Chapter 47: The Roots
As on previous occasions, the attack came suddenly and ended abruptly.
Then, the root ninja will find that the upper ninja they rely on has fallen in convulsions.
There is no chance to fight back, and there is no room for defense.
Spike, spike, spike!
The shadow clone is a seckill against the middle ninja, and the ontology is still a spike against the upper ninja. No one could see these three high-speed moving figures clearly, only that when Qingguang appeared, there would be a middle ninja who would fall. And after the blue light drifted, the upper shinobi was finished.
Panic is spreading, and no matter how good the psychological quality of the root ninja is, when faced with an enemy who is completely irresistible, it is inevitable that the idea of giving up will be born.
Circles of air gushed out, and the blue light and shadow were uncertain, sometimes overlapping and sometimes separate. The cyan one could still see the silhouette of a person, but the blue one had completely turned into undulating rays of light.
Most ninja can't even tell how many enemies there are, so in this case, can they pose a threat to the enemy? Can they resist even a second when targeted?
So, what exactly are they fighting against?
No, this is no longer a battle, this is a massacre.
Although Lei Luo didn't kill any of them, his companions fell to the ground one after another and fell unconscious, and there was a possibility that the rolling waves of qi around him could appear at any time, as well as the cyan light that could not stop harvesting...... It's good if the rest don't have a nervous breakdown.
The battle continues, but the results are already clear.
It was only a matter of time before Neshinobu was wiped out.
Tuanzang leaned on the trunk of a tree on the side, watching intently as Lei Luo fought with the ninjas. The blue and blue light shone all over the battlefield, and the blockers were invincible, and there was no enemy. Most of the ninja can't find where the enemy is, and the spells they use at risk are either empty or hurt their own people.
Although Tuan Zang is not a physical ninja, but at his level, his abilities in all aspects are still passable. His eyesight was not comparable to that of the headless flies below, so he quickly discerned a bit of fame.
The two cyan figures looked the same as Lei Luo, although Tuan Zang didn't see Lei Luo's seal, he also guessed that this was Lei Luo's shadow clone, but the strength of these two shadow clones was too strong.
As for Lei Luo's body, that is, the blue electric light that traversed all over the battlefield, with Tuan Zang's dynamic vision, he could only barely see a little of the opponent's outline. The main thing is that the blue light is very flexible between flashes and movements, and the inertia does not seem to affect much, so it is very difficult to predict.
Tuan Zang thought to himself, that is, he personally went down, and he was afraid that he would not be able to please Lei Luo's crazy offensive of the body doppelganger, not to mention that it was just a test now, and it was impossible for Lei Luo to show all his hole cards.
At this moment, there was a strong vigilance in Tuan Zang's heart. Lei Luo's strength is very strong, very strong, but it is a bit too strong, and it is completely beyond the control of Tuan Zang.
Danzou didn't know if he should recruit Lei Luo into the root, if he counted the hole cards that Lei Luo hadn't shown yet, then the opponent's strength was probably not far from the Hokage. But can such a strong master really be willing to let himself be driven? Danzou was skeptical.
Although some people can't believe in Lei Luo, an ambition is also ignited in Tuan Zang's heart: if Lei Luo sincerely serves the root, then the root will undoubtedly usher in a qualitative change, and the meaning of this for his Tuan Zang is difficult to describe in words!
Danzang is even optimistic that if there is Lei Luo's full support, then the position of the Hokage may not be so far away.
The last three generations of Lei Luozu are all Konoha people, and his net worth is innocent. He himself has recorded all the information from birth to the present, and he is not afraid of others checking it at all.
As for the possibility that Lei Luo is a spy from another village, it has been ruled out by the group. Although he didn't know how he developed his strength, Danzou concluded that no village leader would be willing to send such a strong ninja as a spy, it would be a tyrannical thing.
Another important point is that Lei Luo is not a family ninja, does not belong to any faction himself, and does not seem to have any political leanings, so the chances of the other party wanting to be the Hokage should be very low.
And Lei Luo does not reject joining the roots, nor does he shy away from his notoriety of the group, and is willing to "mutually beneficial" with him. All these factors add up, and Tuan Zang can't seem to find a reason to give up Lei Luo's strong combat power with a "clean" background, a "low-key" personality, and a "clear" need.
This kind of good thing is equivalent to pie in the sky, if he doesn't accept it decisively, he will really be a high-level Konoha for so many years.
