Chapter 347 - Chapter 218: Sarutobi Hiruzen: Jiraiya, You Should Be Hokage

"Six Paths Sage... Great Elder, how did you communicate with the Six Paths Sage?"

Jiraiya was shocked after listening, he even glanced at Fukasaku Sage, suspecting that the Great Toad Sage might have confused a dream for a prophecy.

Otherwise, how could one converse with someone who died over a thousand years ago, isn't the Six Paths Sage's corpse rotted by now?

Fukasaku Sage was also somewhat skeptical, because the Great Toad Sage had never talked about the Six Paths Sage before, so it loudly asked: "Great Elder, how did you meet the Six Paths Sage?"

"Dream communication is a mysterious thing, you don't need to delve into it deeply, anyway Hagoromo is still guarding the Ninja World from somewhere in the shadows..."

The Great Toad Sage smacked its toad lips and then continued: "He asked me to pay attention, but Mount Myoboku is a Summoning Sacred Land, rarely seen outside; Little Jiraiya, can I entrust you with this matter?"

"Well... I'll inquire about it while doing missions, besides Nagato, another pair of Rinnegan will appear... Great Elder, are there any specific features?"

Jiraiya agreed, but this time felt a bit doubtful about the Great Toad Sage.

Not to mention the Six Paths Sage who died over a thousand years ago, even if he were alive, why wouldn't such a powerful sage come out to stop it himself?

The Great Toad Sage recalled and slowly said: "Hmm... With extreme Yang Power and extreme Yin Power, one could obtain Hagoromo's eyes."

Jiraiya asked, somewhat perplexed: "What is that?"

Beside him, Fukasaku Sage pondered for a moment upon hearing this; although Mount Myoboku seldom walks in the Ninja World, there is never a shortage of Contractors, hence it has some understanding of matters in the Ninja World.

"Little Jiraiya, if it's about extreme Yang Release and extreme Yin Release, the most representative would be the Senju and Uchiha, though there are other ninjas aside from those two families who also use secret techniques like Yin-Yang Release... but they always seem less renowned."

Upon hearing Fukasaku Sage's words, Jiraiya immediately thought of Uchiha Yoichi, the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the power of Wood Release that stabilized chaotic times all manifested in him alone.

Although many in Konoha now use Wood Release, Jiraiya felt only Uchiha Yoichi truly matched what the Great Toad Sage described.

Jiraiya said: "Fukasaku boss, Great Elder, there is a ninja in Konoha who should fit what you said, he not only awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan but also can use Wood Release... most importantly, he is also a Contractor for Ryuchi Cave."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Fukasaku Sage also thought of the Great Toad Sage's previous prophecy, the enemy that might bring about the downfall of Mount Myoboku's was the Contractor for Ryuchi Cave.

Jiraiya searched extensively in the Ninja World but besides Orochimaru and Uchiha Yoichi, he found no other Contractors for Ryuchi Cave, and had painstakingly gleaned information from Orochimaru.

The only Contractors for Ryuchi Cave are Orochimaru and Uchiha Yoichi.

One prophecy may not be much, but two pointing to the same person suddenly made Jiraiya believe the Great Toad Sage's prophecy to be correct.

"Little Jiraiya, looking at it this way, the person you mentioned is very suspicious, although he's a Konoha Village advisor..."

Fukasaku Sage sighed, not only is he an advisor for Konoha Village, but also the clan leader of the Uchiha Race and a Ryuchi Cave Contractor; they cannot deal with Uchiha Yoichi using ordinary methods, otherwise, it could cause big trouble.

If it were other issues, Fukasaku Sage wouldn't want to meddle in the Ninja World at all, unless at the contractor's request; but this matter is different, as it concerns the life and death of Mount Myoboku.

The Great Elder's prophecies have never been wrong, and after living at Mount Myoboku for hundreds of years, it absolutely cannot allow Mount Myoboku to be destroyed by others.

"Don't worry, Fukasaku boss, I won't let him harm Mount Myoboku."

Though saying this, Jiraiya had no real confidence, planning to go back and discuss with the old man; lately, he didn't even know what the old man was up to, but Sarutobi Hiruzen was one of the few he could rely on.

Then, as Jiraiya intended to ask the Great Toad Sage some questions, the Great Toad Sage had already fallen asleep.

Seeing this, Fukasaku Sage advised: "Go back, Little Jiraiya, once the Great Elder is asleep, it won't wake up."

Jiraiya refused to give up, shouting loudly a couple of times, but the Great Toad Sage remained motionless, showing no response.

Afterward, Jiraiya had no choice but to leave with Fukasaku Sage; he had intended to ask about the Child of Destiny today, having once believed the two most likely candidates could become the Child of Destiny, now one harbors hatred for Konoha and is on the wrong path.

The other has already died, and as a teacher, he couldn't even retrieve his disciple's corpse.

Recently, he had been consistently gathering information on Nagato, and also probing for clues about Ryuchi Cave, yet all without success; Jiraiya felt quite exhausted, hence he sought to ask the Great Toad Sage about the Child of Destiny.

If he could find the Child of Destiny that could resolve everything, he could safely entrust the matter to them.

After departing from Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya returned to Konoha, directly seeking the old man within the Sarutobi Race.

"Old man, here's a gift for you, use this for tea from now on."

Upon entering, Jiraiya greeted, as only here with the old man could he slightly relax.

"A teacup? Better bring me some good tobacco leaves..."
