Chapter 43: The Haze
When Lei Luo walked out of the door of the Hokage's office, he subconsciously touched his waist bag, bulging.
This mission Ape Fei Ri Slash did not reward Lei Luo for ninjutsu, but gave him a gratuity on a businesslike basis, about 300,000 taels, Lei Luo secretly calculated the exchange rate, and found that its purchasing power was equivalent to more than 40,000 yuan in his previous life.
Because the incoming rain ninja force is too strong, the surviving ninjas can be regarded as having completed an A-level mission.
The reward given by the ape flying day slash is a total of 150,000 taels, and the other 150,000 taels are because of Lei Luo's outstanding performance on the battlefield, and the extra reward is a reward.
Although Ape Fei Sun Slash made a generous move, Lei Luo was not very satisfied with the reward.
After all, his usual expenses are very small, and the medicinal materials needed for cultivating physical arts are enough to use his savings, so there is nothing else to spend money on.
Lei Luo is not short of money, what he wants is ninjutsu materials.
It's a pity that after several explicit hints, Ape Fei Ri Slash didn't mean to give ninjutsu again, and sent Lei Luo away with all the nonsense.
Lei Luo guessed that there may be two reasons: one is that it was just given last time, and it seems too frequent to give it again this time, and it is easy to break the "rules". The second is that this mission does not meet the requirements for rewarding ninjutsu, although his personal performance is already very good.
And then - completing the quest is not the same as being able to acquire ninjutsu directly, Lei Luo read this from the attitude of the ape flying and slashing.
Lei Luo was disappointed with this result.
But the other person is the Hokage, and he can't help it.
Ralo calmly left the Hokage's office and walked slowly down the hallway.
The various staff members passing by around him didn't notice, and his face looked a little cloudy.
Under the bright incandescent light, the hard and thick wall surface, the fiery red tiles shone brightly, but they could not illuminate the haze in Lei Luo's heart at all.
He didn't know if this situation was a special case, if the reward of that S-class mission at the beginning was just a sweetness, and there would be no more follow-up, it would mean that he would fall into a rather unfavorable situation, and the value of joining the shadows would not be so great.
Lei Luo knew that he was a civilian ninja, neither the resources of the big family, nor the Hokage's lineage, so how difficult was it to obtain the cherished ninjutsu resources within the system? Originally, he still wanted to achieve his goals through promotion, meritorious service, etc., but now he may be too naΓ―ve to think about it.
Lei Luo knew he had to prepare for the worst.
So, the "hunting" plan should also be put on the agenda.,There happens to be a layer of skin in the dark part.,You should be able to get in touch with some powerful ninjas.,I hope there are people in it who understand sealing.γ
Lei Luo sighed, only to feel that the situation was much more complicated, which made his brain hurt.
He walked out of the Hokage Building, planning to go home and rest first, and then go to practice physical skills in the afternoon. There are also those newly captured ninjutsu, and he has to take time to master them, his time is too tight.
At this time, a hoarse and low voice sounded behind him: "And enough Lei Luo, are you interested in chatting with the old man?" β
Lei Luo glanced behind him and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe squinting at him. The middle-aged man had thin cheeks, dark eyes, and two scars on his chin that were sharp.
This is...... Bunzo?
Lei Luo turned around, looked directly at Tuan Zang with his eyes, and said, "Elder Tuan Zang? Why are you looking for me? β
Danzou didn't care about Lei Luo's slightly rude eyes, he probably knew that his reputation was not very good for ordinary ninjas. After all, it is the time of World War II, and Tuan Zang has not yet been completely hidden behind the scenes, and there are still many people who know him.
Tuan Zang just raised his hand, as if to show that he had no ill will towards Lei Luo, and he said to Lei Luo in an ancient sound tone: "Orochimaru sent me a message, but I can't believe what he said, so now I have to confirm the situation in person." β
Lei Luo frowned and asked, "Orochimaru, as a Hokage-sama high-ranking apprentice, has a bright future, so he must not make some fake news to fool the upper echelons of the village." β
Tuan Zang's eyes opened slightly, as if he was surprised by Lei Luo's answer, and he said, "The news may have been true originally, but I know the people who handled it, so it doesn't seem to make much difference whether this news is true or not. β
"So......" Lei Luo pondered for a long time, and when he saw that he couldn't get past it, he said bluntly: "Elder Tuanzang, what do you mean?" We might as well say it explicitly, it's very brain-consuming to play dumb riddles like this. β
Tuan Zang smiled, as if he expected Lei Luo's reaction, and said slowly: "It is indeed not easy for a ninja like Orochimaru to lie to you on purpose, and to make Lei Luo." β
Lie? What's there to panic about?
