"Dangerous divination?"
When Jiraiya heard those words, his expression became solemn as he took this matter to the greatest importance!
"Come on! Let's go!"
Hearing that another divination had come, Jiraiya didn't waste his time and wanted to hear it as soon as possible, since he knew well that even if that ancestor toad was senile, and often did many things, he still believed in its ability for divination since nothing had gone wrong with that divination.
Or rather, he believed in the toad, especially when it gave him a divination about the Savior, who would save this world.
With that purpose, he had left Konoha and had been traveling around the world to search for the Child of Savior, hoping for this savior to truly bring the peace that he had longed for.
Yet, somehow that ancestor toad had a divination about a danger that would involve the world and everyone who lived in it?
What did it mean?
Would a big war happen? Or a certain existence would be awoken and bring danger to everyone?
As he kept thinking, he couldn't stay calm as he hurried himself toward the Great Toad Sage!
The others also quickly followed Jiraiya, and before long, they arrived at the room where an old, yet gigantic, seemingly closed-eyed, yet somehow awoken, as its body twitched from time to time before it was fully asleep.
"..." Everyone.
"Wake up, you geezer!"
"Ah, oh, good evening."
"...." Everyone.
"Fukusaku? Shima? What's wrong? Why did you wake me up?" Gamamaru, the sage of toad, looked at the two with doubt, yet still feeling sleepy, and was about to sleep again.
"Didn't you tell us to call Jiraiya?! Hurry up and tell him about the divination!"
"Jiraiya? Who is that?"
"..." Everyone.
"Great Toad Sage, it's me! I am Jiraiya, the contractor of the toad!"
"Oh, right, Jiraiaya, I remember."
After being reminded, Gamamaru remembered who Jiraiya was, which made everyone sigh in relief.
"So, what is it that you want to tell me? A disaster divination? What do you mean?"
Jiraiya was more concerned about the divination that the toad sage had received, and he wanted to know whether it would bring the destruction of the world, which made him unable to calm down!
However—
"I don't know."
"....." Everyone.
"You Geezer!"
"I really don't know." Yet, even if many were angry, Gamamaru only shook his head calmly. "That shadow was hard to see; it was so elusive, but for one thing, I could see he had bat-like wings."
"Bat-like wings?"
They were all confused by his words. "He wasn't like a human. He might be something different, and..." As he paused, Gamamaru's eyes showed a rare solemnness that made all of them tremble. "He might come from another planet."
"..."
"...another planet?"
"Yes."
"..." Everyone.
"What do you mean?"
What did Gamamaru mean?
As he saw their confusion, Gamamaru let out a helpless sigh and said, "Let me tell you the beginning of the ninja world."
"The beginning of the ninja world?"
Yet before they were able to ask, he told them how the ninja was created and how a disaster like existence emerged.
Still, while everyone listened carefully, thinking that it was the real history that they thought of, Gamamaru's eyes flickered with a certain meaning that was impossible to gauge.
"So, the Sage of the Six Paths is real?!" Jiraiya was dumbfounded.
"Yes." Gamamaru nodded. "At that time, he also had a brother, and they worked together to seal the danger of the world."
"Who?!"
"The Rabbit Goddess, Kaguya Ootsuki, the source of disaster in the world."
Gamamaru retold to them how Kaguya planned to use this planet for her selfish purposes, killing all the living beings, and everything, but fortunately, the Sage of Six Paths and his brother stopped her, and sealed her up somewhere in a place that no one knew.
Yet, as he told them this story, it was easy for them to connect everything.
"Then... was this Rabbit Goddess unsealed?"
"I don't know, but the divination didn't focus on the Rabbit Goddess. Instead, it was more about this bat-like or even demon-like figure that was about to bring a calamity to the world. If we weren't careful, then this world..."
Gamamaru's eyes showed fear as he thought of the fate of all the toads in the world. Even worse, it seemed like the eyes of that figure seemed to be staring at him when he did the divination, which made him not dare to do this divination again, since if he did, then... he felt that this figure might realize that he had watched him!
"Jiraiya, you need to find the chosen savior. You must be. Everything in this world, whether this world can continue or not, we can only rely on him, or else... this world... this world..."
As Gamamaru entered his dementia version again, everyone, whether it was Jiraiya, and all the toads around, felt a cold sweat as if a sharp sickle was placed on their necks, ready to take their lives any moment, yet for one thing, all of them could only do their best to find the chosen savior, or else...
Meanwhile, Shinra felt his nose was itchy before he sneezed.
"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?" Yakushi Nono asked worriedly.
"Hmm... I think someone is talking about me?"
"Will there be anyone who will talk to you? There shouldn't be a lot of people who know that you are still alive, right?" Orochimaru asked with doubt.
"Well, that's true."
Those who knew about Shinra who were still living and became strong were either being controlled by him or simply died. Deaths aside, those who had lived had all become vampires, and their lives were simply as good as those in his hands. Moreover, why did they even think to betray him when he gave them power?
And they were just so powerful in front of him.
With all of that, who would dare to cause him trouble?
"Hmm...."
Shinra somehow looked up, hoping that it was just his imagination, but as he could see a slight moment in the future, he wondered whether he could do a divination, catching a glimpse of the future that shouldn't be seen.
'Should I take that toad's ability?'
Well, let's do that later, since in his mind, Sarutobi and his group were more important.
"Let's talk about the plan to make Orochimaru into a Hokage."
"Okay." 2x
"Also, Orochimaru told the snakes that I want to learn Senjutsu."
"Huh?"
The danger of this world didn't come from the one that lived on this planet, but the alien group that wanted to take this planet for themselves and use it for their own purpose.
As Shinra had planned to take this planet for himself, how could he allow others to snatch it from him?
Still, before that, he wanted to learn the senjutsu, one of the abilities that worked on that alien group, the last antagonist, who was known as the Ootsuki Clan.
