After thinking about it, Orochimaru suddenly wanted to talk to Lei Luo, pure small talk.

"Lei Luo, why do you want to become stronger when you work so hard?"

Lei Luo looked at the scroll in his hand without looking back, and replied without thinking: "Do you need a reason to become stronger?" ”

Orochimaru looked stunned for a moment, and then asked in a mocking tone, "Why don't you need a reason?" ”

As if to increase the persuasiveness, Orochimaru gave a few examples: "In a war era like this, human tragedies can happen at any time......"

"Someone's parents and relatives were killed, and they became stronger for revenge."

"Some people face the tragic death of their companions, and become stronger in order to protect them."

"Some people have gone through ups and downs and become stronger for their ideals."

"There are people who aspire to climb to high positions, to become strong in order to be ambitious."

"I don't know, what kind of person are you, Lei Luo?"

When Lei Luo heard Orochimaru's words, his heart was touched, and he gently put down the scroll at the moment, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

After a long time, Lei Luo opened his eyes and said with a little hesitation: "To be honest, I don't know why I want to become stronger, at first I wanted to be able to live smoothly, but now I ......"

"If you have to say it...... Lei Luo said with a hint of uncertainty on his face: "It should be regarded as becoming stronger for the sake of becoming stronger." ”

Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo strangely, and at first glance he couldn't understand it, but a faint recognition unexpectedly appeared in his heart.

"Becoming stronger is supposed to be a means, not an end, but I seem to have found joy in the process."

Lei Luo smiled slightly, and said in a more determined tone: "Master more powerful ninjutsu, develop more invincible abilities, fight stronger opponents, and experience higher scenery." ”

"I guess that's why I'm alive."

"If one day, I really fall on the way forward, it only proves that my efforts are not enough."

Orochimaru instinctively opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything negative, Lei Luo's personality and pursuits were surprisingly similar to his, but they were different from him in nature.

Compared to Lei Luo, Orochimaru's fighting spirit is far less intense, although he also enjoys the process of learning ninjutsu and has mastered a lot of ninjutsu, but he is not completely aimless.

Although it was not clear what the deep longing in his heart was, Orochimaru was afraid of death from the bottom of his heart.

After witnessing the death of his parents and many companions, Orochimaru's life seemed extremely fragile in Orochimaru's eyes, like porcelain that could be shattered at the touch of a button.

Because of this feeling, he perceived the fragility of life.

Because of this, Orochimaru fears death, hates death, and vaguely wants to defeat death, but at present, he has never told anyone what he thinks.

Although it is human nature to be afraid of death, with Orochimaru's identity and pride, he does not allow himself to make the slightest cowardly expression.

However, whenever he witnessed the tragedy that happened in front of him and felt the sadness that emanated when his life was gone, Orochimaru sincerely resisted all this.

During the war years, no one's spirit could remain completely normal, and in this twisted world, life and death were all the more common, and endless pain and sorrow lingered in the hearts of the world.

If there is no Lei Luo's crossing, Lei Tong will lose his last loved one and live alone in the world.

If it weren't for the brutal mission, Yuko wouldn't have gone through a lot of blows and ended up going insane.

If there were no cold-blooded high-level leaders, Aoki Ren and Naoko Sakai would not lose their friends who get along day and night.

If there was no war, Lei Luo's hands would not be stained with blood, and countless families would be destroyed invisibly, although he seems to enjoy it......

Just by Lei Luo's side, there are so many tragedies, so how many people are separated from their wives because of this war in places that he can't see, and in the end they can only live in secret, and die alone?

Sometimes, the living tend to suffer more than the dead.

Orochimaru's seniority is older than Relo's, and after joining the roots, he is able to see more.

And Orochimaru's thinking is obviously not limited by a small country and a village like Tsunade and Jiraiya, so he sometimes feels a little confused.

No matter how much Konoha claims to be righteous and shouts so many slogans, depriving others of their lives is a sin that cannot be washed away, and countless innocent people have lost their lives.

After going through a lot, Orochimaru didn't want to think about those questions that could never be solved, and in the end, all that remained in his heart was the resistance to death.

Death is the end, and it is true.

It's just that he, who is so dedicated, is he really qualified to take on that dream position?

"Lei Luo, is this the meaning of your life?" Orochimaru's voice was a little hoarse, although his usual tone was the same, but at this time, it seemed that there was something more inexplicable.

Before Lei Luo could answer, Orochimaru then said to himself: "Compared to you, I don't have such a lofty pursuit, first survive well, then work hard to cultivate, and finally become the Hokage." ”

"Hokage? It's not bad, it's practical. Lei Luo first praised it, and suddenly asked coldly, "And then?" ”

"What?" As if he hadn't heard clearly, Orochimaru repeated, "What did you say?" ”

"What do you want to do after becoming Hokage?"

Lei Luo turned his head and looked at Orochimaru with interest, but the words in his mouth did not stop: "Your political philosophy, your diplomatic strategy, your management measures...... Have you thought about any of this? ”

"The use of power, the exchange of interests, the handling of contradictions, and the balance of factions......" Lei Luo ignored Orochimaru's increasingly embarrassed face, and his speed of speech became faster and faster unconsciously:

"The will of the people, the power of the ninjas, the injustice of the nobility, the conflict of classes, how are you going to deal with these?"

Orochimaru fell silent for a moment, some of the questions raised by Lei Luo that he had thought about before, but more of them were unheard of.

After all, Orochimaru is only in his twenties now, no matter how talented he is, no matter how mature his mind is, there are some things that he can't touch after all, and no one will tell him.

Sarutobi wouldn't tell him, Danzou wouldn't tell him, and the other two advisors wouldn't do such a thing that could easily cause hidden dangers.

For rulers, ninjas are tools, and this has been the case since the Warring States period, and today's ninja village system is just a different skin.

Including the later Naruto administration, this has not changed in the slightest. The protagonists are treated like this, which shows the horror of fatalism.

Seeing that Orochimaru was speechless when asked by himself, Lei Luo was not surprised.

In fact, even if he himself answered after careful consideration, he could not assert that the result was correct.

It is to be faithful to one's own ideals and innovate to the end, to eliminate all outdated ideas, and to usher in a new life in the world.

It is still necessary to do everything in its power to maintain the existing order, to avoid the expansion of turmoil, and to maintain the fragile balance.

Lei Luo couldn't give an answer, after all, how to make the world a better place was not within his scope of business, and he usually didn't bother to think about it.

The reason why I asked those questions was just because I was idle, to relieve my dull pain in my brain.

"Relo, if you were the Hokage, how would you deal with the above issues?" Orochimaru couldn't answer, so he decisively threw the ball back.

"I'm ......" Lei Luo pondered for a while before he spoke, "To be honest, I don't have a good answer to these questions. ”

"But one thing, I was able to predict." The corners of Lei Luo's mouth curled, and a chilling slit opened in, "It's not a good thing for Konoha to make someone like me a Hokage. ”

Lei Luo's "honesty" surprised Orochimaru, who was the first time he had seen a Konoha ninja who "evaluated" him so much.

"Alright, let's stop the chat."

Lei Luo seemed unwilling to talk about those boring things anymore, and decisively stopped the conversation.

He picked up a handful of special kunai from the ground beside him and slowly spread it out in the palm of his hand, while forming several seals with his other hand.

"Next, let's make you look at something interesting."
