Chapter four hundred and forty seventh entrustment
Lei Luo always likes to make decisions before taking action when doing things. This is true whether it is fighting, dealing with people, transactions or negotiations.
Even if he just wanted to compensate Kato Dan this time, he was going to give some benefits to the Kato clan to make up for his own conscience, which was already running low.
However, this "repaying favor" process must also be implemented after strict planning and detailed preparations.
Otherwise, if Lei Luo comes up and says:
"I killed Kato Sue of your clan, and then ate his soul after killing him. Now I feel guilty, so I want to make amends."
What would Kato Kiyoshi and Kato Rika think?
I'm afraid the first thought is "this person is crazy".
After all, Kato Dan no longer exists, Lei Luo's words are too bizarre, and no one would believe the "obliterate" skill.
In addition, even if Lei Luo didn't say anything, he would give out a bunch of ninjutsu information, a bunch of gold, and even directly ask the other party if he had any enemies...
In that situation, Lei Luo could guess how Kato and his daughter would respond:
I was forced to accept the gift under pressure, and then...bewildered, doubtful, worried, and even terrified all day long, for fear that the Kato clan would be annihilated one day.
This is very likely to happen, and it is also something Lei Luo doesn't want to see, because he is here to repay his kindness, not to seek revenge, nor to scare people.
Lei Luo knew how intimidating his name was, and he also generally knew what image he had in Konoha Village.
After all, he and Danzo are very close, and anyone with a bit of status can know this.
As for Danzo’s character... let’s not mention it.
In short, it was after all the above considerations that Lei Luo thought of borrowing Danzo's authority to read through the files related to the Kato clan.
The purpose is to find a suitable name, fabricate a complete and logical story, and finally tell it in front of Kato and his daughter.
This is the "name" of compensation.
This is also the legitimate reason Lei Luo believes that Kato and his daughter can accept it calmly.
Once you make up your mind to do something, you must find a way to do it well. This is Lei Luo's habit and his always-present style of conduct.
For this reason, even if he has to use lies, even if he has to deceive Kato and his daughter, even if everything is false, Lei Luo doesn't mind at all.
After all, the means are not important at all, as long as the final result is what he wants, hello to me, hello to everyone, that is enough.
Just like now, after a few minutes of silence, Kato Kiyoshi finally slowly expressed his thoughts:
"Sir Lei Luo, to be honest, our Kato clan does not lack anything at the moment, and we do not have any difficulties that we need you to solve."
"However, it would be too rude to reject your kindness like this..."
After pondering for a while, seeing Lei Luo put on a posture of listening and looking at him with inquiring eyes, Kato Qing thought for a while, and then moved his eyes to his side.
"Well, my daughter Kato Rika...she is the only person I can't worry about."
"This child has never experienced any hardships since she was a child. I am very worried that after my death, she will be bullied by others, or even encounter crises in some tasks."
"So, I hope that if you are free, you can take time to take care of my daughter."
As he said that, he noticed that Kato Rika's expression was a little weird, and his face was full of expressions that he was hesitant to speak. Kato Kiyoshi raised his hand and pressed it down, and at the same time gave Kato Rika a hard look to signal him not to interrupt.
Immediately afterwards, Kato Qing spoke faster, as if he was afraid that Kato Rika would interrupt, and said to Lei Luo:
"You don't need to teach her any ninjutsu. You just need to take her with you when performing some simple tasks and help her gain more experience."
When talking about the word "simple", Kato Kiyoshi slightly emphasized his tone.
Afterwards, he kept silent and just looked at Lei Luo with an expectant look, as if he hoped that Lei Luo would agree quickly.
He glanced at Kato Kiyoshi thoughtfully, and then inadvertently glanced at Kato Rika next to him, and found that the expressions of the father and daughter were extremely inconsistent. Lei Luo smiled in his heart and replied without hesitation:
"Okay, Chief Qing, since you said so, let me arrange the matter of the incense there."
"The only thing I can promise is that as long as I, Lei Luo, live in this world, there will be no life-threatening danger there."
Lei Luo's solemn words made Kato Kiyoshi feel relieved like a needle in the sea.
There is no need to go into details about Lei Luo's strength. As for the other party's motives, after previous testing, Kato Kiyoshi thought he had figured it out.
In this way, in the face of such a sincere and top-level master who came to his door on his own initiative, which was extremely rare in the ninja world, it was impossible for Kato Kiyoshi to say that he didn't care.
What's more, excluding the factor of strength, Lei Luo represents not only himself, but also has high-level officials behind him to support him. He is already the spokesperson of a force, and he may even compete for Hokage in the future.
For Qing, there is no harm in letting Kato Rika practice with Lei Luo, a great master.
Yu Li, by handing over his biological daughter to Lei Luo, has implicitly stated the stance of the Kato clan.
Although there is no apprenticeship, no marriage, or even a clear commitment, the Kato clan is not yet Lei Luo's allies.
However, with Kato Rika's identity as Rai Luo's subordinate, this can be regarded as a friendship to some extent, and it can also reveal Kato Kiyoshi's attitude towards Lei Luo.
The general summary is: I do not exclude you, and if conditions permit, I can also clearly support you.
But the specific choice depends on your attitude towards my daughter and your future development.
Cautious, prudent, not making enemies, and not immediately expressing his position to establish a relationship, Kato Kiyoshi did a good job of interpreting for Lei Luo the way of survival of a small ninja clan leader, and his nature as a wallflower was fully exposed.
Every word, every choice, and every move made by the other party was very measured. Lei Luo understood the meaning and felt a little surprised and a little happy in his heart.
Unexpectedly, just a necessary process could inadvertently gain the friendship of the Kato clan.
This is really...extremely interesting.
I wonder what Kato Duanquan would think if he knew it?
…
On the way home, Lei Luo savored this contact with the Kato clan. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Kato Kiyoshi was very good at doing things.
He is worthy of being an old man who has lived for more than sixty years. His perspective on things and his demeanor in dealing with others are worthy of learning from the young man Lei Luo.
