Lei Luo didn't know that Orochimaru had already seen something about him. Otherwise, with his character, even if he didn't kill Orochimaru, he would still find ways to threaten and control him. But if Orochimaru is not better than Yuko, will he compromise with him?
There is no real conflict, and no one knows what the outcome will be.
After Lei Luo and Orochimaru parted ways, they approached the team leader Jonin, whom they had met before, and asked about the next arrangements.
"The ninjas stationed in the Country of Rain have begun to receive supplies. We can leave after they complete their work." The leader of the team is a fat middle-aged man with a relaxed expression on his face when he speaks. Lei Luo guessed that this
This guy probably knows the inside story of this mission.
Lei Luo heard that the fat man was from the Akidao clan, and he didn't bother to remember his specific name. When he heard the fat man say that the mission was completed, he stopped pestering him and went to find a place to rest.
Finding a large leafy tree as a shelter from the rain, Lei Luo lay flat on the relatively dry grass and slowly closed his eyes.
At this point, Lei Luo could finally breathe a sigh of relief: this battle did not use countercurrent recovery, so after the chakra was completely consumed, his body was very tired. Coupled with a "cordial" exchange with Orochimaru, Lei Luo
I wish I could find a place to sleep right away.
Soon, Lei Luo fell into sleep, and even the thunder rolling in the sky and the raindrops pounding around him could not wake him up.
A few hours later, the team was ready to return.
When we came, there were six teams with twenty-four people. When we went back, there were only three teams with less than ten people left.
Although the war brought uncontrollable pain, life was still manageable. After understanding this, Ren Aoki and Naoko Sawai temporarily put aside the sadness of their friend's death, packed up their mood and prepared to return to the village... Then they discovered that they
The captain is not in the returning team.
After some searching, the two finally found Lei Luo sleeping soundly under the tree.
"Really, why are you still sleeping!" Naoko Sakai complained impatiently. She still had resentment towards Lei Luo, but she was no longer as angry as she was at the beginning. Perhaps Aokiren's comfort had an effect.
"Captain Lei Luo." Qing Mulian bent down and pushed Lei Luo. "Please wake up, we should go back."
"Um..." Lei Luo opened his sleepy eyes, and Qing Mulian's slightly blurred face gradually appeared in his field of vision. "Are you leaving? Wait for me for a while..."
Lei Luo put his hands on the ground and slowly climbed up. After standing up, he stretched and then yawned a few times. "Uh-huh... ok, let's go."
After taking a few steps forward, the raindrops instantly wet Lei Luo's body. But he didn't care. Instead, he raised his head and closed his eyes slightly, feeling the refreshing pleasure brought to him by the cool rain.
His consciousness gradually returned, and Lei Luo just walked in the rain, walking forward minding his own business, and waving his hands without looking back. "You two, come here, I have something to say to you."
Aokiren and Sakai Naoko looked at each other and quickly followed.
"After returning to the village this time, our team will probably be disbanded." Lei Luo stretched out his hand, motioning to Ren Aoki and Naoko Sakai, who were hesitant to speak, to listen to what he said. "I will apply to be transferred to the ANBU.
With my strength, I believe that Hokage-sama will not refuse."
Sakai Naoko blurted out: "Why?"
"Why..." Lei Luo murmured to himself, with a trace of confusion on his face. "I thought about it for a long time, but I still feel that my strength is growing too slowly. Joining ANBU may be the path I am destined to take.
.”
"Since the last mission, I thought I had become very strong. But if I could have been stronger and ended the battle as soon as possible, wouldn't Fujiwara Satoshi have died?"
"You are weak if you fail to protect your companions, but I am still weak if I fail to protect everyone."
Qing Mulian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Lei Luo's expression, he finally suppressed his words.
Lei Luo shook his head and said with emotion: "In the war-torn times, life is like a piece of grass... If you want to live a good life, you can only try your best to become stronger. This is not only true for you, but also true for me."
After finishing his words, Lei Luo was silent for a while, giving the two of them time to digest. I believe that his improvisation would make these two inexperienced children think they had deepened their "understanding" of him.
Lei Luo was not indifferent to Orochimaru's proposal. What the other party said was not unreasonable. The ANBU's mission channels were indeed helpful to his development.
