Chapter 141 Mount Myōboku
In a restaurant in Shukuba Town, Jiraiya sat around a table with Boruto and Naruto.
Naruto glanced at Boruto's bowl piled high with food and couldn't help but purse his lips, because Jiraiya had been putting food on Boruto's plate the whole time, seemingly ignoring that Naruto was still there.
"It's nice that the perverted sage is treating us, but isn't this just too unfair?" Naruto said, somewhat indignantly.
During the journey with the perverted sage out of the village to find Tsunade to become Hokage, the perverted sage was not so generous to him, and even asked him to help him finish his manuscript.
When Jiraiya heard Naruto's complaint, he laughed and replied, "Make sure Boruto is well-fed before he goes on his journey. After all, he won't be able to eat these things once he gets there. Come on, Boruto, eat more."
As Jiraiya spoke, he added a bowl of rice to Boruto's bowl, knowing full well that not everyone could easily adapt to the dietary habits of Mount Myōboku.
"Oh... okay."
Boruto looked at the mountain of rice and various dishes in his bowl, combined with Jiraiya's words, and felt somewhat at a loss, a strange unease rising in his heart.
......
After the three of them had eaten their fill, Jiraiya patted his belly in satisfaction. Upon returning to his residence, he immediately used a summoning jutsu. As a cloud of smoke rose, the figure of Fukasaku appeared before them.
Jiraiya formally introduced Boruto and Naruto: "This is my Sage Mode master, Fukasaku, who is the 'leader' of all the powerful warriors of Mount Myōboku."
Jiraiya then added to them, "Master Fukasaku has lived on Mount Myōboku for over eight hundred years."
Naruto was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the toad summoned by the perverted sage had such a powerful background.
Fukasaku the Hermit said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Although I have lived a long time, I am not old at all."
Boruto bowed to Fukasaku, the sage: "Nice to meet you, Grandpa Sage, I am Boruto."
Fukasaku turned his gaze to Boruto, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but said nothing.
Then Fukasaku turned to Jiraiya and asked, "Jiraiya, what is it you wanted to do by calling me out this time?"
Jiraiya explained the purpose of summoning Fukasaku to the hermit: "Master Fukasaku, this time I would like to ask you to take Boruto to Mount Myōboku for training."
Fukasaku nodded in understanding: "Yes, the Great Toad Sage mentioned a few days ago that someone would come to Mount Myōboku to practice Sage Mode. Judging from the current situation, the person the Great Toad Sage was talking about is you, Boruto."
Boruto asked with curiosity, "Grandpa Sage, how do we get to Mount Myōboku?"
“If you walk there, it will take about a month. Mount Myōboku is known as the Mountain of the Lost; if you don’t know the path, you absolutely cannot reach it. However, there are a very few exceptions.” Fukasaku said, glancing at Jiraiya.
Boruto exclaimed, "Just getting to Mount Myoboku is so arduous; it takes a month to walk there."
The hermit Fukasaku smiled and explained, "The three of you have already signed contracts with the toads of Mount Myōboku, so there's no need to worry too much about this."
"I will use reverse spirit communication to bring you to Mount Myōboku."
Naruto was curious: "Reverse Summoning Jutsu? What kind of ninjutsu is that? Is it the same type of ninjutsu as the Summoning Jutsu?"
Fukasaku patiently explained, "Reverse Summoning Technique is a space-time ninjutsu. It is the opposite of Summoning Technique. It involves a contracted partner summoning a human, and it belongs to the category of reverse summoning techniques."
Boruto nodded in understanding. With the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, things were indeed much more convenient, saving them the long journey to Mount Myōboku.
The immortal master Fukasaku solemnly reminded him, "The difficulty of cultivating immortal arts far exceeds your imagination. You must be fully prepared mentally."
"Yes! I will do my best." Boruto replied confidently. Now that things have come to this, how could he give up so easily because of a few words?
Fukasaku nodded slightly: "Speaking of which, when I first saw you, Boruto, I was a little surprised, because I remembered that you had already sacrificed yourself when you went on a mission with Jiraiya."
Naruto couldn't help but burst into laughter: "How could Boruto possibly die? Sage, you're really joking."
The Immortal shook his head and said seriously, "Although I have lived for over eight hundred years, I am not confused and I cannot remember wrong. At that time, his body was torn in large areas and his breath had stopped. It is impossible for him to fake it."
Naruto's expression darkened as he listened to Fukasaku's words. Since he didn't know the specifics, the incident must have occurred during Boruto and Jiraiya's investigation of the Akatsuki.
Naruto's anger was building up. It was the Akatsuki again! They not only tried to capture him, but now they were targeting Boruto.
Of course, Naruto also understood that the reason they chose not to tell him about this was to avoid making him worry too much, which ultimately stemmed from his own lack of strength.
Boruto glanced at Naruto, who was standing beside him with his head down and not saying a word, and then briefly recounted the incident to Fukasaku.
"I see. Then I'll take my leave." With that, with a soft sound, the sage Fukasaku transformed into a wisp of smoke and quickly dissipated into the air, leaving the place.
Jiraiya turned his gaze to Boruto and said earnestly, "Even I couldn't perfectly complete the training at Mount Myōboku. I almost turned into a frog when I was training my Sage Chakra, and that was already considered good."
Jiraiya continued, "So even now, I can't use Sage Mode on my own and can only rely on the two Sages. But I think you will definitely be able to master it."
Boruto nodded in understanding, but before he could respond, Fukasaku used Reverse Summoning Jutsu to make him vanish instantly.
After Boruto was taken away by the Reverse Summoning Jutsu, Jiraiya turned to Naruto and said, "Alright, let's begin our training journey then. Naruto, pack your things, we should leave."
Naruto clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and said through gritted teeth, "I can't wait to increase my strength and then teach the Akatsuki a lesson."
......
After Boruto arrived at Mount Myōboku using the Reverse Summoning Technique, the scene before him suddenly changed, and he was immediately drawn to the tranquil atmosphere.
Thick fog filled the mountains, streams babbled and made pleasant sounds, and all around grew all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
