Satoru listened as the Great Toad Sage recounted history, from the era of Hagoromo to the present day.
He also spoke of past Children of Prophecy.
And some of the events that transpired in their destinies.
He was, after all, old and couldn't remember everything clearly.
"In the future, there will be another path of destiny, and it will be my last prophecy concerning a Child of Prophecy."
As the Great Toad Sage spoke, he revealed a crucial piece of information.
"A future destiny?" Satoru asked.
Another path of destiny—was he referring to the Boruto era?
"Yes, this is something I foretold a thousand years ago.
At that time, Hagoromo, to counter this millennial catastrophe, decided to divide his power.
Using Yang Release, he created the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan,
and passed it on to his son, Indra,
hoping Indra would pass this Kekkei genkai down through generations."
The Great Toad Sage said.
"Ah? The Sharingan was the Six Paths Sage's doing?"
He knew it was the Six Paths Sage's son's eye, but he had no idea the Sharingan was specifically created.
Satoru was a bit bewildered.
Could it be that all the anime he watched before was wrong?
Shouldn't it be that Hagoromo's power couldn't be fully passed down through bloodline and then degenerated?
"No, this was a failsafe Hagoromo left for the Ninja World.
The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the heart; if the world is on the brink of collapse,
and the Sharingan's wielder experiences extreme stimulation, there is a chance for the eye to evolve abilities to cope.
However, this probability merely increases the success rate of surviving the millennial catastrophe.
In my prophetic dreams, the specific future of this catastrophe
had no confirmed indications.
I only know that this is the last great catastrophe; once it is overcome,
the world will enter true peace, and a Child of the World will appear in the future,
to bear the responsibility of saving the world."
The Great Toad Sage explained his prophetic abilities in detail.
He even revealed a secret.
"I knew I felt the Sharingan's evolution mechanism was much better than the Rinnegan's.
So it was a failsafe from the Six Paths Sage; this foresight into the future truly requires prevention.
It's like acting right under someone's nose!"
Satoru was deeply shaken after listening.
Holy cow.
The Great Toad Sage's prophecy was too accurate.
The future Child of the World must be Boruto, right?
Not necessarily; it could be Mitsuki or Sarada.
Or perhaps the Child of the World isn't a single individual.
As a mature Ninja, Satoru had to maintain sufficient skepticism about information.
He even suspected whether the Great Toad Sage was hiding something, or was the mastermind behind it all.
He had read many novels, and his thoughts were too divergent.
However, the power of the Sharingan was indeed as the Great Toad Sage described.
Orochimaru's research data on the Sharingan also corroborated this.
"Then, regarding the future catastrophe, can the Three Great Sage Locations cooperate?"
Satoru asked.
He had already obtained information about foreseeing the future.
Now, the most important thing was the millennial catastrophe mentioned by the Great Toad Sage.
He wanted to know more information.
Especially whether the Three Great Sage Locations had made corresponding preparations for this so-called catastrophe.
"We have, but with minimal effect; we can only strengthen our own abilities.
Some abilities are ineffective against the so-called future catastrophe.
It seems the opponent's abilities blocked my foresight, as well as Ryūchi Cave's current mind wave and other abilities.
What we can do now is strengthen our own abilities to assist the future."
The Great Toad Sage slowly said.
Even the Sage powers of their Three Great Sage Locations only detected a portion of things.
However, all Three Great Sage Locations were prepared.
When the threat to the Ninja World appeared, they would unite with the Ninja to eliminate it.
This was also why they provided summoning contracts to the Ninja of the Ninja World.
They had no obligation to help the Ninja.
They just wanted to unite with the Ninja to form the so-called summoning contract.
But these were things only the Sages of the Three Great Sage Locations knew; others were unaware.
"I see, thank you for your guidance, Great Toad Sage." Satoru thanked him.
His thoughts about the future changed again.
In short, the more information they had, the more prepared they would be.
"You also seem to know some things about the future, which is why you came to seek my guidance, isn't it?
The abilities of the Three Great Sage Locations cannot resolve the future catastrophe.
The most important thing is the power of you Ninja; in this aspect, you need to strengthen yourselves.
We can only provide some help."
The Great Toad Sage said.
Satoru: "Understood, we will all work hard. The opponent's abilities are indeed absurd, but victory will surely belong to us."
He firmly believed this.
What about Ōtsutsuki, and what about an All-Knowing, Omnipotence God?
Whatever abilities they possessed, he would resolve them.
He would never allow his life to be destroyed.
He was still young and didn't want to die yet.
He was only in his thirties; he still had countless years to live.
With his current body, even without other modifications, he could live for two or three hundred years.
If he used Ninjutsu like Earth Grudge Fear or Edo Tensei, he could live for countless years.
He hadn't fully explored everything in the Ninja World.
He had only visited over two hundred countries.
There were still many customs he hadn't seen.
"I hope so. If anything happens, you can also inform me. Do you need a summoning contract for Mount Myōboku? I can let you sign one so you can come to Mount Myōboku to discuss anytime."
Gamamaru said.
His words were slow but firm.
"No need, I'll just set a marker here; I can come over anytime."
Satoru placed a Flying Thunder God mark on a nearby pillar.
Mount Myōboku and the Ninja World were actually in the same space.
They were not in a different dimension.
So the Flying Thunder God could be used.
It was more convenient than Mount Myōboku's summoning.
"Goodbye, Great Toad Sage, I'll come to see you when I have time."
After thanking him, Satoru slowly walked out of the main hall.
"Hmm—who was that again?" The Great Toad Sage tilted his head, unable to recall the person's name.
--- "Hey, what are you doing?"
Satoru walked out the door and saw Naruto and Hinata playing something.
Upon closer inspection, it was a large plate of insects.
"Naruto probably hasn't had Mount Myōboku's specialty in a long time, so I brought it for him to try.
Do you want some, Satoru?"
Gamaryu, respecting Satoru's might in the Fourth Shinobi World War, handed a large plate of insects to Satoru.
They were pupae, pupae.
And they were still moving.
At this moment, Naruto and Hinata's faces were still pale.
Understandably so; given Gamaryu's size, the volume of those insects was imaginable.
Satoru looked at the insects right in front of him, feeling the rich nutrients within their bodies.
No wonder the toads of Mount Myōboku grew so large.
"No, just show me around Toad Country. I've been to all the other countries, but I've never seen a country made up of toads."
Satoru directly refused his offering.
He was human, not a toad.
