I don't know when the sky became cloudy, and the faint muffled thunder sounded intermittently.

After a fight, Yuren left dozens of corpses behind.

Although Konoha has been planning for a long time, there are too many rain ninjas after all, and there are also masters who are good at escaping among the five rain ninjas, so in the end, it is still unfinished.

In terms of rain ninjas, only one upper ninja ran away, and more than a dozen middle ninjas and lower ninjas. And Konoha lost less than twenty or thirty people, but killed more than ninety enemies, I have to say that this is a big victory.

Although this victory is not fair to the six squads that exist as bait, as most of the people who lost are members of their squad. In that short period of a few minutes, the three squads were eliminated by the formation, and the remaining squads were also uneven. One of the squads even killed a shinobi captain, which shows how dangerous the work of this decoy really is.

But no one will be stupid to mention all this, everyone is cheering at this moment, enjoying the joy of victory. The same goes for the three members of the bait team who survived, whether they really didn't know anything or realized their "real" mission, no one would make a discordant sound at this time.

The battlefield gradually calmed down, and the Konoha ninjas who came to "support" had a clear division of labor to check the scattered corpses. If you find that there is a rain ninja who has not yet swallowed her breath, she will decisively stab him in the neck.

Lei Luo stepped over the corpse of a rain ninja who fell to the ground, and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic as he looked at the battlefield where the corpses were strewn all over the field. At this time, he really wanted to light a cigarette, feel the smell of smoke and blood, and pay tribute to his past.

Iron and blood and cigarettes are always a man's romance.

Suddenly, Lei Luo saw a man and a woman sitting on the edge of the battlefield, thought for a moment, and walked over.

"Yo, you're still alive?" Lei Luo walked up to Aoki Ren and Naoko Sakai, sat beside them, and greeted them casually.

Aoki Lian raised her head in silence and reluctantly smiled as a response, but this smile was more ugly than crying. Naoko Sakai still had undried tears on her face, and there were puzzlement, sadness, and some emotions that Lei Luo couldn't read in her eyes when she looked at Lei Luo. The only thing Lei Luo can know is that Naoko Sakai is in pain.

Lei Luo could probably guess what was going on, but what did that have to do with him?

He didn't see Fujiwara Tomo, the always interesting young man should be dead. Relo will regret this, but will not regret his move to leave them voluntarily.

No matter who died, Lei Luo didn't feel anything.

After all, he was only meeting them for the first time and was not obliged to be their babysitter. When the first wave of rain ninja came up, he was able to patiently shelter them for a while, and in his opinion, he was already benevolent.

Naoko Sakai suddenly spoke: "Chi is dead." ”

Wisdom? It should be said that it is Fujiwara Tomo, right?

Naoko Sakai turned her head to look at Lei Luo, "Why did you leave us behind?" ”

Lei Luo said lightly: "It can only be said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, right?" ”

You can't say that he wants to move under his ass, right? Well...... Saving a shinobi in the village, killing an enemy shinobi on the spot, and assisting in killing an enemy shinobi, this credit should be not small, right? It's okay to get up to the top ninja, right? What reward will Ape Fly Sun Slash give? Thinking about it, Lei Luo was a little expectant.

Since listening to Yuko's proposal, Lei Luo now wants to be "promoted" more and more.

"With great power comes great responsibility...... ? Aoki Ren muttered to herself, thinking of the scene when Lei Luo fought with the two enemy Shangnin before, she couldn't help but have some understanding.

Naoko Sakai is not so easy to fool, or women are more emotional, her cold eyes stared at Lei Luo, "Because of this inexplicable reason, you ignore our life and death?" What qualifies a person like you to be our captain? ”

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

Lei Luo was silent for a long time before he raised his head and sighed, "People...... When I fall into misfortune, I will instinctively find some self-righteous reasons to complain, to be angry, to hate...... Is this a cowardly evasion, or an incompetent anger? ”

Zuojing Naoko stood up openly, and suppressed anger in his tone: "And enough Lei Luo!" What do you mean? ”

Lei Luo didn't look up, but both Aoki Ren and Naoko Sakai could hear a hint of mockery in his tone: "Since you are on the battlefield, you should be conscious." Whether you kill or be killed, this is the path you have chosen for yourself. There is no reason to talk about on the battlefield, the winner lives and the loser dies. ”

"Fujiwara is dead, it's just that he's too weak. And you, who can't protect the people you care about, are undoubtedly incompetent. ”

Naoko Sakai trembled with anger, "You...... What about you? Fujiwara Tomo's death, aren't you responsible? ”

