Walking through the crowded camp, Lei Luo keenly noticed that many ninjas around him were pointing at him, which made him feel a little unhappy again.
Although they seemed to have no ill intentions and their voices were very low, and it seemed that they were just out of curiosity, Lei Luo was still disgusted by this:
It was like I turned into a monkey and was watched by many spectators.
It was hard for Lei Luo to say anything about this, as it might appear that he was narrow-minded and would cause more serious discussions.
Feeling a little irritated, Lei Luo quickened his pace a little. At this time, Orochimaru also got rid of Jiraiya and walked side by side beside Lei Luo.
The two walked for a while, during which no one spoke.
But soon, Lei Luo couldn't bear it anymore.
"By the way, I haven't asked you until now..." Turning his head slightly and glancing at Orochimaru beside him, Lei Luo asked in a stiff tone:
"Why did you reveal my name to Tsunade and Jiraiya? Aren't you afraid that Danzo would fall out with you?"
"And what's in it for you?"
Orochimaru was stunned for a second, and then he also noticed the whispering people around him, and immediately understood the reason for the change in his attitude.
After all, Lei Luo had never mentioned this matter before.
"I thought you didn't care."
Orochimaru smiled knowingly, and then without waiting for Lei Luo to refute anything, he directly showed a slightly disdainful expression:
"Danzo? Haha..."
The word "hehe" perfectly expresses Orochimaru's attitude towards Danzo, as if Lei Luo's first question is not worth answering at all.
But after Orochimaru thought about it, he still gave Lei Luo a little explanation: "Although I added the root, it is only in name."
"Duanzo wants to use my talents to accomplish something, and I also use the other person's resources, so our relationship is not strictly superior and subordinate."
"You can think of this as a kind of cooperation." Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo, and the meaning was self-evident.
It's like saying: There is no essential difference between you and me. Everyone knows why we are close to Danzo.
Lei Luo nodded thoughtfully:
After all, Danzo is like a platform.
It is a platform for people like yourself and Orochimaru who are ambitious, but are limited by the overall values of Konoha's environment, and are depressed all day long, and want to seek development.
From this point of view, Danzo's existence is still necessary: not only to take the blame, but also to reduce Konoha's internal hidden dangers, concentrate various unstable factors, and turn them into a sharp steel knife to unanimously expose the outside world.
.
Of course, most of the "risks" were collected by Danzo through "violent" means (brainwashing, sealing), and this process is destined to be unharmonious.
He was fine because he was strong enough. He was so strong that Danzo couldn't bear to have any confidence in dealing with him, so he took action rashly and the gain outweighed the loss, so he tended to cooperate.
As for Orochimaru...
"Although I don't want to admit it, my identity as a third-generation disciple still makes Danzo jealous." Orochimaru seemed to understand Lei Luo's eyes and shrugged helplessly.
"Just being a third-generation disciple doesn't seem to allow you to be so unscrupulous in front of Danzo." Lei Luo said with profound meaning, obviously unable to accept this level of reason.
"Orochimaru, I suggest you think about it before you talk."
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet for a second or two.
Orochimaru frowned and pondered for a while, seeming to be thinking about something, and Lei Luo was sensible enough not to disturb him.
The two sides just remained silent and moved forward in tacit understanding, as if nothing had happened.
But Orochimaru knew that Lei Luo's attitude was actually very clear:
You Orochimaru can choose to tell the truth, lie, or even say nothing at all.
However, this will affect my impression of you.
It seems like nothing.
But is it really nothing?
The weighing time did not take long, Orochimaru quickly made a decision.
He first pretended to be nothing, glanced around, then lowered his voice and said quickly:
"In recent years, Danzo has been secretly conducting an experiment. He can't do it without me."
The words stopped here, Orochimaru did not reveal more, but Lei Luo had already inferred some interesting things from this limited information.
Wood escape?
Has it started now?
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to test it out. He seemed to say unintentionally: "I heard that the first generation of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was called Uzumaki Mito, right?"
"She seems to be alive now?"
"It's just that at her age, she won't be able to sustain it for long, right?"
Lei Luo's question seemed to be wrong, but Orochimaru's pupils shrank slightly and his pace subconsciously slowed down.
Wood Release can restrain the Jinchuuriki. Many people know this information. After all, the first Hokage has set an example.
