In the ninja world, there are three major holy places, namely Miaomu Mountain, Ryūchi Cave and Shigu Forest.
It can be seen from the names that these three places are extraordinary, but unfortunately... all those who can enter are those who have a great chance.
In this regard, Jiraiya has a lot to say.
When he was young, he was dull in nature and playful and lustful. Even among the "crane tail" in the past dynasties, he was able to stand out and rank among the best.
But it was such a being who one day used counter-spiritual magic and accidentally came to Miaomu Mountain, and then started a legendary life.
This shows the magic of the three holy places.
Myoboku Mountain, one of the three holy places, is located far away from human habitation. It takes a month to reach it from Konoha, and it is impossible to enter without mastering a special method.
Therefore, there are no humans here, far away from cruel disputes, and everything here forms a normal food chain.
On the huge lotus leaves, many toads are lying comfortably on them. The sky and lake look like they have been rendered in orange and have not been ravaged by war, making them full of life and making them feel like a paradise.
In front of a small waterfall, the roaring sound is endless. The water falls down, splashing layers of yellow water. What flows is not water, but the secret toad oil of Miaomu Mountain, which can be used to assist in practice. Magic.
On the shore, there are many giant toad stone statues piled neatly.
That was not a sculptured stone statue, but a ninja who had failed to practice celestial arts and turned into a stone statue. It was placed here to remind those who came after him of the risks of practicing celestial arts.
But the fairy magic system has survived for a long time, and the toads have also found unique solutions.
A black stick with special patterns can expel the natural energy required to form magical energy from the body.
Snapped!
In front of the waterfall, Jiraiya, who was meditating with his eyes closed, let out a low voice, touched his head and said in pain: "Failed again."
Fukasaku Sage, wearing a gray cloak, crossed his arms and held a stick in his hand, swinging it up and down. He looked at Jiraiya and said helplessly: "Don't worry, senjutsu is not so easy to master. Your progress is actually It’s already very fast.”
"Really?"
"of course not!"
Fukasaku Sennin rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I hit you so hard that my hand was almost dislocated, but you didn't make any progress at all and were still stuck in the first stage. I have never seen such a stupid person. You can't use snacks. You have to Just make me mad?"
Jiraiya curled his lips and said, "It's not entirely my fault. My stomach is growling. I can't concentrate even if I want to."
"Is the food cooked by the child's mother so delicious? I have been eating it for hundreds of years and I still don't get tired of it at all."
"That's because Fukasaku-sama, you haven't seen the world, and you stay in Mt. Myoboku all day without going out..." Jiraiya turned to the giant toad not far away who was holding a bottle and blowing wildly, and asked: "Bunta, I said That’s right?”
Bunta wiped the corners of his mouth, put down the wine bottle, and said with a look of approval: "That's right, if nothing else, just this wine that Jiraiya brought... tsk tsk, it smells so good!
If you don't go out yourself, you won't let me go out. "
Fukasaku wrinkled his gray eyebrows and said angrily: "What are you doing out there? You have been practicing bad habits since you were young, including smoking and drinking... Look at you, is there any trace of Toad Sage in your body
I told you a long time ago, don't learn bad things from little Zilai, but you just don't listen. "
Jiraiya suddenly became anxious, stood up and stamped his feet: "Lord Fukasaku, I don't like to hear what you are saying. I am the one who led the co-author of the article?"
"Isn't it?"
"What's wrong?! I don't drink or smoke... Why should I accuse someone of innocence?"
"What about looking for a beautiful ***** for Wentai?"
Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, touched his white hair, and explained: "I was just thinking that Bunta was too old and could remediate his knowledge blind spots.
As for me, I happen to be experienced in this area, so it’s okay to give him some guidance, right? "
"He's still a kid!"
Jiraiya looked at Bunta, who was already seven or eight meters tall, and was speechless.
Whose child is so big
As if sensing his inner slander, Fukasaku Sennin snorted coldly and said, "Don't compare yourself to a toad by human standards. According to her age, Bunta is still in adolescence, but she just developed a little early..."
“…”
"Okay, don't argue." Shima Sennin came over with a lunch box.
