When Lei Luo passed through the physical defense line of the Kirigakure ninjas, knocking down and flying countless Kirigakure ninjas along the way like a typhoon, someone on the wall of Uzushio Village already noticed this sudden change.
Therefore, when Lei Luo finally arrived at the city of Uzumaki Village, although there were a circle of Uzumaki tribesmen with vigilant eyes around them, there was no brainless guy trying to yell at Lei Luo to kill him.
But similarly, many Uzumaki tribe members tacitly stopped in front of Lei Luo and had no intention of letting him pass. It seemed that they were still very wary.
The two sides faced off for a while, and just when Lei Luo felt a little impatient, a middle-aged man in his thirties who was leading the Uzumaki tribe on the opposite side suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Lei Luo.
"Your Mightiness……"
The middle-aged man looked at Lei Luo cautiously, put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly for a moment, then raised his head, and asked very cautiously:
"I wonder who you are?"
As if he had expected this question from the other party, Lei Luo shook his shoulders slightly, and a forehead protector immediately fell out of his sleeve, and he held it in his hand.
Then, Lei Luo flicked his wrist, and the forehead protector drew an arc in the air, and was taken directly by the middle-aged man in front of him.
"I am a Konoha ninja."
"I want to see your clan leader as soon as possible."
In just two sentences, Lei Luo expressed his intention very clearly. The content of his words was very simple: I am your reinforcement, hurry up and find someone who can talk to you, I don't have time to talk to you.
Waste of time.
Hearing Lei Luo reveal his identity, many of the Uzumaki tribe members on the opposite side couldn't help but make a slight commotion. However, as the middle-aged man in the lead turned his head slightly and signaled with his eyes for a moment, they all became quiet.
A few seconds passed, and when the forehead protector in his hand was inspected, the middle-aged man handed it back to Lei Luo and said seriously:
"Your Excellency Konoha, the leader of our clan is on his way quickly. Please stay here for a moment."
"Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."
Although Lei Luo showed off his extremely strong strength during his sudden attack, he also expressed his hostile stance towards Kirigakure, and now he even took out a forehead protector to prove his identity.
But the middle-aged man still didn't dare to let Lei Luo enter the Whirlpool Village just like that, because "keep this place and don't let even a fly in" was the order he received and the responsibility he should shoulder.
No matter what kind of emergency situation occurs, it will naturally be decided by the clan leader himself.
He knows very well that he neither has the authority to make any decisions without authorization, nor the qualifications to take all risks for this purpose.
Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied the strong support in front of him is, the middle-aged man will stick to his beliefs and strictly implement every order he receives.
Perhaps he noticed the determination in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him, Lei Luo did not continue to force anything, and simply sat down on the ground and took a short rest.
Glancing at the middle-aged man who was standing silently aside, looking like he was relieved, Lei Luoxian spoke with a very bored expression:
"May I have your name?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's heart moved and he immediately replied:
"My name is Uzumaki Cheng. Thanks to the trust of the clan leader, I am currently living in the position of commander-in-chief of the West Wall garrison."
Uzumaki Makoto's expression was cautious, his attitude was respectful, and his tone and words were all very polite. Only his legs never moved back a bit, and his eyes were firmly locked on Lei Luo.
The various profound meanings shown in this made Lei Luo slightly interesting. For a moment, he only thought that Uzumaki Cheng was a wonderful person, and then asked:
"I see that you are very vigilant...I have gone to this extent to prove myself, but you are still so defensive about me..."
"Is it possible that you have suffered similar losses before?"
Lei Luo's tone was very casual, as if he was just chatting to kill time, but Uzumaki Cheng did not dare to be careless.
Probably because he had just seen Lei Luo's strength with his own eyes on the top of the city.
Although he had already ruled out the possibility of Lei Luo being Kirigakure's spy in his heart, Uzumaki Makoto knew that he could not do anything based on his own opinion, and everything had to be decided by the clan leader, which was a formal procedure.
However, despite this, if the strong support is dissatisfied due to this overly cautious attitude, although Uzumaki Makoto himself will not be harshly criticized by the clan leader, the Uzumaki clan as a whole will undoubtedly be looked down upon by the other party.
And this would undoubtedly do more harm than good to him.
Therefore, facing Lei Luo's seemingly casual question, but actually quite sharp, Uzumaki Makoto decided to tell the truth with reservations after a brief thought.
"Things like forehead protectors can be forged. Kirigakure ninjas have also used the so-called bitter flesh trick in order to insert conspirators into our Uzumaki Village."
"These things are all based on lessons learned from past experiences."
Sighing slightly, Uzumaki Cheng's eyes flashed with fear unconsciously, and then he said to Lei Luo sincerely:
"Sir, it's not that we can't trust you."
"Really, we are a little scared by the endless methods used by Kirigakure Village, that's why we are so careful."
"After all, at this point, the Country of Uzumaki, Uzushio Village, and even the Uzumaki clan can no longer afford the slightest risk."
After finishing his words, Uzumaki Cheng silently raised his head and his eyes slowly swept towards the direction of the city.
As far as the field of vision could be seen, countless piles of rubble, bricks and tiles, and ruins of walls filling every corner suddenly came into view.
Above the sky, the setting sun is like blood, and flocks of crows fly around, landing in the ruins from time to time. Looking at the movements of their lowered heads and gnawing, you can imagine what these crows are eating.
Facts have proved that even if it is the same scene, the atmosphere felt is very different when viewed from a distance and viewed from close up. Lei Luo understood it deeply at this time.
But he had seen similar scenes countless times, so he did not express any emotion, but continued to ask calmly: "How long has the war been going on?"
Uzumaki Cheng retracted his gaze from the distance and paused for a second or two on Lei Luo's ancient and smooth face. Then he slowly replied: "It has been more than a month."
"A month?"
After muttering something in a low voice, Lei Luo stopped dwelling on the topic and stood up abruptly. At the same time, he straightened his expression and looked behind Uzumaki Cheng.
The situation he sensed told him that there was a large group of chakra reacting and rushing over quickly. The chakra intensity of the leader of them had almost reached the Kage level, and he should be the leader of the Uzumaki clan.
Uzumaki Makoto noticed Lei Luo's movements and subconsciously turned his head to look back, only to see the head of his family climbing up the city, followed by a group of elders.
