Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"You've fully recovered! I'm sure Mr. Sakumo will be very pleased to see you now."

"Any doubts about Lightning Release ninjutsu? With the help of the secret medicine, you should be able to use the Black Lightning Secret Technique at your current level..."

As he spoke, Furukawa carefully sensed the surroundings. He had been in low-power Sage Mode all day, and after instantly extracting the Sage Chakra from Ryuchi Cave, his senses were amplified many times over.

Having survived a life-or-death ordeal, Kakashi's physical abilities were noticeably enhanced. When he transformed into a lightning-style chakra electric dog, the flow of chakra in his meridians was rapid, yet he controlled it with extreme precision.

"It's still not quite there. That power is very difficult to control, and it's too difficult to fuse with ordinary chakra!"

Kakashi became somewhat embarrassed at the end, saying that after taking the secret medicine, he had difficulty even releasing ordinary lightning release ninjutsu, let alone Chidori.

Furukawa Osamu underestimated the difficulty of using natural energy; even a small amount requires more than an ordinary ninja to master.

"It's okay, don't force yourself."

"With your current strength, as long as you keep training, you will only get stronger and stronger."

Parker saw the small silver snake at Furukawa Osamu's waist and was about to speak, but after blinking twice, he suddenly realized that it was just an ordinary short sword.

The dog looked up again and vaguely saw a phantom snake shadow on Furukawa Osamu's shoulder. It instinctively widened its eyes, but found nothing there.

Parker sensed that Furukawa Osamu's chakra aura had returned to normal. The dog patted its cheek with its front paw and muttered to itself near Kakashi's arm:

"Am I still half asleep?"

"You're getting more and more rude. You didn't even greet Xiu. You can forget about getting steak tonight."

Kakashi tossed Pakkun aside, and only then did the dog notice that Osamu Furukawa had disappeared. A thoughtful expression crossed the dog's face, and finally, it whispered a reminder:

"Hey, Kakashi! Don't you get chills?"

"That chakra is something no human could possibly possess."

Kakashi looked on with a puzzled expression, then lifted Puck up again, staring at him with deadpan eyes, and muttered under his breath:

"You've eaten too much! A dog should just sit back and gnaw on a bone instead of spouting nonsense."

"I didn't feel anything, but Xiu was indeed taller and full of life."

"Speaking of which, it should be considered another improvement, since a stronger body can generate more chakra..."

Parker tried to explain, but Kakashi tossed him aside.

When Rin Nohara ran over, the girl smiled and grabbed Kakashi's arm, happily sharing the fun things that happened at work that day. Puck sighed helplessly at the sight, and a look of confusion returned to his dog face.

"Could it be that I sensed something wrong?"

...

In the dead of night, in the dense forest of Shikub, all the slugs, big and small, showed curious expressions. Their clones would occasionally communicate with each other, and soft, sweet voices would constantly ring out.

Furukawa Osamu wasn't consciously controlling the conversion of Sage Chakra; under the manipulation of the spirit, a massive amount of life force began to surge into his cells.

Under the influence of this force, Ashura's chakra, which had mostly remained dormant, began to slowly cover the ordinary chakra in his body, and his cells began a new round of transformation.

The White Snake Sage hoped to change his life form and evolve into a dragon, but Osamu Furukawa didn't have that kind of delusion. He just hoped that his body could be fully adapted to Ashura's chakra.

Only when the cells stopped consuming this power did Furukawa Osamu end his cultivation. After the slugs crawled over and carefully sensed it, they all exclaimed in admiration:

"A wondrous application of Sage Chakra!"

"So the White Snake Immortal hasn't given up after all. Can a snake really transform into a dragon?"

"By focusing on controlling life force, Master Xiu can shorten his cultivation time."

Before Furukawa could respond, a huge, live slug suddenly approached from above, waving its tentacles and cheerfully saying:

"With this life force, Master Xiu can help Tsunade conceive a life."

"Breaking through racial barriers, the White Serpent Immortal has made tremendous progress over the past thousand years!"

