He shouldn't have existed. He appeared only because two fools, Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Itachi, went against the heavens and changed fate. If it weren't for Itachi's Night of Clan Extermination, there would be no question of any Uchiha Yue right now.
Thinking about this, Jiraiya decided to return to Mount Myoboku and tell the Great Toad Sage about the prophecy.
At that moment, Jiraiya did not yet know that on Mount Myoboku he had already been considered unworthy and was preparing to break the contract with him.
"I wonder if the Great Toad Sage also foresaw this?"
Soon, Jiraiya, sitting in a wheelchair, used the reverse summoning technique and moved to Mount Myoboku.
Meanwhile, Konoha has already decided to participate in tomorrow's United Shinobi World Meeting.
- what? A prophecy? The child of Prophecy?
Looking at Jiraiya in the wheelchair, the Great Toad Sage fell into silence. He did not expect that while they were here discussing the need to unite the forces of the Shinobi world, someone in the world had already begun to act without waiting for them.
And this someone was also a prophet, just like himself!
In the next second, the Great Toad Sage closed his eyes. He tried to look into the future to find the hope mentioned in the new prophecy, to find the so-called Child of Prophecy. But before his eyes, there was still only a dark and hopeless future.
What could be the scariest thing in the world?
To know the exact date of your death and to understand that, no matter what choice you make, it is impossible to avoid this fate. This is exactly the kind of hopeless future the Great Toad Sage saw. No one felt more despair and powerlessness than he did.
The others only knew that the world could be destroyed, but until that happened, they didn't really feel it. He was different.
Every day he saw this desperate future—a dead, dark, lifeless world that suffocated any intelligent being.
And now there was hope. A new prophecy has appeared.
"Jiraiya, come here!"
Two toad sages approached Jiraiya and took the crippled Shinobi away, leaving the Great Toad Sage alone to ponder and search. However, no matter how hard he tried, driving himself into a frenzy, he never saw a future in which the Child of Prophecy saves the world.
A dead silence enveloped the whole world, all living things were frozen in ice, everything that existed froze, everything turned into nothing. The world has not been saved, the future has not changed at all.
"Am I really so old that I can no longer look into the deeper layers of the future?"
The Great Toad-Sage did not doubt the authenticity of the new prophecy. Being a seer himself, he naturally believed in their existence. After all, what's the point of making up lies when the world is already on the verge of destruction?
Will lying help you survive?
There's very little time left. No matter how many benefits you have accumulated, no matter what pleasures you enjoy, when the time comes, you will have to die, no matter who you are.
It doesn't make sense!
That was why the Great Toad Sage suspected that his own prophetic abilities were inferior to the other's. He saw more, further and deeper. And he had aged, after all.
— Fukasaku, Shima...
- what? Break the contract? No, you can't, wise men! I grew up on Mount Myeboku, you could say I'm part of Mount Myeboku myself! You can't send me away!
Surprise, disbelief, and panic were reflected in his voice. Jiraiya anxiously looked at the two sages, not understanding how he could have been expelled from Mount Myoboku.
"This matter is out of the question, Jiraiya. We are very disappointed with your recent actions. You're not the same Jiraiya you were before!
Fukasaku shook his head, looking at Jiraiya with disappointment. Could the old Jiraiya have done something like that, to bring jinchuuriki to the point where he became a traitor?
Everyone knew that Naruto was a good guy, devoted to Konoha with all his heart, with the Will of Fire in his soul, dreaming of becoming Hokage. And it was not necessary to say who was to blame for the fact that such a good guy had completely gone into darkness.
—No, no, Sage Fukasaku, you can't... You can't! Jiraiya shook his head ruefully and began to plead.
Jiraiya, after all, had grown up before their eyes. Looking at his despair, Shima sighed wearily.
— Okay, let's do this. You can still come to Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya. However, the toads of Mount Myoboku won't help you anymore!
Hearing Shima's words, Jiraiya froze. If he couldn't count on the help of the Myoboku toads, then what was the point of a contract with the mountain?
He looked at the two sages, wanting to say something, but when he met their disappointed gazes, he could only nod.
It was at this moment that the voice of the Great Toad Sage rang out.
"Get ready." Send toad tomorrow to see what will happen at the Joint Meeting.
***
— The united assembly of the Shinobi world? Ha?
Nagato looked at the letter in his hands and was slightly taken aback.
"What kind of Child of Prophecy?" And how can Uchiha Yue be defeated by some Child of Prophecy? Impossible, absolutely impossible. There can be no Child of Prophecy in this world who can defeat Uchiha Yue. In the face of this monster that surpasses the gods, the only possible death for Uchiha Yue is death from old age!
Nagato put down the letter, a look of utter disbelief on his face.
Nearby.
— Zetsu, do you think it's true? The child of Prophecy? The destruction of Uchiha Yue? And this Jigen?
Uchiha Obito turned to the Black Zetsu standing next to him, his face under the mask expressed extreme bewilderment.
Black Zetsu shook his head. He didn't even know where in the Shinobi world this guy who looked like some kind of priest suddenly came from.
And why now? After all, they were supposed to convene this so-called United Shinobi World Meeting. Then they would have forced Nagato to act and, in a moment of general despair, would have revealed their way of saving the world by giving them the last straw.
By launching a hiding plan, they would be able to resurrect his mother as soon as possible, without waiting for the right moment.
If Uchiha Yue wins, they will have to start from scratch.
"Let's go see what's really going on there tomorrow!"
Black Zetsu shook his head. In fact, he didn't really believe in the existence of the so-called Child of Prophecy. Lately, although he was busy learning sealing techniques, he was also thinking about how to kill Uchiha Yue. Initially, the answer was to kill Uchiha Yue three times in a short period of time.
Now the answer was: no way. Other than resurrecting his mother, he couldn't think of any way to kill this immortal monster with absolute strength.
