Two days Later
It was finally time for the kids to go to Mount MyĹboku, and as per Jiraiyaâs instructions, Kuroto led Neji and Hinata to the place where Jiraiya told him to.
As Kuroto and the two kids were waiting for Jiraiya to arrive, suddenly he noted Uchiha Patriarch coming towards them with Sasuke and Kiyomi beside him.
Seeing the three people from the Uchiha Clan coming, Kuroto muttered to himself with a doubtful expression, âWhy are they coming here?â
Neji was also stunned as he noted Sasuke and Kiyomi, and immediately said to Kuroto, âSensei⌠the matter of going to Mount MyĹboku⌠I told Sasuke. So, maybe he is alsoâŚâ
Hearing his discipleâs words, Kuroto teased him, âYou told Sasuke⌠arenât you afraid that your chances of getting the approval of Mount MyĹboku will be reduced with two more competitors?â
Neji shook his head with a clear expression, âI am not afraid.â
Kuroto smiled and shook his head.
Uchiha Kiyomi is fine, but Kuroto feels that the addition of Sasuke will cause changes to his plan, after all, Kuroto is very clear about Sasukeâs identity, and considering who lives at Mount MyĹboku, there is no way he wonât notice that presence inside Sasuke.
Of course, even if he has such a feeling, he doesnât plan to do anything about it, if Neji still manages to get the approval of the toads, then very good, but if doesnât, then that will be a lesson for Neji.
As for the question of how come the Uchiha Clan is here? This isnât a very tough question.
Uchiha Sasuke must have requested his father to create an opportunity for him too, and Uchiha Fugaku must have talked to Jiraiya. In normal times, Jiraiya would obviously not accept Fugakuâs request, but this isnât normal times.đ§đđđđ¸đđˇđđđđđ.đ¸đđŽ
Considering the current complex situation of the village, in order to keep the Uchiha clan happy, Jiraiya had no other choice but to agree to Fugakuâs request.freewebn ovel.c om
In fact, Kuroto feels that even if the Uchiha clan didnât know about Neji and Hinata going to Mount MyĹboku through Neji, Sandaime-sama would have still leaked this news to the Uchiha Clan using his means so that the Uchiha Clan could owe a favor to the Hokage faction.
If Jiraiya has already agreed to take two kids to Mount MyĹboku, then does it really matter if one or two more kids are added?
Obviously No! Adding Sasuke and Kiyomi to the list wonât matter at all.
The excellence of Sasuke and Kiyomi, especially the talent and skills of Sasuke was witnessed by everyone during the recent assessment. Knowing this, if someone says that Sandaime-sama wouldnât want to draw Sasuke to the Hokage Faction, then Kuroto wouldnât believe it.
Moreover, now that Shisui and Itachi are no longer part of the Anbu, Sandaime-sama has all the more reason to draw another Uchiha into the Hokage faction, and what better candidate than Uchiha Sasuke?
Thatâs why we are here with Sasuke and Kiyomi also going to Mount MyĹboku.
Soon after the arrival of the three Uchiha clansmen, Jiraiya also showed up.
After greeting the four kids, Jiraiya looked at Kuroto and Fugaku, as he explained, âAs I already said previously, I can promise to keep the kids safe⌠however, whether they can get what they wish in their heart depends on their luck and abilities⌠I have no say on that, I hope both of you are very clear about this.â
Kuroto and Fugaku nodded together.
With that Jiraiya nodded, âAlright then, now itâs time for us to depart.â then reverse summoned the four children and himself to the Land of the Toads.
After watching the five people disappear in a poof of white smoke, Fugaku turned towards Kuroto and said, âI owe you a favor for this time.â
Fugaku is fairly clear that the only reason Sasuke and Kiyomi have the opportunity to go to Mount MyĹboku is Kuroto, if not for Kuroto to convince Jiraiya, it wouldnât have been possible.
Kuroto shrugged indifferently, âWhatever.â And left the place.
Even if he has no intention of changing anything about Sasuke and Kiyomi going to the Land of Toads, he is not very happy that the two of them are going too. Because he is very clear that the presence of Sasuke in the group will cause changes.
Fugaku remained silent as he watched Kuroto disappear.

Mount MyĹboku
After arriving at the Land of the Toads, five people met with Elder Fukasaku.
When Jiraiya introduced Elder Fukasaku as his Sensei to the kids, all four of them were taken aback and looked skeptically at the small green toad with a white beard, âHe is⌠Jiraiya-samaâs Sensei? This⌠how is this possible?â
Feeling the skeptical gazes of the kids, Elder Fukasaku was helpless. He brought Jiraiya to the side, and asked him, âJiraiya-chan⌠these kids areâŚ?â The elder Toad was surprised to see so many humans come to Mount MyĹboku.
Jiraiya was also a little helpless and explained the entire situation to Elder Fukasaku.
After hearing Jiraiyaâs explanation, Elder Fukasaku sighed, and then he pondered over the situation for a while, âWell, we canât take all of them; thatâs for sure.â
Jiraiya asked, âSo what to do? And how to choose?â
Elder Fukasaku thought about it, and said, âThere has never been a precedent of so many people coming to Mount MyĹboku before⌠even I donât know what to do.â and added after a pause, âI suppose only Great Elder has a say in the matter.â
âThen please.â Said Jiraiya.
Elder Fukasaku nodded and led the five people to the hall of Gamamaru.

Arriving at the great hall of Gamamaru, the five people sat quietly while Elder Fukasaku tried to wake up Elder Gamamaru, âOjiji-sama⌠Jiraiya-chan has brought these children from Konoha⌠what should we do?â
And while Elder Fukasaku explained things to Gamamaru, the four children sat beside Jiraiya with a nervous expression. They swear that this is the first time they have seen such a giant toad in their life. Although old, he still appeared to be a little scary such that Hinata and Kiyomi subconsciously grabbed the sleeves of their elder siblings.
Of course, both Neji and Sasuke were also nervous, but they tried their best to reassure their younger siblings, âDonât worry.â
Jiraiya chuckled at the kidâs behavior and waited for Gamamaru to speak.
After Elder Fukasaku explained everything to Gamamaru, the millennium-old toad with a sleepy expression swept his gaze on the four kids. His gaze passed by Hinata, Neji, and Kiyomi without stopping, however, as soon as he saw Sasuke, Gamamaruâs eyes shot open, his sleepiness disappeared and an incomprehensible expression appeared on his face. Perhaps Gamamaru noted something in Sasuke and muttered, âIndra?â
