The air in the valley is filled with moisture, and the various plants growing in the valley appear larger than the outside world.

And even in the cold winter, everything still has not withered, the grass and trees are green, bursting with vitality.

Next to the oil pool where toad oil is stored, a huge stone toad statue crashed down with a crash, causing the ground to shake. The shirtless Naruto wiped the sweat from his face while breathing heavily.

Looking at the huge toad statue that was lifted up by him and then hit hard at the designated location, Naruto couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his sweaty face.

After celebrating the New Year in Konoha, due to the village's order, he came to Mt. Miaomu to continue learning the use of senjutsu.

The reason given is that now is the critical period of the war. As a Jinchuriki, he cannot be called safe even if he stays in Konoha Village.

As a large number of ninjas from the village were mobilized, the jonins also performed their duties. A Jinchūriki who was unable to form the main combat force would seriously distract the village's strength at this time. In view of this, it would be difficult to send him to Mt. Myoboku.

A place invaded by foreign enemies is the best choice.

As one of the three holy places for psychic beasts, Mt. Myoboku still stands in the ninja world and has survived for thousands of years, which proves that the strength of this holy place is by no means as simple as imagined.

Coupled with the special care given to Naruto by the leader of Mt. Myoboku, the Great Toad Sage, he would naturally not refuse Konoha's request.

In other words, the sooner Naruto masters senjutsu, the more urgent it is for Miaomu Mountain.

Although the reasons are quite complicated, for Naruto, if he can quickly increase his strength, there is no reason to object.

What's more, Miaomu Mountain is indeed more suitable for cultivation than other places. The high concentration of natural energy active in the air makes it easier to complete the introductory cultivation of natural energy than the outside world.

If Naruto wants to quickly complete the celestial art, Miaomu Mountain is undoubtedly the best choice.

"We have completed ten laps, little Naruto, you should take a rest."

Fukasaku Sage jumped over and saw the toad statue landing on it accurately, and nodded to Naruto.

Although the toad statue that Naruto was holding was only average in size among the surrounding stone statues, at an entry-level level, he could hold such a heavy stone statue and walk ten times around the open space in front of the oil pond...

...This resilience makes Jiraiya much more focused and serious than when he first dabbled in senjutsu.

Thinking of this, Fukasaku Sennin couldn't help but feel regretful.

Originally, Jiraiya, a student, had the opportunity to enter the sage mode on his own. Unfortunately, when he was practicing senjutsu when he was young, he was too unfocused and easily disturbed by external factors. As a result, now in his fifties, he is still poor at senjutsu.

Half-assed.

Although this kind of half-baked senjutsu is very impressive for a human being, as a teacher who teaches Jiraiya senjutsu, he naturally hopes that Jiraiya can keep improving on this basis.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have to drag him out to fight with him every time we encounter a strong enemy that is difficult to defeat.

In comparison, Naruto's basic conditions are all better than Jiraiya's.

With strong physical strength and vitality, he possesses a large amount of chakra, and he always concentrates on practicing and devotes himself to it. Fukasaku Sennin can't help but sigh, he is worthy of the 'son of prophecy' in the mouth of the great master. If things go on for a long time, maybe he will be able to

He is the most outstanding descendant of Mount Myoboku, far more than a half-assed person like Jiraiya...

Naruto gasped, sitting on the ground imagelessly, letting his pants be stained with mud.

"I have just started to gain such tremendous strength. Natural energy is such a wonderful power, Grandpa Immortal. I now feel as if I have been reborn."

Naruto looked at the dirty palms of his hands, stretched them slightly and clenched them, and had an intuition that he could smash the earth apart with one punch.

Every factor in his body seemed to be cheering for joy, making him feel an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Naruto knew that this was a powerful force that brought joy and security!

With this power, he is qualified to chase Zuosuke and Kakashi and bring them back to Konoha.

Fukasaku Sage looked at Naruto with approval. As a sage who has lived for eight hundred years, he knew Naruto's mentality at the moment very well.

The change in mentality caused by gaining great power is something that every strong person will inevitably experience in the process of growing up.

This is the foundation for building self-confidence.

Naruto was undergoing transformation at this time. Given time, Fukasaku Sage was not 100% sure whether he could become the prophesied son that Toad Senshi said would lead the ninja world, but he could definitely become a famous ninja.

"Little Naruto, you just need to remember this feeling now. With the learning progress you have shown, it will be a matter of time for you to fully master Xianjutsu. There are not many steps left to further improve the nature.

