Chapter 377: The Plan to Save Minato Namikaze and the Great Toad Sage Can No Longer See the Future
"Come here, please come over to Morino Ihiki."
After sending Naruto away, the Sandaime pondered for a moment before giving an order to the ANBU ninjas.
"Hokage-sama, are you looking for me?"
Soon, Morino Ihiki appeared in front of the Sandaime with a solemn expression.
"Ibixi, I have an important task for you."
"I got a tip that Madara Uchiha is still alive."
"I need you to confirm this."
The Sandaime didn't talk nonsense with Morino Ibi and directly gave her this order.
"What, Uchiha Madara?"
"Hokage-sama, are you talking about Uchiha Madara?"
Morino Ibiki was immediately stimulated.
Even for a mature and steady person like him, his voice couldn't help but rise several octaves higher.
Slight discoloration.
Without him, the information provided by the Sandaime was indeed too heavy and too explosive.
No matter what, that's Uchiha Madara too!
For any of the older generations of Konoha, that is a name that is so heavy that it is difficult to breathe.
More importantly, as we all know, Uchiha Madara is dead!
"Ibiki, I know what you are thinking. Just like you, I always thought Madara was dead."
"But now it seems he is not dead."
"Madara actually survived the battle with the first generation."
The Sandaime naturally knew what Morino Ihiki was thinking in his heart at the moment.
When he just learned this information, he was as shocked as Morino Ihiki.
So I completely understand Morino Hiki's reaction at this moment.
"Madara is not dead? This is really surprising."
Morino Ihiki still couldn't keep calm.
Uchiha Madara was a character who betrayed Konoha and started a war with the Shodaime.
How could Konoha make mistakes about the life and death of such a character?
Were Konoha's top management at that time so useless?
Morino Hiki subconsciously felt that it was impossible.
But soon, Morino Ihiki recalled the terrifying intelligence ability of the Sandaime.
The reason why Konoha was able to catch Orochimaru off guard in Konoha's collapse plan was because of the information provided by the Sandaime.
Information that Morino Hiki knows nothing about.
The situation at that time was so similar to now.
So despite being caught off guard by the information provided by the Sandaime, Morino Ihiki still chose to believe in the Sandaime.
But just as Morino Ihiki nodded, he discovered another huge loophole.
"Hokage-sama, even if Uchiha Madara hadn't died at that time, he wouldn't be alive now, right?"
Morino Ihiki asked this question to the Sandaime in a deep voice.
Madara is a character from the Warring States Period!
If you don't die now, wouldn't you become a spirit?
"That's what I thought too."
"But according to the clues I have, Uchiha Madara found a way to survive."
The third generation did not mention the first generation cells, that matter was really of great importance.
But what the Sandaime didn't know was that he was completely misled by the fragmented records in the diary.
No matter how powerful the first-generation target cells were, they couldn't be that powerful.
Although the first-generation target cells did allow Uchiha Madara to awaken the Samsara Eye, there was no way to extend Uchiha Madara's lifespan.
In fact, if Uchiha Madara hadn't used the Heretic Golem to "charge" himself, he would have died long ago.
Even Uchiha Obito may not have time to arrange it.
"Is there such a thing?"
Morino Ihiki believed it.
Although this thing sounds a bit unbelievable, it was Uchiha Madara.
Looking at the entire ninja world, the only guy who can compete with the Shodaime is a complete loser.
For that kind of person, Morino Hiki is not surprised at what kind of things he can do.
"Hokage-sama, do you have any other more specific clues?"
After straightening his expression, Morino Ihiki asked the Sandaime again.
Unfortunately, the Sandaime shook his head.
Apart from the fact that Uchiha Madara was still alive, he really didn't know any more information.
We can only look forward to Zhou Cheng’s spoilers in the future.
"I understand, Hokage-sama!"
Morino Yibixi understood it and responded in a deep voice.
Although he didn't have any relevant information, his investigation was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Based on Morino Ihiki's experience, it is almost impossible to gain anything.
