Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 310 Prophecy

Miaomu Mountain.

This deep mountain that has not been invaded by human forces is like a fairyland. The mountain is shrouded in mist, big or small, and different types of toads and frogs live in every corner. There are huge lotus leaves all over the mountain, and occasionally there are a few colorful toads leisurely. Lie on it and take a nap, the whole reveals a comfortable atmosphere that is indifferent to the world.

But in a corner of this mountain, there is a human being who is incompatible with this harmonious environment.

Uzumaki Naruto has already regretted following Fukasaku to Mt. Miaogi. It’s okay to enjoy the beautiful environment. After a long time, you will inevitably feel aesthetic fatigue. More importantly, this kind of scenery cannot be eaten as a meal, whether it is food or Living habits, for Naruto Uzumaki as a human being, he couldn't adapt to it.

What made Whirlpool Naruto even more impetuous was that he hadn't achieved any results in his practice these past few days. It was not easy to practice immortality. In the original book, Zilai had also become famous for many years, and it was not long before he fought Payne. , Barely mastered, let alone the current Naruto Uzumaki?

boom!

When Fukasaku hit his back with an iron rod again, Uzumaki Naruto finally couldn't bear the pain, and rolled around on the ground, screaming.

"If you keep fighting like this, I don't need to practice immortality, and I will be killed first." Uzumaki Naruto complained angrily, absorbing natural energy requires "moving" like a dead object, which is a very difficult task in the first place. Request, now coupled with the scars and pain all over his body, it is even more difficult for Uzumaki Naruto to maintain a calm mind.

"Are you going to give up when you get here?" Fukasaku didn't care about Uzumaki Naruto's complaints, instead he reprimanded loudly.

"I didn't give up!" Uzumaki Naruto kicked away a stone on the ground, and said to Fukasaku without flinching, "It's because this method is useless to me!"

Fukasaku stared at Uzumaki Naruto for a while, then suddenly put down the iron rod in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you should take a rest first."

Seeing Naruto Uzumaki leave here without making a sound, Fukasaku sighed.

Shikamaru's becoming Hokage's blow to Uzumaki Naruto was far beyond Fukasaku's expectations.

If Naruto Uzumaki practiced hard in the past and continued to pursue progress, it was because of an obvious goal. When Iruka, who was the first to agree with him, passed away, Jiraiya, who had been encouraging and teaching him, died in battle, and has always been cited as a dream. After Hokage was taken away by a ninja who was unattainable among his peers, Naruto Uzumaki was still able to force himself to practice, all because of habitual thinking.

There is no more enthusiasm and inspiration for training in the past, only mechanical movements and impatient thoughts remain.

Fukasaku could see Naruto's occasional confusion. If he still maintained this mental state, he might not be able to learn fairy arts for the rest of his life, and he had to find a solution.

After thinking about it, Fukasaku decided to take Naruto Uzumaki to see the Great Toad Immortal. The most urgent task now is to help Naruto Uzumaki regain confidence in his future. Maybe now is the time to explain the "son of prophecy" to him up.

"Naruto!" After Fukasaku made up his mind, he greeted Uzumaki Naruto who was sitting alone on a big rock in a daze, and when he saw the other party looking over, he said loudly, "Come here, go to a place with me!"

…………

Uzumaki Naruto has already seen all kinds of toads in Mt. Miaogi. Like the boss of the toad, he has the habit of the underworld, or he has human hair like Fukasaku and Shima, and so on. I thought I'd gotten used to it already.

But it was the first time he saw the big toad fairy with a huge body like a hill, and he still felt very strange.

He had never seen such an old toad before, and the big toad Immortal wearing a black doctor's hat seemed to fall asleep at any moment, as if he had lost the strength to open his eyes, when Naruto Uzumaki and Fukasaku walked in front of him together , still no response.

"He won't die?" Naruto Uzumaki asked Fukasaku in a low voice, looking worriedly at the huge body of the Great Toad Immortal.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fukasaku turned his head and reprimanded, then cleared his throat, and called out loudly, "Immortal Toad?"

"..." After a while, just when Naruto Uzumaki felt impatient and wanted to speak, Immortal Toad suddenly responded, "Is it Fusaku? What are you doing here?"

"I think it's time to tell Naruto about the prophecy you made." Fukasaku shouted loudly, as if he was worried about the hearing problem of the big toad sage.

"In this case..., you go and call Uzumaki Naruto!" The Great Toad Immortal seemed to always respond with a full beat, and after a while, he replied slowly.

"I'm right here!" Uzumaki Naruto yelled this time without waiting for Fukazuo to speak.

"You are Uzumaki Naruto?" The Great Toad Immortal reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at Naruto: "It seems that you are the son of prophecy."

"Son of Prophecy?" Uzumaki Naruto muttered for no reason.

