Chapter 52 The alert brought by the toad

  Back to Konoha's Jiraiya, he didn't explain to his teacher Hiruzaru Sarutobi the weird dream predicted by the giant toad sage.

  As Hokage, believe it or not, the prophecy is still a matter of opinion. Even if you believe it, if you want to investigate the innocent ninja without any reason, it will easily cause internal chaos in Konoha.

  In many cases, even Hokage can’t inquire about a ninja’s secrets at will.

  Then, this kind of matter can only be handled by yourself.

  After all, the big toad sage said that this dream prophecy will directly make ninjas disappear from the ninja world, including Konoha.

  As a staunch supporter of the will of fire, Jiraiya could not tolerate such a thing happening.

  So, Zilai also has two plans, one is to find the person mentioned by the Great Toad Immortal in Konoha, and deal with it directly. This is the first method, and it is also the most direct and effective

   But doing this is not my style, so the second method is to find the prophecy and give him correct ideological education. This will not only avoid the problem of Konoha disappearing, but also cultivate an excellent ninja for the village.

   Which of the two methods to choose is based on finding the person who prophesied. If you can’t find this person, what you say is just whimsical.

  But Zilai is also a little worried.

  Because the Big Toad Immortal did not give the conclusion that the prophesied person can be correctly guided by him to abandon the dark and follow the light in his treatment of the prophecy dream, but directly predicted the disappearance of the ninja forces headed by Konoha, which was accompanied by unprecedented wars sweeping the ninja world.

  Therefore, those who have always worried about the prophecy cannot use any means or words to correct their thoughts, and they will go deeper and deeper on the road of destruction.

  Ninjas are gone, and the ninja world will naturally be destroyed with it.

   This is exactly what Jiraiya is worried about.

  ◎

  At the end of July, the sun is like fire.

  Under the shaded tree in the courtyard, Shiraishi and Liuli are meditating together, practicing the practice of extracting natural energy from the natural world.

  Different from the self-formed physical energy and spiritual energy in the human body, the source of natural energy is more extensive. Air, water, flowers, plants and trees all contain natural energy, which is a ubiquitous and endless life energy.

  The absorption of natural energy can greatly improve the physical and mental activity, that is, the overall increase.

   And after absorbing natural energy, it can make excellent improvements to the human body, making the vitality of the human body stronger.

  In simple terms, if all humans in the Quannin world mastered the method of absorbing natural energy, then the natural lifespan of human beings would be increased by at least several decades, and when they reached old age, their physical condition would not decline too much, and their appearance would not look too old, but they would maintain extremely vigorous energy.

   Of course, this is a very ideal situation.

  Theory often requires logic, and reality is often nonsense.

   Wanting to promote this cultivation method in the current era to benefit all mankind is simply a dream.

   Without a perfect system and system, doing so rashly will not only make your situation very dangerous, but will also brew an unprecedented storm of war.

  Wars will no longer be limited to ninjas, but the entire human class.

  Therefore, the best way is to continue to strive for self-improvement.

  Because you have mastered the method of extracting natural energy, you should hide it deeper, and never stick your head out unless it is unavoidable.

   Just as Baishi was concentrating on extracting natural energy, Liuli over there had already opened his eyes.

  On her shoulders, an orange fluffy cat suddenly fell. This cat was a little fatter than a normal domestic cat. It looked harmless to humans and animals, but it came to Liuli with a light and silent posture. It can be seen that its speed and agility are completely out of proportion to its fat size.

   "Master Liuli."

  From its opened mouth, a human-like voice came out, which tended to be neutral, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

   "Yuhuo, what's the matter?"

  Yuhuo is the ninja cat that Liuli signed the psychic contract with the most outstanding ability. In normal times, he is responsible for managing the hundreds of cats in Muye Village and transmitting information.

   It is not yet the time for regular delivery of information, that is to say, Yuhuo came to find him with important matters to report.

   "I don't know why, but the number of toads in Konoha in recent days has been much higher than before."

  Yu Huo jumped off Liuli's shoulder and looked at Liuli directly.

   "Toad?"

   Liuli frowned.

   "Yes. I think this is a bit strange, so I came here to report it."

   "What do you think is the reason?"

  In order to send those hundreds of cats to Konoha, it took almost half a year to go through various formal channels, so the fact that Liuli used cats to collect information was not noticed by outsiders.

  Even the identities of these cats are naturally integrated into Konoha, without any incongruity.

  Because of the lessons learned from the past, Liuli will be alert to any abnormal points around her.

