"I am leaving, but I will return sooner or later."
Finally, Minamikawa Yuu spoke to his family before him: "I hope that when that day comes, you can give me a surprise."
"Hagoromo, Hamura."
He called out the names of the two children: "This country will be handed over to you from now on."
"I hope you can take over this cause and treat it well."
"We will."
The Hagoromo Brothers nodded seriously: "We will treat the country and its people with care until the day you return, Father."
"Then I can rest easy."
Minamikawa Yuu nodded, and then changed the subject: "So, what about your mother?"
"What are your thoughts?"
He asked while Kaguya was away.
"Mother..."
Hearing Minamikawa Yuu's words, Hagoromo and Hamura fell into silence, not knowing what to say at that moment.
Minamikawa Yuu saw their thoughts through their silence and could only sigh helplessly.
"After all, you have grown up. Do whatever you want to do from now on."
"I have only one request for you."
He looked at Hagoromo and Hamura before him, his expression solemn: "If one day in the future, you and your mother have a conflict again, I don't ask you not to act, I only hope you don't go too far."
"Letting her stay peacefully in the palace is enough; there's no need to overdo it."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
He spoke with a solemn expression.
The reason he specifically made this arrangement was because, in the original storyline, Kaguya's ending was far too tragic.
After being defeated by her own children, she was sealed within the moon, remaining in lonely silence for thousands of years.
Just thinking about such an experience was torturous.
And this was something Minamikawa Yuu could not accept.
As his wife, he could tolerate Kaguya being defeated, but he could not accept such a miserable ending.
Especially since the ones who did all this were not strangers, but his own two children.
Precisely because he knew this outcome, Minamikawa Yuu made a point to give these instructions.
"We understand."
Meeting Minamikawa Yuu's gaze, Hagoromo and Hamura glanced at each other and then nodded, giving their promise.
Only then did Minamikawa Yuu breathe a sigh of relief.
"I want to meet the Great Toad Sage who stands behind you."
Before leaving, Minamikawa Yuu expressed his wish to meet the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku.
Hagoromo and Hamura naturally wouldn't refuse this request and immediately agreed.
That night, the Great Toad Sage came to the palace of the Land of Ancestors to meet with Minamikawa Yuu.
This was the first time Minamikawa Yuu had seen the Great Toad Sage.
In his view, this Great Toad Sage seemed unusual; although he looked like an ordinary toad, his size was quite massive, and his wisdom appeared extraordinary as well.
"Are you the Great Toad Sage?"
Minamikawa Yuu looked at the Great Toad Sage before him, a look of curiosity in his eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Facing Minamikawa Yuu, the Great Toad Sage's expression was respectful as he spoke: "I heard you wished to see me?"
"Yes."
Minamikawa Yuu nodded: "I heard you have the ability to prophesy the future, so I wanted to ask you something."
"What will my future be like?"
"Your Majesty's future is something my ability cannot fathom."
The Great Toad Sage shook his head: "This so-called foresight is merely seeing countless possibilities of the future in dreams; it is far from being a true prophet, and it is impossible to know everything that will happen."
"And in my dreams, Your Majesty does not exist."
"You mean, you cannot see my future?"
Minamikawa Yuu was thoughtful.
"Yes."
The Great Toad Sage nodded: "In fact, the current future is already different from what I foresaw in my dreams."
"In my dream, your wife should have already been sealed by Hagoromo."
"But at this moment, your wife is still perfectly fine and has not been sealed."
Hearing this, Minamikawa Yuu fell silent, pondering something in his heart.
The main reason he wanted to see the Great Toad Sage was to witness the other's capabilities.
In the original story, although the other's presence wasn't high, he played a massive role at many critical moments.
Without his guidance, Hagoromo and Hamura could not have grown so quickly and gained the power to contend with Kaguya.
In the future, without his prophecy, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, would also have been unable to embark on the journey to find the so-called Child of Prophecy.
Minamikawa Yuu was quite curious about such an existence that, while not having a strong presence, had been exerting influence, so he specifically came to meet him before leaving.
Upon meeting, he found that the other's ability didn't seem as powerful as imagined.
At least for an outsider like Minamikawa Yuu, the other was unable to foresee him and had simply overlooked him.
"Regarding Kaguya, I have already given my instructions."
Minamikawa Yuu spoke softly: "After this, the authority over the God Tree will be transferred to Hagoromo and Hamura."
"I believe that under their control, the growth rate of the God Tree can be reasonably managed, so it won't be like before."
Planting the God Tree was necessary for them, a point that even Hagoromo and Hamura understood.
However, as long as the growth speed of the God Tree was controlled, allowing the rate at which it plundered Natural Energy to slow down, many things could be mitigated, and the situation wouldn't be as tense as it was now.
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing Minamikawa Yuu's words, the Great Toad Sage nodded and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
The restoration of Natural Energy in the Ninja World was very important for sacred lands like Mount Myōboku.
Because the very existence of these sacred lands like Mount Myōboku relied on Natural Energy.
If the Natural Energy in the entire world were absorbed completely, not only would the world be destroyed, but sacred lands like Mount Myōboku would also collapse and eventually face extinction.
It was precisely for this reason that the Great Toad Sage sought out the Hagoromo Brothers, in order to avoid this outcome.
"I am very interested in the Senjutsu cultivation of Mount Myōboku. Can you give me a copy of the secrets recorded within?"
Minamikawa Yuu continued.
Obtaining the Senjutsu inheritance of Mount Myōboku was his second purpose for meeting the Great Toad Sage.
He had already obtained a copy of similar Senjutsu inheritances from Hagoromo and Hamura, which were versions they had each summarized.
But the Senjutsu inheritances they summarized might not necessarily be suitable for Minamikawa Yuu.
After all, their foundations were too high, and the Sage Mode they eventually cultivated had even higher requirements for practitioners.
Minamikawa Yuu might not be able to meet those conditions.
Relatively speaking, the original version of the Senjutsu inheritance was more suitable for Minamikawa Yuu.
After all, theoretically, even an ordinary person could learn this stuff.
