Yueguang Xandao's face didn't look very good at this time. Anyone who experienced this kind of thing would definitely not be happy, even if he succeeded in killing the enemy.
Lei Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became a little angry. Angry that he took the risk to save this guy, and the other person was still entangled in such trivial matters. But he was wearing a mask, so Yueguang Huandao couldn't see his expression clearly.
"In this case, this is the only solution I can think of." To avoid the moonlight's glare rebounding, Lei Luo tried his best to make his tone softer.
After all, now is not the time for a falling out.
"You... forget it, at least you saved my life." Yueguang Huandao sighed softly, then stretched out her hand and tentatively touched it forward.
"Is it a wire?"
"Yes." Lei Luo nodded, walked towards the hidden body, and began the routine body search.
"The wires from before were all used to set up this trap. I need to add some more to this guy."
Yueguang Xandao looked at Lei Luo silently for a while, then took out a bundle of bandages from the ninja tool bag and bandaged his wounds silently.
The scene became quiet for a moment, with only the sound of rain falling.
Soon, Lei Luo, who had finished searching the body, stood up and was the first to break the silence: "It's almost time. The remaining one will probably realize that something is wrong soon. We need to leave quickly."
"Go? In my current state, how far can we go?"
"You can go as far as you want. If you stay here, you are waiting to die." Lei Luo replied calmly. "At the very least, we have to wait until you recover from your injuries before we act. I saw the strength of that guy in the end. From the front
If so, I am no match for you."
Yueguang Huandao couldn't help but taunted: "Can't you just use your conspiracy to kill him? Just like you did just now?"
"This kind of opportunity is not easy to find, and I think you, the Jonin-sama, are not willing to be bait anymore, right?" Lei Luo spread his hands seemingly helplessly.
Hearing this, Yueguang Xuandao couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. After a moment, he frowned and asked: "Why didn't you do the bait?"
Lei Luo made a pause gesture. "Let's not discuss this now, okay? Time is running out. If you have any objections to me, let's talk about it back to the village."
Yueguang Xandao thought about it and felt that there was no point in arguing about this. Moreover, Lei Luo seemed to be more sincere in admitting his mistakes. Maybe he was really following the situation out of urgency, and he might not have any malicious intentions.
On the other hand, she was obviously saved by the other party, but she still held on to him like this, which seemed a bit out of character. Thinking of this, Yueguang Xandao calmed down the dissatisfaction in her heart, waved her hand and said: "No, this
You did the right thing, but I'm a little fussy, so why waste time? Let's go."
Lei Luo glanced at Yue Guangxuan and said, having nothing to say.
Why does this guy act like a pussy?
Is this really a Jonin?
Oh yes, special.
…
The Anbu Mist ninja codenamed Han Feng stood silently in the rain, not caring that the rain had completely soaked his clothes. He was not only waiting for the stealth attack to return from completing its mission, but also thinking about how to report to the Mizukage after returning.
He was relatively reassured about the stealth attack. Although the opponent's frontal combat ability was not strong, there was no problem in dealing with Yueguang Xandao, who was seriously injured, almost exhausted and had lost his will to resist.
And he, Han Feng, has lost interest in Yue Guang Huandao, who has lost his courage.
As for the companion who was killed by Gekko Kando in the battle, he didn't feel sad about it. Isn't it natural for a ninja to die on the battlefield?
The only regret is that the dead team member was a sentient ninja.
You know, perceptive ninjas are very valuable. Their cultivation not only requires a lot of resources, but also depends on the ninja's talent.
Not protecting the sentient ninja during the battle was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty on the part of all of them. It was difficult for Mizukage to explain...
To be honest, he himself felt that their mission this time was not perfect. With his Jonin-level strength leading the team, accompanied by three companions who were at least special Jonin-level, this lineup actually made the exhausted and anxious
Yue Guangxuandao, who was injured, had to force a replacement, which was really inappropriate.
According to the intelligence, this Gekko Kando only has the strength of a special jounin, and his ability is completely exposed, so he poses no threat to them at all.
Presumably, Master Mizukage will be disappointed with the rest of them after returning, and this is a very serious problem.
As an ANBU, there is only one way to obtain tasks, and that is assignment by Mizukage, so Mizukage's opinion is crucial.
