"Sealed book?" Kato Dan glanced at Lei Luo strangely, and then said to himself as if he was recalling something: "In our family's history, there seems to be no record of spiritual transformation techniques submitted to the village."
"This technique has always been passed down by word of mouth in our Kato family. There should be no possibility of leakage...right?" Kato Dan's face looked slightly embarrassed, his mouth opened slightly, and the tone of the last word was loud.
The audience fell silent for a moment, Lei Luo lowered his head, and the bangs on his forehead inadvertently covered his eyes, making the other two unable to notice the change in his eyes.
"So this is ah."
Sighing slightly, Lei Luo slowly stretched out his palm to rub his forehead, and tapped the fingers of his other hand lightly on the table, as if there was some troublesome problem lingering in his mind.
Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo calmly, turned to Kato Dan and said: "Is it true that you can't teach Lei Luo? It's just a ninjutsu, and it doesn't require all the inheritance of your family, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
"You don't know something..." The bitter smile on Kato Dan's face lingered. It was obvious that this decision was very important to him, and it was definitely not something he made at once.
After all, Kato Dan was unwilling to offend Lei Luo.
But there are some things that you can’t just do whatever you want. There must be a bottom line.
"The art of spiritual transformation is the core of a series of soul secret arts of our Kato clan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation of inheritance."
As Kato Dan explained, he glanced at Lei Luo with the corner of his eye, but the latter seemed not to have heard and still sat there with his head lowered.
Only the surface of the table, the fingertips that kept rising and then falling, proved that Lei Luo seemed to be thinking about something.
In desperation, Kato Dan had to tell the whole truth: "The art of spiritual transformation was accidentally invented by my great-grandfather. There are too many secrets involved in it, and I really can't reveal it."
"What's more, apart from members of our family, if outsiders use it, they are likely to encounter serious hidden dangers. If they are unlucky, it may endanger their lives."
When he said this, Kato Dan's face became very serious, and his words contained a warning, obviously he was not joking.
"Besides..." Kato Dan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lei Luo seriously and said sincerely: "Lei Luo, you are one of the few top combatants in Konoha. I really don't want anything to happen to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kato straightened his back unconsciously, and looked at Lei Luo without blinking, waiting intently for the latter's reaction.
Lei Luo raised his head when he heard the words, and the movements of his hands stopped. Their eyes collided, and some information seemed to merge invisibly, which made Lei Luo frown slightly.
The sincerity and firmness in Kato Dan's eyes did not seem to be fake, which gave Lei Luo a slight headache. One of them was that this deal was probably a scam.
Secondly... the art of spiritual transformation may actually have some skills. It is not as easy to master as the ordinary forbidden arts. Lei Luo didn't know what would happen if he practiced it forcefully.
After all, Lei Luo's countercurrent can only reverse the time of his body. It is not yet known whether it can affect the soul.
Although he can recall the memories of others, whether this is related to the soul or not, Lei Luo, who lacks the means of observation, does not know why.
It's just... Although there are many unknowns, Lei Luo still doesn't want to give up, just because the art of spiritual transformation is a rare ninjutsu that is related to the soul and spirit.
The improvement of his mental power is likely to mean the next evolution of the power of time, which means that he is likely to awaken some powerful derivative abilities again.
Even if there is only a slight possibility of success, Lei Luo will try his best to fight for it.
After all, the thing in this world is: if you do it, you may succeed or you may fail.
But if you don’t do it, you will definitely fail.
Therefore, Lei Luo spoke. He did not express any opinion on Kato Dan's concern for him, but asked with a slightly regretful attitude: "Really don't think about it anymore?"
When asked this question, Lei Luo's expression did not change. At least from the outside, there was no sense of frustration at not achieving his goal.
Kato Dan thought that Lei Luo had given up on asking for the spiritual transformation technique, and his current attitude was probably just because he didn't want to lose face, so he decisively refused:
"No."
After saying that, Kato Dan smiled awkwardly again, "I'm sorry, Lei Luo, to disappoint you."
"It's nothing." Lei Luo waved his hand, still maintaining his proper demeanor and smiling: "Although it didn't work this time, we have finally gotten to know each other, so it's over."
"I hope we can cooperate next time." Lei Luo stood up, leaned forward slightly, and stretched out his hand across the table.
Seeing this, Kato Suan quickly stretched out his hand to shake Lei Luo's hand, but he didn't feel at all that some unknown power flowed into his body through Lei Luo's palm and lurked quietly.
Since Yuko, the second coordinate was set up by Lei Luo, and Kato Dan's position will be invisible. Even if the opponent continues to use specific means to block his perception ability, he still cannot escape Lei Luo's search.
Before the power of time is a high-level force, before it is activated, there is no way to observe it with the existing ninja methods, and even the possibility of sensing it is almost impossible.
In addition to the role of coordinates, that ray of time power is also a "bomb".
It can trigger deceleration at critical moments and provide a solid layer of insurance for the implementation of Lei Luo's next plan.
Besides...looking at Kato Dan's hearty smile, which seemed to be happy for having met one more friend, Lei Luo didn't think Kato Dan would realize his plot against him.
The atmosphere in the field, just like the fake smile on Lei Luo's face, was perfect and harmonious.
Lei Luo estimated that if he suddenly took action at this time, the success rate should be at least 90%.
But this is a camp. Kato Dan and Orochimaru came to him in a big way. There must have been many witnesses in this process. Lei Luo didn't want to follow the truth, so he endured it for the time being.
"Goodbye, Lei Luo, Orochimaru."
"Um."
"Goodbye, break."
Kato Suan's back gradually disappeared from Lei Luo's field of vision, and after a few minutes, when the other person's figure completely disappeared, Lei Luo withdrew his smile and regained his composure on his face.
Orochimaru didn't leave. He stayed after sending Kato Dan away, then sat back down and poured himself a cup of tea.
At this time, Orochimaru was drinking tea and looking at Lei Luo's back with an interested expression, but he was not in a hurry to talk to the latter.
Lei Luo stood quietly at the door, looking out at the camp and the rolling mountains and forests in the distance, paying no attention to Orochimaru's intentions.
Lei Luo's eyes looked calm on the surface, as if he was just a bored traveler admiring the beautiful scenery of nature.
But if anyone else looked carefully, they would find the complex emotions hidden in his eyes.
There, there is melancholy, greed, determination, and also a trace of deeply hidden hesitation.
