Chapter 31

A few days had passed, at this time Naruto and Jiraiya had left Konoha and went out for 3 years of training.

"When will you take me to Myoboku Mountain?" Naruto asked.

"Sigh* Okay okay, I'll take you there tomorrow." Jiraiya said with a sigh.

Naruto kept walking, smiling.

After a while, the two chose a place to camp for the night. Then they made their beds and ate, and then they went to sleep.

Naruto and Jiraiya had woken up early in the morning. After Jiraiya made several hand seals, a large scroll appeared in front of him. Words in many other languages ​​were written on the parchment.

"Come closer, put your hand on the scroll." Jiraiya said while gesturing for Naruto to come closer.

After Naruto approached, they both put their hands on the scroll. After a while, there was a dense explosion of smoke in their place. When the smoke cleared, they were both gone.

Mount Myoboku*

Naruto and Jiraiya appeared in a place with huge leaves.

"Come, I'll introduce you to the wise elder toad. He agreed to talk to you when I asked him." Jiraiya said before walking in one direction.

Naruto nodded and followed Jiraiya.

After walking for a while, the two finally entered a house made of mud.

They encountered a small old-looking toad sitting on the sofa when they entered the house. The toad had white hair, thick eyebrows, and a small goatee.

"Fukasaku-sama, we are here." Jiraiya said as he came in, looking at the elder toad.

"Oh? Jiraiya, welcome. We were about to eat food, let's eat together. Shima, put some more plates." Fukasaku said with a smile.

At that moment, another small toad with purple hair appeared from a room.

"Come sit down, I'll put a few extra plates on the table for you." Shima said friendly.

Naruto and Jiraiya were grimacing, looking at the various dishes made from insects on the table.

After they all ate together, they sat facing each other while drinking herbal tea. As for what Naruto ate for dinner… Some things are better kept a secret.

"So tell me, why did you want to talk to me?" Fukasaku asked while looking at Naruto.

"I have come to ask you to give me the key to Eight Trigrams Sealing." Naruto said calmly.

Jiraiya was not surprised because he had already learned from Naruto why he wanted to go to Myoboku Mountain.

After taking a sip of his tea, Fukasaku asked, "Then why do you want the key to the seal?"

After waiting and thinking for a while, Naruto decided to tell the truth, "To unseal Kyuubi."

Naruto finished speaking then both Jiraiya and the two elder toads were startled.

"Naruto, no! I can not allow this!" Jiraiya said angrily.

"Jiraiya, calm down. First, let's hear why Naruto wanted to unseal Kyuubi." Fukasaku said.

"I can't fully use its chakra while under that seal. By removing its seal, I will be able to use its chakra more easily." Naruto said.

Then he added with a grin, "What did you think? That I'll use it to raze Konoha to the ground?"

After everyone looked at Naruto for a while with strange looks, Fukasaku asked, "Jiraiya, do you think Naruto can control Kyuubi?"

Jiraiya put his hand to his chin and began to think. After thinking for a while, he replied, "I saw him use its chakra last time and he was quite conscious when using it. But about completely controlling Kyuubi… I'm not entirely sure about that."

Fukasaku closed his eyes for a while and thought, then said, "Then we can do it like this, using the key to loosen the seal a little bit. This way, we can get you to control Kyuubi with long but sure steps."

Naruto thought for a while about what to do. If he did, it would take a long time before he completely freed Kyuubi.

At that moment, a confused expression suddenly appeared on the faces of the two elder toads.

"Naruto, Great Toad Sage wants to talk to you. It will decide what to do with the key." Fukasaku said in surprise.

Hearing Fukasaku's words, Jiraiya and Naruto were also surprised.

"Does it want to talk to me? Does it understand what I am?" Naruto thought.

Everyone then quickly packed up and went to see the Great Toad Sage.

After walking for a while, they came to a huge structure resembling a temple. Then they opened the huge door and entered.

Naruto saw a huge toad sitting on a giant seat when he entered. Everyone could tell that the toad was old.

Everyone bowed to the Great Toad Sage as they entered. Naruto just tilted his head slightly. After all, he didn't have enough respect for the other person to bow down.

Great Toad Sage opened its eyes and looked at Naruto. It then turned its attention to Naruto's blue eyes.

"The probability of you being the child of the prophecy is quite high." Great Toad Sage said.

Jiraiya was taken aback by what he heard.

"Did I manage to find the child of the prophecy this time!? Now I must definitely take him as my disciple!" Jiraiya thought with ambition.

"But for some reason, I get a familiar feeling in you." Great Toad Sage said while examining Naruto more carefully beforehand.

Naruto released some of Shinju's presence with a grin on his face after hearing what it said.

"You are it! But how could it be?" Great Toad Sage asked, quite distinctly surprised.
