It's not that Lei Luo didn't have a chance, Namikaze Minato didn't want to betray his "class" now, so after thinking for more than ten minutes, he finally gave his answer:
"Senior Lei Luo, please take care of me."
When he said this, Namikaze Minato's eyes were full of determination, probably because, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally made a decision.
Among them, he thought about how excited he was when he first heard about Juekage's deeds, and also thought about the countless days and nights he had spent on crazy training in order to catch up with the footsteps of his ninja classmates.
Finally, he thought of Lei Luo's fearless back when he faced the Third Raikage directly a few hours ago.
And the voices that echoed in his mind, constantly urging him to leave.
At this critical moment that may determine his fate for the rest of his life, Namikaze Minato chose to believe in Lei Luo, and he also became aware of his trust.
That being the case, the rest seems to have become very simple:
Try your best to help Lei Luo become the fourth generation Hokage. At the same time, in the process, try your best to improve your abilities and prepare for the future path of the fifth generation Hokage.
Noticing the determination in Namikaze Minato's eyes, Lei Luo also felt a little emotional.
Through the conversation just now, not only Namikaze Minato was inspecting Lei Luo, Lei Luo was also inspecting Namikaze Minato, and Lei Luo had to admit that he was very satisfied with the results of the inspection.
If we say that his previous positioning of Namikaze Minato was as a "tool man" used to cooperate with Tokatsuki in the battle.
So now, after experiencing Minato Namikaze's long-term vision and profound thoughts, no matter how conceited Lei Luo was, he couldn't help but fall in love with Minato Namikaze's talent.
At this moment, Lei Luo has decided to do his best to improve Namikaze Minato's strength so that the opponent can transform his potential into combat effectiveness more quickly, hoping to help him in the near future.
Thinking of this, a sincere smile appeared on Lei Luo's lips. He stretched out his hand and said to Namikaze Minato: "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation in the future, Minato."
"Yeah!" He shook hands with Lei Luo vigorously. Namikaze Minato didn't think about it and just nodded with a serious face.
The power of time completed the invisible transmission at this moment, and the third coordinate was quietly set up.
Lei Luo's companions are gradually increasing in number.
Because of this, Lei Luo firmly believed that he would be able to achieve his goal one day, and when that time came, he would not cling to a mere Hokage position.
As for Namikaze Minato, after careful consideration, he simply boarded Lei Luo's "thief ship".
After all, all said and done, no matter how awesome Namikaze Minato is in later generations, he is just a genin of Konoha who has just emerged.
Namikaze Minato, who has not studied under Jiraiya, has not been influenced by too many other ideas, nor has his stance tilted too obviously, so he is extremely malleable.
So, when facing Lei Luo, who can put down his posture and take the initiative to show his kindness, and treat him sincerely, how should he choose to be more advantageous?
The answer is almost obvious.
Namikaze Minato can't predict the future, so how can he know his future life experiences in the original time and space?
Water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. The reason is that simple.
Now that the matter has been settled in general, the next thing that needs to be done is to discuss some details.
"Your genin level remains unchanged. After joining the root, you will be regarded as my guard. At that time, you only need to obey my orders and do not have to accept the orders of others."
Just like Bingmao and Ding Yin before, and No Naiyu now, it is normal for Lei Luo to have several subordinates around him due to emotions and reasons.
The reason why Namikaze Minato was placed in this position was because the other party had just been transferred and it would be a joke. It was undoubtedly the easiest way to bring him with him and train him nearby.
Secondly, considering the conflicts that Namikaze Minato had with Danzo in the past, Lei Luo did not think that Danzo would remember this little thing, but just in case, he still planned to minimize the encounter between Namikaze Minato and Danzo.
Chance.
Doing this is a great good thing for Namikaze Minato, Danzo, and Lei Luo himself.
The reasons for this will not be listed in detail here.
This topic was quickly determined, and Lei Luo then talked about the second point, which was nominally:
"In name, I happen to have a large-scale task recently and need a lot of help."
"And you..."
Glancing at Namikaze Minato, Lei Luo exhaled slowly and said with some meaning: "As the special talents I have discovered recently, I will nominally join the team I am about to form."
"If you put it this way, it makes sense."
"Large mission?" Noticing this unusual keyword, Namikaze Minato's heart moved and he asked curiously:
"Senior Lei Luo, what kind of large-scale task requires you to specially form a corresponding team?"
In Namikaze Minato's view, Rairo, who was able to overpower the demigods of Amegakure Village and defeat the Third Raikage head-on, was so terrifying that almost no one in the ninja world could match him.
Even the Third Hokage in his own village, Namikaze Minato doesn't think that his strength can compete with Lei Luo.
So, what kind of task can a strong man like Lei Luo not be able to complete alone?
It has to be said that Namikaze Minato overestimated Railo's strength to some extent. After all, he neither understood the characteristics of Railo's abilities nor the real reason why the Third Raikage escaped.
In Namikaze Minato's mind, it is not an exaggeration to say that Lei Luo's strength at this time is the best in the ninja world, but this is obviously a cognitive error.
Noticing the confusion in Namikaze Minato's eyes, Lei Luo did not answer the question for a while. After thinking about it, he answered: "It is a very difficult task."
After pausing for a moment, Lei Luo did not continue speaking, but looked at Namikaze Minato thoughtfully, finding the latter quite baffled.
"Minato, to be honest, I really want you to participate in this mission, but..."
An expression of regret appeared on his face at the right time. Lei Luo spread his hands and said in a helpless tone:
"To put it bluntly, your current strength is too weak."
"Even if I tell you the content of this mission, you won't be able to help me much."
Hearing this, Namikaze Minato's expression did not change. He just smiled at Lei Luo, but his tone was slightly dissatisfied:
"Senior Lei Luo, since I have become your subordinate now, it should be a matter of course for me to share your worries."
"Perhaps, as you said, my current strength is not up to par, but..."
Having said this, Namikaze Minato's eyes narrowed, his expression instantly turned firm, and he continued in an extremely serious tone:
"I still hope that I can do something within my ability to prove my worth."
Namikaze Minato is a sensible person, since Lei Luo spent so much energy to win over him and did not hesitate to offer all kinds of favorable conditions.
That shows that Lei Luo has shown full sincerity and values him very much.
Therefore, Namikaze Minato believes that he must also repay something in order to cherish this rare opportunity.
What he just said showed his attitude.
Lei Luo, who had been quietly observing Namikaze Minato, couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw this:
From these two sentences, it can be seen that Namikaze Minato's position has changed, so that he can entrust the other party with something of real value.
