For Lei Luo, no matter how talented Namikaze Minato is and no matter how high his achievements will be in the future, the latter has not grown up yet and cannot attract much attention from him.
If Namikaze Minato hadn't been able to make some effective moves in his time zone and have the opportunity to complete a certain level of invincible cooperation with him, Lei Luo would not have made the recruitment move so early.
.
But these words obviously cannot be said in front of Namikaze Minato, so Lei Luo just put on a meaningful smile and said ambiguously:
"For those who are talented enough, I really don't mind paying a little attention or two."
"This is simply because you, Namikaze Minato, do have that value."
Not knowing what he understood from Lei Luo's expression and words, Namikaze Minato nodded thoughtfully, and then, he asked the second question:
"Senior Lei Luo, I want to know what is the relationship between you and Danzo-sama?"
Hearing this, Lei Luo looked at Namikaze Minato in surprise, and asked without answering: "Do you still know about Danzo? Could it be that you have been in contact with him before?"
After hesitating for a moment, Namikaze Minato reluctantly replied: "When I was in the ninja school, I had a chance encounter with Danzo-sama."
"then……"
As Minato Namikaze slowly told, Lei Luo also gradually understood the whole story: to put it simply, Danzo took a fancy to Minato Namikaze's talent, so he wanted to recruit him to "development" at the root.
But there are obviously some problems with Danzo's personality charm. Although Namikaze Minato doesn't know the details of Danzo or what department he is in, this does not prevent him from making judgments based on intuition.
That is, Danzo didn't seem to be a good person, and he didn't say anything good. If he just left with him, he would never get any good results in the future.
Since Danzo's foundation had just been established at that time, with Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressing him, his appearance was not too ugly.
In addition, Namikaze Minato is just a civilian ninja who has shown some talent, so it seems that there is no need to spend too much energy digging into the roots.
Therefore, when faced with the rejection of his "good intentions", Danzo did not react much. Namikaze Minato didn't want to come, so he just didn't come. He was not a blood-successor ninja, so he really thought that Danzo would
Does it take it seriously?
A poor boy with no money, no power, and no family background, thinks he can reach heaven with a little talent?
You are so awesome, why don't you show me how to be a Hokage?
This was Danzo's inner thought at the time. What was very stupid was that he showed it at the right time. As a result, Namikaze Minato felt as if he had been humiliated. After all, his dream was to be Hokage.
After this incident, Danzo was fine, but Namikaze Minato kept the two terms Danzo and Nebe firmly in his mind.
It wasn't until a while ago that he heard some rumors about the codename "Juekage" from his teammates and the team leader Jonin, and then he suddenly remembered Danzo and Nebe, two terms that had long been buried deep in his memory...
After all, Jueying seems to be a ninja at heart.
After Namikaze Minato finished telling how he met Danzo, Lei Luo suddenly understood what the other party really wanted to ask in his second question.
Judging from the serious expression on Namikaze Minato's face now, it is obvious that this issue is very important to him.
Lei Luo estimated that Danzo probably didn't leave a good impression on Namikaze Minato at first. This guy who failed to accomplish anything but failed more than failed, Lei Luo was too lazy to say anything about him now.
Back to the topic, Namikaze Minato attaches so much importance to his relationship with Danzo. In Lei Luo’s view, the other party’s worries are nothing more than two aspects:
First of all, it should be that Namikaze Minato neither trusts Danzo nor wants to get too close to the latter, and he has a certain pessimistic attitude towards the root's "development prospects".
Secondly...
"If you are worried that you will be bullied by Danzo if you work under me, then I think you can relax."
Lei Luo said lightly, and at the end he waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent and added:
"Danzo is an elder of Konoha after all. He has to deal with a lot of things every day. He won't have the energy to remember those old sesame seeds and rotten millet things."
After saying that, Lei Luo saw that Namikaze Minato's expression had not changed, and he was still looking at him with a serious look, as if he would not let this topic go unless he gave an answer.
So, Lei Luo coughed slightly and said to Namikaze Minato with a serious look on his face:
"My relationship with Danzo is simply a cooperative relationship. He provides resources for me to practice, and I provide my strength to help him perform tasks. That's it."
As he spoke, noticing the doubtful look on Namikaze Minato's face, Lei Luo scratched his hair a little irritably and said in a slightly unhappy tone:
"Of course, nominally, I am his subordinate, but this is really just in name... After all, if you want to survive in Konoha, there are some hidden rules that you must abide by."
"But in essence, the decision of what tasks I want to perform rests with me. Danzo cannot control me, and he has no ability to control me."
"If you come to me, I can guarantee that Danzo will not do anything to you."
Perhaps because he noticed that Lei Luo's expression at the moment was not pretending, or perhaps because he felt that Lei Luo's two words were reasonable, Namikaze Minato finally softened his expression, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Senior Lei Luo, I believe you." First, he expressed his attitude, and then, Namikaze Minato inadvertently narrowed his eyes and said casually:
"To be honest, I actually don't think that with your strength, you will be threatened by a so-called high-level person who is not even a Hokage."
Although Namikaze Minato didn't say it clearly, the contemptuous attitude he showed when he said this... Lei Luo felt that if Danzo were here now, he would probably be furious.
"Hey, Minato..." After hesitating for a moment, Lei Luo decided to remind the other party: "You should only say this in front of me. At other times, I suggest you be cautious in your words and actions.
.”
"That guy Danzo doesn't have a big heart."
Perhaps it was because Lei Luo's expression was a little serious at this time, Namikaze Minato didn't say anything more, he just nodded knowingly and said clearly: "I understand, Lei Luo-senpai."
Although he is still very young, judging from Namikaze Minato's words and deeds, this is undoubtedly an extremely precocious boy. If coupled with his later achievements...
The conclusion is that Lei Luo believes that he does not need to worry too much about this kind of thing for the other party. Judging from Namikaze Minato's behavior, the other party should be able to understand it if he just clicks a little bit.
Therefore, this topic was quickly ignored. Lei Luo looked at Namikaze Minato and asked: "Okay, I have also answered the second question. Do you have any other questions?"
