If there is no hope of winning, Yahiko will naturally not make a hasty decision, but as long as there is a slight possibility of success, he will do his best to seize the opportunity.
What was heard on the other side was Yahiko's confident analytical words.
What he saw in his eyes was the determined expression shown by the other party when he was talking. It seemed that he was determined that he would not kill these two children.
Lei Luo didn't know how to evaluate this self-righteous brat, so after Yahiko finished speaking, he didn't respond for a while, but just stared at him for a while.
After dozens of seconds, seeing Yahiko looking at him without fear, without flinching in his eyes, Lei Luo couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"You have a pretty good mind, and you can also deduce useful things from details."
"I think the reason why you took the initiative to come to me this time was not just to express your gratitude, right?"
As he said that, Lei Luo leisurely leaned his upper body back, leaning against the wall behind him, sitting casually on the bedside, and raised his hand towards Yahiko.
"Tell me, what do you want from me? And what can you pay for it?"
After all, he was just a child of five or six years old, and what was in his heart was almost written on his face. Lei Luo could understand it all with just a little observation.
Due to the bonus of impression points from the original work, Lei Luo actually does not reject Yahiko, a little guy who can barely be regarded as a talent, so he asked the above questions.
On the other side, realizing that Lei Luo had probably seen through his little thoughts, Yahiko didn't show much embarrassment. After all, the purpose of his trip was to ask Lei Luo for help.
Nowadays, the topic can progress so quickly, and Lei Luo has not shown any ill will towards him and Xiaonan during this period. Yahiko knows that he should have won the bet.
At least, life safety is guaranteed.
In other words, it's time to take the next step.
After breathing a little sigh of relief, Yahiko straightened his expression, looked at Lei Luo with bright eyes, and said word by word:
"Master Lei Luo, I want to accept you as my teacher."
As Yahiko's words fell, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to become solemn.
At this moment, no matter what they were doing, everyone stopped temporarily and turned their attention to Yahiko.
Some were surprised, some were astonished, some were sizing up, some were scrutinizing, all kinds of emotions were condensed in the eyes, making Yahiko feel a sudden increase in pressure all over his body.
Lei Luo also glanced at Yahiko in surprise, as if he didn't expect that the other party would make such a request.
Accept Yahiko as your disciple?
After thinking for a moment, Lei Luo raised his head and responded in a neutral tone: "You really dare to think... Yahiko, do you know who I am?"
Yahiko shook his head and replied honestly: "Except for a name, I don't know your specific identity, Lord Lei Luo."
Lei Luo asked curiously: "That's it, you plan to become my teacher?"
Yahiko thought for a while, but still chose to speak out what was in his heart: "From Xiaonan's description, I think you should be very strong, at least much stronger than Amegakure Murakunin."
After understanding the meaning of Yahiko's words, Lei Luo narrowed his eyes unconsciously and asked with a sneer:
"Since you know that I once killed Yuyin, you should also know that I, Lei Luo, have a hostile relationship with Yuyin Village."
"In this case, you, Yahiko, are a commoner of the Land of Rain, and you want to take an enemy like me as your teacher?"
"Let's not talk about whether I will accept it or not. Let's talk about yourself. Do you think you will be willing to be my apprentice?"
Facing Lei Luo's barrage of questions, Yahiko shook his head disapprovingly and said calmly:
"I am neither a ninja from Hidden Rain Village nor an adult with a firm stance and mature views. I am just a child and a low-status war orphan."
"Wars between countries and wars between ninja villages have essentially nothing to do with us war orphans. We can do nothing but passively accept all unfortunate consequences."
"Who is right and who is wrong, and who is right and wrong, are not things that we, who don't even have enough to eat, should consider."
When he said these words, Yahiko's expression did not change, as if he didn't care about his position or his current situation.
But then, he changed the topic and his eyes suddenly brightened: "But!"
He suddenly emphasized his tone, and Yahiko looked a little excited, and his tone instantly became sonorous and powerful:
"Even though I am like this, I still have dreams and a desire to change something!"
"The Country of Rain has been ravaged by war for too long. As a child of the Country of Rain, I think I have a reason to bring peace to this country. This is my dream!"
Every word came from the heart, and every word contained sincerity. Yahiko stared at Lei Luo with unblinking eyes, his cheeks turned red unknowingly, and he shouted the last sentence loudly:
"For this, I need strength, and Lord Lei Luo, you can give me strength, so I want to worship you as my teacher, that's all!"
Yahiko clearly expressed his dream, which also included part of the answer to the questions raised by Lei Luo before.
Lei Luo felt that considering Yahiko was only about six years old now, it should be considered very remarkable to be able to say such a competent thing.
It's just that... you want peace in the Rain Country?
The Country of Rain is located in a place where there are four wars. As long as there is a war, it will be the first country to be invaded.
To put it simply, this country is both a battlefield and a strategic buffer zone deliberately opened up by the major ninja villages.
Unless there is no more Ninja World War, or the leader of Amegakure Village has reached the level of Senju Hashirama and can intimidate the whole world with his personal power, this will not be changed by personal will.
Judging from the original work, the route Yahiko took to achieve peace was advocated by Jiraiya, using communication and negotiation to achieve the goal.
But, this is too... naive.
The thoughts in his heart were reflected on his face, but he just didn't take it seriously. Lei Luo smiled nonchalantly and wanted to say something to attack Yahiko.
But after seeing the unswerving expression on Yahiko's face, he thought for a moment, gave up the plan, and said calmly: "It's a good idea, but why should I accept you as my disciple?"
"I'm not from the Country of Rain. What does the lack of peace in your country have to do with me?"
"In other words, do you think you... have any leverage to impress me?"
Facing the three questions raised by Lei Luo one after another, Yahiko was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and fell into deep thought without realizing it.
