At this moment, Lei Luo's eyes changed slightly and became a little strange. He always felt that the Great Toad Immortal seemed to have a sudden change in temperament, which made him feel a little at a loss for what to do.
To sum it up simply, he went from an enigmatic magic stick, a prophet who took the world as his own mission, and an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, to a philistine businessman all of a sudden.
"Cooperation? Great Toad Immortal, I don't quite understand what you mean."
After hesitating for a moment, Lei Luo looked at the Great Toad Immortal rather unnaturally. He stared at the meaningful smiling face opposite him, always feeling that the old toad seemed to be hinting at something to him, but he was a little unsure about the specifics.
"Why, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, who always likes to talk about cooperation with others and pays attention to fair transactions, now also suffers from stage fright?" The words sounded like teasing and irritating, causing Lei Luo's face to darken.
He simply said:
"Big Toad Sage, you should also know the purpose of my coming to Miaomu Mountain, which is to practice the sage mode. If you regard this request as a bargaining chip in the transaction, then I naturally don't mind cooperating with you."
"It's just that I really don't understand. With your status, what can you get from me? Or..."
"What can you get from Konoha?"
From the previous sentence, Lei Luo realized that the Great Toad Sage seemed to know him very well, which also made him a little more wary: if it was just widely circulated information about him collected from the ninja world, then it would be nothing.
No big deal, but if some secrets are involved...
Seeing the slight change in Lei Luo's face, the Great Toad Immortal knew that the other party was probably wrong. He smiled casually and said: "Lei Luo, my request is actually very simple and does not require you to pay anything substantial."
s things."
"Then what do you want..."
"I just hope that you can get along well with little Jiraiya in the future, and let all the conflicts in the past disappear."
"After all, you have now signed the psychic contract of Miaomu Mountain. In essence, you are all companions of our toad clan."
"Besides, you also know little Jiraiya's character. As long as you can treat him with sincerity, I believe that he will also treat you with sincerity."
When he said these words, the Great Toad Immortal spoke sincerely and had a kind attitude, with a hint of well-intentioned advice from elders to younger ones. What he wanted to express in his words was very clear: let Lei Luo stop being wary of Jilai.
This is also the so-called Sarutobi old club.
The best thing is to treat Jiraiya as one of your own.
To be honest, Lei Luo was full of surprises when he heard this request, because this was not a condition of the transaction at all, it was just a matter of face at best.
It was difficult for him to understand what the Great Toad Immortal was thinking, and what was his motivation? Was it really that the elder did not want to see the conflict between the two younger generations? So he couldn't help but intervene to mediate?
Intuition told Lei Luo that the request of the Great Toad Immortal must not be simple. There might be other content and hidden secrets, but he still could not judge the other party's true purpose.
This feeling is really bad.
But if you ask, you don't have anything to ask. Instead, it will appear that you are very stingy and judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.
The thoughts in his mind rose for a moment. Lei Luo saw the big toad sage looking at him expectantly. Thinking of the sage mode in exchange for reconciliation with Jiraiya, this deal was more cost-effective for him, so he simply said:
"I can promise you, but..."
After lowering his head and pondering for a while, Lei Luo showed a little unnaturalness on his face, and continued with a slight twist: "Jiraiya is also a Konoha ninja. As long as he doesn't rebel, I will naturally not target him."
"In other words, I actually have no conflict with him. If you make such a request, Big Toad Immortal, I always feel like I owe you a favor."
Looking at Lei Luo with a smile in his eyes, the Great Toad Immortal did not reply immediately, but leaned back leisurely. After more than ten seconds, he said lazily:
"It doesn't matter whether you are merciful or unkind to me. If you really feel that you have taken advantage of me this time, then it will be enough for you to be nicer to little Jiraiya in the future."
After saying that, the big toad closed its eyes. After a while, a slight snoring sound came from the toad, apparently entering a sleep state.
At this moment, perhaps sensing that the exchange in the hall had ended, Fukasaku walked in from the door. He first glanced at the Great Toad Sage cautiously, then turned his head and whispered to Lei Luo:
"Lei Luo, Immortal Big Toad has already given instructions. In the following time, I will teach you how to master the Immortal Mode."
Finally, his gaze lingered thoughtfully on the Great Toad Immortal for a while. Lei Luo came back to his senses, nodded to Fukasaku, and then stepped out of the palace door: "Come on."
Although there are still some things he wants to talk to the Great Toad Immortal, such as the affairs of the Six Paths and the other two holy places, but since the old toad has fallen asleep and made it clear that he does not want to continue talking, Lei Luo naturally has to respect the other party's wishes.
After all, no matter what, the Great Toad Sage neither made any unreasonable demands nor forced Lei Luo to do anything for him. The condition for practicing the Sage Mode is just to have a good relationship with Jiraiya...
This is not so much a transaction as it is a clear intention to befriend Lei Luo and sell him Lei Luo a favor so that Myoboku Mountain and Konoha can reach a special alliance in some sense.
The bond of this alliance is Jiraiya.
Therefore, he will definitely reconcile with Jiraiya in the future, and even take proactive actions, such as handing over the enemy, releasing goodwill, and even reusing Jiraiya in order to show his own attitude.
Although Lei Luo didn't know what the ultimate goal of the Great Toad Immortal was, why the other party wanted to please him so much, and what real significance it had to Miaomu Mountain...
But as the saying goes, repay kindness with kindness.
Since others have shown this level of sincerity, Tarello will naturally keep in mind the two innocuous conditions proposed by the Great Toad Immortal and strive to make them perfect.
Following Fukasaku, walking on the road to the training waterfall, the thoughts racing in Lei Luo's mind still didn't stop. He thought a lot about the statue and the scenes of world destruction.
Judging from the performance in the original work, the prophetic ability of the Big Toad Immortal is undoubtedly very accurate. Although Lei Luo once thought: the so-called prophecies do not rule out the possibility that the Big Toad Immortal is pretending to be a god, and the Six Paths Immortal hidden behind it,
He is the mastermind behind all this.
But now it seems that since the Great Toad Immortal can conclusively tell the specific pictures and specific things that will appear in the future, Lei Luo unknowingly gave up a little bit of the conspiracy theory speculation in his mind and really began to consider what the other party said.
