The architectural design here is very much in the style of the great ninja clan. I don’t know why there are only a few members of the Kato clan building such a big house.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door hard, making a series of muffled sounds. Then, Lei Luo took a step back and stood at the door and waited.
After a while, with a creaking sound, the door was slightly pushed open from the middle to both sides.
Immediately afterwards, a girl with short white hair and a lavender kimono came into Lei Luo's eyes.
This girl looks to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a petite and slightly graceful figure, a light figure, and a height of only a little over 1.5 meters.
She has fair skin, a pretty face, and a pure temperament. Her slanted bangs just cover her left eye, leaving only a clear and bright right eye exposed, and she is looking at Lei Luo with a curious look.
"Who are you……"
The girl should be Kato Dan's younger sister Kato Rika. From the memory of Kato Dan that he has been absorbing recently, Lei Luo already knew the other party's appearance, and he said with a smile:
"Hello, my name is Lei Luo."
"I have something I want to talk to the leader of the Kato clan."
Hearing these two sentences, Kato Rika blinked unconsciously, and at the same time stretched out her little hand to cover her thin lips, a look of surprise flashed across her face:
"Lei Luo... are you..."
Perhaps guessing what Kato Rika was thinking, Lei Luo smiled and replied: "If you are referring to... the Lei Luo whose code name is Jueying, then you are right..."
"I am."
As Lei Luo's words fell, Kato Rika seemed not to have expected that the "legendary Jueying" would suddenly appear in front of him. At the moment, he hurriedly got out of the way and said in a stuttering voice:
"Yes, it's Master Jueying... please come in quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, as if she felt something was inappropriate, Kato Rika hurriedly excused herself and ran towards the courtyard quickly, apparently to find the old leader of the Kato clan.
The lavender figure gradually disappeared from his eyes, and Lei Luo was not surprised when he saw it: Kato Rika seemed to know something about him, and the look on his face revealed a faint fear in the panic.
Lei Luo had seen this kind of situation too many times, and he didn't care about it at the moment. Shi Shiran walked towards the house in the middle of the courtyard.
only……
After seeing the change in Kato Rika's expression after learning his identity, there was always a faint feeling of loss lingering in his heart.
This feeling came so inexplicably that Lei Luo was confused for a moment. He knew that he might be partially affected by Kato's broken soul, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
'Family affection, goodwill, love, care... are you feeling something because you saw that strange look in your sister's eyes?'
Subconsciously holding his forehead, Lei Luo closed his eyes slightly, savoring the various feelings lingering in his heart that he had never experienced before. He stopped in the corridor of the house for a while and became quiet.
There was only a gentle breeze blowing by my ears, causing the leaves not far away to tremble, causing waves of echoes.
…
At the same time, when Lei Luo was in contact with the Kato clan for the first time, Jiraiya on the other side had already carried Tsunade and sent her to Konoha Hospital.
At this moment, in a spacious and bright ward.
Jiraiya was leaning against the wall, peeling fruit with a knife, while looking askance at Tsunade on the hospital bed, and said in a neither salty nor bland tone:
"If you have to challenge, challenge, challenge... Can we handle a guy of Lei Luo's level now?"
"Tsunade, it's not my fault that you are a little too anxious."
With her eyes focused blankly in front of her, Tsunade was sitting on the hospital bed, leaning her back against the bed board behind her, with a vague look on her face.
Tsunade seemed to turn a deaf ear to what Jiraiya said, not even interested in responding. She just sat there in silence, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
The battle with Lei Luo, if viewed from the perspective of the audience, was probably evenly matched, and ended with Tsunade's "lack of defeat", as if there was only a thin line between victory and defeat.
But Tsunade is not one of those ninjas who are watching. She has personally experienced every fight with Lei Luo, and felt the power when the opponent hit her body. She understands...
If Lei Luo had shown the speed he showed at the last moment from the beginning, she, Tsunade, probably wouldn't be able to last even a few seconds.
Shadow clones, psychic beasts, and ninjutsu are all vulnerable to that kind of speed. Lei Luo doesn't have to worry about anything else. He only needs to find her body and launch a straight attack...
Then, the battle is likely to end in an instant.
So, how should she practice and in which direction can she compete with Lei Luo's high speed?
Dynamic vision, nerve reaction speed, and teleportation technique, these three aspects have been Tsunade's main training direction for more than a year, but now it seems...
Facing that extremely terrifying speed, which even far exceeds the speed of sound, the human body may not be able to compete no matter how hard it is practiced.
unless……
Just as Tsunade gradually sorted out her thoughts, her brows furrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thinking unconsciously, Jiraiya happened to lean over, handed over the freshly peeled apple in his hand, and asked:
"Want to eat?"
Being interrupted from her thoughts, Tsunade's already frowned brows instantly twisted into the character "Chuan".
But thinking that Jiraiya's trip had helped her a lot, she took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and responded coldly:
"No, you can eat it yourself."
"oh."
Hearing this, Jiraiya subconsciously thought that Tsunade had lost her appetite after losing the battle, so he stuffed the apple into his mouth, bit it down, and splashed a little juice.
"You missed the delicious food, Tsunade."
Perhaps because the apples were really delicious, or perhaps because he wanted to lighten the atmosphere, Jiraiya teased Tsunade with a playful smile, but only earned a blank look from the latter.
Realizing that Tsunade seemed to have returned to a bit of normality, her expression no longer as dull as before, Jiraiya pretended to be nibbling on an apple casually while chatting:
"By the way, Tsunade, the name of the ninjutsu you called out during the battle before... was called Eight Gate Dungeon, right?"
"When did you master this technique? I remember that Eight Gate Dunjia seems to be a forbidden technique, right?"
Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya and replied casually: "This technique was given to me by Elder Menyan, who said it would help me achieve my goal."
"Elder Menyan?" he repeated in surprise, and Jiraiya asked in confusion: "Elder Menyan took the initiative to hand over the Eight Gate Dunjia to you? And then you learned it without even thinking about it?"
