Chapter 10 The Change of the Wheel of Destiny

"I'm 50 meters southeast, already in position!"

"Received, I'm at the station, ready to start at any time!"

"Very good, Orochimaru, listen to my orders, and then rush up together!

3...

2...

1

Charge!"

As Kagura said the last word of charge, two black shadows suddenly jumped out from the tree and rushed towards the target not far away.

"Meow~~~~~~~"

With a shrill cat cry, a huge black cat appeared in Kagura's arms.

The cat was still struggling, trying to get rid of Kagura's control.

Holding the cat's neck with his right hand, Kagura grabbed it in mid-air.

As if some kind of switch was turned on, the cat that was still struggling just now suddenly became quiet.

Carefully put the target in the cage that had been prepared long ago.

The four members of Team 7 breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Yes, they are carrying out the mission.

It has been three weeks since the assessment.

As Genin, they can already start to carry out the mission.

However, for novices like them, they can only receive D-level missions such as helping people find cats at this stage.

During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen occasionally came to lead them to do the mission together.

But more often, there were only four of them.

Whenever this happened, the other three would default to Kagura as the team leader to direct the execution plan of the mission.

Looking at the restless cat in the cage, Kagura stared at the communicator in his hand and was stunned.

Speaking of which, this world is really wonderful.

You say it is technologically backward, but it still has a short-distance communicator like this.

At least within a range of one thousand meters, the effect of this thing is impeccable.

But do you say it is technologically advanced? Let alone cars, there is not even a bicycle here.

No wonder all the ninjas here run so fast, it turns out they are all forced to do it...

Just when Kagura was thinking about it, Tsunade interrupted his thoughts.

"Okay, the target is captured.

Let's go back and hand in the task."

They were already used to Kagura's sudden daze when they were in the ninja school.

And this is why Tsunade always calls him a fool.

After returning to the task handing in place, after the original owner confirmed that they had indeed caught his lost pet, the three people's task was finally completed.

Looking at the old woman with thick powder on her face like a white wall, she was holding the poor cat and rubbing it.

A kind of pity rose in the hearts of the four people.

No wonder the cat wanted to escape...

Tsunade stretched her hands upwards and stretched lazily.

Kagura took a sneak peek at the side.

Hmm!

It is indeed a washboard.

Tsunade, who didn't know what Kagura was thinking, looked at the three and said:

"Today's mission is complete, and there's nothing to do next.

Why not...

Let's go to Kagura's house tonight for a party!"

Ever since they tried Kagura's cooking skills at his house, the three have shown enough initiative to go to Kagura for dinner.

There's no way, in this world where a bowl of ramen is a rare delicacy.

The cooking skills brought by Kagura, which comes from the ancient Chinese heritage, undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for them.

Hearing Tsunade's proposal, Orochimaru nodded silently in agreement.

Tsunade saw this and waved her hand directly, ready to lead everyone to the vegetable market.

Hey...

You don't plan to ask the opinions of the parties involved, right?

Kagura looked at the two helplessly and thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, Jiraiya, who was always very proactive at this time, said to everyone:

"Ah, I won't go this time.

I have something to do later, I'll leave first."

After saying that, he waved and left without waiting for others to react.

Looking at Jiraiya's back, Tsunade said strangely:

"What's wrong with Jiraiya recently?

Every time he finishes a task, he rushes to leave. I always feel that he seems to be very busy recently."

As if she thought of something, she clenched her fists, narrowed her eyes maliciously, and said in a strange tone:

"Is he going to the bathhouse to peek again..."

Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from Tsunade, Kagura and Orochimaru couldn't help but take a step back.

In fact, when everyone was still in the ninja school, Jiraiya once pulled Orochimaru to go to the women's bathhouse to peek together.

Unfortunately, Tsunade was in that bathhouse that time. Kagura only knew that Jiraiya had six broken ribs, both wrists fractured, and several internal organs ruptured by Tsunade.

