The time it took for Lei Luo and his party to return to the village was much longer than the time it took for him and Namikaze Minato to come here.
About when the sun set into the afternoon, they successfully arrived outside Konoha Village.
The reason why it was so slow was mainly because there was a slow Kushina in the team. In order to wait for her, Railo and Namikaze Minato were so slow.
It is worth mentioning that on the way back, Lei Luo did not see the root ninja of the Inuzuka clan who came out with him, namely Ouchou.
This made him feel a little strange. For a moment, he just thought that the other party had gone back, so he stopped paying attention.
In the following time, Lei Luo first told Namikaze Minato, asking him to calm down and practice hard, and master the Flying Thunder God Technique as soon as possible.
Next, Lei Luo took Kushina, regardless of the latter's reluctant expression with Namikaze Minato, and brought this "precious" Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki candidate to the root base, preparing to hand over to Danzo.
.
In the cold and damp underground space, Lei Luo caught a few root ninjas wandering around and asked them around, and soon found out Danzo's location.
Walking into a wooden living room with a nice environment, Lei Luo immediately saw Danzo sitting cross-legged on the floor in the center, leaning leisurely on a low table, making tea calmly.
The remaining fire slowly burned the bottom of the purple sand teapot, and a curl of white mist emerged, filling the surrounding space. The scent of tea poured into Lei Luo's nose, making him frown slightly.
Emotions: Lei Luo was fighting to the death with the Third Raikage outside, but Danzo, the old guy, was hiding here to enjoy himself. Looking at the other party's expression, let alone worry, there was not even a little bit of tension.
This guy Danzo... The elder of Konoha is really comfortable in his position.
"I'm back."
After saying a cold word, Lei Luo lowered his body and sat unceremoniously opposite Danzo. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, slightly moistening his dry throat.
On the other side, Danzo didn't pay attention to Lei Luo's rude behavior. He carefully put down the tea set in his hand and put aside a delicate wooden shovel and the full tea leaves in it.
After all this was done, Danzo raised his head. He first glanced at Lei Luo with an expressionless expression, and kept lifting the teapot to pour water for himself.
Then, without saying anything else, Danzo turned his head and turned his gaze to Kushina, who was standing aside with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"Uzumaki Kushina..."
After pondering for a while, Danzo raised his left hand, put his elbow on the low table, put the back of his hand lightly on his chin, half-squinted one eye and stared at Kushina and said:
"From yesterday afternoon until now, tell me everything about how you were kidnapped by Yun Nin."
Perhaps because she felt the majestic aura of the black-robed old man in front of her, or perhaps because the surrounding environment was too oppressive, Kushina felt her whole body trembling slightly for a moment, and she was so nervous that she could not speak at all.
Even though she was "invincible" in the ninja school and had various nicknames that made her classmates fearful, at the end of the day, Kushina was just a twelve-year-old girl.
When hiding this cold temperament and powerful Konoha elder, Kushina naturally felt scared, so she waited for a long time before uttering one word: "I..."
He said "I" for a long time, but did not follow up with any words. Kushina's behavior undoubtedly made Danzo deeply impatient, and he couldn't help but knock the table heavily.
Boom!
Lei Luo, who had been watching silently from the side, couldn't help but couldn't help it. He first put down the half-drunk teapot in his hand, and then said directly to Danzo:
"If you have any questions, just ask me. It's hard for you to get angry at such a young child."
"child?"
Hearing this, Danzo turned his head, glanced at Lei Luo coldly, his face darkened, and he suppressed his anger and said:
"Do you know how much pressure I have been under in front of Mito-sama due to the disappearance of Kushina Uzumaki?"
"She is already a genin, and she has a heavy responsibility, not just a child!"
Lei Luo was greatly surprised when he noticed that the anger on Danzo's face was not fake. He thought about it for a while and soon realized:
Danzo might not be able to control his emotions this time because of the Kumo ninja kidnapping Kushina incident, which made him suffer in front of "certain people".
This feeling is a bit like making excuses, or it can be said to be a way of expressing anger.
Speaking of which, the reason for his mission seemed to be to fulfill Danzo's order, but... why was it Danzo?
Given the importance of the Nine-Tails and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, normally speaking, members of the Hokage system should be responsible for their protection.
But now it seems that Danzo was the first high-level person to discover that Kushina was missing. It was also Danzo who summoned him urgently and gave him orders. What does this mean?
Thinking of this, Lei Luo couldn't help but start to recall:
I remember that yesterday afternoon, at the edge of the Forest of Death, at the scene of Kushina's disappearance, I only saw Danzo, a senior executive, and no other senior executives appeared.
This phenomenon is obviously very unusual.
Could it be said that Danzo has already inserted his power into matters related to Kyuubi?
How would Sarutobi Hiruzen and other senior Hokage officials tolerate such a situation?
It seems that there is something that I don't know about Danzo, at the top of Konoha's power hierarchy, that has been quietly developing...
Many thoughts quickly flashed through Lei Luo's mind. He looked at Danzo calmly, only to see that the latter was still staring at him angrily, as if waiting for his answer.
"The enemy who kidnapped Kushina is the Third Raikage." Without any nonsense, Lei Luo went straight to the topic, ignoring Danzo's shocked expression, and continued:
"I defeated the Raikage and rescued Uzumaki Kushina. This is how this mission happened."
As soon as Lei Luo finished speaking, Danzo stood up with a roar, staring at the former with his eyes, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Thunder Shadow?!"
"How could the Raikage participate in such a mission? Could it be that the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki has been leaked?"
"Damn Yunyin Village..."
As he spoke, Danzo paced around twice impatiently. After a moment, he finally realized what he was doing. He looked at Lei Luo suspiciously and asked, "Wait a minute..."
"Did you just say that you defeated the Raikage?"
"Strictly speaking, I just beat the guy away and removed one of his arms." Lei Luo did not exaggerate his results. He spread his hands and replied nonchalantly.