In this case, Lei Luo decided to join ANBU as soon as possible.
After all, ordinary tasks are just a waste of time for him.
Take this B-level mission as an example. If it hadn't been for the village's plan to lure the snake out of its hole, this journey would have been smooth and uneventful. By then Lei Luo would not have had the opportunity to attack the ninjas from the same village to obtain ninjutsu resources, nor would he
He will not make great achievements to gain capital, and even the time he spends accelerating his practice will be meaninglessly wasted.
Three days were wasted in vain, which made him unbearable. In just one mission, he had already seen the "truth" of the so-called low-level mission. To be honest, no matter who planned this operation, Lei Luo would be grateful.
That person, at least he didn't let his trip go in vain.
But Lei Luo has completely hated this kind of ninja game. He is eager to become stronger, eager to obtain resources, eager to show his true strength and fight powerful enemies. Instead of leading a group of genin and having to work as a nanny all the time
I kept it hidden and ended up getting a bunch of meaningless remuneration.
So...after the silence, it was time to say goodbye.
"That's it, I'll leave first. Don't forget to reapply for captaincy with Mr. Hokage when you go back." Before he finished speaking, Lei Luo had already used the teleportation technique and disappeared from the place, leaving only a faint lingering sound:
"Come on, you two, we will meet again if we are destined."
Ren Aokuroki and Naoko Sakai looked at each other, and the silence lasted for a long time. The rain was pouring, and their clothes were completely soaked, but the coldness on their bodies still could not hide the melancholy in their hearts.
"Captain Lei Luo is still brooding over Zhi's death after all, and is not as calm as he appears on the surface. He...he really still cares about us." From this, the image Lei Luo left in their hearts also added a touch of warmth.
And this is exactly what Lei Luo wants to achieve.
Although Lei Luo was not from the same group as them, he did not intend to spend more time on these two genin. But this did not mean that he would completely ignore the existence of these two people.
The earnest temptation towards Ren Aokuro and Naoko Sakai was an excuse for his plan, an excuse that allowed him to enter the Anbu reasonably.
He wanted to use the mouths of these two people to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen his "mental journey" in order to be "politically correct" and dispel the Hokage's doubts.
A person who cares about his peers is more likely to gain the trust of others than an indifferent person.
The raindrops fell on the body and were brought out into a series of slender water lines. The body was surrounded by wind attribute chakra, expelling the slightly humid air.
Under the dim sky, the scenery in front of Lei Luo was distorted into a bunch of blurry shadows.
Lei Luo flew carelessly through the forest at double his speed, leaving a trail of afterimages.
After leaving the army, he planned to do two things:
The first is to find a place to practice the various spiritual arts of the mountain clan, especially the memory-peeping technique, which must be mastered as soon as possible. This is very important for his next plan.
The second is to capture a few stray ninjas and experiment with the effect of the power of time on others.
There are no other ninjas except Yuko in the Aquatic Village of the Country of Tea, and Yuko obviously cannot be used for experiments.
There are many ninja clans in Konoha, and the functions of secret techniques are even more diverse, especially tracking and searching. Arresting people hastily may lead to exposure.
When traveling between Konoha and the Aquatic Village, he didn't have much free time to catch ninjas.
Due to various factors, this experiment was delayed by him for a long time.
Now that he finally has the opportunity, Lei Luo can't wait. As for whether the "disappearance" during this period will cause any hidden dangers, Lei Luo is not worried at all.
It took a total of three days for the team to set off from the village. Excluding the time consumed by the escort supplies, this journey would take a day or two to complete.
At three times Lei Luo's speed, it might only take less than ten minutes to get back to Konoha. As long as he estimates the time well, he might be able to get back ahead of the large army after finishing the work. The "disappearance" during this period
, others will only think that he is in a hurry.
Speaking of which, the triple speed state has never been used in combat. Lei Luo was quite ashamed of this. He kept using such a powerful ability to rush forward, and it really felt like a hidden gem.
After dozens of minutes, Lei Luo's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and his feet slowed down slightly. Just now, he sensed several unfamiliar chakra reactions nearby.
Judging from the strength, he should be at Chuunin level.
