Chapter 219 Summoning Beasts
"Well, Naruto's strength is not bad right now, but he has not had many actual battles and has little experience in life-or-death battles."
Minato looked at Naruto peeking out from behind the sofa, thought for a moment, and then spoke to Jiraiya.
"That's normal. After all, Naruto is still young, so it's normal for him to have fewer life-or-death battles."
Jiraiya nodded in understanding. At his age, he didn't have much combat experience, and it wasn't until later on the battlefield that he gradually honed it.
"As for Kurama, you can rest assured about him. Naruto has become a very good friend of Kurama. He is a perfect Jinchuriki, just like the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki on the Cloud Ninja battlefield."
Minato's consciousness briefly returned to the sealed space, glanced at Kurama who was frantically munching on a watermelon, gave a helpless smirk, and then returned to the outside world to speak to Jiraiya.
Nine-Lama: Hmph, wait a minute, did someone just glance at me?
Little Lama's head popped out of the watermelon, and he looked around but didn't see anyone.
Wait a minute, at this time Hashirama and Kushina shouldn't be awake yet. The only one awake should be Minato, but where is Minato?
Where are they?
Little Lama looked around, and after searching in vain, he buried his head and continued eating watermelon.
Oh well, let the crickets be crickets. Haven't I been cricketed enough over the years?
Upon hearing Minato's words, Jiraiya could not hide the surprise in his eyes.
The Nine-Tails is terrifyingly powerful and has a tyrannical nature; it kills without blinking an eye.
Naruto can become friends with Kurama? That's unbelievable.
"It's true. In a few years, when Naruto is strong enough, he should be able to freely transform into a tailed beast."
Minato thought about it and estimated that it would take at most two years for Naruto to establish a connection with Kurama.
At that point, it won't just be a simple matter of borrowing chakra; it will be a real battle alongside the Nine-Tails.
Wow, I suddenly realized how fast my son is growing up. He's definitely my and Kushina's child.
"As expected of Minato, Naruto is your child. Perhaps he is the child of prophecy."
Jiraiya laughed heartily, then joked.
"Come on, Jiraiya-sensei. You always said I was the child of prophecy back then, and now you're saying Naruto is the child of prophecy. Seriously, how can someone be the child of prophecy...?"
Suddenly, Minato stopped, as if he had just remembered something.
It seems that, according to the First Hokage, Naruto is the child of prophecy.
The reason why I didn't think of it for so long is that after meeting and explaining to Minato, Hashirama rarely mentioned Naruto's identity as the child of prophecy, because in his eyes, his disciple Naruto was just Naruto.
Now that Jiraiya has brought up the Child of Prophecy again, Minato's long-held thoughts resurfaced. He changed the subject, looked seriously into Jiraiya's eyes, and said solemnly.
"Jiraiya-sensei, Naruto really is the child of prophecy."
Jiraiya's pupils contracted sharply. He looked at his former disciple, whose expression was sincere and did not seem to be lying at all.
"But according to the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, the child of prophecy should be my disciple, right?"
Minato was aware of this as well. He and Hashirama had discussed it before, and their conclusion was that if the blue screen hadn't appeared, Naruto would most likely have become Jiraiya's disciple, based on the general course of events.
In other words, the prophecy has been altered due to external interference.
"This is not the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, but... the Sage of Six Paths' prophecy."
Minato recalled what Kurama had said when it was drunk one day. Putting aside the parts that praised its own strength, the only useful information was that Naruto was the child of prophecy mentioned by the old man.
So, who is the old man it's talking about?
According to the Uzumaki clan's historical records, the Tailed Beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths from the Divine Tree and possess the original power of chakra.
In other words, the old man that Kurama mentioned is the Sage of the Six Paths.
The Great Toad Sage appears to be the same age as the Sage of Six Paths.
If the historical records are correct.
But regardless of whether the blue screen appears or not, Naruto will become the child of prophecy in both prophecies.
"Wait a minute, Minato, where did you get this information from?"
Jiraiya plopped down on the sofa, slumped into it, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it down.
"I'm 70% certain about the information I got from Nine-Tails."
Minato also sat down and used a hand formed from chakra to pour tea for Jiraiya.
"I'll go back and ask the Great Toad Sage again. By the way, does Naruto have a summoning beast? Would he like to come to Mount Myōboku to study?"
Jiraiya thought about it and realized that Naruto was his disciple's child, so as an elder, he should give him something in return.
However, with Minato and Kushina present, Jiraiya couldn't very well give them a book with his own autograph. So, after thinking about it, it seemed that teaching the summoning beasts himself was the best option right now.
"No, after all, I can't use psychic magic in my current state, so I'd have to trouble you, teacher."
Minato had considered teaching Naruto how to summon beasts, but neither he nor Kushina were suitable for it. Hashirama, on the other hand, hadn't considered it, since he had hardly ever used summoning jutsu since childhood.
Incidentally, he is a contractor of Shikkotsu Forest, but his Sage Mode is not from Shikkotsu Forest. Instead, it is a Sage Mode that formed autonomously with the infusion of Sage Chakra from the Slug Sage.
It was by chance that he formed a contract with the Slug Immortal, and this contract was passed down to his granddaughter.
Based on his previous observations, Hashirama felt that Naruto's physique was similar to his own, and he estimated that Naruto could also awaken Sage Mode on his own. In addition, he had already used Naruto's body to activate Sage Mode twice.
Therefore, it is even more unnecessary.
However, Jiraiya has now suggested that it would be good to give Naruto a summoning beast contract.
Minato gently patted the nightcap behind the sofa, and then Naruto jumped out.
"Huh, a summoning beast? But why is it a toad?"
Naruto thought about the toad that Jiraiya had just summoned; it was kind of clownish.
"Oh, little Naruto, you should know that my contract is with Mount Myōboku, one of the three great sacred lands. There you can meet a toad as big as the Nine-Tails and learn powerful Sage Techniques."
Jiraiya spoke to Naruto as if he were an old man trying to coax a child.
When Naruto heard that it was the same size as Kurama, his eyes lit up.
Big means strong, symbolizing the power of the tile!
Well, Naruto doesn't think the toad is too ugly.
As for Sage Mode, is it the same mode the teacher used back then? I think I can use it myself, but I haven't tried it...
