Hyōjin wasn't surprised by the fact that Naruto mastered Sage Jutsu, but the fact that Naruto learned Sage Jutsu from the Ryuchi Cave surprised him.
Although the three Holy Lands of the Shinobi World are called Holy Lands, the one who has the deepest involvement in the affairs of the Shinobi World has always been Mount Myoboku.
In the past, when the two brothers rebelled against their mother Kaguya's cruel rule, it was actually the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku who secretly guided them. It can be said that the birth of the shinobi world and even the origin of shinobi is inseparable from the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku.
In the following thousand years, the Great Toad Sage never stopped paying attention to the Shinobi World.
Especially at the critical moment when the Shinobi World was about to usher in a revolution, the Great Toad Sage deliberately created a coincidence and sent the righteous Jiraiya to Mount Myoboku. With the help of Jiraiya, the Great Toad Sage searched all over the Shinobi World for the key person who can decide the future of the Shinobi World, the Child of the Prophecy.
At that time, the real Child of the Prophecy, Naruto, wasn't even born yet!
From this, it can be seen that Mount Myoboku has always been paying attention to the Shinobi World, and it can even be said that he has been influencing the Shinobi World.
Now that the Child of the Prophecy, Naruto, has become a disciple of the White Snake Sage of the Ryuchi Cave, with Mount Myoboku's habit of interfering in the affairs of the Shinobi World, regardless of whether or not the Great Toad Sage has confirmed that Naruto is the Child of the Prophecy, he will be eagerly looking for a new spokesperson, a spokesperson who can help Mount Myoboku continue to exert its influence in the Shinobi World.
And this is an opportunity for Ningci, because this kind of use is mutual.
While Mount Myoboku is using a spokesperson to exert its influence in the Shinobi World, being chosen as a spokesperson by Mount Myoboku also means that he has the full support of Mount Myoboku.
It was the same for Jiraiya and Naruto in the original space and time.
After straightening out his thoughts, Hyōjin smiled at Ningci and said: "Go back and prepare first. I will fight for a chance to enter Mount Myoboku for you in the near future. As for whether you can pass the test and obtain the recognition of the Great Toad Sage, that will depend on you."
Ningci's eyes reddened and he said emotionally, "Teacher, thank you!"
Hyōjin casually waved his hand. "Silly boy, there's no need to be so polite with me. I just hope that you can understand that if you want to control your own fate, you have to fight for it!"
Ningci nodded and left the principal's office in excitement.
Early the next morning, Hyōjin took the time to look for Jiraiya and told him the purpose of his visit.
After listening to Hyōjin's request, Jiraiya was a little surprised, "Why do you want me to take Ningci to Mount Myoboku?"
Hyōjin smiled and explained, "Naruto not only learned Senjutsu in the Ryuchi Cave, but he also signed a contract with a summoning beast like Xin Ya. This greatly stimulated the children in the school. So, Ningci specifically came to me, hoping to get a summoning beast like Xin Ya. But Xin Ya came from the Ryuchi Cave, which is very rare in the Shinobi World, so I thought of Mount Myoboku."
Jiraiya nodded.
He has always been paying attention to Naruto, so he is very clear about the sensation that Naruto caused in the village after he showed Xin Ya in the actual combat drill.
Seeing that Jiraiya was silent, Hyōjin calmly asked, "Can I?"
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Jiraiya finally agreed, "Well, the village owes you a favor for the last time, and this time I will return it to you on behalf of the old man."
If it was someone else, Jiraiya would never agree so easily.
There are thousands of Muye ninjas, but Jiraiya only taught the inheritance of Mount Myoboku to his direct disciple, Naruto, Four Generations. He didn't even teach Kakashi, who is considered as his grand disciple.
One can imagine how cautious Jiraiya is in selecting the successor of Mount Myoboku.
The reason why he can't say no to Suijin this time is because Suijin risked his life to test the Akatsuki members and successfully scared them away during the actual combat exercise. Suijin's actions are not that simple.
In Jiraiya's view, it is because of Hyōjin's decisiveness that the village was not ravaged by the flames of war.
But this matter involves Amatsukami and Akatsuki, so it is not convenient to make it public in the village. Therefore, Three Generations Naruto can't find a suitable reason to reward Hyōjin, so Naruto owes Hyōjin a big favor for this matter.
Seeing that Jiraiya agreed, Hyōjin smiled and said, "Thank you so much!"
"You don't have to thank me so quickly. I can only promise you that I'll give Neji a chance. As for whether he can find a suitable spiritual beast in Mount Myoboku, that's not up to me to decide." Jiraiya's tone changed to that of a business-like one.
Hyōjin nodded in understanding.
Jiraiya continued, "I promised you this time only to reward you on behalf of the village for dealing with the infiltration of the Akatsuki members. So, you can still go back on your words, because once I bring Ningci to Mount Myoboku, the village will not give you any other reward."
Hyōjin smiled, "Then I will have to trouble you with Ningci."
Seeing that Hyōjin has no intention of going back on his words, Jiraiya nodded and said, "Okay, tell Ningci to get ready and wait for my notice in the next two days."
At noon, Hyōjin told Ningci about this news, and told Ningci to rest for the next two days to deal with the test he might encounter in Mount Myoboku.
In the evening, Hizashi suddenly paid a visit to Seiji.
After welcoming Richa into the house, Hyōjin casually asked, "What's wrong, what's the matter?"
Richa had a look of gratitude on his face as he said to Hyōjin, "I heard from Ningci that you fought for a precious chance to go to Mount Myoboku to look for a summon beast."
Hyōjin poured a cup of tea for Richa and said, "I am Ningci's teacher, this is what I should do."
"Letting Ningci take you as his teacher is indeed the best decision I have ever made!" After sighing with emotion, Hizashi continued, "But you were still too reckless at the family meeting yesterday, which put the elders of the Zong Family in a very awkward position. After the meeting, the elders said that they would punish you severely."
Hyōjin grinned and said, "If they really dared to, they wouldn't have said those words."
Naturally, Richa understood this as well. With a light laugh, he pointed at the Caged Bird Curse Mark on his forehead and said, "However, we are still a branch family, after all. It's better not to make things too awkward with the Zong Clan."
Hyōjin glanced at Richa and said, "Don't tell me you want me to apologize to those elders?"
"If you knew how to apologize, you wouldn't have made a move yesterday." After shaking his head with a bitter smile, Richa said, "It's like this. After the Zong Clan found out that you fought for a chance to go to Mount Myoboku for Ningci, they hoped to bring Hinata along to try their luck. However, the elders of the Zong Clan were just beaten up by you, and they couldn't bring themselves to do it, so …"
Hyōjin smiled and continued, "So they sent you to be the lobbyist?"
