While smacking the surface of Sasuke's words, he nodded in agreement.

Chapter 249 Kirigakure’s request

"Hey! Let's go first."

I don't know how long Neji will linger, Uchiha Sasuke said hello, and then left here with Kakashi, no longer watching this boring human love drama.

On the way, Kakashi also said that there were other things to do.

The two said a brief goodbye, and then finally Uchiha Sasuke was left alone.

Country of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage Building.

As soon as they entered the building, everyone was equally surprised to see Uchiha Sasuke returning.

He walked forward enthusiastically and sincerely, greeting Sasuke one by one.

Fortunately, every ninja in the building has his or her own job to do.

Due to the influence, it didn't develop as exaggeratedly as it did on the street just now.

Then, Sasuke climbed up the stairs.

Just as he walked up the stairs and turned into the corridor.

But he saw a brown-clothed ninja with a ninja hat on his head walking out of the Hokage's office in front of him, looking like he was worried about something.

From the outside, this person looked nothing like a ninja from Konoha, but for some reason, Uchiha Sasuke just felt that he looked very familiar.

While he was thinking, this person had already walked up to Sasuke.

As they passed by, the man suddenly smiled and nodded, politely greeted Sasuke, and said lightly:

"Long time no see, Uchiha Sasuke."

Uchiha Sasuke froze on the spot and was about to ask, but the man kept walking and continued to move forward. He had already walked down the stairs and left.

His attitude is not as enthusiastic as others.

There was no trace of surprise at Sasuke's return. It could be said that it was a "nodding acquaintance" in the true sense.

While searching his memory, Uchiha Sasuke knocked on the door with a heavy heart and walked into the Hokage's office.

".I told you, now is really not a good time, you."

Behind the desk, Jiraiya was wearing the Hokage God's robe, and there were piles of various documents in front of him, large and small.

His eyes were fixed on the words on the document, and he read and understood the contents quickly. His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, showing that he was thinking and judging the contents of the document seriously.

Jiraiya held a pen in his right hand, signing or marking on different documents from time to time, while his left hand kept moving through the pile of documents.

Sometimes he picks up a new document, and sometimes he throws the already processed documents aside, looking very busy.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Jiraiya naturally assumed that it was the brown-clothed ninja who had left before, so he patiently gave him perfunctory advice without even looking up.

However, there was no reply from the other party.

Jiraiya then raised his head, and what came into view was a black-haired boy with a long history.

Jiraiya stopped all his movements instantly, staring blankly at Uchiha Sasuke standing at the door, unable to speak for a long time.

"Master Toad."

Uchiha Sasuke bowed somewhat stiffly and greeted his mentor.

After meeting again after a long absence, Sasuke felt uncomfortable all over - he could never cope well with situations like this.

"Why don't you let the contact frog inform you in advance?"

Jiraiya stood up with a laugh, walked around the desk to the front, pulled Uchiha Sasuke, looked left and right, and looked his disciple up and down.

"Not hurt?"

Jiraiya took Uchiha Sasuke around and asked suspiciously.

Obviously, he also knew everything that happened in the Sunagakure Ninja Village.

"We just met, why would you ask that?"

Uchiha Sasuke felt dumbfounded.

"No, what's going on with you?"

Jiraiya smiled intimately, lowered his voice, pulled Uchiha Sasuke to sit on the sofa beside him, moved a stool for himself, and asked closer.

"When Might Guy told me, I was really shocked. Now, the whole village is talking about my wisdom and bravery, what are you doing?"

Jiraiya asked with a smile:

"Isn't he undercover next to Orochimaru? Why did he go to Sunagakure again later?"

"Uh. Well, this is a bit of a long story."

Uchiha Sasuke didn't know how to explain to his master. He paused and quickly changed the subject and asked:

"That one just now was Kirigakure's ninja, right?

"If I remember correctly, it should be called 'Bi'?"

Through the talent search of "Eternal Memory", Uchiha Sasuke finally retrieved the face from his mind and asked curiously:

"Why did he come to Konoha?"

"Ah, yes. Have you met him?"

Jiraiya didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't react for a while.

He stood up again and asked while talking.

"Ah, I seemed to have seen him last year when I went to Kirigakure to participate in a diplomatic mission."

Uchiha Sasuke replied.

On this side, Jiraiya has been busy since Sasuke came in.

At this time, he went to pour water for Sasuke and himself.

The moment he heard "Kirigakure Diplomatic Mission", Jiraiya froze, and in his heart, he couldn't help but think of Nara Shikaku again.

"Well, that's it. Alas."

Jiraiya sat back on the stool again, handed the water glass to Sasuke, and took a sip of water.

There was no answer, but just a sigh.

"what happened?"

Seeing his master's appearance, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but feel more curious, and asked while drinking water.

"The Kirigakure ninja village was destroyed."

Jiraiya placed the water glass gently on the coffee table and said seriously.

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke's movements suddenly stopped and his heart was shocked.

After a long while, he slowly swallowed the water in his mouth.

In the past few days, Sasuke and the others had indeed heard sporadic rumors on their way.

This news was not the first time Sasuke had heard.

However, Sasuke had also heard a lot of rumors that were more exaggerated or completely contrary to this.

Therefore, after Jiraiya clearly learned about the current situation of the ninja world, Sasuke felt very shocked.

"Yes, Orochimaru?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked slowly.

"Yes."

Jiraiya nodded, with a complicated expression.

"What about those ninjas in Kirigakure?"

Sasuke continued to ask.

The faces of Terumi Mei, Chojuro, Gonbei, Ao and other ninjas appeared one by one in Uchiha Sasuke's mind.

"Most of them were killed or injured."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice:

"The ordinary chuunin and genin groups died, escaped, and were captured in large numbers. It can be said that the entire army was annihilated.

“The elite team also lost about 70%.

"One of Kirigakure's core leaders, Elder Yuanshi, unfortunately died of illness during the escape due to his old age.

"The Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei was also seriously injured and escaped with a small number of elite guards.

“Now, in exile within our Country of Fire, she and a team of less than twenty people are temporarily living in Tanshu City.

"This is the last remaining force of Kirigakure Ninja Village."

On this side, listening to Jiraiya's calm narration, Sasuke felt his scalp tingling.

In just one month, the village known as one of the five major ninja villages was reduced to ashes.

In this process, it is also self-evident how many people died.

In the silence, Jiraiya continued to say:

"On Terumi Mei's side, Tsunade has already treated her. The Fifth Mizukage's life is now in good condition.

"It's a pity that after losing all the elites, the Kirigakure Ninja Village has ceased to exist in name only.

"You just saw that the Hidden Mist Ninja Aoi came here to represent the Fifth Mizukage's position and ask Konoha to help him complete the war of restoration.

"Oh, how can it be so easy?"

Speaking of this, Jiraiya sighed deeply again, with a look of exhaustion on his brows.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at his master in front of him and felt that after just half a year, Jiraiya seemed to have aged a lot.
