Chapter 234: Myoboku Mountain's Decisiveness
Myoboku Mountain can confirm the life and death of the contractor through the summoning scroll. When the scroll loses the contract effect of a person, it means that Myoboku Mountain has lost a contractor.
This is not only a method used by Myoboku Mountain. The Wet Bone Forest and Ryuchi Cave can also be confirmed in this way.
"Master Fukasaku, Master Fukasaku, something happened!"
A toad hopped in front of Fukasaku and said in panic to the Fukasaku toad who was several times smaller than him: "Jiraiya is dead. He just canceled the summoning contract with Myoboku Mountain, and even the scroll toad can't sense him."
"What did you say? Little Jiraiya is dead?"
Fukasaku's old toad suddenly showed an expression of disbelief on his face, and then immediately used the reverse summoning technique, but its fairy chakra only summoned some useless smoke, and no one responded to it at all.
"Little Jiraiya... is really dead; what about Minato? Is Minato still alive?"
Without waiting for the toad to report, Fukasaku used the reverse summoning technique again, but this time he could feel the connection with Minato Namikaze, but he did not respond to his summoning.
The toad who reported the news said worriedly: "Master Fukasaku, brother Ken was summoned by Jiraiya to help, and he has not returned yet."
Fukasaku sighed and said: "I will discuss this matter with the master, you go back first."
"Yes, I know, Master Fukasaku."
After the toad who reported the news said, he jumped away from here; the news of Jiraiya's death was still discovered by them. If Ken was still alive, he would have lifted the summoning technique and returned to Myoboku Mountain.
Afterwards, Fukasaku called Shima and came to the big toad sage together.
"Is that Fukasaku? Long time no see."
Fukasaku was surprised that the Great Toad Sage was actually awake, and he quickly said: "Master, little Jiraiya is dead!"
The Great Toad Sage was stunned for a while, then said in confusion: "Little Jiraiya...who is he?"
Shima was so angry that he cursed: "Old confused, have you even forgotten little Jiraiya?"
The Great Toad Sage was not angry either, and said slowly: "That is not important, I was awakened this time, Fukasaku, this dream is terrible."
Fukasaku asked: "What did you dream about?"
"Destruction, total destruction." The Great Toad Sage said solemnly: "Myoboku Mountain is gone, Fukasaku, everyone will die."
Shima was inexplicably angry and said: "What kind of prophecy is this? Myoboku Mountain has existed for thousands of years, and this old guy must have fallen asleep again."
"Old woman, don't say bad things about the master."
The big toad immortal advised nonchalantly: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, Fukasaku, I remember that besides little Jiraiya, there is another contractor named Minato. The hope of Myoboku Mountain in the future lies in him, give him the thing on the mountain."
"That? I know, master."
Fukasaku agreed in surprise, and even gave the thing to Minato Namikaze. In Fukasaku's hundreds of years of memory, it was the first time.
Konoha Village, so many people disappeared at once, this matter can't be concealed at all.
Even if the people of the Ino-Shika-Chou and the Sarutobi clans can conceal it with shadow clones and transformation techniques, it is not a long-term solution. Transformation techniques can be detected, especially those who died. Many of them are registered ninjas of Konoha Village. One mission can tear their cover.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was rescued by Minato Namikaze, the aftermath of the explosion still made the two unconscious for a long time; it was not until the next day that they barely woke up. At that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen found that he only had one arm left. Can you still be a ninja with only one arm left?
A physical ninja may be able to do it, but Sarutobi Hiruzen is already over 50 years old. A physical ninja at this age may not be able to beat even the special jonin in the village, and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not focus on physical skills before.
"Third-generation sir, let's go back first?"
Namikaze Minato said to Sarutobi Hiruzen. He originally wanted to persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen to learn one-handed seals, as he had studied it for a while; but thinking that the third-generation Hokage was a ninjutsu doctor, if he spoke, it would seem that he looked down on Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Go back, Minato, we have to talk to the people of the Nara clan about Shikaku. And Jiraiya..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very sad. Jiraiya was the disciple who suited him best. The cups he used to drink tea were all given by Jiraiya more than ten years ago; and Shikaku. When Shikadai brought him to visit the Sarutobi clan, he said that Shikaku was better than his father and hoped that he could take care of him, but he didn't expect that
there were still people from the Sarutobi clan and those ninjas of Ino-Shika-Chou.
It seems that even Sarumo didn't escape this time. Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered that before he was taken away by Flying Thunder God, he just saw Sarumo wailing in pain.
Namikaze Minato was also very sad. The last move just now was very similar to the move in the intelligence given by Kakashi, Thunder.
In other words, it was pure luck that he and the Third Hokage were able to escape last night. If he hadn't used all his chakra to come to a relatively far coordinate of Flying Thunder God, he might have been caught and taken back.
The two rested for a while, and then Namikaze Minato ate some soldiers pills to restore chakra, and then rushed to Konoha with Sarutobi Hiruzen; his injuries could still support him for a while, and the wound had stopped bleeding a long time ago.
When they arrived near Konoha, Namikaze Minato directly used Flying Thunder God to take Sarutobi Hiruzen back.
The return of the two immediately caused a lot of shock in the Sarutobi family, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen's broken arm. Fortunately, Sarutobi Biwako was a medical ninja, and he re-treated the wound, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel better.
"Minato, stay here for now. We should think carefully about the future."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Namikaze Minato solemnly. They couldn't do this any longer.
"I'll go talk to the Nara family."
Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "I understand, Third-sama." Sarutobi Hiruzen
sighed, then put on his hat and cloak and left the Sarutobi clan.
After a while, the Nara clan was sobbing in grief. This time, the Nara clan suffered a great loss. Nara Shikaku, who had just become the clan leader, died in a secret mission. The most important thing was that it could not be publicized.
But when someone died, we had to do something. It happened that Ino Shikacho and the Sarutobi clan were close, so a death statement and funeral application appeared on the Hokage's desk.
"Poisoning? Suspected to be revenge from the Root. Hiashi-kun, has the Root been able to reach into Konoha? They have assassinated the head of a clan and more than 30 elite ninjas."
After reading the explanations of Ino-Shika-Chou and the Sarutobi Four Clans, Orochimaru threw them into the trash can. Anyone who believed such words would be an idiot, and Nawaki actually handed such things to
him. said helplessly: "The attitude of the Third Hokage is very tough. The subordinates cannot bring people in to check, and the Third Hokage seems to have used a transformation technique."
"Namikaze Minato came back a few days ago. It seems that they did something outside the village, but they suffered heavy losses. I'll go find someone to ask."
Orochimaru shook his head and said, thinking of Namikaze Minato who returned to the village to rest some time ago, he immediately guessed what happened.
If this matter has nothing to do with Kahn, then he will send out the Anbu to find out who in the ninja world can make Sarutobi teacher lose so badly.
