"Summoning Jutsu!"
Fukasaku Sage placed his small toad hand on a massive Scroll, with the character 'Person' in the center, surrounded by numerous Seal symbols.
Then, with a 'boom,' a cloud of smoke appeared.
Two people suddenly appeared in midair, then fell to the ground.
After Namikaze Minato sat up from the ground, he felt relieved seeing the scenery of Mount Myoboku around him. He then expressed his gratitude to Jiraiya beside him, "Jiraiya-sensei, thankfully you relayed the message in time, otherwise we would've been finished."
Breaking into the enemy camp, facing over a thousand Hidden Sand Ninja, with the sky full of Shuriken Kunai and Explosive Tags, they nearly ended up on Konoha's Memorial Tablet.
"Too bad we didn't kill the One-tailed Jinchuriki, but how did the Hidden Sand Ninja detect our plan?"
Jiraiya sighed, thinking that there might never be such a seamless opportunity again. Their infiltration was almost heaven-sent, incredibly smooth, he couldn't even believe it himself at the time.
"Perhaps they didn't detect our plan, but the Hidden Sand Ninja protected the One-tailed Jinchuriki too well."
Namikaze Minato also felt a bit regretful, saying: "They probably prepared a backup camp for the One-tailed Jinchuriki from the start. What those Hidden Sand Ninja know might be false; only the high-ranking Sand Ninja know where the One-tailed Jinchuriki actually is."
Jiraiya frowned, saying: "It seems assassination is unrealistic. We'll have to find an opportunity on the battlefield..."
If it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't have such strong infiltration skills.
"Let's head back then, Jiraiya-sensei, ah, and Fukasaku Sage. You've really helped us out this time."
Seeing the nearby Toad Sage, Namikaze Minato quickly thanked him. Without Fukasaku Sage, even if they used the Flying Thunder God to escape, they would likely have been caught by the enraged Sand Ninja.
"Little Jiraiya, don't be in a rush to return. The Great Elder has something for you; it's about a prophecy, and Little Minato should also hear it since he's also a Contractor of Mount Myoboku."
Fukasaku Sage spoke to the two, noting that ordinary Contractors don't get such privileges. However, these two are part of the Great Elder's prophecy... Although the Great Elder doesn't know Little Minato, Little Jiraiya says Minato might be the savior, so let's bring him along.
"The Great Toad Sage has a prophecy? Let's have a look then, it might relate to a prophecy concerning the Ninja World."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya stood up and said to Minato: "Let's go, Minato, you haven't met the Great Toad Sage yet, have you? It has truly seen the Six Paths Sage and has lived for over a thousand years."
"Seen the Six Paths Sage..."
Namikaze Minato swallowed, realizing this is a legendary figure, then obediently followed.
Although he is a Contractor of Mount Myoboku, he was only recently acknowledged by Bunta, allowed to stand on Bunta's head against enemies, but hasn't been to the actual Mount Myoboku many times.
After a lengthy trek, Fukasaku Sage brought Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato before the Great Toad Sage.
"Great Elder, Great Elder!"
Fukasaku Sage shouted several times before waking the Great Toad Sage.
"Oh, it's Fukasaku. What brings you to me?"
Fukasaku Sage, aware of the Great Toad Sage's frequent forgetfulness, said: "You asked me to bring Little Jiraiya last time. Now that he's here, you can tell him whatever it is."
"Little Jiraiya..."
The Great Toad Sage slowly repeated the name, and Jiraiya stepped forward to hear the Great Toad Sage's words.
"Who is Little Jiraiya?"
Fukasaku Sage covered his head, then shouted: "Didn't you dream about the prophecy last time and wanted to find Little Jiraiya?"
"Oh, Little Jiraiya... So, who here is Little Jiraiya?"
.........
After introducing himself several times, Jiraiya finally helped the Great Toad Sage recall him, and he also introduced his disciple Namikaze Minato.
"This time the prophecy is about a crisis for Mount Myoboku. Although hard to believe, I did dream of Mount Myoboku's destruction, happening soon... In the near future."
Hearing the Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku Sage was the first to jump up and ask: "Great Elder, how could Mount Myoboku be destroyed? Did you remember it wrong?"
The Great Toad Sage shook its head, saying: "This dream left a deep impression, I remember it quite clearly."
Jiraiya quickly asked: "Great Toad Sage, who destroys Mount Myoboku? In the Ninja World, even the Five Great Ninja Villages couldn't find Mount Myoboku, right?"
He loved Mount Myoboku, even more so than Konoha.
During his time in Konoha, Jiraiya was always trailing behind, while his teammates, Tsunade and Orochimaru, were geniuses. The strength gap within the squad became increasingly apparent, and although the Third Generation Hokage endeavored to train him well, the improvement wasn't significant.
Fate brought him to Mount Myoboku, where he met Gama Bunta and was taught Immortal Technique, allowing him to gradually close the gap between Tsunade and Orochimaru.
Having mastered the techniques at Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya often identified himself as the Toad Sage, occasionally wearing a Headband marked with 'Oil,' representing the Toad Oil from Mount Myoboku.
His heart fondly attached to Mount Myoboku for bestowing the strength that allowed him to catch up with his two companions.
The Great Toad Sage muttered: "Hmm... it seems to be Ryuchi Cave, with so many Great Snakes, and the three Snake Princesses of Ryuchi Cave, finally led by the Contractor of Ryuchi Cave, utterly destroying Mount Myoboku..."
Fukasaku Sage asked: "Ryuchi Cave? Didn't you say the White Snake Sage is connected to the earth and cannot move?"
