It took Lei Luo a lot of effort to take out the memories of Ishii and Omu. After all, they are both Jonin, and their minds and wills are much more refined than those of ordinary Chuunin. Fortunately, overall it went smoothly, and Lei Luo finally got what he wanted.
It just takes a little more time.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day after Lei Luo left the team. Lei Luo expected that the large army had returned to the village. Now that the matter was done, he planned to return to the village immediately.
After disposing of the bodies of Ishii and Omu, Lei Luo started to return at three times the speed.
It takes an ordinary ninja three days to walk, but Lei Luo only took ten minutes. The ultra-high mobility provided by triple speed is no less than the teleportation in space ninjutsu. Although it takes a lot of mental energy, it is absolutely
It's good value for money.
As long as he knows an exact direction, the entire ninja world can be said to be free for Lei Luo to swim.
Entering the village gate, Lei Luo rushed to the Hokage's office immediately. One was to report the mission, and the other was to see if he could join the ANBU.
"Lei Luo, why are you back now?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was processing documents. When he saw Lei Luo coming, he raised his head and asked pretending not to care.
Lei Luo said with a bit of embarrassment: "Something happened. After completing the mission, I left the team and went to a nearby town to relax."
He didn't mention the specific method of relaxation, leaving it up to Sarutobi Hiruzen to figure it out on his own.
Hiruzen Sarutobi showed an experienced smile, put down the pen in his hand, and asked Lei Luo to sit down. "Is it because of the sacrifice of the team members? Although I can understand it, Lei Luo..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became a little more serious, and he said solemnly: "As a ninja, I'd better do this as little as possible in the future."
What kind of thing? What do you understand?
Although he didn't know what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking about, there was no strange look on Lei Luo's face and he nodded in a low voice.
This topic was quickly ignored. Sarutobi Hiruzen then talked about the mission situation, and Lei Luo added the details in an interesting way, especially focusing on his "heroic" performance.
"Those two rain ninja jounin bullied our jounin two-on-one, they simply treat us as no one in Konoha!"
"Of course I couldn't just watch when this happened, so I decided to teach them how to behave!"
"To be honest, I didn't expect that I am so strong now, hehe..."
When Lei Luo talked about the mission, his expression could be generally expressed as nonchalant but with a hint of pride, almost saying "Come on, praise me."
In front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Lei Luo must strictly maintain his personality. His speech and behavior need to be consistent with the identity of a young man who is inexperienced in the world, so that Sarutobi Hiruzen can feel at ease.
"I have heard about the situation." Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the table with his fingers, asking Lei Luo to "quiet". "You defeated two jounin one against two. Although there is some moisture, your current
His ability should be enough to bear the rank of Jonin."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put his hand on his forehead, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Lei Luo, there are two paths for you to choose now: one is to participate in the Jonin assessment, and then become the leading Jonin. The other is to join the ANBU, I will directly
You are granted the special rank of Jonin."
Lei Luo had nothing to think about and said decisively: "I want to join ANBU."
"Okay." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed no surprise. Apparently he had already understood Lei Luo's thoughts. He pulled out a form from the pile of documents on the table and handed it to Lei Luo. "Fill this out."
Lei Luo took it and took a look and found that all that needed to be filled in was some basic information. He said nothing more and silently picked up the pen and started writing.
The Hokage's office fell into silence for a moment, except for the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the silent Lei Luo, and was also thinking about whether it was a good thing for Lei Luo to join the ANBU.
I don’t know how long ago it was when I first heard the name Bingzu Leiluo, but the first time I had an impression of this name was during the last Mist Ninja mission.
The information that Lei Luofeng passed back without risking his own life allowed Sarutobi Hiruzen to take a certain initiative in the negotiations with the Third Mizukage, successfully obtained benefits for Konoha, and also provided convenience for the advisory group's next strategy formulation.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate to count on Lei Luo completing an S-level mission, and remembered this young but very capable ninja.
Lei Luo survived from the border with a narrow escape and showed his worth. Hiruzen Sarutobi recognized Lei Luo's contribution to the village, but he never cared about Lei Luo's strength.
From Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, the reason Lei Luo was able to complete the S-level mission was certainly related to his unremitting efforts under his tenacious will, but the most important thing was due to luck and the enemy's carelessness.
After all, Lei Luo was just a lackluster chuunin before. If he hadn't been lucky, how could he, Lei Luo Hede, have escaped with his life at the hands of the seven Ninja Swordsmen?
Sarutobi Hiruzen had always had this idea. It wasn't until the troops from the escort mission returned that he got the latest record about Lei Luo: he fought against two rain ninja jounin alone, quickly killed one of them and then assisted his teammates to kill him.
another.
Although the jounin of Amegakure Village are not as good as the five major ninja villages in all aspects, this is more reflected in the mastery and use of high-end ninjutsu and secret techniques. To put it simply, the amago ninjas generally have no "hole cards".
In terms of conventional ninja skills, common ninjutsu usage skills, and rich combat experience, the Amegakure Jonin and the great ninja Murakami Jounin are actually similar, so Lei Luo's record truly proves that he has the strength of the Jonin level.
Thinking about it now, Lei Luo's ability to survive after fighting against Loquat Juuzang may not just be due to luck. Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he had found a reasonable explanation. The only question now is: since Lei Luo has already
Why don’t you apply for the assessment of Ren’s strength?
Lei Luo's explanation for this is this: He has never fought against other Jonin before, so it is difficult to judge how far he has grown. If he rashly applies for the assessment and fails, wouldn't he lose face?
After Hiruzen Sarutobi heard this answer, he couldn't help but dumbfounded. This time he finally recognized Lei Luo's character: Whether it was the last conversation or this conversation, Lei Luo unabashedly expressed the importance of face.
.
Although they are all false, it is normal for young people to care about face. It is nothing more than self-esteem.
To be honest, this explanation was very reluctant, but Hiruzen Sarutobi accepted it. Unlike Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the Hokage after all, and he dealt with too many things every day, so he was too lazy to worry about such small things.
As long as Lei Luo remains loyal to Konoha and is willing to contribute to Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen will not care about Lei Luo's little secret, let alone insist on getting to the bottom of it.
This is the attitude a Hokage should have.
After a while, Lei Luo filled out the form and returned it to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the seal and solemnly stamped the Hokage's certificate on it.
"Lei Luo, from today on, you are an official member of ANBU."
Affected by Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood, Lei Luo also straightened his body unconsciously, acting seriously.
"Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, you go to the Tenth Training Ground. There, you will have your new captain and teammates. They will explain the rules and regulations of the ANBU to you in detail." After explaining the matter clearly, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a smile on his face.
A happy smile.
"I won't say anything unnecessary. Lei Luo, I hope you can gain experience and grow in the ANBU work and become the pillar of our Konoha in the future."
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, and then said leisurely: "Wherever the leaves are flying, fire will also grow endlessly. The fire will illuminate the village and make the new leaves sprout. Lei Luo, the future of the village is entrusted to you young people.
Don’t live up to my expectations when it comes to people!”
When he mentioned this Konoha motto, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression suddenly became very strange. He seemed to have three parts of longing, three parts of firmness, three parts of nostalgia, and one part of a deeply concealed sigh.
Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to exude an invisible force, which touched Lei Luo's already hard-as-steel heart. Perhaps this was the power of faith.
In this situation, Lei Luo felt that he should express something. So with an "unconcealable" excitement on his face, he tremblingly said: "I will do it! Hokage-sama!"
"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded lightly, feeling completely relieved when he saw Lei Luo's "unintentional" "revelation of true feelings".
"Now let's talk about the reward for this mission."
