Chapter 16 The Prophecy of the End Times
Chapter 16 The Prophecy of the End Times
The giant toad immortal looked at them silently, and everyone's hearts sank.
"Jiraiya, go to Konoha. The disaster started in Konoha. Remember, no matter what you see, do not do anything. Leave the village."
The Great Toad Sage looked at Jiraiya and spoke slowly, then closed his eyes.
Not long after, Jiraiya left Mount Myōboku.
"Damn it, what on earth happened? Why did Konoha become the starting point of this disaster? No, I have to get back to Konoha immediately!"
Somewhere in the ninja world, Jiraiya appeared. Recalling the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, he immediately transformed into a blur and rushed towards Konoha, his heart filled with anxiety.
"What on earth happened? How could the world be destroyed? This is unbelievable..."
Ninjas are incredibly fast. Before long, Jiraiya, who was in the Land of Rice Fields, left the country and entered the Land of Fire. As he approached Konoha, he encountered the Konoha villagers who had fled there.
"Lord Jiraiya, you're finally back!"
"What happened? What are you all doing here? Where's the teacher?"
Jiraiya frowned as he looked at the ninjas in front of him.
The ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment, and then Nara Shikaku stepped forward.
"Jiraiya, the Hokage-sama... is dead."
Nara Shikaku said with a sorrowful expression.
"What!!!!"
Jiraiya was greatly surprised. Dead? How could that be?
Soon, Nara Shikaku told Jiraiya everything that had happened in Konoha not long ago. After listening, Jiraiya fell silent.
The story is quite simple. It turns out that Danzo Shimura, the so-called Dark One of Konoha, wanted to take action against the Uchiha clan. He succeeded, but he also failed, giving birth to a monster. If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal, since the Uchiha clan had already been wiped out and the matter was settled. All they could do was kill this out-of-control Uchiha clan orphan, and then the matter would be over.
It was a very simple matter, but this monster was just too strong, so strong that even the entire Hidden Leaf Village combined couldn't defeat it. Things became very serious. Now, a lot of Hidden Leaf Village ninjas have died, and even the Hokage has sacrificed himself.
"Uchiha Tsuki... Damn it, Danzo, why did he have to target the Uchiha clan?! He's made Konoha like this."
After listening to Nara Shikaku's explanation, Jiraiya gritted his teeth and said that he was extremely dissatisfied with Shimura Danzo. Unfortunately, Danzo was already dead. In the end, the reason why Konoha had become like this was because of that idiot Shimura Danzo.
They didn't know that it was actually Uchiha Itachi who made the move. After all, Uchiha Itachi was already dead before they saw him, and the Root members had long been wiped out by Uchiha Tsukuyomi.
"Could this be the cataclysmic disaster the Great Toad Sage spoke of? How could a mere madman from the Uchiha clan possibly destroy the world?"
Jiraiya frowned, feeling utterly bewildered. He couldn't understand how a person, no matter how strong, could become a natural disaster.
"No, I have to go and see what's going on. Since he's a member of Konoha, he might have the Will of Fire. His current behavior might just be an act of anger. Maybe I can persuade him to atone for his sins."
Jiraiya said, and then immediately wanted to go to Konoha to see that guy named Uchiha Tsuki. As for why they knew Uchiha Tsuki's name, it was because someone had seen what Uchiha Tsuki looked like and found out afterward. Unfortunately, knowing the name was actually not very useful.
If he could, Jiraiya would have tried to kill this guy who destroyed Konoha and make him atone for his actions. As a member of Konoha, who gave him the power and the guts to attack his own comrades? Are you even a Konoha ninja?
"No, you can't get close. You can't even talk to that monster! We need a new Hokage now. Jiraiya, don't be impulsive!"
Nara Shikaku grabbed Jiraiya's arm to stop him.
"We'll talk about the Hokage issue later. How do we know it won't work if we don't even try?"
Jiraiya shook his head. He had to go and see what was going on.
Seeing that his attempts to dissuade him were futile, Nara Shikaku shook his head and had no choice but to send some ninjas with Jiraiya to the present-day Konoha to see for themselves. They believed that Jiraiya would back down after witnessing the terrifying scene, as that kind of power was simply beyond human capability to handle. The Uchiha clan had given birth to a true monster.
Not long after...
"This...this...this is..."
Jiraiya and the Konoha ninjas stood atop the mountain, gazing in awe at the starkly contrasting world before them. To their eyes lay bright sunshine, while in the distance, a dark and gloomy expanse stretched out, a terrifying realm that, simply by looking at it, evoked a sense of gloom and deathly stillness.
"That monster's power has grown stronger; this place is now beyond Konoha."
One of the ninjas beside Jiraiya took a step back, staring in horror at the desolate area. They could no longer see the blurry shadow standing in the sky.
"Yes, when we left, this area didn't even cover Konoha. Could it be that monster is moving?"
One of the ninjas guessed.
Jiraiya, who was listening to the conversation between the two, took a deep breath and rushed over. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the edge of the domain. He wanted to persuade or kill Uchiha Tsuki, but he could only do so by seeing Uchiha Tsuki.
He already knew that within this special realm, the power within his body would be continuously absorbed.
But who is he? He is Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, not some nobody. Even if this thing can absorb chakra, he should be able to withstand it to some extent, until he met Uchiha Tsuki.
Thinking this, Jiraiya entered the domain directly. However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He discovered that his chakra was flowing out of his body uncontrollably, and no matter how he tried to control it, he could not stop it.
"not good!"
Jiraiya immediately jumped out, and several Konoha ninjas caught him.
"Lord Jiraiya, are you alright?"
"It's alright. I didn't expect this guy's strength to be so strange."
Jiraiya shook his head, looking warily at the ever-expanding territory behind him. He hadn't expected the ability to devour chakra to be so terrifying; he was completely powerless to resist. He was alright at the edge, but if he went deeper, he might die.
