Chapter 312 Myobokusan’s Response
The news that the Yang Village was selling cubes and heart-shaped grass quickly spread throughout the ninja world.
Of course, all the major ninja villages know that purchasing cubes and heart-shaped grass will indirectly increase the strength of the Yang Ninja Village.
But both of them will also enhance their own strength.
They had to buy it, and they were certainly trying to grow heart-shaped grass.
However, the most dissatisfied was not the other ninja villages, but Mount Myoboku.
Among the three holy places, the inheritance of Longdi Cave has never been well received, so there may not be a successor for hundreds of years.
The Slug Immortal in the Forest of Corpses has always lived his own life behind closed doors. It doesn't matter to him whether there is a successor or not.
Only in Myoboku Mountain did they have the most contact with the ninja world.
But now, there is something that can be used to obtain immortal arts without going through the three holy places.
This means that Myobokusan’s monopoly on fairy arts will be broken.
The big toad immortal was in a very unhappy mood.
He discovered that his prophetic powers were blocked.
Not disappearing, but being banned.
And he also knew that the person who banned his predictive ability was none other than Rosen.
This is what Rosen is targeting him and Myobokusan.
But he had no way to deal with it. Rosen's strength made it impossible for him to win.
And now that Rosen is trying to interfere in the monopoly of fairy arts, the impact on Myoboku Mountain will not be significant in the short term.
But as time went on, no human was willing to sign a contract with Myobokusan.
After all, the magic of Myoboku Mountain has huge flaws.
To be precise, the natural energy of Myoboku Mountain is flawed.
However, by absorbing the natural energy within the cube, these defects do not exist.
So it goes without saying how ninjas would choose to acquire magical skills.
Moreover, Rosen also killed two generations of inheritors of Myoboku Mountain, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, respectively. This is a huge grudge.
The Great Toad Sage decided to go and talk to Konoha.
At least he had to make sure that the Konoha line was not lost.
However, since Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze are both dead, there is no successor to Myoboku Mountain now.
So the Big Toad Immortal first found the Slug Immortal in the Forest of Corpses and asked her to pass on the message.
The Slug Sage performed a reverse summoning technique and summoned Tsunade to the Forest of Corpses.
"Slug, why did you suddenly summon me here? Did something happen?" Tsunade looked at the huge Slug Sage in front of her that looked like a mountain range.
"Tsunade-sama, it's not me who's looking for you, it's the Great Toad Sage who's looking for you."
When the Great Toad Sage saw Tsunade, an expression of disbelief appeared on his toad face.
"You...you have already achieved the bloodline network?"
The Great Toad Sage was very familiar with Tsunade's aura at this moment.
The former Otsutsuki Hagoromo also had this kind of aura.
No, Tsunade at this moment may be stronger than Otsutsuki Hagoromo back then.
But how is it possible? The Great Toad Sage is one of the few beings who knows how to achieve the bloodline network.
If Tsunade wants to complete the bloodline network, she needs to at least resurrect the Ten-Tails.
But now the nine-tailed beasts have not been collected.
How did Tsunade achieve the bloodline network?
Although he didn't understand what was going on, the Toad Immortal was regretting it at this moment.
If I had known that Tsunade would grow to such a level, I should have chosen Tsunade to be the successor of Myoboku Mountain instead of choosing that idiot Jiraiya.
It would be such a waste to give such an excellent successor like Tsunade to the slug.
"Big Toad Immortal? What do you want from me?"
Tsunade is not an idealist like Jiraiya. She has witnessed the darkness of Konoha in her early years, and now she is the Hokage of Konoha, so she knows very well that Myoboku Mountain is not a holy place for pursuing justice and light.
She also knew very well some of the things that Myobokusan was doing.
So she was not very interested in Mount Myoboku and the big toad sage.
Anyone who fails to practice the magic provided by Myoboku Mountain will eventually turn into a stone statue.
Those who have successfully trained, such as Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, if they use the Sage Mode frequently, will eventually turn into toads and become a member of Myoboku Mountain.
From some of the characteristics of Jiraiya's Sage Mode, it can be seen that he has already shown obvious characteristics of a toad.
"I plan to cooperate deeply with Konoha." The Great Toad Sage directly stated the purpose of his trip: "To increase the number of people who come to Myoboku Mountain to practice immortal arts, and also to increase the number of Konoha ninjas who sign contracts with Myoboku Mountain Toads."
"Why? Doesn't Myoboku Mountain always only select suitable ninjas for contracts?"
All the targets chosen by the Great Toad Sage in the past were ninjas who had influence over the ninja world.
For him who could predict the future, it was easy to choose such a ninja.
But now he no longer has such ability. He can no longer see the future, so he can no longer accurately select influential ninjas.
Therefore, they had to expand the selection range. Secondly, it was to deepen the influence on Konoha Village, so that Konoha Village would give up using the cube and continue to use their Myobokusan lineage's fairy art system.
If it were in the past, Tsunade would be willing to reach in-depth cooperation with Myobokusan.
But now, there is a better choice, why should she settle for second best? This is not in the interests of Konoha.
And the toads in Myoboku Mountain all have bad intentions.
Even if the cube is their future enemy of Konoha, Rosen provided it.
But relatively speaking, Tsunade is more willing to accept Rosen's deal than the Myobokusan Toad's deal.
The reason for this choice is that the credibility of the Myobokusan Toad is not very high.
And all along, the Myoboku Mountain toad has been stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
"I need to discuss this with the higher-ups." Tsunade said she was discussing it, but in fact she was just trying to delay time.
After all, she didn't want to completely break off relations with Myobokusan.
"Then I'll wait for your good news. I'll leave first." The big toad immortal turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
"Lady Tsunade, I sense your hostility towards the Great Toad Sage. Do you have a grudge against him?" asked the Slug Sage.
"No, I just simply don't like it." Tsunade said frankly.
She and Slug Sage have a contractual relationship and they are in tune with each other, so Tsunade has no intention of hiding it from Slug Sage.
"If you need it, I can also increase the number of contracts and the number of inheritors of immortal arts."
"I'd better not trouble you."
Tsunade knew that the Slug Sage was different from the Giant Toad Sage.
The cooperation with the Great Toad Immortal is more about the situation and decisions made from the perspective of interests.
The Slug Immortal simply wanted to help her.
The Slug Immortal is just an old bug who stays at home and doesn't care about worldly affairs.
So Tsunade didn't want Slug Sage to change his principles for her.
His grandfather was also a contracted slug immortal who practiced the immortal arts without side effects in the Corpse Forest.
"But do you agree that I teach the Corpse Forest Senjutsu to the ninjas in the village?"
"Of course it's no problem. As long as they are ninjas approved by Lady Tsunade, they can be used."
