Chapter 54 Qingguang’s Suspicion (Ch 54)

Harumi’s answer surprised Jiraiya.
Neither his master Sarutobi Hiruzen, nor his two teammates, Jiraiya and Tsunade, were willing to believe his words or this prophecy.
But when it comes to Qingguang, his first response is to ask him if he wants to help him find the child of prophecy…
He could not see any ridicule or suspicion on Qingguang’s face, only seriousness and concentration.
At this moment, his eyes couldn’t help but become moist.
“Thank you, Qingguang, but I can handle this matter myself.”
Jiraiya told Harumitsu what happened between him and Sarutobi Hiruzen in the Hokage’s office.
Seeing Haruki’s frowning brows, Jiraiya’s heart was in his throat. If even Haruki couldn’t help…
“There’s nothing I can do about it.”
“Sure enough…” Jiraiya lowered his head in disappointment.
“But I have a way to make up for it.”
“What can we do?!” Jiraiya immediately grabbed Haruki’s shoulders, and his eyes regained their luster.
“The ninja world is so big that you won’t know where to start even if you’re looking for the child of prophecy. You’d better start from the Rain Country.”
“While searching for the child of prophecy, you can also collect information about the Rain Country. Let the summoned beasts send the information to me at regular intervals, and I will deliver it to Uncle Hiruzen.”
Jiraiya could understand what Haruki meant, but he still had some doubts in his mind: “Why don’t I just let the toad pass the information to Sarutobi-sensei, wouldn’t it be easier?”
Jiraiya was still a little slow in this regard, so Haruki had to explain it again.
“You have to let Uncle Hiruzen see your attitude. You are leaving the village because of the prophecy of Mount Myoboku. He is not only your teacher, but also the Hokage of Konoha. As the Hokage, he must never allow the ninjas in the village to put things outside the village above the village. You have to understand Uncle Hiruzen’s difficulties.”
“No matter how much he wants to forgive you, the Hokage can never forgive your actions.”
“You have to prove to the Hokage that you are loyal to the village and have a third party as a guarantor, so that your loyalty to Konoha will not be misunderstood by other ninjas in the village. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that the Sandaime Hokage will abuse his power to protect his apprentice. At this moment, the morale of the village must not be disturbed.”
After hearing this, Jiraiya laughed at himself twice.
“As expected, I still don’t understand politics. However, if this happens, Qingguang, you will also be implicated by me. I…”
Raising his hand, Haruki interrupted Jiraiya’s next words: “Myoboku-san and I have never met before, so naturally I don’t believe in the prophecy you said.”
“But I believe, Senior Jiraiya, since this is what you decided to do, there must be a reason for it.”
These two sentences made Jiraiya feel as if he had found a confidant in life, someone who truly understood him and was willing to believe in him.
“Thank you, Qingguang.”
Qingguang shook his head slightly: “No need, you just need to agree to a small request of mine.”
“What request?” Qingguang risked his own reputation to prove himself and also came up with such a good idea for him. How could he refuse Qingguang?
“Please, Senior Jiraiya, don’t do things like peeping into the bathhouse in the village anymore. It will make it very difficult for the police department, and it will not be good for your reputation and that of Uncle Hiruzen.”
Jiraiya wanted to refuse immediately, as this was his only hobby, but looking at Haruki’s sincere eyes, he gritted his teeth and nodded with determination.
“Okay, I got it. I’ll leave Sarutobi-sensei’s side to you.” After saying that, Jiraiya climbed out of the window and left.
Qingguang was left alone in the office, sitting back in his chair, lost in thought.
Jiraiya told Harumitsu about the prophecy, and he could think of three possibilities.
Nagato who claimed to be a god, and the Akatsuki organization full of people; the Otsutsuki clan in outer space, or the Otsutsuki branch on the moon, and himself…
All four are possible. Now, there is only one core reason that cannot be confirmed. Haruki has no idea whether the Great Toad Sage dreamed that he would become the so-called god, or whether it was the butterfly effect caused by his appearance in the ninja world.
But no matter what, Qingguang understood that from now on, he had to be wary of the group of toads in Myoboku Mountain.
Including the plan proposed to Jiraiya, it was also to have the opportunity to look through his records on the scroll and contact the toads in Myoboku Mountain to try to get more information from them.
“Looks like I have to go to Granny Cat’s place.”
After processing the documents, Qingguang summoned Heihua through spiritualism and handed a small jar of Polygonum aviculare balls into its paws.
“Heihua, please tell Granny Cat that I need to go over tonight to perform the reverse psychic technique. I have something to ask her.”
Heihua held the small glass bottle with an intoxicated look on her face and nodded swayingly.
It meowed twice and then disappeared.
At midnight, Qingguang was channeled into a shop in an abandoned town.
Granny Cat was right in front of him.
“Cat Granny, sorry to bother you.”
“Nothing. If you have anything to ask me, just ask me directly. I will tell you everything I know.”
Although Granny Cat has not met Harumitsu many times, she knows a lot about his deeds. He is a big celebrity in Uchiha and even in Konoha Village.
She might even become the head of the Uchiha clan in the future. As she represents the leader of the Ninja Cat clan, she naturally has to be on good terms with them.
The Ninja Cat Clan is not good at fighting, and they have been able to reach their current size only because of the alliance with the Uchiha clan. To put it bluntly, they are vassals of the Uchiha clan.
“I want to get as much information as possible about Myoboku Mountain.”
“Myobokusan? Wait a minute.”
Granny Cat turned around, lifted the yellow door curtain behind her, and soon came out with a scroll.
“This is all the information about Myoboku Mountain related to the Ninja Cat Clan. Remember to destroy it after reading it and don’t let anyone else know.”
Qingguang took it and said, “Thank you, Granny Cat. Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble for you. Please keep it a secret for me, Granny Cat.”
Even if Qingguang didn’t mention such a request, she would keep it secret.
“I haven’t seen anyone tonight, old woman. I went to bed a long time ago.” After saying that, she turned around and left with her crutches.
Qingguang nodded and smiled, the reverse spiritualism technique was lifted, and he returned to his bed at home.
Check the scroll in your hand immediately.
At first, he thought he wouldn’t get much useful information, but when he finished reading it, he found an extremely important piece of information, or guess, and a fire burned the scroll to ashes.
Myoboku Mountain…
“What a good trick.”
Qingguang never imagined that the contract signed between the so-called spiritual holy land of Myoboku Mountain and the contractors was not an equal contract, but an unequal contract in which toads were the main force and humans were secondary!
The people who signed the human contract were just given a quota by Myobokusan in order to facilitate the completion of some things in the ninja world and they needed a spokesperson.
