Negishi Qiao, who closed his eyes and was immersed in happiness, did not notice the subtle changes in Lei Luo's expression. When he opened his eyes, Lei Luo's face had returned to normal.
In the following time, the two parties drank two more drinks and chatted for a few words. The topic mainly focused on the Patriotic War in Iwagakure. Ishibashi, who was slightly tipsy, inadvertently revealed a lot of intelligence information about Iwagakure.
.
Such as the annihilation battle at Base 34, the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign at Base 26, the defeat of more with less at Base 18, there are countless morale-boosting contents that fully reflect the patriotism of Negishi Bridge.
For any Intelligence Department spy stationed in Iwagakure, this information can be said to be extremely precious, because the general distribution area of the above bases can be clearly analyzed from Negishi Qiao's words.
But this is actually not very important to Lei Luo.
After all, Lei Luo's focus is on the macro level of the war. The momentary victory or defeat, the advantages and disadvantages of several small encounters, are not within the scope of his consideration. What he cares about is...
"Negishishiqiao, have any elders visited us recently?"
"Why are you asking this?" He paused with the wine glass raised, and Shiqiao looked at Lei Luo doubtfully. The latter didn't think too much, and slowly said the prepared words with a slightly embarrassed expression.
:
"Mainly because of this mission, Heishi and I encountered a bit of danger. I feel that my own strength still has many shortcomings. In short, my shortcomings in close combat are huge."
"So, I want to know the schedule of the elders and see if I can use my past achievements to exchange for some ninjutsu, the kind that can strengthen my defense, speed up my nerve reflexes, and increase my physical fitness."
"Are you in danger?"
Looking at Lei Luo in surprise, Negishi Qiao stood up quickly, walked around Lei Luo with concern, and then glanced at Fugaku. Seeing that there were no scars on the two of them, he thought for a moment and asked curiously:
"A large force to encircle and suppress? Or is it the strong enemy?"
Negative Shiqiao's words sounded confusing, but Lei Luo figured out what he meant. First he stretched out his hand and motioned for the other person to sit down, then he leaned into his ear and lowered his voice:
"It's Kaleidoscope Fugaku. That guy's strength is very terrifying. Kuroishi and I almost ran away..." As he spoke, his head hung slightly with a downcast expression, his fists clenched slightly, and he continued intermittently:
"It's a pity that several ANBU ninjas who happened to be working together with us were left behind forever by that bastard Fugaku. Ishiqiao, I..."
Seeing Lei Luo's appearance, Negishi Qiao soon understood everything. He was silent for a moment, then patted Lei Luo on the shoulder and comforted him: "Kaleidoscope Fugaku, I've heard of that guy's name too.
"
"An enemy of that level is not something that ninjas like us are capable of contending with. Tugen, this is not your fault. I think the ANBU colleagues don't want you to be immersed in self-blame and pain all day long after you survive."
Among them, right?"
After saying that, Lei Luo raised his hand and touched the corners of his eyes. After taking a deep breath, his expression gradually became determined. Negative Shiqiao stopped persuading and quietly answered Lei Luo's previous question:
"The elders haven't come here recently, but I suggest you talk to Huitu. Although our base commander is not very powerful, his relationship is very strong."
"Tu Yuan, in order to protect your companions, the idea of improving your own strength is legitimate. With your past achievements and this encounter, I think Huitu will also support you."
"As long as Huitu nods, the matter will be settled."
According to Locust's report, Lei Luo also knew something about Huitu, the commander of Base 34, and knew that he was a guy who rose to power through connections, but he didn't know the specific situation.
Having made up his mind to have some contact with Huitu later, Lei Luo quickly ignored the topic and was about to talk to Negi Shiqiao about something else when he didn't want to suddenly get noisy in the middle of the training ground.
Looking back, he saw many Iwa Ninjas running quickly, and the human wall surrounded them in circles, shouting something. Looking at the expressions of the Iwa Ninjas, Lei Luo felt that these guys seemed a bit...
…excited?
"It must be Asaka who is back, right? Alas... Today is different from the past. Everyone stays in the dark underground base all day long. Their loved ones are not around. When you are bored, you will inevitably be interested in beautiful women."
Negi Shiqiao sighed, as if he was worried about the situation at the moment, but he left his seat very naturally and ran towards the crowd quickly, leaving only one sentence lingering in Lei Luo's ears:
"Tu Yuan, take some time to calm down after you go back. I think with your psychological quality, there is nothing you can't overcome. I'll go over and take a look first, and we'll talk later."
Watching Negi Shiqiao's back go away, watching the opponent roughly squeeze away the famous Iwa Ninja, causing a burst of dissatisfied complaints, Lei Luo twitched the corner of his mouth with a strange expression, and calmly raised his glass to drink.
Take a sip.
"Tuyuan, can you say goodbye next time..."
The Iwa ninjas all ran over to look at the beauties, and the bar area suddenly became quiet. Fugaku moved his body with an uncomfortable look on his face, leaned closer to Lei Luo and whispered.
With a sideways glance at Fugaku, Lei Luo put down his wine glass and said, neither salty nor cool:
"Do you think I just said it casually? I mentioned your name just because it is related to the follow-up plan."
After finishing speaking, Lei Luo did not explain. Seeing Fugaku's confused expression, with the word "do not understand" written on his face, he lightly patted the other party's arm, and then pointed to the direction of the crowd:
"Let's go and have a look."
Seeing Lei Luo staggering toward the area where the Iwa Ninjas gathered under the influence of alcohol, Fugaku secretly hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stood up, and quickly followed Lei Luo's pace.
Fugaku, who has a lovely wife at home, is different from the male Iwa nin who has lived underground for a long time and whose brain is filled with hormones. He actually has little interest in so-called beauties. No matter how beautiful Asaka is, she is only an enemy after all.
Helpless, Lord Hokage seemed to be planning something, Fugaku didn't think too much and decisively decided to follow the arrangement.
With the physical fitness of Lei Luo and Fugaku, even if they did not use their full strength, there would be no problem in squeezing through a group of genin and chuunin with their skill. They soon arrived at the front row, but unexpectedly, the scene in front of them was different from what they imagined.
A man and a woman stand on one side, and opposite them is another man.
Judging from the situation, the two sides seem to be confronting each other.
"Huitu! What qualifications do you, an incompetent second-generation ancestor, have to steal my Qianxiang?"
"It's ridiculous. I'll take it away? Asaka is not a commodity. Who she chooses is naturally determined by her own will!"
The red-faced Tai Zhi roared loudly at the opposite side, his face full of anger. Opposite him, a handsome young man was hugging a young and beautiful woman, sneering back.
This young man is none other than Chang Huitu at Base 34.
Judging by his age, he is probably in his twenties.