Mizukage is disappointed with them, and will probably never entrust important tasks to them again in the future. Without important tasks, there will naturally be only unimportant tasks. There won't be much money to be made from unimportant tasks.
"Damn Yueguang Huandao..." Han Feng clenched his fists bitterly. This time the boat capsized in the ditch, their carelessness was also involved.
The Dance of the Three Crescent Moon...it is said to be a taijutsu move created by the second Hokage of Konoha, and it is indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, the technique of suddenly hiding one's aura and making the body transparent was not included in the information. What kind of strange escape technique is that?
Although the time of invisibility is very short, almost only a few seconds, it is enough to instantly kill the opponent's weak sensing ninja.
Damn it, if Yuye had come to support earlier, with his ninjutsu ability, he would definitely be able to protect...
Wait...what about rainy nights?
Han Feng suddenly raised his head, his cold eyes seemed to have penetrated the rain curtain, looking towards the original cave.
Except for the noise of raindrops falling all over the sky, there was no sound at all. Except for the little dents left on the stone wall, nothing seemed to have changed much compared to the beginning.
Until this moment, he seemed to have never remembered the existence of Lei Luo.
A little-known chuunin, a lucky guy who escaped with his life from a beheading sword, an ordinary ninja with no special abilities...
However, his character is cunning and cruel, and he is very good at taking advantage of the enemy's weaknesses. It is strongly recommended to kill him first.
The comments on the information slowly passed through his mind, and Han Feng realized at this moment that he seemed to have missed something very important.
And...it's been so long and the sneak attack hasn't come back yet, which is very abnormal.
Although Hidden Attack has an unpleasant personality and has some quirks, he is very measured when performing tasks and will definitely not procrastinate for so long just because of "enjoyment".
Was there an accident?
Shaking his head, Han Feng didn't dare to think too much and hurriedly ran towards Yu Ye's hiding place.
Unfortunately, after searching all the surrounding places, he could only find two corpses, one stripped of clothes and one without a head.
It's raining heavily, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
…
Three days later, the sun reached the middle of the sky.
Two figures shuttled through the dense forest one after another, it was Lei Luo and Yue Guang Xuandao.
At this time, Lei Luo had thrown away the Mist Ninja's clothes and mask, and changed back into the Chuunin vest that he had hidden before.
He was about to return to the village, and he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings by letting others see him wearing Mist Ninja clothes.
The scenery on both sides flew past his eyes quickly. Lei Luo noticed that the speed was a bit fast, so he looked back slightly uneasy, "Is it really okay in such a short time?"
Yue Guangxuan snorted impatiently, "I'm very fine, my body is almost rusty after being here for the past few days."
Seeing that the other party was so "full of energy", Lei Luo didn't feel like saying anything more. He just laughed dryly twice, then turned around and continued on his way.
This time, he did not use his ability to heal Yueguang Xuandao. Firstly, he did not want to be exposed, and secondly, he was afraid that it would cause "amnesia" to the other party.
Also because Yueguang Xuandao, who was "ignorant" of his abilities, was nearby, Lei Luo did not rashly study his power of time to avoid being discovered.
There is a long way to go to develop capabilities, and the current environment is obviously not suitable.
In the past few days, they stayed day and night, carefully avoiding the movement routes of the Mist Ninjas, for fear of encountering another battle. There was no way, Yueguang Xuandao was injured too seriously, and it was almost impossible to exercise strenuously in a short period of time.
Their combat power is seriously insufficient. If they encounter a situation like that night again, the results will be disastrous.
Therefore, after learning their lesson, the two of them invested a lot of energy in hiding their whereabouts in the past few days, and no longer did it as perfunctory as before.
In this way, unless there are wide-area sensing ninjas searching for them, the possibility of exposure is slim.
It wasn't until three days passed without any danger, and Yue Guangxuan's injuries improved slightly, that they dared to go out on the road during the day, hoping to return to Konoha as quickly as possible.
In fact, what they didn't know was that at this time, the Mist Ninja was no longer able to pay attention to little people like them.
Because Konoha finally noticed their actions and responded.
"The mist ninja invaded the border of the Land of Fire and looted supplies."
