Chapter – 766 A Trip to Mount Myōboku: Destiny?

Looking at the giant scroll spread out by the toad elder Fukasaku, the four children who were hit by the shock of failure of not being able to learn the Senjutsu of Mount Myōboku quickly recovered their spirits and eagerly looked at the scroll. Even Kiyomi was somewhat excited!

Fukasaku smiled at the kid's excitement, and pointed at Kiyomi "Let's start with you!"

"A…alright!" she nodded and quickly came by the scroll.

The other three didn't care too much that Kiyomi was the first candidate, and nervously looked at Kiyomi, they were four people, so it was kind of natural to take turns one by one.

As she approached Fukasaku, she looked at the scroll.

The contract scroll laid before her, its length is unknown, however, the width of the scroll was more than her total height, and on the scroll, a series of names were written in red color. It didn't take a genius to understand that all the names were written with blood. The first name seemed to be of someone named Hagoromo, Kiyomi didn't recognize him, however, the last two, whom she knew very well, were Jiraiya the Sannin, and Namikaze Minato the late Yondaime Hokage-sama.

While pointing at the empty space next to the name of Konoha's Yellow Flash, Fukasaku explained, "Write your name here with your blood."

Kiyomi nodded, "Okay." Then she bit her finger, and using her blood, she neatly wrote her name, and then stamped her hand stained with blood under the name.

Elder Fukasaku nodded lightly, and said, "Now… weave the hand sign in the order of 'Boar – Dog – Bird – Monkey – Ram' and then try to summon a toad… if you succeed, then you will pass the test, understand?"

Kiyomi nodded, "Yes!"

"Kiyomi, do your best!" encouraged Sasuke.

Kiyomi nodded, then she took a deep breath and gathered her chakra, after that she weaved the hand signs and slammed her hand on the ground as she shouted, 'Summoning Jutsu!'

"..."

All the kids looked around, but there was no change.

Fukasaku shook his head, "You failed."

Kiyomi sighed in disappointment, "I see." Then she turned around and returned back to her position.

Sasuke looked at his younger sister with a worried expression, and muttered, "Kiyomi…" He wasn't sure what to say, he too failed the last time so… he knows that it doesn't feel very good.

Kiyomi said with a smile, "It's okay Sasuke-onii-chan… I wasn't very interested in this summoning things anyway… so, it doesn't matter if I failed."

At this time, Fukasaku called out to Sasuke, "Next is your turn."

Kiyomi shook her head and said, "Sasuke-onii-chan… Fukasaku-sama is calling you… it's your turn… you should go. All the best!"

Sasuke nodded lightly, "Th-thank you!" and approached Fukasaku.

Elder Fukasaku explained the same things to him as he did to Kiyomi. Sasuke quickly under everything and weaved the hand signs, Boar – Dog – Bird – Monkey – Ram.

Different from Kiyomi, in Sasuke's turn, nothing didn't happen… instead, with a bang, white smoke surged.

Poof!

As the white smoke dissipated, everyone was shocked to find that Sasuke had disappeared and in his place, a very big toad was standing.

The overall size of the toad was as huge as Naruto's Garaga, his body was colored dark red. He carried a Tonto in one hand, a white plate-like shield in the other hand, and a long tobacco pipe in his mouth,

Kiyomi, Neji, and Hinata were taken aback as they saw the giant toad.

"Amazing!" the sound of Sasuke's exclaim reached their ears as they realized that Sasuke was standing on the head of the toad.

Neji, Hinata, and Kiyomi raised their heads and saw Sasuke standing on top of the giant toad.

The corners of Jiraiya's mouth twitched, as he muttered, "I didn't expect that Sasuke would be able to summon Gamabunta!"

That's correct, the toad that Sasuke summoned is none other than Gamabunta, the chief toad of Mount Myōboku.

Elder Fukasaku looked at Gamabunta and Sasuke, and thought to himself, "It seems his guess was correct.'

At this time, Gamabunta realized the situation, and yelled in displeasure, "Hey kid… stop shouting, you are hurting my ears!" then asked, "Who are you anyway?!"

Sasuke immediately stopped exclaiming, and while curbing the excitement in his heart, he politely introduced himself to Bunta, "I am Uchiha Sasuke, and I am the one who summoned you."

Gamabunta was surprised, 'A kid from the Uchiha Clan?' he looked at Fukasaku with a doubtful expression, who explained the situation to him.

Understanding the gist of the matter, Gamabunta nodded lightly, "Oh" then ordered in a strict tone, "Unless it's very urgent, don't summon me… understand boy?"

"Yes… I understand!" nodded Sasuke with a happy expression.

Although Gamabunta wasn't very polite to him, however, he seems to have accepted the summoning Contract. In other words, Sasuke has passed the test! Thinking of this, Sasuke excitedly waved his hands to Neji, Hinata, and Kiyomi, "Guys… I passed the test!"

"Great!" Neji and Hinata are also very excited. Not only are they happy that Sasuke is excited, but they are also full of expectation for their turns.

The fact that Sasuke passed the test means that this test is not like the previous test, it's somewhat easier and they have a chance of passing.

What's more important is that once they sign the summoning contract at Mount Myōboku, they will have a chance to come here once they grow older, and they will be able to train Senjutsu.

At this time, Fukasaku said to Gamabunta, "Bunta, go with Sasuke, and learn a bit about each other."

Gamabunta nodded, "Alright boss!" then leaped high into the sky.

"So strong!" Neji couldn't help but admire Gamabunta.

Thinking that he might soon have such a powerful summon, Neji was eager and wanted to immediately take the test. However, Neji didn't forget that Hinata was also with him and gave way to her.

Neji is aware of the conflict that happened a few days ago. He didn't want to do anything that might offend the elders of the main family, therefore, he took a step back and allowed Hinata to take the test before him, "Hinata-sama, you should go next."

Hinata shook her head, "No Neji-nii-san, you've been waiting for this for so long… you should be next."

While Neji and Hinata were busy making way for each other, Fukasaku came to the scroll and slowly rolled it.

Fukasaku's action not only surprised Neji, Hinata, and Kiyomi, but even Jiraiya was puzzled and asked, "Boss… why did you put away the scroll, these two kids are still left."

Elder Fukasaku explained with a regrettable expression, "Jiraiya-boy… have you forgotten the tradition of Mount Myōboku? We only accept one shinobi from a generation… since Uchiha Sasuke has passed the test, he has been accepted… so…"

"What?!" Neji and Hinata were stunned as they heard Fukasaku's words, and looked at Jiraiya, hoping that was not the case.

Jiraiya was stunned. Now that he thinks about it, Fukasaku was indeed telling the truth. Mount Myōboku really selects only one shinobi from a generation. His generation had only him, while Minato's generation had only Minato.

Seeing that even Jiraiya didn't deny Fukasaku's words, Neji was panicked, he desperately bowed to Fukasaku, and requested, "Fukasaku-sama… please give me a chance… this opportunity was given to me by my Sensei… I don't want to disappoint him!"

Fukasaku shook his head, "Child… there is nothing I can do… this is the tradition of Mount Myōboku."

"But!" Neji wanted to request once more… however, he was interrupted by Fukasaku, "Moreover, this is a matter of destiny… so even if you had the chance, the result wouldn't have changed."

"Destiny?!"
