The ambition shown by Uzumaki Cheng in front of Lei Luo at this moment did not surprise Lei Luo. After all, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This principle applies everywhere. Uzumaki Village is not a paradise. Thousands of tribesmen have come down.
, it is absolutely normal for a few careerists to be born.
However, compared to Uzumaki Cheng's motives and goals, Lei Luo is more concerned about what he can get from it:
If the current leader of the Uzumaki clan is allowed to step down and the ambitious Uzumaki Makoto is promoted to the throne, will he be able to achieve his goal of controlling the Uzumaki clan and make these thousands of people his help when he usurps the throne of Hokage?
At present, it seems that the current leader of the Whirlpool Clan has a more upright character and a bad temper. To put it more directly, he has no brains. This is the conclusion that Lei Luo can draw after only half a day of contact with him.
Choosing to open up to discuss cooperation with the Whirlpool Clan leader, Lei Luo estimated that there was a high probability that he would hit a wall.
But Uzumaki Cheng is different. This man is undoubtedly a smart man. Judging from his words and deeds, as well as his previous performance on the city, Lei Luo thinks that this guy should be a sensible person, at least not as confused as the Uzumaki clan leader.
And Lei Luo has always liked to cooperate with smart people, because this allows him to eliminate many issues such as "emotions" and "beliefs", and only needs to focus on the interests of everything.
All kinds of thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. Lei Luo looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he had something moving in his heart.
However, throwing his bargaining chips and demands directly at Uzumaki Cheng was not in line with his current position and situation, so he decided to test the other party again and let the other party take the initiative to say something:
"You are a real person, but there is one thing I don't understand..."
Lei Luo looked at Uzumaki Cheng with a smile, slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and asked in a slightly heavier tone:
"You just tell me your desires so openly, aren't you afraid that I will tell the head of your family about this?"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid you will not only lose your position as commander-in-chief of the Western Wall, but your life may also be lost."
Lei Luo did not directly take the topic to the next step. Instead, he asked a very pointed question. Uzumaki Cheng knew that the other party was trying to scare him on the surface, but in fact he was mostly bargaining to see his "sincerity".
"You wouldn't do that."
He calmly gave a conclusion first. Seeing that Lei Luo seemed to be noncommittal, Uzumaki Makoto couldn't help coughing slightly, and slowly added: "First of all, among the people present, I am the only one who knows what you are pursuing."
"What you desire is to acquire various ninjutsu, right?" Although it was a question, Uzumaki Cheng looked very determined when he spoke, and then he continued without waiting for Lei Luo to answer:
"My clan has many kinds of sealing techniques, I think you will be very interested in them."
After mentioning it for a moment, Uzumaki Makoto said no more. After all, there were other people around at this time, so someone might notice the conversation. He couldn't be too explicit or too detailed.
But he felt that this content alone was enough for Lei Luo to understand the sincerity he showed.
Therefore, Uzumaki Cheng quickly threw out his second chip: "After this war, although the clan leaders still seem to think that Uzushio Village's defense is impregnable, I know..."
"Even if Kirigakure is defeated and retreats tomorrow, the opponent is one of the Great Ninja Villages after all. If he regroups and attacks our clan again and again in the days to come, our clan will one day be defeated.
Up here."
"Now is the era when the Great Ninja Village is divided. The strength of one clan cannot resist a whole village."
"The patriarch may or may not understand this, but judging from his usual behavior, he seems to still be immersed in the old glory that the name of Whirlpool has brought him, and is unwilling to take any actual action.
"
Having said this, Uzumaki Cheng inadvertently glanced in the direction of the Uzumaki Clan Leader, with a faint hint of disdain in his eyes, and quickly passed over topics related to the Uzumaki Clan Leader in his mouth, and then continued:
"If you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries. If I were the leader of the clan, then my first decision would be to move my clan to Konoha."
"By the time……"
After a pause, Uzumaki Cheng turned his head, looked at Lei Luo thoughtfully, and completed the second chip he could give: "No matter what your goal is, our clan will become your ally and work for you.
To add strength to our grand ambition of hegemony.”
The sudden appearance of the word "Hongtu Hegemony" made Lei Luo secretly wary. He didn't know what Uzumaki Cheng knew about him, nor how Uzumaki Cheng knew it.
All he understood was that the other party seemed to know him very well, and even said words like "ambitious hegemony". Could it be that...Did Uzumaki Makoto know what he planned to do after becoming Hokage?
So where did the news leak out? Orochimaru? This is impossible.
That is to say...
"You should... know Uchiha Fugaku, right?" Staring at Uzumaki Makoto without blinking, Lei Luo asked Uzumaki Makoto with a hesitant look.
"It's not the young patriarch of the Uchiha family, but a friend of his. We often exchange letters."
Uzumaki Cheng knew what Lei Luo was wondering about. In order to dispel the other party's worries, he explained it briefly, but that was all.
On the other side, Lei Luo saw that Uzumaki Makoto seemed unwilling to say too much about Uchiha, so he did not continue to dwell on this point.
After all, compared to these trivial details, he was really moved by the conditions offered by Uzumaki Makoto.
After thinking carefully for a while, Lei Luo suddenly stood up and whispered to Uzumaki Cheng, "Come out with me and we'll talk outside." Then he walked to the door, opened the rolling shutter door and slipped away quietly.
go out.
At the same time, Uzumaki Makoto did not hesitate at all. He also stood up and left the table with gentle steps, without attracting the attention of other people in the room.
…
At the same time, when Lei Luo and Uzumaki Makoto were plotting to usurp the throne, the Kirigakure camp outside Uzushio Village was not peaceful either.
In the Shuiying tent, under the dim candlelight, the atmosphere was solemn.
The third Mizukage, a middle-aged man named Shigetsuki, sat on the main seat with an expressionless expression, with his confidants sitting on both sides.
"The Six-Tails Jinchuuriki of this village died an untimely death. Tell me, what do you think?"
Shuangyue was wearing a white water shadow robe, but did not wear a water shadow hat on his head. He had long black hair, but his temples were already a little white.
His eyes were always in a slightly squinted state, and there was no emotion or joy in his expression, but the surrounding Kirigakure executives understood that Mizukage was probably extremely angry at the moment, and his expressionless face now looked more like a storm.
The tranquility before.
On Shuangyue's left hand side, an old man with gray hair glanced around calmly. Seeing that no one was willing to speak, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and reluctantly said to Shuangyue:
"The death of the Six-Tailed Jinchuuriki is definitely a good thing done by Konoha Zeekage. I think the most important thing for us right now is to keep an eye on Konoha's movements and prevent them from continuing to increase their troops in the Whirlpool Kingdom."
