Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 233 Dialogue with Gamamaru!

"Giggle giggle..."

Inside the courtyard, on the frozen lake, Xuan Yixiao was exceptionally happy.

It was indeed very enjoyable to sit in a stroller and ice skate.

Although it is now winter, the temperature is actually not high enough for the lake in the courtyard to freeze over.

This was Xingxia Xiu using Ice Release to freeze the entire lake, making the ice three feet thick.

At that moment, Nawaki stood by the lake, staring at the frozen surface, speechless: "This...this was created by you, brother-in-law, using Ice Release?"

"This is... way too powerful!"

Hyuga Kei nodded in agreement: "As expected of Hide-sensei... Kirigakure's Ice Release Kekkei Genkai simply cannot achieve this level."

When they fought against Kirigakure, they had encountered Ice Release Kekkei Genkai users, but they were far from being able to achieve this level of skill.

Kushina Uzumaki laughed, "Of course it's different. There aren't many people in the ninja world whose chakra can compare to his!"

Erika Uzumaki nodded in agreement.

The strength of ninjutsu is mainly determined by three factors: the amount of chakra, the nature transformation, and the form transformation.

At this moment, Xingxia Xiu stopped with his son, and Shengshu immediately jumped forward, reached out and grabbed his nephew's stroller, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, it's my turn to play with Xuanyi."

When Hoshino saw her son reach out to the rope tree, she smiled and nodded, but cautioned, "Don't play for too long, or you'll catch a cold."

Rope Tree immediately patted his chest and assured, "Brother-in-law, don't worry."

Then Rope Tree took his nephew out of the stroller and slid quickly across the ice.

The baby's laughter rang out again.

Hoshino Shu brought the stroller out of the lake and looked at Uzumaki Erika, saying, "You like children so much, you two should have one soon."

Erika Uzumaki blushed immediately: "Um...it's...it's already prepared."

Hoshino laughed loudly upon hearing this, then handed the stroller to Kushina Uzumaki and left.

At the desk, Tsunade was carefully studying a scroll when she heard footsteps. Looking up, she saw Hoshino Hide enter alone and asked, "Where's Genichi?"

Hoshita Hide approached Tsunade with a smile: "Nawaki has it with him, don't worry."

With one arm around Tsunade's waist, Hoshino gently stroked her.

After giving birth, Tsunade became more voluptuous and felt even better to the touch.

Tsunade noticed the mischievous hand, glared at Hoshino Hide, and then ignored him, focusing on studying the contents of the scroll.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside. Hoshino stopped what he was doing and looked over, only to see Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze approaching together.

"Tsunade, impressive!"

"Teacher Xiu, Lady Tsunade!"

Jiraiya greeted Minato Namikaze.

Hoshino asked the two to sit down and asked with a smile, "Are you setting off for Mount Myōboku?"

Jiraiya nodded: "Let Minato take you there. He has the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although he can't directly enter Mount Myōboku, he can greatly shorten the journey."

Xingxia Xiu nodded, then stood up: "Let's go then, come back soon."

Minato Namikaze stood up: "Jiraiya-sensei, then Hide-sensei and I will head over first."

Jiraiya waved his hand: "You guys go first, I'll use the Reverse Summoning Technique to be faster."

Hoshino Shu and Namikaze Minato immediately set off and disappeared from the room together.

After chatting with Tsunade for a few moments, Jiraiya went out. He first summoned Gamabunta, and then had Gamabunta use the Reverse Summoning Technique to summon him to Mount Myōboku.

the other side.

Minato Namikaze, however, brought Hideaki Hoshino to the foot of a mountain.

"Teacher Xiu, this is the Lost Mountain. The secret passage to Mount Myōboku is inside. However, if you don't know the way beforehand, you won't be able to find it."

Minami Namikaze.

Looking at the unremarkable mountain in front of him, Xingxia Xiu sensed something different: "The magnetic field of this place is very different, no wonder it is called Lost Mountain."

"Disordered magnetic fields can easily disrupt human perception."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze asked in surprise, "Magnetic field? Is it the power of Magnet Release?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "I guess so."

"However, unlike the Kazekage's Magnet Release, which only controls magnetic force."

"You can ask Kakashi about magnetic fields."

Minato Namikaze nodded. Now was not the time to investigate this. He immediately took the lead and entered the Lost Mountain.

Upon entering the mountain, Xingxia Xiu felt his sense of direction become disordered, and it was only after activating Sage Mode that it returned to normal.

No, or rather, it is only by relying on natural perception that it has returned to normal, as one's original five senses are still affected by the magnetic field of this mountain.

This did give the Star Show some inspiration.

If I master Electromagnetic Release in the future and control the power of magnetic fields, then I can develop an Electromagnetic Release ninjutsu that disrupts perception.

