MM Racing Chapter 229: Accidentally Entering the Imperial Household.
Chapter 229: Accidentally Entering the Imperial Household.
"How embarrassing! Shut up! Shouting like that is attracting too much attention!"
With a helpless expression and an embarrassed tone, Gamabunta hurriedly reached out his thick frog paws to grab Jiraiya and quickly walked towards the depths of Mount Myōboku.
Keep moving forward
Jiraiya opened his eyes wide, his gaze filled with novel and unprecedented sights, and a sense of awe surged within him.
People come and go, clutching small, glowing panels in their hands, while watching the massive steel behemoths speeding past on the road, making a deafening roar.
Everything was so incredible.
Like a future world
"I... I'm afraid I've mistakenly entered the imperial palace..."
Gazing at the bizarre and surreal scene before him, Jiraiya couldn't help but mutter to himself, his voice filled with awe.
Upon hearing this, Gamabunta glanced at him and replied in a deep voice, "The imperial family? Such a description does indeed suit the realm of our Mount Myōboku."
As the two ventured deeper into the area, the towering buildings around them gradually thinned out, replaced by thick, persistent celestial mist and increasingly dense celestial magic.
Reaching the end
A magnificent and imposing ancient palace stands before you.
As soon as I stood in front of the main hall, a majestic and boundless divine aura rushed towards me, like a mountain pressing down on me, directly assaulting my mind.
This overwhelming sense of oppression made Jiraiya freeze.
A deep sense of awe arose involuntarily in my heart, and I even unconsciously softened my breathing.
"Go in."
Gamabunta stood outside the hall with his head bowed, his posture extremely respectful, and gestured for Jiraiya to enter alone.
Jiraiya composed himself, suppressing his usual carefree nature, and slowly and solemnly stepped into the main hall.
As soon as I entered, my gaze fell directly on the celestial throne in the very center of the main hall.
A tall and upright young man is sitting calmly on it.
The young man possessed unparalleled beauty, appearing ethereal and otherworldly.
Just a fleeting glance
Jiraiya was greatly shocked, feeling that the person before him was the embodiment of the will of Heaven.
He, who was usually mischievous, carefree, and oblivious, didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this moment, and dared not do anything reckless.
"Jiraiya, you've arrived."
The boy slowly raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Jiraiya.
Manji nodded to himself: This kid has grown quite a bit taller since I left Konoha.
"Hello, hello! This junior has come to pay respects to you, senior!"
Jiraiya unconsciously clenched his fists, his tone was full of restraint, and he bowed respectfully.
Seeing this, Wan Ci smiled gently and raised his hand to indicate, "There's no need to be so formal. We're family."
These words left Jiraiya somewhat bewildered, unable to grasp their deeper meaning for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Manji turned to look at Gamamaru beside him.
"Gamamaru, you tell us."
Ten thousand times.
"Yes, sir!"
Gamamaru immediately stepped forward and said, "I had a dream last night that you would come to Mount Myōboku. This is your destined destiny."
"The Great Sage of Mount Myōboku has agreed to pass on the mountain's magical arts to you."
Upon hearing this, Jiraiya was startled, finally realizing that this place was called Mount Myōboku. A mixture of surprise and astonishment filled his heart.
If I learn immortal techniques, wouldn't I become stronger?
When the time comes, kicking Hiruzen Sarutobi and punching Danzo Shimura will be a piece of cake, won't it?
Will Tsunade take the initiative to pursue him then?
Should Orochimaru humbly ask me for advice?
Tsunade: "Jiraiya-senpai,...can you go out with me?"
Orochimaru: "Lord Jiraiya, you are the number one genius in Konoha, and I am the bottom of the barrel."
Thinking about this...
Jiraiya could barely suppress the urge to smile, but he dared not show it.
"However, you need to sign a contract before passing on the torch."
As soon as Gamamaru finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and an ancient scroll appeared out of thin air, slowly floating into Jiraiya's hand.
Jiraiya unrolled the scroll and examined it carefully.
The notice stated that all secrets of Mount Myōboku must be strictly guarded, and no trace of this place should be revealed to the outside world. Furthermore, it was forbidden to privately teach or disclose the magical arts of Mount Myōboku to others...
Having read it word by word, Jiraiya didn't hesitate for a moment, nodding emphatically and saying in an extremely solemn tone, "This junior is willing and will certainly abide by the agreement!"

the other side
Meanwhile, in the spirit world.
Have you seen this human child before?
Clutching a slightly curled-up photograph, the Ape Demon King asked the members of the Ape Demon clan in a deep voice.
One by one, the monkeys stepped forward to examine it carefully, looked at each other for a moment, and then shook their heads in unison.
"I don't recognize him. Is he your brother?"
"No, he's a friend's apprentice."
Immediately afterward, he rushed to the Mirage Clan—the summoning beast clan of the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu.
Have you seen this child?
"The Ape Demon King asked."
The enormous clam slowly opened and closed its heavy shell, emitting a deep, bell-like hum: "Never seen before."
Next, the figure of the Monkey King appeared in various parts of the Spirit World.
From the dog clan to the lucky cat clan, then to the panda clan, the dream-baku clan, the ninja eagle clan...
Several spirits came down in succession.
He traversed most of the spirit world, inquiring with all the familiar clans, but still received no news about Jiraiya.
"well……"
"This kid, could he have already gotten into trouble...?"
The Ape Demon King sighed heavily, his thick eyebrows furrowing into a knot as he clenched the photograph in his hand.
They eventually arrived at the three great immortal lands.
"It seems we can only try our luck at the three immortal lands."
"I've done everything I could..."
"The only thing we can do is beg the great immortal to help us find Jiraiya..."
In truth, the Monkey King didn't hold out much hope.
Those three sacred sites have been protected by powerful barriers erected by great immortals since ancient times, separating them from the mortal world.
For a thousand years, no one has been able to break in, let alone a human imp who has just come into contact with psychic arts.
Unless... his luck is truly beyond belief.
The Monkey King mainly wanted to ask the Great Sage for help in finding Jiraiya.
Soon, the Monkey King arrived at Mount Myōboku.
As the strongest member of the Ape Demon clan, and with a deep connection to Mount Myōboku, he could naturally meet the Great Sage directly and reach the Heavenly Court!
Mount Myoboku, the Great Hall of the Immortals
The Ape Demon King stood respectfully in the main hall.
"The Ape Demon King came to see me. Didn't he just come a few days ago? Why is he here again..."
Wanci asked with a smile.
The Monkey King quickly smiled and said, "Great Immortal, I'm here to find someone. My human friend's disciple went missing because he didn't use the Spirit Summoning Technique. I wanted to ask if he had been to Mount Myōboku."
Hearing this countless times, he instantly understood.
I see, so you've come to see Jiraiya.
"Is that the kid named Jiraiya?"
Wan Ci said slowly.
Upon hearing this, the Ape Demon King was overjoyed: "The Great Immortal truly had foresight!!"