After using the energy, you can try to practice the magic of immortality. Once you learn the magic of immortality, you will have a different understanding of power."

Fukasaku Sennin said with a smile.

"I understand, Grandpa Immortal, I will also devote 200% of my energy to practice seriously!"

Naruto clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with strong fighting spirit.

Fukasaku Sennin smiled and said nothing. Although the contact time was not long, only a little over a month, it was enough for him to have a deep understanding of Naruto.

At this time, a summoning frog jumped over from a distance and came to Fukasaku Sennin.

"Elder, the great master has asked you and Naruto to come over."

"I know, I'll come right away."

Fukasaku Sage nodded, then looked at Naruto:

"Little Naruto, let's stop practicing for now. The elder seems to have new arrangements."

"Big Toad Immortal?"

Naruto blinked in confusion.

During the days of training at Miaomu Mountain, he had seen the Great Toad Immortal only a handful of times.

But every time I meet, I have a wonderful feeling that I have met the Great Toad Immortal, as if I know him well somewhere.

However, according to Fukasaku Sennin, the Great Toad Sennin is the founder of Mt. Myoboku, an ancient sage who existed in the world a thousand years ago.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for me to be a familiar acquaintance of the other person.

This is where Naruto felt incredible.

Is it because of the ‘prophecy’?

Did you come into contact with the Great Toad Immortal in his dream?

No matter what, Naruto believed that the Great Toad Sage was an incredible being that transcended common sense.

After taking a short rest, Fukasaku Sennin took Naruto to the temple deep inside...

Numerous toad guards monitor all directions 24 hours a day. Without the leadership of the elders, even the brave and capable giant toads in Miaomu Mountain are not qualified to visit the Great Toad Immortal, and will be mercilessly expelled by these guards.

The only ones who can freely enter and leave such a place are the two immortals and Naruto, the son of the prophecy of Mount Miaomu.

"Well, Grandpa Immortal, I have always wanted to ask. There are so many large toads here. The ones I have seen are no less than ten. I thought that large toads like Big Toad have always been rare. There are also gatekeepers.

That Iwajuku Toad feels like a mountain is walking on it.”

On the way to the temple hall, Naruto looked around and saw no one there, so he quietly spoke to Fukasaku Sennin.

Fukasaku Sage smiled and said: "This is the accumulated heritage of Myoboku Mountain over the years, just like the Konoha Village where you are. When the village was first established, there were very few jounin as the backbone, but as time went by, the jounin

The number of toads will continue to increase. Miaomu Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years. Although most of the toads died over time and were buried in the mausoleums on the mountain behind the temple, there are also some that were left behind hundreds of years ago and are still alive today.

.”

Hundreds of years... The corner of Naruto's mouth twitched.

I always feel that Miaomushan's concept of time is not on the same level as human beings' concept of time.

Even he could not imagine what it would be like to survive for hundreds of years.

And it's not just large toads, there are also some very small toads in Mount Myoki that have special abilities.

For example, there are toads that can fly, toads that can use barrier spells, toads that have the ability to sense, and toads that have the ability to seal.

The derivatives of abilities are so bizarre that it is dizzying to see.

According to Fukasaku Sennin, the strength of these toads with special abilities is not necessarily inferior to that of large toads, the only difference is their destructive power.

Among them, the most powerful are those large toads with special abilities. Whether it is destructive power or ability characteristics, once the two are superimposed on each other, their combat effectiveness will show a straight upward trend.

The outstanding one among them is the Iwajuku giant toad of Mt. Myouki.

It is extremely huge and feeds on giant beasts every day.

Even the intestines inside are like a maze, which can accommodate a group of ninjas fighting in it without appearing crowded or clogged.

It is said that it was caused by an extremely powerful barrier technique.

This shows that this huge rock toad is a giant toad with the ability to form barriers.

There are many similar toads.

The deeper he went, the more Naruto felt that Miaomu Mountain was full of incredible places.

This may be the true power of the Holy Land.

In his wild thoughts, Naruto followed Fukasaku Sennin to the temple hall.

In the palace, as expected, Fukasaku Sennin's wife Shima Sennin is also here.

"You two are finally here. How's it going, little Naruto, are you used to living in Mt. Myoboku?"

Shima Sennin jumped up and asked.

"You're almost used to it."

Except for food. Naruto added this sentence in his mind...
