Chapter 446: Story
Between the three words, the polite words passed.
The old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles cleared his throat, his eyes seemed to be casual, but in fact he stared at Lei Luo extremely seriously, and asked softly:
"I don't know what the purpose of His Excellency Lei Luo's visit to our Kato clan this time is?"
Finding that the old guy on the other side had a faint vigilance in his expression, and his behavior was even more cautious, Lei Luo smiled, put down the teacup that he had just taken a sip in his hand, and replied in a gentle tone:
"It's simple......"
Coughing lightly, Lei Luo pretended to have a melancholy expression, and slowly told the story that he had made up a few days ago:
"That was about three years ago, and I was just a shinobi ......"
As Lei Luo's words came out, Kato Kiyoshi and Kato Rika gradually figured out what was going on:
To summarize it broadly, Lei Luo encountered a group of tricky enemies during a mission three years ago when he happened to be alone:
It's a gang of bandits composed of several renegade ninjas from the outer village and a dozen wandering ninjas.
Since the leader of the team and the two teammates were not around, Lei Luo naturally fell into a life and death crisis.
After all, according to Relo, he was still very weak enough to withstand the siege of so many ninjas, and he was almost certain to die in that situation.
However, just as Lei Luo was about to die, a ninja of the Kato clan appeared in time and tried his best to save Lei Luo, who was on the line at the time, regardless of the countless attacks from the enemy.
Therefore, after the two broke out of the encirclement, the ninja of the Kato clan finally died of serious injuries, and before he died, he confessed to Lei Luo:
"That's all I have for the rest of my life, but I still feel unwilling......"
"The patriarch of my clan is now old, and the eldest lady is too young as a direct seedling......
"The loneliness of our Kato clan is just around the corner, so I'm worried, I can't rest assured......"
"Lei Luo, if you have the ability in the future, I hope to help my clan, so ......"
"I'll die without regrets."
After saying these words, the ninja of the Kato clan swallowed his breath directly.
Lei Luo secretly kept this matter in his heart, thinking about one day
We must fulfill the instructions of this "benefactor".
Since then, Lei Luo has cultivated hard, and after a series of difficult battles, he finally has the strength he has now.
Thinking that he is now a "flying yellow and prosperous", Lei Luo thought about repaying his past kindness.
In this way, he came to the door today, and the object of "repaying the favor" is the entire Kato clan, including the eldest lady that the Kato clan ninja never forgot before he died-Kato Sato.
When he finished speaking, Lei Luo's face also unconsciously lowered.
His brow furrowed, as if he was grieving over the past.
In his gaze, there was something indescribable:
It seems to be mourning, it seems to be nostalgia, it seems to be gratitude, in short, the composition is extremely complex.
After listening to Lei Luo's story, Kato Kiyoshi secretly observed the former's expression, and didn't see any flaws, so he began to recall the person involved in Lei Luo's story - the Kato ninja who saved Lei Luo but unfortunately died himself.
The person Lei Luo said should be Gangzhi. ’
It was true that the boy had died three years earlier, and it was true that he had died during a mission to wipe out the rebel group. ’
Unexpectedly, the cause of Gangzhi was actually involved with Lei Luo, which is really ...... Time is also fate. ’
Thinking of one of the young people in the side department, who he used to be very optimistic about, Kato Qing was silent, and he had already believed ninety percent of what Lei Luo said.
After all, the characters, time, place, and events are all right, and Kato Kiyoshi can't believe it.
The rest of the Issei is because Kato Kiyoshi thought of the relationship between Lei Luo and Tuan Zang in time.
As a result, he instinctively suspected that the other party had used the power in Tuan Zang's hands to inquire about the relevant files.
But......
Lei Luo's purpose and motive are very simple, and it is clear that this trip is to repay his kindness, and he does not seek wealth or profit, so there is no need to spend so much energy to understand the situation back then.
In particular, their Kato clan now only has two direct members, and I am afraid that it is not enough to make a big man like Lei Luo treat him differently.
In this way, the last doubt was dispelled.
At the same time, when he learned that his clan had such a deep relationship with Lei Luo, Kato Qing was surprised and happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but think a little carefully.
"Your Excellency Lei Luo, you understand what the old man meant."
First, he also put on a sad expression, as if he was remembering the clansman named Kato Tsuyoshi, Kato Kiyoshi eased up for a while, and then said in a deep voice:
"The matter of Gangzhi, I once heard Hokage-sama mention it, but I didn't expect that child to have this kind of relationship with you."
"Now it seems that Gangzhi not only has the will of fire in the true sense, but also the pride of our Kato clan."
"Although he died, his character, his will, has been passed down forever, and it is worth learning from all of us."
In this remark, Kato Kiyoshi said with a full voice and aura, and a little tear faintly appeared in the corners of his eyes, which seemed to prove:
That's exactly what he thought.
On the other side, after Kato Kiyoshi's "reminder", Lei Luo glanced at the old man unexpectedly, and suddenly found ...... Kiyoshi Kato's attitude seems to be different from what he originally imagined.
'It's kind of interesting. ’
The things that were inadvertently probed out made Lei Luo lift his spirits a little, so he also wiped the corners of his eyes as if he was wiping tears, and sighed:
"It's a pity that Gangzhi has passed away now, and I can't repay him personally."
"Patriarch Qing, now that you know the purpose of my visit, then what difficulties the Kato clan has at present, please tell me."
"Although it is a bit rude to say this, I Lei Luo really want to repay this kindness, and it is true...... I want to do what I can for the Kato family. ”
What Lei Luo said was sincere, but Kato Kiyoshi seemed to be a little embarrassed for a while, and he couldn't speak.
As a result, the atmosphere in the audience was silent for a while.
On the side, Kato Rika first secretly glanced at her father, and then carefully swept Lei Luo for a moment with the corner of her eye.
'Gangzhi? Who's that? ’
The doubts in his heart were shown on his face, that is, he was at a loss, and Rika Kato obviously did not know: when did such a number one person emerge in his family.
She had heard what she had just said, and looking at the way her father and Lei Luo looked, this person was obviously very important to them.
But...... Why don't you have any impression at all?
Actually, for Tsuyoshi Kato-
Such a collateral son of the Kato family, with mediocre talents, and a clansman who is still single at the age of seventeen or eighteen, Kato Rika naturally cannot have an impression.
After all, after the end of the world line, she became the only seedling of the Kato family, and in the process of growing up, she can be described as a collection of thousands of favors, and she is a veritable "eldest lady of the clan".
The gap in identity makes Sayaka Kato and Tsuyoshi Kato almost have any intersection, how can she know about Tsuyoshi Kato?
In particular, Kato Tsuyoshi is a person who was specially screened by Lei Luo from Konoha's dossier, a Kato clan whose parents are dead, withdrawn and unwilling to come into contact with people.
