Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Finding a companion with whom she shared common interests was extremely difficult, and the girl was momentarily lost in thought, holding her wine glass.

The banquet, which lasted until late into the night, did not officially end until the stars began to twinkle in the night sky. The girls who had danced so energetically were rewarded, and the nobles' nightlife was just beginning.

"I never imagined that the ninja world has undergone such tremendous changes in recent years. If I have the time, I will definitely travel to the Land of Fire again."

"Lord Xiu, I may have to trouble you then. The Hidden Ninja Temple in the Land of Fire and the Hidden Leaf Village have always been places I long to visit."

Jigen straightened his wide white robe and bowed in greeting. Furukawa Osamu immediately helped him up and responded with a hearty smile:

"We warmly welcome visits from insightful individuals! Even ninjas need to keep up with the times."

"The world is constantly evolving, and sometimes being a ninja can be a constraint."

As Furukawa Osamu left, three ANBU ninjas appeared silently behind him. Jigen bowed again, and when the group had all disappeared, a cold look suddenly appeared in his black pupils.

The brief contact allowed Jigen to confirm Furukawa Osamu's chakra once again. He was right; it was power approaching that of the Otsutsuki.

"This planet always surprises me. As I continue to grow, the Ten-Tails will surely love this delicious prey."

Back in his room, a smile gradually appeared on Furukawa Osamu's face. He didn't sense any power in the strange monk's body.

But just now, after he suddenly remembered Otsutsuki's ability to shield his senses, the memories from the "bottom of the box" also surfaced:

"So it turns out to be the Otsutsuki who has been hiding for thousands of years. Perhaps we can collect the detailed process of his journey through the universe in advance."

As he paced slowly around the room, thinking that he had not yet integrated the power of the Six Paths, Furukawa Osamu decided to take a long-term approach. At present, he lacked more convenient space-time ninjutsu, and his power level was not up to par.

Otsutsuki Isshiki was even better at hiding than him, so naturally a new plan had to be devised to deal with this ancient guy who had lived for a thousand years.

...

Just as the two made contact, in the enormous palace of Mount Myōboku, the Great Toad Sage, who was fast asleep wearing a crystal ball hat, suddenly twitched twice and then opened his eyes.

The sage Fukasaku was quietly cultivating his immortal arts nearby when he sensed the master's body twitching. He quickly jumped down beneath him and loudly inquired:

"My lord, are you experiencing health problems? Should I summon everyone here?"

"Ah! It's Fukasaku. Don't worry about me, I just suddenly saw some strange scenes again."

"The Child of Prophecy has gained immense power again. The fleeting image left me unable to determine what exactly happened."

"This is an incredible situation; it seems to affect the future of the planet..."

The giant toad sage slightly opened its eyes, uttered these words in a low voice, and seemed to be trying hard to recall them. However, it could only recall scattered images, and the sense of crisis suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Upon hearing "Child of Prophecy" again, the sage Fukasaku, seeing the dazed old man, decisively used the Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique.

With a bang, Jiraiya, his face bearing numerous lipstick marks, appeared shirtless in the main hall. He let out a lewd laugh before realizing something was wrong.

"Boss Fukasaku, why did you summon me at this time again?"

Jiraiya composed himself and asked the question with a serious expression. Before Fukasaku could respond, the Great Toad Sage inquired curiously:

"Has something major happened in the ninja world recently? I saw the Child of Prophecy gain immense power..."

"Huh?!"

Jiraiya stared wide-eyed and shouted, "I've been worrying about the prophesied child who has lost his power every day, but he did nothing and the other party regained his power!"

"Jiraiya, could you briefly describe the major events that have recently occurred in the ninja world?"

"Perhaps one of these events will have a profound impact, thereby affecting the future of the prophesied child."

"A major event? If I had to name one, it would be the ceasefire agreement reached between Sunagakure and Iwagakure..."

Jiraiya stroked his chin and quickly responded, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, asked with considerable enthusiasm:

"My lord, have you witnessed the scene where the Child of Prophecy brings true peace to the ninja world after gaining immense power?"

“No such thing happened, Jiraiya. On the contrary, the Child of Prophecy may have been corrupted by that power.”

The Great Toad Sage calmly recounted the terrifying events, ignoring the horrified look on Jiraiya's face, and continued to slowly and deliberately add:

“I have witnessed two different scenes. A long time ago, the Child of Prophecy seemed to possess the power of the Tailed Beasts, but in the end, this power disappeared.”

"What we are seeing now is an even more powerful force, a force like that of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Let me think, it may have to be traced back to a thousand years ago."