The slugs, big and small, all began discussing the issue of procreation. Furukawa Osamu, overwhelmed by the discussion, finally gave a helpless reminder:

"You promised to research the fusion of Indra's and Ashura's chakra, what life...?"

"Lord Xiu, this is an extraordinary ability! You could use it to create a completely new race!"

The slugs remained enthusiastic, while Furukawa Osamu's eyes twitched slightly as he listened. Even if he were a sadist, he wouldn't produce any strange offspring; the thought was terrifying.

"We can try it in two more years, Master Xiu?!"

"boom..."

"How did Lord Xiu dispel the spirit communication spell?"

Chapter 150 The Child of Prophecy Has Disappeared?

At the end of January, in a special care ward at Konoha Hospital, Kushina lay on the bed, anxiously looking at her husband. Minato smiled gently and whispered reassuringly:

"It's okay, Kushina, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Just as Kushina was about to respond, the door was pushed open, and Sarutobi Biwako quickly came to the bedside, a smile on her face, handed over the report, and whispered:

Congratulations! Your new family member!

"During this period of time..."

Just as the old man was about to give her another word of advice, Kushina suddenly shouted happily, hugging Minato and nudging him wildly, her face flushed as she yelled loudly:

"It's a success! I almost thought that Jinchūriki couldn't be mothers!"

"We're really amazing..."

Minato Namikaze, holding his wife, awkwardly nodded and apologized to Biwa Sarutobi. Seeing Kushina's happy expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that he was about to become a father, Minato finally snapped out of his daze and grinned foolishly. In a few months, a brand new life would begin.

Sarutobi Biwako waited quietly with a smile on her face for the two to calm down. Seeing Kushina shrink back into the blankets, she gently reminded them:

"As a Jinchūriki, the process of conceiving a child may be quite difficult."

"During this period, the seal within the body will gradually weaken, and when the child is born, the Nine-Tails will definitely become restless."

"This is also the most dangerous time, and we need to prepare in advance."

Seeing the two nod solemnly, Sarutobi Biwako thought for a moment and then gave them another word of advice:

"This news can only be told to Tsunade; do not reveal it to anyone else."

"No matter how close the relationship, it won't work. This is the best way to ensure Kushina's personal safety."

"Minato, you'll be taking on S-rank missions from Tsunade for the time being, and you'll stay by Kushina's side."

"If there are any difficult tasks, Furukawa will carry them out for you. Don't find it troublesome. Everything will return to normal after the baby is born."

Minato nodded in agreement, then, as if remembering something, scratched his head and asked with a smile:

"Not even Jiraiya-sensei? Speaking of which, I was hoping Jiraiya-sensei could help me name this child..."

"Minato, it's not too late to name the child after he's born. Jiraiya won't blame you."

"If that guy has any objections, let him come to me. Kushina's safety is the most important thing. With my and Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, there won't be any accidents."

Sarutobi Biwako shook her head in refusal. Although Jiraiya was loyal, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the safer it would be.

Two generations of Hokage plus a super-fast ninja is enough. Minato is skilled in sealing techniques, and after the child is born, he can work with Kushina to continue sealing the Nine-Tails.

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, a solemn expression appearing on his face. He whispered his assurance, then turned to his wife and said softly:

"Thank you for your hard work in the coming days!"

"Could it be a boy? I really want to see him soon!"

Kushina embraced her husband and whispered happily, knowing that she would no longer be alone in the future, and that even if Minato went on a mission, her child would be by her side.

-

The air in Mt. Myoboku was still filled with the croaking of frogs. Fukasaku was enjoying his insect ramen, about to praise his wife, when suddenly Gamabunta's loud voice boomed from outside:

"Boss! The master has suddenly summoned you, saying he has something important to tell you!"

Upon hearing the news, the toad's face immediately showed displeasure. He swallowed the insect dish in one gulp and complained irritably:

"Is the master having another episode?"

