[Chapter 32. The Serpent of Prophecy, Chaos in the Hidden Cloud Village]

The Ninja World is located in a vast valley surrounded by a forest.

The area is covered in lush green grass, blooming flowers, and mushrooms of all colors.

These plants have one thing in common: they are big, extraordinarily big!

A single weed is at least as tall as a one-story building, and a mushroom is as big as a single apartment room.

The space is filled with rich natural energy.

If Bai Yu were to come here, he would probably be amazed by the incredibly dense and intoxicating energy particles.

This place is the site of countless legends in the ninja world, but few people have been able to reach the sacred land of summoning beasts—Mount Myoboku.

Mount Myōboku, along with Shikkotsu Forest and Ryūchi Cave, is known as one of the three sacred sites. It is home to the Toad Clan, a powerful summoning beast clan coveted by countless ninjas, and one of the three summoning beast clans that possess the inheritance of Sage Mode.

Since the Warring States period hundreds of years ago, countless ninjas have sought to obtain immortal techniques.

Countless powerful individuals have fallen on the path of cultivating immortal arts.

Legends of Sage Mode have circulated throughout the ninja world, but it was the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who truly made the world understand the power of Sage Mode.

This man, whom the ninjas called "God," fought an earth-shattering battle with Madara Uchiha, turning the largest mountain range in the Land of Fire into the "Valley of the End."

The temple in the center of Mount Myoboku is the abode of immortals. In the open space outside the temple, there is a circle of huge toad statues, which are traces left by humans who failed in their attempts to cultivate immortality.

At this moment, a toad, about the size of a one- or two-year-old baby, appeared at the entrance of the temple. Its skin was light green, and its whiskers and hair were all white, making it look very old.

It brought its forelimbs together in front of its body and then performed hand seals like a ninja.

Bang!

A cloud of smoke rose, and a yellow toad about half a meter tall appeared in the smoke.

"Lord Fukasaku." The yellow-skinned toad bowed respectfully to the old toad.

"Shin, go and inform Jiraiya to come to Mount Myōboku. The Great Sage has a new prophecy."

He said in a deep voice.

Mount Myōboku has a history spanning over a thousand years, and the most revered among its inhabitants is the Great Toad Sage, who lived in the same era as the legendary Sage of Six Paths. Next in line are Fukasaku and Shima, a couple who have lived for hundreds of years.

The Great Toad Immortal is old and frail, and spends most of his time sleeping. Fukasaku and Shima take over the management of the seedlings on the back mountain.

Jiraiya was the successor of the Myoboku Mountain lineage in the ninja world, and Fukasaku was Jiraiya's Sage Mode teacher.

"Yes!" Gama Shin accepted the order and immediately left Mount Myōboku to notify the communication toads outside.

Less than an hour later, a tall, white-haired young man appeared in the valley; he was none other than Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.

Jiraiya adopted three orphans, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, in the Land of Rain and carefully guided them for three years. However, due to the renewed war between Sunagakure and Konoha, he had to part ways with his three beloved students after receiving a message.

Unexpectedly, he learned of Nawaki's serious injury as soon as he arrived in the Land of Fire.

Jiraiya originally intended to return to the village to comfort Tsunade, but unexpectedly received a message from Mount Myōboku.

Jiraiya firmly believed in the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.

After all, his previous predictions were very accurate.

Therefore, Jiraiya gave up returning to the village and went directly to Mount Myōboku.

"Lord Fukasaku." Jiraiya approached Fukasaku and bowed respectfully.

"Little Jiraiya, come with me, the Great Sage is waiting for you."

Fukasaku smiled slightly and led Jiraiya into the temple.

Deep within the open-air temple, there stood an enormous throne, shaped like a bowl, with the character "仙" (immortal) inscribed on its front.

The giant toad, as big as a small mountain, lay back on its throne. Its eyes were slightly cloudy, its skin was somewhat loose, and its face was full of wrinkles, making it look like it was not far from dying of old age.

This is the ancestor of Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage who has lived for over a thousand years.

"Great Immortal, Jiraiya has been brought along."

