Today, the sun is rising, Lei Luo is walking among the forests, the breeze blows gently on his face, bringing a bit of coolness, but the autumn wind is so refreshing, it is very pleasant.
Three months have passed and the New Year is approaching, but the coldness of winter is not felt at all in the Land of Fire. The season seems to have stayed in autumn forever. This has to be said to be a very strange phenomenon.
By the time December passes, Lei Luo's body will be considered to be eighteen years old. In his previous life, this age would have been considered an adult.
However, Lei Luo didn't feel any emotion at all. The acceleration again and again, and the countercurrent again and again, had already made the time adjustment of his body chaotic.
There's really no way to calculate how old he is now using traditional timing methods, so the so-called eighteen years old is only nominal after all.
Walking on the flat dirt road, Konoha's wide khaki-colored wall faintly caught his eye, causing him to temporarily stop.
"Konoha..."
With a slight sigh, he looked into the distance, at the peaceful scene under the blue sky and white clouds, and his thoughts seemed to fly with him, returning to the country he had just left not long ago.
At this moment, Lei Luo couldn't help but recall the conversation the young man named Seiichiro had with him before leaving the Country of Tea.
Although Lei Luo finally rejected the other party, he did not leave Seiichiro the slightest chance.
The corresponding instructions have been clearly explained, and the initial activation resources have been given. As for whether the other party can grasp it well, he will witness it with his own eyes next time he goes to the Country of Tea.
For Lei Luo, Seiichiro, the Lang Ninja Group, and the entire Country of Tea are just free chess he dropped at will.
As for whether this free chess piece will work and how valuable it will ultimately be, time will tell.
After the thought fell, Lei Luo stopped unconsciously and stood in front of a rock wall about two meters high, watching with interest.
This rock wall is covered with moss and looks like it has been around for some time. It is embedded at the bottom of a hill and almost blends in with the surrounding weeds.
This is an entrance to the Root base. Lei Luo once entered here with Danzo, and then followed the long underground passage to the Root headquarters, so he was deeply impressed by this place.
At this moment, Lei Luo stood quietly at the door of the root, looking quite leisurely and contented, as if he was waiting for something.
After a while, the rock wall slowly moved sideways, revealing the dark cave entrance, and a gloomy old man in black robe stepped out of it. It was Danzo whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Do you still know how to come back?" he asked with a slightly mocking retort. Danzo's expression was extremely ugly, and his right hand holding the cane was trembling slightly, obviously he was very angry.
With his hands behind his back, the same dark robe was gently blown by the breeze, causing a wave. Lei Luo looked at Danzo for a while, and then said lightly:
"What? Miss me?"
Danzo's expression froze, as if he didn't expect Lei Luo to disappear for several months without saying goodbye, but the first sentence he said when he came back was a joke.
He squeezed the crutch in his hand tightly, and blue veins could be seen faintly popping out on the back of his hand. Danzo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Lei Luo observed Danzo's expression. From the slightly ferocious face, he judged that what the other party wanted to say was not good, so he decisively stretched out his palm and made a stopping gesture.
"If you want to continue wasting our time, then go ahead and spew that meaningless nonsense."
"But I have to say something in advance..." After a pause, seeing that Danzo had stopped speaking and narrowed his eyes to stare at himself, Lei Luo continued calmly:
"I brought you some gifts during my vacation this time."
"Gift?" Perhaps thinking of Lei Luo's so-called "gift" last time, Danzo suppressed his restless mood for the time being, with a gloomy old face, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
Smiling at Danzo, Lei Luo took out two seal scrolls, squatted down, spread them side by side on the ground, raised one hand at the same time, and pointed to form a seal: "Remove."
As the two white smoke dispersed, Danzo focused his eyes on the objects revealed on the seal scroll. When he saw the appearance of those two objects clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There were two corpses, one was somewhat complete, but the other only had a bloody head left.
Quickly running through all the information in his mind, Danzo observed it for a while. For a moment, he felt that the appearance of the two corpses gave him a vague sense of familiarity. He should have seen their portraits before.
Judging from the clothing style of the complete corpse, Danzo judged that the two corpses were ninjas from Kirigakure Village during their lifetimes, and judging from the mask worn by the head...
"Seven Ninja Swordsmen..." After slowly speaking this sentence, Danzo raised his head and turned his gaze back to Lei Luo, who was standing up from the ground with a dull expression.
At this moment, even though Danzo had always been a calm character, he couldn't help but feel a bit shocked. He first frowned and thought for a while, then narrowed his eyes to a thin slit and looked at Lei Luo silently.
Lei Luo's eyes were calm, his hands were behind his back again, he was also silent, and his expression was even more calm. It felt like the two corpses at his feet were just ordinary people, not worth caring about at all.
At this moment, the cold autumn wind gently blew the clothes of the two people in the scene, and the two similar black robes were faintly lifted up, fluttering slightly along with the flying fallen leaves.
Muuri Jinpachi's ferocious face before his death seemed to be permanently fixed on his face, until the leaves fell one by one, gradually covering the resentment in his eyes.
The blood on Jia Xie Chuan Wan's neck had dried up, leaving only pieces of scorched black marks on the fracture, as if silently telling how violent an attack he suffered during his lifetime.
After a moment of silence, Danzo was the first to break the silence: "Muri Jinpachi and Kasei Kushimaru, members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, users of the Explosive Sword Spray and the Long Sword Stitch..."
Danzo's words were a little hoarse, and there was also a hint of disbelief, but Lei Luo was keenly aware that Danzo's expression felt a little ready to move.
"You killed them, that's good."
To Lei Luo's surprise, Danzo actually spoke directly, decisively setting the tone first, and then changed his tone and said slowly:
"But you left the village for three months without any reason, and there was no news during that period. With this level of indiscipline, I think you should be able to realize the mistake yourself."
"If you were not a ninja from my roots, according to normal procedures, the village would have classified you as a traitorous ninja."
