"What widow?"

Uchiha Sasuke was confused and didn't know what Master Toad was talking about.

"I'll show you something good."

On this side, Jiraiya did not answer directly, but smiled slyly.

I saw him get up and go to the desk, rummaging in the drawer beside him.

Then, he took out a letter and casually handed it to Sasuke.

Sasuke looked down and saw that the outer packaging of the letter was covered with a layer of warm yellow satin.

The color is bright and steady, and is a commonly used symbol color in the Sand Village.

The seal of the envelope had been opened, but the metal seal still remained.

It can be seen that the confidentiality level of this letter is probably extremely high.

He commented coldly:

"Humph, these idiots from Sunagakure.

"That's a good calculation."

"Hey~ You can't say that."

On this side, Jiraiya seemed to have already guessed Sasuke's reaction and said teasingly:

"I think Temari is a really nice kid.

“White skin, beautiful appearance.

“In terms of personality, she is also a likable and cheerful girl.

"Those long legs, those fishnet stockings~

"Oh, tut tut tut.

"It's not a loss to match you."

"How old are you?"

Hearing Jiraiya's increasingly outrageous remarks, Uchiha Sasuke looked at Jiraiya with some disdain and said:

"You can be Temari's grandfather.

"As the Hokage, please be more careful with your words and actions."

"So, I really don't want to be the Hokage."

Jiraiya shook his head and continued jokingly:

"Look, you haven't even gotten married yet, but you're already protecting your wife."

On this side, Jiraiya completely ignored Sasuke's reminder and continued to say with a playful smile:

"Master, this is just to check for you.

"You know, I, your master, have been in the ninja world for decades and have seen countless women!

“If I say something is good-looking, then you can’t go wrong.

"Master Jiraiya carefully selected them, you can rest assured and close your eyes."

"Okay, okay."

Uchiha Sasuke waved his hands helplessly, interrupting his master's evil intentions.

Just now, when Jiraiya was talking nonsense, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly remembered something.

As early as when he was imprisoned in the Shenwei Space, netizens and predecessors had analyzed the principles and applications of "Bie Tianshen" for him.

At that time, the predecessors used the relationship between Shikamaru and Temari as an example to illustrate the three situations of Kotoamatsukami.

Among them, there is also an analysis of an outrageous and extreme scenario, such as the rape of Koharu Utatane.

At that time, Sasuke simply thought that the netizens were just making up examples randomly.

But at the moment, Sasuke has some awareness of matters between men and women, and Temari once lived in Shikamaru's house for a while.

Could it be that.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly realized.

No wonder Shikamaru had been behaving strangely towards me all along the way.

He immediately asked:

"Speaking of which, does Shikamaru know about this?"

"Oh? You also think there's something going on between them?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, expressing a certain amount of surprise and approval at his disciple's rare sensitivity in matters such as feelings.

Without waiting for Sasuke to answer.

Suddenly, there was a series of knocks on the door of the Hokage's office.

The master and disciple looked at each other and immediately took action.

Uchiha Sasuke handed the secret letter to Jiraiya, and then immediately stopped his lazy look.

He stood up and stood respectfully aside.

Jiraiya took the letter and hurried to his desk to put it away.

Then he sat down majestically, coughed lightly, and shouted loudly:

"Come in."

No matter how casually and closely the master and the disciple are with each other, it is still a private matter.

But in front of outsiders, one still has to put on an orderly appearance with a wise king and virtuous ministers.

The door opened and in walked Asuma Sarutobi.

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke here, he did not show any surprise.

He stepped forward respectfully and said loudly:

"Hokage, the Fire Temple support mission has been canceled midway. Reporting to you."

"Thanks for your hard work.

"Sasuke already told me."

Jiraiya nodded gently.

"that."

On this side, Asuma looked hesitantly at Uchiha Sasuke beside him, as if he had something to say.

"But it doesn't matter."

Jiraiya could tell it at a glance.

The other party came here in such a hurry, he definitely didn't come here just to tell me that the mission was cancelled.

