Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 226 Muddy Waters
"It was Orochimaru who told me." Without the slightest hesitation, and pretending to be very nonchalant, Lei Luo resolutely threw the blame directly on Orochimaru.

After finishing speaking, Lei Luo kept silent for the time being, and silently observed Danzo's expression:

After a few seconds of slowing down, Danzo's expression gradually changed from vigilant to stunned, and then to puzzled.

His expression changed several times, and in the end, Danzo didn't know what he had imagined, and the rest of his face was full of irrepressible anger.

"Hi Zhan..." Gritting his teeth fiercely, and slowly popping out such a name from his mouth, Danzo's face has turned into a hideous one.

But it was only for a short moment, perhaps realizing that Lei Luo was still watching, Danzo managed to adjust his mentality, but still asked in a very blunt tone: "What else did Orochimaru tell you about me?"

Taking in all the changes in Danzo's expression, Lei Luo smiled unconsciously, and then pretended to count with his fingers:

"Wood escape experiment, Lisixiang sealing technique, and some wind escape ninjutsu, there is nothing else."

In order to avoid being too irritating to Danzo, leading to self-defeating in the end, Lei Luo did not mention about the psychic beast of the nightmare.

There is no fuel to the fire, let's talk about the "glorious history" of the opponent's failure to compete for the position of Hokage with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Okay, okay..." Danzo seemed to be extremely angry, but he still suppressed his anger forcibly, but blushed and said to Lei Luo: "I can give you the four-element sealing technique, but..."

This "but" instantly brought Lei Luo to his senses, and he blurted out, "But what?"

"But this is a technique that kills everyone. As long as you use it, you will die!" Danzo sneered a few times, his smile was tinged with sarcasm, and he asked in a joke tone:
"I don't know this, did Orochimaru tell you?"

Hearing this, Lei Luo's complexion changed slightly, and he lost his voice and shouted, "To die together? How is this possible?"

"What Orochimaru told me is that Li Sixiang Sealing Technique is extremely fast, it is a very powerful range attack ninjutsu, and there is no risk in using it."

Maybe Lei Luo pretended to be similar, or maybe Danzo's thoughts at the moment were all focused on some obscure plots and tricks.

In short, Lei Luo's performance successfully deceived Danzo, making the latter think that Lei Luo really didn't know the essence of Li Sixiang's sealing technique.

Danzo closed his eyes, and his brain fell into a state of contemplation for a while.

When Lei Luo saw this, he didn't disturb the other party, but the corner of his mouth raised slightly inadvertently.

The reason for lying here is because Lei Luo couldn't explain the source of information about Li Sixiang's sealing technique.

But if it is said that Orochimaru told him, it is easy to arouse Danzo's suspicion, and let the other party use this to judge his true relationship with Orochimaru, and become wary of him and Orochimaru.

After all, it is undoubtedly taboo for the leader to have subordinates mingle with each other, not to mention one of the subordinates revealing the leader's secret intelligence to the other subordinate, which is simply intolerable!
Therefore, at this time, for the sake of the future, Lei Luo wanted to muddy the water, deliberately pretending not to know the essence of Li Sixiang's sealing technique.

In doing so, Lei Luo's intention is to portray the image of Orochimaru as having malicious intentions and other schemes, so as to make Danzo have some other associations, so as to finally achieve his goal of confusing his own motives.

Although, Lei Luo didn't plan to play Danzo at first, but the word "Sunshine" blurted out by the other party just now made him keenly aware of the opportunity:

After all, if you consider the problem from Danzo's point of view, Oshemaru is Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, so all the actions of the other party cannot be viewed in isolation.

So, what is the motivation for Orochimaru to tell Lei Luo the false information?

It must be that Hiruzaru Sarutobi confessed "certain words" to Orochimaru in secret in order to achieve his "unspoken" purpose, for example, to alienate, frame, or even use the hands of others to "eliminate dissidents" and so on.

This is Lei Luo's guess, and Danzo really thinks so:

Because the Hokage Department first exposed Lei Luo's true identity unruly, and then had some conflicts with his Danzo on the issue of the sea snake's body. (Oshemaru's secret action)
Coupled with yesterday, because of the kidnapping of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's alternate, and the quarrel with Zhuanju Xiaoharu, all kinds of conflicts have accumulated. At this moment, Danzo has already hated his old teammates to the extreme.

So, now, when Danzo sensed a faint conspiracy happening in front of his eyes, he almost didn't think about it, and he immediately thought that Hiruzaru Sarutobi was doing something.

With the help of Orochimaru's mouth, he leaked the information of his Danzang, and Lei Luo took the bait.

It can also use this to drive a wedge between him, Lei Luo, and Orochimaru.

Even, if Lei Luo obtained the Lisixiang sealing technique from other sources and used it recklessly, Danzo no longer dared to think about how serious the consequences of that situation would be.

The number one fighting force under his command, the number one fighting force at the root, may die on the spot directly!

Sarutobi's method of "killing people without seeing the knife" opened Danzo's eyes.

That's why he finally couldn't suppress his anger, and couldn't restrain himself from spitting out Hiruzaru Sarutobi's name.

But this just made Lei Luo realize the opportunity, and thoroughly confirmed the misunderstanding, not only picking himself up clean, but also muddying the water, so as to achieve his true purpose of seeking Li Sixiang sealing technique.

The blame was finally thrown on Sarutobi Hiruzen. To be honest, Lei Luo was a little surprised, but this was just right:

After all, Hiruzaru Sarutobi has been entangled with Iwanin outside the village recently, and has no time to go back to the village to confront Danzo face to face.

As time goes by, it is difficult to say whether the misunderstanding can be explained clearly.

Although it feels unlikely, Lei Luo is still looking forward to the day when Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen break up.

And this is another purpose of his lying.

Back to the moment, Danzo pondered for a full ten minutes before slowly opening his eyes and turning his gaze to the "at a loss" Lei Luo.

"What kind of ninjutsu is Lisixiang Sealing Technique, I have already told you."

"Do you still want it now?"

Lei Luo gritted his teeth hard, pretending to be unwilling, and hesitated: "Give it to me, anyway, it is a powerful ninjutsu. Maybe I can get some inspiration from it and develop other jutsu. .”

"This should also improve my strength."

"Okay." Simply spit out a word, Danzo did not hesitate, and replied decisively: "You come to me tomorrow morning, and I will give you the scroll of Risixiang Sealing Technique."

From Danzo's point of view, Lei Lu first showed his "sincerity" and revealed the fact that his attack power was not enough, and then he asked for Li Sixiang's sealing technique without any concealment, and his acting style was as frank as usual.

Even at the end, the other party's bewildered expression did not seem to be fake.

Therefore, Danzo judged that Lei Luo was "innocent", and did not know the "intrigue" between Sarutobi Hiruzen and himself.

And this is also the real reason why he finally decided to hand over the Lisixiang sealing technique to Lei Luo.

After all, the "external environment" is already so "bad", and Danzo doesn't want to make the inside become "dissociated", and decisively agreeing to Lei Luo's conditions is not only a kind of solicitation, but also a kind of "investment".

Because Danzo really wanted to see if Lei Luo could develop some powerful ninjutsu with the help of Risixiang's sealing technique, just like Lei Ying did back then.

So, the blame was as simple as that, and was pinned on Sarutobi Hiru's head and Hokage's head by the "tacit understanding" of both parties.
