Suddenly, an indescribable sadness surged into Uchiha Sasuke's heart.
Just listen to him say:
"It's all my fault. If I had stayed with Orochimaru and sent the information back as soon as possible."
"It's not about intelligence."
Jiraiya waved his hand, immediately interrupted Uchiha Sasuke's words, and said:
"The destruction of the Kirigakure Ninja Village was no longer a situation that could be saved by intelligence. At that time, the two sides were actually facing each other openly.
"On the second day after the Kumogakure army confronted us at the border of the Land of Fire, information about Orochimaru's shipbuilding operations was reported back on the northern island.
"Then the Seven Netherworlds headed to Kirigakure, and the Patriotic War in Kirigakure Ninja Village lasted for a full fourteen days."
Jiraiya's eyes were wandering, as if he had returned to that time again, and he said slowly:
"At that time, our main force in Konoha had been completely restrained by the Kumogakure Ninja Village. The support troops that could be sent to Kirigakure ended up with most of them dead and wounded, which proved to be a drop in the bucket.
"In this kind of battle situation, even if I knew Orochimaru's plan a day or two earlier, I'm afraid it wouldn't really be able to change the current outcome."
After a pause, Jiraiya forced a smile and said:
"Besides, if you continue to stay with Orochimaru, I don't know what the outcome will be for Sunagakure Ninja Village."
Uchiha Sasuke remained silent.
Looking at Jiraiya like this, he only wished he could join Konoha's work immediately and share some of the burden on his master's shoulders.
"Hey, let's not talk about this for now! You just came back today, and we still have plenty of time in the future.
"Look at my brain, you must be hungry, right? Go home!"
"Well, I'm not that hungry."
On this side, Uchiha Sasuke still felt a little heavy.
But on the other side, Jiraiya didn't listen to Sasuke's response at all.
He patted his thigh, propped himself up and stood up, then shouted loudly:
"Genma! Go and ask for Butler Saito, Sasuke is back!
"I want him to make more of Sasuke's favorite things! Let's go home right now!"
Outside the door, after hearing the summons, Shiranui Genma pushed the door open and entered.
After seeing Uchiha Sasuke, his eyes also shone and he hurriedly responded.
Then he retreated with excitement on his face and trotted away.
"Look, everyone likes you now."
Jiraiya looked at Genjian Shiranui's back and spoke softly to the disciples around him.
"Hey, Teacher Metkai, I don't know how to add fuel to the fire. It must be too exaggerated."
Hearing his master's praise, Uchiha Sasuke said embarrassedly.
"No, it's not."
Jiraiya said seriously:
"Now, everyone's heart is weighed down with a heavy haze. No one really knows when a brutal war will suddenly break out.
"In this situation, hope is more precious than gold."
After a pause, Jiraiya turned to look at Uchiha Sasuke and said solemnly:
"And as a younger generation, in everyone's eyes, you are hope itself."
Uchiha Sasuke was stunned.
Then, an unprecedented strength emerged from the bottom of my heart.
That is the power of carrying the expectations and destinies of others.
It is both a responsibility and an energy source that generates new momentum.
The feeling was similar to the moment when he promised Tenten that he would "definitely bring Neji back", but it was much stronger.
He nodded solemnly and said no more.
"go home!"
Jiraiya smiled and strode out the door.
"Then, your job."
Uchiha Sasuke turned his head to look at the pile of documents on his desk and asked hesitantly.
He originally thought that he didn't want to delay his master's work.
After all, these are still extraordinary times.
"Work? Work is nothing!"
Jiraiya said impatiently.
It was as if he had turned back into that bold and unrestrained wanderer again.
-
Konoha, home of the Hokage.
Looking at the table full of familiar delicacies, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but feel in a good mood.
Although, Sasuke is not a glutton.
But in the past month or so, he has been on the road, filling his stomach with rice balls or other dry food all day long, and he really hasn't eaten anything good.
My stomach, which was not very hungry at first, could not help but start to growl in front of the table full of delicious food.
Even though he was not polite, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating happily.
Jiraiya sat opposite him, watching Sasuke eat with a smile, and suddenly said:
"There really isn't anything delicious over there with Orochimaru, right?
“Have you been eating frogs or mice all day long?
"Oh, I really don't know how you survive."
"Master Toad, it's called Orochimaru, but it's not a real snake."
Uchiha Sasuke's mouth was full.
While chatting and laughing with Jiraiya, I felt the long-lost intimacy and warmth.
At this moment, Sasuke felt extremely relaxed and happy from the bottom of his heart.
The familiarity of home allowed him to let go of all his defenses and fatigue, as if he had returned to that carefree childhood.
"Where's Naruto? Why don't you see him at home?"
Halfway through eating, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly realized that something was missing and couldn't help but ask.
"He."
After mentioning Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya, who was still smiling, suddenly turned dark and said coldly:
"How many times have I told him that Wind Release and Spiral Shuriken are forbidden techniques and forbidden techniques, but he just refuses to listen and insists on showing off his strength!
"While in Sunagakure, Shizune could tell at a glance that something was wrong. When he returned to the village, Tsunade diagnosed him personally, and finally concluded that Naruto's right hand had multiple fractures and meridian damage.
"If he continues to use that technique, Naruto's meridians will be completely destroyed, and then he will no longer be able to gather chakra. What did Tsunade say?"
Jiraiya thought for a moment, then followed suit, imitating Tsunade's example.
I saw him comically puffing up his chest, crossing his arms, and said seriously:
"If the cells are separated from the meridian system, even I will be powerless."
The next second, Jiraiya returned to his normal self, waving his arms and complaining loudly:
"Do you understand?
"Not even Tsunade can save him!"
Ah, is it that serious?
Uchiha Sasuke's heart moved.
Recalling Naruto's appearance at that time, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It seems that the boy is not all pretending.
At the same time, Sasuke also had a further refreshed understanding of the power of Naruto's new technique.
"So, he is in Konoha Hospital now?"
Uchiha Sasuke put down his chopsticks and asked.
Jiraiya nodded, and then said casually:
"Just eat! He'll be fine."
After a pause, Jiraiya seriously advised again:
"You just came back today, take a good bath in a while.
"I have arranged for staff to clean your room in the past two days. Please rest first.
"Naruto, if I know that you are back, I'm afraid you will make a noise and disturb everyone's peace."
However, Sasuke still looked hesitant.
Seeing this, Jiraiya had to say forcefully again:
"Listen to me. Just rest peacefully today, there will be a lot of time in the future.
"Besides, I still have some unfinished work and I want to deal with it at home."
For this reason, Uchiha Sasuke had no choice but to obey his master's instructions and say nothing more.
After eating, Sasuke followed his master's advice honestly.
After washing up, I finally returned to my familiar bedroom.