In Sage Mode, even natural perception might be interfered with.

A moment later, Minato Namikaze led Shu Hoshino to a pool of water: "Shu-sensei, this is it. Follow me."

Hoshino nodded and followed Minato Namikaze as they leaped into the pool.

As she traversed the pool, Xingxia Xiu keenly sensed the changes in time and space.

This reminded him of the passage to the moon, which was similar.

Before long, the two emerged from the water, and Xingxia Xiu looked up to see a unique and extraordinary sight.

"arrive!"

Minato Namikaze laughed.

"Such abundant natural energy!"

The starry sky was breathtaking.

Once the two reached the shore, they saw Bunta, and Jiraiya standing on Bunta's head.

"Come on up!"

Jiraiya shouted.

Hoshino and Minato leaped onto Gamabunta's head, and Gamabunta immediately turned and leaped towards the core of Mount Myōboku.

Along the way, Xingxia Xiu looked around and saw many petrified toads.

Jiraiya said, "Those are what turned out after failing to cultivate immortal techniques."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "I guessed it."

"arrive!"

Wen Tai stopped: "This is the only way I can take you."

The three descended from above Bunta's head, where the immortals Fukasaku and Shima were already waiting on the stone steps ahead.

"This must be Lord Hoshino Hideaki!"

The immortal was very polite.

Hoshita Hide smiled and nodded: "Fukasaku the Sage, Shima the Sage!"

Shima-sensei looked at Hoshita-shita-shuu: "You know us?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "It's not hard to recognize."

The immortal, Fukasaku, led the way: "Come with us, the master is already waiting."

Xingxia Xiu said politely, "Thank you for your help."

So the three people and two toads headed towards the core of Mount Myōboku and soon arrived in front of the Great Toad Sage.

At this moment, the Great Toad Immortal closed his eyes, and Xingxia Xiu looked up, feeling a pang of sadness.

Gamamaru has aged too!

However, from the time of Kaguya Otsutsuki to the present day, she has lived long enough.

Especially for toads.

This shows that there is still great research value in the field of magic alone.

Even in Immortal Mode, there is still room for further cultivation.

At this moment, Fukasaku woke up Gamamaru, and Hoshishita Hide immediately gathered his thoughts and spoke loudly: "Great Toad Sage, I am Hoshishita Hide from Konoha."

Gamamaru had already forgotten about this, and peered through a crack at Hoshinoshita Hide: "Konoha... young man, have any newcomers signed contracts with us?"

Upon hearing this, Shima-sensei couldn't help but remark, "That old man is completely senile!"

Both Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze were in an awkward position.

Sweat rolled down the forehead of the sage, and he quickly explained.

It took Gamamaru a while to remember, and he laughed, "Oh, I see."

"Young man, you've come to see me because of the Sage of Six Paths. What is it that you wish to know?"

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "I learned that the ancestors of the Uchiha clan were descendants of the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths. The Uchiha clan in Konoha has a stone tablet that is said to have been left by the Sage of Six Paths. It records the methods for awakening and advancing the Sharingan, and even the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"However, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it records the method to obtain the power of all things in the universe, which is the Rinnegan."

"The Great Toad Sage should know that the Sage of Six Paths also possesses the Rinnegan."

The Great Toad Sage's eyes widened slightly: "The Rinnegan, huh? The Sage of Six Paths does indeed possess the Rinnegan."

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Uchiha Madara has also awakened the Rinnegan. He is still carrying out a plan called the Eye of the Moon."

"This plan is recorded on the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths. It is said to be a method left by the Sage of Six Paths that can bring peace to the ninja world."

The latest novel is first published here!

"That is, to collect all the tailed beasts and transform them into the Ten-Tails, and then use the ultimate genjutsu, Infinite Tsukuyomi, to pull everyone in the ninja world into an illusion."

Upon hearing this, Master Shima couldn't help but ask, "Would anyone believe such a thing?"

Hoshino Hideyoshi said, "Uchiha Madara believed it."

"Although I defeated Uchiha Madara, the Eye of the Moon Project makes me very uneasy. I feel that there is more to it than meets the eye."

"I don't know what kind of person the Sage of Six Paths is, but even by common sense, this Eye of the Moon plan is very illogical."

Gamamaru said, "The Sage of Six Paths wouldn't have left behind something like that. Well, I didn't know such a thing existed either."

"Project Eye of the Moon may be related to a terrifying entity."

Jiraiya and the others were all taken aback.

"A terrifying existence?"

Jiraiya quickly asked, "Great Toad Sage, what terrifying being is that?"

Who could be someone that the Great Toad Sage calls a terrifying being?

