"Adam, why do you say that?"
Asuma, who had come to his senses, looked at Adam with some confusion. He didn't know why Adam would say such an inauspicious thing.
Yuhi, standing nearby, also frowned, waiting for Adam's explanation.
"I was born with the ability to see through destiny. Although this ability doesn't manifest every time, once it does, it's almost never wrong.
Just like last time, I saw that you two were about to have a child.
This time, I also saw that you will face a death tribulation soon. So, take care!"
Adam patted Asuma's shoulder with a profound look, then left without waiting for the two to ask further questions.
Only Asuma and Yuhi were left in disarray in the wind.
"It's nothing, he's probably just joking. How could seeing through destiny be real?"
Seeing that Yuhi was still distracted by Adam's words, Asuma quickly tried to comfort her.
But Yuhi grabbed Asuma's hand and said worriedly,
"Adam doesn't seem like the type to make such jokes. And have you forgotten that he's from Mount Myōboku? Rumor has it that the toads of Mount Myōboku seem to have the ability to foresee the future.
I'm afraid..."
Normally, as a Jonin, out of rationality, she might not have believed Adam's words.
But now she was about to become a mother, and she was most sensitive to such matters, preferring to believe it than to dismiss it.
Especially since Adam had indeed predicted her pregnancy when they first met.
"Alright, when I have time, I'll go ask Lady Tsunade to see if Adam really has the ability to see through destiny and foresee the future. Lady Tsunade should know a lot about Mount Myōboku."
To comfort Yuhi, Asuma quickly promised.
He actually didn't really believe Adam's words, but he felt it was necessary to report this information to Tsunade.
Tsunade had previously instructed them that if they encountered Adam in the Village and had any special information, they should report it immediately.
He felt that Adam was not just a summoner from Mount Myōboku; it was more complex than that.
Initially, he had even noticed Anbu monitoring Adam, but that had only recently stopped.
The next day, as soon as Adam was summoned, he received a notification from Kakashi that Tsunade wanted to see him about something.
So, he didn't linger and went directly to the Naruto building in Konoha.
"Lady Tsunade, are you looking for me about Asuma?"
As soon as they met, Adam asked directly.
He guessed that his words about Asuma had most likely reached Tsunade, which was why he was summoned.
If Asuma and Yuhi hadn't taken his words seriously and hadn't told Tsunade, and Tsunade wasn't looking for him because of this matter, then by saying this, he could still pique Tsunade's curiosity and then naturally explain the situation.
"That's right. Asuma came to see me yesterday. I want to ask, are the things you said yesterday really true?"
Tsunade was also very direct, getting straight to the point.
Since it concerned Asuma's death, she naturally took it very seriously.
Asuma didn't know, but she did. Adam was not from Mount Myōboku, but from another World.
So, whether he could foresee the future and see through destiny was truly hard to say.
Adam nodded very solemnly:
"Of course I wouldn't joke about something like this. I can indeed see through destiny and foresee the future. Although the activation of this ability is accidental, so far, whenever I've predicted something, there has basically been no error.
Therefore, if we don't forcibly interfere with the development of destiny, Asuma will inevitably die within half a month."
"You said 'if not forcibly interfere with destiny.' Does that mean if there's a way to interfere with destiny, we can change it and keep Asuma alive?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow.
She didn't completely believe Adam's words; it was too ethereal. But she also didn't dare to completely disbelieve, especially since it involved Asuma's death.
And not to mention Adam coming from another World, even in their own World, there were instances of future prediction.
She had often heard stories from Jiraiya about the Great Toad Sage's prophecies.
So now, she decided to proceed as if Adam's words were true to solve the problem.
"Hmm, well, it's not impossible, but..."
Adam put on a troubled expression.
Seeing this, Tsunade raised an eyebrow and asked,
"Is there some difficulty?"
Changing destiny, something that sounds difficult from the start, so problems were to be expected.
Adam feigned a sigh:
"Indeed, to be honest, since I can see through destiny and foresee the future, I do have the ability to defy fate and change destiny. However, for me, using this ability comes with a considerable cost.
So..."
"Asuma is very important to the Village, Adam. We are willing to compensate you for your cost."
Tsunade instantly understood Adam's meaning and gave her answer without hesitation.
She wasn't foolish. If it was confirmed to be true, paying a greater price to save Asuma would be worth it.
But if it turned out to be false later, the so-called cost could be canceled.
Now, the main thing was to first hear Adam's solution and then judge whether it was true or false.
"Based on my previous prediction, I can, at the cost of burning a portion of my soul, see some scenes of Asuma's death. This will allow me to obtain relevant information and thus prevent the death from happening.
And my condition is that Konoha must teach me all of its Sealing Techniques without reservation."
Seeing that Tsunade understood his meaning, Adam stopped with the pretense and directly stated his terms for the trade.
Sealing Technique was one of the Ninjutsu types he valued most.
One must know that sometimes many beings possess immortality. Some have immortal bodies, while others have immortal souls. Even if your power is strong enough to defeat them, you cannot kill them.
In such situations, Sealing Technique can be effective.
Moreover, the Sealing Techniques in the Ninja World have many effects; they can not only seal an entire person but also seal energy, abilities, and so on.
And Sealing Technique is not like Flying Thunder God Technique or Edo Tensei, which require top-tier talent to learn. It is a system of Ninjutsu, ranging from simple to difficult.
If one wants to learn it, they can certainly learn it, but the effectiveness depends on the individual.
However, he was confident in this. The Uzumaki clan was originally best at Sealing Technique, and they could also develop the Adamantine Sealing Chains inherent in their Bloodline.
Mainly, he wasn't confident in trading Asuma's life for forbidden Ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God Technique and Edo Tensei.
"Sealing Technique? I thought... Alright, no problem!"
Hearing Adam's trade condition, Tsunade paused for a moment, then immediately agreed.
She guessed that Adam might want to trade for Ninjutsu. She had learned from Naruto that Adam had summoned Toad Boss to his World to help in battle, and the powerful individuals in that World were terrifyingly strong.
So she thought Adam wanted to trade for some of Konoha's high-power Ninjutsu.
