Listen & Read

As Kano made sure his student's were ok after their spill from Gumpta's mouth they would sit and wait for the old wise great toad sage, but the wait wouldn't be long. Braziers that were placed all around the temple they were standing in front of would all of a sudden ignite and flames would soon flow from tips flickering around as flames normally do once made, getting their attention putting them in a semi-trance like state as the flames caught their attention for a brief moment. Kano would snap out of it after a few seconds of curiosity and look back towards the temple and the throne that stood directly in front of the group gathered upon Mount Myoboku and the huge figure that was the great toad sage that led the creatures of this land with his wisdom and knack of fruition. His eye's closed per usual as they never really seemed to ever be opened, the great toad sage would be puffing from an ornate swirling pipe that draped from his lips as he exhaled the smoke that was produced from the pipe through his rather large nostrils creating large clouds as it spread out into the area the group was standing spreading and created a screen of sorts.

What seemed like an overexaggeration of smoking from the great toad soon went from vague smokiness to a moving motion picture before their eyes. Kano would feel as if he were in a euphoric state dreaming as he breathed in the smoke the toad kept exuding from his nostril's, the smell of baked apple filling his own nostril's as he watched the vision play out in front of himself. A voice would quietly enter the scene describing what was going on in correlation to the vision going on. At first it seemed like everything was fine as it showed  a beautiful lush forest where several animals were set in a peaceful scene meditating together in harmony all bearing a special mark of the sage, but as the vision went on the worse it got. The vision would zoom in behind the peaceful group of animals as a darkness would roll into the scene smoke rolling about viciously as two sinister eyes appeared glowing with hatred. As this new character came closer it's physical being would slowly reveal itself, first its fangs would merge from the darkness long, sharp, and exposed with vicious intent as red venom dripped like  leaky faucet from each one, it  wore a sinister smile just as demented as its eyes. Next it's body would emerge as its head rose just about above the tree's surrounding it as it slowly slithered it's serpentine with scales comparable to spikes moved ever so closer to the peaceful party to infiltrate this serene moment.

Just as it was about to meet these peaceful sages of the forest the dream would take a brief pause as it stopped and the voice of the great toad sage returned echoing through Kano's mind explaining whom the new character in this vision was. He would introduce hteir adversary as the snake emperor, often referred to as the king of snakes and serpentine of nightmares. The toad sage would speak of how he was jealous of the groups power as he could not reach the balance within himself as he was riddled with evil and hateful intent. It was at this time the dream would go back into play as it showed the snake emperor slither his way behind one animal, a raccoon to be exact, as he opened his mouth and slammed forward clamping down on the unsuspecting sage tearing through it like butter before ultimately consuming it and its power and this would happen a few more times before the toad sages voice would re-enter the mind of Kano speaking of how this was the only way he could equal the power of the other sages in the forest, by killing and consuming them to gain the power he ever so craved.

As it showed the venomous villain slaying animals and consuming them, smoke would completely blow through it making way for another vision to roll in, in its place. This vision would show the remaining animals retreating away, leaving only a toad wielding his grand sage staff the only one left standing to fight this diabolical creature by himself, this toad was the great toad sage himself a grand sight to see. The dream ould pause once more freezing the moment of the great toad and snake emperor staring each other eye to readying for the confrontation, again the wie toad's voice would ring through his head once more speaking of how the snake emperor wanted to claim Mount Myoboku for himself, and how the others who fled did not see the value of this place they called home the place where all of whom grew up learning the sage art that this very snake wanted all for himself. The scene would come out of its stoppage to show the two go at it on a grand stage, the snake seemed to have the upper hand but the great toad would not wither or crumble fighting back with all he had.

One particular moment it seemed like the toad sage had been bested, but then emerged from the forest brush surround the serpentine of nightmares a large group of black and white creatures that seemed vague as they rolled in through the smoke before the vision would clear up. Panda's it seemed to be had came to the toad sage's aid to help fight the evil serpent off. Before the panda's could pounce the snake would take a strike directly at the toad connecting with his face, a gruesome sight it was that followed. Both fangs stabbing into his eyes, the shriek of the toad was one, one could not forget once heard as the snake dug as deep as his fang's could before ripping his mouth up. Blood would burst from each socket as both eyes could been seen wedged on both fangs as the king of serpents let out a loud bout of laughter before the horde of panda's managed to chase him off. After the snake had been chased off in the vision it seemed like a large gust of wind had blown through immediately wiping any trace of the smoke that once filled the area decipated in seconds, waking Kano from this euphoric dream as he gathered himself and once again gave his attention to the great toad of Mount Myoboku.

Gamma-Gamma the great toad sage would speak of how he was lucky enough to escape with his life, but what he lost as physical sight he gained back in foresight. Immediately after that statement he warned the group of a grave prophecy about to unfold, this included A savior of the world's desire, A warrior of light who purges all, and He who amidst flames would eradicate all darkness in the world. He would lastly say no sin or shade be spared before he let out an extended sigh, before going on with his explanation of this prophecy. He would warn them whether it was a savior of good or bad this being will reveal itself soon, saying he has a feeling of whom it might be and how there were two on his mind but those names were not meant to be heard by anyone at this time. He would re-itterate how they should never forget the prophecy as chosen or not, big or small part, they all had a part to play in its scheme, BEWARE!

THe toad sage would then go into the meat of the news explaining ho in two days the great snake king and his army would rear their ugly faces in the face of Mount Myoboku and those here to protect it to once again try to take it for himself. He would go on to say they don't have enough warriors to win this fight, and the panda's have not responded to his asking for help giving Kano his first task. The toad sage would call upon Kano to utilize his Flying Thundergod technique to get to the panda forest to the far east of the mountain, leaving his genin behind as he had tasks for them seperately. Kano would bow in respect and agreeance, but as he raised his head would see the great toad struggle as he coughed showing his age and current health condition. Kano would speak out one last time before departing "I will reach these panda's Lord Gamma-Gamma, whether they come or not I will be back and I will fight until this war is won. As far as you two go, listen to everything he says and follow his orders meticulously I will be back. In the meantime use this time to take advantage of their training it will benefit you in the future." he would say as he raised his right hand up to brow level of his head as he motioned his hand forward in a salute before disappearing instantly to another seal he had posted on tree about 60 miles to the east of the mountain where he had traveled with Gumpta during his last extended stay in this land where they traveled to the panda's to meet and greet. This seal was about 5 miles out of the panda's village in the forest, Kano would arrive to the sealed tree he had last seen a little over a year ago as he began his walk forward to the land of pandas "Could I be one of prophecy? There is more to this than I thought..." he would say aloud to himself as he journeyed forward as time was not on his side.