After receiving this information, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen urgently withdrew from the battlefield in the Land of Rain and led five hundred ninjas to rush to the border.
Thanks to the spies lurking inside Konoha, the Third Mizukage quickly learned the news that the Hokage was about to arrive. He knew very well that now was definitely not the time for a head-on confrontation with Konoha.
Even if the Mizukage is not afraid of the Hokage, if a fight really breaks out, the situation will definitely develop in an extremely unfavorable way for Kirigakure.
Iwagakure is probably eager to start a war between Kirigakure and Konoha so that they can reap the benefits.
When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
The Third Mizukage had no intention of opening a second front like this. With their Kirigakure background, doing so was a recipe for death.
The top priority is to defeat the damn Iwagakure first, that is the real enemy.
So "it's time to stop."
Soon, following the order of the Third Mizukage, the mist ninjas packed up the large amount of supplies they had grabbed and reluctantly left the rich land in front of them.
But things will never end that simply.
This sentence reflects the inner desire of the Mist Ninjas. They are looking forward to coming here again next time to "make a fortune".
It also represents the anger and hatred of Konoha ninjas, especially the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in his prime, was not a pure martial artist, but his character was far from being associated with words such as weakness and compromise.
In this era, the words "Third Hokage" are synonymous with being tough and not easy to mess with for the leaders of other major ninja villages.
"stop!"
A deep voice sounded, and dense footsteps, accompanied by the whistling wind, stopped one after another behind the figure in the front who was wearing a large white royal robe.
One, two, five, ten... More and more Konoha ninjas gathered here, until they filled all the places where they could stay within two hundred meters. On tree trunks, beside mounds, by rivers... everywhere
They are the silent Konoha ninjas.
Five seconds later, when everyone stood still, a chilling atmosphere swept through them like a cold winter wind, and for a moment, the scene could be heard.
The figure standing at the front slightly raised his hat, and after scanning the area directly in front of him, a pair of sharp eyes stopped behind a tree fifty meters away.
"come out."
When the familiar voice reached their ears, Yueguang Xandao and Lei Luo couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. They no longer hesitated and jumped out of their hiding places.
Seeing the two people appearing in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows. "A ninja from the village?"
"I've met Hokage-sama."
"I've met Hokage-sama."
Lei Luo and Yueguang Xuandao did not dare to neglect, and both bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
His eyes skipped Lei Luo and stayed on Yue Guangxuandao. Sarutobi Hiruzen asked: "I remember you, Yue Guangxuandao. What's the matter with the injury on your body?"
"Back to Hokage-sama, it was caused by a sudden attack by the ninjas from Kirigakure Anbu."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the hole in Yue Guangxuan's chest and the faintly visible bandage inside, "It almost hurt his heart. It's very dangerous."
Yueguang Huandao nodded silently, feeling a little scared in his heart.
Then, he turned his gaze to Lei Luo and asked slightly hesitantly: "Who are you?"
"I am Raito Raizu, Hokage-sama." Leiluo lowered his head slightly and calmly answered Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.
It seems that he doesn't know himself, Lei Luo thought.
In this way, I can finally feel relieved... "Hokage-sama" must not be able to notice that this Lei Luo is no longer Pi Lei Luo.
Even though he has absorbed all the memories of Bingzu Leiluo, he is still worried that he will expose his flaws in front of some people who are familiar with "Bingzu Leiluo".
Behavior, speaking habits, values, ways of thinking... these things cannot be changed in a short time, and it is difficult to disguise everything well.
He didn't want to be suspected of being a spy by others.
What's more... the guy standing in front of him is a "shadow" from the Great Ninja Village, and he is also known for his erudition. Who knows if he will see something wrong.
Fortunately, as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not interested in getting to know a Chuunin with no background. He didn't even know Lei Luo's name.
"Your injuries are not serious." Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed the gap in Lei Luo's chest (cut by the beheading sword), sighed softly, and patted Lei Luo's shoulder.
"You two shouldn't be in the same team, right?"
Lei Luo and Yue Guangxuan looked at each other, and finally Yue Guangxuan took a step forward and explained the reason to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a low voice. Of course, it was the version Lei Luo told him.