Fukasaku led Jiraiya to the foot of the throne and respectfully said...

However, the giant toad sage looked drowsy and seemed somewhat tired.

"Old man, wake up!"

At that moment, an elderly toad with purple curly hair jumped out from under the throne; it was none other than Shima, Fukasaku's wife.

"Old man!"

When Shima saw that the Great Toad Sage didn't react, he immediately raised his voice.

"Hmm...hmm?" The Great Toad Sage woke up from his slumber, glancing down at Jiraiya below. "Oh, it's Jiraiya...who are you?"

"...Great Sage, it is Jiraiya." Jiraiya's lips twitched. After not seeing him for several years, the Great Sage's memory had gotten even worse.

"Yes! You're Jiraiya." The Great Toad Sage nodded, then paused for a moment, "What are you doing here?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

If Jiraiya hadn't witnessed the scene before him, he might have thought the Great Toad Sage was putting on a show.

However, this seemingly senile toad sage never made a mistake in his predictions.

"Great Immortal, didn't you have a new dream prophecy? That's why you summoned Jiraiya."

Deep reminder.

“I remember now.” The Great Toad Sage’s cloudy eyes suddenly became much clearer, and he looked at Jiraiya with a serious expression. “Jiraiya, I dreamed of a snake.”

"snake?!"

Jiraiya immediately thought of Orochimaru, because Orochimaru had signed a contract with Ryuchi Cave, one of the three great holy lands.

What kind of snake?

"A giant serpent so large that it had no boundaries swallowed the whole world."

"How could this be?!" Fukasaku and Shima exclaimed in unison. Could it be those stinky snakes from Ryuchi Cave?

"Whether the Child of Prophecy brings disaster or peace to the ninja world, there is still hope for the world."

But if a giant snake appears in a dream, who knows what the consequences would be?

"Jiraiya, this matter can only be investigated by you."

The words of the Great Toad Sage made Jiraiya feel as if he were carrying a thousand-pound burden on his shoulders.

He finally learned about the prophesied son and led him onto the right path, but now a "serpent" has appeared.

Could it really be Orochimaru?!

Although Orochimaru was a bit cold, he was definitely not a bad person, Jiraiya was very certain of this, and his prophecies were never wrong.

What should I do?

......

The Land of Lightning, outside the Hidden Cloud Village.

A deafening explosion was heard from the direction of Yunlei Gorge.

The fire is soaring!

Then came the roars of ferocious beasts.

And the ninja's screams—

"what!"

"We can't let Brubi leave before Lord Raikage arrives!"

"Why did the Eight-Tails go out of control?!"

"Brubi! Wake up! Damn it!"

More than a dozen Cloud Village Jonin arrived first and surrounded the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Burubi.

Brubi was completely enveloped in a black and red chakra cloak, his eyes were murky, and he had completely lost his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly screamed and his body rapidly expanded, transforming directly from human form into a complete tailed beast.

boom!

The small tailed beast, Tama, exploded nearby.

......

At the same time, on the other side, at the estuary of Yunlei Gorge in the opposite direction.

A tall, slender young man with long black hair suddenly emerged from the surging sea, clutching a half-meter-long horn in his hand.

"Cough cough..."

Orochimaru looked pained and coughed violently, covering his mouth.

His fair face was deathly pale, almost like that of a dead man.

Unexpectedly, after the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki took his specially made genjutsu pill, the Eight-Tails also went out of control and suddenly attacked him before going berserk, an attack that almost took half his life.

Orochimaru took a deep look at Yunlei Gorge, and as he listened to the huge explosion, a hint of crazy pleasure flashed in his eyes.

He then carefully put away the horn in his hand and left the place.

......

Three days later, astonishing news spread throughout the ninja world.

The Eight-Tails of Kumogakure inexplicably went out of control.

In this battle, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Burubi, died on the spot, eight elite Jonin were killed, and dozens of Jonin were injured to varying degrees.

The Third Raikage fought the Eight-Tails for a day and a night, eventually collapsing from exhaustion.
