Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 216 Solicitation
With Namikaze Minato's introduction to each other, the stiff atmosphere became a little more active, and Lei Luo gradually turned his attention to the red-haired girl in front of him, and unconsciously sized her up:

With a petite height of 1.2 meters three, long red hair hanging down to her waist, a traditional light yellow jacket draped over her shoulders, matched with light blue shorts, this outfit gives Kushina a sense of vigor and girliness.

On the face that still had a little bit of baby fat, a pair of dark blue eyes hung on it just right, depicting her face extremely attractively.

As for Uzumaki Kushina, the famous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the mother of the protagonist Uzumaki Naruto, Lei Luo naturally "has been admiring his name" for a long time.

It was beyond his expectations to be able to get acquainted with each other by chance during this mission.

After all, when he first took on this task, because he was thinking about other things, he really ignored the fact that the so-called "Rinjuriki candidate" was actually Kushina Uzumaki.

In fact, he only realized this situation after meeting Namikaze Minato by chance, and remembered this episode in time.

Now, while recalling the scenes about Kushina in the previous life anime, and comparing them with the real person in front of him, Lei Luo couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.

Just after the fight, it's good to have a beautiful woman dangling in front of his eyes, even if he has nothing wrong with Jiu Xinnai, but this does not prevent Lei Luo from using the other party to adjust his irritable state of mind.

Because of this, Lei Luo decided not to think about a series of troubles related to the third generation of Raikage, but calmed down, stretched out his hand unconsciously, and greeted Kushina with a smile:
"Hello."

When Lei Luo looked at Kushina, Kushina was actually looking at Lei Luo all the time, but compared to the former with calm eyes, the latter's mood was obviously not so calm.

In fact, when he saw Lei Luo for the first time and heard the other party's name from Namikaze Minato's mouth, Kushina had a vague guess about Lei Luo's identity.

Afterwards, the words of the third generation of Raikage undoubtedly verified her guess: Lei Luo is indeed the trump card combat force belonging to "that" secret department, and is also one of the top masters in Konoha Village - Jueying.

As for the appearance of a ninja of Jueying's level here, what exactly does it mean? Kushina also realized at this moment: This means that the village has never given up on her, and has never disliked her as an outsider.

Since he came to Konoha Village when he was a child, because of some encounters in the ninja school, Kushina has actually always had a feeling of rejection of this place where he has lived for a long time.

But now, within half a day after she was kidnapped by Yun Ninja, both Minato Namikaze and Lei Luo came to rescue her one after another.

The meaning behind this was immediately understood by Kushina: If the appearance of Namikaze Minato was because of the friendship between classmates at that time, it represented the bond she formed within Konoha.

Then the appearance of Lei Luo undoubtedly represents the position of Konoha as a whole towards her.

After all, with the opponent's strength and status, if it wasn't for the high-level voice...

Jiuxinna really couldn't think of any reason other than this reason, Lei Luo, who had never met him before, would come to rescue her, this little "outsider" who transferred from Uzumaki Village, and did not have any reason. Nonsense, fighting to the end with such a terrifying enemy as the third generation of Raikage.

After clarifying the causal relationship of all these, Kushina's long-standing depression unknowingly unraveled a lot, and even Lei Luo's previous "scary actions" in the battle were also consciously forgotten by her Lost.

"Hello."

She reached out her hand generously to shake Lei Luo. Although Jiu Xinnai felt that the way the other party greeted him was a bit weird, it didn't prevent her from having a good impression of Lei Luo from the bottom of her heart.

Of course, for Kushina, this kind of goodwill only stops at the level of saving grace, which is fundamentally different from the kind of goodwill between himself and Namikaze Minato.

On the other side, after Lei Luo shook hands with Kushina, he stopped paying attention to the other party and turned his attention back to Namikaze Minato:
"Minato." He greeted the other party first, and after Namikaze Minato cast his gaze over, Lei Luo then asked in a consulting tone:

"Would you mind talking alone?"

Sensing Lei Luo's solemn demeanor, Minato Namikaze quickly realized that the so-called "chat" the other party was talking about was probably not a trivial matter.

Giving Kushina a soothing look, Namikaze Minato quietly shook the former's palm, then turned around and seriously replied to Lei Luo: "No problem, Lei Luo-senpai."

A few minutes later, Kushina wisely found a place to rest under the shade of a tree not far away. In the same place, only Lei Luo and Namikaze Minato were left standing opposite each other.

Slightly glanced at the red figure below, Lei Luo withdrew his gaze, looked at Minato Namikaze with a slightly expectant look, and asked unabashedly: "Minato, are you interested in working under my hands?"

Hearing Lei Luo's question, Minato Namakaze was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that the first sentence the other party spoke was a blunt solicitation.

After a short contact with Lei Luo, Namikaze Minato has some understanding of the former's character, so it is not surprising that Lei Luo's words are straightforward.

But, to work under Lei Luo?

With Lei Luo's status and the strength to defeat the third generation of Raikage head-on, the weight of the other party's words is naturally completely different from that of others, and there is no room for Minato Namikaze not to think seriously.

Because of this, Namikaze Minato didn't give a hasty answer for a while, but changed the subject and said:
"Senior Lei Luo, before answering your question, please allow me to ask you a few questions first."

"Not sure if this is possible?"

Noticing Namikaze Minato's serious expression, it was obvious that this question was very important to him, Lei Luo was not in a hurry, and said directly: "You can ask."

Hearing Lei Luo's agreement, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but took a deep breath, as if calming down his tense mood. After a while, he raised his head, stared at Lei Luo intently and asked:

"First of all, the first question...Senior Lei Luo, you called me by my name the first time you saw me."

"I suppose we've never met before?"

Seeing that Lei Luo didn't deny it, but just nodded slightly, Namikaze Minato lowered his head and thought for a while, and then continued: "That is to say, you should have paid attention to me a long time ago, right?"

Namikaze Minato is undoubtedly thinking too much, Lei Luo has so many things to deal with every day.

He has so many ninjutsu to practice, and so many difficult enemies to find a way to kill, where does he have time to pay attention to some students in the ninja school?
Even if Minato Namikaze is wearing a forehead protector now, he is already a genuine genin, but if it wasn't for the chance encounter on this mission, Lei Luo really has no interest in inquiring about a genin.
