Chapter 761 - Opportunity for Neji!



The fact that Naruto accidentally went to the Ryūchi Cave and learned Senjutsu there was a bit unexpected for Kuroto, however, since that happened, it means, Mount Myōboku has no one, and Kuroto doesn’t think that Mount Myōboku would like to stay so isolated at such critical times, after all, Mount Myōboku has always been deeply involved with the affairs of the Shinobi World.

When this world was ruled by the Rabbit Goddess, it was Gamamaru of Mount Myōboku who revealed the situation to the two sons of Kaguya and trained them. This course of action actually led to the birth of the Shinobi World.

In the following years to come, Gamamaru and Mount Myōboku never stopped paying attention to the Shinobi World, even the arrival of Jiraiya at the Land of Toads, and the birth of the ‘Son of Prophecy’, all of this is inseparable from Mount Myōboku.

However, Naruto has chosen Ryūchi Cave, so, Mount Myōboku will need someone else to fill in Naruto’s position, such that Mount Myōboku can remain connected to the Shinobi World.

And here comes Neji’s chance. If Neji manages to seize this opportunity, then it will be a mutual benefit for Neji and Mount Myōboku.

As for the question, ‘Why not just send Neji to the Ryūchi Cave when Kuroto already has such a great connection with that place?’ The answer is very simple… Sending Neji to the Ryūchi Cave will reveal his connection with them, and he doesn’t want that to happen as of yet. Moreover, Naruto has already become a representative of Ryūchi Cave for this generation, and Kuroto doubts whether White Snake Sage will be willing to take another child of the same generation.

While Kuroto had such thoughts in his mind, Neji suddenly bowed to him with a grateful expression, “Sensei… thank you very much!” his eyes were red, and droplets of tears were flowing down his cheeks, Neji was deeply moved.

Kuroto chuckled, and waved his hands, “Don’t be so hasty in thanking me… Although I am bringing you the opportunity, whether you can pass their tests, and successfully get the approval of Great Toad Sage is entirely up to you.”

Neji nodded with a determined expression, “I will try my best!”

Early Morning of the Next Day

Before going to the Ninja Academy, Kuroto took the time to find Jiraiya while he was on his way to collect materials for his new novel. After meeting Jiraiya, Kuroto expressed his intention.

Hearing Kuroto’s request, Jiraiya was a little surprised, “How did such a thought come to your mind all of a sudden?”

Kuroto explained with a helpless smile, “Naruto not only learned Sennin Mode, but he also obtained a very powerful summon in the form of Garaga… this unexpected reveal of Naruto’s strength has stimulated the children, and Neji also personally came to me, hoping to get a powerful summon similar to Garaga. A powerful summon like Garaga is hard to find, and Mount Myōboku seems to be one of the only two places where Neji might be able to obtain such a summon, and when it comes to Mount Myōboku, you are the only person I can contact, therefore I am here.”

“That makes sense.” Nodded Jiraiya with an ‘I get it!’ expression as he thought about Kuroto’s intention.

Seeing Jiraiya’s thoughtful expression, Kuroto asked, “So… what do you think Jiraiya-sama? Is it possible?”

After a while of careful consideration, Jiraiya nodded, “Since the village owes you a favor, so, I will take this opportunity to repay you.”

Seeing that Jiraiya agreed, Kuroto bowed with a grateful expression, “Thank you so much Jiraiya-sama.”

Jiraiya shook his head, and said, “Don’t worry about it… you deserve this.”

If it was someone else, Jiraiya would have definitely refused.

After all, there are thousands of Konoha shinobi who would want to take the inheritance of Mount Myōboku, however, Jiraiya won’t choose someone so easily. Even in Cannon, he carefully chose his disciple Namikaze Minato, but after that, he didn’t choose Kakashi.

From this, it can be seen that Jiraiya is very careful in selecting the descendants of Mount Myōboku.

The reason why Jiraiya didn’t reject Kuroto is because of Kuroto’s recent actions. Not long ago, Kuroto took the risk of confusing the Akatsuki Organization which spared Konoha from a major disaster, and for this, Konoha owes a great favor to Kuroto that must be rewarded.

Because of the involvement of both Akatsuki and Amatsukami, this matter can’t be disclosed to the village, and only selected people are aware of the ins and outs of the matter, therefore, Sandaime-sama wasn’t able to award Kuroto accordingly, so Jiraiya is taking this opportunity to award Kuroto.

What Kuroto didn’t know is that aside from the reason for awarding there is one more reason why Jiraiya agreed so easily. In the Cannon, the prophecy of Gamamaru was still valid and Jiraiya was supposed to find ‘the Child of the Prophecy’ therefore, he was very cautious, however, that’s not the case in this world, because of butterfly effects caused by Kuroto’s presence, the importance of ‘Child of the Prophecy’ is no more, and Jiraiya is less cautious.

At this time, Jiraiya said, “I don’t think I need to explain this… however, I must… What I can only do from my side is to take Hyuga Neji to Mount Myōboku… as for whether he can get the approval, and successfully inherit the techniques of Mount Myōboku… that’s not in my hands. It’s related to Neji’s abilities, and the decision of toads.”

“Yes, I understand.” Nodded Kuroto.

“All right then, tell Hyuga Neji all the details, and tell him to prepare… We will be going to Mount Myōboku two days later.” Said Jiraiya.

Kuroto nodded, “All right.” Then left the place.

The evening of the same day.

Hyuga Hizashi came to Kuroto’s home.

After welcoming Hizashi to the guest room of his house, Kuroto presented him with tea, and asked casually, “Hizashi-sama… what’s the matter? Your visit is somewhat unexpected.”

Hizashi slowly took a sip of tea, then thanked Kuroto, “Neji told me about the opportunity that you have brought him… I am really grateful, as his father, I am really useless.”

Kuroto shook his head, “Don’t worry about it Hizashi-sama, it wasn’t such a big deal for me, moreover, I am Neji’s Sensei, so this is my responsibility, to begin with.”

“Really Kuroto-kun… sometimes… no I should say, every time… you amaze me.” Said Hizashi with a smile, then added helplessly, “But about what happened on that day… You were a bit reckless. The three elders are very angry at you, after you left the meeting, they did say that they would punish you.”

Kuroto casually waves his hand with a chuckle, “If they had the guts and means to do anything, they would have already punished me by now.”

Hizashi also understood this, and nodded, “You are indeed correct.” Then added while pointing at the forehead, “But we are part of the branch family… and not everyone in the branch family is capable of protecting themselves from the anger of the main family… so it’s better to not offend them too much.”

“I know Hizashi-sama.” Nodded Kuroto, then asked, “But… you didn’t come here with the intention of convincing me to apologize to them, right?”

“If you had the intention of apologizing, you would have already done it by now, I understand this much.” Said Hizashi with a wry smile, then continued after a pause, “The thing is… my brother also learned about the opportunity you brought to Neji… so he was hoping… if you could talk to Jiraiya-sama to take his elder daughter Hinata with him too when he takes Neji to Mount Myōboku… so well…”

“Oh… so Hiashi-sama sent you to convince me, huh?” muttered Kuroto.
