending, despite his constant search for the chosen one in the ninja world, was not a happy one.

In addition, he was the Hokage of Konoha at the time, and being in that position meant he had to do what was expected of him.

Ultimately, the Great Toad Sage is just a toad with prophetic abilities. Although he has been kind enough to teach him, he is not his father, and he doesn't have to listen to everything the toad says.

The toad sage told the two brothers about Kaguya, and the two boys and the toad got along quite well, preparing to debut under the name "Six Paths Boys."

[Soon after, Hagoromo heard stories of Kaguya's tyrannical behavior from other places, and subsequently, the alien brother began to harbor resentment towards his elderly mother, Kaguya.]

One day, Hagoromo's first love, Hagoromo, received a notice instructing her to make offerings to the sacred tree.

Seeing this, the two brothers were very unhappy with their mother's actions.

[The two, dissatisfied, decided to go to the Divine Tree themselves to find out what was going on while Kaguya was out, since the Divine Tree was usually a forbidden area and people were not allowed to enter freely.]

[The two alien brothers found the already lifeless Hagoromo under the Divine Tree, which angered our Hagoromo, causing him to awaken his Sharingan.]

Not long after, the old rascal from the Rokudo Boys group jumped out again and began brainwashing Hagoromo and Hamura.

"Brainwashing is not a good word."

Izuna agreed with Tobirama's words and continued, "It seems that it also has its own purpose, which is most likely to turn the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers against Kaguya. But what benefit would it gain from doing so? Kaguya didn't use those frogs to create White Zetsu; it could have simply stood by and watched."

"What are you saying? Couldn't it just be a frog overflowing with a sense of justice, unable to bear seeing human suffering?"

"If what you say is true, Hashirama, then the light screen wouldn't use the word 'brainwashing'."

"Hmm, it seems this frog does indeed have some big secrets to hide."
