The man standing at the top of the ninja world

This sudden scene made Sarutobi Hiruzen slightly shocked, but his reaction speed was very fast. He came to his senses in less than a second and asked with some hesitation: "Are you... Jiraiya's general?" "spiritual beast"

Jiraiya is the only person in Konoha who has anything to do with the toad, and there are two people, Koharu and Mito Kazuo, guarding the door. It is impossible for this toad to have come here secretly. , since the two of them let the toad in, there is only one explanation.

Toad Kosuke replied: "Lord Hokage, you are right. I am the liaison frog of Mt. Myoboku, and my name is Kosuke. Lord Jiraiya asked me to come to you this time. He has something very important to tell you." you."

"It's a very important thing." Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly. Jiraiya and the three of them are currently fighting on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, so what they want to tell him must be related to the Kingdom of Rain.

More importantly, Jiraiya did not use normal communication channels to transmit information, but used a psychic beast that he had never used before, which had to give rise to some bad associations in his mind.

Could it be that the situation on the battlefield in the Land of Rain has become so precarious that even the channels for communicating with Konoha have been lost?

Not only him, Mito Uzumaki who was sitting on the chair had already opened her eyes when Toad Kosuke came in. Now that she heard Toad Kosuke's words, her expression also changed a little. Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen could think of her too. It can be imagined that she was even a little more anxious than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen only had to consider Konoha's victory or defeat on the battlefield of Rain Country, but she was different. In addition to Konoha's victory or defeat, Uzumaki Mito also had to consider Tsunade's safety.

Tsunade is one of the commanders of the Rain Kingdom battlefield. If the situation worsens, then she, the commander, will definitely bear the brunt. Her grandson, Senju Nawaki, died a few years ago. If something happens to Tsunade again, she will be the one who once tyrannized Nana. The Thousand Hands clan, which has existed for thousands of years, is really going to perish.

"Jiraiya, does he have something to tell me?" As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face had returned to calmness, but there was an uncontrollable hint of anxiety in his tone. Obviously, he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

"I don't know." Kosuke Toad said honestly, "Jiraiya-sama didn't tell me what the request was for. Instead, he gave me a letter and asked me to take it back to Konoha. He also told me that I must personally handle it. Give this letter to you, Hokage-sama."

After saying that, Kosuke Toad took out a letter from his body and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the letter and tore open the envelope. Before he could see what the content was, he first recognized that the words on the letter were Orochimaru's handwriting, which relieved his anxious heart a little.

Since the letter was written by Orochimaru, it seems that at least nothing happened to Orochimaru.

It's not that Sarutobi Hiruzen is partial and thinks Orochimaru is more important than Tsunade and Jiraiya, the two disciples, but that Orochimaru is the general of the Rain Country battlefield. Since he, the general, is fine, then the Rain Country's The situation shouldn't be as bad as he imagined.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and then began to read the contents of the letter seriously.

But after only reading two or three lines, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened instantly, his pupils revealed an unbelievable look, and even the fingers holding the letter trembled slightly. According to legend, only the Immortals of Six Paths possess this ability. In front of the reincarnation eye, even with the castle that he had been the Hokage for decades, it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.

His concentration was unprecedentedly concentrated, and he stared at the letter tightly for fear of missing any word. It took him 5 minutes to read the entire letter.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had read the letter, Kosuke Toad said respectfully: "Hokage-sama, since the letter has been handed over to you, I will go out first." As a liaison frog, Kosuke Toad is very knowledgeable. He knew that since the task assigned to him by Jiraiya had been completed, the next thing had nothing to do with him.

"Well, it's all thanks to you this time." Sarutobi Hiruzen said gently: "You go out and have a rest first. I have a reply later that I need you to bring to Jiraiya and the others."

"Yes, I understand." After Kosuke Toad said, he turned around and jumped out of the door, not forgetting to close the door again.

While Sarutobi Hiruzen was reading the letter, Uzumaki Mito had been observing the other party and clearly saw the change in Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression. A wave of worry surged in her heart. What kind of thing could make the Hokage lose his composure like this?

After Kosuke Toad went out, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Hiruzhan, what happened to the Kingdom of Rain? Could it be that... Konoha has been completely wiped out?"

"Mito-sama, it's not what you imagined." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, but he didn't know how to describe the content of the letter, so he simply handed the letter to Uzumaki Mito, "You better read it yourself. Take a look."

As the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, Uzumaki Mito is even more important to Konoha than him as the Hokage. After all, if the Hokage dies, then another one can be replaced, but if the Jinchuuriki is lost, it will not change. There is a second tailed beast, not to mention the nine-tailed beast that is the most powerful among the nine tailed beasts.

Not to mention that Uzumaki Mito is still the wife of the First Hokage, and there is nothing in Konoha that needs to be hidden from her.

"It's really unbelievable." Because she was mentally prepared in advance, Uzumaki Mito performed better than Sarutobi Hiruzen, but even so, her expression still changed several times while reading the letter.

Until he read the letter, Uzumaki Mito still had a hint of shock on his face, and sighed: "The Rinnegan Eye, the leader of the three major pupil techniques in the ninja world, actually exists, and was encountered by Tsunade and the others in the Land of Rain. , and this boy with the Samsara Eye is actually the orphan of the Uzumaki clan."

"Mito-sama." Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "This is about the Rinnegan, and we must figure out a follow-up method immediately. I will call Mon Yan and Koharu in."

As advisors to the Hokage, Mito Monohan and Kaden Koharu are his most trusted people and his most important right-hand men. This matter must be discussed with them.

"Yes." Uzumaki Mito naturally had no objection to this and nodded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the door. He was about to call Mito Kaden and Koharu who were sleeping outside to discuss the Rinnegan. However, he suddenly found that the people guarding the door had turned into three people at some point. , in addition to Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, there is also a one-eyed middle-aged man standing here.
