Chapter 118: Great Toad Sage got summoned
Early morning.
After a night.
Jiraiya's injuries have healed nicely.
When this elite ninja instructor began teaching Akihara Kagura, he seemed to become serious: "First, what I will teach you is the art of Summoning"
This was the first technique Jiraiya chose to teach Akihara Kagura. Rather than simply teaching the art of Summoning, it was more about Jiraiya wanting Akihara Kagura to sign a summoning contract with Mount Myoboku, thereby establishing a connection between Akihara Kagura and Mount Myoboku.
Mount Myoboku is one of the three great sage heritages in the ninja world.
Only in a sage heritage site can one have the possibility to learn Sage Mode.
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Jiraiya to teach Akihara Kagura primarily to enable Kagura to learn Sage Mode, as many of the powerful Wood Release techniques of Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage of Konoha, were recorded as Sage Jutsu.
To make Akihara Kagura as powerful as the First Hokage, it was essential for Kagura to learn Sage Mode. Currently, in the entire ninja world, Jiraiya is the only known ninja to master Sage Mode.
Through yesterday's lesson, Jiraiya believed that Akihara Kagura was not a person with evil intentions and decided to let Kagura sign a summoning contract with Mount Myoboku.
"Summoned creatures can help a ninja do many things"
Jiraiya has always been very skilled in using summoned creatures from Mount Myoboku.
These toads can not only assist him in battle but also help with disguises, communication, and concealment, greatly aiding Jiraiya.
"Now"
"Let's have you sign the summoning contract with Mount Myoboku!"
"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"
Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals and slammed his palm on the ground!
A black summoning circle appeared on the ground, and a puff of smoke rose from the circle, revealing a large toad.
The toad wore a loyalty tag around its neck and held a scroll in its mouth. It gently extended its long tongue and placed the scroll in front of Akihara Kagura.
"This is the summoning contract scroll that our generation has signed with Mount Myoboku. You need to write your name on the scroll with your own blood to establish a summoning contract with Mount Myoboku. From then on, you can summon toads from Mount Myoboku to assist you"
The scroll slowly opened, revealing rows of blanks.
The names of five individuals were written at the front of this summoning scroll, with Jiraiya's name second to last, and the name of a certain Otsutsuki Hagoromo at the top.
Akihara Kagura bit his finger and wrote down his name.
"..."
Jiraiya watched Kagura's actions, murmuring to himself: "The art of Summoning is a space-time technique and also relies heavily on talent. But since you were able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, combined with your chakra, you should easily summon the toad Gamabunta, and possibly even the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima"VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Toad Gamabunta.
Among the toads of Mount Myoboku, Gamabunta boasts an exceptionally strong combat ability and is one of Jiraiya's most important partners, assisting him in numerous battles.
Fukasaku and Shima, two sage toads, are Gamabunta's parents and esteemed elders of Mount Myoboku. Both sages possess the ability to wield powerful senjutsu.
Most importantly...
These two sage toads are true mentors, not only teaching ninjas how to merge natural energy with their chakra to use senjutsu but also assisting them in entering Sage Mode.
If Akihara Kagura could summon Fukasaku and Shima, learning or utilizing Sage Mode in combat would become much simpler.
"Ninjutsu: Summoning Jutsu!"
Akihara Kagura quickly brought his hands together in a seal and released his first summoning jutsu in the ninja world, immediately sensing the summonable creatures!
Besides the Ten-Tails' husk within himself, there were many summonable creatures from a hidden place, both large and small, and Akihara Kagura issued the summon command!
Mount Myoboku.
This is a Sage's place in the ninja world.
Deep within a temple on Mount Myoboku, a giant orange toad sat on a huge chair, soundly asleep with its eyes closed.
This giant toad wore a string of prayer beads around its neck with a "Oil" character plaque in the middle, and a hat symbolizing wisdom on its head.
The Great Toad Sage.
The founder of the Mount Myoboku legacy site and the highest-ranking individual in Mount Myoboku, he spends years dreaming, foreseeing the future in his dreams.
