Chapter 309 The Child of Prophecy is Hanekawa
Chapter 309 The Child of Prophecy is Hanekawa (Three Chapters in One)
"Kaguya."
Hanekawa glanced at the distraught Great Toad Sage and asked, "Does the sacred tree have the ability to defend itself?"
What he was worried about was that someone or a toad would take advantage of their absence to attack the sacred tree and cause trouble.
If something goes wrong, a lot of time will be wasted.
"Have."
Kaguya Otsutsuki said in a cold tone, "No one can destroy the sacred tree except you and me."
The sacred tree is not a dead thing.
Plus it absorbed the chakra of the Two-Tails, the Eight-Tails and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
As far as chakra is concerned, there is no ninja in the entire ninja world who can surpass him.
Moreover, the sacred tree and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki are one and the same.
If anyone attacks or destroys the sacred tree, she will instantly sense it and arrive in time.
"That's good."
Hanekawa held her hand and walked in front of the Great Toad Sage.
"Lady Goddess."
The big toad fairy forced a smile and greeted, "Lord God's Messenger."
Although the sacred tree destroyed Mount Myōboku, it dared not be angry or speak out.
At least there is hope as long as we are alive.
At worst, I can just go find another Myobokusan.
"I've always been a fair person."
Hanekawa looked at the Great Toad Sage and said, "If you want to go to Konoha Village, I can lend you a piece of land."
Although he didn't like Mount Myoboku, it was one of the three holy places for summoning beasts after all.
If the ninjas of Konoha Village had a toad as a summoning beast, their strength would be greatly improved.
For them, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.
The prerequisite is that these toads must be obedient.
But Hanekawa believed that with him and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki around, no one at Myoboku Mountain would dare to act rashly.
If something really happens, just destroy them.
The big toad immortal was stunned when he heard this.
Is this to recruit them?
It felt inexplicably relieved.
As long as they are useful, they can survive.
But on second thought, they at Myobokusan had lost miserably.
Not only did he lose his place to live, but he also had to go to Konoha Village to work.
"Thank you, Lord God."
The Great Toad Immortal sighed and said.
What can I do if I don’t have a job?
Is he guarding this sacred tree?
Who knows one day they will all be absorbed by the sacred tree and turned into nutrients.
Wandering in the ninja world?
But now the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world is Konoha Village.
It would be better to go directly to Konoha Village, at least the treatment will not be bad.
Especially the contractor of Myobokusan, Jiraiya, is a high-ranking official of Konoha Village.
"I remember you had a prophecy."
Hanekawa suddenly thought of something and said.
"What prophecy?"
The big toad immortal felt a tightness in his heart.
Its mind worked frantically, wondering if any of its previous predictions might have offended them.
"The prophecy of the Child of Prophecy."
Hanekawa reminded, "You said that the child of prophecy will bring changes to the entire ninja world."
“That…I did say that.”
The big toad immortal was sweating profusely under his gaze.
The strongest people in the ninja world today are Hanekawa and Kaguya Otsutsuki.
It said that the child of prophecy would revolutionize the ninja world. Wasn't it targeting them?
"I don't know who the child of prophecy is."
The Great Toad Immortal thought quickly and said, "Now it seems that it is the Lord God's Messenger!"
Hanekawa couldn't help but laugh.
But on second thought, this child of prophecy can be said to be of benefit rather than harm.
He had been thinking about how to talk to Tsunade about the unification of the ninja world.
Now it seems that perhaps we can start with the identity of the Son of Prophecy.
Although Tsunade does not believe in prophecies, there are many people who do.
When all the ninjas in the ninja world believe it, even the fake can become true.
By then, even if Tsunade doesn't believe it, she will probably have doubts.
Maybe I can even create a new entry.
"In that case, I will give you a task."
Hanekawa thought for a moment and said, "Go to the ninja world and spread the word that I am the child of prophecy."
"Yes."
Although the Great Toad Immortal didn't quite understand, since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to agree.
It now hopes that this operation will not cause changes in the future or cause it to lose its predictive ability.
