Lei Luo saw the confusion on Uchiha Fugaku's face and briefly explained: "The reason is very simple, because I am a very controlling person."
"If I become Hokage, I will never tolerate a family as powerful and free as the Uchiha under me."
Now that the topic has been discussed, Lei Luo feels comfortable in his chest and is too lazy to worry about anything else:
"The same goes for Hinata. I really don't see the need for the existence of something like a caged bird that distorts human nature."
"In my territory, the ninja clan may still exist, but it must be maintained within a scale that I can tolerate in order to facilitate unified dispatch."
Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku seemed dumbfounded, Lei Luo couldn't help but raise a sinister smile at the corners of his mouth, and clenched his fists unconsciously, with veins popping out:
"When the internal integration is completed, Konoha will have only one will, and that is my will."
"Then I will reform the Ninja School, implement advanced military concepts, develop technology, and recruit civilian ninjas on a large scale, covering the entire Fire Country."
"Finally, I will launch a war. The goal is to eliminate all ninja villages in the world, no matter how big or small. There will only be one political power on this continent."
The impassioned speech ended here. As for the goal to be achieved after that, Lei Luo didn't say anything, and Uchiha Fugaku didn't ask, just because the latter was completely shocked by the "ambition" Lei Luo said at this moment.
It can no longer be described by words such as "ambition" and "dream". In Uchiha Fugaku's view, Lei Luo's remarks are more like the whispers of a madman and the whispers of a devil.
"Are you...serious?" Uchiha Fugaku suddenly felt his throat was a little dry. He wanted to ridicule Lei Luo, but when it came to his lips, he couldn't say the words.
Lei Luo stared at Uchiha Fugaku, a majestic aura faintly emanated from him, and he asked with extremely clear enunciation: "Do you think I am joking with you?"
The two sides just looked at each other in silence, and during this time their eyes met, as if a little spark was flying across the sky.
Time seemed to have passed in an instant, and then it seemed to have passed a long time, until Uchiha Fugaku spoke again, his tone was like frost: "Madman! You will never become Hokage! Absolutely!"
Uchiha Fugaku's face became more solemn than ever, probably because the man standing in front of him was more dangerous with his thoughts than his strength.
It's like the darkest night, as scary as an abyss with no bottom.
Lei Luo didn't speak for a while, but slowly regained his momentum, and his expression turned calm again.
After a moment, he replied in a casual tone: "That's... hard to say."
…
The two parties eventually broke up on bad terms, and Uchiha Fugaku hurried away with a pair of weak arms drooped, as if some savage beast was chasing him behind him.
Lei Luo sat alone by the bed, rarely turning over the ninjutsu scrolls, but just sitting there quietly, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, Lei Luo came back to his senses and suddenly said: "After listening to this for so long, come in and sit down."
Although there was no one in the tent, there was no one outside.
Sure enough, Orochimaru's figure flashed past the door and walked in with a smile on his face. Before he could get close to Lei Luo, he joked: "It seems that the negotiation is not going well."
When Lei Luo heard this, he raised his head and chuckled: "He's just a brat with empty ideals. His demands are too outrageous. Even I can't do anything about it."
Hearing this, Orochimaru glanced at the messy room, which was caused by the brief fight between Lei Luo and Uchiha Fugaku. If this kind of "negotiation" can succeed, Orochimaru will really have to admire Lei Luo.
Fortunately, Orochimaru had gradually become accustomed to the "Lelo-style" communication method, and he didn't care about all this. He pulled up a chair that was still intact and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Orochimaru asked impatiently: "What you said to Uchiha Fugaku before, are those your true thoughts?"
Lei Luo glanced at Orochimaru coldly, then withdrew his gaze and remained silent, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense.
Unexpectedly, Orochimaru nodded understandingly when he saw this, and said with emotion: "It's really a "grand" ambition. No wonder you said to me before: "It's best not to let people like me become Hokage."
.”
"If you really become Hokage, the world will be in catastrophe, right?"
"So..." Orochimaru stared at Lei Luo in amusement, and asked the other party: "Is your goal to unify the ninja world?"
"Haha..." Lei Luo sneered when he heard this, and responded without saltiness: "Unify the ninja world? That is not my goal."
"If I insist on saying so, it's just a means, a process, not a result."
Hearing this, Orochimaru became really curious, "If this is not the result, then what is your goal?"
"I have only one goal from beginning to end..." Lei Luo pondered for a while, and it took a long time before he uttered the last sentence, which was only one short word:
"resource."
Resources, this word is easy to understand, but Orochimaru can't figure it out. The goal of Lei Luo's grand ideal is just to obtain resources?
So, what kind of resources does Lei Luo want to obtain?
With Lei Luo's current strength and position, what resources are there that he wants but can't get?
The confusion in his heart was immediately reflected on Orochimaru's face, but Lei Luo was not interested in answering this time:
Probably because everyone has different ideas, values, and world views, the meaning of the word "resource" is completely different in Orochimaru's eyes and in Lei Luo's eyes.
It can even be said that the understanding of "resources" between the two parties is completely different.
Lei Luo didn't want others to understand his true motives, nor did he bother to explain anything, so he just stopped here.
But, is that really the end of it?
Today's conversation with Uchiha Fugaku accidentally made Lei Luo aware of his true intentions that he had hidden for a long time and had almost forgotten. For this reason, he was somewhat unable to let go.
He is a mercenary, barely a soldier, so he longs for war, troubled times, and a violent future. This is the desire in his bones.
But if only one person is invincible, how much impact can he have on the entire world?
The "resources" he wants cannot be obtained by him alone.
After all, manpower is sometimes scarce.
Lei Luo thought to himself that when his strength reaches a certain stage, if he wants to continue to improve, the strength of the group may be indispensable.
He never underestimates the wisdom of others, and "wisdom" is also a resource.
Thinking might help him figure out what his next step should be, right?
