Chapter 65: Arriving at Mount Myoboku

Jiraiya couldn't understand why the young man in front of him possessed so many mysterious and unpredictable Jutsus.

The Genjutsu displayed by Ryujiro was something he had never seen before, and he didn't even see the hand seals Ryujiro used during the Genjutsu.

Despite both of them being from the same village, there was something unsettling about Ryujiro that Jiraiya couldn't shake.

Jiraiya sighed silently in his heart.

It seemed like a genius like Ryujiro, residing in Konoha, was akin to a double-edged sword. If someone understood Ryujiro better, perhaps the current situation wouldn't be as it was.

Recalling everything that had just happened, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

It appeared that the Akatsuki had set their sights on Ryujiro.

Jiraiya had some knowledge of the Akatsuki; after all, Orochimaru had joined the organization after defecting.

During his investigation, Jiraiya had also discovered that the organization was far from simple.

Especially after encountering members of the Akatsuki, who were all S-ranked missing-nin from various major shinobi villages, it seemed like there might be some hidden conspiracy threatening the shinobi world.

What a headache!

First, the instability in the shinobi world, and now the emergence of a powerful organization of unknown origin.

And then there was this kid.

Jiraiya glanced at Ryujiro beside him.

Tsunade mentioned that this kid had awakened a Kekkei Genkai that could affect souls, but why did Jiraiya feel like it wasn't as simple as that?

Just being able to affect the soul Kekkei Genkai... What about that mysterious black substance? Was it some unregistered jutsu developed by Ryujiro?

Ryujiro harbored too many secrets.

The journey from Konoha to Mount Myoboku was still far. If they wanted to reach Mount Myoboku quickly, they would have to use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu.

If they used the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, as Ryujiro wasn't contracted with the toads, only Jiraiya alone could reach Mount Myoboku.

"Kid, I have a way to quickly reach Mount Myoboku, but it requires you to make contract with the toads of Mount Myoboku," Jiraiya said slowly, stopping in his tracks.

Quickly reach Mount Myoboku, with the Reverse Summoning Jutsu?

Ryujiro was aware of the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, but he wasn't particularly keen on contracting with the toads, to be honest.

He felt a bit uncomfortable with a creature like a toad.

Well, the journey to Mount Myoboku from here would still take more than ten days. It was just a matter of making a contract with the toads of Mount Myoboku.

After all, he didn't need the summoning Jutsu himself.

Ryujiro nodded.

Jiraiya's reason for wanting to use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu at this time was because the Akatsuki had already set their sights on them. 

There were many unstable factors along the way, so it was better to use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to travel to Mount Myoboku.

With a "bang," a plume of smoke rose, and a large scroll appeared in Jiraiya's hand.

"This is the summoning contract of Mount Myoboku. Once you sign the contract, you'll be able to summon the toads of Mount Myoboku," Jiraiya explained. 

"Of course, the Reverse Summoning Jutsu only works for the contracted individual."

Ryujiro glanced at the names on the contract.

Several names caught Ryujiro's attention: Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage.

Ryujiro then wrote his name on the contract.

Jiraiya clasped his hands together. Since Jiraiya himself didn't know the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, he needed to summon the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku.

In fact, Jiraiya couldn't activate Sage Mode on his own. He needed the power of the two Sage Toads of Mount Myoboku to enter Sage Mode.

With a "pop," two toads, one green and one purple, appeared on Jiraiya's shoulders.

Fukasaku and Shima had already gathered natural energy in Mount Myoboku upon sensing Jiraiya's call. And now, Jiraiya had already entered Sage Mode.

Initially, the two Sage Toads thought Jiraiya was in some danger, but upon seeing that there was no battle occurring in the vicinity, they relaxed slightly.

"Jiraiya, what did you summon us for?" Shima asked, looking displeased. Even though she found the young Jiraiya adorable, interrupting her cooking for her husband was unforgivable, even if it was Jiraiya.

Especially since it seemed like there was no urgent matter.

Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly and smiled, "I need to trouble you two with something."

Only when they heard that Jiraiya had something to discuss did the expressions of Fukasaku and Shima Improve slightly.

"Go on."

"I want you two to summon me and him to Mount Myoboku," Jiraiya said, gesturing towards Ryujiro.

Both Fukasaku and Shima glanced at Ryujiro in confusion.

"Is he the new name added to the summoning contract just now?" Fukasaku asked.

Jiraiya nodded.

Fukasaku leaned in close to Jiraiya and whispered, "Young Jiraiya, you should know the rules of Mount Myoboku. Even if he signed the contract, he can't be taken to Mount Myoboku at will."

How could Jiraiya not know this?

That was precisely why he summoned the two Sage Toads.

Seeing Jiraiya walk away, Ryujiro didn't pay much attention. He leaned against a tree, waiting leisurely.

Upon learning about Ryujiro from Jiraiya, the expressions of Fukasaku and Shima became serious. 

Although he was a shinobi of Konoha, the words spoken by Jiraiya gave them a strange feeling about Ryujiro.

Even though they were worried, there was no malice emanating from Ryujiro, and besides...

Young Jiraiya wouldn't have misjudged a person.

"Well then, Young Jiraiya, this time I'll grant your request, but it won't set a precedent," Fukasaku said solemnly.

Jiraiya nodded.

"Boy, your name is Ryujiro, right?" Fukasaku said with a smile.

Ryujiro nodded.

Once everything was prepared, Fukasaku took out a scroll.

Reverse Summoning Jutsu!

With a "pop," they all turned into smoke and disappeared.

The next moment, Jiraiya and Ryujiro arrived at Mount Myoboku. Instantly, Ryujiro felt the difference between Mount Myoboku and the outside world.

The abundant natural energy of Mount Myoboku startled Ryujiro, and his previously drowsy mind instantly sharpened.

"Ryujiro, welcome to Mount Myoboku."

Ryujiro furrowed his brows slightly at the peculiar plants of Mount Myoboku and the numerous toad statues scattered around.

It seemed he needed some time to get used to a place so full of toads everywhere.

"Before you practice Sage Mode, Jiraiya, take Ryujiro to meet the Great Toad Sage," Fukasaku instructed.

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised.

Did the Great Toad Sage already know they had arrived in Mount Myoboku?

Truly worthy of being a toad sage who had lived for thousands of years.

Jiraiya glanced at Ryujiro.

Ryujiro nodded silently, indicating he had no objections.

Guided by Fukasaku and Shima, Ryujiro followed them to meet a large orange toad wearing a necklace with a Buddhist bead.
