After reading the scroll; Kuroto nodded towards Miko-Sama, "Please rest assured Miko-Sama, I will completely solve your troubles this time."
The Cult worshipping Moryo that has entrenched the Land of Demons is not very strong, even its leader Yomi is at most a Jonin class strength, not someone Kuroto has to worry about. Considering his current strength coupled with the information provided by Miko-Sama, eliminating the entire cult would be a spring breeze.
The only thing he needs to worry about is to make sure that no fish slip the net in this hunt that would again cause her any trouble.
Miko-Sama chuckled, "You know, initially, I was actually thinking of entrusting this as an official task to Konohagakure, but with Kuroto-Kun promising to help with the matter, I guess I wouldn't have to worry about it!"
Kuroto nodded, and with that, after he escorted Miko-Sama back to her temple, he immediately rushed towards the cult's strongholds marked on the map…
…
Mount Myoboku
Jiraiya hurriedly spoke, "Boss, you summoned me so anxiously, what's the matter, the matter with the Kumogakure hasn't been resolved completely, so I don't have much time in my hands!"
Sage Fukasaku jumped on Jiraiya's shoulder and banged his head while he said, "Of course the matter is very important, that is why I brought you here so urgently!"
Jiraiya listened to Sage Fukasaku's words while rubbing the small bump on his head and asked, "What important matter?"
Fukasaku shook his head and explained, "I don't know exactly, but it seems to be about the 'Child of the Prophecy,' you'll know for yourself when you meet Ojiji-Sama!"
"Oh? Alright!" – When it was mentioned that it was about the 'Child of the Prophecy', Jiraiya immediately became serious.
According to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, the 'Child of the Prophecy' will become a ninja that will bring great change to the world of shinobi.
Therefore, the Child of Prophecy is a key figure.
And according to what the Great Toad Sage said, that ninja will be Jiraiya's disciple, and the choice will be upon Jiraiya that will determine the direction of the change.
For this reason, Jiraiya has always been traveling around the Shinobi world, in addition to his natural unwillingness to be unbound, there is also the thought of the 'Child of Prophecy' mentioned by the Great Toad Sage.
Although Jiraiya initially believed one of Minato or Nagato to be the 'Child of Prophecy,' but unfortunately, they weren't.
And now that he has been summoned to the Land of Toads for some reason that involves the 'Child of the Prophecy,' so he was immediately very serious and followed after Fukasaku to the hall of Great Toad Sage.
Arriving before Great Toad Sage, Fukasaku jumped down from Jiraiya's shoulder and spoke, "Ojiji-Sama, Jiraiya-Chan is here."
Immediately kneeling before Great Toad Sage, Jiraiya greeted Gamamaru with respect.
Great Toad Sage squinted slightly and spoke with a smile, "Oh, Jiraiya-Chan is here!"
After the greeting, Jiraiya asked urgently, "Ojiji-Sama, have you found the Child of Prophecy?"
Great Toad Sage shook his head.
Jiraiya was a little disappointed and asked, "Then the purpose of summoning me?"
Hearing Jiraiya's question, Gamamaru seemed to suddenly remember something and said slowly, "Not long ago, there were some changes in the prophecy, in my dream, I saw a person with Royal-Blue Eyes."
As soon as he heard this, Jiraiya immediately came back to spirit, "Is he the Child of the Prophecy?"
Gamamaru shook his head again: "Unfortunately I am not sure; this ninja has never appeared in any of my dreams before."
"Royal-Blue Eyes?" – after a pause, Jiraiya frowned and said, "Ojiji-Sama, are there any other clues? Just relying on the clue of 'Royal-Blue eyes' is very difficult to find!"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Gamamaru added, "Ah, he was wearing the forehead protector of your Konohagakure."
"Heh, you should have said so earlier, now it would be much easier to find!" – Jiraiya laughed happily and turned around and was about to leave.
Fukasaku hurriedly stopped Jiraiya, "Wait Jiraiya-Chan, Ojiji-sama hasn't finished yet!"
Since Great Toad Sage wasn't finished yet, he immediately stopped and sat cross-legged, staring straight at Gamamaru.
After a while, the Great Toad sage spoke, "In the subsequent dream, the ninja with the Royal-Blue Eyes never appeared again, not once."
Jiraiya frowned and had a thoughtful expression on his face.
If the ninja with Royal-Blue eyes didn't have some important role that would affect the entire Shinobi World, then the Great Toad Sage wouldn't have mentioned him to Jiraiya.
Now what's troublesome is that this person stopped coming in any more prophecies?
Shima; sitting on the other side of the Great Toad Sage glanced at him and muttered, "Ojiji-Sama must be confused!"
Fukasaku immediately scolded him, "What the hell are you talking about!"
Gamamaru just smiled nonchalantly and then said to Jiraiya, "There must be interference of some power, this ninja is alive, that I can be sure of, but he must be around something that is disturbing my power of prediction!"
After thinking a little, Jiraiya asked again, "Ojiji-Sama, when was it that you first saw him?"
Gamamaru replied, "Not long ago."
Jiraiya asked helplessly, "How long ago was this not long ago?"
Great Toad Sage replied, "Maybe half a year ago, maybe a year ago… I am not so sure…"
The Great Toad Sage has been alive for over a millennium. Time has lost its meaning for him and he isn't much preceptive to the passage of time anymore, therefore it is hard to recall when was it that he exactly saw the ninja with the Royal Blue eyes in his dream.
Shima said, "Did you see, I said that the senile geezer is confused."
At this time, Jiraiya stood up and said, "I understand, if he is really the 'Child of the Prophecy,' I will definitely find him!"
Initially, Jiraiya thought that Nagato who had the Rinnegan similar to the Sage of Six Path is the 'Child of the Prophecy,' but then he heard of Nagato's death, later he thought that his other disciple Minato is the 'Child of the Prophecy' but then Minoto too died.
Although deeply frustrated and saddened, Jiraiya's determination to find the 'Child of the prophecy' has not changed, because Jiraiya firmly believes that only the 'Child of the Prophecy' can finally bring true peace to this war-ridden Shinobi World.
…
Boom…
With a loud door crashing sound, a figure calmly walked into the dark hall.
In the main hall, the leader of the Cult, 'Yomi' turned towards the figure and asked with a dark expression, "Who are you and why do you wish to become an enemy of Yomi!?"
"Yomi?" – with a light snort, the figure continued walking forward and spoke, "The nether world is the resting ground of the fallen, do you think you are worthy, just coz' you are called 'Yomi'?"
Yomi asked sternly, "Just who on Earth are you?"
The other party was covered in a full-body black cloak with golden textual prints, the symbol of Yin at the chest along with the symbols of five Chakra nature spread around the Yin-Yang symbol in a circle at the back, and finally, a black evil spirit mask symbolizing Yin covered his face.
From just one look, he appeared to be a messenger from the Underworld.
The figure chuckled slightly and spoke, "Who am I? I am Yama, the deity of Death, one who rules over the nether world!" – As soon as he finished speaking, Yama appeared next to Yomi with a flicker.
'Too fast!" – Was the only thought that appeared in Yomi's mind, but soon he was confused because a very familiar figure appeared before his eyes, "Hmm, is that me, how come there are two of me?"
But before he could understand what was happening, his consciousness quickly blurred and fell into darkness.
Thud…
Accompanied by the muffled sound, the head that was momentarily floating in the air, and the torso that stood there unfazed, both fell to the ground lifelessly.