"Little Jiraiya, the child's father is coming for dinner soon."
Fukasaku Sennin snorted, put down the black stick, took the bowl and chopsticks, and finished a bowl in a few mouthfuls. He gave it back to Shima and said with a smile: "My dear, one more bowl and another bowl."
Seeing this, Jiraiya quickly handed over his rice bowl and said with a grimace, "Master Fukasaku, you should eat from me..."
"Didn't you just say you were hungry?"
"Really, Jiraiya-chan?"
Facing Shima's suspicious gaze, Jiraiya said bravely: "It's okay. I'm actually not hungry at all. I just made an excuse for myself to be lazy."
Shima Sennin sighed, "I know little Jiraiya that you don't like to eat what I cook, but it doesn't matter..."
As she said that, she took out another bowl from the lunch box and said with a grin: "I went to humans to learn cooking skills. These are new dishes I specially prepared for you. You can try them."
Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "Thank you so much. What kind of dishes are there?"
"Charcoal grilled chili peppers, braised millipedes, braised centipedes..."
"... Well, my stomach doesn't feel right. I need to go to the toilet. You guys eat first."
After saying that, Jiraiya covered his mouth and ran towards the toilet.
Fukasaku Sennin had a regretful expression on Jiraiya's face, then turned to Shima and smiled: "Damn it, Jiraiya, just give it to me. With your skills, it would be a pity not to be a cook. If you open a small restaurant in Konoha from now on, your business will definitely be prosperous."
"Is that so? From now on, let little Jiraiya be my taster, haha..."
Jiraiya stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
…
…
Although Jiraiya resisted in every possible way, under Shima's supervision, he still finished the insect feast honestly.
After taking a short rest, he continued to sit cross-legged on the ground and absorb the natural energy.
It is very simple to balance physical energy and mental energy, that is the chakra required for ninjutsu.
However, with the addition of natural energy, it is very difficult to maintain the balance between the three and create chakra.
If you have less natural energy, you will not be able to create senjutsu chakra. If you have too much natural energy, you will turn into a toad. At this time, you will be hit by Fukasaku.
How difficult it is can be seen by looking at the number of toad statues around.
But even so, Jiraiya was not ready to give up.
In the past two years of traveling, he has felt that his strength is growing slower and slower.
This is a common ceiling.
In other words, if he continues step by step, his combat experience and ninjutsu ability may improve as he gets older, but this improvement will only support him to barely reach the Kage level at most, and no more.
He couldn't possibly become the best in the ninja world.
If you want to break through, apart from bloodline, you have to cheat.
Naturally, there is no bloodline. Jiraiya was born a commoner and had much more chakra than the average ninja. He was already smoking on his ancestral grave.
He is also gifted with talent.
Not to mention Tatsu who became a Jonin at the age of eleven, even compared to his apprentice Minato and his good friend Orochimaru, he was far inferior.
What to do
Can only cheat.
It just so happens that he has the most powerful cheat magic in his hand.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the power of senjutsu. Just the process of learning can strengthen the control of chakra and the use of ninjutsu. Therefore, even if you cannot learn it, it will only be good for you, and there will be no harm.
not to mention…
"Is there anything I, Master Jiraiya, can't learn?"
puff.
A slight voice sounded, and Jiraiya's face suddenly swelled up, showing obvious signs of turning into a toad.
Snapped!
Fukasaku Sennin landed the stick on Jiraiya's head without hesitation.
"concentrate!."
"Okay." Jiraiya sighed, silently adjusted his sitting posture, and felt the natural energy outside again.
Just then, a little toad jumped over and shouted:
"Lord Fukasaku, the Great Toad Sennin has woken up and wants to call Jiraiya to come over."
Fukasaku was surprised when he heard this. The old man would wake up at this time. Could it be that he was dreaming about the future again
"Little Jiraiya, stop and follow me to see the old master."
Jiraiya opened his eyes, nodded, and asked, "Toad Sage...is it another prophecy?"
"It's possible." Fukasaku nodded slightly, "Stop practicing and come with me."
After saying that, he jumped off the platform and climbed down the steps.