"You can contact me when you arrive at Konoha Village."
Hanekawa paused and said, "You can also go find Jiraiya."
After he finished speaking, he and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki left Myōboku Mountain.
Seeing this, the Toad Immortal couldn't help but relax.
From the moment it recognized Kaguya Otsutsuki, its heart has been tense.
It is afraid that if it is not careful it will go to the Pure Land.
And the most terrifying thing is that when you reach the Pure Land, you will most likely be able to see Kaguya Otsutsuki and Hanekawa.
This is truly a matter of life and death that cannot be escaped.
"Master, what is going on?"
Gamabunta couldn't help but ask.
It had wanted to ask this question before, but was stopped by Fukasaku.
Not only Gamabunta, but other toads such as Gamaken and Gamahiro also came here.
After all, the movement of the sacred tree is so loud that it is hard not to notice it.
But when they arrived here, they saw a scene that left them dumbfounded.
The giant toad immortal who was like a god in their eyes could actually be so servile.
“Fukasaku, you go ahead and tell the story.”
The Great Toad Immortal thought for a moment and said.
In this situation, there is no point in hiding the truth.
They have all seen what happened just now.
Especially after the sacred trees were planted in Myoboku Mountain, they all had to be moved to the Ninja World.
If you don't explain it clearly, they will probably complain.
"Yes."
Fukasaku took a deep breath and replied.
Regarding Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Hanekawa, only this one and the Great Toad Sage are relatively clear.
The rest of the toads were too young. They had only heard of the Six Paths Sage but didn't know the Goddess of the Rabbit.
The Great Toad Immortal looked at the toads and fell into deep thought.
Although it is reluctant to leave Myoboku Mountain, the sacred tree growing here is too dangerous for the toads.
It had witnessed the power of the sacred tree thousands of years ago.
It was not Kaguya Ōtsutsuki or Hanekawa who used the sacred tree, but Tsukihime who used the sacred tree.
Since we have to leave, Konoha Village becomes the only option.
Although Hanekawa did not explicitly say that they must go to Konoha Village, the Great Toad Sage did not dare to go to any other ninja village.
After much thought, it decided to find Jiraiya back.
After all, he is Tsunade's teammate and has a say in Konoha Village.
With him around, the toads in Myoboku Mountain can save their lives.
All that’s left is to just work for Konoha Village with peace of mind.
There was a sound of inhalation.
The Great Toad Sage came to his senses and found that Fukasaku had already told the story from a thousand years ago.
The toads made such sounds because they were shocked.
Now they finally understood why the big toad immortal was so humble.
"Okay, now that you know the whole story, go down and prepare."
The Great Toad Sage said in a deep voice, "We will set off for Konoha Village in two days."
"Yes."
The toads responded with complicated expressions.
They all knew that what the Great Toad Immortal did was the most correct.
But leaving their homes still makes them feel sad.
As one of the three holy places, this is the first time they have received such treatment.
"Put away your inappropriate emotions."
The Great Toad Sage glanced at them and said, "If you don't want Myoboku Mountain to be destroyed, then behave yourself!"
"Yes."
The toads responded quickly.
"Fukasaku."
The Great Toad Sage nodded and said, "Tell little Jiraiya to come see me immediately."
"I'll go find him right away."
Fukasaku turned and left.
As a contractor of Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya's whereabouts have always been known to them.
In less than half an hour, the Toad Immortal met him in the temple.
"Master, when did such a big tree appear on Myoboku Mountain?"
Jiraiya asked in surprise.
After receiving the notification, he used the reverse summoning technique to rush to Myoboku Mountain, and then saw the sacred tree at a glance.
After all, the sacred tree is so huge that it cannot be hidden at all.
You can see it from every corner of Myobokuyama.
“It was planted before.”
The Great Toad Sage said with a stern face, "Its main function is to purify the natural energy of Mount Myōboku."
"I see."
Jiraiya didn't think much about it and asked, "Master, are you looking for me because of a new prophecy?"
"Not a new prophecy."