Gamamaru's eyes widened further, and he recalled events from a thousand years ago. After a while, he said, "That terrifying being was the mother of the Sage of Six Paths."

Jiraiya's eyes widened upon hearing this: "The Sage of Six Paths' mother?"

Xingxia Xiu feigned a serious expression: "As expected, there's still a conspiracy hidden."

"The Sage of Six Paths' mother was named Kaguya Otsutsuki, wasn't she?"

Gamamaru was somewhat surprised: "Young man, you actually know her?"

Hoshino nodded: "We found some clues. In the history of the ninja world, someone deliberately concealed the traces of her existence."

Gamamaru said, "This is, after all, a very long time ago."

There were no ninjas back then.

"The Sage of Six Paths and his brother fought against Kaguya Otsutsuki and finally sealed her away."

Jiraiya and the others were dumbfounded.

This is so melodramatic.

For a son to hit his mother is utterly outrageous.

"Um, why did the Sage of Six Paths and the others seal away their own mother?"

Jiraiya asked.

Gamamaru said, "Because of the Divine Tree... oh, you could also say the Ten-Tails."

"The divine tree takes root in the earth, absorbing natural energy, which weakens the earth's power."

"Furthermore, Kaguya Otsutsuki made a large number of people sacrifice themselves to the Divine Tree."

Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze exchanged bewildered glances.

Hoshita Hideyoshi said, "So, the so-called Eye of the Moon Project... is a conspiracy to unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"Was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki... sealed away on the moon?"

Gamamaru gave an affirmative answer: "Yes."

Jiraiya turned to look at Hoshita Hide: "Hide, Madara Uchiha is dead, so the Eye of the Moon Plan is doomed, right?"

"Although the Rinnegan is still there, it's under your control."

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "It's not that simple."

"There's something wrong with the stone tablet from the Uchiha clan. The Sage of Six Paths wouldn't have left behind a stone tablet like that."

"So..."

Minato Namikaze interjected, "Are you saying, Hide-sensei, that someone is orchestrating all of this?"

Hoshino nodded: "That's right, I sense that there's someone else lurking in the shadows behind Uchiha Madara."

"Even the chaotic wars between the Senju and Uchiha clans during the Warring States period, and the numerous Shinobi World Wars, all showed signs of being manipulated."

This shocked Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.

Hoshino continued, "The ancestors of the Senju and Uchiha clans were the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths. They were originally brothers, but they have been fighting each other for the past thousand years."

"Great Toad Sage, do you know why?"

Gamamaru: "Well... it all started with the Ninja Cult founded by the Sage of Six Paths."

"That was a long time ago."

"The Sage of Six Paths had two sons, Indra and Ashura. Indra admired strength, while Ashura could unite others... In the end, the Sage of Six Paths chose Ashura to inherit the Ninjutsu sect. Indra was dissatisfied, so the brothers turned against each other."

Gamamaru spoke very briefly, but Jiraiya and the others listened with great interest.

After hearing the story, Minato Namikaze immediately asked, "Does the Great Toad Sage know who is controlling everything?"

Gamamaru said, "I didn't see this in my dream!"

"So, this is where you young people need to work hard."

"Hmm, is there anything else you want to ask?"

As he spoke, his eyes slowly closed.

Jiraiya hurriedly shouted, "Um, Kaguya Otsutsuki is sealed on the moon. Is there any way to completely eliminate her?"

"Also, how strong is she?"

Gamamaru slowly said, "Kaguya Otsutsuki came from outer space. There might be a way to kill her, but I don't know it."

"As for her strength, it is extremely powerful. Only by finding the Chosen One can one fight against her."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze exclaimed in surprise, "Even Hide-sensei can't defeat him?"

Before Gamamaru could answer, Hoshishita Hide said, "I am no match for him."

Gamamaru said, "That's the realm of gods!"

After saying that, Gamamaru closed his eyes.

After leaving Gamamaru, Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze both looked very serious.

Suddenly, Jiraiya said, "Minato, you and Hide go back to Konoha. I'm going on a trip and won't be returning to Konoha."

He's going to find the chosen one!

Minato Namikaze nodded, offering no further advice.

After thinking for a moment, Hoshino Shizuku did not stop Jiraiya.

Upon returning to Konoha from Mount Myōboku, Minato Namikaze suddenly asked, "Shū-sensei, what do we do next?"

He did not want to place his hopes on a chosen one who was yet to be revealed.

Jiraiya once said that he was the chosen one, but he clearly wasn't.

He even suspected Hoshino Shige, but Hoshino Shige could never be a match for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Looking at the heavy-hearted Minato Namikaze, Hideaki Hoshino patted him on the shoulder: "Let's do what we have to do."

"Continuously strengthen yourself!"

Minato Namikaze nodded earnestly, "Yes, I understand!"
