Lei Luo noticed the figure following behind him, and on the surface, he didn't pretend not to know, but he was hesitating in his heart, whether to have an in-depth exchange with Orochimaru right now and get some benefits along the way.

To be honest, he still has some capital.

But in the end, Lei Luo decided to give up.

One is that he can't tell whether Orochimaru has the idea of "eternal life" during this period, and how loyal he is to Konoha is.

The second is that there was some unpleasantness just now, and they are both wary of each other, and I am afraid that the effect will not be good if they are in a hurry.

The third is that the guy in Tuan Zang should have noticed himself, Lei Luo didn't dare to guarantee that he had just been open and honest with Orochimaru here, and Tuan Zang got the news over there.

Whether it was the matter that stabbed the ape Fei Ri or was pinched by Tuan Zang, it was undoubtedly passive.

And Lei Luo does things and always likes to take the initiative.

It's just that, although he can't make anything clear at the moment, Lei Luo still feels that he should talk to the big snake pill behind him.

After all, this thing is also a scientist in the ninja world, even if the idea of obtaining resources is ruled out, Lei Luo is willing to make friends with him, and this is why he gently let go of the illusion matter.

Otherwise, with Lei Luo's temper, who would dare to offend him so unreasonably, he would have rushed up at three times the speed and did it.

The two of them walked one after the other, and both of them became interested in each other, so they quickly chatted.

"Orochimaru Shangnin, I'm not a big guy either, so you can remove the "Jun" after my name, just call me Lei Luo. Lei Luo said casually to Orochimaru.

In Lei Luo's opinion, this guy Orochimaru was quite civilized and polite before he gradually became perverted.

After all, he is a scholar and an intellectual, and he has a lot of ink in his stomach, so he has a scholar-like grace between conversations.

Orochimaru smiled, "Then don't call me Orochimaru, anyway, with your strength, you should be at the same level as me when you go back this time, so just call me Orochimaru." ”

In Orochimaru's opinion, Lei Luo, a young man, probably has no ill will towards the village, which can be seen from his previous performance on the battlefield. If it weren't for the mission, Orochimaru wouldn't have bothered to test Lei Luo.

Now that the suspicion is dispelled, it is also quite interesting to get to know this mysterious young man in depth, just to dispel the boring time.

"Okay." Lei Luo responded, and then took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Orochimaru, I remember that your group of ninjas are not stationed in the Land of Rain?" How did you get here? ”

Orochimaru said casually: "This is not far from the Land of Rain...... Immediately after, he looked at Lei Luo with deep meaning and said, "Besides, if it weren't for being so close, do you think the village would dare to implement this kind of plan so easily?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Lei Luo replied nonchalantly, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic more. "There are more than 200 ninjas here, can the battlefield of the Land of Rain hold up?"

"There is also Minister Shuomao in the Land of Rain, and it won't be in the way without a few of us." Although Orochimaru's tone was low and hoarse, when he said this, Lei Luo could still hear that he was not worried about the situation in the Land of Rain.

Lei Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Minister Shuomao?" Flag Wood Shuo Mao? That white fang? Isn't he the Minister of the Shadows? It's not the job of the shadows, is it? ”

The corners of Orochimaru's mouth hooked, and he replied, "Lei Luo, I found that you don't seem to have any respect for Minister Shuomao, don't the ninjas in the village call him Lord Shuomao when they mention him?" ”

Lei Luo said noncommittally: "I have always disliked calling others "adults", and I seem to be humble and insignificant. ”

Orochimaru became interested, "Oh? What about Mr. Ape Fei? You also call the third generation Hokage? ”

Lei Luo's cheeks twitched, and he said helplessly: "Isn't that no way?" Everyone else calls it that, but wouldn't I feel uncomfortable if I don't call it that? At least Hagi Sakumo can't control me, but Hokage-sama is my direct boss. ”

Orochimaru secretly said in his heart: Lei Luo, this kid really doesn't have a little awe...... In this environment of Konoha, how did you cultivate such a wonderful flower? However, he Orochimaru doesn't seem to be qualified to talk about others, because as a disciple of three generations and a strong person at the same time, he also belongs to the "adult" in the eyes of others.

As a modern person, Lei Luo is still a mercenary who wanders on the edge of life and death all year round, and his values are naturally different from the ordinary natives in the Hokage. In his view, the so-called "adult" is just a kind of "servility" left over from the feudal era.

If it weren't for the fact that Konoha and Sarutobi could still bring him benefits, and rashly showing the difference might attract suspicion, with his temperament, he wouldn't have called it that way a long time ago.

"Then again...... Orochimaru looked at Lei Luo and said bluntly: "Lei Luo, you shouldn't know the division of functions in the village." ”

Lei Luo was a little interested, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

Orochimaru coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"You should know that the shadows belong directly to the Hokage, and their duties include but are not limited to patrolling, guarding the Hokage, guarding prisons, counterintelligence, etc., and the nature of their work is very different from that of ordinary ninjas." Orochimaru paused for a moment, waiting for Lei Luo to finish digesting, "Of course, this is the work of the Shadow Department in peacetime.

As for the wartime, the focus is more on infiltration, assassination, intelligence spy, sabotage behind enemy lines, etc. ”

Lei Luo frowned in contemplation, digesting the details. After a moment, he asked, "The reason why Hachiki Sakumo stayed in the Land of Rain is because there is a war between the village and Yugakure now, so the course of action of the Shadow Department is to take an offensive trend?" ”

"It's not entirely because of the work of the Shadows." Orochimaru's face flashed with a look of imperceptible admiration. "A ninja as powerful as Sakushige Hachiki is far from being something that can be defined by a member of the Shadows. His role in the Land of Rain is more symbolic than practical, and there are not many opportunities for him to intervene. ”

Lei Luo thought for a while, and said firmly: "Containment, deterrence...... I don't think he would have gone to the battlefield if it weren't for a big battle. ”

Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "Lei Luo, you have a good understanding. As the nominal commander after the departure of Mr. Sarutobi, Hagi Shuomao was not responsible for strategy formulation, nor logistics and transportation, and even the affairs of the dark department were very little. ”

"There is only one thing that Hachiki Shuomao needs to do: when Sanshoyu Hanzo appears, go up and contain him."

Lei Luo nodded knowingly, "Most of the time the ninja battles are encounters between small forces, so there are really not many opportunities for the strong to make a move, and they can only play a deterrent role." ”

The gap between the strength of the top ninjas in this world and the bottom ninjas is huge, and it is difficult for the bottom ninjas to rely on their numbers to make up for this gap, because the killing efficiency of the top ninjas is too high, and their mobility is very strong, and there is almost no situation of being besieged.

This may be the reason why there are few large-scale battles in the ninja world, because they rely too much on the performance of top ninjas. Before the real fight, the top ninjas must not be able to accurately measure each other's strength and weakness, and the two opposing forces have to take a lot of risks for the victory or defeat of the top ninjas.

Unless it's a desperate gamble, no one wants to start a battle.

It's a question of both risk and casualty. After all, the war in the ninja world is only to plunder resources and weaken the strength of other countries, and even if hatred exists, it is controllable, and there is no need for everyone to fight out all the dog's brains.

Even if it is an enemy, there is a tacit understanding between the top leaders of the villages.

Sure enough, because of the imbalance of force, the scarcity of ninjas, and the monopoly of ninjutsu, I am afraid that this world will never see a collision between large corps, front armies, and group army groups, and Lei Luo deeply regrets this.

Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo strangely, and always felt that a look of regret had just flashed on this young man's face, was it an illusion?
