Chapter 146 The Great Toad Immortal
Sage Fukasaku continued to emphasize: "Sage Mode should be used with caution. It is best used when you have the support of many companions and can ensure that you have the opportunity to escape freely."
"If you have to use Sage Mode in certain situations, you must temporarily withdraw from the battle and find a safe place to collect natural energy once your chakra starts to run out, in order to avoid over-consuming your own chakra."
After listening to Fukasaku's explanation, Boruto nodded slightly to show his understanding.
However, he was not too worried about this matter, because as long as he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he could quickly transfer to Mount Myōboku or other safe places before his chakra was exhausted, thereby restoring his Sage Chakra.
Fukasaku then explained that, in order to deal with this risk, he and Boruto could absorb natural energy by slightly pressing their shoulders or backs together, thus continuously replenishing the chakra needed for Sage Mode during battle.
He mentioned that Jiraiya's final form, Sage Mode, was also maintained in this way.
Today, Boruto, as usual, spent his day training in Sage Mode with his grandfather, and his evenings were dedicated to mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique.
His purpose in doing this was to ensure that he could return to a normal environment at any time and avoid changing his eating habits due to a long stay in Mount Myoboku.
But whether it's because he got used to it or for some other reason, Boruto actually started to think that eating insects was a matter of course, and even... some of them tasted good?
......
The next morning, Boruto planned to start fusion training with Fukasaku, but Fukasaku suddenly said that the plan for the day had changed.
Fukasaku said to Boruto, "Boruto, the old master suddenly wants to see you. He instructed me to take you there today, so the fusion training may need to be postponed for a while."
"Grandpa?" Boruto was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the sage was referring to the great toad sage who lived on Mount Myōboku.
Boruto had heard from Jiraiya that the Great Toad Sage was the most senior and wisest being on Mount Myōboku, having lived for over 1000 years. It was said that the Great Toad Sage's prophecies had never been wrong from the past to the present.
Legend has it that the Great Toad Immortal possesses the ability to see through past karma with his "divine insight".
Guided by Fukasaku and Shima, Boruto embarked on a journey to the Great Toad Sage's residence. Before long, Boruto and his companions arrived at the cave where the Great Toad Sage lived.
Boruto stepped into the cave. The interior was dimly lit, with only faint light coming from the glowing minerals embedded in the walls. As he ventured deeper, the cave gradually opened up, eventually leading to a spacious hall, far larger than he had anticipated.
In the center of the cave, a giant toad sits on a throne meticulously carved from stone, its eyes slightly lowered.
Boruto stared at the giant toad sage in front of him. It was entirely orange, with a string of prayer beads around its neck. One of the beads, a pale purple cat's eye, was particularly eye-catching, with the character "oil" engraved on it. It also wore a large doctoral cap on its head.
At this moment, Fukasaku and Shima each came to the stone platform on either side of the throne where the Great Toad Sage was enshrined and stood quietly.
The giant toad sage opened its slightly cloudy eyes and asked in a low voice, "Who comes down here?"
Master Shima spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Honestly, you old fool, you're playing these tricks again. You were the one who called Boruto over here."
The sage Fukasaku quickly intervened, saying, "Mother of the child! How can you call the old master a fool!"
The Great Toad Sage interrupted their argument with a smile: "Oh dear, oh dear, you two shouldn't keep arguing. Couples should live in harmony... But speaking of which, who's that kid down there?"
Boruto respectfully replied, "I am Boruto, and I am now Jiraiya's disciple."
Upon hearing this, the Great Toad Sage nodded slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face: "Oh... I see. And who is Jiraiya?"
Upon hearing this, even Fukasaku couldn't hold back anymore. Covering his face, he tried to explain to the Great Toad Sage, "Grandpa! It's Jiraiya! Jiraiya!"
The Great Toad Sage feigned sudden realization, his tone revealing a hint of understanding: "Oh, so it's Jiraiya."
The Great Toad Sage looked down at Boruto and smiled, saying, "So... Jiraiya, what brings you here?"
Boruto: ......
Fukasaku sighed helplessly, wondering if the old man really found it interesting to play this game for no reason.
Then Fukasaku spoke up directly: "Grandpa, didn't you say last night that you foresaw Boruto's future?"
The Great Toad Sage lowered his eyes slightly, looking down at Boruto, and said in a calm tone, "Well... I'll tell you what I dreamed about last night, Boruto."
Upon hearing that the main topic was about to begin, Boruto immediately focused his attention and prepared to listen attentively to the Great Toad Sage's prophecy.
The Great Toad Sage slowly began to speak: "In my dream, I saw that you would soon be engaged in a fierce battle with a tailed beast."
When Boruto heard the Great Toad Sage's prophecy that he would be fighting a Tailed Beast, a sense of doubt arose in his heart. He wasn't sure if this was related to the Akatsuki's plan to capture the Tailed Beast, or if there was some other reason...
But before Boruto's thoughts could continue to wander, he heard the Great Toad Sage continue recounting its prophecy.
"And in the near future, you will encounter two people, one is your nemesis, and the other is..." The Great Toad Sage paused before he could finish speaking.
Boruto listened intently to the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, but he couldn't hear the complete content of the prophecy for a long time. He looked up at the Great Toad Sage and found that bubbles were coming out of the man's nose, indicating that he had fallen asleep.
Shima the Immortal looked at the giant toad immortal above with a hint of helplessness and muttered a complaint, "Honestly! That old idiot is asleep again!"
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Wake up! The prophecy isn't finished yet!" Fukasaku the sage called out anxiously, trying to awaken the sleeping toad sage.
