"Shisui, I'm very grateful to you for sending Mitsue here."
In the corridor not far from Fengying's office, Lei Luo stopped, turned around, and bowed deeply to Shisui. This thank you, he said sincerely, without any reluctance.
As the saying goes, lost things are often the most precious. When Guanghui's tattered body is in front of you, why cooperate with Guanghui for the sake of the stability of the people of the Fire Country is just a lie forced by the situation...
Everything is like a floating bubble, bursting at the first touch.
The hot blood flowing rapidly throughout the body, the slightly trembling shoulders, and the blank brain all indicate that Lei Luo does not have feelings for Mitsue as stated in front of Nonoyu.
There is no doubt that Lei Luo cares about Guanghui, and there is no interest factor involved, otherwise...
Guang Hui, a feudal aristocrat, would never be able to get the position of Speaker.
The roots are elite and will never protect Guanghui 24 hours a day.
The most important thing is that in his past and present lives, he rarely showed signs of losing control of his emotions like he did just now. This made Lei Luo very clearly aware of the voice in his heart.
Therefore, he could not imagine what kind of outcome Mitsue would have ended up without Shisui, without the Uchiha boy's bloody fight with Nonou and others.
As the Hokage of Konoha, Nonoyu has countless confidential information and high-end technologies. Kage-level powerhouses such as Hinata Tamaki, Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru, Beiruhu, Uzumaki Makoto, etc. are all willing to look at him.
In order to save face, he selectively obeyed her orders.
If the cutting-edge forces of the Research Institute and the Ministry of Intelligence really get involved, then there is a high chance that even if Guanghui is tortured to that point, he will not reach the end of his consciousness.
After all, in addition to the body, human beings also have souls.
At that time, Lei Luo, who knows nothing about it, is destined to regret his poor arrangements, not to mention his only bloodline in this world, the fruit of his love with Guanghui, his daughter...
In the days to come, he would not know how to tell his daughter...
There is a story about her mother.
Seeing the Hokage bowing to someone for the first time, Fugaku and Naoki couldn't help but open their mouths, and there was even a hint of disbelief on their faces. Shisui, after a brief silence, avoided his body, and his words were as calm as ever:
"Lord Hokage, you don't need to be so polite. Protecting Sir Mitsui is my last mission. Whether it's duty or conscience, I have an obligation to do it as well as possible."
"Rather than this, I have something to ask for your help with."
He straightened his waist again and was keenly aware of the words "last mission", but Lei Luo did not ask any questions, but nodded to Zhisui and replied seriously:
"Just tell me, no matter what, I will help you if I can."
The promise had been given, and Fugaku and Naoki gradually became quiet. They had never seen Lei Luo look like this at this moment. Unconsciously, their eyes turned to Shisui, wanting to see how this Uchiha boy would use this...
It may be the most valuable agreement in the world.
"Lord Mitsui has two maids named Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong. They are now probably in Nonoyu's hands."
Compared to Fugaku and Naoki, Shisui didn't seem to feel at all what Lei Luo's favor meant. He first made an introduction, paused, his eyes dimmed slightly, and then said:
"With my physical strength at the time, I really couldn't save them, but I really didn't want to see them end up like Mitsuke-sama, and end up with a tragic ending, so Hokage-sama..."
Raising his head and staring at Lei Luo intently, Shisui slowed down his speech and asked word by word: "Can you help me save them?"
After the words fell, Lei Luo looked at Zhishui in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply. Are there really people in this world who don't think about themselves? Are there really knights who think, think, and do justice in all their actions?
Shisui, a ten-year-old boy, his words, actions...
I was really shocked - Lei Luo, who is thirty years old this year.
At this moment, Lei Luo couldn't help but recall the fate of Uchiha Shisui in the original work, and the original Will of Fire...
After a long silence, Lei Luo nodded slowly and answered decisively:
"Okay, I promise you, Xiaoqiu Xiaodong will be fine."
Seeing that Lei Luo agreed to his request, Shisui breathed a sigh of relief. The lingering shadow of guilt in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot. At this moment, he seemed to have time to divert his attention.
For example, look at the former clan leader, Fugaku.
"Chief Fugaku, leader, this is the last time I call you this. Thank you for cultivating me, the son of an enemy, regardless of past grudges. But in the future, I may not be able to continue to serve you."
After saying that, Shisui bowed slightly to Fugaku, which immediately aroused Fugaku's doubts, and he couldn't help but ask: "Shisui, what do you mean?"
"I want to leave the Country of Fire and Konoha. From a traditional perspective, that means I am ready to become a rebel ninja."
When he said this, Shisui's expression was very calm, as if he was talking about what he had eaten this morning. This attitude made Fugaku subconsciously think that he had heard wrong. Just as he was about to ask again, Lei Luo unexpectedly
Suddenly he raised his hand to stop.
"Shisui, I've been meaning to ask you just now, what you said about the "last mission" before is that after completing this mission, you leave the Country of Fire and become a rebel ninja?"
Lei Luo's tone was very strange. It contained understanding, regret, and a hint of inexplicable admiration, but there was no trace of hostility at all. This also made Shisui lower his guard a little and replied calmly:
"Yes, Hokage-sama, I'm sorry."
Zhisui didn't explain too much, and Lei Luo didn't continue to ask.
After all, Mitsue's bloody corpse was in front of him, and all the causes and consequences of the incident were clearly understood. Nonou's various crazy actions would inevitably have an indelible negative impact on Shisui's mind.
This ten-year-old boy no longer trusts the top officials of the country.
"Let's do this, Shisui, I won't keep you, and you don't need to bear the reputation of being a traitor to ninjas. You can wander around the ninja world as you like. There is only one thing I can guarantee..."
After a pause, his expression became more serious, and Lei Luo said solemnly:
"When you want to come back, the door to the Kingdom of Fire will always be open for you."
Hearing the weight of Lei Luo's words, Fugaku opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more. He just patted Shisui's shoulder lightly, then stepped aside, and after giving a slight salute to Lei Luo, he looked after himself.
