Fukasaku: GET OUT! GET OUT OF MOUNT MYOBOKU RIGHT NOW!
Kouske: WHAT? WHY?
Fukasaku: WHY? YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO ASK WHY? LOOK AT THEM.
Fukasaku pointed to the different giant toad yakuza groups in front of them that are fighting and leaving destruction everywhere.
Fukasaku: YOU FAILED BEING A BABYSITTER BECAUSE YOU WERE TEACHING KIDS HOW TO CUSS.
Kouske: THEY WERE VIOLENT, I TAUGHT THEM HOW TO BE VIOLENT WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE. NOW THEY DO NOT FIGHT, EXCEPT BY USING THEIR TONGUE.
Fukasaku: BUT THEY CUSS AT THEIR PARENTS AND EVEN ELDERS. ONE EVEN CUSSED AT ME SAYING 'WHAT'S UP MOTHER FUCKER'. I, THE GREAT SAGE OF MOUNT MYOBOKU, WAS CUSSED AT BY A KID TOAD.
Kouske: IT IS NOT MY FAULT THAT KID CUSSED AT YOU. WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO ITS PARENTS OR TALK TO THE KID.
Fukasaku: YOU ARE THE ONE THAT TAUGHT HIM THAT. YOU! WHY SHOULD I TALK TO THE PARENTS. AFTER YOU FAILED AT THAT, I ASSIGNED YOU AS A LIBRARIAN. YOUR STATEMENT THAT "GENETICALLY IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR TWO RED TOADS TO HAVE EVEN A SINGLE BABY TOAD THAT IS YELLOW OR ANY OTHER COLOR ASIDE FROM RED.", WAS HEARD BY THE OTHER TOADS THERE. THEN IT SPREADED ALL OVER MOUNT MYOBOKU. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MARRIAGES YOU BROKE?
Kouske: HEY, HOW WOULD I HAVE KNOWN YOU GUYS DO NOT KNOW GENETICS? ALSO, I DID NOT KNOW SO MANY SPOUSES WERE CHEATING.
Fukasaku: I THEN ASSIGNED YOU AS A NEGOTIATOR OF THE BOSS TOAD'S GROUP. I TOLD YOU JUST LIKE HOW THERE ARE CLANS OUTSIDE, THERE ARE TOAD GROUPS HERE. THE BOSS TOAD MEDIATES BETWEEN THEM WHEN FIGHTS BREAK OUT. YOUR JOB AS THE NEGOTIATOR WAS TO DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATION. BUT LOOK AT THIS, INSTEAD OF THAT YOU HAVE DONE AN AMAZING JOB OF SOWING SEEDS OF DISCORD AND NOW ALL THE GROUPS ARE FIGHTING AND EVEN THE BOSS TOAD'S POSITION AS THE BOSS IS IN DANGER.
Kouske: THE BOSS TOAD SHOULD BE THE STRONGEST, NO? ALSO, HIS GROUP SHOULD BE THE STRONGEST AS WELL. I MEAN, EVERY GROUP IS PORTRAYING ITSELF AS A YAKUZA GROUP. I JUST SENT INVITATIONS THAT SAID "COME TO NEGOTIATE YOU ASSHOLES, OR THE BOSS WILL TEACH YOU ALL PAIN CLOSER TO DEATH". HOW SHOULD I HAVE KNOWN THAT THE BOSS TOAD IS NOT THAT MUCH STRONGER THAN THE OTHER TOAD LEADERS. ALSO, HIS GROUP IS NOT THAT MUCH STRONGER. FRANKLY, IT IS A MYSTERY TO ME HOW HE BECAME THE BOSS TOAD.
Fukasaku: YOU! HUFF....HUFF...GET OUT OF MOUNT MYOBOKU RIGHT NOW!
Fukasaku was really angry and breathing heavily.
Kouske: Come on, it has been 2 months. Now you gotta train me.
Fukasaku: I WON'T TRAIN YOU EVEN IF THE HELL FREEZES.
Kouske: BUT YOU MADE A PROMISE!
Fukasaku: YOU DID NOT PASS ANY OF MY TESTS. THE BABYSITTING TASK WAS FOR ME TO SEE HOW YOU CONNECT TO THE FUTURE GENERATION. YOU TAUGHT THEM PROFANITY. THE LIBRARIAN TASK WAS FOR ME TO SEE HOW YOU SHARE KNOWLEDGE. YOU BROKE MARRIAGES. THE NEGOTIATOR TASK WAS FOR ME TO SEE, HOW YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND DIFFERENT TOAD GROUPS AND THEIR NEEDS AND HOW WOULD YOU MEDIATE FIGHTS BETWEEN THEM. YOU!....FUCKING!.....MADE!.....THEM!....START!...A!...WAR!
YOU FAILED ALL OF MY TESTS. GET OUT RIGHT NOW!
Kouske: WHAT! THOSE TASKS HAD THOSE PURPOSE BEHIND THEM? I thought you were just testing my patience or something. If you had just told me what you were expecting from me then I would have done a much better job. I am not a psychic, you know. Okay, give me another chance. Give me a new task but tell me clearly what you are expecting. I promise, I will go beyond your expectations.
Fukasaku pointed at the war that was happening in front of them.
Fukasaku: You will go beyond that? MOUNT MYOBOKU WILL BE DESTROYED IF YOU GO BEYOND MORE OF MY EXPECTATIONS. GET OUT! NOW!
Kouske: FINE! YOU GIVE ME NO CHOICE. I HAVE TO BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS.
Fukasaku: WHAT?