But Morino Ihiki still followed the order and left.
After that, the Sandaime called some elite ANBU over.
They were given a mission to go deep into the Kingdom of Wind to investigate the Loulan ruins.
Frankly speaking, this task is not too difficult.
Although Loulan is within the Kingdom of Wind, Loulan is completely independent from Shayin Village.
In addition, Loulan has long since perished and is now completely in ruins.
It is impossible for the Kingdom of Wind to pay any attention to Loulan.
For the ninjas of Konoha ANBU, it really wasn't that difficult.
The fact was just as the Sandaime expected.
In just a few days, the ANBU ninjas who had gone deep into the Kingdom of Wind had successfully returned.
And brought back relevant information about the Loulan ruins.
That place, as before, was still a deserted ruin.
There is nothing noteworthy.
The Sandaime was somewhat relieved.
He began to think seriously about the feasibility of this matter.
When he promised Naruto about this matter before, the Sandaime did not think too much.
He just simply thought of bringing back Minato Namikaze.
But when the Sandaime calmed down to analyze this matter, he had to think about another crucial issue.
The continuity of time and space!
In other words, would bringing back the Fourth Hokage have any extremely significant impact on Konoha.
After all, Minato Namikaze is also the Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
And when he sent Minato Namikaze to Loulan to perform the mission, Minato Namikaze was still very young.
Even the Third War had just ended not long ago.
If Minato Namikaze was absent from that time, I am afraid that the direction of Konoha would be deviated in an uncontrollable direction.
Even if you think with your thighs, you know that such an important person as Minato Namikaze will definitely have a decisive impact on the development of Konoha.
This is also something the Sandaime has to consider.
Of course, this does not mean that the Sandaime has given up on Minato Namikaze.
It's just that the Sandaime thinks that this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
So, is there any way to bring Minato Namikaze here while ensuring that it will not cause a major negative impact on Konoha?
This method really exists!
After some thought, the Sandaime really had an idea.
Let Naruto travel back in time and tell Minato Namikaze about the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
Let Minato Namikaze take precautions in advance to avoid the tragedy of his death.
Isn't that enough?
Isn't that the best way to bring Minato Namikaze here?
Just do it!
The more the Sandaime thought about it, the more he thought this matter was feasible.
So after careful analysis and careful thinking, he took this policy as an action program.
"Naruto."
"Look carefully for information about the Nine-Tails Rebellion."
"Tell me all the relevant information again, don't miss anything."
So the Sandaime called Naruto over again.
He asked Naruto carefully about some spoilers about the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
Naruto naturally didn't say much, and he looked through the spoilers in the diary, almost reading it according to Zhou Cheng's original words.
He told the Sandaime everything about it.
And what about the Sandaime?
The Nine-Tails Rebellion itself was a big event for Konoha, and Konoha naturally conducted an extremely detailed investigation afterwards.
The whole process of the incident, all kinds of details, are recorded in the case files, and the Sandaime himself has almost forgotten them.
If you look through the previous case files, there will be no omissions.
The Sandaime quickly gave orders to collect the previous case files and the information from Zhou Cheng together, and finally printed them on a scroll.
Not only that, the Sandaime also left a code on the scroll.
A code that the past self will believe is left by the future self when he sees it.
In this way, not only the past Minato Namikaze, but also the past self will know the detailed information about the Nine-Tails Rebellion in advance.
Then wouldn't this be avoided in advance?
OK!
This is it.
"Is that so?"
"That's fine, as long as my father is still alive!"
When the Sandaime told Naruto about this plan, Naruto also expressed his approval.
Whether it is to bring his father directly or to prevent his father from dying in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the result is actually the same.
Even what the Sandaime said makes sense. From the perspective of safety, the latter is more secure.
"Grandpa Hokage, when are we going to Loulan?"
Naruto couldn't wait to call out to the Sandaime.
"Don't worry."
The Sandaime smiled, "Naruto, go and call that guy Jiraiya over."
"Grandpa Hokage, are you planning to go with the lecherous sage? Great!"
