Chapter 44: The Regiment
"Moonlight Gorgeous's amnesia was indeed an accident, and that's my truth. But that doesn't prevent us from having limited cooperation, just like Orochimaru did with you. ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Tuan Zang said disdainfully: "Orochimaru is a rare ninjutsu genius, and his talent is beyond the reach of most family ninjas, what qualifications do you have to compare with him?" ”
Lei Luo smiled faintly and said calmly: "Just because I'm only seventeen years old, just because I'm better than him." ”
Tuan Zang just wanted to open his mouth to sneer at Lei Luo's big words, but then he thought of Orochimaru's strange performance: Orochimaru's crime of deceiving the upper echelons would not be unaware, but he still did it, not caring about his own face at all. This only shows one thing: Orochimaru believes that concealing the reality of Lei Luo is more important than bearing the alleged crime.
Danzo understands Orochimaru, this is a guy who attaches great importance to strength, is the technique of perfectly washing away memories really that important to Orochimaru? If this is not the reason, why does Orochimaru treat Lei Luo differently?
With Orochimaru's character, if Lei Luo really had something he wanted, he was afraid that he would try his best to get it. And after he really got it, with the arrogance of Orochimaru, he probably wouldn't care if it was leaked or not. Anyway, it's just a civilian ninja with no background, where can he go?
But now the situation is: Lei Luo is standing here in a good manner, and Orochimaru is covering up for him in every way. This shows that Lei Luo does have something on his body that attracts Orochimaru, but Orochimaru can't get it.
The thought was fleeting, and Tuan Zang immediately figured out the crux of the problem: Orochimaru really wanted to monopolize Lei Luo's secret, but he seemed to be helpless against Lei Luo, so he made this decision, so Lei Luo's true strength ......
A faint glint flashed in his eyes, and Tuan Zang stopped the taunt that was about to blurt out, and instead responded to Lei Luo's "unashamed" lightly: "You said that you are stronger than Orochimaru, do you have any evidence?" Just by virtue of your victory over two rain ninjas? ”
Tuan Zang's questioning made Lei Luo feel that it would be impossible not to come up with some dry goods. He didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a large handful of forehead guards from the ninja bag behind him and handed it to the other party.
There are a total of nine forehead guards, two of which belong to Ishii and Daina, and seven are the remaining seven Iwa Shinobi Nakashinobi.
These forehead guards were captured by him in this hunting operation, and Lei Luo originally planned to find an opportunity to exchange them for battle exploits, but now that he was being targeted by Tuan Zang, it was better to take them out generously and show his strength while fighting for the right to speak.
Tuan Zang quietly took these rock ninja foreheads, squinted his eyes and carefully discerned them. The style of the ninja forehead guard varies from village to village according to the rank of the person wearing it, which is also a common way to distinguish the strength of ninjas.
After a while, Tuan Zang's face became a little more serious, and he asked, "Is this the result of your mission?" Why not escalate? ”
Lei Luo waved his hand disapprenosingly and said: "I didn't come back with the big army, these are the unexpected gains I made on my return trip, and the reason why I didn't report it naturally has my reasons." Besides, it's just some miscellaneous fish, and it doesn't make much sense to report it or not. ”
Tuan Zang snorted coldly, as if sensing that there was something in Lei Luo's words, he stuffed all the forehead guards into his wide robes, and said bluntly: "I don't want to know what your intention is to hide your strength, but you ignore the majesty of the Hokage and treat the rules of the village as nothing. Lei Luo, aren't you afraid that the sun will find out about it and trouble you? ”
Keenly aware of the change in Tuan Zang's name for himself, Lei Luo smiled slightly and said, "Elder Tuan Zang, there are just the two of us here, and some words are better to say clearly." Your Personality Orochimaru also mentioned it to me, to be honest, I don't rule out cooperating with you, I think we might as well talk openly and honestly? ”
Danzang lowered his head, as if he was thinking, but his eyes scanned Lei Luo without a trace, secretly thinking about the information he had gathered.
Excluding the rush time, that is to say, Lei Luo wiped out two elite rock ninja teams with the power of one person in one day; After the battle, the opponent did not have a trace of scars on his body, and even his clothes were not damaged, indicating that he was far from doing his best; Coupled with Orochimaru's jealousy of him......
Tuan Zang suddenly discovered that Lei Luo's strength was by no means measurable by the "Shangnin", and his true combat power was probably not much weaker than that of Qimu Shuomao, who had become famous in recent years. The main thing is that such a powerful ninja is only seventeen years old this year, and the Hokage obviously doesn't know about it.