The Great Toad Immortal shook his head and said, "I want to talk to you about the Child of Prophecy."
"Feel sorry."
Jiraiya said a little embarrassedly, "For all these years, I have never been sure who the child of prophecy is."
"I have determined who the Child of Prophecy is."
The Great Toad Immortal was silent for two seconds and then spoke.
"who is it?"
Jiraiya asked in surprise, "Could it be Nagato? Or maybe Minato?"
In the prophecy, he is the teacher of the Son of Prophecy.
Among the students he accepted, Nagato and Minato Namikaze were the best, so he thought of them first.
"It's Hanekawa."
The Great Toad Sage explained, "He has enough strength and the corresponding ability to bring changes to the ninja world."
"what?"
Jiraiya couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "But he's not my student, what's going on?"
Although he had been out searching for the child of prophecy, he was aware that Konoha Village had a new Hokage, and that was Hanekawa.
Judging from Hanekawa's performance in the Third Ninja World War, there is indeed no problem for him to be Hokage.
To be fair, he is also better than Nagato and Minato Namikaze.
But he doesn't fit the description of a child of prophecy.
"..."
The big toad immortal was suddenly stuck.
It had forgotten this.
But it is simply impossible to let Hanekawa become Jiraiya's student.
If the previous predictions were wrong, it would seem that this giant toad immortal is not worthy of its name.
Moreover, Jiraiya has been working on this prophecy for so many years, and now it is said that it is wrong, which will definitely make him very unhappy.
"The prophecy was vague. It said that the child of prophecy would bring change to the ninja world, but we didn't know whether it would be peace or destruction."
The Great Toad Immortal said, "It is precisely because of the duality that we need your guidance."
"what do you mean……?"
Jiraiya was still somewhat confused.
“The prophecy speaks of guidance, but we default to a teacher-student relationship.”
The Great Toad Immortal asked back, "Even if it's not a teacher-student relationship, it can still be guided, right?"
Jiraiya was stunned.
This seems to be the case.
If you look closely at what the Toad Immortal said, you will find loopholes.
But Jiraiya was already used to obeying its orders, so he didn't doubt it at the first moment.
"Hekawa is Tsunade's student."
The Great Toad Sage added, "You and Tsunade are teammates, and he is half your student. You are qualified to guide him."
"Is that so?"
Jiraiya felt that he had been convinced by the Great Toad Sage.
The most important thing is that Hanekawa does seem to be the child of prophecy.
Invincible strength and the youngest Hokage, these two things are enough to have a huge impact on the entire ninja world, that is, change.
Jiraiya couldn't think of anyone more suitable than him.
Even if the God of Ninja World, Hashirama Senju, were resurrected, he would still be just as good as him.
Unless it's the legendary Sage of Six Paths. "I understand! I'll go back to Konoha Village now!"
Jiraiya said enthusiastically.
He had been searching for so many years and finally found the Son of Prophecy, so he was naturally excited.
Moreover, this child of prophecy is the fifth Hokage of Konoha Village.
As a ninja of Konoha Village, he doesn't need to be caught in a dilemma.
Jiraiya had always been worried that the child of prophecy would be a ninja from another ninja village.
What should he do when the Child of Prophecy comes into conflict with Konoha Village?
Now there is no such worry.
Konoha Village is about to bring changes to the ninja world, and just thinking about it makes him excited.
"Not only you, but also Myoboku-san."
The Great Toad Sage said in a serious tone, "The child of prophecy has been found, and Myoboku Mountain should also do its part."
"As expected of you, Master!"
Jiraiya sighed upon hearing this.
It is because of the teachings of Myoboku Mountain that he pursues the Child of Prophecy so hard.
Now it seems that Myobokusan is still as willing as he is to do everything in its power to achieve peace in the ninja world.
"I want you to go back to Konoha Village and talk to Hanekawa about setting aside a special residence for Myobokuyama."
The Great Toad Immortal thought for a moment and said.
Although Hanekawa had said before that he would give them a piece of land, it was afraid of Hanekawa and Kaguya Otsutsuki from the bottom of its heart.
