Chapter 189: Toad Mountain's Ninja Techniques [57]
"You've had a long journey."
Feng Ye offered a slight smile.
Compared to the rude and boorish dragons of Dragon Cave, the toads of Toad Mountain were a much more polite bunch.
Feng Ye wondered if the Great Toad Sage, a rare being capable of perceiving the power of time in the ninja world, had sensed his arrival and sent Gama Sennin to greet him, or if his visit was foretold in one of the sage's prophecies.
"You were using Dragon Cave's ninjutsu earlier, weren't you?" Gama Sennin asked, hopping along in front as he led Feng Ye down a grand avenue that wound through Toad Mountain.
Feng Ye had used Dragon Cave's ninjutsu to navigate the maze surrounding Toad Mountain, and Gama Sennin, who had been waiting here, had sensed this.
"Mhm," Feng Ye acknowledged calmly.
Gama Sennin laughed heartily. "So, you've learned the ninjutsu of Dragon Cave, and yet you've come to Toad Mountain. Are you dissatisfied with their ninjutsu and seeking ours instead?"
There was no love lost between Toad Mountain and Dragon Cave; their enmity ran deep, and they would brawl on sight.
But rather than being displeased by Feng Ye's association with Dragon Cave, Gama Sennin seemed delighted. Evidently, he took Feng Ye's presence here as a sign of dissatisfaction with Dragon Cave's ninjutsu, which pleased him immensely.
"Indeed, I'm not very satisfied," Feng Ye agreed, glancing at Gama Sennin.
This was no lie; he was less than impressed by Dragon Cave's ninjutsu.
"You're absolutely right..." Gama Sennin nodded vigorously, his smile widening. "Their ninjutsu is pitiful and amounts to nothing. Their understanding of natural energy is a mess."
After a while, Gama Sennin led Feng Ye deep into Toad Mountain.
There, the Great Toad Sage awaited, sitting atop a massive cushion. Adorned with a doctoral hat and a necklace, the sage opened his eyes as Gama Sennin escorted Feng Ye into his presence.
"So, you've arrived..." The Great Toad Sage mused, his eyes narrowing as he studied Feng Ye intently. "In recent years, my prophecies have consistently failed. Whenever I dream of a certain existence, my visions shatter, and I'm left with no information about that being..."
Hearing the Great Toad Sage's words, Lin turned to Feng Ye, her eyes wide with surprise.
She had heard of prophecies, and while most were baseless nonsense, she believed that those spoken by the Great Toad Sage of Toad Mountain held truth.
The fact that Feng Ye could interfere with the sage's prophecies piqued her curiosity immensely. She had never known Feng Ye to possess prophetic abilities.
"My abilities interfere with prophecies?" Feng Ye tilted his head, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
While he was mildly surprised to learn this from the Great Toad Sage, he wasn't entirely caught off guard. After all, the sage's ability to foresee snippets of the future paled in comparison to the power of the Ethereal Clock, which controlled time itself.
Any contact with him, and by extension, the Ethereal Clock, would naturally disrupt prophecies.
"It would seem so," the Great Toad Sage murmured sleepily. "You must possess some unique power that interferes with my prophecies, or perhaps it's something that will occur in the future... Regardless, for the past few years, my prophetic abilities have been completely ineffective, and I've been unable to discern the future of this world."
While the Great Toad Sage didn't understand the reason behind this phenomenon, he was certain of one thing: Feng Ye was no ordinary human ninja.
For even the Sage of the Six Paths was incapable of interfering with his prophecies.
"The sage jutsu of Mount Myoboku," Feng Ye replied directly.
"Oh..." the Great Toad Sage's voice trailed off, becoming even softer. "To be able to pass through the maze outside Mount Myoboku is already a testament. Little Deep, give him the methods to cultivate the Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku..."
Huurgh! Huurgh!!
The Great Toad Sage's head drooped, and it fell asleep right there, sitting upright.
Gama Shinobu: "..."
A row of black lines appeared on Gama Shinobu's head, and it sighed helplessly. Turning to Feng Ye, it said, "The Great Sage is getting on in years and tends to fall asleep like this. Follow me, please."
Gama Shinobu then led Feng Ye to a particular spot, where it retrieved a scroll detailing the cultivation method for Sage Mode and handed it to Feng Ye. It then escorted Feng Ye to a place where he could cultivate Sage Mode.
As soon as Gama Shinobu left...
The Great Toad Sage lifted its head and opened its eyes again.
"That guy..."
"...has a very terrifying power..."
A glint of fear flashed in its cloudy eyes. Up close, the feeling it got from Feng Ye was even more frightening than that of the Sage of the Six Paths.
Just like Kaguya Otsutsuki...
That power didn't belong in this world...
The Great Toad Sage muttered to itself, "Another outsider? But it seems like Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't come from the same place... It feels completely different..."
Regardless.
This person must not be provoked.
It couldn't discern which of the two, Feng Ye or Kaguya Otsutsuki, was more terrifying. In its perception, they were both equally indescribably frightening.
...
Five days later.
By the toad oil pond on Mount Myoboku.
Feng Ye, who had been meditating there, suddenly opened his eyes, his face bearing slight signs of frog-like transformations, reminiscent of Jiraiya's state when using Sage Mode.
"Perfect Sage Mode is indeed not that simple, huh... But this initial success is good enough for now."
Feng Ye murmured to himself as he gazed at his reflection in the toad oil pond.
At that moment.
Gama Shinobu and Gama Shimon, the two great toads, who had been catching insects in Mount Myoboku to prepare ingredients for dinner, both paused simultaneously and looked in Feng Ye's direction.
"Sage Mode!"
Since Feng Ye had already mastered the sage jutsu of Dragon Cave and had a sufficient understanding of natural energy, cultivating the sage jutsu of Mount Myoboku was not particularly dangerous, and success was only a matter of time, even without their guidance.
However, what shocked both Shinobu and Shimon was the amount of time Feng Ye took to cultivate.
Five days!
It had only been five days, and he had already achieved Sage Mode!
"Five days to achieve Sage Mode... Old hag, wasn't the fastest record something over a month?"
"I can't quite remember, but it was at least over a month."
Gama Shimon spoke slowly.
Shinobu and Shimon exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock reflected in the other's eyes.
No wonder the Great Toad Sage paid so much attention to this human ninja and even gave them a direct order to fulfill Feng Ye's requests as much as possible.
That ninja...
was a monster!
