Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 221 The anger

The time for Lei Luo and his party to return to the village was much longer than the time for him and Namikaze Minato to come here.

It was around the afternoon when the sun set that they managed to reach the outside of Muye Village.

The reason why it was so slow was mainly because there was a slow Kushina in the team. In order to wait for her, Lei Luo and Namikaze Minato were so slow.

It is worth mentioning that on the way back, Lei Luo did not see the root ninja of the Inuzuka clan who came out with him, that is, Wu Chou.

This made him feel a little strange. For a moment, he just thought that the other party had gone back, so he didn't pay any more attention.

In the following time, Lei Luo first told Namikaze Minato to calm down and practice hard, so as to master the technique of flying thunder god as soon as possible.

Next, Lei Luo pulled Kushina, regardless of the latter's reluctance with Namikaze Minato, and brought the "precious" Nine-Tails Jinchuriki candidate to the root base, ready to hand over to Danzo .

In the cold and damp underground space, Lei Luo caught a few wandering Genin and asked around, and soon found out the location of Danzo.

Walking into a wooden living room with a good environment, Lei Luo immediately saw Danzo sitting cross-legged on the floor in the center, leaning leisurely against a low table, and quietly making tea.

The embers were slowly burning the bottom of the purple sand teapot, and a curl of white mist emerged, filling the surrounding space, and the scent of tea poured into Lei Luo's nose, making him frown slightly.

His affection, Lei Luo, fought to the death with the third generation of Raikage outside, but the old guy Danzo hid here and enjoyed it. Looking at the other party's expression, let alone worried, he didn't even show a little bit of nervousness.

This guy Danzo... the Elder Konoha's seat is really comfortable.

"I am back."

After saying something indifferently, Lei Luo straightened down and sat down across from Danzo unceremoniously. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, slightly soaking his dry throat.

On the other side, Danzo didn't care about Lei Luo's rude behavior. He carefully put down the tea set in his hand, and put a delicate wooden shovel, accompanied by the full tea in it, all aside.

After all this was done, Danzo raised his head. He glanced expressionlessly at Lei Luo, who kept lifting the teapot to pour water for himself.

After that, without saying anything, Danzo turned his head directly, and cast his gaze on Kushina who was standing aside with an embarrassed face.

"Uzumaki Kushina..."

After pondering for a while, Danzo raised his left hand, leaned his elbow on the low table, lightly touched his chin with the back of his hand, half-closed one eye and stared at Kushina and said:

"From yesterday afternoon until now, tell me all about how you were kidnapped by Yun Nin."

Maybe it was because of the majestic aura of the black-robed old man in front of him, or maybe it was because the surrounding environment was too oppressive. For a moment, Kushina felt his whole body trembling slightly, but his mouth was so nervous that he couldn't speak at all.

No matter how "invincible" she is in the ninja school, she has all kinds of nicknames that make her classmates fear, but after all, Kushina is only a 12-year-old girl at this time.

When confronting this cold and powerful Elder Konoha, Kushina would naturally feel afraid, so she took a long time before uttering a word: "I..."

"I" for a while, but did not follow up with any words. Kushina's performance undoubtedly made Danzo deeply impatient, and he couldn't help but knocked heavily on the table.

Boom!
Lei Luo, who had been watching silently by the side, couldn't help it when he saw this. He first put down the half-drunk teapot in his hand, and then said directly to Danzo:

"If you have anything to say, you can just ask me. It's thanks to you that you can get angry with such a young child."

"child?"

Hearing this, Danzo turned his head to the side, glanced at Lei Luo coldly, his face darkened, and he suppressed his anger forcibly and said:
"Do you know how much pressure Uzumaki Kushina's disappearance put on me in front of Mito-sama?"

"She is already a ninja, and she has a heavy responsibility, she is not a child!"

Noticing that the anger on Danzo's face did not appear to be feigned, Lei Luo was greatly surprised. He thought for a while, and soon realized:

Danzo this time, I'm afraid it wasn't because of the kidnapping of Kushina by Kumo Shinobi that he suffocated in front of "some people", that's why his emotions are a little out of control now.

This feeling is a bit like an excuse, or it can be said to be a kind of anger.

Speaking of it, the reason for my mission seems to be to complete the order given by Danzo, but... why is it Danzo?

Given the importance of Nine Tails and Nine Tails Jinchuriki, normally speaking, members of the Naruto department should be responsible for its security work.

But now it seems that Danzo was the first high-level person who discovered Kushina's disappearance, and Danzo was the one who summoned himself urgently and gave orders to him. What does this mean?

Thinking of this, Lei Luo couldn't help but recall:
I remember that yesterday afternoon, at the edge of the death forest, at the scene of Kushina's disappearance, I only saw Danzo, a senior executive, and no other senior executives appeared.

This phenomenon is obviously very unusual.

Could it be that Danzo has already inserted his influence into matters related to Kyuubi?

Sarutobi Hiruzen and all the high-level members of the Hokage department would tolerate this situation?

It seems that in Danzo, at the top of Konoha's power, there is something that I don't know, and it has been quietly developing...

Many thoughts flashed through Lei Luo's mind quickly. He looked at Danzo calmly, but saw that the latter was still staring at him angrily, as if waiting for his answer.

"The enemy who kidnapped Kushina is the third generation of Raikage." Without any nonsense, Lei Luo went straight to the point, ignoring Danzo's astonished expression, and continued on his own:

"I defeated Raikage and rescued Uzumaki Kushina. This is how this mission went."

As soon as Lei Luo finished speaking, Danzo stood up with a huff, staring at the former with his eyes, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Raikage?!"

"How did Raikage participate in this kind of mission? Could it be that the information about Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was leaked?"

"Damn Yunyin Village..."

As he said that, Danzo paced around twice impatiently. After a while, he just realized that he looked at Lei Luo suspiciously and asked, "Wait a minute..."

"Did you just say that you defeated Lei Ying?"

"Strictly speaking, I just beat that guy away and took off his arm." Lei Luo didn't exaggerate his victory, he spread his hands and replied nonchalantly.

"no big deal."