Here, hearing the Hokage asking, Sarutobi Asuma immediately spoke:

“The Fire Temple’s host, Di Lu, was my teammate in my youth and a good friend I’ve known for many years.

“Earlier, I heard from Sasuke that Di Lu was seriously injured, and I was a little worried.

“So I want to go and visit.”

In addition to this, what Asuma Sarutobi did not say was that he also wanted to personally confirm the entire battle process with the other party.

In a two-on-two situation, Uchiha Sasuke was able to complete the battle without any injury.

This fact made Asuma feel very concerned.

Therefore, he thought it was necessary to personally understand the specific battle process and then re-evaluate Uchiha Sasuke's strength.

And, plan ahead for the corresponding variables.

"As it should be."

After hearing the other party's apparent reasons, Jiraiya nodded very reasonably.

Then I heard Jiraiya say:

"Close the door."

Before Asuma could act, Sasuke stepped forward and closed the door to the Hokage's office.

Turning around, Jiraiya sat at the desk and continued to explain to Asuma:

"According to the information brought back by Uchiha Sasuke, a member of the Akatsuki organization has been annihilated by him and is currently buried in the Fire Temple.

“This person has a strange ability of immortality.

“Although he has been buried underground, if he is dug out and given nourishment and treatment, he may be able to make a comeback.

“Although not many people know this information, it is still within the controllable range.

"But theoretically speaking, there is still a possibility that this person could be rescued by the Akatsuki organization at any time.

"Don't be careless."

"Well?"

Hearing this, Asuma Sarutobi was surprised.

For some reason, in addition to the novelty, Asuma actually felt a sense of creepiness and discomfort at this strange and immortal ability.

“You can go to the land to learn more about the specific situation.

"Right now, there is a new task for you."

Jiraiya continued speaking at a leisurely pace.

"Yes!"

Asuma Sarutobi immediately came to his senses.

He was looking at the Hokage with sparkling eyes, ready to obey orders.

"That is, to ensure that the Fire Temple's garrison and supervision of this person is complete.

“Also, further strengthen the information channel between Konoha and the Fire Temple to ensure that it can deliver information to us within three hours.

“For specific standards, you can refer to Wuyin and others in Tansho Castle.

"Remember, you must strictly maintain confidentiality throughout the process."

Jiraiya gave orders and instructions solemnly.

"clear.

"I'll leave now."

Asuma Sarutobi nodded seriously.

He immediately accepted the order and turned around to leave.

"correct."

However, Jiraiya behind him called him again:

“By the way, please call Shikamaru over first.

“Sasuke and I have something else to talk to him about.

"Let's wait for him here."

"."

"Ok."

Although, be curious about what they want to talk about.

But Asuma didn't say anything more in the end.

Since Shikaku's death, Shikamaru's status in the village has risen rapidly.

In particular, the Fifth Hokage was very fond of him and would call him back for meetings from time to time.

Therefore, Asuma was no longer surprised by the Hokage's request.

He nodded immediately and left.

After Asuma Sarutobi left, the Hokage's office fell silent again.

Uchiha Sasuke sat back on the sofa, leaned back casually, and said:

“Speaking of which, the Sarutobi clan.

"In terms of territory, population, and strength.

"In fact, it's almost considered the largest family in Konoha, right?"

"Ah, I should.

“I guess so.”

Jiraiya was a little surprised that Uchiha Sasuke suddenly mentioned this.

But he finally thought about it for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.

"But whether we were discussing expanding the army or reducing the number of teams, we never mentioned them.

"Instead, we have always been talking about the six major families."

Uchiha Sasuke said calmly.

On the other side, Jiraiya roughly understood what Sasuke meant.

I saw a trace of embarrassment flash across his face, and he responded:

"yes."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya finally spoke again:

“After all, they are the family of the Third Hokage.

“No.

"No, wait and see."

In fact, Jiraiya had thought about what Sasuke pointed out.

But on the other hand, the Sarutobi clan was a Konoha clan that rose to prominence in a short period of time during the reign of the Third Hokage.

The six major families joined the village and established their corresponding status during the early days of Konoha.

