It must be said that Lei Luo's attitude towards Namikaze Minato was very friendly and he did not show any impatience. With his status, it is rare for him to be able to do this to a mere genin of Namikaze Minato.
And Lei Luo's "sincerity" was also felt by the sensitive Minato Namikaze, so the latter pondered for a long time before continuing:
"Senior Lei Luo, I am very grateful that you can think highly of me, but I have one last question, and I hope you can answer it truthfully."
After saying that, Namikaze Minato closed his eyes and thought for a while. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and looked directly at Lei Luo with a pair of firm eyes:
"Senior Lei Luo, to tell you the truth, my dream is to become Hokage."
"What I want to know is, by becoming your subordinate, is it possible for me to achieve this goal?"
Becoming Hokage... Lei Luo obviously expected this question from Namikaze Minato, so he answered directly without a moment's hesitation: "Yes."
But this one-word answer clearly failed to satisfy Minato Namikaze, so he did not answer, but looked at Lei Luo with a questioning look, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Now that the topic has been completely discussed, Lei Luo no longer concealed anything when facing the shrewd and wise young man in front of him, and said bluntly: "I forgot to tell you, my goal is actually Hokage."
Noticing the hesitation in Namikaze Minato's eyes, Lei Luo straightened his face decisively and said word by word: "I know you are confused now, but what I want to say is that our goals are not in conflict."
With that said, Lei Luo pointed at Namikaze Minato and asked: "Minato, how old are you this year?"
Looking at Lei Luo thoughtfully, Namikaze Minato replied without hesitation: "Twelve years old."
Just after he finished speaking, Namikaze Minato reacted and immediately followed up with: "You mean, after you become Hokage, you will train me to become the next generation of Hokage?"
"You have good understanding." Lei Luo first replied slowly, then smiled slightly, shrugged and said:
"You are still too young now. Without decades of experience, whether it is strength, intelligence, leadership, or decision-making, these abilities cannot meet the requirements of being a Hokage."
"But, if you follow me..." Lei Luo slowly raised a finger, looked at Namikaze Minato, and slowly said his chips:
"Whether it is training resources, strength improvement, network resources, social expansion, or political support after I become Hokage, you will gain an advantage far beyond your peers."
"With these resources, saying less can save you more than ten years of struggle."
"The value of this..." Lei Luo folded his arms calmly, looked at Namikaze Minato indifferently, and said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "I miss you."
"You won't be able to see clearly!"
Maybe it's because Lei Luo's conditions are too generous, maybe it's because the sincerity in Lei Luo's words doesn't seem to be fake, maybe it's because Lei Luo's strong strength makes his words carry enough weight.
In short, no matter how precocious Minato is, no matter how precocious and thinking is far ahead of his peers.
At this moment, facing Lei Luosi's thorough analysis and the huge benefits that were clearly presented, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Lei Luo firmly believed that everyone is profit-seeking, and since Minato Namikaze can reach the position of Hokage in the next life, it means that he is by no means a simple person, nor is he a saint with no desires or desires.
After all, Naruto himself is a political figure, and is it possible for a political figure to be innocent? Is it possible not to seek profit? Is it possible to seek nothing?
Looking at the faint fire in Namikaze Minato's eyes, Lei Luo couldn't help but smile. The answer seemed to be ready. This was obviously impossible!
But at this critical moment when he was about to make a decision, Namikaze Minato was not dazzled by the pictures proposed by Lei Luo. In the end, he still showed his thinking far beyond that of his peers.
I saw him forcefully keeping his breath, suppressing his excitement, staring at Lei Luo without blinking, and asking a sharp question again.
"Senior Lei Luo, I have to say that I am a little moved, but..." Namikaze Minato paused and took two deep breaths unconsciously, as if to calm down.
After more than ten seconds, Namikaze Minato seemed to have regained his composure, and continued: "What guarantee can you give that you can successfully become Hokage?"
The meaning of Namikaze Minato's words was very simple, and Lei Luo understood the other party's hidden meaning almost instantly:
Obviously, what Namikaze Minato cares more about than various training resources is undoubtedly political resources, that is, a reliable backer.
After all, Lei Luo thought to himself that if he wanted to provide political support to the other party, he was 100% determined that the other party could become the next generation of Hokage after him. The first condition was that he could become the Hokage of this generation.
Otherwise, without the right to speak, how can Lei Luo guarantee that Namikaze Minato will definitely rise to power in the future?
From the first generation Hokage to the third generation Hokage, although everyone said on the surface that if you want to become a Hokage, you need to obtain "the approval of the village."
But in fact, this position has always been designated by the previous generation of Hokage, and Namikaze Minato is obviously aware of this situation.
From the question he just got straight into the topic, Lei Luo felt that this young man who was just twelve years old had undoubtedly seen through the appearance and the essence of things.
Looking at Namikaze Minato with admiration, Lei Luo not only did not get angry because of this question, but answered patiently:
"Just because I can defeat the Third Raikage head-on, just because I have many resources, just because I have the will to pursue firmly, and..."
Looking at Namikaze Minato thoughtfully, Lei Luo slowly added the last sentence: "Just because I am the same as you, a civilian ninja."
Lei Luo's last answer may have too profound and complicated meaning, and Namikaze Minato couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The stance of the civilian ninja, a few simple words, not only showed the source of Lei Luo's confidence, but also showed the faint spirit of resistance in the other party's heart.
The position of Hokage is the same? From Lei Luo's words, Namikaze Minato was keenly aware that the other party was deeply disapproving of the current situation.
In other words, Lei Luo may...
This is a bet, Namikaze Minato thought unconsciously.
If he follows Lei Luo, he will lose the support of a series of traditional and conservative forces, including the current Hokage, but what about the other way around?
In Konoha Village, civilian ninjas make up the majority, especially since the Second Hokage founded the Ninja School, the number of civilian ninjas has been increasing year by year.
The situation where family ninjas controlled the entire village has gone away forever since the disbandment of the Senju clan. It is not impossible for Lei Luo, a civilian ninja, to become Hokage.
The most important thing is what Lei Luo just said. He, Namikaze Minato, is also a civilian ninja. He has no support from his family and is not a member of the Hokage family. What will he do to compete for the position of Hokage in the future?
