Uzumaki Cheng seems to be a person with a story. Lei Luo intuitively felt it after listening to the other party's words.
Although he didn't understand the story between Uzumaki Cheng and the Uzumaki clan leader, and what kind of conflicts they had, there was one thing that Lei Luo could vaguely detect:
The reason why Uzumaki Makoto initiated this usurpation operation should be closely related to revenge against the Uzumaki clan leader and others.
"Can't you live without this ability?" Lei Luo first repeated Uzumaki Cheng's words to himself, and then asked in confusion:
"From my observation, the leader of the Whirlpool clan seems to have a lot of trust in you, and trust cannot appear out of thin air."
"Could it be that the old guy's trust in you was all supported by your disguise for so many years?"
Noticing the confusion in Lei Luo's tone, Uzumaki Cheng did not look back. His face looked very calm, and his tone of voice did not fluctuate when he answered:
"You should know...the Whirlpool clan leader who was killed by us was actually the great elder of our clan, right?"
Saying that, without waiting for Lei Luo to answer, Uzumaki Cheng continued on his own:
"My grandfather is also an elder of my clan, but he is not from the same faction as the Great Elder. If strictly speaking, my grandfather should still be considered a competitor of the Great Elder and the others."
"I don't want to say more about the specific reasons. To sum it up, it's probably... after a certain political struggle in my clan, my grandfather was murdered by the great elders and his family."
"After that, my parents were also suppressed by those guys, and it was almost impossible to move forward in the clan. So, when I was a teenager, they died in depression."
"But in my generation, maybe my vigilance has declined, or maybe I have been discerning since I was a child and have been hiding my true inner thoughts. In short..."
"After spending a long time, about ten years, and going through several tests by the great elders, I finally gained the trust of those old guys."
"Finally, this is the war between our clan and Kirigakure Village..."
Having said this, Uzumaki Cheng paused for a moment, turned his head slightly, looked at Lei Luo from the corner of his eye, and then said:
"Sir Lei Luo, I have to say that your appearance has really helped me a lot."
"In the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I finally made up for the top-level combat power that I have been lacking, so now I have completed the journey that I originally expected to take ten years to complete."
After finishing speaking, Uzumaki Cheng raised his arms flatly, with a deep sense of contentment on his face. He seemed to be hugging the Uzushio Village in front of him, and sighed with emotion:
"At this moment, I seemed to suddenly realize that whether it was revenge, power, wealth, or my own dreams, it seemed that they would all be realized soon."
At this time, a stream of people poured out of the building complex in the distance, probably hundreds or thousands of people.
Large numbers of Whirlpool tribesmen ran towards Lei Luo and Whirlpool Cheng. They jumped over the ruins. As they ran, their red hair seemed to form a red ocean.
However, both Uzumaki Cheng and Lei Luo seemed to turn a blind eye to the Uzumaki clan members who were about to arrive.
After listening to Uzumaki Cheng's confession, Lei Luo was a little doubtful, but he didn't show it on the surface. He thought for a moment and then asked:
"Uzumaki Cheng, is your dream just to be the leader of the Uzumaki clan?"
Hearing Lei Luo's question, and sensing the mixed confusion and disapproval of curiosity in the other person's words, Uzumaki Cheng smiled slightly, he slowly retracted his hand, and said calmly:
"I'm just a little person, Mr. Lei Luo."
"I neither have your strength nor your ambition. For me, becoming the clan leader is enough."
There was a slight contradiction between what Uzumaki Cheng said at this moment and Lei Luo's last exchange with him. A strange color flashed in Lei Luo's eyes and he continued to ask:
"Uzumaki Cheng, do you want to regret it?"
At this point, Lei Luo's tone became a bit harsh unknowingly. Uzumaki Cheng knew that the other party might have misunderstood him, so he replied with an unchanging smile:
"That's not the case, Lord Lei Luo."
"It's just that, judging from the current situation, I, Uzumaki Makoto, can only be the leader of the clan, and the desires in my heart can only stay at this step for the time being."
"If you don't do this, if you don't think this way, it won't do you or me any good."
Uzumaki Cheng's words seemed to have other content, so Lei Luoquan suppressed his slightly restless heart and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to express?"
This time, Uzumaki Cheng turned around completely. He did not move, but his head seemed to have turned a 180-degree angle. He looked directly at Lei Luo behind him and said with a slightly serious expression:
"Sir Lei Luo, I have only one question. Do you think the time is right for me to help you usurp the throne of Hokage now?"
Uzumaki Cheng's question seemed to wake up Lei Luo all of a sudden. He thought about it carefully and thought for a few seconds before slowly answering:
"Now... my foundation in Konoha is still too shallow, and there are too few people who support me. If I start now, even with the help of your Uzumaki clan, I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed at all."
Usurping the throne, or a coup, or revolution, this kind of thing cannot be achieved by violent means alone. Even if Lei Luo goes to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen now, let's not talk about the remaining elders, as well as the Hokage and the elders.
The direct troops, that is, the clan leaders of each ninja clan...
Without reaching a tacit understanding with those people, even if Lei Luo is the high-ranking Hokage, he, the few people in his team, and even the power of the Uzumaki clan may not be able to suppress the constant flow of opposition elements.
The most important thing is that his current reputation is not enough, and he has not yet established a subordinate relationship with a large number of civilian ninjas in Konoha.
Although Lei Luo has fought many powerful enemies, except for the Hanzo battle and the Mizukage battle that will be spread soon, most of his achievements are unknown.
Especially the battle between Kato Dan and the Uzumaki Clan Leader. These two battles cannot be exposed under any circumstances. Otherwise, he will not only lose the support of most ninjas in Konoha, but also the only one who currently has hope of being defeated.
The power he took under his control, the Whirlpool Clan, was alienated from him.
Under such circumstances, by rashly attacking Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, he was making the entire Konoha an enemy.
Lei Luo knew that what Uzumaki Makoto said was right. Now was not the time to fall out with the top management of Konoha. At the very least, he needed to master a ninja army that had risen to a certain scale before he could launch an action to usurp the throne.