Therefore, there is no corresponding position for the Sarutobi clan in the political structure of the village.

The clan leader, formerly the Hokage himself, is now an elite jonin.

The whole clan acts in a low profile and has a loose organization.

Moreover, unlike the Inuzuka clan who specializes in ninja dogs, the Yamanaka clan specializes in the perception system.

There is no specific system or responsibilities for the members of the Sarutobi clan.

Instead, it has fully infiltrated every field of Konoha, which makes it a bit like being in the dark under the lamp.

On the other hand, it has to be said.

Jiraiya is also a man who remembers the old relationship between him and the Third Hokage, the master and disciple.

Seeing his master's embarrassed look, Uchiha Sasuke didn't know what to say.

The two chatted for a while and talked about the recent expansion of ninjutsu in the village.

While they were talking, they heard knocking on the door again.

The one who came this time was Nara Shikamaru.

"Hokage-sama, are you looking for me?"

Shikamaru walked into the room and glanced at Uchiha Sasuke who was standing beside him.

He just nodded stiffly as a greeting.

He then turned around and spoke respectfully to Jiraiya.

"The matter of the Sand Village has been handed over to you for some time.

"Is there any result?"

Jiraiya asked.

“I have roughly sorted out some ideas.”

Nara Shikamaru spoke in a calm tone:

“However, you mentioned it that day.

"For this matter, we need to first listen to the opinion of Uchiha Sasuke himself.

"so."

"Here, the person is right here, just tell him yourself~"

Jiraiya smiled and raised his chin towards Uchiha Sasuke, signaling him to quickly tell Shikamaru his decision.

"not interested."

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke spoke briefly and shook his head indifferently.

Nara Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

Honestly, no matter what reaction Sasuke gave, Shikamaru would not be happy.

If he agreed to this marriage, Shikamaru would naturally find it hard to accept.

But if it is rejected, I will feel relieved.

But what this reveals is that Shikamaru would also feel uncomfortable when the girl he cherishes is rejected and despised by others.

Fortunately, Nara Shikamaru is not an emotional guy.

He just nodded, turned to face the Hokage again, bowed and said:

"Well, regarding the invitation from the Sand Village, I have three options for you to discuss and choose from, Hokage."

"Oh? Please speak."

Jiraiya couldn't help but become interested. He leaned forward and put on a serious look as if he was listening attentively.

Here, Nara Shikamaru gave a sharp analysis:

"This secret letter contains a fake marriage proposal, but a genuine letter seeking talents."

After a pause, Shikamaru said calmly:

“As we all know, for the Hidden Ninja Village, especially if it wants to maintain its status as one of the five major ninja villages, there are two things that are indispensable.

“First, the top combat power is generally the shadow of a village.

"The second is the corresponding land, as well as the recognition and authorization from the daimyo of the country behind it."

Uchiha Sasuke was immediately shocked when he heard this.

Shikamaru's analysis coincided with his previous thoughts about the "Wind, Fire and Water" alliance.

Sasuke slightly turned his body and looked at Shikamaru, also pretending to listen attentively.

"Right now, the Sand Village has experienced three severe blows, namely, defeat at the hands of Konoha, the escape of the Jinchūriki, and the surprise attack by the Akatsuki organization. Its national strength has long been exhausted.

"Among all this, the biggest impact is the discontinuity and scarcity of top combat power.

"And this is the important reason why the other party wants to absorb Uchiha Sasuke-sama."

Nara Shikamaru concluded.

"So, what are the three options you mentioned?"

Jiraiya continued to ask.

"The best strategy is to politely reject the other party's request. Also, pretend to be ignorant of the above-mentioned predicament of the Sand Village.

"Then, find an opportunity to prepare to establish a special Sand Village guard unit in Konoha.

“If necessary, we can keep a permanent garrison in the Sand Village.

“Digest, absorb.

“The advantage of this plan is that it allows us to always take the initiative.

"Moreover, there is ample time and subsequent policies will be more flexible."

Jiraiya's eyes flickered, and his expression was unclear whether he was sad or happy. He nodded and said:

"continue."

"As for the middle strategy."