If Lei Luo can be successfully absorbed into the root, then the root will have two top combat powers, including Lei Luo and Orochimaru.
Thinking of the possible scenes in the future, Tuan Zang's heart couldn't help but feel hot, but at the same time, he also realized that Lei Luo had been so deeply hidden for many years, and he must have a lot of intentions in the city. If it weren't for Orochimaru's awareness of the other party's details this time, and he happened to show a flaw in front of him, then he might never have noticed Lei Luo's existence.
The strength is unknown, the ability is unknown, and the purpose is unknown...... The only thing that is known is that Lei Luo is indeed a native of Konoha ninja and has no bad deeds in the past, but Danzo, who is full of conspiracy theories, no longer dares to believe these superficial things at this time.
Tuan Zang believes that Lei Luo either began to hide his strength very early, or he was quietly replaced. The reason is that precious secret arts may be obtained by chance, but powerful strength is definitely not something that can be cultivated overnight.
Relo ...... Who he is and what his purpose is, perhaps it is time to talk openly and honestly.
"Follow me." Leaving a faint word, Tuan Zang turned to leave, seemingly not caring if Lei Luo would follow.
Lei Luo's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he followed behind Tuan Zang without hesitation, he had already guessed where Tuan Zang would take him.
It is likely to be the opponent's home turf: the root base outside Konoha Village. And with the strength of the group and the roots at this stage...... Lei Luo didn't pay attention to it at all.
This is also the reason why he chose to reveal a little bit of his true strength to Tuan Zang: Lei Luo is not afraid of Tuan Zang and him.
In addition, he also has multiple factors to consider: pretending to be stupid and stunned in front of people like Tuan Zang obviously won't work. Instead of entanglement, it is better to seek cooperation in a generous and sincere manner. Anyway, with Tuanzang's ambition, he would never give up Lei Luo's valuable combat power.
It can be seen from the original book that Tuan Zang is essentially a very pragmatic person, not like the ape flying and slashing. For valuable talents, this old ghost will never be stingy with resources, this can be seen by looking at Orochimaru: how many precious resources and confidential information are open to him?
Lei Luo felt that in order to achieve his own purpose, Tuan Zang must give some benefits, which was enough for him.
Ape Fei Ri Slash did not respond to his request today, not even a single word, this bureaucratic style made Lei Luo very disgusted.
Although the sudden appearance of Tuan Zang did not meet his expectations, since they were all ready to fly, Lei Luo didn't mind changing the court sooner. Anyway, for him, having milk is a mother.
As for the various sealing techniques that appeared in the original book, Tuan Zang controlled the various sealing techniques under his subordinates...... Not to mention that the strength has reached the level of Lei Luo, there is a high chance that Tuan Zang will not tear his face with him. Let's just say that those sealing techniques, all the xenomorph chakras that invaded his body will be restrained by the countercurrent.
This had already been verified in the battle against Daina: the technique that looked like lime was essentially a sealing technique, but the countercurrent eliminated it without any pressure.
Plus triple speed, wind travel, deceleration, and ninjutsu acceleration that has not been fought so far...... Lei Luo, who has many hole cards, is not panicked at all.
Although Tuan Zang has a strong desire to control, he is definitely not a brainless person, and Lei Luo believes that after he shows his strength, Tuan Zang will make the right choice.
Walking through the dense flow of people, Danzo and Lei Luo walked out of Konoha one after the other. Along the way, they didn't talk, just walked slowly into the forest.
About half an hour later, Lei Luo followed Tuan Zang to the middle of an empty meadow. The apparently artificially cleared grassland covers a large area and is laid out in a manner similar to the various training grounds in the village, except that there is no training equipment.
Lei Luo stood behind the group and looked at the surrounding environment, only to see that there were lush trees in all directions, and his eyes were cast into the distance, and he could faintly see the rolling mountains.
The sun shines unobscured on the body, adding a summer warmth. The dozens of chakra points of light that I sensed in my mind also seemed to be affected by the warm sunbath, and I was a little ready to move.
Enjoying this rare moment of relaxation, Lei Luo unconsciously stretched his waist.
Danzang stopped and turned around. He glanced lightly at Lei Luo, who looked careless, and slowly raised his left hand to make a gesture.
Whoosh ......
A series of sounds of breaking through the air swept through, and in an instant, Lei Luo's surroundings were surrounded by ninjas wearing masks and black cloaks, about thirty or fifty people. Looking at what they are wearing inside, the black vest with iron arm guards is somewhat similar to the dress of the dark part, and it should be the ninja of the root.
These ninjas exuded undisguised killing intent, and they remained silent since they appeared, but faintly surrounded Lei Luo between their positions.
