"...Hmm, you go ahead, Jiraiya."
Bunta heard quite a lot; he knows Jiraiya is not in a good mood right now, so he doesn't stop him. As for going to the Great Toad Sage, he won't go.
When Fukasaku brought Jiraiya to the Great Toad Sage, the Great Toad Sage was still asleep.
But since it's an important matter, Fukasaku didn't use his usual gentle voice, he went directly beside the Great Toad Sage and shouted loudly: "Old Man, wake up!"
This shout really woke up the Great Toad Sage. Upon seeing the two people in front of him, he said: "Fukasaku, Little Jiraiya, do you have something to ask?"
"This time he's not muddled...." Fukasaku murmured in surprise, then jumped to Jiraiya's side and continued: "Old Man, Jiraiya has something to ask you."
Jiraiya asked, "Old Man, did the Six Paths Sage possessing my body originate from Mount Myoboku?"
"...That's right, the pill you took at the time was left by Yin Yang Masters a thousand years ago and could enable the consumer to communicate with Yin Yang; but Jiraiya, you don't know Yin-Yang Art, so you can only passively let communications from the Pure Land come through..."
The Great Toad Sage slowly explained, and Jiraiya quickly understood what was going on.
Although he doesn't understand what Yin-Yang Art and Yin Yang Masters are, the secret medicine allowing the Six Paths Sage to gradually borrow his body was confirmed by the Great Toad Sage.
"Why do this, and even attack Konoha's Hokage? Now I have..."
Jiraiya said loudly, but after speaking, he realized that he felt no anger, only sadness and sorrow.
"Sorry, Little Jiraiya, but I discussed it with Hagoromo; we must stop the resurrection of Otsutsuki Kaguya..."
After speaking, the Great Toad Sage took a crystal ball, placed it in front of Jiraiya, and continued: "You've traveled the Ninja World for a long time, but you probably haven't gone beyond the Five Great Countries...."
Jiraiya leaned closer to the crystal ball and saw that the scene was entirely desert or devastated craters, with countless deep pits and utterly lifeless abyssal barrens.
"What is this...."
"This is the place beyond the Five Great Countries and other small countries, the battlefield where Kaguya and her two sons, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, fought a thousand years ago."
The Great Toad Sage explained to Jiraiya: "A thousand years ago, to seal Otsutsuki Kaguya, the two brothers Hagoromo and Hamura fought their mother for over a month, nearly destroying half the Ninja World. Even a hundred kilometers outside Mount Myoboku's barrier gradually turned into desert...."
Afterward, Jiraiya heard about the events from a thousand years ago, where Otsutsuki Kaguya plundered the planet's energy, seized local power heritage, and turned others into White Zetsu weapons. Eventually, she fought the two brothers and was sealed....
After hearing this series of events, Jiraiya felt nothing but shock.
When he regained consciousness after meeting Otsutsuki Kaguya, she was completely an icy goddess; Jiraiya could never imagine that Otsutsuki Kaguya would do such a thing a thousand years ago.
"The battle from a thousand years ago almost destroyed the entire Ninja World. The survivors migrated to the current Five Great Countries areas, slowly proliferated, creating the current scene.... So Hagoromo and I decided, regardless of the cost, to prevent Kaguya's resurrection because she would destroy the Ninja World...."
"But Otsutsuki Kaguya is very strong. After consuming the Divine Tree Fruit, she gained an undying body, so she can only be sealed."
After hearing the Great Toad Sage's words, Jiraiya internally agreed with it a lot more. If that's the case, then Otsutsuki Kaguya really should be sealed.
"But even if Kaguya should be sealed, why did the Six Paths Sage target our village's Hokage?"
Jiraiya remained puzzled about this, because of this he had become a traitorous ninja.
"From what he did or from the prophecy, he would be the person who ruins the Ninja World... That person destroyed the hope of sealing Kaguya, the chakra reincarnations of Indra and Asura..."
The Great Toad Sage said more information learned from Hagoromo, which he passed on to Jiraiya.
From Otsutsuki Hagoromo's standpoint, no matter how you look at it, Uchiha Yoichi should be sealed; and then Otsutsuki Kaguya should be sealed. This way, the Ninja World would return to normal, even if some are resurrected, that's irrelevant as they'll return to the Pure Land in a hundred years.
In Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Gamamaru's eyes, it indeed had to be done this way.
However, Otsutsuki Hagoromo failed, just a little away from success.
After hearing the entire process from the Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya's heart was deeply impacted.
The hall fell silent, Jiraiya hung his head, continuously pondering in his heart..... Eventually, he was slowly convinced by the Great Toad Sage's explanation.
In his view, Otsutsuki Kaguya indeed should be sealed, though not necessarily Uchiha Yoichi, but his actions with Otsutsuki Kaguya were wrong.
"Boss Fukasaku, Old Man, the Six Paths Sage failed...."
"Hmm, I know about this, I've already communicated with Hagoromo in the Pure Land during my sleep..."
The Great Toad Sage slowly said: "What a troublesome matter...."
"No, what I mean is Mount Myoboku might be in danger; Konoha Village has already decided to act against Mount Myoboku. From what I know about Uchiha Yoichi, if he says something like that, he will certainly follow through!"
Jiraiya advised: "Old Man, Boss Fukasaku, you should leave, escape from Mount Myoboku...."
"Don't worry, Little Jiraiya, Mount Myoboku isn't easy to find." Fukasaku jumped onto Jiraiya's shoulder, comforting him: "Mount Myoboku's location, not even you as a contractor know, you can only come with Reverse Summoning Jutsu, and outside there's a barrier blocking perception. They can't find it...."
"With that...."
Jiraiya's heart just relaxed, but suddenly realized something.
How did he escape so smoothly? What did Orochimaru's look before leaving mean? Also, why would he say he would die?
After clearing the doubts in his mind, Jiraiya's intelligence returned quickly, he reflected on many unusual places and sensed something off.
His escape was too smooth, even with Orochimaru's help it shouldn't be possible, not to mention Orochimaru only helped him break the seal.
"Boss Fukasaku, check if there's a special mark on me!"
Jiraiya quickly thought of Uchiha Yoichi's Flying Thunder God Jutsu. Since he became Hokage Assistant, he soon demonstrated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and used it proficiently.
When Jiraiya removed much of his clothing, Fukasaku saw three special Tamoe on his back and said: "Jiraiya, you have three Tamoe marks on your back, I'll condensate a Water Mirror for you to see."
After that, a Water Mirror appeared behind Jiraiya; he turned his head and immediately saw the Flying Thunder God Mark.
"Damn, it's the Flying Thunder God Mark, I was purposely released, Mount Myoboku might have already been discovered."
Jiraiya immediately felt terrible, quickly said to Fukasaku and the Great Toad Sage: "Boss Fukasaku, Old Man, quickly take the other toads away, Mount Myoboku might have already been exposed, hurry up!"
"...This is indeed a troublesome matter now."
The Great Toad Sage said slowly upon hearing this, while Fukasaku was surprised and didn't know what to say.
Escape?
Not able to escape at all!
Mount Myoboku is already the only Pure Land in this area; it also has the Toad Oil Pool, one of the few places in the Ninja World rich in Natural Energy, and these toads need the Toad Oil Pool to grow.
Without the Toad Oil Pool, Mount Myoboku would slowly decline within ten years; and many toads can't leave, like Iwayado Giant Toad, which simply cannot move.
