Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 125 Conspiracy
"The Book of Seals?" Kato Duan gave Lei Luo a strange look, and then seemed to be recalling something, and said to himself: "In the history of our family, there seems to be no record of submitting the art of spiritualization to the village."

"This technique has always been passed down by word of mouth in our Kato family, so there should be no possibility of it being leaked... right?" Kato Duan's face was a little embarrassed, the corners of his mouth were slightly grinning, and the last word had a long tone.

There was a moment of silence in the field, Lei Luo's head was lowered, and the bangs on his forehead inadvertently covered his eyes, so that the other two could not notice the change in his eyes.

"So this is ah."

Sighing slightly, Lei Luo slowly stretched out his palm and rubbed his forehead, while the fingers of the other hand tapped the table lightly, as if there was some troubled problem lingering in his mind.

Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo calmly, turned his head and said to Kato Duan: "Is it true that you can't teach Lei Luo? It's just a ninjutsu, and you don't want all the inheritance of your family. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"You don't know..." The wry smile on Kato Duan's face was lingering, obviously this decision was also very important to him, and it was definitely not a one-shot decision.

After all, Kato Duan was 1 people unwilling to offend Lei Luo.

But there are some things, you can’t do whatever you want, you must have a bottom line.

"Spiritualization is the core of our Kato family's series of soul secret arts. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation of inheritance."

As Kato Duan explained, he glanced at Leiluo from the corner of his eye, but the latter seemed to have not heard, and still sat there with his head down.

Only the surface of the table, the fingertips that kept rising and falling, proved that Lei Luo seemed to be thinking about something.

In desperation, Kato Duan had no choice but to tell the whole truth: "The art of spiritualization was invented by my great-grandfather by accident. There are too many secrets involved in it, and it is really difficult for me to reveal it."

"What's more, apart from our family members, if foreigners use it, they may encounter serious hidden dangers. If they are unlucky, their lives may be endangered."

When he said this, Kato's face became very serious, and there was a hint of warning in his words, obviously he was not joking.

"Besides..." Kato Dan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lei Luo seriously, and said sincerely: "Lei Luo, you are one of the few top combat forces in Konoha, I really don't want any accidents for you."

After saying that, Kato straightened his back unconsciously, and looked at Lei Luo without blinking, waiting for the latter's reaction intently.

Lei Luo raised his head when he heard the words, and the movement of his hands stopped. The eyes of the two sides collided, and some information seemed to converge invisibly, which made Lei Luo frown slightly.

The sincerity and firmness in Kato Duan's eyes did not seem to be fake, which made Lei Luo feel a little headache. First, the deal was probably forfeit.

Second... the technique of spiritualization may really be a little tricky, not as easy to master as ordinary forbidden techniques, Lei Luo didn't know what would happen if he practiced it forcibly.

After all, Lei Luo's countercurrent can only reverse the time of his body, and it is not yet known whether it can affect the soul.

Although he can recall the memories of others, Lei Luo, who lacks the means of observation, does not know whether this is related to the soul.

It's just... Although there are many unknowns, Lei Luo still does not intend to give up, just because the art of spiritualization is a rare ninjutsu that is related to the soul and spirit.

And the improvement of mental power may mean the next evolution of the power of time, which means that he is likely to reawaken some powerful derivative abilities.

Even if there is only a slight possibility of success, Lei Luo will try his best to fight for it.

After all, the thing in this world is: if you do it, you may succeed or you may fail.

But if you don't do it, you're bound to fail.

So, Lei Luo spoke up, and he didn't express any opinion on Kato's concern about him, but asked with a slightly regretful attitude: "Really don't think about it anymore?"

When he asked this question, Lei Luo's expression didn't change. At least from the outside, there was no sense of frustration that he hadn't achieved his goal.

Kato decided that Lei Luo had given up on asking for the Spiritualization Technique, and his current attitude should be just because he didn't want to lose face, so he resolutely refused:
"No."

After finishing speaking, Kato Dan smiled awkwardly again, "I'm sorry, Lei Luo, I let you down."

"It's nothing." Lei Luo waved his hand, still maintaining his proper demeanor and smiling, "Although it won't work this time, we know each other anyway, no."

"I hope we can cooperate next time." Lei Luo stood up and leaned forward slightly, reaching out his hand across the table.

When Kato Duan saw this, he quickly reached out to shake Lei Luo's hand, but he didn't feel at all that some unknown power flowed into Lei Luo's body through Lei Luo's palm, and quietly lurked down.

After Yuko, the second coordinates were set up by Lei Luo, and Kato's position would be invisible. Even if the opponent continued to use specific means to block the perception ability, they still couldn't escape Lei Luo's search.

Before it is activated, there is no way to observe it with the existing ninja methods, even the possibility of sensing it is almost impossible.

In addition to the role of coordinates, that wisp of time power is also a "bomb".

It can stimulate deceleration at critical moments, providing a solid layer of insurance for the implementation of Lei Luo's next plan.

Besides... Looking at Kato's hearty smile, he seemed to be happy that he had made another friend. Lei Luo didn't think that Kato would be aware of his plot against him.

The atmosphere in the arena, just like the fake smile on Lei Luo's face, was perfect and harmonious.

Lei Luo estimated that if he made a sudden move at this time, the success rate should be at least [-]%.

But this is a camp, and Kato Duan and Orochimaru came to him in a big way. There must have been many witnesses in the process. Lei Luo didn't want to be honest, so he endured it for the time being.

"Goodbye, Lei Luo, Orochimaru."

"Ah."

"Goodbye, off."

Kato Duan's back gradually disappeared from Lei Luo's field of vision, and a few minutes later, when the other party's figure disappeared completely, Lei Luo withdrew his smile and regained his calm.

Orochimaru didn't leave, he stayed after sending Kato off, and then sat back in his original position and poured himself a cup of tea.

At this time, Orochimaru was drinking tea while looking at Lei Luo's back with an interested expression, but he was not in a hurry to talk to the latter.

Lei Luo just stood quietly at the door, looking out of the camp, the rolling mountains and forests in the distance, ignoring Orochimaru's intentions.

Lei Luo's eyes looked calm on the surface, as if he was just a bored traveler admiring the beauty of nature.

But if others look carefully, they will find the complex emotions hidden in his eyes.

Inside, there is melancholy, greed, determination, and a trace of deep-hidden hesitation.