"Jiraiya, your mission is over. There is very little we can do in the face of such power."

"This planet will also face a different fate; we just need to wait patiently..."

"A thousand years ago, Hagoromo Otsutsuki protected the planet; in the future, someone else may also stand up. This is the world's will to resist..."

The muttering toad sage didn't care whether the two people in front of him could understand his words. After he finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep, leaving Fukasaku and Jiraiya looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Master Fukasaku, what exactly is the Lord saying? I... am I supposed to stop the Child of Prophecy from regaining his power?"

Jiraiya looked confused and asked in a low voice. Fukasaku, the sage, didn't know how to answer for a moment. Remembering what the child's mother had said, he smiled wryly and joked:

"Perhaps the mother is right, the old man has become confused. How can a prophecy keep changing?!"

"Little Jiraiya, don't take it to heart!"

"Your cultivation of immortal arts must continue. At present, it seems impossible for you to reach the level of the child you mentioned."

"Even if we help you refine your Sage Chakra, with your physical condition, you won't be able to use Sage Techniques that can alter the surrounding environment and deliver powerful attacks."

"Since the master has given instructions again, you should focus on writing your book while you're cultivating!"

"You will definitely become a great writer, Jiraiya. You should have your own life too."

This was the second time that Fukasaku had advised him. Jiraiya lowered his head and gave a bitter smile. In the end, the most accurate prophecy was actually about the future of him, an insignificant person.

As for "his own life," Jiraiya suddenly thought of Tsunade, and after a surge of emotions, he sighed softly:

"I wonder if I'll be rejected again if I confess my feelings now..."

Chapter 221 Forbidden Night

In early September, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire praised Furukawa Osamu's performance in the Land of Rivers, noting that he had found a new source of wealth, which was very important to the nobles.

Upon hearing the news, Obito Uchiha, who was lurking in Konoha, secretly curled his lip. He didn't believe that Osamu Furukawa would care so much about the Daimyo; the other party was definitely looking for his whereabouts.

The thought of Nagato and Black Zetsu "refusing to help" made Obito extremely angry.

Fortunately, his subordinates performed well, and with Orochimaru's surgery and the backup White Zetsu, his leg injury recovered.

The reason Obito rushed to Konoha was mainly because Kakashi's birthday was approaching, and he was very worried that something "bad" might happen, so he made a special trip over.

The thought that Nohara Rin might treat him as a "gift" caused Obito extremely painful emotions!

The reason why White Zetsu did not stop him was because this was Madara's opportunity to increase his eye power. To gain great strength, one always has to pay a price.

In the evening, at the gate of Konoha Hospital, Nohara Rin and Shizune held hands and said goodbye to their colleagues. The two girls were in very good spirits and chatted and laughed on their way home.

After purchasing groceries, they returned to the apartment together. Recently, Kakashi had been accompanying Minato on an S-class mission, and the two of them had decided to live together.

After changing into her home clothes, Nohara Rin tied on an apron and prepared ingredients with Shizune. Since Furukawa Osamu and Kakashi's birthdays are close together, the two were discussing gifts.

"Damn it! Xiu probably celebrates his birthday on a mission again this year!"

"Tsunade-sensei is really something, always assigning troublesome tasks around this time of year."

"There must be a lot of trouble with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. I really want to celebrate Xiu's birthday properly. I've already prepared a present!"

Hearing Shizune's comment, Nohara Rin stopped what she was doing, tilted her head with a curious look on her face, then suddenly remembered something, blushed, and whispered:

"You're not going to present yourself as a gift, are you? A coming-of-age gift might actually be quite fitting!"

"How...how could this be?! Lin, you've become so strange, always asking questions like this. Who treats themselves like a gift?!"

"That's not what I meant at all. I just wanted to stay by Xiu's side!"

Shizune blushed and explained loudly, but Nohara Rin shook her head and continued to whisper in her ear, her face still red. Soon, the two girls started talking about adult topics, and the atmosphere in the room became ambiguous.

While the ingredients were stewing, Nohara Rin pulled Shizune into the room, her face flushed, and took out a prepared nurse's uniform, asking in a low voice:

"Jingyin, what do you think? I...I feel like it's too revealing..."

Shizune was surprised by the boldness of the girl in front of her. She subconsciously picked up the special nurse's uniform and noticed that the chest area was open. For a moment, "steam" appeared on her head.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed that her top was unusually short. Shizune nearly fainted from embarrassment. She quickly folded her clothes, leaned close to Nohara Rin, and loudly exclaimed:

"Where...where did you buy these clothes?!"

