The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

He is the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

Under the condition that one can perfectly utilize the power of the Nine-Tails.

Uzumaki Menma was already one of the top beings in the ninja world. Although they were all tailed beasts, the difference between them was enormous. Fukasaku himself was an old man who had lived for hundreds of years, so how could he not know that the nine tailed beasts were actually divided into three levels?

The Eight-Tails is already a level stronger than the previous seven tailed beasts, and the Nine-Tails can even more forcefully suppress the Eight-Tails.

Jiraiya in Sage Mode could handle the first seven tailed beasts, and it was hard to say whether he could suppress the Eight-Tails, let alone the Nine-Tails.

Moreover, Uzumaki Menma's own strength is extraordinary.

With near-perfect Uzumaki clan bloodline, he can effortlessly master the Vajra Sealing Technique and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the case of fighting alone.

Fukasaku doesn't think highly of Jiraiya.

Not to mention that Jiraiya always had an excessive sense of naivety and an unwarranted expectation, whether for Jiraiya or for Mount Myōboku.

Fukasaku hoped that Jiraiya could truly face the existence of Uzumaki Menma.

"I understand what you mean, Fukasaku-sama. Don't worry, for Konoha and for world peace, this time, I will not hesitate any longer."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, nodded emphatically, and said...

Naruto is the child of prophecy.

This gave Jiraiya immense strength.

The goal of our struggle has been determined.

That's enough for Jiraiya, at least.

All previous hesitation and confusion will vanish at this moment. Help Naruto defeat Menma and guide the ninja world onto the right path.

This was what Jiraiya believed to be a mission bestowed upon him by God.

Therefore, this time he will risk everything.

"Well then, I'm off, Fukasaku-saku."

"Ah, you can summon me and my wife anytime! May you have good luck in battle, Little Jiraiya!"

Fukasaku nodded emphatically and said.

"puff!"

The next second, Jiraiya turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared.

Fukasaku looked at the spot where Jiraiya had stood, then turned and gazed at the palace where his great sage resided.

Just like for the past few hundred years, all that was needed was to follow the instructions of their great ancestor, but for some reason, at this moment, Fukasaku still felt a faint sense of unease.

It's as if this is the decision that Mount Myoboku made this time.

It would bring them a truly devastating crisis.

Hopefully, everything will return to the right path, just as the sage predicted.

Fukasaku sighed softly to himself, then skipped and hopped back to his spot.

the other side.

Jiraiya leaving Mount Myōboku.

They returned to the vicinity of Konoha Village, after confirming their exact location.

"whoosh"

Jiraiya leaped forward and sped back towards the village.

Jiraiya, without pausing for even a moment.

In the blink of an eye.

They arrived at the Hokage Building located beneath the Hokage Rock.

"Tsunade!"

A figure strides forward.

The door was pushed open directly.

Inside, Tsunade, who was discussing things with Shikaku, looked up with surprise at Jiraiya, who had clearly arrived in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Jiraiya? You look so rushed. Didn't you go to Mount Myōboku?"

"Tsunade, I have something very important to tell you."

Jiraiya wore a serious expression.

He moved closer to Tsunade.

Shikaku, who was standing to the side, saw Jiraiya's posture.

"Well then, Hokage-sama, I'll go first..."

It was an instinctive urge to leave.

"It's alright, Shikaku. You need to know about this and give your opinion."

Tsunade hasn't said anything yet.

Jiraiya, who was standing to the side, waved his hand to stop Shikaku from acting.

"Tell me, what is it that's making you look like that?"

Tsunade placed her hands on the table and spoke calmly.

"Here's what happened..."

Then.

Jiraiya then told Tsunade and Shikaku everything about the prophecies he heard during his trip to Mount Myōboku, as well as his subsequent judgments.

Jiraiya's tasks are very simple.

Release Naruto from the constraints of Hidden Light Village.

As for whether or not to intervene on the other side, that depends on what happens later. The most important issue right now is to bring Naruto back.

And it was at the moment he heard Jiraiya's words.

Tsunade's brows furrowed immediately.

Although Shikaku appeared outwardly calm, an indescribable emotion was actually welling up inside him.

The prophecy of Mount Myoboku?

A prophetic child who brought about tremendous changes to the world, or even who could be said to have led the world onto the right path?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

How could a mere summoning beast possess such abilities?

Even if that toad has lived for thousands of years, that at most means that the old toad knows a lot of things.

What prophecy?!

Is this definitely not a scam?

Let alone Shikaku, even Tsunade herself didn't believe it at all. Who isn't a contracted member of the Holy Land?

The toads of Mount Myoboku have lived for a thousand years.

But didn't the slug sage in Shikkotsu Forest, which Tsunade contracted, have lived for over a thousand years?

They didn't even talk about prophecy or anything like that.

How come when you come to Mount Myoboku, you act like a savior, able to predict such an important future?

If we really had that ability.

Is Mount Myoboku forbidden from ascending to heaven?

It should be said that Tsunade's expression was very unpleasant at this moment, even though she knew very well that her close friend seemed to have been immersed in the prophecy of Mount Myōboku for the past twenty years.

But Tsunade didn't really care.

I always thought this was just a way for Jiraiya to comfort himself, a normal process of seeking answers, another choice, and not something that really represented everything. But now it seems that's not the case at all.

Jiraiya completely believed in the teachings of Mount Myōboku.

A strange anger welled up in my heart.

Tsunade took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Jiraiya was still emphasizing the importance of the prophecy of Mount Myōboku.

"Jiraiya, do you really think that the prophecy of that great toad sage is necessarily correct?"

Tsunade couldn't help but interrupt Jiraiya, asking with an expression even more serious than before.

The prophesied son.

Tsunade never believed in such things.

If the world can be predicted, then what's the point of living and striving?

Is everything predetermined?

That's a joke.

While Tsunade does have some minor issues with her personality, in this respect, she is far superior to Jiraiya.

In fact, this can be seen from many things.

Jiraiya was a man who lacked a sense of responsibility.

He shirked many responsibilities that he should have taken on, including his role as Nagato, his role as Hokage, and his failure to take care of Menma.

"Tsunade, I understand your concerns, but please believe me, this is definitely the right path, and Naruto is absolutely the right one."

Although Jiraiya was naive, he was not stupid. He certainly knew that he could not force others to believe in the prophecies of Mount Myōboku as he did.

But Jiraiya hoped that Tsunade would give him a chance.

"It's not a matter of belief or disbelief, Jiraiya. Rather, well, let me ask you a question first: what do you intend to do next? Declare war on Hidden Light Village again? If so, everything we've done before will have been meaningless. Do you understand that?"
