Under the faint moonlight, the atmosphere in the dense forest suddenly froze for a few seconds.
When Lei Luo saw that the person behind the tree was still refusing to show up, his eyes couldn't help but stern. He raised one hand and the seal was about to be formed.
He's just a guy with a chakra level that reaches Chuunin level. If he dares to show off in front of him, Lei Luo, he is simply looking for death.
Since that person doesn't plan to come out, Lei Luo thinks that the other person should never come out.
The tree was only one meter wide, and if his thunderbolt was thrown out, it would be enough to blow both the person and the tree to pieces.
Perhaps they also sensed the strong murderous aura emanating from Lei Luo's body. The person behind the tree did not dare to hesitate any longer, and moved his figure to reveal himself in front of Lei Luo and Wu Chou.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Lei Luo paused slightly as he was about to form the seal, and his expression unconsciously showed a hint of surprise.
This man was about twelve or thirteen years old, still just a boy. He was about one meter sixty-seven meters tall, wearing a white casual suit and a Konoha forehead protector on his head.
He has short golden hair, a softer face, and is quite handsome. However, the light blue eyes looking at Lei Luo contain a strong look of vigilance, which slightly ruins the whole thing.
of harmony.
He held a kunai across his chest, posing as if he was ready to fight at any time. While looking at Lei Luo and Wu Chou calmly, he took the initiative to ask:
"Who are you?"
Namikaze Minato... this name that was resounding to future generations flashed across Lei Luo's mind, and in an instant, he completely came back to his senses, and quickly remembered the plot of the anime in his previous life.
Kyuubi Jinchuuriki candidate, Kumo Ninja, Namikaze Minato... Kyuubi Jinchuuriki candidate, wasn't it Uzumaki Kushina who was kidnapped by Kumo Ninja during this period?
Glancing at Namifeng Shuimen thoughtfully, Lei Luo put down his right hand that was about to form the seal without getting up, and just sat cross-legged on the ground and said:
"We are all Konoha ninjas just like you..."
With that said, Lei Luo waved his hand to his side, signaling Ouchou to relax, and then said to Namikaze Minato: "I seem to have seen you somewhere. If I remember correctly, your name should be Namikaze Minato, right?"
When saying this, Lei Luo showed a trace of hesitation on his face at the right time, as if he was quite uncertain about his own judgment.
Hearing Lei Luo call out his name directly, Namikaze Minato couldn't hide the surprise on his face, but the other two didn't have any markings such as forehead protectors. He still didn't completely relax his vigilance, but continued to ask:
"My name is indeed Namikaze Minato, but I have never seen you before. How can you prove your identity?"
Seeing that Namikaze Minato's vigilant expression was not dissuaded by revealing his identity, Lei Luo praised the other party's calmness in his heart, but on the surface he asked indifferently:
"How do you want us to prove it?"
Sensing that the atmosphere had become tense, Namikaze Minato took a step back, quickly observed the surrounding terrain, and then replied:
"Forehead protector, as ninjas in the village, you should wear the village's forehead protector."
Hearing this, Lei Luo was stunned and suddenly felt quite speechless:
Although he usually doesn't bother to wear a forehead protector, he always carries it with him to prevent any unexpected situations.
After all, a ninja's forehead protector, just like some of the documents he obtained in his previous life, is a necessary item to prove his identity.
Unexpectedly, because he had just changed into new clothes today, he accidentally left his forehead protector behind. As a result, he needed forehead protectors twice.
Glancing at Wu Chou beside him, Lei Luo gave him a questioning look, and the meaning was instantly understood by the former.
Ouchou glanced at Lei Luo strangely, took out his forehead protector from his ninja tool bag, shook it in the direction of Namikaze Minato, and thought in confusion:
The boy opposite is obviously just a genin, but why do you feel that Lord Jueking is unexpectedly...very patient with that guy?
Now that Uuchou had shown his forehead protector, Namikaze Minato's eyes widened, and with the brightness of the moonlight, he carefully observed the leaf pattern on it.
Realizing that Lei Luo and O Chou were really companions, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer hesitated and jumped to Lei Luo and O Chou's side in several consecutive steps.
"I'm sorry, I was just rude." First, he bowed his head and apologized to Lei Luo and Ouchou. Namikaze Minato put away his kunai, and his face turned solemn and said:
"Both of you, although I don't know what your mission is, I am currently encountering a very urgent matter. If possible..."
"I hope you can listen to me explain the situation first, and then ask you two to decide whether to lend a helping hand to me and my companions."
After a pause, Namikaze Minato saw that Lei Luo and Ouchou were looking at him intently, obviously listening, and had no intention of interrupting him.
At that moment, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but feel somewhat fond of these two strange companions he met by chance.
'Perhaps they can really help.'
With this in mind, Namikaze Minato continued: "My companion must have been kidnapped and taken all the way from the village to this area."
"I followed the clues she left..."
As he said that, Namikaze Minato took out a few strands of bright red hair from his coat pocket, handed it to Lei Luo and Wu Chou, and explained:
"These hairs should be the road signs she left behind on purpose. I relied on them to track her all the way here."
After saying that, Namikaze Minato stopped talking and looked at Lei Luo and Uuchou with a slightly expectant look.
First, he looked at Namikaze Minato for a while, then Lei Luo glanced at Uuchou, who immediately understood and quickly took the hair from Namikaze Minato's hand and smelled it through the mask.
Seeing Ouchou nodding slightly, Lei Luo no longer hesitated and said directly to Namikaze Minato: "It seems that our purpose is the same."
"Your companion is also our target. Bringing her back to the village is our mission this time."
After saying that, Lei Luo ignored the surprised look on Namikaze Minato's face, stood up directly, and asked Ouchou: "How long do you need to rest?"
Wu Chou looked down at his dog and saw that it was still listless. He replied helplessly: "It will take at least two hours. My ninja dog has never experienced that level of speed before, so...
"
Raising his hand to stop Ouchou's words, Lei Luo glared at the lazy dog expressionlessly, then turned his head and said to Namikaze Minato:
"Help is not a problem, but you should have seen the dilemma we are currently facing, so... I will probably have to trouble you to lead the way."
Namikaze Minato nodded and responded decisively: "No problem."