"It seems... someone is calling me..."
The Great Toad Sage seemed to murmur something in his sleep.
By the Great Toad Sage's side.
Stood Fukasaku and Shima, the two sage toads.
These two sages are very small in stature, preferring to walk upright, and their thought processes are very human-like.
"Old fool, did you sleep in confusion again?"
Sage Shima was always quite blunt with the Great Toad Sage.
"Could it be another prophecy..."
Sage Fukasaku shook his head, about to say something when he sensed someone initiating a summoning contract with them!
"This is..."
"Someone is summoning us!"
"Can't remember me? That's really great!"
Jiraiya's face beamed with joy, happily persuading it: "Then you must also forget about today's events, hurry up and cancel the summoning to go home and sleep!"
"I remember now, it's little Jiraiya..."
The Great Toad Sage slowly uttered Jiraiya's name.
"..."
Jiraiya's expression instantly froze, and he dejectedly sat on the ground, resigned to be scolded: "Never mind, I'll summon Fukasaku first and explain everything clearly!"
Mount Myoboku.
Deep in the temple of Mount Myoboku.
While Fukasaku and Shima were still hesitating, a huge toad leaped over; it was the son of the two sages, Gamabunta!
"Gama has just returned!"
"Gama told me that the Great Toad Sage was summoned by someone!"
"That guy Jiraiya has taken a disciple, and that kid used the summoning technique for the first time and was not skilled, directly summoning the Great Toad Sage!"
"That kid wanted to silence him, to kill the Great Toad Sage!"
"That guy Jiraiya is summoning me!"
The huge Gamabunta sensed someone was summoning him, holding a giant smoking pipe: "I'm going there now to see which arrogant kid it is!"
On a mountain top near the town.
"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique!"
As Jiraiya performed the summoning technique, an extremely large red toad appeared here!
This huge toad had a smoking pipe in its mouth, a series of tongue piercings on its tongue, and a short sword hanging at its waist, making it look very formidable.
It was Gamabunta from Mount Myoboku.
"Which kid..."
Just as Gamabunta appeared and was about to curse, he saw the Great Toad Sage sitting on the ground, focusing on a young boy standing in front of it.
The Great Toad Sage conversed briefly with Jiraiya and then ceased to focus on him, instead intently observing Akihara Kagura, the one who had summoned him.
"Little one"
"A little one who has never appeared in my dreams"
"Even though I can see the story of Hamura and Hagoromo, even the tale of an ant moving its home, I still can't see your story"
"Huh?"
Jiraiya was about to explain to Gamabunta when he suddenly heard these words and sharply reacted, turning his gaze towards the Great Toad Sage!
"Wait, Great Toad Sage!"
"Great Toad Sage can't see Kagura, does that mean Kagura is not the Child of Prophecy?"
""
The Great Toad Sage slowly shook his head.
"Is it not so"
Jiraiya's brows furrowed, a hint of disappointment appearing on his face.
""
The Great Toad Sage did not respond, continuing to gaze at Akihara Kagura, trying to see through the boy as if through a veil, unable to clearly perceive anything beyond the surface that Kagura presented.
"But"
"Nature is very close to you."
"Can't you feel their presence?"
The Great Toad Sage possessed an immeasurable amount of natural energy and could see the natural energy constantly drawing close to Kagura.
This natural energy, even more than the Great Toad Sage, sought closeness with Kagura, something the sage had never witnessed in thousands of years.
"Are you talking about these?"
Kagura lifted his hand, as if he could sense the natural energy.
This natural energy was absorbed into Kagura's body.
A shade of black and white eyeshadow appeared on Kagura's face, and a tremendous aura burst forth from him, instantly knocking over Gamabunta and Jiraiya, leaving only the Great Toad Sage unmoved in his original place!
Jiraiya quickly hid on top of Gamabunta's head, staring in amazement at Kagura standing before the Great Toad Sage!
"That is Sage Mode!"