"I made a prophecy a long time ago, a prophecy related to Jiraiya and his disciples." The Great Toad Immortal continued to speak in a slow, anxious tone: "This world will usher in changes, and Ziraiya Lai will also play a key role in it, I once told him that he will meet a savior, and he will guide this person to save the world..."

"Little Zilai also chose you, Naruto." Fukasaku didn't wait for the big toad Immortal who was speaking slowly to finish, and said to Naruto first: "Jirai also believes that you are the 'son of prophecy' and the world The savior, the ninja who will bring change to the ninja world."

"The prophecy of the big toad sage has never been missed." Fukasaku saw that Naruto Uzumaki didn't seem to believe his words, so he continued: "Nara Shikamaru is indeed an excellent ninja, but this does not mean that the position of Hokage must be his. belongs to."

"But can I surpass him?" Uzumaki Naruto asked unconfidently.

"You have already seen the power of senjutsu, and besides that, you still have the greatest legacy left by the four generations of Hokage in your body." Fukasaku pointed to Uzumaki Naruto's lower abdomen, and said affirmatively: "Since you were born From that day on, you are destined to become the savior of the world!"

Fukasaku's convincing appearance made Uzumaki Naruto's heart shake. He stroked his lower abdomen subconsciously, as if he could feel a round of seal on his skin through his clothes.

"What do you mean by what you just said?" Naruto asked Fukasaku with a complicated expression, "You mean the legacy left by the Fourth Hokage, do you mean Kyuubi?"

"That's right." Fukasaku nodded affirmatively: "As long as you can master the power of Nine-Tails, you will be able to surpass and even defeat Shikamaru!"

…………

Shikamaru was standing on the ruins, with his right hand gently stroking his chin, looking thoughtful.

From here, you can directly see the gate of Muye Village through the straight avenue, and there should be a red building like a flame standing on the ruins, but unfortunately it has disappeared.

Unsurprisingly, Shikamaru successfully passed the Jonin’s vote of confidence with almost unanimous votes, and officially became the sixth Hokage of Konoha Village. After the reconstruction work is formalized, his statue will be engraved on the cliff behind him In fact, just like the previous Hokages, his story will be widely circulated in Konoha Village.

It’s just that it’s too early to think about these things now. What Shikamaru is thinking about is the next inauguration ceremony that will be held by all the villagers. This is a link for all villagers to know the new Hokage. It used to be held in front of the Hokage Building.

The wide road leading directly to the gate provides a good place for the ceremony, so that the villagers can participate without being overcrowded. When the new Hokage stands on the iconic building that has not been destroyed for decades, it can also be All the villagers have a panoramic view.

The new Hokage leaned against the statues of his predecessors, stood behind the huge "fire" character on the top of the building, and announced loudly that he would become Hokage and lead the village to prosperity.

In that one, the new Hokage seemed to have a sense of mission that was born in him.

Only now, this is the first time that this building has been destroyed in the flames of war, and Shikamaru's succession seems to have left some flaws.

If that's all, Shikamaru can also laugh it off, but if he intends to make the future Konoha Village more aggressive, he must arouse the morale of the Konoha ninjas, even if he has just experienced Payne's attack. Shikamaru has to keep it going.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru didn't hesitate any longer, formed a seal with both hands, and suddenly pressed his palm on the ground.

The four-pillar technique!

boom!

Shikamaru thought back to the appearance of the Hokage Building in his memory. At the same time, a wooden building rose from the ground under the Hokage Rock. Except for the color, the exterior was the same as the original Hokage Building, except that there were no windows and some stone. Materials, etc., are also replaced by wood.

It was the first time for Nara Antlers to watch a ninja perform Wooden Jutsu at close range. It only took a few seconds to watch a building grow from nothing, which made him amazed.

"One day." After Shikamaru performed ninjutsu, he looked at the building that seemed to still smell of wood, then turned around and said to Nara Shikohisa, "Paint it, just like before."

"Understood, Hokage-sama." Nara Antlers nodded, and Shikamaru had already helped them complete the most difficult part. It is not difficult for a ninja to decorate the appearance before the start of the inauguration ceremony.

What's more, there are many hired workers from Tian Zhiguo to help. As long as the exterior is decorated first, there is no need to worry about the interior.

After Shikamaru heard this, he didn't say anything more. Nara Antler was an assistant sent by his father, and he trusted him.Although Shikamaru likes to do things by himself as much as possible, he also knows that he can't do everything by himself, otherwise many tasks cannot be carried out.

After ordering the remodeling of the Hokage Building, Shikamaru returned to the temporary office tent. After the Hokage Inauguration Ceremony, he was about to leave for the Iron Country and prepare to attend the Five Kage Conference.

But before that, he still needs to pick two assistants.