It would be safer to let Jiraiya do this kind of thing.
"Myoboku Mountain is very powerful. With your joining, Konoha Village will be able to reach a higher level."
Jiraiya assured, "As the Hokage, Hanekawa will definitely not refuse."
"Once I have a place to live, I plan to increase the number of contractors at Myoboku Mountain."
The Great Toad Immortal smiled and said, "I'll trouble you to draw up a list when the time comes."
"no problem!"
Jiraiya smiled and said, "There are many excellent ninjas in Konoha Village. They will satisfy the master!"
"Then you go back to Konoha Village first."
The Great Toad Immortal instructed, "We will prepare for two days, and then we will come to find you."
"Yes!"
Jiraiya agreed immediately.
Seeing this, Fukasaku couldn't help but sigh.
As Jiraiya's fairy arts teacher, it truly has no ill will towards him.
But in this situation, I have no choice but to lie to him.
Jiraiya bowed slightly and then turned to leave.
He did not return to the Yuyin Village, but went straight back to Konoha Village.
"I never thought that Hanekawa was the child of prophecy."
Jiraiya walked down the familiar street and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Although it was an accident, he was very satisfied with the result.
After all, Hanekawa is the Hokage of Konoha Village and Tsunade's student.
Jiraiya thought about this and came to the Hokage building.
"Jiraiya-sama."
The ANBU ninja Haru came over and said, "Hokage-sama is out on business and is not here."
"When does he come back?"
Jiraiya asked.
"do not know."
Haru shook her head and said, "Hokage-sama didn't tell me."
"Where's Tsunade? Where is she?"
Jiraiya asked after thinking for a moment.
The big toad immortal only gave him two days.
He didn't know when Hanekawa would come back, so he could only go to Tsunade to discuss it.
I'm sure she won't refuse such a good thing.
"She's in the casino."
Qing replied.
"That's not surprising."
After Jiraiya asked for the location, he headed to the casino.
The time came to noon.
The sunlight poured into the casino through the window, illuminating Tsunade's gloomy face.
Without Hanekawa by her side, there was only one outcome to her gambling, and that was losing.
"hateful!"
Tsunade said very angrily.
"Would you like me to lend you some money?"
A familiar voice sounded not far from her.
"Jiraiya?"
Tsunade was a little surprised to see him, "When did you return to Konoha Village?"
"I came back today."
Jiraiya glanced at the gambling table and said, "It looks like your gambling luck hasn't changed at all."
"Did you come back just to get beaten?"
Tsunade asked, clenching her fists.
"I came to you to discuss something with you."
Jiraiya quickly changed the subject and said, "I just went to see the master, and he said that Myobokusan wants to sign a contract with the ninjas of Konoha Village."
"What do you mean?"
Tsunade asked, somewhat confused.
"That is to say, there will be many more Myobokusan contractors like me in Konoha Village."
"That's a good thing," Jiraiya explained.
"why?"
Tsunade frowned and said, "Contractors from the three holy places have always waited for opportunities and rarely take the initiative to look for them."
"The Child of Prophecy has been found at Myoboku Mountain."
Jiraiya said, unable to hide his emotions.
"who is it?"
Tsunade's frown deepened upon hearing this.
She remembered Jiraiya saying that the Child of Prophecy would be born among his students.
Nagato? Or Minato Namikaze?
If it's them, that's not good.
Because above them, there is a more comprehensive Hanekawa.
What if they believed Jiraiya's lies and went against Hanekawa or Konoha Village?
This was a situation that Tsunade didn't want to see.
"It's Hanekawa."
Jiraiya said with a smile.
"what?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, a look of alarm on her face, and said, "He is my student, not yours."
"I know."
Jiraiya looked at her miserly appearance and suddenly felt a little envious of Hanekawa.
"Then why is he the child of prophecy?"
Tsunade still didn't let her guard down.
The Child of Prophecy was not important to her.
All she wanted was Hanekawa.
"Is such that."
