Chapter 404
Naruto replied indifferently: "Even if he is really the son of prophecy, can I become Hokage and bring peace to the ninja world by relying on this title without doing anything now? In the final analysis, it depends on my own efforts."
Sasuke, who was listening to their conversation, nodded secretly. He also agreed with Naruto's answer. After all, no one hated the arranged fate more than him. This kind of destined feeling was completely erasing their efforts for this, which Sasuke could not tolerate.
Nagato lowered his head and coughed lightly a few times.
Jiraiya told him the content of this prophecy decades ago, and Nagato had always taken it for granted that the person in the prophecy who would bring unprecedented stability to the ninja world must be him.
But now, after knowing the loopholes in his plan, Nagato realized that he was probably the son of prophecy who represented destruction, and Naruto represented the side of peace.
However, Nagato could never accept that Naruto, who held such naive ideas, could bring real peace to the ninja world, because it made Nagato's past actions seem like a joke.
'You can give me the child of prophecy if you want it, Uzumaki Naruto... But I will definitely find a plan that can truly achieve peace, and I will never give in to that. '
In the Pure Land, after listening to the complete prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, Uchiha Madara's attitude was similar to Nagato's, and even more disdainful.
Although he didn't know Naruto's specific approach to achieving peace, with his naive character similar to that of Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara knew without thinking that Naruto could only think of empathy, which was essentially the same as what Senju Hashirama did at the beginning.
For Uchiha Madara, who pursued eternal peace, this kind of short-term peace was never within his consideration, and he naturally sneered at the so-called child of prophecy.
"Although it's just a boring prophecy, it also points out the opponent I need to face in the future... Uzumaki Naruto, it depends on whether you can maintain this destined future under the command of Uchiha Madara!"
['Big Toad Sage, this is the time to make a decision. ' Jiraiya thought so, and immediately made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "You are the one who brings destruction, so defeating you here is my mission as a master."]
[At this time, the Animal Path summoned the Human Path and the Hungry Ghost Path. Seeing the two people who raised their heads and showed the same Samsara Eye, Jiraiya showed a puzzled expression: "Three people, what's going on? There are actually three people with Samsara Eye? Is it that guy's ninjutsu? I'm afraid there is some mystery in it."]
[Although he was a little confused, Jiraiya immediately cheered up and smiled confidently: "Then it's almost my turn to play! Start now Replace Ninjutsu with Senjutsu! Looking up from behind the sky, Jiraiya is a hero..."]
["After so much chatter, the fight is finally about to begin."]
["Only three people were arranged to fight, and three more were lurking in the dark. In this situation where the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, it is not unfair for Jiraiya to lose."]
["Let's not talk about the unknown ability, which is the same for both sides, but hiding three opponents is very fatal. With this tactic, I can think of several ways to deal with Jiraiya."]
[Jiraiya shook his head and gestured, preparing to improvise a Kabuki, but just as he started, he was punched in the face by two toads on the left and right.]
["Don't scream in our ears!"*2]
[Jiraiya was very depressed by these two punches, and then the two toads suddenly quarreled across Jiraiya. Just as Jiraiya was speechless, Renjiandao rushed over without saying a word, and Jiraiya, who reacted instantly, kicked him hard in the face, knocking him away and blinding him. 】
【"Okay, okay, you two should stop arguing and get rid of these guys." Jiraiya persuaded. Seeing this, Shima Sage restrained his temper and snorted: "Hmph, how about we eat fried food tonight? Boy, you prepare the oil, and the old man uses wind escape."】
["Tsk, Jiraiya has the habit of not doing things properly in such a serious occasion. Just fight, why dance?"]
["So fast! The opponent didn't react at all!"]
["I remember Naruto seemed to say that the Sage Mode can improve perception. This reaction and counterattack is normal, but the speed is really fast!"]
【Under the command of Shima Sage, the three put their hands together at the same time, and then puffed up their chests, and oil, wind, and fire spurted out of their mouths at the same time. 】
【"Senjutsu Goemon!"】
【The oil waves inThe hurricane was carrying a raging fire. Facing this overwhelming attack, Hungry Ghost Dao calmly leaped forward and stretched out his hands towards the oil wave, swallowing up this powerful magic in an instant. 】
【At this time, Jiraiya and the two immortals who were standing on the wall and looking down at the situation looked at the oil that disappeared out of thin air and the enemies who were unharmed, with a look of doubt on their faces. ]
[In order to understand the situation, Jiraiya kicked off his clogs and lay on the wall like a toad: "Let's use close combat to confirm it."]
["Rather than a sea of fire, it's more like a sea of oil."]
["The speed of absorbing ninjutsu is too fast. Such a large-scale ninjutsu was absorbed in less than two seconds!"]
["I was thinking whether it would be possible to injure the enemy with a large-scale ninjutsu before the ninjutsu was absorbed. Now it seems that I took it for granted."]
["I wonder if the tactic of using a large amount of chakra to kill the opponent will succeed?"]
["Jiraiya is becoming more and more like a toad. Is he really relying on this kind of operation to improve his combat effectiveness?"]
[After Jiraiya finished speaking, he exerted force on his limbs and shot out directly towards the hungry ghost path. 】
【"Senjutsu: Super Large Rasengan!"】
【Jiraiya controlled the Rasengan with a diameter of nearly ten meters and hit Hungry Ghost Path fiercely. Hungry Ghost Path still did not dodge and directly stood up to resist his attack. However, it swallowed up all the chakra in the attack in a few seconds. Jiraiya thus confirmed that the opponent had the ability to absorb ninjutsu. 】
【At the same time, the Human Path, who was originally knocked out, came behind Jiraiya in an instant and launched an attack. The tacit cooperation of Fukasaku Sage quickly threw a smoke bomb to hide Jiraiya's figure. Jiraiya also seized this opportunity and punched the Human Path from behind. However, he did not expect that this sure-fire punch was blocked steadily by the Human Path, who could not see. 】
