At this moment, a large spotted python suddenly emerged from the soil behind Lei Luo, quickly climbed up and wrapped tightly around his body. The python's ferocious mouth was aimed at Lei Luo's cheek, and it spat out a message in a sinister way.
son.
Lei Luo looked at the snake head expressionlessly, without struggling, and just asked his question: "Why did Orochimaru jounin frame me as a spy?"
"Where's your evidence?"
Orochimaru slowly approached Lei Luo, his head naturally leaning towards him. The distance between his pair of cold snake eyes and Lei Luo's eyes was only ten centimeters. "Lei Luo-kun has never been outstanding in the past, but now that you have become a Chunin,
Within one year, the strength has improved by leaps and bounds."
"No, to be precise, it's just these two months. You have grown from an ordinary chuunin to a point where you are stronger than an average jounin. This kind of growth speed is really scary."
Lei Luo still didn't react much, his face remained calm, "So, what does this mean?"
"This shows..." A sneer appeared at the corner of Orochimaru's mouth. "Perhaps you are no longer a full-fledged Lei Luo, tell me! Who are you? Who sent you here?"
Lei Luo smiled nonchalantly. This was the second person who asked him "who" he was in recent days. Although Lei Luo felt a little surprised by Orochimaru's sudden attack, he had not considered this possibility.
He had been prepared for this scene since the moment he revealed his strength, but he did not expect that Orochimaru would be the first to doubt him.
Moreover, the other party seemed to know his information very well.
As a former chuunin, it should not be worth the effort of someone like Orochimaru to investigate him. And since he showed his strength, it has only been a few hours. It is impossible for Orochimaru to take him to such a short time.
The investigation was so clear.
In other words, someone was paying attention to him behind the scenes and conveyed information about him to Orochimaru. The things behind this had to make Lei Luo think deeply. In comparison, Orochimaru's temptation in front of him seemed inconsequential.
"Of course I am a Konoha chuunin and Rairo." Railo slowly spoke, answering Orochimaru's question. "I don't think there is anything questionable about me."
"First of all, if I were a spy from another village, I wouldn't have taken decisive action on the battlefield just now. Secondly, everyone may have their own unique personal experiences. The reason why you don't understand is that you haven't experienced it yet."
Seeing Lei Luo talking without any panic, Orochimaru narrowed his murderous vertical pupils, pointed out a "loophole" in Lei Luo's words and said: "The situation you were in was extremely bad at that time. Who knew you were taking action?"
Isn't it because of Yu Ren's persecution? Maybe you just don't want to die."
Lei Luo sighed and said sarcastically: "It seems that Orochimaru Jonin doesn't know that I have the ability to sense? There is no need to be secretive about the village's plan..."
Orochimaru's face changed slightly. Unexpectedly, Lei Luo had already understood the situation clearly. From this point of view...the other party must not have been forced to reveal his strength in desperation, but had already "premeditated" and wanted to "show" well.
There is nothing wrong with this approach.
But remembering the task assigned to him by the top management, Orochimaru did not stop testing Lei Luo. "Ningzu Lei Luo, have you noticed where your biggest mistake is?" Orochimaru said with a confident expression on his face.
"You are too calm, and this is not the attitude that normal people should have when facing injustice."
This is not over yet!
Lei Luo felt a surge of rage in his heart. He put on his face impatiently and snorted coldly: "I don't believe this, I don't believe that either. Orochimaru, do you really think you can defeat me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Luo's eyes flashed with a faint gray light, and the huge mental power in his mind turned into a torrent, rushing towards Orochimaru.
"untie!"
Click, click, click... The air was gradually filled with cracks, and with a loud bang, the world in front of us suddenly shattered.
"This is..." Orochimaru's expression suddenly changed, and he felt an unusual aura.
The next second, the positions of Lei Luo and Orochimaru returned to the way they had just met. Orochimaru was still leaning under the tree, and the python on Lei Luo's body had also disappeared.
It turns out that Orochimaru's sudden attack just now, and the thoughtful questions and answers between the two parties, were just an illusion cast by Orochimaru on Lei Luo.
Lei Luo did not realize at first when he was under Orochimaru's illusion, but his keen mental perception quickly noticed the abnormality. Because he had the Yamanaka clan's method of breaking the illusion, Lei Luo was not in a hurry to remove the illusion, but
I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in Orochimaru Gourd first.
Until Orochimaru refused to give up and made trouble unreasonably.
Lei Luo didn't want to talk nonsense and decisively lifted the illusion on his body.
During this process, because he was worried that Orochimaru would fall out, and because he was angry in his heart, Lei Luo unconsciously activated a little bit of the power of time.
