Jiraiya's smile froze.
[So urgent?]
[etc. ]
[Have all the exits connecting Mount Myōboku to the ninja world stopped working?]
What happened?!
Jiraiya frowned immediately.
A bad feeling welled up inside me.
But it was quickly suppressed again.
"What happened?"
"Has the Great Toad Sage awakened?"
"Is there a new prophecy?"
Jiraiya asked hastily.
"I...I don't know."
"In short."
"Please get ready."
"Lord Fukasaku will soon be able to reverse-soul-summon you."
"Lord Fukasaku and Lord Shima have been waiting for you for a long time."
[Upon hearing this.]
Jiraiya took a deep breath.
The situation was more urgent than he had imagined.
[He glanced around at the lifeless scene.]
He frowned.
"Let's continue when we get back."
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now."
Jiraiya turned his gaze back to the communication frog path at Mount Myōboku.
[Upon hearing this.]
The communication frog breathed a sigh of relief.
[As long as Jiraiya didn't refuse, that's fine.]
Thus, its mission can be considered complete.
"Okay!"
The communication frog nodded.
[Raise your hands, webbed toes, and form a mudra.]
"Well then, Jiraiya-sama, I'll be going now."
Jiraiya nodded slightly.
[Bang--]
Seeing this, the communication frog of Mount Myōboku immediately activated its technique.
[A loud explosion.]
[Then it turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.]
Jiraiya's expression turned somewhat serious.
He slowly sat down again.
[Look around at everything.]
I feel a little irritated.
[so. ]
What new prophecy will it be?
It seems like everyone was in cahoots.
The Three Holy Sites.
[Over here at Ryuchi-dong.]
[A snake directly found Orochimaru.]
[They brought a message from the White Snake Immortal of Ryuchi Cave.]
[And, the confidence to stop this war.]
[Remove Kabuto Yakushi's perfect Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode.]
[certainly. ]
Orochimaru was naturally aware of the power of Ryuchi Cave.
[Upon hearing that Kabuto Yakushi was involved in this war.]
Orochimaru was stunned for a long time.
[I couldn't immediately come to my senses.]
[Ryuchi Cave - Perfect Sage Mode?]
[Unlike Ryuchi-dong.]
[Over here in Shikkotsu Forest.]
[Slug directly reverses perception to Tsunade.]
[When Tsunade summoned the smaller slugs, which were split off from the slug.]
The first thing the little slug asked was a question.
Did Naruto sign a summoning contract?
The Sage of Six Paths has awakened.
The old toad sensed it immediately.
The other two holy lands also sensed it.
I have a feeling something big is about to happen.
Naturally, a response must be taken.
Furthermore, Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest are not oblivious to what's happening around them.
[All right. ]
[Shikkotsu Forest is not actually needed.]
[but. ]
We cannot allow other holy lands to seize our gains right in front of her, given her overwhelming advantage.
[Back then, the old toad tricked the Six Paths Immortal.]
Despite the passage of many years, the Sage of Six Paths seems to have come to believe it.
But what if?
[What if the Sage of Six Paths suddenly sensed something was wrong?]
[Then, it will definitely implicate them, who are also from sacred sites.]
[...]
[at the same time. ]
[Inside the underground base of Kannabi Bridge.]
[Uchiha Obito, whose entire body was covered in IV tubes, suddenly opened his eyes.]
[...]
On the other side.
[The Land of Water.]
Uchiha Izumi blinked.
[Looking at the big fox cuddling beside him.]
"The big fox."
"Are we going back like this?"
"There are still so many things to take care of!"
"Don't worry."
"Zabuza and Haku can handle it."
"There aren't many things going on in the Land of Water."
"Don't overwork yourself."
"You've exhausted yourself, and you still expect to be the first to recover?"
[Uchiha Izumi: "...."]
The big fox glanced at Quan's rosy cheeks.
He shook his head.
Although she wasn't the first.
But they were also the first to be able to stay at Naruto's house, and even shared a bed with him.
The result, however, was so disappointing.
It seems this fox needs to give them a proper lesson.
[Idiot Naruto.]
[Thanks to this fox!]
Then, the large fox seemed to realize something.
She pouted her rosy lips.
"Hmph!"
"You're lucky you ran fast, otherwise you would have shared my wrath with Uchiha Madara!"
"What?" Uchiha Izumi leaned closer.
The big fox shrugged.
"It's nothing."
"Don't worry about it."
"By the way, did you remember the mission for this time?"
[Uchiha Izumi pouted.]
He nodded somewhat reluctantly.
[she does not mind. ]
But, it takes getting people to do it.
Something still feels off.
It's like creating an enemy for yourself.
However, looking at the fox's stunningly beautiful profile, which also carried a hint of alluring languor,...
[Uchiha Izumi's lips curled slightly.]
[never mind. ]
[Naruto would be happy if that were the case.]
She can be just like the big fox.
[The big fox didn't say anything, so why are you thinking about all that nonsense?]
The large fox glanced at Uchiha Izumi, who suddenly started laughing foolishly.
[She sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.]
[Silly girl.]
Of course, this fox isn't afraid.
If you continue like this, then in the future...
[All right. ]
[This fox is even more worried that the evil blond guy won't be able to handle everything.]
[Hmph!]
[He took out a roster from his pocket.]
"Naruto said he wanted to see what the Ten-Tails was like."
"This fox does not recommend this."
"But... well, who can blame me when I'm so powerful? I can cover for him in any situation."
"So what if it's the Ten-Tails? We can just bring it out."
"Hmm...it doesn't need to be completely complete."
The great fox murmured, then suddenly fell silent.
If the Ten-Tails were to revive.
The old man probably won't keep pretending to be dead.
[never mind. ]
Why worry about so much?
"Big fox, do you know something?" Uchiha Izumi suddenly asked.
The big fox rolled its eyes at her.
"You know quite a lot."
"What aspect do you want to know?"
"Hmm... You should find out about Naruto yourself."
[Soon, the big fox saw Uchiha Izumi's flushed face and immediately understood what she wanted to ask, so he turned his head away.]
["alright."]
"Don't think about anything strange right now."
"We're almost there in the Land of Lightning."
"It's still a bit slow."
"I hope those female ninjas whose names are on the list are still around."
"Isobu!"
"It's just pulling a boat!"
"Didn't I give you a lot of chakra to restore?!"
"Hurry up!"
[Isobu: "..."]
[A ship that's just as large as a tailed beast's body, and you're saying you're only towing a ship?!]
That wretched Nine-Tailed Demon!
But soon, Isogai fell silent again.
[Well, what can you do when you have a Jinchūriki who dotes on you so much?]
[This chakra...Isobu thought the Sage of Six Paths had been resurrected!]
The giant fox stood on the deck, gazing at the Land of Lightning, whose outline was now clearly visible.
"Let's start with the main objective."
"After all, the Ten-Tails can't do without that guy Matatabi."
"Yugito Nii?"
"He just happens to be on the list too."
"Catch them first, then we'll talk."
