Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 349: Do You Want To Fly?

"Jiraiya, good, you brought the prophecized man. I am Gamabunta, the chief toad of Mount Myoboku. It is a pleasure to meet you, the sage of beasts." Gamabunta talked in his hoarse voice.

"What prophecy are you talking about?" Alexander confusedly asked. Jiraiya was also as much interested in knowing this.

"Great toad sage made a prophecy about you a while ago. He's never wrong. He said you'd be coming here soon." Gamabunta explained to them.

"Then it feels more like a fact than a prophecy if they are so correct," Douglas interjected.

Gamabunta nodded his head, "Yes, you can say that too. His prophecy has never been wrong. Now, if you will follow me."

Gamabunta brought them to a building. In front of it, two small toads were standing. Though the two looked old.

Once Alexander was near them they lightly bowed, "Welcome to Mount Myoboku, Sage of beasts. I am Fukasaku, the head toad of this place. Come, my wife has set up a nice feast for us."

*UWAAA*

Alexander noticed Jiraiya making ugly faces like he was going to vomit any moment. He didn't understand the reason behind him and followed him inside his house.

They were soon brought in front of a long table with various baskets placed on it. In each basket, different kinds of insects could be seen. From caterpillars, beetles to earthworms.

~Now I understand.~ He just remembered Fukasaku was a toad so his diet would also be like a toad.

Fukasaku quickly took his seat, "Come, eat with us."

All the tailed beasts sat on their seats and started eating. To them, eating insects was not a big deal as they had eaten them before. But for Alexander, Hats, Berry, and Douglas, it was not a happy sight.

"Haha, yeah, what a feast. But we are strict vegetarians. I will make food for myself." He took out many tacos from his always ready kitchen in the pocket dimension.

Chomei, who was chomping on some insects, looked at him, "But G-CHAN! You just ate..."

Before he could complete the sentence, Douglas grabbed his mouth and stopped him from speaking further.

"Haha, Chomei, it is bad to talk while eating," Douglas said wryly and said something in Chomei's ear.

No one doubted them and they were able to dodge the bullet and eat the meal. During the meeting, the wife of Fukasaku tried many times to make them eat the insects. Saying it was her specialty.

"So, can we go and meet this great toad sage?" He asked.

"Yes, we can. But I don't know if he will be waking up. He is too old now." Fukasaku told him.

"Just take me to him. I'll see what I can do." He insisted.

Fukasaku nodded and asked him to follow. Jiraiya and Douglas followed him from behind.

"Okay, little ones. You stay here and have fun. I'll be back in a while."

...

Fukasaku brought him to an old palace-like building. They went straight inside and found the old sage sitting on a chair fitting his size.

"He's sleeping. Meeting with him is all about luck." Jiraiya commented.

"Well, look at him. Sleeping so happily. Let's wake him up."

Alexander sent a small jolt of lighting at the big toad. Toad's eyes instantly opened in shock.

"Oiiiii"

"Oh, he speaks French." Douglas joked.

Alexander knew that the old man was very sick and would not be speaking up without help.

So he gave the toad some natural energy healing. The wrinkled face of Gamamaru became much better in an instant.

Gamamaru's tired-looking eyes opened fully and his face turned cheerful.

"What a wonderful feeling, I haven't felt like this in so many years... ah, you are the man I prophecized about. Wait, how long was I asleep?" Gamamaru was filled with questions.

Fukasaku quickly answered him, "You slept for two months this time, the great sage."

"Ah, that was a small nap then. Well, I knew you'd be coming, Sage of Beasts, but I do not know why." Gamamaru spoke.

"You can call me Alex, and I came to get some information out of you," Alexander said and took out the sketch of the black humanoid thing he saw the last time.

"Do you know what this thing is?" He asked.

Gamamaru's eyes widened as soon as he saw it. "Where did you see him?"

"He was trying to kidnap Shukaku, the one tail. I caught him and was able to cut his arm." He answered.

"Hmm, troubling this is. This thing is called the Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu was created by Kaguya Otsutsuki shortly before she was sealed as the Ten-Tails by her twin sons, Hagoromo and Hamura.

"It is responsible for many troubles throughout history. When Hagoromo later named his younger son, Asura, as the new leader of Ninshu, Black Zetsu tempted Hagoromo's elder son, Indra, to go to war with his younger brother. Over the centuries, it manipulated the two brothers' reincarnations in an attempt to get one to awaken the Rinnegan, and also recorded many events for Kaguya, including Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's last fight at the Valley of the End.

"Its main aim is to revive Kaguya. I learned all this throughout my various travels and prophecies."

"Tell me, this reincarnation thing. Is it still going on?" Alexander asked.

"Yes, the last known incarnations of Indra and Asura were Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. But no new incarnation has been born yet. Though that time is not far away. But nothing matters now as you are here, right?" Gamamaru replied.

"Hahaha, yes. You're right. But tell me, why can't I sense this Black Zetsu even when it is so close to me?" He asked.

"That may be because just like the tailed beasts. You as a whole, if not a part, are natural energy. This means that using natural energy is like breathing to you. Black Zetsu is the will of Kaguya, made from the same type of energy." Gamamaru explained.

"So I will have to lure him out and kill him in one strike. I will have to come up with a plan it seems." Alexander muttered.

"Wait, who is this Kaguya? What is this whole reincarnation thing?" Jiraiya asked.

Gamamaru looked at Jiraiya like he just noticed him. "Ah, you. I remember your prophecy. But it will be only half valid now."

Jiraiya was concentrating on his words now, "Which part? That I will become a pervert never seen in the world before?"

"No, you will still be the greatest pervert in the world, I was talking about you teaching the child of prophecy who will unite the world. You will still be teaching him but not as a child of prophecy anymore. Just as a grandpa figure." Gamamaru told him.

"Why? The world doesn't need to be united now?" Jiraiya asked.

"No, it will be united much earlier now. Because of the sage o... Alex." Gamamaru replied.

*Cough*

Alexander interrupted their talk, "So, Gamamaru, did you see the fight between Kaguya and her sons personally?"

"Yes, I did. It was terrifying. I thought the world would be destroyed that day but somehow we are still alive. I hope that Kaguya rots inside the moon forever"

Alexander chuckled, "Well, now that I know most of the history, tell me how do I learn this senjutsu?"

"It is very simple, you just channel the natural energy through your body," Gamamaru said.

"But I am already doing that." Alexander retorted.

"Then you have already mastered the Natural energy, congratulations."

*Sigh*

Alexander looked at Jiraiya, "Well, what do you want to learn? I don't break promises."

"What can you teach me?" Jiraiya asked excitedly.

"Hmmm... kid, do you ever wish you could fly?"

Alexander again used his ability to fly as leverage and got off easy. Seriously, flying was an ability that gets people excited by just having the prospect of someday learning and using it.
