Madara Uchiha appeared in the ninja world and single-handedly created the May 26 Incident. Everything that was happening now quietly changed the Tsuchikage's mind.
It also invisibly changed the external stance of Iwagakure Village.
But Lei Luo is not the roundworm in Onomu's belly, how could he possibly know what the little old man is thinking?
in other words……
The relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure has become increasingly tense in the past few years due to their alliance with Kumogakure. The foundation for cooperation and negotiation is obviously lacking. Lei Luo naturally neither knows what Onoki thinks nor is he interested in knowing it.
Therefore, when faced with the Third Raikage's expectant inquiry about the start time of the hunting plan and whether it would change due to the May 26 incident, Lei Luo hesitated again and again and gave the answer:
The original plan remains unchanged.
In other words, two years later, the Konoha Kumogakure Alliance will start a war to invade the Earth Kingdom.
The reason for making this decision is actually very simple:
Lei Luo wanted to get the Escape from the Dust. He wanted it very much. He had never thought about it like he did now.
This urgent idea stems from the desire for power and the strong dissatisfaction caused by the delay in advancing the atomic energy plan.
The inability to advance the atomic energy plan means that the power of nuclear weapons can never be controlled by Lei Luo, no matter how much uranium ore he has stored:
There is no way to refine highly enriched uranium 235 nuclear fuel, and there is no effective way to stimulate nuclear power. Lei Luo wants to take revenge on Kirigakure and wipe Kirigakure Village off the map in an instant. This is undoubtedly a dream.
.
Therefore, Dust Release, a ninjutsu that can effectively interfere with the microscopic realm, has become more and more important. He has been coveting the elimination of blood stains for too long.
After getting the Dust Release, studying, practicing, figuring out the principles, and then further developing it, and then mastering the ability to interfere with microscopic atoms, Lei Luo can control the chain reaction and trigger a nuclear explosion with the equivalent of millions or tens of millions of tons of TNT.
.
By then, not to mention blowing up Kirigakure Village, blowing up the Submerged Country is not completely impossible.
A gentleman's revenge is never too late.
Although Lei Luo never thinks that he is a gentleman, he still prefers to do it more thoroughly than to go to the Hidden Mist Village and make a fuss without starting or ending.
Therefore, for the sake of the bright fire that he would emit with his own hands at that moment in the future, Lei Luo was willing to temporarily endure the urge to use force against Kirigakure, so that the Kirigakure would have a deep taste of the feeling of losing their home.
"Lei Luo, Lei Luo!"
The female voices ringing in his ears one after another awakened all the illusions that had been lingering in his mind for a long time, causing him to suddenly open his eyes and look forward, just in time to see the beautiful face opposite him wearing glasses and with a vaguely worried look on his face.
"Nonoyu..."
Muttering subconsciously, Lei Luo straightened up from the chair and looked up at the sunshine outside the window. After three or five seconds, he gradually came back to his senses. While turning his head, he wiped the dry corners of his eyes:
"Did I just fall asleep?"
Seeing Lei Luo's dazed look, Nonoyu nodded silently, and the worry in his heart couldn't help but become more intense, with a hint of intolerance.
But she may also know how strong the will of the man opposite is, so the words she originally wanted to persuade Lei Luo to rest more finally turned into:
"Lelo, Kakashi and Metkai have arrived. They are waiting for you outside the door now."
As these two sentences passed, his consciousness gradually returned to his body. Lei Luo shook his head quickly to cheer up and dispel the sleepiness lingering in his mind. His expression unknowingly returned to his usual calmness:
"Let them in."
Nonoyu nodded and left, and the Hokage's office fell into a moment of silence. Before waiting for the arrival of the two teenagers who had lost their fathers, Lei Luo took a long breath and unconsciously looked out the window again:
From near to far, from left to right, Konoha Village is full of villagers running back and forth. Various construction sites are popping up one after another, occupying almost every corner of the field of vision.
Noises and clanging sounds were mixed together, and the pungent smell from concrete and various construction materials filled the air. Even Lei Luo in the Hokage's office could clearly smell it.
Ordinary people, ninjas, everyone is busy with reconstruction work and building new homes. The enthusiastic, cheerful and optimistic atmosphere seems to have diluted the disaster a week ago.
Looking at the scene outside the window, looking at the Konoha villagers who still have a positive attitude towards life, Lei Luo always feels that the anger in his heart, the urge to take revenge on Kirigakure and Madara has also subsided a bit.
.
Anger can blind a person's mind and make a rational person no longer calm.
As for Lei Luo, as the leader of Konoha, anger may lead to major mistakes in decision-making and bring greater, more unimaginable losses to Konoha.
Although he wanted to set off to Hidden Mist Village to carry out revenge actions countless times this week, Lei Luo thought about it again and again and decided to put it down for the time being:
After all, the top priority now is post-war reconstruction, improving Konoha's defense strength, and preventing another incident like the May 26 incident from happening again.
In addition, the hunting plan, nuclear power, military reform, Minato Kushina's trip to Kumogakure, the second negotiation with the Fire Country daimyo, the planning of the second village, the root integration after Danzo's death, and the appeasement of Konoha investors
Work……
There are too many things waiting for Lei Luo to deal with. At this point in time, if he, the Hokage, leaves the village rashly to take revenge on Kirigakure, not to mention how much time it will take to do so...
Even if he succeeds in killing batches of mist ninjas, as long as the two culprits, Hyou and Uchiha Madara, hide well and do not fight Railo, the culprits will not be eliminated, and Konoha will hardly be able to calm down in the future.
What's more, unlike beating Iwagakure, beating Kirigakure doesn't get any benefits other than venting his anger. At such a tense and critical time point, it is undoubtedly very worthless to spend energy on Kirigakure.
The priority of fighting Iwagakure is currently higher than fighting Kirigakure.
When nuclear power and strategic-level power are in hand, it is time to really use the knife against Kirigakure.
Until that moment comes, any attempt to break into other people's villages and cause destruction is just hooliganism. It will not change the overall situation, and it also loses the character of his Hokage identity. He is not a country bumpkin like Hyou.
If you want to play, play big.
so……
"It's not that I won't report it, the time has not yet come."
He murmured softly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his reason finally suppressed his emotions. Lei Luo clearly understood what he should do now, and therefore, the first time Kakashi and Metkai walked into the office
, he opened his mouth and said:
"Kakashi, Gai, your father dedicated his life to the village and is a true hero of Konoha, and I, Lei Luo, will never let heroes bleed and shed tears."
"So, starting from today, you two will not only receive a corresponding amount of pension, but you will also be officially included in Lei Luo's key training queue, and all resources in the village will be open to you."
