"Oh no, that expert is dead!"
A figure ran over, bringing back a message that left Jiraiya and Tsunade speechless.
"Dead?!"
Jiraiya's voice rose as he looked incredulously at the ANBU ninja who walked in through the door. No, they had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Uchiha Tsukuyomi's problem had been solved, and now you're telling me that the invincible master is dead?
Are you kidding me!
"What kind of expert? Explain yourself!"
Tsunade, on the other hand, was calmer. She asked calmly, "Perhaps the expert this guy is talking about is not the same as what they think?"
However, after hearing the explanation from the Anbu, Tsunade felt a wave of dizziness and almost couldn't catch her breath. She had truly lost!
This immortal, whom they had placed high hopes on and who seemed to be absolutely invincible, was defeated so quickly?
The feeling is like buying a lottery ticket, discovering you've won a hundred million, and rushing to claim the prize as soon as you're about to get the money.
But the other party suddenly noticed that one of the numbers was covered by something, gently wiped it, and oh dear, the number was wrong, you didn't win.
The money that was in my hand one second was gone the next.
Almost as soon as someone rushed over to tell them that Uchiha Tsuki might be killed, another person told them that the powerful figure who was supposed to kill Uchiha Tsuki was now dead.
Who could stand this?
This feeling of giving people hope and then letting that hope disappear is really frustrating!
Aren't immortals invincible? Immortals who have lived for countless years and have never made a move in the ninja world, now that they have made an unprecedented move, they should be invincible, so how could they have lost?
Jiraiya looked puzzled. He subconsciously overlooked the fact that if the Sage was truly invincible, the invincible Great Toad Sage should have directly killed Uchiha Tsuki in the face of such a calamity, instead of finding him and telling him a prophecy of world destruction.
After all, Uchiha Tsuki represents no simple crisis, but a world-ending crisis that could plunge the entire world into ultimate annihilation. If one had the ability to kill Uchiha Tsuki, who would allow such a monster to continue to exist?
Still can't win?
Is this a world of illusion?
The confident and composed expressions they had just displayed had completely vanished from Tsunade and Jiraiya's faces, replaced by utter solemnity and silence.
Why did he lose? If he wasn't absolutely certain of victory, why did that immortal even bother to fight? Didn't he know it was a suicide mission?
What they didn't know was that the White Snake Immortal was indeed confident of victory; he simply suffered a setback.
"Wait a minute, I need to go to Mount Myōboku!"
Jiraiya left the Hokage's office.
"Little Jiraiya, what do you want with us?"
Shiken looked at Jiraiya and asked in confusion.
"I know Jiraiya is here to ask about something. If you're here to ask about the changes outside, then yes, that's a sage, the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave!"
"Is he really a sage?! What's the current situation of that White Snake Sage? Is he truly no match for Uchiha Tsuki?"
Jiraiya's voice suddenly rose, and he hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"Yes, Ryuchi Cave is now empty. The White Snake Sage, using some unknown method, merged the power of the entire Ryuchi Cave, devouring countless amounts of natural energy, and then—he was defeated!"
Fukasaku shook his head and said in a heavy tone, recalling the words of the Great Toad Immortal in his mind.
The White Snake Immortal is dead! Ryuchi Cave is utterly destroyed!
Although they disliked the snakes in Ryuchi Cave, they were still the three great holy lands that supported each other. Although there had been some friction over the years, it did not affect the relationship between the holy lands.
But now, Ryuchi Cave is gone, completely gone, which made it feel powerless. If even Ryuchi Cave is gone, how far away is Mount Myoboku?
How could a monster like Uchiha Tsuki, such a living natural disaster, appear in this world, directly trampling these holy lands underfoot?
What worries them most is that, so far, the Great Toad Sage has not received any new prophecies about Uchiha Tsukuyomi, and they see no new variables. Perhaps if the Great Toad Sage were given more time, it would be able to see a new future.
But there's not enough time now.
"If we lose, we've truly lost this world. Is there really any hope left?"
Jiraiya lowered his head and took a step back. That day, he had confidently told Orochimaru that he would think of a way. However, so many days had passed, and he still hadn't come up with a solution. No, it wasn't that he had none.
He and Tsunade believed that Uchiha Tsuki might possess the Will of Fire within him, but currently, his power was out of control.
That's why he did such evil, crazy, and stupid things. It's all because that old bastard Danzo wanted to target the Uchiha clan, which provoked Uchiha Tsuki into being like this.
Perhaps if they simply approached Uchiha Tsuki, reasoned with him, and appealed to his emotions, making him realize his mistakes and foolishness, Uchiha Tsuki would eventually repent and atone for his actions of harming the village and killing the Hokage, just like White Fang who slit his own throat.
Those who don't understand the Will of Fire will never comprehend how great it is. Unfortunately, it was mishandled by Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group, who allowed a fool like Danzo to live. If it were Jiraiya, knowing Danzo's true nature, he would definitely have killed him!
He wanted to stop this madman from continuing to wreak havoc on the village.
Of course, that's because Danzo is dead now. As a necessary element of Konoha, the darkness is of unknown use. If Danzo were still alive, Jiraiya probably wouldn't have targeted him.
Because Konoha needs this kind of darkness. Although we don't know what this so-called darkness is actually for, we just need it.
Unfortunately, even if Uchiha Tsukuyomi truly possessed the Will of Fire as they imagined, so what?
They couldn't even get close to Uchiha Tsuki!
"There's hope! There's definitely hope! Jiraiya, keep searching for the Child of Destiny! I believe that the Child of Destiny can save our world!"
Shiken jumped onto Jiraiya's shoulder, comforting Jiraiya who had now become Jimei.
But is being chosen by fate truly useful? Nobody knows, because what's happening now is clearly beyond what was originally destined.
Their fate was not originally like this; it was only changed by those who defied fate.
However, while others defied fate for the better, Danzo (the dog-donkey) did the opposite.
"Yes—"
