Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 222
In Lei Luo's view, the escape of the third generation of Raikage was only because the other party probably discovered his ability and acted rationally out of fear.

Under such circumstances, with the pride in Lei Luo's heart, he would not bother to say that he "defeats Lei Ying" or "Rai Ying is not his opponent at all".

After all, it is an indisputable fact that he cannot effectively break through Raikage's defense.

But even so, since Danzo didn't know the details of the fight between Lei Luo and the third generation of Raikage, he naturally widened his eyes, opened his mouth wide open, and made a gaffe expression in front of Lei Luo for the first time.

After being dumb for a few minutes, Danzo finally came to his senses. He first patted his chest lightly, took a deep breath, and coughed twice uncontrollably.

"Lei Luo..." Danzo's heart throbbed violently, but he was still trying his best to maintain a calm expression on the surface.

His eyes kept flickering, and he continued with a slightly trembling tone: "Where are you fighting against the third generation of Raikage?"

Danzo's question was quite beyond Lei Luo's expectations. He thought Danzo would ask him about the process of fighting Raikage, but he didn't expect that the other party still maintained a tacit understanding with him and did not touch this topic.

Thinking of this, Lei Luo pondered for a while, and only when he recalled what Namikaze Minato had said in front of him, did he reply: "In the territory of Tang Zhiguo."

"The Kingdom of Tang?" After silently repeating the name of the country, Danzo slowly exhaled and sighed, "Unfortunately, it's not within the territory of our Kingdom of Fire."

After finishing speaking, Danzo no longer entangled with this matter, but turned his head and shouted to the door: "Come here!"

As soon as the words fell, two Gennin walked in from the door. The mask on one of them gave Lei Luo a sense of familiarity. It should be his subordinate when he was performing missions in the Kingdom of Rain. I remember it was called Jiazi ?

Danzo pointed to Kushina, and told the two Genin: "Bring Uzumaki Kushina back to her residence, and at the same time send two more teams to protect her."

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiazi and another Genin bowed their heads to accept the order, and then turned their eyes to the other side, who was quite restless Kushina.

Seeing this, Jiu Xinnai, who wished to leave here immediately, hurriedly walked to Jiazi's side, but before she left, she turned her head and looked at Lei Luo again, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

From Kushina's point of view, in the situation just now, if Lei Luo hadn't spoken for her, Danzo would never have let this matter go so lightly, and he himself, this wave would definitely not be able to please him.

Although she obviously did nothing wrong, but facing an unreasonable Elder Konoha, a real high-level person, she obviously cannot judge her own right or wrong.

Therefore, since Lei Luo rescued her from the hands of the third generation of Raikage, until now he has spared no effort to excuse her, this kindness, Kushina vowed to keep it firmly in his heart.

A few minutes later, when the irrelevant people left, Danzo didn't delay anymore, and said bluntly to Lei Luo:
"Lei Luo, you did a good job this time. You not only took back the Nine-Tails Jinzhuli candidate, but also severely dampened the spirit of Yunyin Village."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Lei Luo is not surprised that the topic can progress so quickly to the stage of meritorious deeds and rewards.

Anyway, he and Danzo have been getting along like this all along, which is why he is willing to join the root and work hard for the other party.

But this time, Lei Luo didn't ask directly. He carefully considered his words before saying meaningfully:

"A few months ago, I had a chat with Orochimaru about something, to be precise, it was an experiment..."

Just when Lei Luo was halfway through speaking, Danzo had already reacted keenly, what exactly the other party wanted to mention.

Resolutely raised his hand to stop Lei Luo's words, Danzo narrowed his eyes and looked at the former, bluntly said: "I see, what you want is Mu Dun, right?"

"That's right." Lei Luo nodded slightly, squinting his eyes and looking at Danzo, waiting for the other party's answer.

Seeing that Lei Luo admitted that Danzo didn't speak for a while, he raised his head slightly and shook his neck. At the same time, he frowned and closed his eyes unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Danzo just looked at Lei Luo again, his face was a little ugly, and the corner of his mouth forced a smile and said:

"I didn't expect that Orochimaru would tell you about Mu Dun. It seems that you have a very good relationship with him..."

Regarding Danzo's slightly mocking words, Lei Luo just spread his hands noncommittally, and simply asked, "So?"

"Woodun Ninjutsu can be given to you, and you can also participate in the research and development process of the first generation of Hokage cells." Perhaps because he has weighed the pros and cons just now, Danzo has no nonsense at this moment, and decisively agrees.

But then, Danzo changed the subject, and immediately put forward another condition: "How valuable is the Mutun cell, I think you should also understand it clearly from Orochimaru, so I won't talk nonsense, so..."

"It's not enough to get this thing in exchange just to complete the task of recovering the candidate for Inchuriki."

"You still need to complete another task to offset the value of this."

Knowing that Danzo is now trying to bargain, Lei Luo is not surprised, or rather, he was secretly relieved.

After all, Danzo did not completely block the conversation, which means that he still has the opportunity to trade the cells between the columns into his hands through "regular channels".

Danzo's greed did not exceed Lei Luo's expectations. It would be really strange if the other party handed over the cells between the pillars to him so simply.

"I think the other mission you mentioned is to assassinate the third Mizukage, right?" Having said all this, Lei Luo naturally understood Danzo's plan and asked directly.

Danzo nodded: "Yes."

Although he had accepted this "price" in his heart, out of instinct, Lei Luo still planned to pay back the price:

"Don't you think that the head of the third generation of Mizukage is too cheap?"

As he said that, Lei Luo pretended to be upset, and complained to Danzo: "You have to know, this time I was chasing back Jinjuriki's candidate, but I almost lost my life fighting the third generation of Raikage."

"Two tasks and one, you just give such a small benefit, how can this be unreasonable?"

Hearing this, Danzo was unmoved, but sneered and cast his eyes on all parts of Lei Luo's body. After scanning up and down, he continued:

"I really can't see it, you have a little bit, and it looks like you are almost dead."

Speaking, Danzo pointed to Lei Luo's undamaged clothes after finishing, and said with an expression of "Are you kidding me": "There is no wound on the body, and even the clothes are not damaged at all, Lei Luo, you tell me……"

"Do you believe what you just said?"

Noticing the mocking tone in Danzo's mouth, Lei Luo couldn't help but thumped in his heart, secretly thinking that he had miscalculated.

In fact, he can't be blamed for this. First, he fought a fierce battle with the third generation of Raikage, then thought about how to deal with the information leak, then thought about subduing Namikaze Minato, and finally considered the next route to improve his strength.
