Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 81 Confusion and Mist (Fourth update! Please give me a monthly ticket!)

"Myoboku Mountain".

Naruto never got to know this place.

He was only interested in the "art of psychic communication" itself. As for those toads, to be honest, they were not good-looking enough and their strength was relatively average.

It has no effect in your own battle.

As for the "Sage Mode" related to Myoboku Mountain, he does have some interest in it.

However, the importance of learning it is lower than what I am doing, so I have never learned it.

But now...are we going to deal with these guys?
He picked up his pen to write a letter and asked Jiraiya to come.

Three days later, in a snack shop in a small town on the border of the Fire Nation.

"It's been a year since we last met. Naruto, you've grown taller." Jiraiya lowered his head, looked at the blond boy in front of him, and sighed.

He paused and praised, "This dress looks great, too."

Much better aesthetic than Minato's.

It seems that I inherited my mother's good genes in this regard.

"Sensei Jiraiya hasn't changed much." Naruto raised his hand and beckoned him to sit down.

Jiraiya scratched his head and laughed, "At my age, how can I change?"

"I just hope that before I die, I can do more useful things and make up for the regrets I have had in the past."

He took the tea handed to him by Karin, restrained his smile, and said seriously: "You said in the letter that you wanted to go to Myoboku Mountain. Do you want to prepare to start practicing Sage Mode?"

"I think it might be better if you postpone your studies for a few years."

It’s not that Naruto doesn’t need to practice.

The problem is "age".

In Sage Mode, the first thing to do is to balance one's own spiritual energy and physical energy. On this basis, mix them skillfully with natural energy to achieve a balance between the three, and then the practice is considered successful.

Naruto is still young, and although he is already very strong, his chakra, physical, and even spiritual energy will still grow.

The "balance" achieved this year may be "destroyed" by the growth in the coming year, and the results of your practice will be wasted.

It would be more appropriate to try to learn when your physical development is stable, when you are sixteen or seventeen years old.

"It's not for Sage Mode." Naruto shook his head and smiled slightly, "I want to ask the Great Toad Sage something."

Jiraiya was stunned.

Looking for the big toad immortal?

"Do you want it to predict for you?" Jiraiya was not puzzled as to why Naruto knew about the "Big Toad Sage". In the circle of summoning beasts, the three holy places were sacred and supreme existences, and the rumors about them were no secret, but because one's strength did not reach a certain level, there was no way to understand them.

Naruto shook his head again: "I heard that the Great Toad Sage has lived for thousands of years, and I want to ask it some questions about history, gods, and the Pure Land."

The legend of the Six Paths Sage seems to have happened more than a thousand years ago.

This answer did not surprise Jiraiya.

He had heard that Naruto had been searching for the "God" for a year.

Others don't understand what he wants to do, but he himself knows it very well.

"Then I'll take you there." Jiraiya nodded and agreed immediately. After communicating with the toad of Myoboku Mountain, he continued to say to Naruto, "Don't resist later. This is a normal technique."

"Myoboku Mountain is too far away from here. It would be more convenient to use summoning techniques."

After he finished speaking.

Naruto immediately caught a glimpse of chakra fluctuations emerging from under him. He reached out in time to grab Karin and released his own chakra to wrap her up.

"The art of reverse spiritualism."

The formation unfolded and took him and Xianglin away.

Jiraiya was a step late and was also teleported away.

A flash of white smoke.

The scenery changes in your field of vision.

High mountains rise from the ground, waterfalls tumble down, in the distance are tall single-leaved broadwoods, some huge toads are resting and playing here, and in the cover of these broadwoods, you can vaguely see several huge houses that look like the curved bodies of worms.

It makes people feel as if they have been shrunk.

"How about it? It's shocking, right?" Jiraiya said with a smile, his tone somewhat proud, "This is Mount Myōboku, one of the three holy places."

Naruto nodded and looked to the side.

There are two auras approaching over there.

The chakra is a little weak, but the body contains powerful natural energy.

They are two frogs wearing cloaks.

"Jiraiya, is this the little brat you were talking about?" The frog with three tufts of white hair on its head and green skin greeted.

"Why is there a little red-haired girl?" The purple-skinned frog next to her looked at Karin.

Naruto replied, "I brought it here because I was worried about her being out there alone."

Jiraiya acted as a middleman to introduce them to each other.

The male toad is named "Fukasaku" and the female toad is named "Shima". They are the elders of Myōboku Mountain and are both known as "immortals".

"Grandpa has agreed to meet you." Fukasaku waved his hand gently and led the way, "Follow me."

They climbed the steps, walked into the temple behind them, and entered a large room.

At the end of the room, there is a throne with the word "Xian" written on it.