   "Not sure. Master Liuli, what should we do next?"

   "When you let your cats and grandchildren pass on information in the future, choose a place high in the building where there are no toads. If there is anything wrong with those toads, come over and let me know immediately."

  No matter what caused the sudden increase in the number of frogs in Konoha, whether it was a natural situation, or someone was controlling it behind the scenes, Liuli must remain extremely vigilant about what he plans to do.

   At any time, the slightest bit of suspiciousness cannot be missed.

"yes!"

  After Yuhuo finished his report, he disappeared from Liuli with a whoosh.

  Not long after Yuhuo disappeared, Shiraishi over there had opened his eyes and stood up from the shaded place where he was meditating.

   "How's it going, are you done?"

   Liuli cares about this.

   "It's going well. Now I have inexhaustible strength in my body, and my mental state is much better than usual. I feel that I can go on for days and nights without feeling tired."

  After stretching his muscles and bones, Baishi showed a satisfied smile on his face.

   Exactly as I thought, things like natural energy have unimaginable benefits for living beings.

  If this method is extended to the human population, it can indeed refresh the human body and spirit, so that all diseases will not be serious. Some minor diseases do not require drug treatment at all, and can be eliminated by their own strong immunity.

  Now Shiraishi's body looks unchanged, but apart from Chakra, there is also natural energy absorbed from nature.

  Baishi didn’t feel it through the experiment, but now that he has extracted natural energy, he suddenly feels that without chakra, natural energy can also become a very complete energy system.

   This is also very similar to his expected result. Even without Chakra as a support, natural energy can become a necessary energy supplement during battle.

   Especially the increase in physical skills.

  This point has already been proved in previous experiments.

   As for whether ninjutsu and genjutsu can be released with natural energy alone, further research is needed.

  If natural energy can be used to release ninjutsu and genjutsu, then natural energy is undoubtedly a superior substitute for chakra.

  But in fact, the two complement each other.

  The celestial chakra produced after the fusion of natural energy and chakra, the strength of energy, including the powerful vitality for human body supply, will undergo further qualitative changes.

  Chakra, natural energy, xianshu chakra, the three are advanced in this order.

  Theoretically, since natural energy can be used alone to enhance physical and mental activity, that is, to strengthen physical skills, then it is logically no problem to use it alone to release ninjutsu and illusion.

   But there is no problem in theoretical logic.

  If so, Shiraishi is already satisfied. Most of his fighting methods come from physical jutsu, and his ninjutsu is mainly medical ninjutsu.

  Now he has a better substitute for chakra and amplifies his physical skills—natural energy, which can save the few chakras in his body and use natural energy to improve physical and mental activity. The comprehensive improvement effect is better than chakra, and the endurance is also more prominent.

   Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call natural energy an inexhaustible energy.

   "By the way, I seem to have heard Yuhuo's voice just now, what happened?"

  When Shiraishi was extracting natural energy just now, he vaguely heard the voice of Ninja Cat Yuhuo, so he asked this question.

  Liuli didn't hide anything, and said directly: "It came to report to me that there have been a lot of toads in Konoha recently, please be careful."

   "Toad?"

   Baishi tilted his head.

  To be honest, there are a lot of toads in Muye Village. If you don’t pay special attention to this aspect, it’s really hard to notice. After all, toads are so small, and most of them are hidden in the dark and humid sewer environment. Who would pay special attention to this kind of thing?

   "Mt. Miaogi, one of the three holy places, is the lair of toads. Among the three ninjas, Jiraiya Jōnin has a deep relationship with Mt. Miaogi."

   "Are you worried that it's a toad from Mt. Miaomu?"

  Baishi suddenly felt that this kind of thing was a bit too nonsense.

   "According to Uchiha's classics, the three holy lands have a long history and possess incredible magical power. No matter whether it is the Sannin who messed up the ghost or not, we cannot take it lightly."

   "Is that so? Then pay attention."

  Baishi didn't object. Anyway, Liuli has a complete intelligence system in his hands. In fact, he can't use himself for this kind of thing.

  However... It is indeed a bit strange that there are so many toads in the Konoha.

   Forget it, I just need to be unobtrusive, there is no need to do these superfluous things. Baishi thought in his heart.

   So far, he has hidden himself very well, and Liuli has dealt with many aftermath problems for himself. It can be said that he is now a Konoha Shinobi with pure thoughts and ordinary abilities.

   Just follow this ordinary feeling and go on.