Naruto immediately became excited.
He already knew that the lecherous sage was not only his teacher, but also his father's teacher!
If the lecherous sage went with him, things would definitely go more smoothly.
"Go ahead."
The Sandaime did not deny this, but waved his hand at Naruto.
If you want to convince Minato Namikaze, it is not enough to have only Naruto's bloodline.
After all, how can Minato Namikaze believe that a person he has never seen is his son?
This requires an "old acquaintance" of Minato like Jiraiya.
"I know, Grandpa Hokage!"
Naruto ran out happily and began to look for Jiraiya all over Konoha.
If it were in the past, the task of finding someone would be a nightmare for Naruto.
With his IQ, finding clues, analyzing and reasoning are completely nonsense.
And Naruto has no patience at all.
I'm afraid it won't take long for him to explode on the spot.
But now?
It's completely different. With Jiraiya's nature, he can only be in one place.
A place where women are piled up!
Is the name of the lecherous sage called for nothing?
So Naruto has a clear goal and specifically looks for hot springs, baths, women's product stores and other places.
Sure enough, soon on a tree near the women's area of the hot spring, Jiraiya was found concentrating on "collecting materials".
"I knew it."
"The lecherous sage is really hopeless!"
Naruto couldn't stand it anymore.
He was about to call down Jiraiya, the embarrassing bear, but suddenly.
Swish!
Naruto's eyes blurred, and Jiraiya on the tree disappeared.
"Where is the lecherous sage?"
"Where did he go?"
Naruto was a little confused.
Of course, he was not the only one confused, Jiraiya was also stunned.
Where is the girl?
Where is the little sister?
Why are they all gone?
Damn, who is it!
Who brought me to this place!
Jiraiya was so depressed and angry.
But when he turned his head and looked at the surrounding environment, he found that he seemed to have come to Myoboku Mountain.
Jiraiya's face became solemn.
It turned out that Myoboku Mountain had sent him back to the spirit world, which meant that something important must be going on at Myoboku Mountain.
"Little Jiraiya!"
A voice rang out.
It was the two immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, who appeared.
One by one, they all looked very solemn.
"Boss, big sister, what happened?"
This made Jiraiya's face also become solemn.
"Jiraiya, the Great Toad Immortal has woken up."
"Come with us."
Fukasaku Immortal called Jiraiya and led the way.
It turned out that the Great Toad Immortal had woken up!
Jiraiya immediately knew what was going on. It seemed that the Great Toad Immortal must have seen some future again, right?
The fact was just as Jiraiya had expected.
When he followed the two immortals, Fukasaku and Shima, and came to the Great Toad Immortal, the Great Toad Immortal was mumbling something in his mouth.
However, his speech was not very clear and his voice was not loud, so Jiraiya did not hear it clearly.
You have to know that the Great Toad Sage is really too old, and usually he is not very sober.
"Great Toad Sage, little Jiraiya is here."
Sage Fukasaku jumped in front of the Great Toad Sage and shouted to him.
"Oh, it's Hashirama."
The Great Toad Sage finally opened his eyes with great effort and glanced at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya: "..."
"Great Toad Sage, I'm not the first generation, I'm Jiraiya!"
Jiraiya immediately explained to the Great Toad Sage.
"Who?" The Great Toad Sage was still a little confused.
After Sage Fukasaku explained to the Great Toad Sage several times, the Great Toad Sage finally recognized Jiraiya.
"Great Toad Sage, what did you see again?"
"Is it about the child of prophecy?"
Jiraiya took the opportunity to ask.
"No, I can't see anything."
"The future is blurry and no longer clear."
"An unknown force has disturbed the future!"
The Great Toad Sage told Jiraiya a piece of news that surprised him greatly.
He had been looking for the child of prophecy because of the Great Toad Sage's prediction, and he couldn't even return to Konoha because of it.
As a result, the child of prophecy was not found, but the Great Toad Sage suddenly told him that the original future was no longer accurate?
So should he still look for the child of prophecy?