A large orange toad sat on it.

It wears a square hat and a bead necklace with the word "oil" on it around its neck, giving it an "extremely old" temperament.

"Who is coming?" Feeling the breath approaching, it spoke tremblingly, like an old man in his twilight years, unconscious.

"It's me, Jiraiya." Jiraiya responded in unison, "And Uzumaki Naruto, Minato's child."

"This time he wants to ask you something."

The Great Toad Sage nodded and turned his head. When he saw Naruto, his eyes suddenly opened a little, as if he had noticed something, revealing his yellow eyeballs: "Uzumaki Naruto?" "What an interesting child."

"What do you want to know?"

Naruto looked up at it and amplified his voice, "I want to know what's going on with natural energy and chakra."

"I also want to know about the gods, preferably the gods of death."

"I also want to know information about the Pure Land."

The Great Toad Immortal tilted his head lazily: "You really have a lot of questions."

"Let me think about how to answer this for you."

It was thinking, silent, motionless, and silent, and looked like it was asleep.

Naruto waited patiently.

Karin wasn't so patient and grabbed Naruto's sleeve.

Until the three Toad Immortals were almost getting impatient.

The Great Toad Immortal then continued, "This happened a long time ago. At that time I was just a little toad."

"In this world, there is no such energy as 'Chakra'."

"There is only the natural energy called 'Xianli'."

"The gods are creatures that possess magical powers and are worshipped by humans. They once controlled many natural powers."

"But suddenly one day, a sacred tree fell from the sky, and then the woman came here."

"She fell in love with the king of the time and gave birth to the Sage of Six Paths."

Naruto listened carefully.

This was also the first time Jiraiya heard these things, and his expression was serious.

"But that woman's ambition seems to be more than just becoming the queen. She wants to gain the power of the sacred tree, so she turns the king and his people into sacrifices to the sacred tree."

"The Sage of Six Paths could not bear to see humans suffer, so he mastered the power of chakra, defeated his mother, sealed her on the moon, and sent the sacred tree away from this world, saving people."

"After that, in order to repair the barren earth, the Six Paths Sage traveled around the world and sealed those gods, including the God of Death. After that, he founded the Ninja Clan."

“Those are the first two things you want to know.”

Having said this, the Great Toad Immortal paused.

Naruto frowned.

Karin skillfully took out the scroll and wrote down what she had just heard.

They knew the legend that the Six Paths Sage founded the "Ninja Sect", but they didn't expect that there was such a story before that.

Therefore, the records of the Uzumaki clan are not wrong.

The God of Death is indeed an even older being than the Sage of Six Paths.

No wonder they could only hear legends about gods along the way but could not encounter any gods. It turned out that they were all sealed by the Six Paths Sage.

Is this also true of the "God of Death"?

The Great Toad Immortal continued, "As for the third thing you want to know, the thing called the Pure Land."

“I don’t know anything about that.”

"The only thing that is certain is that when I was young, I had heard of the existence of the God of Death and the King of Hell, but there was no rumor of the Pure Land."

Naruto pondered over this statement.

So, this Pure Land was created by the Six Paths Sage?

Did the power that he had sensed in the dead before, the power that tugged at their souls, come from the Sage of Six Paths?
The doubts in my mind were slightly resolved.

Naruto thanked the Great Toad Sage: "Thank you very much for answering these questions for me."

The big toad sage shook his head and stared at Naruto in silence.

Naruto and Karin retreated. They had no intention of visiting Mount Myōboku at the moment, and were summoned away by two toads.

Jiraiya hasn't left yet.

"Great Toad Sage, is Naruto the child of prophecy?" he asked.

The Great Toad Sage shook his head: "Little Jiraiya, you need to find the answer."

Jiraiya stopped talking.

"But I saw something different in this young man." The Great Toad Immortal continued.

Jiraiya looked up.

"It's fog and confusion." It spoke, uttering two words carefully.

Mist?

Confusion?

Jiraiya stared blankly, puzzled. This can be used to describe people, but it is not quite appropriate to use it on Naruto.

He is not confused, his heart is firm, and his thoughts are not confused.

The big toad immortal didn't say anything.

It also has some minor doubts.

In its eyes, this blond kid should still be a Konoha ninja at this moment and should not have such strong strength.

He would join Jiraiya on his journey.

Soon after, Jiraiya was injured by him with a red and chaotic force.
But this was not the case, Uzumaki Naruto left Konoha alone.

"Confusion" refers to the confusion of prophecy.

In addition, there are some experiences in this little ghost that it cannot see through, which is the "fog".

Just like the woman who suddenly appeared with the sacred tree.

(No more today, I will prepare for tomorrow and try to come back with better quality!)
