Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

Uzumaki Naruto finally couldn't help but protest loudly.

"Hahaha, anyway, the matter of the Hokage position is not decided by me alone.

"There are so many eyes watching you in the village, just keep working hard."

Jiraiya knew that he had teased her a little too much, so he quickly tried to comfort her.

"Okay! I won't lose to you!

"Sasuke!"

Uzumaki Naruto immediately looked like he was excited, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly at Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke sat on the sofa, turned his head to look at the two funny guys beside him, couldn't help but sigh, nodded and said lightly:

"Then, come on."

Seeing that Jiraiya and the others were going to continue making noise, Uchiha Sasuke immediately asked:

"Who's going to wash the dishes today?

"Please clean up after you finish eating. I can't stand you sloppy guys."

Beside him, the two were stunned. Just as Jiraiya was about to speak, Uzumaki Naruto immediately pretended to be miserable and said:

"My lecherous sage, my hand hasn't fully healed yet, and the medical ninja told me not to touch water."

"Stop talking nonsense! I saw that you were fine when you were snatching the chicken leg just now."

Listening to the familiar noisy voices of the two, Uchiha Sasuke smiled.

Just as I was about to lean back on the sofa and close my eyes to rest, I heard Jiraiya's serious voice:

"It's just right that you're back. We still need to meet again regarding the follow-up arrangements for the Hyuga clan. There are a few things I need to confirm with you."

"Huh? Okay."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke immediately stood up.

On the side, when Uzumaki Naruto heard about these official documents, he felt sleepy.

He didn't stay any longer and went to wash the dishes reluctantly.

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke followed Master Gama into the study and closed the door. Jiraiya immediately asked:

"Have you paid attention to Neji? What's his mental state like?"

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned at first, and then he recalled Neci's "sadness" about having no home.

I briefly explained the situation to the master and gave my own opinion:

"Ningji looks serious on weekdays, but in fact, he is a very emotional person.

"Now, I went to look for Tiantian as soon as possible. I may not have the plans that you, Master, are worried about in my head.

“At least, there won’t be any now.

“As for the follow-up, if the people of the Hyuga clan can be sensible and not actively provoke him.

“I don’t think there will be any problems in the short term.”

After listening to Uchiha Sasuke's answer, Jiraiya nodded slowly.

After a pause, he still said worriedly:

“In short, as I said before, now is definitely not a good time, with all the internal and external troubles.

“You need to pay more attention to Hyuga Neji and talk to him regularly. You two are good friends anyway.

"I reiterate once again that I have no intention of actively igniting this old explosive before peace is restored in the ninja world."

"I see."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and said nothing more.

"The biggest hidden danger in this matter right now is Neji's instability."

Jiraiya said bluntly:

"In the current game situation, although Neji is alone, with your support, the Hyuga clan is actually at a disadvantage.

"Your threat has already been made, and the people of the Zong family will definitely not be stupid enough to take the initiative to trigger this incident.

"But they will definitely feel dissatisfied and uneasy."

Chapter 277 Life, priceless?

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and continued listening.

He knew that Jiraiya had taken the initiative to mention the psychological demands of the Hyuga clan, and began to think and speak from the perspective of that group of people.

I guess Master Toad must have some ideas in his mind, waiting to be said.

However, Jiraiya did not continue, but suddenly changed the subject and talked about something else.

"The ninjas of the Nara clan have always been good at strategy, have great insight, and are familiar with government affairs and human nature.

"In the past hundred years, among the tribe members, the former tribe leader, Nara Shikaku, who has already died in battle, is a rare outstanding person."

Jiraiya's voice was low, as if he was lost in memories and remembrance of his dead subordinates.

Affected by this, Uchiha Sasuke's expression and mood couldn't help but become gloomy.

He just sighed and asked:

“To be honest, I still can’t understand it.

"Why does Uncle Shikaku have to enter the Kumogakure Ninja Village? Obviously..."

"Mingming, your information has been delivered, right?"

Jiraiya took the initiative to speak for Uchiha Sasuke.

"Yes."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded and continued:

"Regarding the death of Uncle Shikaku, I have specifically read the document report written by Nara Suzaku on the incident.

"I also understand that Uncle Shikaku wants to use the envoy's life as a bargaining chip to force the Fourth Raikage to make a 'choose one of two' route decision in order to pursue the slim possibility of peace.

"Even if it is not possible, we can still sacrifice the lives of our envoys and die in the Hidden Cloud Village, thereby gaining a moral advantage in future wars.

"I understand all these principles, but..."

Uchiha Sasuke hesitated to speak.

I don't know whether I should just say what I really think.

“It’s just that you feel that Shikaku’s death was a bit too wasteful.

"At that time, a relatively more 'unworthy' guy should have died, right?"

Jiraiya knew his disciples very well.

His tone was still kind, but the expression on his face couldn't help but become slightly gloomy.

Uchiha Sasuke lowered his head and said nothing.

Although Jiraiya's words were harsh, they did reflect what Sasuke was thinking.

Obviously, just as Master Toad said before.

Since the founding of Konoha, Nara Shikaku has indeed been the most outstanding talent among the Nara clan.

Based on its strategic characteristics, it has irreplaceable and important value to the entire Konoha.

However, he died because of such a thing.

From the perspective of cost-effectiveness of input and output, it is really a pity.

Seeing his disciple fall silent, Jiraiya suppressed the extra emotions in his heart and said patiently:

"Rationally speaking, Nara Shikaku previously had a relatively good relationship with the Raikage.

"If you want to maximize the chances of peace and make the Raikage really choose to end his cooperation with Orochimaru.

"He went, it was the only option at the time."

"But."

Uchiha Sasuke was about to say something, but Jiraiya decisively interrupted him and continued in a deep voice:

"Yes, in the end, the war still broke out. However, we cannot deny Shikaku's value.

"Two months ago, when the Kumogakure army confronted us at the border of the Land of Fire, Shikaku's death greatly boosted our morale and had a visible impact on the enemy's morale."

"I understand all of this."

Uchiha Sasuke argued helplessly.

"I don't really want to discuss with you whether the strategy is rational or not. Let me just ask you one question.

"What do you mean by 'someone more deserving of death'?

"Does human life have a high or low status?"

Jiraiya stared closely at Uchiha Sasuke's face.

The latter lowered his head, looking silent.

Just as Jiraiya was about to continue speaking, Uchiha Sasuke looked up again.

He stared into his master's eyes indifferently and asked slowly but firmly:

"Why, then, there is none?"

-

"Why not?"

While Uchiha Sasuke was talking to Jiraiya, on the east coast of the continent, in the Land of Frost.