"Honey, don't talk nonsense. It must be related to a prophecy. Let's go quickly."

Fukasaku hurriedly left, and after jumping onto Bunta's head, Shima followed.

Upon arriving at the enormous palace, Gamabunta bent down, his eyes crinkling into a smile, and asked curiously:

"Boss, is it related to the Child of Prophecy? Jiraiya seems to have been investigating this matter for a while now."

"Isn't Minato the Child of Prophecy? After he came to cultivate immortality some time ago, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"That old fool is just talking nonsense after he woke up!"

Shima, the sage, grumbled again, then jumped into the palace, clutching his forelegs. Fukasaku, the sage, coughed awkwardly and whispered, "..."

"Go ahead and get busy, Bunta. I'll call you if I need you."

After the two toads entered the room, the Great Toad Sage, unlike his usual confused demeanor, took off the crystal ball hat on his head and stared wide-eyed as if he were casting a spell.

"Master...Master, what's going on?"

"Oh, you've come at the right time. It's rather strange, the Child of Prophecy has lost his power!"

"My previous predictions were somewhat wrong; the power that belonged to the Child of Prophecy has almost disappeared..."

As he spoke, the giant toad sage looked puzzled. There was no useful information on the crystal ball, and all sorts of random images kept flashing by.

The power to devour the chakra of the prophesied child seemed to exist without a trace; no matter how much the Great Toad Sage searched, he couldn't find a single clue.

"My lord, shall we summon Jiraiya?"

“He has been investigating the matter of the Child of Prophecy recently, so he may know some relevant information. You can ask him about it.”

Fukasaku gave timely advice, and Shima stopped mocking the old toad. This was the first time in recent years that she had seen the old man so serious.

"Alright, I just happened to have something to tell Jiraiya."

"I never expected things to develop like this. I hope those words from back then won't bother him."

The Great Toad Sage muttered to himself, and Fukasaku Sage no longer hesitated. He immediately performed the Reverse Summoning Technique, and after a puff of white smoke, Jiraiya appeared in front of the three toads wrapped in a bath towel.

"I'm coming..."

Just as Jiraiya was about to toss the towel aside, he chuckled softly before realizing his mistake. He quickly wrapped the towel back around himself and looked at his three seniors with a helpless expression.

"Actually, I should go back and organize my clothes and supplies. I hope I don't have to bring back some weird food again."

"Little Jiraiya, the prophecy has been changed again. Concentrate and listen to the Lord's instructions!"

As soon as Fukasaku finished speaking, the Great Toad Sage in front of him put his crystal ball hat back on his head, leaned back in his chair with his massive body, and said in a low voice, looking as if he had exhausted a lot of energy:

"Something's strange. My senses were a bit vague before, but now I can confirm it completely!"

"Jiraiya, the child of prophecy, may have disappeared."

"That chakra that has been circulating for many years seems to have been absorbed by some kind of power, which also means that the entanglement between the two will officially come to an end."

"Whether the remaining meager strength can make a difference, I cannot predict."

"what?"

Jiraiya, utterly astonished, cried out in surprise, nearly slipping his towel off. He quickly wrapped it around himself again before shouting:

"What happened? I have absolutely no idea!"

"It means you've disappeared. Everything will change. Little Jiraiya, your mission may be complete."

The Great Toad Sage resumed his usual calm and collected demeanor, squinting his eyes as he gave a simple reply. Noticing Jiraiya's hesitant expression, he simply gave clear instructions:

"There's no need to search for the prophesied child anymore, Jiraiya. It's time for you to return to your own life."

"Perhaps someone else will change the ninja world, but I cannot predict it."

At that moment, Jiraiya felt as if his life had been negated, and he looked at the three immortals in front of him and loudly questioned them:

"How could this be? Has someone broken the prophecy?"

"Without a child of prophecy, what will become of peace in the ninja world?"

"...call..."

Seeing the Great Toad Master suddenly fall asleep, Master Shima couldn't hold back any longer and loudly complained:
