Chapter 36 - 36 (2/2)

Ryo was still curious about the Great Toad Sage. He wanted to meet him in the future as he was the only one of the great sage toads that he didn't meet.

”Speaking of Ojiji Sama, tell me, Jiraiya Chan. Did you find the child of the prophecy he told you about?” Fukasaku suddenly asked him.

”It's basically confirmed.” Jiraiya was so proud saying that.

”What prophecy?” Gamahira didn't hear about it yet.

”I'll tell you. The great toad sage gave me a prophecy about one of my disciples. He said he will bring great change to the world of ninja. This change being peace and stability or destruction is unknown.”

”That's really important. Even this one is a bit confused, Ojiji sama's prophecies are never wrong.” Gamahiro answered.

”Hiro Chan, How dare you to say that Gamahiro sama is confused?!” Fukasaku wasn't happy with his son's use of words.

After chatting a bit more, Ryo and Jiraiya left the place. They went to have dinner as they didn't want to eat insects along with the toads.

More than a month later, Ryo was practicing sage mode. Jiraya tagged along when Gamahiro came looking like he's in a hurry.

”Ryo, Ojiji Sama has had a prophecy about you.” Gamahiro said that while wiping his forehead.

”Really? Please take me to him” Gamahiro led the way while Ryo and Jiraya followed him to the Great Sage Toad. They stopped at an old house.

”Ryo Chan, Jiraya Chan, come on in! Don't make Ojiji Sama wait for you for too long.” Fukasaku's voice came from inside the house. Ryo entered right away.

”Hello Ogama Sennin. I'm Ryo Yamanaka!”

”Oh oh welcome!” The Great Sage Toad Gamamaru opened his eyes slightly looking at Ryo for a second.

”Now, I called you because… who are you again?” The same scene from the Manga was repeating itself. Despite the fact that Ryo was ready, he barely was able to hold his laughter.

”I'm Ryo Yamanaka, Ogama Sennin.”

”Yes, yes, it is Ryo. In my dream just now, you led a battle that determined the fate of all Ninjas.”

”Ogama Sennin, with whom did I lead it?” After waiting for a long time, without the Ogama sennin adding anything, Ryo could not help but ask.

”No, there have been many changes in the recent dreams. I can only see that you led the war.”

After leaving the house, Jiraya looked at Ryo. He leads the war deciding the fate of all Ninja? Who would even launch such a huge scale war?

”Hey, little devil! Fukasaku Sama's prophecies never fail. This made me even more interested in you. Since you'll be leading the war determining the faith of all ninja, I'll do my best to guide you.”

Believing the prophecies of the Great Sage Toad, Jiraiya also believed that Ryo will be the one carrying the will of fire. Since he is a Yamanaka, he'll certainly be on Konoha's side. Actually, this responsibility of making Ryo strong was something he felt from the beginning.

Ryo never believed in a pre-determined fate. Even in this dark world, with great power, everything can change.

Therefore, Jiraya's words did even more than the prophecy to make him happy.

”Then Jiraya San, please teach me a lot.” The Chace of being Jiraya's disciple would never be rejected by Ryo.

This is the Sensei of 2 Hokages, along with the leading figure of the strongest evil organization in Naruto.

Genjutsu aside, he can't get a better teacher. And this is, after all, Ryo's favorite character of all times. Now he gets to learn from him. He was so grateful for the prophecy of the Great Sage Toad.
