Chapter 398 Jiraiya, the Lord of the Fairyland!
The moment Naruto finished speaking, Jiraiya's body suddenly began to fluctuate.
It seems to have a special resonance with the entire Myoboku Mountain.
At the same time, Jiraiya's eyes turned into the pupils of a toad.
Powerful natural energy began to gather into Jiraiya's body from the surroundings.
"Kakaka..."
In just a few breaths, Jiraiya's body began to partially turn to petrification.
At this time, Jiraiya just stared at Naruto in shock and surprise without saying a word.
He hasn't even perfectly mastered the Sage Mode of Myoboku Mountain, so how could such a change suddenly occur?
The clothes on the body began to be torn by the growing flesh.
After a few more breaths, Jiraiya completely turned into a stone sculpture.
"Don't move little Jiraiya."
The surrounding toads all felt the fluctuation of natural energy here and quickly gathered together.
When Bunta saw that Jiraiya had turned into a stone sculpture, he subconsciously wanted to reach out to check on Jiraiya's condition.
But he was stopped by a loud shout.
"Old man, little Jiraiya…"
"Yes."
"He...has already been recognized by Myobokusan."
Before Shima could finish his words, Fukasaku responded with approval.
For a moment, all the toads and Naruto present were silent.
"Choose Jiraiya."
“Why?!”
Kyuubi's brain was totally insufficient at this moment.
In fact, Kyuubi felt that he had lost his brain.
Things like this seem weird no matter how you look at them.
A human being.
Became the lord of the fairyland.
Moreover, it has also been recognized by the Immortal Land...
"Because no matter which toad you choose, that guy will be resurrected."
"And the only people who can be recognized by the fairyland here are those who have signed a contract with the fairyland."
"Although there are several ninjas who have signed contracts with Myobokusan, but..."
"Among these people, Lord Jiraiya is the most suitable and has enough endurance."
"You can feel the vitality here... and the resentment!"
Naruto gave the reason.
When Naruto felt the malice emanating from the stone statue, he was certain of one thing.
The big toad immortal faked his death!
Or maybe he didn't die completely, but left behind some means.
Even if it is death...it is only physical death.
The relationship between the Great Toad Sage and Otsutsuki Hagoromo back then, if this guy had to take sides.
Naruto had every reason to suspect that this guy would stand by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's side.
Moreover, if no malicious emotion is perceived from the other party.
Naruto actually didn't mind helping him complete this rebirth.
But now... leave it to Jiraiya.
"Are you saying that the death of the Lord of the Fairyland was intended to plot against you?"
Kyuubi was a little dumbfounded.
Such a calculating method... Big Toad, is he a fool? !
He actually used his own life and death to plot against someone who didn't trust him at all.
If he was plotting against Jiraiya, then Jiraiya would definitely do what he wanted.
But... Naruto...
"No!"
"He is not dead, he just left the fairyland..."
"Of course, the physical body is dead."
"So, the mystery of the fairyland is gone."
Naruto spoke playfully.
Sister Xiling did say that.
If the lord of the fairyland dies, the fairyland will collapse.
And since the fairyland has not collapsed, it means that the big toad immortal is not dead.
But not dying and being able to continue to control the fairyland are two different things.
Since he wants to plot, then let him plot carefully.
……
As time passed, all the toads lay on the ground with their heads facing Jiraiya.
Even Shima and Fukasaku are in the same state.
Naruto looked at the scene in front of him calmly.
This time is a bit too long...
According to the time outside, about two days have passed.
Jiraiya's aura was becoming weaker and weaker.
even……
If Naruto hadn't sensed it carefully, he would have almost been unable to sense Jiraiya's breath.
"Is he going to die?!"
"It's a bit regrettable, Naruto, your speculation was wrong."
Kyuubi spoke teasingly.
"is it wrong?"
"Actually, I'm not that confident about this matter."
"But, I believe in one person."
"Sister Xi Ling!"
Naruto spoke seriously.
He might not believe what others say.
But, he believed what Xi Ling said!
No matter it was when he drove Yama away in time and space, or his attitude after learning about the affairs of the fairyland.
Naruto knew that they knew a lot of things about this.
It’s just… due to some special reasons, they cannot participate in these things.
"whispering sound……"
Kyuubi sneered, lying down and closing his eyes.
Another five days passed.
"The breath has completely disappeared."
"Naruto, you're wrong."
"Well, what are you going to do next?"
"After killing Jiraiya, you should have some trouble returning to Konoha, right?"
Kyuubi said jokingly.
From when Naruto forcibly extracted chakra from his body, to when he was recognized by the Nine-Tails...
During this long period of time, Nine-Tails had hardly ever seen Naruto being humiliated.
Even in such a situation, He is still very happy to see it.
"No trouble."
"Jiraiya is not dead, but..."
"Click..."
Before Naruto could finish his words, a sound of breaking came from Jiraiya's body, which had turned into a stone sculpture in front of him.
A man, a fox and many toads looked in the direction of the sound.
Cracks began to appear on Jiraiya's body.
"No, this isn't about to break apart, but... is he going to be resurrected?"
"Naruto, I can see his life force through your eyes."
"But, if we just sense him, we won't be able to find him."
"Why?!"
Kyuubi was completely shocked at this point.
What was shattered was not Jiraiya's body at all.
Rather, it is a layer of stone skin on the surface of Jiraiya's body.
"Because now Jiraiya has become the master of this fairyland."
"In Myoboku Mountain, as long as he doesn't want you to sense him, you won't be able to sense him."
"Of course, you can see it with your eyes."
"We may be able to see what the so-called immortals are."
Naruto was somewhat looking forward to it.
As for the most mysterious existence in the ninja world, the fairyland...
Now that Jiraiya has become the lord of the fairyland, perhaps he can truly understand what the so-called fairyland is.
This doesn’t look like a small world, nor does it look like the world that invades the world. What is it…
There are more and more cracks.
The stone-like exterior soon fell off completely.
Jiraiya opened his eyes.
One frog eye and one normal eye.
The aura of the whole person appeared in Jiraiya's perception when he opened his eyes.
It seems that what happened just now was an unconscious state of self-protection...
