Lei Luo turned on his double speed, and his figure instantly turned into a series of continuous white afterimages, whizzing across the tops of the buildings in Konoha, like a pale lightning streaking across the sky, causing gusts of wind between the rise and fall.
.
The reason why it is a white afterimage, different from the black one in the past, is because time seems to be very urgent, and Lei Luo does not have time to go back to the base to change clothes, so what he is wearing now is the white sportswear he found casually before.
There were also some ninjas running around on the roof. When Lei Luo passed by them, many people did not react in time and were roughly pushed away by the surging air waves.
It was not uncommon for the body to lose balance and accidentally fall to the ground. However, before they could start complaining, Lei Luo's figure had disappeared in an instant.
In this way, after running at lightning speed, what was left behind Lei Luo were many Konoha ninjas who looked at each other and were quite confused about the situation.
In less than a minute, Lei Luo arrived at Konoha's fourth training ground, where he caught a glimpse of a dozen root ninjas wearing black robes and standing in a circle.
The leader was none other than Danzo, who was leaning on a cane and looking at the ground with a gloomy look on his face.
Hearing the faint roar in their ears, all the Gennin, including Danzo, turned their attention to Lei Luo, who slowly stopped.
Taking two steps forward, Lei Luo squeezed through the surrounding Gennins, crossed a distance of more than ten meters in an instant, came to Danzo, and asked directly: "What's wrong with Kyuubi?"
Only then did the gray light in Lei Luo's eyes slowly dissipate, and his figure seemed to gradually solidify from blur.
The surrounding Gen Ninjas, as if they were waking up from a dream, shifted their attention again and refocused on where Lei Luo was currently staying.
Perhaps it was because Lei Luo's appearance was so shocking that even Danzo couldn't help but look at the former with solemn eyes, and after a while he said:
"It's not the Nine-Tails, it's the candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki."
"Candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?" He repeated the term doubtfully. Lei Luo tilted his head unconsciously and complained without giving Danzo any face:
"Because of this little thing, you asked me to make a special trip?"
"Do you know..."
Danzo coughed lightly, raised his hand to interrupt Lei Luo's words, and said with a serious expression: "Nothing related to Kyuubi is a small matter."
As he spoke, Danzo paused his crutch, pointed it to the grass beneath him, and explained at the same time: "This time the candidate for the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is a rare and precious member of the Uzumaki clan who can perfectly adapt to the power of the tailed beasts.
.”
"Her chakra volume and chakra control are extremely powerful. She is the most promising candidate to inherit Mito-sama's identity as a jinchuriki in recent years."
Following the direction of Danzo's crutch, Lei Luo subconsciously cast his gaze over. Suddenly, a series of messy footprints came into his eyes:
Those were probably the traces left by five or six adult men and a child. Judging from the location distribution, the child should have been surrounded by this group of men.
"So?" Lei Luo leaned down and asked without looking back while observing these footprints of unknown meaning.
"She is very important." Slightly emphasizing the word "important", Danzo also looked at the footprints on the ground and continued to explain with a gloomy expression:
"But this important Jinchuuriki candidate was found missing from his residence this afternoon..."
"That is to say, she is missing." Danzo first explained the current situation, and then waved his hand, motioning for a Gen-nin next to him to come forward.
This Gen nin looked young. He first bowed to Lei Luo, and then followed up with Danzo's words: "According to the judgment of our Inuzuka clan, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki candidate should have been taken away by someone.
.”
Glancing at the root ninja of the Inuzuka clan, Lei Luo stood up straight again, patted the dust on his body, and asked lightly: "Who did it?"
"Based on the smell, the men who kidnapped Jinchuriki candidates generally had a special earthy smell and should have come from areas with a lot of mountains."
"At the same time, they also carry a strange burnt smell caused by high-voltage current. I think..."
Before he finished speaking, the root ninja of the Inuzuka clan was keenly aware that there was a hint of impatience in Lei Luo's eyes. His body trembled, and he did not dare to talk nonsense anymore, and quickly came to a conclusion:
"It's the Kumo ninja! The one who took away the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki candidate is definitely a ninja from Kumo Hidden Village!"
"I've smelled it before!"
"Yun Ren? These guys actually made such a big deal quietly, they are very brave..." Lei Luo smiled, first sighed, then turned his head and asked Danzo:
"You came to me to retrieve the jinchūriki candidate?"
Although Lei Luo asked a question, he actually already had the answer in his heart, and Danzo nodded as expected:
"That's right, you take Uuchou with you, and you must bring back the Jinchuriki candidate safely."
Lei Luo saw the ninja from the Inuzuka clan nodded slightly to him and took a step forward, as if he understood who Uuchou was.
Subconsciously, Lei Luo raised his head and glanced at the sky, only to see the sun setting in the west, dusk had arrived, and night was about to fall, so he raised his hand and looked at his watch again.
It was already half past six in the evening. If there were no problems if we set out now, Lei Luo felt that he would be back before seven o'clock, and maybe he could even go home for dinner.
Danzo had been observing Lei Luo's movements, and when he saw him raising his head and lowering his head, he couldn't help but urge: "Hurry up, Jueying, to avoid any accidents."
"We'll talk about the reward when you come back."
Lei Luo responded, walked to Wu Chou, put his palm on his shoulder, and at the same time started to form popular magic seals with his other hand.
In just a moment, waves of light blue chakra surged out of Lei Luo's body and quickly covered the bodies of Lei Luo and Wu Chou.
Then, Lei Luo used his arms to clamp Wu Chou's shoulders under his armpits. At the same time, he leaned down slightly, his thigh muscles bulged fiercely, and he firmly grasped the ground with his soles, making a gesture of accumulating strength.
.
A gray light appeared in his eyes, the flow of time was suddenly accelerated, and the invisible aura seemed to shrink to a single point in an instant, just waiting for the moment to burst out and shred all the air condensed in front of him.
Sensing the changes in the aura around Lei Luo and the heavy pressure it put on his heart like a wild beast, even though he knew Lei Luo had no evil intentions, Danzo still couldn't help but take a few steps back.
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Danzo hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Jueying! Don't forget to come back alive!"
