Chapter 420
[“I didn’t understand why the manuscript on the study of the summoning technique forbids the use of it before signing the contract. So this is the reason. Will it teleport you away?”]
[“In fact, most people will not have any accidents if they violate this prohibition. I heard that it seems to be a problem of adaptability to space-time ninjutsu. So those who want to learn Jiraiya’s method and run to Myoboku Mountain should forget it. Even if it really happens, they will most likely be teleported to other places. In the past, many people have died in this way.”]
[“Why do I feel that what the Third Hokage said seems to be true? Jiraiya was randomly teleported to Myoboku Mountain. It was really fate that guided him to sign a summoning contract with the toad.”]
[“Don’t think too much about this kind of thing, otherwise you don’t have to do anything in the future. Just wait for the guidance of fate.”]
[Under the leadership of Bunta, Jiraiya came to the Toad Oil Waterfall and met the Sage Fukasaku. 】
【Fukasaku was not surprised at Jiraiya's arrival. When Jiraiya asked him, he said that these were all things that the Great Toad Sage had predicted long ago, including Jiraiya's appearance and that he would get his own prophecy later. 】
【After hearing this, Jiraiya couldn't wait to ask, "If that human is me, what is the prophecy for me?"】
【Fukasaku said that he didn't know either, and asked Jiraiya to stay in Myoboku Mountain to practice while waiting for the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, but Jiraiya couldn't accept it and just wanted to go back quickly to please the girl. 】
【"Don't complain! This is your destiny... Being able to come to Myoboku Mountain is proof that you have been chosen as the child of destiny." Fukasaku scolded with a serious expression. Although Jiraiya was a little reluctant, the title of the child of destiny sounded pretty cool, and he could continue to become stronger, so Jiraiya agreed to Fukasaku's request and stayed. 】
["Although I know it's because of the prophecy, I'm really envious of the opportunity to learn senjutsu so easily."]
["To become the top ninja, you can't do without two factors. Either luck or talent, but in the final analysis, it still depends on luck, because talent, blood, resources, family background and other advantages are all determined by luck. For example, the number of people from the Uchiha clan who become strong is more than that of other ninja clans."]
["The above is brainwashed by the theory of destiny. If everyone holds this idea, then I can guarantee that Naruto will never become that kind of strong man in the future."]
["Okay, okay, what are you talking about? Now we are watching Jiraiya's story."]
"Well... Lecherous Sage, didn't you say that I have to wait until I grow up a few years and have more chakra before I can start practicing Sage Mode? Then why can you start practicing at such a young age?" Naruto found the bright spot.
Jiraiya explained, "That's just a preparatory step for practicing Sage Mode. The purpose is to calm the mind so that you can better perceive natural energy. Don't you know what state you are in? You are so energetic, like you have ADHD."
"In order to make it easier for you to practice Sage Mode in the future, accumulate more chakra, which will give you more trial and error costs. Besides, there are still many things you need to learn at this stage, why are you in such a hurry?"
"I'm just asking..." Naruto muttered in reply, stretched out his hand to condense a Rasengan in his palm and then dispersed the chakra, repeating the process to familiarize himself.
[After that, Jiraiya traveled between Myoboku Mountain and Konoha, practicing both ninjutsu and Sage Mode. ]
[Although he had made enough efforts, on the one hand, the difficulty of practicing Sage Mode was extremely high, and on the other hand, the talents of his two teammates were also better than his, so in his daily performance, Jiraiya was still the last one, often dragging others down in various training tasks. ]
[Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Jiraiya, who was gradually improving in his practice of immortal arts, slowly caught up with Orochimaru and Tsunade. During this period, he also successfully signed a summoning contract with the toad of Myoboku Mountain. ]
[In this way, Jiraiya spent his teenage years. ]
["Is Jiraiya talented or not? His action pace has always been dragging down his two teammates, but he seems to be very successful in practicing immortal arts."]
["Please, pay attention to their age! Those who can convert their talent into strength at this age are rare in the entire ninja world. A temporary lag does not mean anything."]
["Isn't it catching up quickly? Anyone who really thinks Jiraiya has no talent is too stupid.Naive. "]
[A few years have passed. On this day, Jiraiya was practicing immortal arts as usual. Leaning against a wooden board, Jiraiya sat cross-legged steadily on the top of a sharp stone pillar.]
['I have indeed become stronger after coming here, but... Tsunade is still as cold as ever...' Thinking of this, Jiraiya shook his head slightly: 'No! As a person chosen by fate, the goal is just to be popular with girls. Is this really okay? Am I going to become stronger just for this?']
[At this time, the arrival of Gamabunta interrupted Jiraiya's practice. It turned out that the great toad sage had received a prophecy about him. Jiraiya, who was impatient, came to the great toad sage's seat under the guidance of Bunta to listen.]
["Hey, is this the process of practicing immortal arts? This action is to sense natural energy, right? Then if I replicate the environment, can I try to train myself? ”]
[“There are still people who hold this idea now. It has been said for a long time that the practice of Sage Mode is quite risky.”]
[“If you are ready to give it a try, you might as well give it a try, but there is a high probability that you will not be able to sense natural energy. Even if you can sense it, I think the possibility of success is absolutely ridiculous. After all, it is a fairy art that is regarded as a trump card by Kabuto Yakushi, and even Orochimaru cannot master it.”]
[“Before the prophecy, Jiraiya’s reason for becoming stronger has always been that.”]
[“Such a dream cannot support his life, so he is confused now.”]
[“After getting the prophecy, it is good to have a dream that you put your whole life into.”]
[“At least it is much better than simply chasing girls. Now everyone respects Jiraiya as the hero Jiraiya.”]