Lei Luo's tone suddenly turned calm, "I have what I have to do, and the initial shelter is just the result of my kindness. But make no mistake, I'm not your babysitter, and I'm not obligated to protect you all the time. ”

"If it weren't for my action, we would have died a shinobi, and do you know the more serious consequences that will result from this? I'm telling you, there will be more Fujiwara Tomoshi dying, and then there will be more Naoko Sakai running past and questioning me in self-righteousness: You are so strong, why don't you protect us? ”

Lei Luo spread his hands and said helplessly: "Look, save one person or save ten people, you can tell me the answer." Oh, from your standpoint, you will surely say to me: save us, what does it matter to us whether other people live or die? Even if they are all Konoha ninjas, they all have their own families......"

"Enough!" Naoko Sakai sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and her voice became weaker and weaker, "I said, that's enough......"

Aoki Ren gently patted Naoko Sakai on the shoulder and whispered, "Naoko, it's all over." I don't think I want to see you so sad. ”

Seeing that Naoko Sakai's mood had stabilized, Aoki Ren turned her head to look at Lei Luo, hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Captain Lei Luo, although I don't know whether to ask or not...... But I still want to know, this mission ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Lei Luo looked at Aoki Lian with deep meaning, "Xiaolian, are you sure you can withstand the answer to this question?" ”

Aoki Ren hesitated again, and it took a while to raise her head, "I, I want to know ......"

"Forget it." Lei Luo waved his hand tastelessly, "It's not a good thing for you to know the answer too early, you're still young, you shouldn't be paying attention to these inconsequential questions, right?" ”

In the final analysis, it is just the sacrifice of the few in exchange for the victory of the many, but is the sacrifice in exchange for something really that valuable?

"Hey!" Lei Luo smiled self-deprecatingly, stood up and walked forward. "When did I become so sentimental? It's ridiculous. He muttered, and the figure gradually disappeared into the eyes of Aoki Ren and Naoko Sakai.

Lei Luo wanted to talk to the team leader Shangnin to see what the charter of this mission would be next. The supplies on the wagons were not damaged much, and the "reinforcements" from the camp came to receive them. Are they considered to have completed their mission and can return to the village?

As he walked, Lei Luo suddenly stopped, squinted his eyes and looked to the side.

It was a slender figure, hidden in the thick shadows beneath the leaves. This person put on a ninja vest, clasped his hands on his chest, and leaned on the trunk of a tree behind him casually. He didn't seem to care about Lei Luo's glance, but looked at Lei Luo with interest.

It was a man with a pale face, about twenty years old, with long black hair draped over his shoulders. His eyes are dark golden, with dark purple shadows at the corners of his eyes, and his pupils are as vertical as beasts.

Lei Luo stared at him for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "Orochimaru Shangnin? Is there anything wrong? ”

Lei Luo hadn't activated his perception before passing through here, so he didn't know that Orochimaru was hiding here. If it weren't for this guy who took the initiative to leak a trace of breath, Lei Luo might not have been aware of his existence from beginning to end.

'This is Orochimaru...... My instincts just didn't make it out of him. If you look at it this way, his strength should be much stronger than me under normal conditions. Lei Luo secretly analyzed the difference in strength between the two sides, and at the same time felt strange that Orochimaru appeared here.

"And enough Lei Luo Zhongnin, very sharp intuition." Orochimaru's voice is very hoarse, giving people the feeling of being sick for a long time. "Being able to deal with two upper ninjas on your own, Lei Luojun, it's not easy for you to be a middle ninja."

When Lei Luo heard this, he reacted that Orochimaru knew what happened on the battlefield before, and immediately said modestly: "Where...... If it weren't for the help of another shinobi, I might have died. ”

Orochimaru shook his head and slowly walked to a position one meter away from Lei Luo, his eyes revealing an interested gaze, "Presumably, after returning to the village, Teacher Sarufei will promote your rank to Shangnin, right?" ”

"Maybe." Lei Luo was noncommittal about this, and just looked at Orochimaru with questioning eyes, waiting for the other party's follow-up.

"I heard that Lei Luojun was just promoted to Zhongnin a year ago, and he has been working hard for a year...... It's grown to the point where it is now. Orochimaru licked his lips, "Lei Luojun, don't you think you're suspicious?" ”

Lei Luo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe I'm a late bloomer?" ”

"Really?" Orochimaru smiled coldly and asked, "I think it's more likely that you're a spy from the outer village?" ”
