Aburame Bughime.

The toad couple looked at each other.

The couple were not familiar with this name. Although Miaomu Mountain was connected to the human world, the connection was not close. Most of the information from the outside world came from contemporary contractors of Miaomu Mountain.

In addition, there is the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal.

Most of the understanding of the ninja world stops at a certain famous ninja who dominates the ninja world.

so...

"It turns out that it was an unknown person who was talking nonsense." Shima Sennin, as a woman, took the lead in saying.

Fukasaku Sennin, on the other hand, remained silent, constantly observing Miki's reaction.

"Little Jiraiya." Shima Sennin continued: "Your friend seems not to be polite at all. Myoboku Mountain is not a place you can just come to!"

Shima Sennin seemed angry.

Jiraiya shrank his neck and was a little confused.

Most animals have a sense of territory, and toads are no exception. They are extremely wary of threatening intruders and do not attack directly. Except for the toads of Miaomu Mountain who are civilized, they are also more or less looking at For Jiraiya's sake.

Shima Sennin was very angry about Jiraiya's behavior of taking humans to the habitat without authorization.

The atmosphere was a bit stiff. At this time, Fukasaku Sennin looked at Miki and said, "Little girl, what do you mean, what advice do you have?"

This guy is not a nobody.

Fukasaku knows that his wife also knows this kind of thing. Because of the magic perception, this guy feels a little too scary.

Just like facing an invincible predator in ancient times, the fear of being preyed upon by an apex predator is engraved in our genes.

Miki looked at the rational Fukasaku Sennin.

The reason why Shima Sennin reacted so strongly was because he was poked in a painful spot.

And Fukasaku Sennin has an important identity, the actual leader of the ethnic group.

Although the Great Toad Immortal has a lofty status, he basically does not manage the affairs of the ethnic group.

Moreover, although he is powerful, he is helpless in facing many things.

Reproduction requires many important prerequisites.

"I have nothing to advise, I just feel sorry." Mei Ji said.

"What's the regret?" Fukasaku Sennin asked.

"It would be a bit regretful to see a certain kind of life completely disappear from this world." Mei Ji said with a smile: "It's just human nature."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Immortal Shima said angrily: "We, the Toad Clan of Mt. Myoboku, are living well! How could we disappear!"

"Really?" Mei Ji replied: "Isn't that great? Just treat me as nonsense."

"Damn it! Stop saying a few words!" Fukasaku Sennin scolded him angrily, then looked at Miki and said, "Mushi-hime, our Myoboku Mountain is very strong!"

"Yes, yes." Meiji nodded.

Fukasaku Sennin's expression changed and he said, "Can you be more specific?"

Jiraiya looked around and instinctively discovered that things were not simple.

Isn't Miaomu Mountain good? Why did Meiji say that? Was it to scare the toad?

"Due to severe damage to the ecological environment of animal distribution areas and habitats, pollution, climate change, human hunting and other reasons, they are on the verge of extinction." Mei Ji said: "Animal groups can be roughly divided into these categories."

“Least threatened, Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered and Extinct.”

"Among them, the critically endangered species with a very high probability of extinction means that the population is less than a thousand." Meiji looked at Fukasaku Sage and asked, "Excuse me, how many toads do you have in total?"

Hearing this, the pupils of Fukasaku Sennin, Shima Sennin and Jiraiya all shrank.

Jiraiya has been practicing in Miaomu Mountain all year round, and he is very clear about the situation in Miaomu Mountain. Toad knows them all and can count them all.

"Ah!" Jiraiya exclaimed and shouted, "Isn't this dead? There aren't even a hundred toads!!"

"Jiraiya!!" Shima Sennin looked at Jiraiya with his eyes blazing.

"Really? There are not even a hundred of them." Mei Ji nodded knowingly and said: "If there is any surprise, there is no ability to resist risks at all. The number is about the same as I estimated. In this area , with Gamabunta’s huge size, two to three are almost the limit that the environment can bear.”

Fukasaku Sennin looked at Miki and nodded. He knew very well how good his silly son could eat.

Guzi

One meal was more than a thousand times that of a frog of his size.

Not to mention that I am a young man living in poverty, but now he is numb.

"Is there any solution?" Fukasaku Sennin asked.

Although he asked, he basically gave no hope. There is no pie in the sky in this world, and he knew this simple truth very well after living for more than 800 years.

but...

"Yes..." Meiji looked at Jiraiya and said, "Work to earn money to buy food."

"Ha!?" Jiraiya pointed at himself. After a while, he understood the meaning and said anxiously: "Impossible! It can't be done! I can't afford it!"

He was also aware of Wentai's appetite.

It was impossible for him to support the entire Miaomu Mountain with his own salary.

It’s really difficult to be a human being!

Of course Fukasaku Sennin knew this.

Human currency can buy what is needed, so contractors are needed, but it is impossible for one person to feed a group of toads.

"I know, but Miaomushan never accepts money from contractors." Fukasaku Sage said, but occasionally it may need emergency help.

Isn't it normal for contractors to help each other? Talking about money hurts feelings.

"That's really interesting." Mei Ji said, "Then what do you mean by signing a contract with humans? Working for free or even risking one's life is so noble."

The slug represents a chat companion.

It’s hard to say about Longdi Cave.

But of course the toad is trying to establish a good relationship with humans.

The Immortal Fukasaku was about to speak but stopped.

It's hard to explain this kind of thing clearly. Toad doesn't want to lose face.

They want to rely on humans for survival, but they don’t want to rely too much on humans to lose their independence and become human animals, like cattle and horses.

If you take a closer look at the cattle and horses that are attached to humans, the consequences are obvious.

Even cats and dogs have lost their dignity in Toad's eyes.

Of course, it can survive without relying on humans, but the key point is that once humans cause trouble, it will be isolated and helpless.

Therefore, toad needs human friends who can help him at critical moments.

Contractor, therefore exists.

Therefore, the contractor must be a person with authority in the human world who can decide the direction of things.

The core of its purpose is to survive.

There is no love without reason in this world.

noble? For the future of the ninja world?

nonexistent.

What does the grudges and hatreds in the human world have to do with these toads?

This is biological instinct, for self-preservation.

Meiji looked at Fukasaku Sennin and his wife with a half-smile.

The couple was speechless.

"Insufficient living space?" Mei Ji said: "There are many solutions, such as quick-effective solutions. Isn't Mount Miaomu very strong? Go to the human world to grab territory. There are many intelligent ninja beasts in this world. Wouldn't it be nice to gather ninja beasts to form a ninja village of ninja beasts?"

Jiraiya thought about it and nodded, thinking it made sense.

But this is courting death.

Will be besieged by the five major countries, even Konoha will never allow this to happen.

Besides, Miaomushan cannot afford to die.

"Stop joking, Insect Princess." Fukasaku Sennin said in a deep voice, "Is there any other way?"

"Of course." Mei Ji chuckled.