The serious injury made him recuperate at home for nearly two months before he recovered.

Just as Tsunade raised her leg to follow, Kagura quickly opened her mouth to help Jiraiya explain:

"I know what he is going to do.

I heard that he asked Sarutobi about summoning after that day.

But when he tried to summon himself, he was summoned to a strange place in the opposite direction.

Recently, he has been going there every day to learn new ninjutsu and skills."

Kagura, who is familiar with the skills, naturally knows that the so-called strange place is Myoboku Mountain.

It can be said that it is an important turning point for Jiraiya to grow into the "Three Ninjas" in the future.

After hearing Kagura's explanation, Tsunade also stopped, looked back at Kagura and said puzzledly:

"You mean, Jiraiya has been busy practicing recently?"

Kagura nodded hurriedly.

It's strange to say, maybe it's because Kagura is familiar with the personalities of these three people, or maybe he really has a kind of affinity.

After the establishment of Team 7, Kagura became the one who had the best relationship with everyone.

Including Jiraiya's recent experience, he took the initiative to mention it to Kagura.

Hearing about Jiraiya's hard work in training, Tsunade looked confusedly in the direction of Jiraiya who had long gone away.

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

In Myoboku Mountain, a slightly stern voice sounded:

"Jiraiya, are you stupid?

You can't even learn such a basic ninjutsu as Fire Release: Flame Bullet."

Jiraiya was trying to puff up his cheeks on a flat ground, but after some preparation, he actually spit out a mouthful of black liquid similar to oil.

"Idiot, when you refine chakra into oil and spit it out, you have to use fire escape to ignite it!

Do you know what fire escape is!"

A voice of exasperation came from a boulder nearby, and the speaker was actually a toad that was jumping up and down.

Hearing this, Jiraiya in the field touched the back of his head with his hand in embarrassment.

Fortunately, at this time, another toad jumped in.

The new toad looked up at Jiraiya, and then said:

"Jiraiya, come with me.

Our great toad sage wants to see you."

Great toad sage?

Jiraiya was slightly stunned when he heard this title.

But he didn't say anything else, but followed the toad silently.

Since he came here by accident two weeks ago, after helping Wenta drive away a big snake.

In order to repay himself, these toads took the initiative to help him practice.

Although he was scolded a bit badly during the process, Jiraiya did feel that his strength had grown during this period of time.

So for this sudden invitation, he followed without any hesitation.

As the scenery on both sides continued to change, he came to a palace soon.

At the top of this magnificent palace, there was a particularly huge and very old-looking toad sitting.

The toad leading the way bowed respectfully to the top and said:

"Big Toad Sage, this is Jiraiya."

After saying that, it retreated on its own.

While Jiraiya was still observing the big toad sage sitting on the throne, the huge toad took the initiative to say:

"Are you the human who accidentally broke into Myoboku Mountain not long ago?"

Jiraiya didn't know what it meant, so he could only nod woodenly.

The Toad Sage looked him up and down, and said again:

"Well... it's the same human I saw in my dream.

You are the one chosen by fate."

In a dream? Chosen by fate?

Jiraiya was confused when he heard its words.

Seeing this, the Toad Sage explained:

"As the Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain, I have the ability to predict.

A long time ago, I once spied that a human boy would come to Myoboku Mountain.

And that person is you.

You will become an outstanding ninja in the future. When you are independent, you will start to travel around and write books. In the process, you will accept apprentices.

This apprentice will bring changes to the world. I wonder if this change will bring stability to the world...

Damn it!"

At this point, the Toad Sage, who had been squinting, suddenly opened his eyes vigorously.

Jiraiya, who was listening with relish and immersed in the future described, was startled by a sudden national quintessence.

He ignored Jiraiya who showed a strange expression below.

The Toad Immortal murmured in disbelief:

"Why...

I feel...

This is impossible!

The wheel of fortune has actually changed!"
