The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Therefore, upon hearing that the Great Toad Sage had finally made a new prophecy.

Jiraiya's eyes lit up, and a rare surge of excitement welled up within him.

"Is there really a prophecy? Then take me there quickly, Fukasaku-saku!"

Jiraiya also hurriedly replied.

This is Jiraiya's simplicity, and also his tragedy, because it seems that Jiraiya now lives entirely by relying on the prophecy of Mount Myōboku. Without the prophecy of that great toad of Mount Myōboku, it seems that he cannot do anything.

This is, in fact, a sign of cowardice.

Jiraiya himself simply didn't notice this.

"Ah."

A massive mountain range that spirals upwards.

Unlike other toads that mostly live on the plains below Mount Myoboku, the ancestor of the toad clan of Mount Myoboku, the great sage Gamamaru, lives alone at the highest peak of Mount Myoboku.

The toad clan of Mount Myōboku built a giant palace for their ancestor. For hundreds of years, Gamamaru has lived there almost without ever leaving the palace.

For a thousand years, apart from a few times when he left Mount Myōboku to visit his old friends, Gamamaru always seemed to be exploring the void, and he always looked like he was sleepy.

He is a ninja who has made a pact with Mount Myōboku for decades.

Jiraiya was already familiar with the personality of this toad sage.

As Jiraiya followed Fukasaku into that enormous palace, he was already mentally prepared for a long wait.

This time, however, it was clearly completely different from what Jiraiya had expected.

The Great Toad Sage did not appear as usual half-asleep; instead, he wore an extremely stern expression the moment Jiraiya entered the palace.

Before Jiraiya and Fukasaku could say anything, Jiraiya and Fukasaku were about to speak.

Gamamaru spoke first, saying, "Jiraiya, I dreamt of the destruction of the world. A terrifying crimson figure covered in blood will bring unpredictable dangers to this world. There may be new changes, but more likely it will be a harbinger of destruction."

And that first word was a bombshell!

A blood-soaked, crimson figure.

Unpredictable dangers.

And most importantly, the signs of the impending world's destruction!

The moment Gamamaru finished speaking, Jiraiya's expression changed involuntarily as the image flashed through his mind.

It's directly matched with the vortex surface.

"Great Toad Sage, could that figure you mentioned be Uzumaki Menma?"

Jiraiya was someone who couldn't keep secrets, let alone something involving the world peace and destruction prophesied at Mount Myōboku, which was also closely related to Minato's other child, Uzumaki Menma.

It was almost entirely based on instinct.

Jiraiya's question came out directly.

"It's not entirely certain yet, but judging from what Fukasaku, Shima, and Jiraiya yourself have said, that Uzumaki Menma is indeed very likely the figure in the prophecy, and the biggest obstacle to the Child of Prophecy's actions, the biggest problem you must face. That figure's resentment towards the world is too great, so great that no one can eliminate it. His choices and actions cannot be said to be necessarily wrong, but in a high probability, they will bring a future of destruction to the world, rather than a future of peace."

Gamamaru sighed softly, and a solemn expression appeared in his turbid eyes, which seemed to have accumulated over a thousand years.

As native creatures of this planet.

Gamamaru is a representative of the kind of people who are most resistant to extraterrestrial visitors—the 'Otsutsuki clan,' who are plunderers from another planet and the common enemy of all life on their planet.

It was based on this that he helped, or rather encouraged, the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers to rebel against Kaguya a thousand years ago, and then sealed away the goddess of the rabbit. Now, a thousand years later, the world that was supposed to be on the road to peace has become more and more chaotic.

But Gamamaru remained convinced that his path was the right one.

His so-called prophetic son.

In fact, they all correspond to the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra in each generation.

It's just that Gamamaru didn't say it very directly.

prophecy?

That's a joke. If it were possible to predict the future, the world would be at peace long ago.

Ultimately, Gamamaru is merely a special creature that can perfectly absorb natural energy and has the highest level of mastery over immortal techniques.

They're not gods.

How dare you be so arrogant!

Only someone like Jiraiya would believe that.

In fact, as soon as Gamamaru finished speaking, Jiraiya's expression turned very serious.

An entity that cannot be persuaded is, in a high probability, a dangerous entity that will bring about the root of destruction to the world.

"I understand what you mean, Great Toad Sage. Don't worry, I will definitely stop all of this from happening."

