Naruto: Are you worthy of being called Sage Mode?

The hero Jiraiya, one of the disciples of the Third Generation.

His work "Intimate Heaven" became popular throughout the Ninja world. At the same time, he shouldered the mission of finding the "Son of Prophecy" and wandered throughout the Ninja world.

In fact, before that, the former Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted Jiraiya to inherit the position of Hokage more than once, but he always rejected it.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that Orochimaru is the best choice.

Jiraiya has the reputation of being a hero, but he is too indecisive and unable to settle down, so he is not a suitable candidate to be Hokage.

Jiraiya, who was gathering winds, suddenly felt a distorted space fluctuation. This was the art of reverse channeling!

This made Jiraiya's heart tighten. Could it be that something happened to Konoha and did Miaomu Mountain need to summon him?

Obeying the call of necromancers, Jiraiya appeared at Mt. Myoboku.

"Jiraiya-sama, the Great Toad Sage is looking for you."

This time Jiraiya appeared directly outside the temple where the big toad sage was. A little toad said to Jiraiya and slowly opened the door of the temple, waiting for Jiraiya to enter.

Taking a deep breath, Jiraiya walked to the temple.

This time the Great Toad Immortal did not take a nap, but sat upright in his seat.

The moment Jiraiya came in, the Great Toad Sage looked at him instantly.

"Jiraiya! Has anything big happened in the ninja world recently?"

Even as the top tool of Mt. Myoboku, it was not easy for Jiraiya to meet the Great Toad Sage.

This was the first time Jiraiya had seen the Great Toad Sage look so nervous.

Jiraiya's current strength is absolutely inseparable from the help of Mount Miaomu.

However, the Miaomu Mountain will succeed and the Miaomu Mountain will fail.

Jiraiya spent his entire life chasing the so-called "prophecy" of the Great Toad Sage.

Search for the so-called "son of prophecy" and bring this person who can bring changes to the ninja world onto the right path.

For this so-called prophecy, Jiraiya paid too much.

"No, in the recent ninja world, although there has been constant friction between ninja villages, nothing major has happened."

Jiraiya shook his head. He had been active on the front line of the ninja world. The recent ninja world was indeed as he said, and nothing major happened.

"..."

The Great Toad Sage looked at Jiraiya. At this time, his heart was very complex. He had lived for more than 1000 years, and his strength was no less than that of the Sage of Six Paths. The natural energy accumulated in his body was unfathomable.

But even so, it is still so insignificant in the face of fate. But after getting used to the established fate, now the future has become unpredictable, and it begins to feel panic in its heart.

"The past has become shrouded in mist, and the future is no longer known."

"Jiraiya, although it is a bit irresponsible to say this, from today on, you no longer have to look for the Son of Prophecy."

Jiraiya opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He has been pursuing for half his life, from Uzumaki Nagato to Namikaze Minato, who he considered to be the prophesied son who could change the ninja world, but both apprentices met with accidents.

He had doubted more than once whether the Big Toad Immortal's prediction was correct, but he convinced himself every time. Now he was suddenly told not to look for the son of the prophecy anymore. How could he accept this?

"Big Toad Immortal, what on earth does this mean?"

Fukasaku Sennin and Shima Sennin on the side looked at Jiraiya with some unbearable feelings.

The Great Toad Sage is aloof and usually wanders in his dreams. The two of them watched Jiraiya grow up and step by step until he is today.

It is not an easy thing to accept that you are not the person chosen by fate, but can only be the leader of the destined child.

Now suddenly tell Jiraiya that all your persistence and pursuit in the past are meaningless. Is there anything more cruel than this?

"From today on, I can no longer predict the future. The future direction of the ninja world is no longer fixed, and the child of prophecy will no longer exist."

The meaning of the Great Toad Sage is very simple. The future of the ninja world is no longer an established reality, but an unknown filled with uncertainty.

Under such circumstances, even if the so-called "child of prophecy" is found, there is a high probability that this child of prophecy will not be able to bring change and peace to the ninja world as predicted.

"Then what should I do?"

Jiraiya was confused, a hero of the generation, one of the Sannin of Konoha, the author of the intimacy series, and the prodigal son of the game world. At this time, he briefly lost his life goal.

"Go and enjoy your life. You don't have to shoulder the mission of finding the son of prophecy anymore."

The Great Toad Sage looked at Jiraiya and shook his head.

"Mt. Miaomu will be closed recently, and I will be in seclusion for a period of time. You can also pay attention to whether anything has happened in the ninja world recently, and report back in time if you find anything."

"Life is only a few decades, so do more of what you want to do."

After saying that, the Great Toad Immortal closed his eyes.

Enjoy your own life and do what you want to do. Is this really what a ninja should do?

Jiraiya was actually willful enough, doing what he wanted to do and rejecting the village's arrangements, but now the belief in his heart suddenly disappeared, leaving him very confused.

Should I obey the teacher's arrangement and return to Konoha to become Hokage?

But when he thought of the darkness in Konoha, Jiraiya flinched a little. When he left Konoha, why didn't he want to stay away from the political disputes?

The establishment of Konoha obviously had the best intentions, but now it is full of intrigues.

Jiraiya watched Sarutobi Hiruzen step by step from a ninja hero to a ninja bear. He knew very well that power can change a person tremendously.

In addition to looking for the son of prophecy, a large part of the reason for rejecting Hiruzen Sarutobi's request to become Hokage many times was because Jiraiya was worried that he would become the next Hiruzen Sarutobi and be lost in power.

However, maybe the darkness of Konoha can be changed by him?

Will Tsunade's opinion of him change after becoming Hokage? And Orochimaru, who is still in Konoha, will he also obey his orders?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya had a slight desire for the position of Hokage.

After all, living in Konoha since childhood, it is normal to dream of becoming Hokage.

Unfortunately, even if Jiraiya wanted to become Hokage, it was already too late.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, the most suitable candidate was Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's character and scientific research ability are very critical to the future development of Konoha.

The times need to progress, and ninjas will eventually be eliminated. When Sarutobi Hiruzen succeeds in his training, he will definitely choose to attack the Otsutsuki clan. By then, ninjas who use chakra will have an inherent disadvantage when facing the Otsutsuki.
