Chapter 24: Speechless
Youzi looked at Lei Luo suspiciously, she thought she knew a lot about the character of this "Lei Luo" after more than half a month of contact. This is a man with a strong personality and at times extremely fierce. Also, his self-confidence or arrogance makes him not like to lie when dealing with others.
This understanding is very one-sided, at least Yuko selectively forgets the scene in the hospital hallway.
The main thing is that Yuko's intuition tells her that Ralo is not lying when he says this, and that is enough.
So Lei Luo really caused a big change in his personality because of some kind of change during the last mission? But he was still who he was, as he could tell from the fact that he could remember the past. Could it be that his initial rhetorical question was just a trick? The purpose is to say goodbye to the past? Same as my previous experience?
After a complicated analysis, Yuko thought that she had understood the "truth", and she quietly breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and her sadness was suspended, but a little anger arose.
"Okay, you bastard Relo! Don't you think that you can look down on me if you have mastered a few powerful techniques? Is it fun to play with your aunt's feelings? You #@**&%! ”
Lei Luo grimaced, feeling a faint pain in his head again.
Yuko scolds when she scolds, and the swear words are not the same, and there is really no reserve of a girl.
"Okay, okay, do you have any questions?" Lei Luo saw that Yuko was quite "talking", and shouted impatiently.
"Absolutely!" Yuko gasped a few times and wanted to drink water, but she resisted the thought. "What's the matter with your speed-up technique? When did you become so strong? ”
Lei Luo already had a draft about this, so he only heard him Shi Ran say: "That technique is the "adventure" of my last mission, and I forgive you for not revealing it. As for my strength...... You guessed it right, I have indeed been hiding my strength. ”
It's about the power of time, and its importance is not the same as "feelings".
If the previous conversation was Lei Luo's accidental outpouring of his true feelings, then now it is the nature of work.
Lei Luo lied without any burden, and his performance was extremely real.
If he gets serious, it's enough to fool the three generations of Hokage, let alone a little girl like Yuko.
Gut feeling? Heh~ It's just that the information is obtained through the micro-expressions inadvertently revealed by the other party, how can he get him as an old actor?
A flash of worry flashed on Lei Luo's face and said, "You asked me why I wanted to hide my strength before, and what was my plan?" Actually, my plan is very simple, just plan ahead. ”
Yuko opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief: "Take precautions? It's that simple? Are you fools? Your strength can't be cultivated overnight, if you don't have a lot of plans, I'll die headfirst! ”
Hey? Yuko, this little girl, still has a little brain.
Lei Luo sighed softly, showed a reminiscing expression, and said slowly: "I think of my parents at the beginning, one is a forbearance, and the other is a middle forbearance, how majestic are they?" Unexpectedly, Jun died young and died early in the mission. I once wondered, why didn't they get a good death for such good people? ”
A hideous look appeared on Lei Luo's face, "It's a high-risk mission for the village!" The Hokage, the higher-ups, these shameless vested interests, uphold the style of making the best use of things, and use all the ninjas in the village as tools, regardless of whether the ninjas' abilities can meet the requirements or not. If you have an order, you have to do it, even if it is death, this is the fate of a ninja. ”
"My father, he has just been promoted to the upper ninja not long ago, and his strength has not even fully met the requirements, so the village can't wait to issue A-level and S-level tasks, without considering whether he has the ability to complete it. Is this trying to get my father on a mission? This is forcing my father to die! Lei Luo roared angrily, startling Yuko.
Immediately after, Lei Luo's tone changed, and there was sadness in his voice that could not be concealed, "Okay, my father died in the mission, and they successfully forced him to die. But I still have my mother, and in order to take care of my younger brother and me, my mother is reluctant to do dangerous tasks anymore, and she can live on her savings. But! Those bastards are high-level, even my mother won't let go! ”
When Yuko heard this, her eyes were already filled with tears, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What did they do?" ”
Lei Luo smiled bitterly: "They spread rumors in the village, saying that my mother is a middle ninja, but she doesn't want to make progress, she only thinks about herself in everything, she is a person who is unwilling to pay for the village, a selfish person, this kind of person is not worthy of being a Konoha ninja at all." ”
Lei Luo's fists clenched, and his body trembled slightly. "Poor my mother fought all her life for Konoha, she didn't cry so sadly when my father died, her heart was like ashes, that's how my mother felt at the time. In this way, the mother of two children was forced to go to the battlefield......"
Lei Luo took a deep breath, his emotions seemed to have calmed down, he glanced at Yuko, who lowered his head and was also silent, and continued, "Since then, I have known that it is not worth paying for such a village. You should know that I am the three attributes of thunder, fire and earth, with my talent, don't you think that my strength is improving very slowly? ”
Without waiting for Yuko to answer, Lei Luo said to himself: "That's just me deliberately showing it to the higher-ups, in order to confuse them, lest I myself be forced to die like my parents one day." Special forbearance, forbearance...... Hey! Is it rare? If it weren't for the fact that it was too suspicious to only show the strength of the lower ninja all the time, do you think I would be willing to promote this middle ninja? ”
Speaking of this, Lei Luo gritted his teeth a little, "Even if it's like this, even if it's like this!" They're still sending me on dangerous reconnaissance missions! Do you know who I met on my last mission? There are seven ninja swords, and there are three generations of Mizukage! If I hadn't been hiding my strength, do you think I would have come back alive? ”
Yuko's pupils shrank sharply, and she couldn't help but exclaim.