Regardless of whether there is a fight or a negotiation next, Lei Luo has enough confidence that he will not be exposed: if the triple speed is turned on, he feels that he is sure to kill Orochimaru by surprise, who is still a little immature. If there is no fight, Orochimaru himself is not
It is impossible for a sensing ninja to detect the secrets he hides.
The atmosphere briefly became quiet during the confrontation between the two sides.
The muffled thunder in the sky was still ringing intermittently, and a little bit of light rain fell, soaking the two people's clothes.
In the end, it was Orochimaru who spoke first, breaking the silence: "You broke my illusion so easily, Lei Luo-kun, you are really not easy."
Orochimaru's tone seemed to have returned to its original leisurely tone. Only the solemn flash in his eyes showed that his mood was not as calm as it appeared.
At that moment, Orochimaru felt a strong threat, which aroused his vigilance.
However, Lei Luo did not notice the abnormality of Orochimaru and was still thinking about countermeasures.
Orochimaru's title of Sannin was obtained when Konoha withdrew from the battlefield of Rain Country, which was also the period of sublimation of his strength.
It has been less than a year since the Second Ninja War began, and Orochimaru is nothing more than a Jonin with outstanding potential. The only special thing about him now is that he is the apprentice of the Third Hokage.
Lei Luo's normal strength includes the huge mental power caused by time travel, the sudden increase in chakra volume, the large amount of ninjutsu experience accumulated through high-speed training, and the tenacity and acumen honed by countless battles in his previous life.
intuition.
Even though Orochimaru is much stronger than Lei Luo, the "new jounin", it is not that simple to take down Lei Luo easily.
At least a small illusion can never do anything to him.
And if he really wanted to take action, Orochimaru would have gone against the wishes of the higher-ups. After all, the higher-ups only suspected Lei Luo without any real evidence. If a ninja from the same village rashly started a fight, the nature of it would have changed.
After all, Orochimaru's mission is just to test Lei Luo.
‘Is it still because of Yueguang Xandao?’ Lei Luo thought. After all, Yueguang Xandao’s amnesia seemed strange, and he was the only witness at the time, so it was inevitable to be suspected.
only……
"Jonin Orochimaru, is it Hokage-sama's intention to use genjutsu on me?" Lei Luo was indifferent to Orochimaru's praise. He asked in a serious tone with no expression on his face.
"You seem to know something." Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "It's not Sarutobi-sensei, but the instructions from other senior officials. But..."
Orochimaru put on an expression of great interest, looked Lei Luo up and down and said: "Although there is nothing to gain, I have become quite interested in you, Lei Luo-kun."
With Orochimaru's arrogant heart, he shouldn't lie about such a trivial matter.
If it's not Hokage, who could it be? Danzo?
In Lei Luo's impression, it seems that apart from Hiruzen Sarutobi, the only senior Konoha executive who can instigate Orochimaru is Danzo Shimura.
And he dared to let Orochimaru cast genjutsu on the ninjas of the same village so unscrupulously. This is very Danzo's style: kill the wrong one and never let him go.
After thinking about it, Lei Luo was not too worried: as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't bite him to death, it would be fine. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only "channel" that could stably obtain ninjutsu information. He didn't want to do this.
Give up long ago.
Lei Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but said without any expression on his face: "I don't know anything, and I don't want to know anything. Orochimaru Jonin, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo in surprise, "You don't seem to be angry about what just happened?"
Lei Luo pretended to be confused and looked around: "What happened? What just happened?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for Orochimaru's response and left on his own.
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then gradually realized what Lei Luo meant: the other party did not want to make this matter a big deal.
Through the question and answer in the genjutsu just now, Orochimaru judged that Lei Luo was not a spy from other villages.
In this case, it would be morally untenable for him to use illusions on ninjas from the same village without authorization. If Lei Luo makes a fuss after returning, neither he nor Danzo will feel good. After all, this matter was done without telling the Hokage.
of.
Lei Luo's pretentiousness just now should be to send a message: he does not want to have more entanglements with Orochimaru and the people behind him, so the matter was revealed like this.
Orochimaru didn't understand why Lei Luo, a seventeen-year-old young man, was so generous after being angry, but he knew that he had left a handle in Lei Luo's hands.
Orochimaru actually didn't care about the existence of this handle, but he became more and more interested in Lei Luo: he was not weak in strength, but he kept silent (he still thought Lei Luo had started hiding his strength very early); he was obviously still young
He is very young, but his character is extremely calm; the most important thing is that he can't understand the true purpose of Lei Luo's various actions.
Therefore, he moved lightly and followed behind Lei Luo.
Orochimaru didn't have any clear purpose. He accompanied Lei Luo for a walk, just because he still had something to talk to Lei Luo. Excluding the mission factor, Orochimaru felt that Lei Luo's character was also very interesting.
