Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 24
At this moment, a large piebald python suddenly emerged from the soil behind Lei Luo, and quickly climbed up, wrapping around his body tightly.The python's ferocious mouth aimed at Lei Luo's cheek, spitting out the letter eeriely.

Lei Luo looked at the snake's head expressionlessly, and without struggling, he just asked his question: "Why does Orochimaru Kamijino frame me as a spy?"

"What about your evidence?"

Orochimaru approached Lei Luo slowly, and his head was naturally close to Lei Luo. The distance between the pair of cold snake pupils and Lei Luo's eyes was less than ten centimeters. "Mr. Lei Luo was not outstanding in the past, but in the year since you became a Chunin, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds."

"No, to be precise, it's only these two months. You have grown from an ordinary Chunin to a level stronger than the average Jōnin. This growth rate is really frightening."

Lei Luo still didn't react too much, his face remained calm, "So, what does this explain?"

"This means..." A sneer curled up at the corner of Dashewan's mouth. "Maybe you are no longer with Lei Luo, tell me! Who are you? Who sent you here?"

Lei Luo smiled indifferently, this was the second person who asked him "who" in recent days.For Orochimaru's sudden attack, although Lei Luo felt a little surprised, it was not that he had not considered this possibility.

As early as the moment he showed his strength, he had been prepared for the current scene, but he didn't expect that it would be Orochimaru who doubted himself first.

Moreover, the other party seemed to know his information very well.

With his previous status as a zhongnin, it shouldn't be worthwhile for a character like Orochimaru to spend energy investigating him.Since he showed his strength, it was only a few hours before and after, and it was impossible for Orochimaru to investigate him so clearly in such a short period of time.

In other words, someone was following him behind the scenes and passed information about him to Orochimaru.The things behind this made Lei Luo think deeply.In contrast, the temptation of Orochimaru in front of him seems insignificant.

"Naturally, I'm Konoha Chunin and Lei Luo." Lei Luo spoke slowly, answering Orochimaru's question. "I don't think there's anything suspicious about me."

"First of all, if I were a spy from a foreign village, I wouldn't have acted decisively on the battlefield just now. Secondly, everyone may have their own unique personal encounters. The reason why you don't understand is that you haven't experienced it yet."

Orochimaru saw Lei Luo talking without panic, squinted those murderous vertical pupils, pointed out a "loophole" in Lei Luo's words and said: "Your situation was extremely bad at the time, who knew that your shot was a Wasn't it caused by Yu Ninja's persecution? Maybe you just don't want to die."

Lei Luo sighed, and said sarcastically: "It seems that Orochimaru Kamijino knows that I have the ability to perceive? There is no need to cover up the village's plan..."

Orochimaru's face changed slightly, unexpectedly, Lei Luo had already had a clear understanding of the situation. From this point of view... the opponent must not be forced to reveal his strength in desperation, but had "premeditated" and wanted to "show" well.

There is nothing wrong with this approach.

But thinking of the task entrusted to him by the higher-ups, Orochimaru did not stop probing Lei Luo. "Parazulei Luo, have you noticed where your biggest mistake is?" Dashemaru looked confident in winning, "You are too calm, and this is not the attitude that normal people should have when facing grievances. "

It's not over yet!
A rage surged up in Lei Luo's heart, and he impatiently made a face, and said with a cold snort: "I don't believe this, I don't believe that either. Orochimaru, do you really think you're sure of me?"

As the words fell, Lei Luo's eyes flickered with a faint gray light, and the huge spiritual power in his mind turned into a torrent, rushing towards Orochimaru.

"untie!"

Kacha Kacha... The air gradually filled with cracks, and with a loud bang, the world in front of me suddenly shattered.

"This is..." Dashewan's face changed suddenly, and he felt an unusual breath.

In the next second, the positions of Lei Luo and Orochimaru returned to the way they had just met. Orochimaru was still leaning against the tree, and the python on Lei Luo's body had disappeared.

It turned out that Orochimaru's sudden attack just now, and the scheming question and answer between the two sides, were nothing more than an illusion that Orochimaru had cast on Lei Luo.

At the beginning, Lei Luo really didn't realize when he was hit by Orochimaru's illusion, but his keen mental perception quickly noticed the abnormality.Because he possessed the mountain clan's ability to break the illusion, Lei Luo was not in a hurry to break the illusion, but wanted to see what medicine was sold in the big snake pill gourd first.

Until Orochimaru refused to give up and made trouble for no reason.

Lei Luo didn't want to talk nonsense, and decisively released the illusion on his body.

And during this process, because he was worried that Orochimaru would turn his back on him, and because he was angry, Lei Luo unconsciously activated a little power of time.