Lei Luo put his hands behind his back and said with a look of seeing through the red dust: "After this mission, I have a deep understanding of the importance of hidden strength. Think about it, with my strength, I will die if I do the task of the middle ninja, so what if I really become the upper ninja? Isn't it ten deaths? ”
After the words fell, Lei Luo quickly walked to Yuko's side and said in a low voice: "Although this mission almost cost me my life, I also gained a little adventure, although I didn't lose but I didn't make money." But I happened to get another piece of information that made me think it was worth the risk. ”
Without waiting for Yuko to react, Lei Luo spoke quickly about the information, he seemed to suppress his excitement, but also with a little relief: "In a short time, the country of wind and the country of rain will cease war and attack the country of fire with all their might. At that time, Konoha will face the pressure of Sand Hidden and Rainy Hide, can Konoha really withstand it? ”
Yuko's tone trembled slightly, "Lei Luo, is this true?" ”
Lei Luo said calmly: "Time will prove whether what I said is true or false, there may be errors in the specific situation, but the general direction will definitely not change, I will not lie to you on such an important matter, after all, ......"
Lei Luo paused for a moment and said slowly, "Since I brought you out of the village, it means that I care about you." There's no need for me to lie to you here. ”
When Yuko heard this, she finally understood what Lei Luo's so-called "plan for a rainy day" was going on.
If the situation that Lei Luo said really happened, then Konoha would definitely be in an extremely unfavorable situation.
If... If Konoha is really finished, their gang of Konoha ninjas will indeed have to plan early.
In this way, the reason why Lei Luo has such a strong strength, but still stays in Konoha seems to be guessable: it is because he sees that "the building is about to fall" and wants to fish in troubled waters.
However, after Lei Luo's "words and deeds" just now, Yuko thought carefully about her life experience: being neglected by her family when she was a child, being bullied by her classmates at school, seeing her lover die on a ninja mission, and being ostracized by the villagers after waking up, and then the death of her parents, the discrimination of ninjas in the same village, and the black hand that faintly manipulated the rumors behind it......
A hidden deep hatred welled up from her heart, and not only did she not feel uneasy about Lei Luo's ill-intentioned stay in Konoha, but instead gave rise to a wave of anticipation.
Although Yuko usually giggles and seems to be heartless, has she really forgotten these pains?
Lei Luo didn't think so, after this period of contact, coupled with the comparison in his memory, Lei Luo easily made a judgment: Youzi, a girl who was desperate and deliberately indulgent, made the whole talent a little decadent. But Yuko is a strong person, she is not defeated by pain, but chooses to bury her hatred in her heart and face the bleak life.
Although she was discriminated against and ostracized, she did not lose her joy in life, so she longed to go out of the village and see outside, because she longed for freedom.
Although she witnessed the tragic death of her lover, she did not lose the ability to love and be loved, so she would seem to tremble when Lei Luo was angry, and cry so sadly when she thought that "Lei Luo" was replaced by another person, because she was afraid of losing again.
The most important thing is that she must have a hatred for Konoha in her heart, for the higher-ups, and for the Hokage, so she is qualified to know some of Lei Luo's secrets.
As it turned out, Lei Luo judged correctly, and when Lei Luo asked Yuko, "What are you going to do?" "Times.
Yuko just replied flatly: "Konoha has nothing to do with me anymore, if it is destroyed, I will only like to hear it." ”
Yuko exhaled lightly and said, "Lei Luo, no matter what your purpose is, I am willing to help you with all my might, this is not just revenge on Konoha." It's all the more because I ......" The corners of her mouth hooked, and she smiled, "I want to get out of the cage of Konoha with you." ”
Lei Luo was stunned for a moment, and finally showed a relieved smile, he finally didn't have to worry about whether to kill Yuko or wash away Yuko's memory, because they would become companions and suck a mouthful of blood together on the "sinking" ship of Konoha.
"Yuko, trust me, Konoha is just a stepping stone. One day, we will be able to enjoy the view of the world's highest peak. Lei Luo's tone was firm, this was what he meant from the heart.
"Hmm!" Yuko nodded heavily, her eyes no longer confused.
For her, leaving Konoha is a new lease of life.
As for being listed as a traitor or something, she didn't care anymore, and the canary that flew out of the cage wouldn't want to be restrained anymore.
The taste of freedom is sweet, she longs to be an eagle soaring in the blue sky, and she trusts Relo to help her achieve her goals.
The reason for this trust, Lei Luo's strong strength only accounts for a small part, and the emotional accumulation of many years and the emotional resonance just now are the most important.
Truth be told, Yuko discovers his secret, which already dooms her: either become his companion or be killed or her memories washed away.
From the beginning to the end, Lei Luo never thought of getting someone loyal to Konoha to accompany him, it would not be in his interests, and it would reveal his secrets.
What he needed was a companion who could help him wholeheartedly.
This companion's way of looking at the problem should be based on his personal standpoint, not Konoha's.
Lei Luo came to this strange world, loneliness and anxiety never left his heart, no matter how tenacious his will was, he would feel pain after all.
He also wanted someone he trusted to talk to him and share some of his secrets, even if only partially.
Regarding the specific experience of his predecessor's parents, Lei Luo didn't lie too much, but just looked at these things from a different angle, and distorted the true psychology of the two old people by the way, in order to provoke Yuko's unbearable past and completely turn her around.
Fortunately, the two who have a clear purpose will no longer care about these old things at this time.
Yuko doesn't care, and neither does Relo.
Anyway, he is "Lei Luo", not "Foot Lei Luo".