Jiraiya repeated the words of the Great Toad Sage.
"Why do I feel like it's lying to you?"
Tsunade snorted coldly and asked, "According to what it said, didn't you find the wrong target after searching for so long?"
"The master would not lie to me, and predictions are not accurate to begin with, so it is normal for errors to occur."
Jiraiya said with full conviction.
"As you wish."
Tsunade didn't bother to care anymore and said, "I've retired. You can go find the Anbu and arrange a place for Myoboku Mountain to live."
"Well."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jiraiya smiled and asked, "It's noon now, shall I treat you to a meal?"
"Need not."
Tsunade refused and said, "I want to continue gambling and wait for that brat to come back and cook for me."
Because the food cooked by Hanekawa is so delicious, her appetite has become spoiled.
Jiraiya wanted to say something but Tsunade didn't give him a chance and turned back to gambling.
He sighed.
Tsunade's attitude was already very clear.
Without giving it a second thought, Jiraiya left the casino and went to the ANBU.
Because he was a high-ranking official in Konoha Village, the Anbu quickly made arrangements for him.
But it was not in Konoha Village, but in the Death Forest outside the village.
After all, toads are not human beings, and they are not used to living in human buildings.
It would be just right to find a habitat in the Death Forest.
Jiraiya stroked his chin.
His task now is to guide Hanekawa.
The best way is to hold an important position in Konoha Village, so that you can provide better guidance.
Jiraiya thought for a moment and decided to find out the current situation of Konoha Village first.
After all, he has been away for too long.
An hour later, instead of being clear, Jiraiya became even more confused.
Especially the Mineral Department and the Market Finance Department made him feel very unfamiliar.
But Jiraiya realized that Hanekawa was the child of prophecy.
Is this the change that was predicted?
Jiraiya was also confused.
He doesn’t understand, how can I guide him?
……
The Raikage's Office in Kumogakure Village.
Hanekawa and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared out of nowhere.
"Lord Raikage!"
Samui and Mabui shouted, standing up.
"How's it going?"
Hanekawa glanced at Mabui, then walked over to the Raikage's desk and sat down.
Kaguya Otsutsuki was like his bodyguard, following him closely and standing quietly behind him.
"I have already notified the Jonin of the Hidden Cloud Village."
Mabui said solemnly, "They all agreed to choose you as the fifth Raikage."
In fact, she put a lot of effort into it.
In order to convince them, she also brought the Fourth Raikage with her.
Under the excuse of bearing the humiliation, they all agreed.
"Well done."
Hanekawa chuckled and said.
He didn't care whether the Jonins of the Hidden Cloud Village were sincere or pretending.
In short, as long as the Hidden Cloud Village can get running, that's enough.
"Your first mission is to find out all the mineral resources within the Land of Thunder."
Hanekawa gave the order directly.
"The Kingdom of Thunder?"
Mabui asked hesitantly, "If the daimyo asks, how should I answer?"
"He won't ask."
Hanekawa said casually.
Ma Buyi was shocked.
What does it mean?
She thought of Hanekawa's style and quickly guessed what he wanted to do.
Ma Buyi hesitated to speak.
She really wanted to say that attacking the daimyo was a serious violation of the ninja code.
But Hanekawa obviously doesn't care.
She and the Hidden Cloud Village were living under someone else's roof, so she didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Yes."
Ma Buyi said in a deep voice, "We will do it immediately."
Hanekawa looked at her and thought that it was easy to deal with smart people.
"Lord Raikage."
Mabui hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Yumu Ren has been locked up, what should we do with him?"
Upon hearing this, Samui also looked at Hanekawa.
"Lock it first."
Hanekawa said nonchalantly.
"Yes."
Ma Buyi sighed inwardly and said.
This suspense made her even more worried.
"That's it for today. I'll come back tomorrow."
Hanekawa stood up, pulled Kaguya Otsutsuki and disappeared.
His goal had been achieved, so there was no need to worry about it any further.
The rest will be left to Samui and Mabui.
He might as well go home and make lunch for Tsunade.
