Master, Please Become a Hokage

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then became excited.

"Lord Jiraiya!"

One of the legendary Sannin was actually right in front of him!

"This little guy, why does he look a bit like..." Jiraiya stroked his chin, a familiar face appearing in his mind.

"Kakashi is the son of Sakumo. He's currently under my command..."

Minato Namikaze introduced him immediately.

"Haha..." Jiraiya laughed, "Minato, you're amazing..."

Sakumo's son has become your student?

It seems you've made great progress in these few years.

When Minato Namikaze said that he had saved Kushina and was allowed to view the Book of Seals once, eventually learning the S-rank Flying Thunder God Technique.

It was Jiraiya's turn to be shocked.

"The Second Hokage's technique... truly... amazing..."

Jiraiya's shock was not without reason.

Because even the old man hadn't learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This kind of talent was enough to prove that Minato was qualified to become Hokage.

"No wonder..."

Jiraiya shook his head repeatedly.

Before returning to the village, he had heard of his disciple's nickname, the Yellow Flash.

He originally thought it was just speed, but he didn't expect... it was actually the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"In that case, Minato, there's no time to lose, you should go to Mount Myōboku to learn Sage Mode..."

He's already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Sage Mode must also be arranged.

Only then will he be qualified to compete with Sakumo for the position of Hokage.

Knowing that Minato's dream since childhood was to become Hokage, Jiraiya strongly affirmed his disciple's dream.

The war has already ended, and perhaps the next Hokage will be chosen at any time.

So... he needs to work harder.

"Leave Kakashi to me."

Jiraiya indicated that he would be responsible for teaching Kakashi while Minato went to Mount Myōboku.

"That's great~!" Over here, Kakashi snorted, his whole body bursting with excitement.

To be guided by the legendary Sannin, wouldn't he become incredibly powerful?

The lack of confidence caused by Ryō Sarutobi's reprimand had now completely vanished.

Kakashi only felt that the path to Hokage was beckoning him.

"If Master Minato is the Fourth Hokage, then I will be the Fifth Hokage..."

Soon, Jiraiya left the Summoning Scroll for Mount Myōboku and left with Kakashi.

Minato Namikaze unrolled the scroll and took a deep breath: "Then, it's time to go to Mount Myōboku..."

......

Not long after.

Through Reverse Summoning, Minato Namikaze, summoned to Mount Myōboku by Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima, began to look around.

Mount Myōboku, along with Shikkotsu Forest and Ryūchi Cave... are known as the 'Three Great Sacred Places'.

Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima nodded, affirming Minato Namikaze's talent.

"But before that, come with us, the Great Lord wants to see you..."

Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima began to lead the way.

The Great Lord refers to the actual ruler of Mount Myōboku... the ancient Sage, the Great Toad Sage.

It is said that the Great Toad Sage is a creature from the era of the Six Paths Sage.

His lifespan is now over 1000 years.

His excessively large chakra allows him to foresee the future.

Minato Namikaze had also heard of the Great Toad Sage making predictions, such as... the 'Child of Prophecy' that Master Jiraiya often talked about.

Soon, Minato Namikaze arrived at the palace.

Here, he saw the enormous Great Toad Sage.

"Great Lord, we have brought little Minato," Lord Fukasaku said.

Just as Lady Shima thought that the Great Lord would pretend to be crazy again before getting down to business.

The Great Toad Sage's words exceeded their expectations.

"Child of Prophecy... you have come..."

Lord Fukasaku, Lady Shima: "!"

The Child of Prophecy is the one who will bring peace to the ninja world.

Is little Jiraiya's disciple that person?

Previously, the Great Toad Sage had not clearly stated who was the true Child of Prophecy.

Little Jiraiya had also been searching everywhere.

Now, he said it so clearly, was something about to happen in the ninja world?

Lord Fukasaku and Lady Shima, who had lived for 800 years, witnessing the changes in the ninja world and countless events, their faces visibly became serious.

Then, the Great Toad Sage slowly opened his eyes: "Minato Namikaze, your mission has come... I see struggle, death, rebirth... the ninja world will experience violent turmoil..."

The Great Toad Sage spoke to himself, and Minato Namikaze could only listen with wide eyes.

"Everything started not long ago."

Not long ago?

Minato Namikaze immediately recalled the destruction of the Hidden Sky Village.

"That's right, from the moment the Hidden Sky Village was destroyed, many things changed..."

The Great Toad Sage looked up at the sky, where white clouds drifted.

"The originally clear future has become blurred and fragmented... Even I can't accurately judge all the things of the future..."

The established trajectory has been broken.

Perhaps many things will change.

"Great Lord, can the future... be changed?" Minato Namikaze raised his eyes and voiced his doubts.

Originally, the Great Toad Sage predicted the Child of Destiny.

But now he says the future is blurred.

The Great Toad Sage nodded: "Yes, fate is determined by oneself. When a force that is too good or too evil appears, the prophecy will not go in the intended direction..."

Fate cannot restrain people who are extremely good or extremely evil.

And it is because of their participation that many things will be rewritten.

Great Toad Sage: "In the new future I see, you will fight against that force..."

"That force... does it want to destroy the ninja world?" Minato Namikaze suddenly stood up and asked eagerly.

"It is destruction."

The Great Toad Sage's answer made Minato Namikaze, Lord Fukasaku, and Lady Shima's hearts sink.

"But it is also rebirth."

The three: "!"

Great Toad Sage: "The cycle of death and rebirth, that's how everything in the world is..."

"Great Lord, I don't understand."

Minato Namikaze was a little confused.

If he is the Child of Prophecy, what should he do?

"Minato Namikaze, if you yearn for a new world, you can avoid fighting that force... But if you want to preserve the old world... then, fighting is your destiny, you are that Child of Prophecy."

The Great Toad Sage raised his finger and pointed at Minato Namikaze.

"The choice... is mine?"

Minato Namikaze's eyes were confused.

"If I don't fight, that is to say, will there be a new Child of Destiny?"

"That's right." The Great Toad Sage put down his finger and nodded. "The era will choose the destined person. If you sit back and watch everything happen, others will fight that force, thereby creating a new Child of Destiny."

After hearing these words, Minato Namikaze fell into deep thought.

Lady Shima couldn't help but ask first: "Great Lord, then according to your prediction, that force will destroy the old world and create a new world. Is this good or bad?"

"Good and bad are often determined by perspective."

The Great Toad Sage's tone became more profound.

"Humans eat animals, to animals, humans are evil. Conversely, people think it's natural to eat animals. Good and evil... are definitions of perspective..."

Lady Shima frowned: "Can you say something that little Minato can understand better!"

"......"

The Great Toad Sage was silent.

Then he spoke again.

"Alright, Minato Namikaze, I'll tell you the original destined future, and then you can consider making a decision."

The Great Toad Sage's eyes suddenly widened.

The incomparably huge chakra directly pulled Minato Namikaze into the future trajectory that it saw.

"This is the original trajectory..."

One by one, nouns, people, and events flashed quickly before Minato Namikaze's eyes, like a movie playing.

Seeing these visions was like experiencing the subsequent life himself.

"The original future... the Fourth Hokage... marrying Kushina... having children... Naruto Uzumaki..."

"The current future... fragmented and blurred scenes... the destruction of the old world... the deviation of the trajectory..."

"Ugh!"

Minato Namikaze's eyes spun, and the excessive amount of information made him sway.

Fortunately, this pain didn't last long.

When the Great Toad Sage stopped, Minato Namikaze immediately knelt on one knee, panting heavily.
