"Great Master, that young man you prophesied about in your dream recently has arrived today. Do you have anything you want to say to him?" Fukasaku said.
"Oh......" The Great Toad Sage's eyes rolled, looking at Kaoru next to Fukasaku. His huge eyes were murky, yet seemed like a bottomless pool. He had a peaceful smile on his face, and spoke somewhat unclearly.
"So it's you, the young man from my dream yo......." The Great Toad Sage nodded lightly, then looked at the others: "Apart from this young man, everyone else should leave."
Hearing this, Fukasaku was a little puzzled. When the Great Toad Sage told Jiraiya about the prophecy before, he didn't ask anyone else to leave.
But even so, the Great Toad Sage's words couldn't be disobeyed. After nodding, Fukasaku led the others away. In the huge cave, only one person and one toad faced each other.
Kaoru frowned. The Great Toad Sage seemed to have something secret to tell him by doing this.
"Young man yo, what is your name?" The Great Toad Sage asked.
"Uchiha Kaoru." Kaoru replied.
"So, Uchiha Kaoru, you're not from this world, are you?" The Great Toad Sage suddenly said after staring at Kaoru for a while.
Hearing the Great Toad Sage say this, Kaoru's heart also shook. He wasn't from this world? This Toad Sage could even know that?!
"I dreamt that you came from another space, were born in Konoha Village, and powerful dojutsu dwell in your eyes. In the future, your strength will cause earth-shattering changes in the entire ninja world, making you the savior or destroyer of the ninja world, it's all up to you......." The Great Toad Sage continued, his eyes also filled with a rare serious expression.
"Savior or destroyer?" Kaoru fell into thought. Was this giving him a choice? A choice to be a villain or a hero?
"There's a balance of yin and yang in this world. There are good people, so there are naturally bad people. No matter what choice you make, I hope you can do me a favor." The Great Toad Sage said.
"Help, what kind of help?" Kaoru asked.
"If Mount Myōboku is ever in trouble in the future, I hope you can help us get out of our predicament." The Great Toad Sage continued.
"Mount Myōboku is in trouble? How is that possible......." Kaoru frowned. In the original story, Mount Myōboku was fine from beginning to end. After all, this place was the world of summoning beasts, and could be said to be one of the few safe places in the ninja world. How could it be in trouble?
"That's right, I hope you can agree. As a condition for the exchange, I'm willing to impart Mount Myōboku's ultimate skill: Sage Mode to you." The Great Toad Sage continued.
"Impart Sage Mode to me?" Kaoru was really surprised. Actually, the purpose of this trip to Mount Myōboku, apart from his "suicide" plan, was to unlock Sage Mode. But he didn't expect that he hadn't even brought it up yet, and the Great Toad Sage had taken the initiative to say it.
"I dreamt that you had already mastered Sage Art in the future, so I'm just going with the flow." The Great Toad Sage continued.
"Okay, no problem, I promise you." After thinking for a moment, Kaoru nodded and agreed to the Great Toad Sage's words. Sage Mode was something he definitely had to learn. As for protecting Mount Myōboku, since he was learning their skills, he should put in some effort, although he didn't know what kind of crisis Mount Myōboku would encounter.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Kaoru continued to listen to the Great Toad Sage's words.
After squinting for a while, the Great Toad Sage continued slowly: "There's also a very important matter...... That is, there are...... more than one person from another world."
Hearing this, Kaoru's heart was truly shaken!
"There's more than one person from another world? What does that mean? It means there are other transmigrators?" Kaoru was completely puzzled. If his guess was correct, then that would really be a big thing, whether it was a blessing or a curse!!!
Thinking of this, Kaoru quickly asked the Great Toad Sage: "Toad Sage, what do you mean by that? There's more than one person who came from another world besides me? Then who else is there? Do they have any characteristics?"
Hearing Kaoru's series of questions, the Toad Sage's eyes became hazy. After a moment, he tremblingly asked: "What? Did I just say something? I can't remember......."
"......." Kaoru had a black line on his face. This old toad had actually forgotten the matter in the blink of an eye, and it was even the most crucial matter.
"You said, besides me, there are other people from another world!" Kaoru reminded him.
"Is that so? I don't remember." The Great Toad Sage still shook his head blankly, not knowing if he had really forgotten or was pretending to be stupid.
"Damn it, this old toad....." Kaoru had no choice but to stop asking. He had said that there were other people from another world, but he wouldn't think about it so much. If there really were, the ninja world was only so big, they would meet sooner or later.
After having a secret conversation with Kaoru, the Great Toad Sage called Fukasaku and the others in again.
"Fukasaku, you must treat this distinguished guest who has come from afar well. Fulfill whatever requests he makes, even if it's learning Sage Mode, fulfill his request." The Great Toad Sage said to Fukasaku.
"Yes, Great Toad Sage." Although he didn't know why the Great Toad Sage valued Kaoru so much, the Great Toad Sage was the highest leader of Mount Myōboku, and his words couldn't be disobeyed.
Jiraiya also felt very strange. Kaoru's treatment this time was much better than when he first came. Why didn't he have such good luck......
"Alright, you can all leave." After giving his instructions, the Toad Sage directly fell asleep again.
After taking Kaoru's group out of the cave, Fukasaku said to Kaoru: "Although I don't know why the Great Toad Sage values you so much, I will definitely do as he says. I heard the Great Toad Sage say that you want to learn Sage Mode? Then come with me first."
"Master Fukasaku, hold on for a moment about learning Sage Mode. Can you find a secluded place for me on Mount Myōboku first? I want to take my sister for secret training." Kaoru replied.
"Of course, that's no problem either." Fukasaku nodded, then chose a path and walked over: "Come with me."
Under Fukasaku's guidance, the group came to a huge waterfall. The water flow of this waterfall wasn't as clear as usual, but was very turbid, appearing yellowish-brown, and was very viscous.
"What is this waterfall? It looks so disgusting....." Wan'er looked at the waterfall falling from the cliff and sighed.
"Don't talk nonsense, little girl. This waterfall is the Toad Oil Waterfall. Toad Oil is a unique treasure of Mount Myōboku, and can help humans sense natural energy, but it's not needed for you yet." Fukasaku paused and said.
"And the place I've arranged for you is behind this Toad Oil Waterfall."
"Behind the Toad Oil Waterfall?"
"That's right, behind it is a huge natural stone cave, and there's only one exit, which is the waterfall. If you need it, I can also arrange for toads to guard the entrance of the waterfall, to protect you and let you cultivate in peace." Fukasaku replied.
"That won't be necessary, I believe Mount Myōboku is definitely very safe." Kaoru laughed.
"Since that's the case, then Kaoru, you and your sister can cultivate here in peace. Naruto and I will go back first." Seeing that the matter had been settled, Jiraiya said.
"No, I want to cultivate here too. That Sage Mode that the Toad Sage talked about sounds very powerful, I definitely have to learn it!" Naruto shouted loudly. His voice was loud and excited.
"You learn my ass!" Jiraiya said unhappily, "Practice your Rasengan first, Sage Mode is not something you can master at this stage."
Even if Jiraiya wanted to teach Naruto Sage Mode, it was too early at this time. Naruto's physical conditions were far from meeting the requirements for Sage Mode.
