MM Racing Chapter 135: Gamamaru's Dream
Chapter 135: Gamamaru's Dream
Wanci remained seated quietly on the prayer mat, his fingertips lightly touching his brow, still silently pondering the trivial matters of the birthday banquet.
A series of urgent shouts came from beside my ears.
"Teacher! Teacher!"
The voice was hurried and flustered; it was Gamamaru's voice.
With heavy footsteps, the palace door was gently pushed open, and Gamamaru walked in with slightly unsteady steps.
"It's Gamamaru..."
Manji slowly lowered his hand from his brow and looked up at Gamamaru, who was walking quickly towards him.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
Wanci asked in a calm and gentle tone:
In his memory, Gamamaru had always been meticulous and composed in the face of adversity, and he had not seen him in such a state of disarray for a long time.
"Teacher, I dreamt about it! I dreamt about..."
Gamamaru walked quickly to Manji, stopped, and was still panting heavily.
Wan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and patiently asked, "What did you dream about? Tell me slowly, there's no rush."
As he spoke, Wanci carefully examined the toad-shaped pill in front of him, a thought quietly rising in his mind.
The toad-like figure before me was no longer the agile and nimble youth he once was. Time had left deep marks on him; his body looked enormous, but in reality, he was old and frail, his movements were somewhat sluggish, and even his spirit was far less vigorous than before.
"Is this toad pill really going to cause Alzheimer's again...?"
Wanci secretly plotted in his heart that he had to find a way to help Gamamaru stabilize his condition, delay aging, and maintain his youthful physique.
I remember that in the original timeline, by the time Jiraiya lived, Gamamaru was already old and frail, his memories were becoming hazy, and he was often in a daze.
(Note: There is also a theory that Gamamaru deliberately pretended to be stupid and have a bad memory in order to amuse those people. This is also hinted at in the original work. Shima once complained, "Is it fun to play these tricks every time?" She obviously knew that Gamamaru was pretending to be stupid.)
Suppress the thoughts in my heart.
Manji refocused his attention on Gamamaru.
Gamamaru took a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid breathing, and looked up at Manji, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious: "Sensei, this is a major event! This is a matter of utmost importance!"
"I dreamt of a cataclysmic change that would affect the entire ninja world!"
Upon hearing this, Wanci's originally calm brows furrowed slightly, and a ripple stirred in his heart.
A major upheaval in the ninja world?
His first thought was of the legend of the Child of Prophecy. According to the original plot, the Child of Prophecy should have been Naruto.
But the situation is completely different now. The ninja world has been peaceful for a thousand years, and he personally oversees it. Naruto is just a part of the thousand-year agreement and has no chance or need for him to launch the so-called ninja world reform.
Could it be Boruto?
The so-called children of humanity?
But then I thought about it again, and that was completely wrong, since Otsutsuki Isshiki was already dead.
Even if other Otsutsuki clan members dared to invade, he would step in to deal with them, and the invasion would not affect the entire ninja world or cause a major upheaval.
Despite having many guesses in his heart, Manji remained calm on the surface. He looked at Gamamaru with concern and said in a deep voice, "Don't rush. Tell me the details. Tell me everything you saw and heard in your dream, word for word."
Gamamaru frowned, trying hard to recall the scene in his dream. His eyes were full of shock as he slowly said, "Teacher, in my dream, there was a person whose face I couldn't see. He was shrouded in a layer of mist, and I couldn't tell who he was or where he came from."
"But that person held a sword in his hand, a black sword. He roamed the mortal world with the long sword in his hand, killing wherever he went. The entire mortal world underwent a cruel purge, with blood flowing everywhere and the land devastated. It looked particularly tragic."
"Strangely enough, after this catastrophe, the overall situation on Earth actually improved..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Immortal Hall fell into a deathly silence.
Wanci's originally calm expression instantly turned serious, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Wan didn't rush to ask further questions; instead, he slowly raised his eyes, his gaze subtly glancing upwards...
It landed on the Six Paths Sword hanging in the center of the ceiling of the Immortal Hall.
The sword stood silently, its blade gleaming with a faint celestial light. Its body was ancient and heavy, its sharpness still restrained after a thousand years. Now, amidst the swirling pine smoke in the hall, it inexplicably exuded a sense of solemnity.
"A man wielding a black sword, rampaging through the world, slaughtering his way through..."
Wanci slowly raised his hand, his fingertips gently stroking his chin, his gaze still fixed on the Six Paths Sword, his mind racing with thoughts.
This mysterious person had no specific appearance, and his characteristics of wielding a black sword and killing indiscriminately alone were too vague to be easily identified.
He meticulously searched his mind for all the people in the ninja world who matched these traits, and after several rounds of elimination, only Uchiha Sasuke and Boruto were the most fitting.
But upon further reflection, Wanci shook his head.
These two individuals have not yet been born, and the ninja world is currently in a state of "peace," so there is no opportunity for them to appear, and this lead has been cut off instantly.
Who could it be? It's so hard to guess...
Wanci withdrew his gaze from the Six Paths Sword.
Manji looked again at Gamamaru, whose expression remained tense, and slowly asked, "Gamamaru, when do you expect this dream to happen? Do you have a general idea of the timeframe?"
Gamamaru's predictions have always been accurate. When it comes to a major upheaval concerning the life and death of the ninja world, the timeline is a crucial clue that he must figure out.
"Teacher, I don't know. There's no clear timeframe. It could be in the distant future, or it could happen right now."
Gamamaru gently shook his head, his voice low and resolute.
"I see..."
Wan Ci nodded slightly, said nothing more, and simply turned around, pacing back and forth in the Immortal Hall with light steps.
As he paced back and forth, he repeatedly considered the various possibilities of the prophecy in his mind, trying to find clues from Gamamaru's vague description.
to be frank
Wanci had already figured out who that person was.
That person has the strength to sweep across the ninja world, and also has the motive to do so.
"Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it later."
Manji looked at Gamamaru and said.
Upon hearing this, Gamamaru showed a slight hint of surprise, but immediately nodded.
"Gamamaru, your dreams are getting more and more amazing."
Before leaving, Manji said something meaningful to Gamamaru.
Gamamaru paused slightly. Wasn't he always dreaming about these things?
Just then, the Tailed Beasts started "calling" Manji again.
He frowned slightly and silently refused.
