70Toad, times have changed!AI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 70 Toad, times have changed!
"What's going on? Why can't I see the future anymore?"
The Great Toad Sage was bewildered.
Just now, his proud ability had vanished.
It disappeared suddenly.
One moment, fragments were still appearing in his mind, and the next, there were none.
"Has something happened?"
The Great Toad Sage wondered.
"Great Toad Sage!"
As he pondered, Fukasaku and Shima entered with Jiraiya, and seeing the awakened Great Toad Sage, they were taken aback.
Why had the Great Toad Sage woken up so early this time?
"Little Jiraiya, why are you here?"
Seeing Jiraiya's solemn expression, the Great Toad Sage was startled, and a thought stirred within him.
Could it be that Jiraiya had concrete information?
"Great Toad Sage, I seem to have found the Child of Prophecy you spoke of."
"Who?"
"Uzumaki Naruto."
"It's him?"
Fukasaku and Shima exchanged glances: "How could it be him?"
Although they were in Mount Myōboku, their intelligence wasn't lacking.
They knew all the well-known information in the Ninja World.
Naturally, they wouldn't overlook Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
However, Uzumaki Naruto didn't seem to have anything special about him.
Jiraiya sighed and roughly recounted what had happened earlier.
But subtly, Jiraiya felt he couldn't reveal Naruto's true identity, so he glossed over it.
He only gave a general overview.
Yet, even so, it was enough to shock the Great Toad Sage immensely.
"How could this be?"
"Did I really make a mistake?"
The Great Toad Sage recalled the sea of corpses and blood that flashed past with that kunai last time.
Why would the Child of Prophecy be surrounded by such people?
It shouldn't be like this.
The Great Toad Sage was confused.
Is this what the Child of Prophecy is like?
With such a sea of corpses and blood, it doesn't look like the Child of Prophecy at all.
Having lived for thousands of years, he had seen everything.
The moment Jiraiya spoke, sweat dripped from the Great Toad Sage's forehead.
If things went wrong, Mount Myōboku would be finished.
However, there was an even more profound saying.
If you don't offer help in a blizzard, you don't deserve to add flowers to brocade.
It seemed there was no other way now.
Fukasaku and Shima looked at each other, finding it hard to accept as well.
Jiraiya stood silently to the side.
Everything that needed to be said was said; how to proceed was Mount Myōboku's concern.
"Jiraiya, take Fukasaku and Shima to discuss."
After a long pause.
The Great Toad Sage slowly said: "If we can alleviate it, that's good. If not, we'll have to find another way ourselves."
Although he felt it wasn't good,
The Great Toad Sage still had confidence.
Mount Myōboku was hidden; they wouldn't easily find this place.
And even if they came, what then?
Their Mount Myōboku, having been passed down for so long, wasn't to be trifled with.
Presumably, the Fourth Hokage and the Child of Prophecy, Uzumaki Naruto, wouldn't be so short-sighted as to make enemies everywhere.
"Alright!"
"I'll go now. I'll use the Summoning Technique to summon Fukasaku and Shima later."
The Great Toad Sage nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
He didn't mention that his ability had failed just recently; speaking of it would cause panic.
At this moment, his heart was not at peace.
Why couldn't he see the future? Could it be…
A terrifying thought surfaced in his mind, and the Great Toad Sage's heart seized, almost ascending on the spot, dying then and there.
"If that's the case, then we must find every possible way to resolve this matter."
Recovering from his heart seizure, the Great Toad Sage reluctantly pulled out a talisman from beside him.
"Immortal Talisman, it should be able to play a certain role."
This talisman was a good thing; it could revive and heal mortal injuries.
This was their trump card for Mount Myōboku.
"Sigh!"
…
"It takes ten years to grow trees, but a hundred years to cultivate people!"
Kakashi's mouth twitched as he looked at the schedule in his hand.
Looking at Naruto, who was posing as his teacher, Kakashi felt a helpless urge to complain internally.
Even now, he was still somewhat in a daze.
Minato Namikaze was actually Naruto in disguise, and most importantly, there was no sense of incongruity.
And the duration of this Transformation Techniquecould last for so long.
Kakashi's heart was very restless.
He had considered many possibilities, but he never thought of this.
"As expected of my teacher's offspring, surpassing his master."
"That's great!"
Kakashi shook his head, suddenly recalling the feeling of being tricked at home last time.
Little fox!
He cursed silently in his mind, his gaze returning to the plan in his hand.
It was even a revised version.
There were several plans listed.
The first plan was a century-long project, with learning as the priority.
For this, Naruto even introduced compulsory education, which was amazing.
He wasn't afraid of having too many Ninja and them being difficult to manage; he directly established Ninja classes.
As long as their identity was transparent, children from Konoha Village could go to school once they reached a certain age.
If they didn't have talent, they could study other things.
After all, there were cultural classes.
This classification indeed made things much clearer and more transparent, but it was very expensive.
Seeing this, Naruto waved his hand and told them to ask the Daimyo for money.
"This Daimyo, really spineless."
Kakashi was very impressed.
Indeed, those who can bend and stretch, few who become Daimyo are fools.
Kakashi knew that if this plan truly continued, how terrifying Konoha Village would be in the future.
Konoha Village itself was a Ninja Village; most could go to school.
However, schooling used to require payment, and now this was being implemented.
Tsk~
Shaking his head, Kakashi continued to look at the second plan.
If the first plan was for the future, then this plan was for the present.
Ninja Welfare.
That's right,
This was the Ninja welfare system formulated by Naruto.
The welfare included, first and foremost, the miraculous vegetables; only a few people could see these words.
Kakashi had just enjoyed them and could only say they were terrifying.
With this, interests were bound together.
Secondly, the most important welfare, and one available to everyone: advanced versions of the Three Body Technique and other Ninjutsu, personally developed by the Fourth Hokage, could be taught.
What kind of concept was this?
Once this welfare was introduced, all Ninja would go crazy.
The Three Body Technique that had been passed down to the present had already been refined through countless trials.
Now, to be further developed by the Fourth Hokage, how incredibly powerful was that?
If they learned it, it would play a crucial role on the battlefield and in missions.
This was a life-saving technique.
Kakashi could already foresee how frantically Konoha Village's Ninja would undertake missions.
"Terrifying!"
Kakashi was silent, quietly placing the list in his Ninja tool pouch.
There was also a series of plans and benefits that followed.
But compared to the first two, they were insignificant.
"If there had been such welfare before, how strong would Konoha Village be now?"
Kakashi suddenly thought of the Fire Willmentioned by the Sandaime.
Then he thought about the plan Naruto was formulating now.
One could only say that one was a castle in the air, bound by love.
The other was tangible benefits combined with a series of slogans, bringing people's sense of belonging to the Village to its peak.
The difference was immediately apparent.
Naruto stood by the window, watching the crowd below Kakashi, a smile on his face:
"All of you, get to work, Ninja, hehehe!"
"The rain I've experienced, you all must enjoy it too…"