While Lei Luo was puzzled, he gradually tasted something: when Orochimaru tested himself that day, he only seemed to have raised questions about his strength. As for other things, Orochimaru didn't seem to mention it.
Especially his biggest flaw: the amnesia incident of Moonlight Brilliant Road, the other party didn't say it at all, now that I think about it, it's very abnormal.
From this point of view, either Orochimaru is not interested in this matter, or he has other plans, but this guy is not secretive, and he was noticed by Tuan Zang.
It's just that Lei Luo felt that there was nothing wrong with his performance in front of Orochimaru, so what did the other party want to hide when he lied to himself?
"Orochimaru lied to me on purpose? Want to deceive the village higher-ups? Lei Luo laughed, shook his head and said, "Elder Tuanzang, let's not talk about whether I have such a great charm. Let's just say Orochimaru, doing this kind of thing in his capacity is tantamount to destroying his future. β
Tuan Zang said noncommittally: "Don't be presumptuous, although I don't know you, I know Orochimaru." β
"Okay." Lei Luo spread his hands helplessly. "Elder Tuanzang wants to confirm the situation, please tell me directly."
"Moonlight Xuandao, you should know." Danzang narrowed his eyes again, staring at Lei Luo tightly. "Don't you really know anything about his amnesia?"
Lei Luo sighed and said with a sad face: "Isn't this matter already in the past?" Elder Danzo, Hokage-sama doesn't have any doubts about this, what results can you get if you hold on to me? β
Tuan Zang's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Don't use the sun slash to prevaricate me!" You know best if you have any questions! β
Seeing that Lei Luo was silent, Tuan Zang's face couldn't help but soften a little, but his tone was still very harsh: "Originally, I didn't suspect you, and it was just routine to let Orochimaru test you, but his abnormal behavior made me really notice you, and it was enough for Lei Luo!" β
"Your net worth is innocent, although the big snake pill has a small loss, but you can still carry it in terms of major rights and wrongs." Danzo paused for a moment, then said, "So I think your identity as a Konoha ninja is fine, your problem is only that you have mastered some kind of technique that you shouldn't have mastered." β
Lei Luo's face looked unimpressed, and even sneered at Tuan Zang's trouble, but in fact, in his heart, he was secretly scolding Orochimaru, a fool, for exposing himself.
The reason why he was a little annoyed was only because this time was not the best time to contact Tuan Zang.
After all, his strength has not yet taken shape, and he has not yet grasped the mastery of the first-level shadow. Triple speed is fast, but it is absolutely impossible for a master of the level of Ape Fei Sun Slash to react, which is speculated from various comic details in his previous life.
If Danzo discovers the clues of his strength, it is certain to break with Konoha at that time, and he will probably not be able to defeat the Hokage, so he can only be forced to leave.
The loss of that kind of result......
Even if there was only a hint of risk, Lei Luo was unwilling to accept it, and his mind was racing, secretly thinking about the next way to deal with it.
Tuan Zang didn't know what Lei Luo was thinking in his heart, he saw that Lei Luo scoffed at his speculation, and his face was not the slightest unhappy, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
This old guy knows how many chips he has, Lei Luo has just become a shadow today, and is obviously still within the sight of Ape Fei Sun. In addition, what he said before was mostly speculation and no real evidence, in fact, there was no way to be hard, but this did not affect him to find a way to achieve his goal.
"I know you don't want to admit it, after all, it's a secret technique that can perfectly wash away memories, stronger than the mountain clan, and it's normal for you to be so careful." Tuan Zang said sincerely, and seemed to be thinking about Lei Luo very much.
But in the next second, Tuan Zang's words changed: "But do you know how valuable the secret art you mastered?" In this case, if you don't say it's me, even the sun will be tempted, right? Do you really think you can hide? β
Lei Luo was expressionless, and said indifferently: "I only know that Hokage-sama has already revealed this matter, and Hokage-sama has no intention of snooping on my secret. β
"What's more......" Lei Luo sneered: "All this is your speculation, there is no evidence, you can't help me, am I right?" Elder Tuanzang. β
Hearing Lei Luo's left sentence Hokage-sama and the right sentence Hokage-sama, Tuan Zang's face suddenly gloomy, and he no longer had the aura he had just now. "Do you really think I can't help you? But a new promotion to the ......"
Lei Luo waved his hand, interrupted Tuan Zang's threatening words, and said to himself, "Actually, Elder Tuan Zang, I don't think there is any need to embarrass each other so much. After all, you are a high-ranking Konoha person, and I don't want to offend you. β
