Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

In a quiet valley that no one knows about.

The trees in the mountain basins are lush and vibrant, and the sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows, as if it were a paradise.

Around this peaceful place, there stand several tall stone statues of toads, guarding this place like guardians.

There is a crystal clear lake in the center of the valley. The ripples on the lake reflect the beautiful scenery around it.

By the lake, you can see some small toads playing and frolicking, and occasionally you can see a few huge toads basking in the sun leisurely.

This is Mount Myōboku, one of the three sacred places.

"Boss Fukasaku, why are you so anxious to summon me here? What's the matter? I'm very busy recently and I don't have time to accompany you."

The middle-aged man who spoke was tall, wearing a red outer coat, brown clothes underneath, wooden clogs, and ninja protective gear on both hands.

The most eye-catching thing is that he wore a forehead protector with the word "oil" written on it, had long white hair reaching his waist, and had two red marks under his eyes.

He is none other than Jiraiya, one of the three most famous ninjas in the ninja world.

On Jiraiya's shoulder sat a small green toad with white beard and eyebrows. He was one of the high-ranking officials of Myoboku Mountain and an elder-level subordinate of the Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku Sage.

"Jiraiya-chan, of course I have something important to tell you, otherwise I wouldn't use the reverse summoning technique."

Fukasaku gently stroked his sparse beard and said slowly, "It was the order from the master himself, asking to see you. It seems there is some new prophecy."

"Is it the Immortal who is looking for me?"

When Jiraiya heard this, his expression immediately became serious.

The Great Toad Sage is the strongest sage in Myoboku Mountain. He has the ability to predict the future and his strength is unfathomable. He is one of the few people who can make Jiraiya feel awe.

A prophecy that could alarm the Great Toad Sage must be a major event that could impact the ninja world.

He has traveled around the ninja world over the years in search of the "Son of Prophecy" mentioned by the Great Toad Sage.

"Could it be related to Nagato?"

Jiraiya was also certain that he had found the child of prophecy.

Ten years ago, when Nagato was less than ten years old, he awakened the same eyes as the Sage of Six Paths.

With such amazing talent, Nagato is definitely the child of prophecy.

So Jiraiya accepted Nagato as his disciple without hesitation and taught him for three years.

Did something happen to Nagato?

With doubts, Jiraiya walked into the hall where the giant toad sage was enshrined.

On the huge cushion in the middle of the hall, there was a huge orange toad sitting cross-legged. Around its neck was a string of cat's eyes with a lavender cat's eye in the middle and the word "Oil" written on it.

Fukasaku Sage jumped off Jiraiya's shoulders and hopped over to the Great Toad Sage.

"Master, little Jiraiya is here too."

"Ah, it's little Jiraiya, it's been a while, what brings you to Myoboku Mountain?"

"Master, have you forgotten? It was you who wanted to find little Jiraiya."

"Oh, yes, about the new prophecy. Go find little Jiraiya. I have something to say to him."

"Little Jiraiya is already here, right in front of you."

"What? So fast? Oh... I remember."

The Great Toad Sage finally turned his gaze towards Jiraiya.

Jiraiya scratched his head helplessly. The Great Toad Sage's dementia was getting worse.

"Here I am, Great Immortal. Are you looking for me for the Child of Prophecy?"

"No, it's a new prophecy."

"New prophecy?"

"Yes, it's about the rebirth and destruction of the ninja world."

"so serious?"

Jiraiya's expression instantly became serious.

The big toad immortal narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling something. His expression remained still for a long time, and then his eyes slowly closed.

The hall suddenly became silent.

The Immortal Fukasaku glanced at the Great Toad Immortal and shouted, "Master, are you asleep again?"

"Oh, I remember."

The Great Toad Sage opened his eyes, and the deep wrinkles on his face relaxed slightly. He slowly said, "Yesterday, I foresaw the future in my dream. In the future scene, I saw a young man who summoned a flying sword. His eyes were special Sharingan that I had never seen before."

"Sharingan? Someone from the Uchiha clan?"

Jiraiya sat cross-legged beside him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked in confusion: "There are many people in the Uchiha clan who use swords. Are there any other characteristics?"

"I heard him say something."

After a brief silence, the old voice of the Great Toad Immortal slowly came out.

"The Way of Wuji continues in my heart."

"Ah? The Way of the Infinite...what is this?"

Jiraiya was confused and frowned as he looked at the Great Toad Sage.

Just then, a small green toad with purple hair and purple lips came hopping in.

She is the wife of Fukasaku Sennin, Shima Sennin.

"Jiraiya-chan, it's been a while since we last met. I've never heard of the Way of the Infinite."

After greeting Jiraiya, Shima Sage looked at the big toad Sage in the middle and muttered in a muffled voice, "Master, are you getting senile again?"

When Fukasaku heard this, he scolded, "Mother of a child, what nonsense are you talking about! The master just has a bad memory, but what he can remember is definitely not wrong."

The Great Toad Sage sat up straight from his half-lying body, and then said to Jiraiya: "In the future I foresee, that young man will bring about a revolution that will affect the ninja world."

Hearing this, Jiraiya quickly asked, "Changes that affect the ninja world? Are they good changes or bad changes?"

The Great Toad Sage replied: "I don't know either, but everyone in the world will be affected. Death and war will spread throughout the ninja world. Many people will die because of it, and the ninja world will be reformed accordingly."

"So serious?!"

Jiraiya's expression became more serious than ever before.

Fukasaku and Shima were also startled.

What on earth did the person in this prophecy do to actually change the entire ninja world?

Jiraiya thought seriously for a long time and asked, "Great Sage, could this person be the same person as the previous child of prophecy?"

“It’s not the same person.”

The Great Toad Sage shook his head and continued, "According to my intuition, this young man is in Konoha. He seems to have had contact with the contractor of Myoboku Mountain, so I can sense his location."

"The contractor of Myobokusan? Could it be Minato?"

Jiraiya's heart moved slightly, and he lowered his head and pondered.

The Uchiha clan uses flying swords?

Could it be the young man who has become very famous recently?

Although he had not returned to Konoha in the past few years, Jiraiya still paid attention to the news of Konoha on the battlefield.

Even he, who had been traveling in the mountains and fields of small countries, had heard of the name of Silver Flash Uchiha Yi.

Jiraiya stood up and said, "Great Sage, I may know who the young man you dreamed of is."

The Great Toad Sage raised his hand, a warm smile appeared on his old face, "Little Jiraiya, go and bring that young man to see me, please."

"I understand, Great Immortal, I will go find him immediately."

Jiraiya nodded and was about to say goodbye to the Great Toad Sage when he heard a snoring sound coming from the seat in front of him.

The big toad immortal closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"If you ask me, the master must be confused again."

Shijian Sennin curled his lips and looked unconcerned.

"Haha, I still believe in the prediction of the great immortal."

Jiraiya grinned and laughed.

After saying goodbye to Sennin Fukasaku and Sennin Shima, he immediately set out on the road back to Konoha.
