After saying that, Namikaze Minato flashed and jumped from the tree to the ground.
He lowered his head and glanced around, then his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something, he bent down and picked up something from the ground.
Turning around, he waved to Lei Luo and Wu Chou on the tree. Namikaze Minato shouted loudly: "Follow me!" and ran straight in one direction.
"You're very flexible..."
Having a clear view of Namikaze Minato's series of movements, Lei Luo sighed unconsciously and also jumped down from the tree trunk, took a few steps and caught up with Namikaze Minato.
As for Ouchou behind him, Lei Luo is too lazy to deal with this loser now. If this guy can keep up with him and Namikaze Minato, just follow him. If he can't keep up, just go back to the village by himself.
Namikaze Minato was scanning every corner of the ground while running intently, but unexpectedly, the wind whizzed past him, and Lei Luo's figure suddenly appeared, startling him.
Unconsciously stopping, Namikaze Minato looked at Lei Luo carefully this time, with a flash of suspicion in his eyes, and asked in an uncertain tone:
"Well... what you just used, was it the teleportation technique?"
As he said that, he noticed that Lei Luo's expression was a little strange. Namikaze Minato seemed to suddenly realize his rudeness, and quickly straightened his expression and quickly added: "
"I don't want to pry into your secrets, I'm just... a little curious."
After saying that, without waiting for Lei Luo to answer, Namikaze Minato seemed to have thought of something again, scratching his hair rather irritably, then showed a wry smile, and first sighed self-deprecatingly:
"Oh...I'm really rude today..."
Then, Namikaze Minato adjusted his mentality and said politely to Lei Luo: "I'm sorry, I just made you laugh."
"I haven't asked yet, what is your name?"
Seeing Minato Namikaze's expression changing several times, the switching speed was almost as fast as Yuko's. If he didn't know the details of the other party, Lei Luo almost thought that Minato Namikaze was also a patient with schizophrenia.
After coughing slightly, Lei Luo put away the expression on his face as if he was sizing up a rare animal, and replied: "You can call me Lei Luo."
First he said his name, and then Lei Luo ignored Namikaze Minato's thoughtful expression and continued on his own: "As for the one just now, it is not the teleportation technique."
Seeing that Lei Luo only said this, and there was no follow-up, Namikaze Minato instantly understood what the other party meant, that is, he was unwilling to reveal his information.
Thinking of this, Namikaze Minato smiled slightly. Although he was still a little curious, he didn't say anything more and just nodded knowingly to Lei Luo.
He and Lei Luo just met by chance. Although they are both ninjas in the village, they both have the same goal.
But Namikaze Minato is mentally mature after all, and is more familiar with how to deal with people, so seeing this situation, he lost the idea of continuing to ask questions.
However, there was still a lingering doubt in his mind: Lei Luo... Minato Namikaze always felt like he had heard this name somewhere.
"Okay, Senior Lei Luo..."
Such a term that brought people closer naturally came out of his mouth. Namikaze Minato turned his gaze slightly, looked towards the direction he had just analyzed, and asked with a sense of inquiry:
"Shall we continue to catch up?"
"Can."
After a brief exchange, Namikaze Minato stopped talking and stepped forward continuously, passing the rows of tall trees around him as he leaped forward, and quickly ran towards the front.
Lei Luo, on the other hand, moved his steps leisurely, maintaining a speed that neither led the opponent nor was left too far behind, following behind Namikaze Minato.
Needless to say, Lei Luo's speed was not slow at all, but Namikaze Minato, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, was not slow at all.
Through observation, Lei Luo judged that Namikaze Minato's current speed was not weaker than most of the jounin in the root, which made him sigh inwardly:
He is worthy of being a ninja who can become the Fourth Hokage in future generations...
Namikaze Minato himself is just a civilian ninja, and the opponent has no external bloodline. He has not yet become a disciple of Jiraiya, and he does not have many training resources.
However, the other party has such a level of strength at such a young age, which shows how terrifying his talent is.
Therefore, at this moment, Lei Luo naturally had the idea of taking Namikaze Minato under his command and training him well.
Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, you may need to use some means.
Namikaze Minato was completely unaware of the calculations and emotions in Lei Luo's mind, but this did not mean that the thoughts in the latter's mind had calmed down.
Although Namikaze Minato was hurried on without saying a word, he was also secretly observing Lei Luo, observing this strange man who had been sending out warning signals from his intuition since the moment he appeared.
He is a few years older than me, and he is wearing sportswear similar to his own. He is obviously a ninja in the village, but he does not wear a forehead protector.
The jet black hair, the plain expression, the sharp eyes, and the speed that is not inferior to him at all, and may even be stronger than him...
Of course, there is another point, that is, the other party seems to be able to order the masked ninja who was suspected of being an Anbu, and this undoubtedly shows that Lei Luo's identity is not simple.
'Lei Luo... who is he?'
'I didn't bring anything to prove my identity. Is he a jounin? a chunin? a genin? or an anbu?'
'If his purpose is also Kushina, does this mean that...Kushina's identity is also not simple?'
A series of questions flashed through Namikaze Minato's mind, but because he was so anxious at the moment and Lei Luo didn't seem to like talking, he didn't say much.
In this way, more than half an hour passed, with both parties running along in silence with their own thoughts, until Namikaze Minato found another clue and took the initiative to stop again.
Putting the hair on the ground into his palm, Namikaze Minato raised his head and glanced at the sky.
Seeing that the moon was in the middle of the sky and it was probably late at night, a look of solemnity flashed across his face, and he immediately turned back to Lei Luo and said:
"Senior Lei Luo, we should have arrived at the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Tang. It looks like..."
"The enemies who kidnapped Kushina seem to want to take her out of the Land of Fire."
As he spoke, Namikaze Minato tightened his grip on his hair, a trace of worry flashed across his face, and murmured to himself:
"I don't know what their purpose is in taking Kushina away?"
Hearing this, Lei Luo suddenly remembered that Namikaze Minato didn't seem to know who the enemy was.
After a short period of thinking, Lei Luo decided to reveal some information to Namikaze Minato, so he said: "It was the Kumo ninja who took action. Since these guys have captured the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki candidate, they naturally want to transport him back to the country as soon as possible."
