Chapter 399: Collapsed Jiraiya and Panic Minato
The Ten-Tails was constantly swallowing and absorbing energy in the space of Mount Myoboku. As a large amount of natural energy was drawn away, the remaining trees began to gradually wither. Leaves fell off the trees and turned into a pile of gray powder, which was blown away by the wind and never disappeared again...!
The originally vibrant space of Myoboku Mountain is losing its green color, which symbolizes life and hope, at an extremely exaggerated speed.
The stream that once flowed happily has now dried up, leaving only cracked riverbeds. Even the clouds in the sky seem to have been affected, no longer as white as snow, but gradually tinged with a gray hue.
The wild sand on the ground was constantly lifted up and scattered. In the blink of an eye, all the vitality contained in the land near the Ten-Tails was plundered by it, turning it into a desert, and it continued to spread in all directions...
The whole space is filled with the breath of death...!
To Seiji, Myoboku Mountain was of no value after his Ten-Tails drained it dry.
Because Myoboku Mountain not only belongs to a separate different space, but in order to intercept the natural energy of the Ninja World, Gamamaru also set up a special barrier seal at the connection between the Myoboku Mountain space and the Ninja World. Therefore, no matter how the Ten Tails sucks, it will not have any impact on the Ninja World.
Perhaps, this is the only "right" thing that the old man Toad Pill has done!
Otherwise, if the space where Myoboku Mountain is located is still connected to the Ninja World normally, the Ten-Tails would not be able to suck as recklessly and wantonly as it does now.
After all, the nursery still needs to be well taken care of, and we can't drain the pond to catch all the fish!
-----------------
In Konoha Village.
Jiraiya, who was visiting Minato Namikaze's house, suddenly changed his expression along with Minato Namikaze who was sitting in front of him.
At this moment, both of them felt a palpitation, as if something extremely closely related to them had just disappeared...!
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze looked at each other solemnly, and then they subconsciously said anxiously in unison, "Myoboku Mountain!!!"
After all, the only place that could make the two of them feel lost and was related to both of them was Myoboku Mountain, where both the master and the disciple had a spiritual contract!
So, Jiraiya immediately formed seals with his hands and slapped the ground, eager to deny the most extreme guess in his mind.
"Psychic art!!!"
However, the result was ultimately disappointing to Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze...!
The summoning circle appeared normally, and the white smoke produced by the summoning also appeared normally. The only thing that did not appear normally was the scroll toad that Jiraiya wanted to summon!
Jiraiya suddenly panicked and hurriedly continued to make hand seals, preparing to change another toad to summon the spirit.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze, who was standing by, also hurriedly used the "Summoning Technique" and, together with Jiraiya, summoned all the toads in Myoboku Mountain that could respond to the "Summoning Technique" one by one.
However, no matter how the two tried, no toad was able to respond to their spiritual communication...!
.........

.........
Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze's expressions became more and more ugly. They looked at each other again, and each other's eyes were filled with bitterness, horror and disbelief.
The result they were most reluctant to believe came true...!
Jiraiya sat on the ground in a trance. Compared to Minato Namikaze, the feelings between him and Mount Myoboku were much deeper. After all, ever since he mistakenly used the "Summoning Technique" and got himself to Mount Myoboku, his fate and Mount Myoboku could be said to be closely linked together.
To him, the toads of all sizes in Myoboku Mountain are more than just summoning beasts and fighting partners. After spending a long time together, a deep and inseparable bond has developed between the toads and Jiraiya.
Not to mention, the two sages, Fukasaku and Shima, can be regarded as the masters who taught him how to use the Sage Mode. Moreover, his Sage Mode still requires the help of these two great sages. Now, the two great sages and Mount Myoboku are gone. What should he do?
What's more important is that over the years, he has been searching for the trace of the Child of Prophecy in the Ninja World because of the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage about the Child of Destiny.
Although he learned from the Great Toad Sage that the prophecy had changed and that it was too late for the Child of Destiny to lead the change in the ninja world when he was called to Myoboku last time, how could he just let go of something he had persisted in for so many years?
However, now, Mount Myoboku is gone, and the Great Toad Sage is also gone. For Jiraiya, this is equivalent to everything becoming empty. It can be said to be a devastating blow like the collapse of faith.
At this moment, Jiraiya's mind was churning with thoughts, and he also recalled what the Great Toad Sage had told him last time about the blurry white figure that disrupted the original course of history in the ninja world.
"Could it be 'Him'? Who is the true identity of this blurry white figure?" Jiraiya's heart was in constant pain and he fell into deep thought...!
Minato Namikaze standing by was not in a much better condition either. Although he did not collapse to this extent as Jiraiya, after confirming the destruction of Mount Myoboku, Minato Namikaze also looked extremely dazed. His face, which had been as cheerful as the little sun, was now filled with an undisguised sadness...!
After all, because of his personality, there were many toads in Myoboku Mountain who were his very close fighting partners. Now, all these partners are gone. This is a huge blow to Minato Namikaze, who values his companions very much...!

Uzumaki Kushina, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the sound of smoke coming from the "summoning technique" in the living room. She couldn't help but stop stir-frying and went to the living room curiously to see what Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya were doing.
But when she came to the living room, all she saw were two "salted fish" that seemed to have lost hope, lying on the ground with lifeless eyes.
So, the startled Uzumaki Kushina didn't bother to go back to the kitchen to finish the meal she was cooking, but rushed directly to the two of them, "Minato! Teacher Jiraiya! What's wrong with you?"
