A few days ago...
Mt. Miaomu.
After Jiraiya stepped onto the platform, the Great Toad Sage seemed to have anticipated his arrival and showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, he appeared to have been fully prepared.
"Little Jiraiya, you've finally arrived..."
The Great Toad Immortal spoke slowly, his turbid eyes revealing a cold tone.
Jiraiya was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, then cautiously asked, "Great Toad Sage, did you anticipate my arrival?"
"Um."
"Now that you're here, do as I say and cleanse yourself for three days in the deep springs of Mount Myoboku."
"Three days of purification?"
Jiraiya was somewhat puzzled, but out of trust in Mount Myōboku, he didn't press for an answer and simply nodded in agreement.
Then, following the guidance of the hermits Fukasaku and Shima, he arrived at a secluded spring deep within Mount Myōboku.
The spring water was exceptionally clear, exuding a bone-chilling cold that involuntarily inspired a sense of awe.
"Little Jiraiya, you can just stay here quietly for three days."
The immortal Shenzuo solemnly instructed him.
Jiraiya nodded and stepped into the cold spring water without hesitation.
The spring water was icy cold, and Jiraiya's body trembled violently, instantly arousing his powerful endurance.
However, he soon realized that this spring was unusual.
In the bone-chilling cold of the spring water, a pure and unique natural energy slowly seeped into his body, as if gently and thoroughly cleansing every cell of his body.
Gradually, Jiraiya, who was originally full of doubts, calmed down and let the natural energy wash over him.
My previously anxious and chaotic thoughts gradually became clearer and calmer than ever before.
This continued for three consecutive days. By the end of the third day, Jiraiya finally slowly opened his eyes.
He felt an unprecedented clarity and ease, his whole being radiant, as if he had been reborn.
only.
My emotions seem to be a little too stable.
Upon returning to the temple where the Great Toad Sage resided, Jiraiya respectfully bowed and said, "Great Toad Sage, I'm back."
"Jiraiya, how are you feeling now?"
The immortal asked in a deep voice, his gaze revealing a hint of solemnity.
"It's amazing... I've never felt so clear and calm before."
Jiraiya answered honestly.
"Yes, there's one more thing."
Fukasaku stepped forward, gently smeared a small amount of clam oil with his fingertip, and quickly and steadily applied it to Jiraiya's eyes.
Instantly, Jiraiya felt a sharp pain in his eyes, spreading rapidly as if on fire.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a wave of nausea in his throat, and a mouthful of foul-smelling blood suddenly surged up, which he eventually couldn't help but vomit.
"This is."
Jiraiya's expression changed drastically as he stared in astonishment at the blood on the ground.
But then, a shocking scene unfolded...
The vomited blood quickly condensed into a filthy and eerie black substance, emanating a nauseating, chilling aura. The immortal's face darkened, and he swiftly formed hand seals and cast a spell, swiftly and precisely sealing the filthy substance completely.
"What exactly did I just vomit?"
Fukasaku sighed and slowly said, "Little Jiraiya, your mind and body have been corrupted by evil natural energy for a long time."
"We noticed something was wrong with you before, so we arranged for you to come to the spring to cleanse and wash."
"Purification and washing?"
"Are you saying I've been corrupted by evil natural energy?"
Fukasaku then explained, "You have been in contact with an extremely malevolent natural energy for a long time, and have been almost completely corrupted..."
"If we hadn't discovered you in time and arranged for you to undergo three days of cleansing in the spring waters of Mount Myoboku, your mind would probably have been completely corrupted and you would have fallen into the abyss of evil."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya's expression immediately turned grim: "This pollution of evil energy... could it be because of Uchiha Abe?"
Upon hearing the name, the two immortals remained silent for a moment before slowly shaking their heads.
"He may be involved, but it is more likely that someone is using the power of the Box of Elysium to extract and manipulate evil natural energy behind the scenes."
"The Box of Bliss?"
"Isn't this the Six Paths Era weapon that Shinnosuke took away a while ago?"
The sage Fukasaku sighed, "That's right. One of the true uses of the Box of Bliss is to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and transform it into even more insidious and bizarre negative energy."
"This kind of evil technique gradually disappeared from the ninja world after the era of the Sage of Six Paths, but I never expected it to reappear now."
The true purpose of the Box of Bliss is not simply to convert chakra energy...
As a strategic weapon left over from the era of the Sage of Six Paths, its true purpose is the cultivation of evil immortal techniques.
"The filth you just vomited is a product of this evil natural energy's erosion."
The Immortal of the Interdimensional Realm solemnly said...:
"To completely remove this pollution, we use the powerful natural energy of the Myoboku spring water to temporarily cut off some of your emotional senses, and even some of your physical senses."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya sensed something was amiss. He quickly tried to recall what had happened, but his expression suddenly changed drastically:
"Wait... why do I feel like I can't feel any inspiration anymore?"
I've even lost the desire to go to the public bathhouse...
