Chapter 471 The Disciple Dies, the Master Doesn't
Jiraiya kept emphasizing the urgency of the situation, so Shima had no choice but to take Jiraiya to the main hall of Mount Myōboku. Then, Shima jumped to the ear of the Great Toad Sage and woke him up from his deep sleep.
"Giant Toad Sage, Naruto is critically injured and on the verge of death, hurry up and give it to me..."
Jiraiya had barely opened his mouth, before he could finish speaking, when the Great Toad Sage, who had just opened his eyes, started snoring again.
There was nothing else Shima could do but wake him up one more time.
"The Great Toad Sage, Naruto, he..."
"Snoring—"
"..."
"Master Shima, why don't you try this?"
Jiraiya pulled out a senbon from behind his back.
"How dare you, Jiraiya! You want to hurt the Great Toad Sage?! You keep rambling on and on, not getting to the point, and now you blame the Great Toad Sage for not being awake long enough?"
Shima the Hermit was immediately enraged upon seeing this.
Before this, no one knew why the Great Toad Sage always liked to sleep.
But after the history of the ninja world was established, Shima Sage understood.
The Great Toad Sage made a grand prophecy, which backfired, forcing him to fall into a constant slumber.
This was a great sacrifice.
Even if the other toads of Mount Myōboku had to take care of the Great Toad Sage for hundreds or thousands of years, it would still be worth it.
"Alright, Master Shima, please wake up the Great Toad Master one last time."
Jiraiya had no choice but to settle for second best.
Since there's no way to prolong the Great Toad Sage's awakening time, the only option is to shorten his own speech, just like Shima Sage suggested.
"Naruto's dying! Give me the talisman!"
The moment Jiraiya saw the Great Toad Sage open his eyes, he shouted at the Great Toad Sage at top speed.
After Jiraiya finished shouting, he stared nervously at the giant toad sage, afraid that it would yawn and fall asleep again.
However, this time the Great Toad Sage seemed to have been disturbed by Jiraiya's voice and did not fall asleep immediately.
Instead, they turned their attention to Jiraiya below.
Just when Jiraiya thought he had succeeded, the Great Toad Sage slowly uttered, "What did you just say?"
fall!
Jiraiya collapsed in despair.
"Talisman, talisman... I don't know where you got this information, but I heard you have some kind of talisman that can bring the dead back to life. I want to ask you for one to save Naruto—by the way, what's wrong with Naruto?"
Shima the Sage helped Jiraiya repeat it to the Great Toad Sage.
"Oh Naruto, the child of prophecy, the boy who laughs wildly as he summons the nine tailed beasts..."
The giant toad immortal rolled his eyes and mumbled something indistinctly.
"what?"
Shima-sensei picked at his ears, wondering if he had misheard something.
Why does this feel a little different from what I said before?
"Great Toad Sage, talismans, talismans!"
Upon hearing the Great Toad Sage's reply, Jiraiya quickly sprang to his feet.
"A talisman..."
"right!"
"What is that?"
"...A piece of paper, a piece of paper imbued with Sage Chakra!"
"Oh, that's the one."
The Great Toad Sage seemed to have truly understood, and he reached behind him, pulled out a piece of paper, and threw it at Jiraiya.
"Great, the Great Toad Sage isn't completely senile yet."
Jiraiya jumped up excitedly, caught the "talisman," and carefully stuffed it into his pocket.
When Jiraiya landed on the ground and looked up, the Great Toad Sage had already fallen asleep again.
"Sleeping that much? I've heard Orochimaru and Tsunade mention that even the White Snake Sage and the slug couldn't sleep this much. Could it really be like in the novels?"
Jiraiya muttered to himself.
The novel says that the Great Toad Sage and the Sage of Six Paths had a secret relationship. Later, the Sage of Six Paths abandoned the Great Toad Sage and became obsessed with the Tailed Beasts.
To avenge the Sage of Six Paths for abandoning him, the Great Toad Sage prophesies that the Sage of Six Paths' son will be reincarnated and steal away the tailed beast he loves.
Originally, I didn't believe it either. After all, as a contractor of Mount Myōboku, I may have been relaxed on the surface, but I still respected the Great Toad Sage very much.
But now it feels more and more real?
It wasn't just the Great Toad Sage who changed, but also the ninja world.
"Forget it, I shouldn't think about it anymore. I need to go back and save Naruto first."
Jiraiya shook his head and used a summoning technique to return to Konoha.
As soon as he returned to Konoha, he heard a familiar roar—"Naruto Uzumaki, you're asking for death!!!"
Jiraiya felt a chill run down his spine, almost making Niao vomit two tears.
It took him a while to realize that Tsunade wasn't calling him.
Jiraiya shakily took the talisman out of his pocket.
He originally intended to rescue Naruto himself, but now it seems that if he dares to go, Naruto might not die, but he will definitely die.
Tsunade would definitely mistakenly believe that he instigated Naruto to come.
Although it was indeed he who instigated it.
But he really didn't make Naruto buy any extra items!
It's almost too late, what should I do?
Jiraiya's gaze swept around and he saw Team 8 reuniting with their teammates, and his eyes lit up.
"that."
Jiraiya descended from the sky and landed among the group, startling the three of them.
"Lord Jiraiya?"
Shino immediately recognized the person who had come.
"It is I, Your Excellency. I have an important and urgent task to entrust to you. I hope that you will put aside whatever you are currently doing."
This concerns Naruto's life or death.
Here, take this.
"Naruto is about to suffer a severe injury. This can save his life. I'm entrusting it to you."
Jiraiya took out a talisman.
The three looked at each other in bewilderment.
In the end, it was Kiba Inuzuka, with the most flamboyant personality, who accepted the challenge.
"Lord Jiraiya, why didn't you go and save Naruto yourself? And what happened to Naruto? Why is he dying so fast?"
Kiba Inuzuka looked puzzled.
His problem is also Shino and Hinata's problem.
"I still have to go and save the ninjas in other villages. I can't side with Naruto just because he's my student."
Jiraiya raised his neck, his expression one of selflessness and righteous indignation.
Then, without even appreciating or enjoying the admiring gazes of his juniors, he left without looking back.
This time, Jiraiya really ran away.
He knew that if Team 8 went to rescue Naruto, they would definitely succeed, but Tsunade would be curious about where the talismans in their hands came from.
If they are questioned again and confess, Tsunade will still suspect him.
If he didn't run away, Tsunade could have Hinata use her Byakugan to search, Shino use his insects to search, and Kiba use Akamaru to smell him. He would have been exposed the moment he started peeking from the side.
In order to save his own life, Jiraiya had no choice but to flee Konoha.
As for the widespread adoption of Sage Mode, that really can only be left to Naruto.
Hopefully, Naruto can rise from the ashes after enduring the first wave of heavy blows.
