Chapter 158: What! I'm the Great Demon of the Shinobi World's Destruction?
Chapter 158: What! I'm the Great Demon of the Shinobi World’s Destruction?
"Little Jiraiya, the future has changed. In my dreams, I saw the shinobi world covered in endless blood and fire, with Konoha and Mount Myoboku disappearing!"
The words of the Great Toad Sage left the two toads and Jiraiya in disbelief.
But the Sage's identity left them no choice but to believe.
Jiraiya had spent his entire life on a quest to find the 'Chosen One' based on a single prophecy, sacrificing everything.
Now, the Sage had a new, even more shocking prophecy.
"Great Sage, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Even Shima, who revered him deeply, couldn't help but ask.
They had to ask. If Konoha and Mount Myoboku were to disappear, it meant that all the toads living there would die as well.
"Such was the dream!"
The Great Toad Sage's tone remained calm, as if he didn't understand the implications of Mount Myoboku's disappearance.
Jiraiya, who usually acted carefree, now asked seriously:
"Great Toad Sage, do you have any more clues besides this?"
Without more information, he had no idea where to start.
The previous prophecy at least had some hints, but this one offered nothing. How could he investigate?
"The one who causes all this, you will meet in the future. When you do, you must stop them. Now, go!"
The Great Toad Sage said this and then fell back into sleep.
Perhaps this was the 'price' he paid for the prophecy, needing to remain in a deep slumber for long periods.
Though they wanted to ask more, the Great Toad Sage had already fallen asleep, so they had no choice but to leave the temple.
After they came out:
"Jiraiya, do you think the Great Sage might have made a mistake?"
Shima still couldn't believe the prophecy.
"Shima, you know the Great Sage's prophecies have never been wrong. This time, we must find a way to prevent this disaster!"
Shima's tone was resolute.
As the elders of Mount Myoboku, they were the highest leaders when the Great Sage was in slumber. This was their home, their everything, and he would not allow anyone to destroy it.
"Boss, Big Sister, I'll figure out the cause and... deal with it!"
Jiraiya's tone was decisive.
As a shinobi, he had never lacked decisiveness; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the leader of the shinobi forces.
"Jiraiya, if you need anything, Mount Myoboku will support you!"
Shima encouraged and made a promise.
"Brat, call on us if you need us!"
Shima also understood that this wasn't the time to be stubborn and made a similar promise.
With their support, Jiraiya could summon all the toads of Mount Myoboku to battle.
Mount Myoboku had many powerful summoning beasts.
Not to mention Shima and Shima, two 'Sages' with the strength equivalent to Kage-level, who could harness natural energy, making them incredibly powerful.
"Thank you!"
Jiraiya nodded.
For the village, he would not hesitate, no matter who it was.
In this regard, Jiraiya, his teacher, and his students were all of the same mind.
If the village was threatened, whether by friend or family, they would not hesitate to act.
This was the virtue of the Hokage lineage!
As for outside the village... who cared? Even if everyone died, a few words of sympathy would suffice.
Yes, it was a double standard.
Just like Jiraiya, who felt that the tragic fate of Rain Country, turned into a battlefield by the great powers, did not justify revenge, no matter how righteous it seemed.
In other words:
We attack you: fine!
You attack us: not fine!
This was why Tangping truly believed the shinobi world's values were extremely twisted.
However, the girls' beauty was top-notch.
Thus, without Tangping knowing, he had already been targeted by Mount Myoboku.
At this moment, he had just returned to Konoha with his teammates.
For the mission report, since he was just a 'muscle,' it wasn't his responsibility to report. Nara Shikaku had already sent the report back via messenger hawk.
After parting ways with his teammates, he headed straight back to his clan's territory.
There were ways to bring back the items he needed.
This return to the village was a perfect opportunity to take a "vacation" and start developing the "Treasure Boy."
There were indeed many aspects of White Zetsu that could be exploited.
The village's willingness to grant him such a long leave wasn't due to compensating for his extended missions outside.
For the village, as long as you weren't dead, you were used to the fullest.
Many ninjas were stationed outside the village for years, even decades, with no chance of returning.
However, this leave was granted to give Shizuma Kurenai an opportunity to gain influence and power in Mount Kikyo.
Tang Ping accepted this arrangement with pleasure.
Did they really think he cherished that broken Ninja Corps?
If he had a choice, he would rather lie around all day, eating and waiting to die.
But after exposing himself during the graduation exam to save his life, he had no choice.
All of this was Danzo's fault!
Continuing to work in the Uchiha Clan's research had its advantages. The clan's territory was protected by barriers, making it impossible for the Byakugan or any long-range surveillance techniques to monitor it.
The Anbu and Root would be expelled immediately if they dared to come.
Fugaku Uchiha had just taken over, and the Uchiha Clan was not as weak as it would be in the future.
What Tang Ping couldn't stand was Fugaku Uchiha.
Damn!
He had wrecked the Uchiha Clan.
Choosing to go to war wasn't wrong, but the problem was that he lacked the capability. Sarutobi Hiruzen had sent him to the southeastern border, the front line against the Mist Village.
The Uchiha Clan excelled in Fire Release techniques!
The seaside was practically a death sentence for them.
The Mist Village's techniques could negate most of the Sharingan's advantages, significantly reducing their combat effectiveness.
The casualties were severe!
The Uchiha, known for their combat prowess, ended up with the same casualty rates as ordinary ninja clans, losing all their elite status.
They were also shortchanged in terms of compensation and supplies.
If Tang Ping were the Uchiha Clan leader, he would have strangled Fugaku long ago. He was a complete fool.
Oh, and the future filial son was also dragged into the war.
What a scene!
Unfortunately, Tang Ping wouldn't get to see it.
The main issue was the heavy losses suffered by the main branch of the clan, which included his fiancee's family.
With his subordinates suffering such heavy losses, it was no wonder he was angry at Fugaku Uchiha.
But now wasn't the time to confront him.
There would be plenty of entertainment in the future, and he could wait.
What kind of entertainment?
A lower-ranking clan member rising up against the leader!
Would it be entertaining if his fiancee, Yae Uchiha, dissatisfied with Fugaku's incompetence, openly opposed him as clan leader?
But to play such a game, he needed sufficient strength.
In the past, Tang Ping had no confidence in boosting Yae Uchiha's strength.
But now, with White Zetsu in his hands, things were different.
A certain future "white-eyed wolf" had such a powerful Mangekyo Sharingan, using it like a basic attack, all because of White Zetsu.
Now that the means were in his hands, he wouldn't use them so crudely.
While he couldn't guarantee that the naturally talented Yae Uchiha would unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan, boosting her eye power was entirely possible.
Combined with the previously given Golden Crow potion, giving Yae Uchiha the strength to challenge Fugaku Uchiha wasn't out of the question.
Even if they couldn't seize the clan leader position, they would have the power to stand on equal footing.
To see the "lower-ranking rising up" spectacle, Tang Ping's first step was to extract the elements from White Zetsu that could enhance the Sharingan.
He hadn't had the right to use the main branch's resources before.
But now, he did. At the very least, he could gather some experimental materials, including Sharingan eyes.
The results were extremely promising!
Tang Ping spent just a few days creating the first batch of the extract and found a test subject.
The subject, knowing he was an experiment, was not afraid but incredibly excited.