Fukasaku looked at Jiraiya helplessly: "That's true. Cutting off emotions and senses also means that some of your desires and feelings are temporarily blocked."
"However, this is also so that you can fully recover your mind and avoid being contaminated by evil energy again. Next, you must rest in this state for a period of time."
Jiraiya was struck dumb, as if he had completely lost all joy and motivation in his life. His eyes were glazed over, and he muttered to himself:
"Have you lost your most important source of creative inspiration?"
The Immortal looked at Jiraiya with a serious expression, completely ignoring his emotions.
"Jiraiya, the ninja world is about to face an unprecedented crisis. During this time, you must concentrate on your training. Only by completely eliminating the pollution can you truly save yourself and this world."
After a brief moment of disappointment, Jiraiya quickly regained his composure. He frowned, swiftly realizing a more serious problem.
"No... if that's the case, doesn't that mean the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and even the entire ninja world, might have already been corrupted by evil natural energy?"
Upon hearing this, Mount Myōboku fell silent.
The immortals, Fukasaku and Ichima, exchanged a solemn glance.
Just then, the Great Toad Immortal spoke in a heavy and slow voice:
"That's right, Jiraiya... Currently, many places in Konoha, and even the entire ninja world, are indeed shrouded in this powerful and sinister natural energy."
The Great Toad Sage's voice, like a deep evening bell, lingered in Jiraiya's ears for a long time.
At this moment, the sage Fukasaku walked to the side of the great toad sage, exchanged a few words, and then spoke on behalf of the somewhat tired great toad sage.
"On the borders of small countries like the Land of Waterfalls, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Fields, large numbers of residents have been slaughtered and refined into the Box of Bliss, thus transforming into even more evil and concentrated negative natural energy."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was filled with even greater shock and his face turned extremely ugly.
"How could this happen?!"
"Shin-no-suke has already..."
Halfway through his sentence, Jiraiya's expression suddenly darkened...
He had a vague suspicion, but dared not doubt the truth.
The immortals of Mount Myōboku looked solemn, clearly knowing more about the inside story, but they deliberately remained silent.
This large-scale slaughter and transformation could not have been the work of a single individual, but rather driven by some kind of will.
If such a plan is linked to the Box of Bliss, Konoha Village would likely be held responsible.
The Great Toad Sage seemed to sense Jiraiya's inner turmoil and anger, but it did not offer any further explanation, instead simply gazing at him with a deep look.
Jiraiya made a quick decision in his mind, and said resolutely, "No, I must go back to the village immediately and find out what's going on!"
He had barely finished speaking, and was about to turn and leave, when he suddenly heard the Immortal behind him speak:
"Jiraiya, before you return to the village, why don't you go and invite Kakashi? The Great Sage... is very interested in this young ninja who inherited the perfect Sage Mode from Ryuchi Cave."
"Kakashi?!"
Jiraiya pondered for a moment, then turned and respectfully addressed the Great Toad Sage:
"I understand, Great Toad Sage. I will return to the village immediately and bring Kakashi to see you."
"The only thing you need to do when you go back to Konoha is invite Kakashi. Don't do anything else, understand...?"
"I see."
After saying that, Jiraiya turned and quickly left.
The Great Toad Sage watched Jiraiya's figure gradually disappear into the depths of Mount Myōboku, his eyes clouded with unease.
because.
It couldn't determine whether Jiraiya's return to Miyo was a blessing or a curse.
As the smoke from the Reverse Summoning Jutsu slowly dissipated, Jiraiya once again stood on the familiar Konoha grounds.
The moment he opened his eyes, a strong sense of unease surged into his heart!
During the three days of cleansing and purification at Mount Myoboku, his senses and body had already undergone tremendous changes.
At this moment, he could clearly sense an unusually large and gloomy evil energy permeating the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
This negative natural energy, like an invisible giant spider web, has long since completely covered and enveloped the entire village.
A gloomy atmosphere prevails.
Terrifying and eerie...
Even more sinister than the blood mist from before...
The villagers of Konoha continued to live peacefully, enjoying their daily lives without realizing it.
Even the vast majority of ordinary ninjas, because they are used to using only chakra for a long time, are completely unaware that they are being gradually eroded and corrupted.
This eerie sight weighed heavily on Jiraiya's heart, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on it, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"It's gotten this serious..."
In his eyes, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was no longer the warm and familiar village it once was...
It became unfamiliar and gloomy...
In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, the only one who might not have been corrupted by the evil energy and remains conscious...
Perhaps only Tsunade, who possesses the bloodline of the Senju clan, and Kakashi, who inherited the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave, could do it.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya's expression immediately became even more anxious and solemn.
With this in mind, Jiraiya flashed and sped towards the Senju clan's territory without hesitation.
For some reason, throughout the journey, the image of Orochimaru appeared most often in Jiraiya's mind.
He had a bad feeling...
This time, it's probably not related to Uchiha Gen... it was caused by other misdeeds in the village.