"That length! There's a big problem with it!"

"How could she wear such a nurse's uniform?!"

Nohara Rin's face was also flushed. The store was a new store that had just opened in Konoha. She had bought the dress on a whim after hearing the recommendations of her seniors.

Upon hearing the question about muting, Nohara Rin pulled out a handwritten book and introduced it somewhat embarrassedly:

"This seems to be a gift from Jiraiya to Kakashi. I took a look at the contents, and it's... well, hard to describe."

"Kakashi seems to really like this manuscript. It mentions nurse uniforms in one part. I didn't expect there to be such a shop in the village."

"If Kakashi likes it, I... I wouldn't mind granting his wish, after all, he's taken care of me for so many years..."

Shizune stared at Nohara Rin's figure, and remembering the dress that made her feel extremely embarrassed, her face turned even redder. Finally, she simply threw herself into the girl's arms and responded loudly:

"Damn it! Lin's figure is amazing!"

"Wearing that outfit would be against the rules! I have absolutely no confidence in wearing that kind of thing..."

"Kakashi, that repressed guy, will definitely not let you off the hook. Maybe he deliberately let you see the manuscript!"

Steam appeared on Nohara Rin's head, and the two girls hugged each other and whispered to each other, turning the room into a pink atmosphere...

While possessing the tree, Obito's face turned pale as he silently showed off the nurse's uniform, his extreme pain surging up, and his burning chakra flooding his eyes.

After carefully sensing it, White Zetsu became increasingly satisfied. Just as it had predicted, Lord Madara's eye power had increased again!

Obito could no longer hold on. He forcibly activated Kamui and instantly returned to his own dimension. Thinking that Kakashi's birthday was just a few days away, he knelt on the ground and screamed in agony.

"I don't want that kind of thing!"

"Kakashi, if you dare to bully Rin on her birthday, I will definitely..."

Halfway through his shout, Obito was once again unable to resist the extreme pain and the surge of violent chakra. The intense pain in his eyes caused him to faint on the spot.

White Zetsu then dispelled his possession, circled around Obito, and finally stroked his chin, exclaiming in a comical tone:

"If there were no limit to the growth of eye power, Madara might be able to surpass Furukawa Osamu."

"Kakashi, I'm begging you, please help Madara transform once again!"

-

On September 9th, Osamu Furukawa celebrated his 18th birthday. Unfortunately, the daimyo of the Land of Fire extended a warm invitation, so he and his classmates and friends had to celebrate his birthday later.

After a busy day, Tsunade returned to the courtyard, a pang of guilt rising in her heart. When Shizune told her about Rin's secret plan, the girl's face was filled with envy.

Subconsciously resisting certain situations from occurring, Tsunade arranged a long-term mission. Reflecting on her own thoughts, she couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"After giving away the necklace, I'll explain everything to Xiu..."

An orange light suddenly switched on in the entryway. Seeing the surprised look on Tsunade's face, Furukawa Osamu couldn't help but chuckle and tease her:

"What does the teacher want to say? Why choose a special day?"

"I...I'm sorry, I..."

Tsunade first widened her eyes as if she wanted to say something, then suddenly lowered her head, unsure how to explain.

Obediently taking off her coat, Tsunade looked at her disciple hanging up her clothes, leaned in to explain Shizune's feelings, and also to end their intimate relationship. But just as she was about to speak, Furukawa Osamu suddenly turned around.

"Is this the gift the teacher prepared? It's too precious, worth more than three mines."

"How can I possibly repay this?"

Furukawa Osamu took the green crystal necklace from Tsunade's neck. Tsunade blushed slightly when she saw her disciple covering the necklace, which was still warm from his body, but she still insisted on taking it off herself.

"I don't think it's anything valuable. Happy birthday, Xiu. Thank you for everything you've done for me!"

Tsunade tiptoed and hung the necklace around the neck of her bowed disciple. Just as she was about to say something, Furukawa Osamu suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"Teacher, this is what I should do. Let me help you with the next stage of your cultivation!"

"Don't do this, oh, Xiu..."

Tsunade quickly fell silent. Her body was no longer under her control. She embraced her disciple and responded enthusiastically. After her body was suspended in the air, she subconsciously used a leg technique.

Upon entering the room, Tsunade was already in "clothes-bursting mode." She felt as if her body was about to melt, and her rosy cheeks were suddenly attacked by "talk-no-jutsu," causing her to let out a soft groan.