Kouske started running from there.
Fukasaku: HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? COME BACK HERE! HMM, WHY IS HE GOING TOWARDS MY HOUSE?
Fukasaku started to follow him. When reached his house. He could hear a child crying.
Kouske: WAAAAH, WAAAH, shima-sama, fukasaku-sama is kicking me out of Mount Myoboku. He is also breaking his promise and not training me.
Shima: WHAT DID YOU SAY? HOW CAN THAT GEEZER KICK YOU OUT WHEN YOU ARE SUCH A SWEET BOY? LET HIM COME, I WILL TEACH HIM A LESSON. LET ME SEE HOW WILL HE KICK YOU OUT?
Fukasaku: Kaa-san, What are you doing?
Shima: YOU GEEZER, HOW CAN YOU KICK OUT SUCH A SWEET BOY? HAVE YOU GONE MAD?
Fukasaku: s...sweet? him?
[Kouske-inner-thought: MUHAHAHAHAHAHA, TAKE THAT YOU GEEZER. Looks like eating all of those disgusting insects cuisines and helping shima-sama with house work was worth it. HAHAHAHAHA, A HUSBAND CAN NEVER WIN AGAINST HIS WIFE. EVEN IF HE IS CORRECT. YOU CAN NOT FIGHT WOMEN WITH LOGIC.]
Fukasaku: kaa-san, you don't know what he did. He caused a war and previously...
Shima: I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENED! HE IS A CHILD. YOU CAN'T EXPECT HIM TO PASS YOUR TESTS THAT YOU GIVE TO ADULTS. HE IS SUCH A SWEET BOY, HE HELPS ME ALL THE TIME. HOW CAN HE BE WRONG? IF YOU WANT DINNER AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD WORKING AS IT HAS BEEN THEN STOP HIM FROM CRYING AND START TRAINING HIM. HELL, IF YOU DO NOT START TRAINING HIM THEN I WILL DO IT. BUT YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN FOOD.
Fukasaku: kaa-san, What?
Fukasaku looked at the crying Kouske and Kouske gave a grin while crying.
[Fukasaku-inner-thought: This chibi-devil, when did he start manipulating Shima?]
Fukasaku: sigh...Fine, come with me Kouske. I will start your training.
Kouske: WAAAH, you....you promise, you won't be mad anymore?
[Fukasaku-inner-thought: THIS DEVIL! STILL ACTING AS A CHILD.]
Fukasaku: Sigh...yeah, I won't so let's go.
Shima: IF I HEAR ANY COMPLAINT AGAIN THEN YOU BETTER BE READY FOR MY ANGER. TREAT THE BOY NICELY AND TRAIN HIM RIGHT AS WELL. NO CUTTING CORNERS.
Fukasaku: yeah, yeah.
Shima: COME BACK AT DINNER TIME.
...
Both Kouske and Fukasaku were now quite far from the house. Kouske has just been following Fukasaku and both were quiet, then Fukasaku stopped and looked at Kouske.
Fukasaku: YOU!.....Sigh, how long have you been manipulating Shima?
Kouske: Come on Fukasaku-sama, that is harsh. I never manipulated Shima-sama. I just helped her with household work while you were busy with your duties. She is just kind.
Fukasaku: Fine, I will train you. But first you gotta clear your own mess and stop that war.
Kouske: HUH? How am I gonna do that?
Fukasaku: Figure it out yourself.
Kouske: Come on, you are the great sage elder. One word from you and all will stop fighting.
Fukasaku: I know. But I want to see how you would do it.
Kouske: I can not find a solution right away. If you want to see the war becoming more brutal then I have a couple of ways to make that happen but peace...Tch, I cannot think of a way right away.
Fukasaku: YOU! And you want to be a sage? You can think of ways to make the war brutal? and not a single way to make it stop? Why should I train you when all you have shown me is violence, profanity and war.
Kouske: Because that is what I have always been taught. If you want me to think about how to create peace then you have to teach it to me. You do realise that outside of Mount Myoboku, wars are happening. You have probably figured out by now that I was a shinobi and I fought in those wars. Do you think my clan taught the kids how to create peace? No, ever since our training started we have been only taught how to fight, assassinate, espionage, sabotage etc. Tell me, can you give an answer to peace if all you have been taught are for war?
Fukasaku became silent. This answer of Kouske really did hit him.
[Fukasaku-inner-thought: true, if all you have been taught are for war, how can one learn about peace.]
Fukasaku: Fine, Your training starts tomorrow. I need to go and clean your mess first.
...
[The next day]
Fukasaku: Here, sign this contract. Once you do, you are contracted to us.
Kouske signed the contract with his blood.
Fukasaku: I am gonna be straight with you. It has been some time since I took a disciple. A human one specially. I have trained toads but it has been a while since the last human came here. Also, you are....how should I put it?.....Cra....No,.....Ma.....No...
Kouske: Just say crazy and mad, I don't mind.
Fukasaku: Different was the word I would use. Now, I want to teach you not only Jutsus but also principles that you should follow. I also wish that you do something about your mental instability and you learn more about peace. If everyone craves and learns about war then the whole world will be on fire in just a matter of time. So, there should be people who spread peace. If you want to be a sage then I want you to be a sage of peace. Although it is difficult for you as I know you have only been taught how to kill. But I hope under my tutelage you will develop your character and become someone who is talked about by others as a man of principles and peace. A true sage.
Kouske: I will try my best.
Kouske bowed to his new master.
[Kouske-inner-thought: I will try Fukasaku-sama, I promise. But in this unfair world full of war, only might makes right.]