Jiraiya took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

"Well, I'll leave everything to you, Jiraiya. Oh, right, there's also information about the Child of Prophecy. I received another hint in my dream, and today I can tell you definitively that Naruto Namikaze is the Child of Prophecy who will bring about the right changes to the world. He is the one who is right."

Gamamaru stared intently at Jiraiya with his enormous frog eyes and spoke in a very firm tone.

The world that Hagoromo Otsutsuki longed for was the same world that Gamamaru wanted to see.

Therefore, Ashura's will, which inherited Hagoromo's beliefs and was passed down from generation to generation, is the will that Gamamaru acknowledges.

Whose body does Ashura's chakra possess?

Who is that prophetic child?

As someone who had a close relationship with Hagoromo, Gamamaru was able to determine who possessed Ashura's chakra.

Previously, we had to play a game of charades.

We don't need it now, and we can't delay any longer.

Although it's still unclear what Menma's true intentions were, Gamamaru always felt a sense of crisis.

It's still the right thing to do to keep everything under the control of 'Asura'!

Chapter 427 Jiraiya's Stubbornness

A prophecy that brings hope.

To exaggerate a bit, this prophecy could be considered the reason for Jiraiya's survival. When he heard from Gamamaru that the child of prophecy was indeed Naruto, one can imagine the emotions Jiraiya felt.

"Is this true, Great Immortal?"

Jiraiya widened his eyes and unconsciously raised his voice to the maximum.

"Little Jiraiya, you mustn't be rude."

Fukasaku, who was sitting on one side, also quickly spoke up.

"Hehe, it's alright, Fukasaku. Yes, Jiraiya, I can tell you for sure that the Child of Prophecy is Namikaze Naruto. He has unlimited potential, and his future is destined to bring positive significance to the world. He is the one who will lead the world onto the right path. This is also the destiny between the brothers. All you need to do is assist the Child of Prophecy to correct Uzumaki Menma's wrong path and let the world return to the right path."

Gamamaru continued to praise Naruto relentlessly.

The one who fully inherited the ideology of the Hagoromo Ninja Clan and truly practiced universal love for all was Gamamaru, an existence that the toad clan of Mount Myōboku would unswervingly support.

Although, looking at the history of the past thousand years, Asura's greatest enemy should still be his brother Indra, there have been some changes in this generation, but the principle remains the same.

Gamamaru doesn't need to care who the enemy is.

It's enough to just identify who Asura is.

"I understand what you mean, Great Immortal! Please rest assured and leave everything to me."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed an unwavering determination, all of his previous confusion vanishing at that moment.

A prophecy that has already been established.

So, for the safety of Konoha and for the realization of true world peace, Jiraiya was willing to risk everything!

"Go, Jiraiya. The entire Mount Myōboku will stand with you and the Child of Prophecy. Go and save the world. Peace is in your hands."

At this moment, Gamamaru's frog eyes became incredibly deep, and the words he spoke slowly seemed to carry endless magic.

This allowed Jiraiya to become completely immersed in it.

Jiraiya, whose heart had become incredibly resolute once again, had completely lost his previous confusion as he left the palace that belonged exclusively to Gamamaru.

Especially when it became clear that Naruto was the child of prophecy.

Jiraiya's enthusiasm was immediately reignited.

Naruto's personality is very similar to mine.

This is something Jiraiya can be certain of.

Gamamaru's words were a huge reassurance to Jiraiya, and more importantly, they indirectly proved that Naruto was indeed still alive. Otherwise, how could Naruto still be the child of prophecy?

As for how the formula for Gamamaru was determined...

What exactly is this so-called dream prophecy?

Why would freckles bring about a devastating crisis to the world?

Jiraiya never considered it.

It seems that unconditionally believing in Mount Myōboku is a matter of course.

Jiraiya regarded almost every word of this toad sage as golden rules.

It was as if Jiraiya was born to live for the prophecy of Mount Myōboku.

It's unclear whether Jiraiya truly sought to create a peaceful world where people understood each other, or if he simply fell into some kind of 'dream trap'.

At least for now, it seems that Jiraiya truly has no independent consciousness whatsoever.

"Jiraiya, although there is the prophecy of the Great Sage that everything should return to the right path, the process is still extremely dangerous. That Uzumaki Menma is no ordinary person. In the previous battle, he must have held back. We must treat him as a terrifying guy like Uchiha Madara. Do you understand what I mean?"

The peak that was being stepped away from.

Jiraiya would then have to directly cancel the Reverse Summoning Technique and return to the ninja world.

Fukasaku also leaped out quickly from inside, his frog eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity as he looked at Jiraiya and said.
