Just as Lei Luo was hesitant and considering whether he should change his route: for example, he would first arrive at the Country of Tea that he had visited before, and then go in a big circle to the Country of Water, Namikaze Minato on the side suddenly spoke.
"Senior Lei Luo, I wonder if I can make a suggestion?"
Namikaze Minato's expression was very cautious, and his expression even revealed a hint of nervousness. He did not speak out his thoughts directly, but first asked Lei Luo in a consultative tone.
After all, if we talk about seniority and qualifications, Minato Namikaze is undoubtedly the youngest among everyone present.
Even Renanoyu, even though she is not powerful, as the head of the Root Intelligence Department, her status is higher than Namikaze Minato.
But even so, Nonoyu didn't have any face at all among the people present.
The scene where Aburame Shiguro mercilessly scolded Nonou just now was seen by Minato Namikaze, and it made him feel a lot.
In this case, it would inevitably lead to a similar fate and make himself too embarrassed. Namikaze Minato had to first consult the captain Lei Luo for his opinion instead of speaking directly.
"Huh?" His thoughts were interrupted, Lei Luo raised his head and glanced at Namikaze Minato. Seeing that the other party seemed to want to say a few words, he raised his hand and casually replied: "Say it, Minato."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Luo seemed to suddenly think of something. He quickly raised his palm and made a pause gesture, signaling Namikaze Minato to wait a moment.
Then, Lei Luo straightened his face and looked around with a look that contained a warning, especially staying on Aburame Shiguro's face for several seconds, and then he said in a deep voice:
"One thing I forgot to say... Discussion is a discussion. Anyone who has an opinion can raise it and refute it in person, but I don't want to see any disharmonious factors in the team."
"Our trip this time is to assassinate the Third Mizukage. I think you all know how difficult it is."
"In this case, we don't say we must be united, but if there is not even the most basic respect among the team members, then I feel..."
"We might as well go back home as soon as possible."
After speaking, Lei Luo paused for a while, waiting for these people to understand the meaning of his words.
Then, Lei Luo narrowed his eyes, slowly scanned the faces that were looking at him, and spat out the last words word for word:
"After I finish speaking, who is in favor? Who is against?"
At this moment, the venue fell into silence. No one said anything against or in favor. Even the expressions of everyone present were completely different:
Orochimaru had an interesting smile on his face, but he seemed to have no intention of expressing his opinion on Lei Luo's words.
Aburame Shiguro maintained a paralyzed expression as always, but not even the slightest emotion appeared on his face.
A touch of emotion flashed across Nonoyu's face, and his grateful eyes looked directly at Lei Luo, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Hinata Huan seems to have been in some kind of hidden state. It seems that apart from orders, there is no motivation to drive him to participate in Lei Luo's discussion. At this moment, he still maintains a calm expression and remains silent as before.
Uzumaki Zhishu's eyes flashed with thoughts and confusion from time to time, and he did not look at Lei Luo. He seemed to be thinking about something. He most likely did not hear what Lei Luo just said.
As for Namikaze Minato, he turned his head back and forth calmly at this time, his eyes constantly looking at the companions standing beside him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing no one responded, Lei Luo didn't continue to press. After all, he knew in his heart:
The people in front of him, excluding Namikaze Minato who has not yet grown up, are all experts in their own fields. It is normal to be a little arrogant.
If you look at it from the perspective of strength alone, Aburame Shiguro is a movie-level actor, and his true strength is unfathomable.
Orochimaru and Hinata Tamaki are also some of the elite jounin in Konoha. Although Uzumaki Chishu didn't show the slightest momentum, Lei Luo intuitively felt that this old guy was not simple.
In fact, even if you don't look at it from the perspective of strength, Uzumaki Zhishu is still very difficult.
According to the information Lei Luo learned from Danzo, one of the designers of the perception barrier above Konoha Village was this old man.
On this trip, if it weren't for the Uzumaki clan that was in trouble, and Uzumaki Mito also did some work in it, it would have been impossible for Uzumaki Chishu to participate in such a dangerous mission.
Let alone joining Lei Luo's team and obeying his leadership.
With Danzo's power alone, he couldn't even hire this old man.
In addition to the above four people, even the most inconspicuous Nonou and Namikaze Minato...
One of them is the person in charge of the entire Konoha Kirigakure intelligence organization, and the other is the fourth generation Hokage of later generations. None of them are easy to get along with.
To put such a group of people together and form a team, the pressure on Lei Luo's shoulders is quite heavy to be honest, because he has to try his best to ensure that these team members with different personalities and who are essentially rebellious maintain a harmonious relationship.
The most basic harmony is to make everything move in one place.
And this is undoubtedly a test of Lei Luo's leadership skills.
After all, the team members were not familiar with each other, and the atmosphere within the team was not harmonious. This was evident from Aburame Shiguro's reckless scolding of Nonou just now.
You can imagine how difficult it is to integrate them perfectly.
"Since no one objects, then I assume that you all agree."
Spreading his hands, Renault came to this conclusion on his own, and then he said no more, directly looking at Namikaze Minato, and nodded slightly.
After receiving the message from Lei Luo, Namikaze Minato no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, calmed down his nervousness slightly, and said loudly, pretending to be calm and calm:
"Seniors, I think you seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding."
As he spoke, Namikaze Minato ignored the disapproving expressions on Aburame Shiguro and Orochimaru's faces, organized his speech for a moment, and then said:
"Since our target is the Third Mizukage, our first priority is to find his current location."
"Judging from the large-scale military operation carried out by Kirigakure Village against the Country of Uzumaki, I believe that the Third Mizukage may have personally appeared in this war to increase the combat effectiveness of the Kirigakure troops and achieve the goal of annihilating the Country of Uzumaki in one fell swoop.
Strategic objectives."
"As for the Kirigakure village on the other side of the Water Country...Although the third generation of Mizukage may also stay in the village, I don't think this actually prevents us from following the search route of the Country of Whirlpool first and the Country of Water later.
.”
After Namikaze Minato finished speaking, he closed his mouth and just glanced at the thoughtful people around him with a searching gaze, while trying his best to maintain a calm expression.
"In other words, do you think we should go to the Country of Uzumaki first?" Orochimaru thought for a moment and muttered to himself. Then, without waiting for Namikaze Minato to answer, he directly pointed out the details in the other party's plan.
Vulnerability:
"The Kage usually sits in the village. Unless the fighting power is really tight, no Kage from the ninja village will go to the battlefield in person."
Inexplicably, Orochimaru seemed to be very willing to see Namikaze Minato defeated. A slightly sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he continued:
"And based on the overall combat power comparison between Kirigakure Village and Whirlpool Country, attacking the latter by the former is like swatting a fly to death."
"I don't think there is any need for the Third Mizukage to personally participate in the battle under such circumstances."