Regardless of whether it is a fight or a talk, Lei Luo has enough confidence not to be exposed: if the triple speed is turned on, he feels that he is sure to kill the Orochimaru who is still a little immature now. If he does not fight, Orochimaru itself is not A perceiving ninja, it is impossible to perceive his hidden secrets.

The atmosphere quieted down briefly during the confrontation between the two sides.

The muffled thunder in the sky was still ringing intermittently, and a little rain dripped down, wetting the clothes of the two of them.

In the end, Orochimaru was the first to speak, breaking the silence: "It's so easy to break my illusion, Lei Luo-jun, you really are not easy."

Orochimaru's tone seemed to have returned to its original leisurely tone, only the solemnity flashed in his eyes, which showed that his mood was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

At that moment, Orochimaru felt a strong threat, which aroused his vigilance.

But Lei Luo didn't notice the abnormality of Orochimaru, and still thought about countermeasures on his own.

Orochimaru's title of Sannin was obtained when Konoha withdrew from the battlefield of the Land of Rain, which was also the period of sublimation of his strength.

It has been less than a year since the second ninja war started, and Orochimaru is just a jonin with outstanding potential. The only thing special about him now is that he is the apprentice of the third Hokage.

As for Lei Luo's normal strength, there are huge spiritual power caused by time travel, a sudden increase in the amount of chakra, a large amount of ninjutsu experience accumulated under high-speed practice, and the tenacity and sharpness honed by countless battles in the previous life. intuition.

Even though Orochimaru is much stronger than Lei Luo, the "new Jonin", it's not that easy to take Lei Luo down easily.

At least a small illusion can never help him.

And if you really want to do it, Orochimaru will violate the meaning of the high-level.After all, the higher-ups only suspected Lei Luo without any real evidence. If the ninjas from the same village rashly fought, the nature would change.

In the final analysis, Orochimaru's task is just to test Lei Luo.

'Is it because of the bright moonlight? Lei Luo understood, after all, Yueguang Xuandao's amnesia looked weird, and he was the only witness at the time, so it was inevitable to be suspected.

only……

"Oshemaru Jominin, is it Hokage-sama's intention to use the illusion on me?" Lei Luo was indifferent to Orochimaru's praise, he asked in a serious tone with no expression on his face.

"You seem to know something." Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "It's not Sarutobi-sensei, but other high-level instructions. But..."

Orochimaru put on an expression of great interest, looked Lei Luo up and down and said, "Although I didn't gain much, I have a lot of interest in you, Lei Luo-jun."

With Orochimaru's pride and pride, he shouldn't lie about such trivial matters.

If it wasn't Hokage, who could it be?Danzo?
In Lei Luo's impression, it seems that besides Sarutobi Hiruzen, the only senior Konoha who can instruct to move Orochimaru is Shimura Danzo.

And dare to let Orochimaru cast illusions on the ninjas of the same village so unscrupulously, which is very Danzo's style: there is no wrong kill, never let go.

After he figured it out, Lei Luo wasn't too worried: as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi was not biting him to death, it would be fine. After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi is currently the only "channel" that can stably obtain ninjutsu information, and he doesn't want to do that. Give up long ago.

Lei Luo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but said calmly: "I don't know anything, and I don't want to know. Orochimaru Jami, if there is nothing else, I will go first."

Orochimaru glanced at Lei Luo in surprise, "You don't seem to be angry about what happened just now?"

Lei Luo pretended to be dazed and looked around: "What happened? What happened just now?"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Orochimaru to respond, and left on his own.

Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, and then gradually realized Lei Luo's meaning: the other party didn't want to make this matter a big deal.

Through the question and answer in the illusion just now, Orochimaru judged that Lei Luo should not be a spy from other villages.

In that case, it is morally untenable for him to use illusion on the ninja of the same village without authorization. If Lei Luo goes back and makes a fuss, neither he nor Danzo will feel good. After all, this matter was done without the knowledge of Hokage. of.

Lei Luo's pretentiousness just now should be to convey a message: he does not want to entangle with Dashewan and the people behind it, so the matter will be exposed like this.

Orochimaru didn't understand why Lei Luo, a 17-year-old young man, was so generous after being angry, but he knew: he left a handle in Lei Luo's hands.

Orochimaru actually didn't care about the existence of this handle, but he became more and more interested in Lei Luo: the strength is not weak, but he has been silent (he still thinks that Lei Luo started to hide his strength very early); He is very small, but his personality is extremely calm; the most important thing is that he can't understand the real purpose of Lei Luo's various actions.

So, he moved lightly and followed Lei Luo.

Orochimaru didn't have any clear purpose, and he walked with Lei Luo just because he still wanted to talk to Lei Luo.Excluding the mission factor, Orochimaru thinks Lei Luo's personality is also very interesting.
