Chapter 376: Grudge
Makoto Uzumaki seems to be a man with a story - this is something that Lei Luo intuitively felt after listening to the other party's words.
Although he didn't understand what the story of Vortex Cheng and the Vortex Patriarch was, and what kind of conflict they had, there was one thing that Lei Luo could vaguely perceive:
The reason why Vortex Makoto launched this usurpation operation should have a lot to do with revenge on the Vortex Patriarch and others.
"You can't live without this ability?" Lei Luo first repeated Vortex Makoto's words in his own words, and then asked suspiciously:
"From what I've observed, the Vortex Patriarch seems to have a lot of trust in you, and trust can't appear out of thin air."
"Could it be that the old guy's trust in you is all supported by your disguise for so many years?"
Noticing the confusion in Lei Luo's tone, Vortex Makoto did not look back, his face was very calm, and the tone of his answer did not fluctuate:
"You should know...... The Vortex Patriarch we killed was actually the Great Elder of our clan, right? β
As he spoke, without waiting for Lei Luo to answer, Vortex Cheng continued to himself:
"My grandfather is also an elder of my clan, but his old man and the Great Elder are not of the same faction, if strictly speaking, my grandfather should be considered a competitor of the Great Elder and their line."
"I don't want to say much about the specific reasons, but if I summarize it in general, it is probably ...... After a political struggle in my clan, my grandfather was killed by the secret killers of the Great Elders. β
"After that, my parents were also suppressed by the gangs, and they were almost unable to move in the clan, so when I was a teenager, they died of depression."
"And in my generation, maybe my vigilance has decreased, or maybe I have been discerning things since I was a child, and I have been hiding my true thoughts in my heart, in short, ......"
"After a long, about ten years, and several trials by the Great Elders, I finally gained the trust of those old fellows."
"In the end, it's this war between our clan and Wuyin Village......"
Speaking of this, Vortex Makoto paused for a moment, he tilted his head slightly, looked at Lei Luo out of the corner of his eye, and continued:
"Your Excellency Lei Luo, I have to say that your appearance has really done me a great favor."
"In the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I was able to make up for the top-level power I had been lacking all along, so I'm done now β a journey that I expected to take 10 years to complete."
When the words fell, Vortex Cheng raised his arms flatly, his face revealed a thick sense of comfort, he seemed to be hugging the Vortex Village in front of him, and sighed in his mouth:
"At this moment, it seemed to me that revenge, power, wealth, and my own dreams seemed to be about to be realized."
At this time, in the building complex in the distance, there happened to be a stream of people, the number of which was probably hundreds or thousands.
A large number of Vortex people ran in the direction of Lei Luo and Vortex Cheng, they jumped over the ruins, and as they ran, the red hair seemed to form a sea of red.
However, whether it was Vortex Cheng or Lei Luo, it was as if they were turning a blind eye to the Vortex people who were about to arrive.
After listening to Vortex Cheng's confession, although Lei Luo was a little skeptical in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface, he thought for a moment, and then asked:
"Vortex Makoto, is your dream just to be a vortex patriarch?"
Hearing Lei Luo's question in his ears, and perceiving the curiosity of confusion and disapproval in the other party's words, Vortex Cheng smiled slightly, he slowly withdrew his hand, and said calmly:
"I'm just a little person, Lord Relo."
"I have neither your strength nor your ambition, for me, it is enough to become a patriarch."
What Vortex Cheng said at this moment was a little contradictory to Lei Luo's last exchange with him, and a different color flashed in Lei Luo's eyes, and he continued to ask:
"Makoto Vortex, do you want to regret it?"
At this point, Lei Luo's tone unconsciously became a little stiff, and Vortex Cheng knew that the other party was afraid that he had misunderstood him, so he replied with the same smile at the moment:
"Not really, Lord Relo."
"It's just that, judging from the current situation, I can only be a patriarch, and the desire in my heart can only stay at this step for the time being."
"If you don't do this, if you don't think so, then it won't do you any good, neither for me nor for me."
Vortex Cheng's words seemed to have other content, so Lei Luoquan suppressed his slightly restless heart and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to express?" β
This time, Vortex Cheng turned his head completely, his body didn't move, but his head seemed to be turned at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees, looking directly at Lei Luo behind him, and said with a slightly serious expression:
"Your Excellency Lei Luo, I have only one question, do you think the time is ripe for me to help you usurp the Hokage now?"
Vortex Cheng's question seemed to wake up Lei Luo all of a sudden, he thought about it carefully, and thought for a few seconds before slowly answering:
"Now the word...... My roots in Konoha are still too shallow, and there are too few people to support me, so if I do it now, even with the help of your Vortex Clan, I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed at all. β
Usurpation, or coup d'Γ©tat, revolution, this kind of thing cannot be achieved by violent means alone, even if he Lei Luo goes to kill the ape flying day now, but not to mention the remaining elders, as well as the descendants of the Hokage and the elders, let's talk about the patriarchs of the ninja clans......
Without reaching a tacit understanding with those people, even if Lei Luo was the highest-ranking Hokage, then with him, with the few people in his team, even if he added the strength of the Vortex Clan, I am afraid that he would not be able to suppress the opponents who kept pouring out.
The main thing is that his current fame is not enough, and he has not yet established a subordinate relationship with a large number of civilian ninjas in Konoha.
Although he Lei Luo has fought against many strong enemies, except for the Battle of Hanzo and the Battle of the Mizukage that is about to spread, most of his achievements are unknown.
Especially like Kato's battle and the Vortex Patriarch's battle, these two battles cannot be exposed in any case, otherwise he will not only lose the support of most of the ninjas in Konoha, but also make the only force that currently has hope of being taken under his command - the Vortex clan to alienate him.
In this case, he rashly made a move against Sarutobi and the others, which was to make enemies of the entire Konoha era.
Lei Luo knew that what Vortex Makoto said was right, now was not the time to turn against the Konoha higher-ups, at the very least, he needed to master a ninja army that had risen to a certain size before he could launch a usurpation operation.