So...... The requests that Lei Luo made before should really be carefully considered.
All kinds of thoughts quickly crossed Tuan Zang's mind, and as for the battle off the field, it was no longer in his attention. Anyway, his group of elite root ninja troops are not Lei Luo's opponents at all, so there is nothing to see.
Even if Lei Luo killed them all in a fit of emotion, Tuan Zang wouldn't care too much. Using forty-two root ninja for a shadow-level master, how to see how this business is worth it.
What's more, Lei Luo didn't kill him, which fully showed the sincerity of the other party, and Tuan Zang was already thinking about what conditions to put forward in the negotiation later.
On the battlefield full of unconscious root ninjas, Lei Luo casually knocked out the last middle ninja who had been stunned, and slowly untied the triple speed.
The gray glow in his eyes quickly faded, and the two shadow clones beside him also dissipated into smoke at the same time.
Relo lifted his watch and glanced at the time: three minutes, a little longer than he expected. It may be the first time that I am fully fired, and I am not quite used to this way of fighting.
Lei Luo stretched his neck disappreciatively, making a crisp click, he raised his hand and grabbed the tattered middle ninja vest on his body, and tore it off violently and threw it aside.
The physical exercise some time ago made his pectoral muscles and biceps brachii bulge slightly, and he no longer looked thin when he first crossed. The wounds cut by the air had healed, and only wisps of blood stuck to his muscular body, adding to the ferocity.
Lei Luo was bare-chested, raised his head and said to Tuan Zang not far away, "I think, I shouldn't need this dress, right?" ”
Tuan Zang came back to his senses, hurriedly jumped off the trunk of the tree, walked quickly to Lei Luo, patted Lei Luo on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Naturally you don't need it, I will prepare a better one for you." When he said this, Tuan Zang rarely put away his old face, revealing an amiable smile, how did Lei Luo feel incongruous.
But is this a good start?
"Relo, you've proven yourself." Tuan Zang put away his smile, and his face became a little serious. "Next, let's find a clean place and sit down and talk. I will seriously consider those requests of yours. ”
"I hope so." Lei Luo was also a little more colorful.
As for the surrounding Gennin who was beaten to the point of losing consciousness, neither of them cared. The value of these so-called "elite" root ninja seems to be nothing more than that.
Tuan Zang is completely the relationship between the master and the tool to them, and whether they can leave a life or not, Tuan Zang has completely indifferent.
Anyway, when you wake up, you will naturally come back, and if you die, you will die.
Rather than their lives and deaths themselves, Danzang obviously cares more about what is behind their lives and deaths: the "sincerity" that Lei Luo shows in this one-sided battle.
Through the number of dead and alive ninjas, Danzou wants to see if Lei Luo is a person who strictly abides by his promises, which will determine how he and Lei Luo will get along in the future.
Ninjas without strength are destined to be unable to control their own destiny, which is especially evident in Neshinobi. Lei Luo was slightly touched by this, after all, he was now considered a "half" root forbearance.
As for the next way forward, it will depend on the negotiations for a while. This will determine Relo's overall plan for years or even decades to come.
……
In the huge underground space, it has been artificially built into buildings that cover a large area, and incandescent lamps can be seen everywhere, making this pitch-black underground that should not be visible to the fingers become extremely bright.
The road that leads in all directions is paved with a neat layer of floor tiles, and the root ninjas who come and go bow down when they see Danzo. Below the road, there is a bottomless pothole, and I don't know how many meters the construction workers dug down.
It's hard to imagine that during the period of the Second Ninja World War, the roots already had such a vast base, and the capital of the group was really strong.
Lei Luo was wearing a black cloak, and asked in amazement as he walked towards Tuan Zang, "How many bases like this are there?" ”
"This is the base camp, the only one in the entire ninja world." Tuan Zang replied lightly, his tone full of arrogance: "Being able to build such a huge base is also thanks to the original Hokage Thousand Hands Pillar back then. ”
Next, Danzou and Lei Luo briefly introduced the history of this base: after the battle with Madara Uchiha, the Thousand Hands Pillar knew that his life was short. He was worried that Konoha might encounter a powerful enemy like Madara in the future, so he used the little time he had left to dig such a secret base under Konoha beneath.
Its main purpose is to use this place as a refuge for the villagers of Konoha in times of crisis.