After all, in Yueguang Xuandao's memory, he "teleported" to Lei Luo just after leaving the village, and he didn't see any of his teammates. He thought it was too ridiculous to say "amnesia" even if the Hokage would believe it.
.There was no other way, he could only accept Lei Luo's statement and tell the "truth" to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be in a hurry at the moment, so he asked Gekko Kaname to keep the story short and was unwilling to get entangled in these trivial matters. Regarding Gekko Kaname's experience before meeting Lei Luo, he was "unclear" and only thought that the other party was after losing his teammates.
Caused by sadness.
"...That's it. The reason why the Mist Ninja invaded our border is to snatch materials for use in the war with Iwagakure. This is the information Lei Luo obtained." Yueguang Xuandao is quite upright, and there is no
Taking credit for Morello's credit.
"Is that so..." Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. Some of the questions in his heart were solved with this piece of information, but what was left was full of anger. "Kirigakure is really brave, with Iwa
The Third Mizukage dares to tease us in Konoha even before the battle of Yin has ended, the Third Mizukage is really good..."
"Okay, I understand this matter. You did a good job." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something.
It is foreseeable that the fog ninja who have not withdrawn yet will be in bad luck, Lei Luo thought with gloating.
"Moeguang Huan said, remember an A-level mission." Sarutobi Hiruzen began to summarize. It was time to discuss merit and reward.
"As for Hiruzen Rairo..." Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, as if he was weighing something. "In view of your level and the risks you have endured, based on your achievements, I will record you as an S-level mission.
"
Is this an S-level mission?
Lei Luo was a little surprised when he heard the evaluation given by Sarutobi Hiruzen. He, the Hokage, was not very detailed, but he also knew the heavyweight of S-class mission representatives. He didn't think what he had done was why he received such a high evaluation.
?That piece of information doesn’t seem to be of much importance to him, right? Even if he knows that Kirigakure’s front against Iwagakure is tight, there’s nothing Konoha can do at this time, right?
Although there were many questions, Lei Luo didn't intend to ask them. First of all, Sarutobi Hiruzen would probably not answer his questions in this situation. Secondly, he had no interest in telling the truth.
Hiruzen Sarutobi caught the flash of confusion on Lei Luo's face, and a rare kind smile appeared on his stern face. "If I read correctly, the mark on your chest was caused by the decapitation sword, right?"
Lei Luo nodded slightly when he heard this.
"It's rare to be able to save one's life from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen at this age, Lei Luo."
Lei Luo smiled slightly awkwardly. This was indeed an oversight on his part. Logically speaking, he, a chuunin, would definitely die when he encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. His survival was a bit ruined. If he had known better, he would have changed his weapon.
The clothes are ready, there are so many corpses of Konoha ninjas around.
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Lei Luo smiling awkwardly, and thought that the child was ashamed of "escaping with his life", so he explained: "Lei Luo, the value of a ninja is determined by his death. But there are
At that time, it took more courage to live than to die. You saw your teammates being killed, but you still didn't act impulsively and endured the humiliation and brought back important information. This spirit of sacrifice for the mission makes me, the Hokage, admire me very much."
"Is it...?" Lei Luo felt that he should be a little more disappointed at this moment, so a sad color flashed across his face.
I pretended to think it was real.
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Lei Luo's shoulder again, "Let's go back and have a good rest this time. The rewards for the S-level mission will be settled when I come back."
"Well, okay, Hokage-sama." Lei Luo didn't worry about any rewards. In his opinion, there were too many things that he had to learn, master, and study at the moment, and he didn't want to take these mundane things to heart.
Seeing Lei Luo being so well-behaved, and hearing that the reward was postponed, there was no trace of reluctance on his face, making Sarutobi Hiruzen even more satisfied with Lei Luo.
"Bingzu Leiluo, I remember you, you two should go back to the village now."
"let's go!"
…
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen gradually disappearing with a large number of Konoha ninjas, Lei Luo turned his head, looked at Yue Guangxuan in confusion, and nodded his head with his finger: "Master Hokage and I... don't seem to be in the same place.
channel.”
What's going on with this inexplicable feeling?
Yue Guangxuandao sighed leisurely, "To be honest, judging from our interactions during this period, you really don't look like a boy of 16 or 17 at all."