Uzumaki Mito's time is short, and the risk of transferring the tailed beast is extremely high. Therefore, the research on wood escape has been quietly started for a long time.
Lei Luo suddenly mentioned the Jinchuuriki at this time, which was probably not an accident.
He wanted to continue walking forward, but Orochimaru raised his leg and finally stopped.
He turned his head and asked in a nonchalant tone: "Did you guess it? Or did Danzo tell you?"
Orochimaru's question also seemed to have no beginning or end, but it made Lei Luo confirm his judgment.
While thinking about how to get a piece of the pie, Lei Luo asked unhurriedly: "Is this important?"
After staring at Lei Luo's calm face for ten seconds, Orochimaru turned around and said word by word: "It's really not important."
How could it not be important?!
Then, Orochimaru quickly added: "To a certain extent, Danzo has become more and more unscrupulous in recent years in order to obtain "that" power..."
"The old guy has regarded "that" as a taboo. All information has been strictly blocked. All insiders have been ordered to silence or even be wiped out. Theoretically speaking..."
"So?" Lei Luo interrupted the other party directly and asked.
"So I advise you to be careful, no, be cautious."
Are you afraid that Danzo will do something irrational if he finds out that I know this information?
Or, are you worried that I will take some "bold" action for this?
Lei Luo shook his head indifferently. Although he was very interested in the first-generation cells, it was only to increase the amount of chakra.
To be honest, Lei Luo is really not interested in Nao Shi Zi Mu Dun: after developing Time Stop, who can compare with him in terms of control ability?
Tailed beast? After supplementing the wide-area destructive power, Lei Luo is not at all inferior to those beasts who only rely on instinct to fight.
He still understands that ability is more valuable than finesse.
As long as he makes full use of his time ability, Lei Luo thinks that no one is qualified to be his opponent.
But this did not prevent him from coveting the first-generation cells. After all, they were a rare "resource".
Lei Luo noticed that Orochimaru was a little nervous and smiled inwardly. It seemed that this guy didn't always look at ease.
Lei Luo didn't know how bad his impression was in Orochimaru's heart: a lunatic, a reckless man, a monster, an exquisite egoist...
Orochimaru knew Lei Luo's greed, so he was really afraid that this guy would do something uncontrollable under impulse.
I'm afraid no one wants to see that kind of result, including him, Orochimaru.
"You..." Lei Luo opened his mouth and was about to tell Orochimaru his "plan" when he suddenly found a person blocking the way in front of him.
Lei Luo immediately shut up and looked up:
This man has black hair and black eyes. He looks young. The two deep grooves on his cheeks add to his maturity.
He stood there quietly, Gujing Wubo's eyes looking directly at Lei Luo. From that look, it seemed that he already knew Lei Luo's route, so he had been waiting here for a long time.
"Uchiha Fugaku?" Lei Luo murmured in a slightly uncertain tone, but it also attracted Orochimaru's attention and liberated him from the fear that filled his heart.
Seeing the figure not far ahead, Orochimaru raised a smile on his lips and said hello in a hoarse voice: "Is this Fugaku?"
Uchiha Fugaku first nodded politely towards Orochimaru, then turned his eyes to Lei Luo and said in a nostalgic tone:
"I didn't expect you still remember me, Lei Luo."
Lei Luo looked at Uchiha Fugaku strangely, somewhat confused as to why he was looking for him.
If I remember correctly, last time in the village, Uchiha Fugaku suspected that he was some kind of "outside village spy", and the two sides even had some unpleasantness over this.
But it was just a trivial matter after all, and Lei Luo didn't have to show off to the other party because of this matter.
"Of course I remember, the young leader of the Uchiha clan."
"What's the matter with you?" Lei Luo asked calmly, as if he didn't care about the previous contradiction at all.
Seeing that Lei Luo's expression was normal, Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief and put on a kind smile on his face:
"It's nothing, I just want to talk to you."
"I haven't apologized to you in person for the last misunderstanding... I hope you can give me this chance." Uchiha Fugaku smiled awkwardly, and then said as if he suddenly thought of something:
"By the way, we seem to be in the same period."
"Oh?" Lei Luo felt strange, obviously not understanding Uchiha Fugaku's intention to get close to him.
But don't hit the smiling person. Since Uchiha Fugaku's attitude is so friendly, Lei Luo doesn't mind making friends with him.
