Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 27 Leaving
Lei Luo didn't know that Orochimaru had seen a little bit of his details, otherwise, with his character, even if he didn't kill Orochimaru, he would find a way to threaten and control him.But Orochimaru is no better than Yuko, will he compromise with him?
There is no real conflict, and no one knows what the outcome will be.

After Lei Luo and Orochimaru parted, they approached the team leader Jonin who had met once before, and asked about the next arrangement.

"The local ninjas stationed in the Land of Rain have already started receiving supplies. We can leave after they finish their work." The team leader Jonin is a fat middle-aged man with a relaxed expression on his face when he spoke. Lei Luo guessed this The guy probably knows the inside story of this mission.

Lei Luo heard that the fat man was from the Qiudao clan, so he didn't bother to remember the specific name.When he heard the fat man say that the mission was completed, he stopped pestering him and went to find a place to rest on his own.

Finding a big leafy tree as a place to shelter from the rain, Lei Luo lay flat on the dry grass, and slowly closed his eyes.

At this point, Lei Luo was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief: this battle did not use countercurrent recovery, so after the chakra was exhausted, his body was very tired. Can't wait to find a place to sleep right away.

Soon, Lei Luo fell asleep, and even the thunder rolling in the sky and the raindrops around him couldn't wake him up.

Several hours later, the team was ready to return.

When we came, there were six teams with 24 people.When I went back, there were only three teams left, less than ten people.

Although the war has brought irrepressible pain, life is still going on.Having figured this out, Aokilian and Zuojing Naoko temporarily let go of the sadness of their friend's sacrifice, packed up their mood and prepared to return to the village...then they found out that their captain was not in the returning team.

After some searching, the two finally found Lei Luo who had fallen asleep under a tree.

"Really, why are you still sleeping!" Naoko Zuojing complained impatiently.She still has resentment towards Lei Luo, but it is not as angry as it was at the beginning, maybe Aokilian's comfort has played a role.

"Captain Lei Luo." Qing Mulian bent down and pushed Lei Luo. "Please wake up, we should go back."

"Eh..." Lei Luo opened his sleepy eyes, and Aoki Ren's slightly blurred face gradually appeared in his vision. "Are you leaving? Wait for me for a while..."

Lei Luo leaned on the ground, slowly got up, stretched after getting up, and then yawned several times. "Uh... okay, let's go."

After walking a few steps forward, the raindrops instantly wet Lei Luo's body.But he didn't take it seriously, instead he raised his head and closed his eyes slightly, feeling the refreshing pleasure brought by the cool rain.

Consciousness gradually returned, and Lei Luo just walked in the rain like this, walking forward on his own, while waving without looking back. "Come here, two of you, I have something to tell you."

Aoki Ren and Saoi Naoko looked at each other, and followed quickly.

"After this trip back to the village, our team will probably be disbanded." Lei Luo stretched out his hand, motioning for Aokilian and Saoi Naoko, who were hesitant to speak, to listen to him. "I will apply to be transferred to Anbu. With my strength, I believe Hokage-sama will not refuse."

Naoko Zuojing blurted out, "Why?"

"Why..." Lei Luo muttered to himself, a look of confusion crossed his face. "I have thought about it for a long time, but I still feel that my strength is growing too slowly. Joining Anbu may be the path I am destined to take."

"Since the last mission, I thought I was already very strong. But if I could be stronger and end the battle as soon as possible, wouldn't Fujiwara Satoshi not die?"

"You who have not protected your companions are weak, but I who have not protected everyone... are still weak."

Qing Mulian opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seeing Lei Luo's expression, he finally suppressed the words in his stomach.

Lei Luo shook his head and said with emotion: "In the era of war, life is like nothing... If you want to live well, you can only try to become stronger. This is not only true for you, but also for me."

After the words fell, Lei Luo was silent for a while, giving them time to digest.I believe that his improvisation will definitely make these two inexperienced children feel that they have deepened their "understanding" of him.

Lei Luo is not indifferent to Orochimaru's proposal, the other party's words are not unreasonable, Anbu's mission channel is indeed helpful for his development.

That being the case, Lei Luo decided to join Anbu as soon as possible.

After all, ordinary tasks are just a waste of time for him.

Take this B-level mission as an example. If it wasn't for the village's strategy to lure the snake out of the hole, the journey would have been smooth and smooth.At that time, Lei Luo will neither have the opportunity to attack the ninjas in the same village to obtain ninjutsu resources, nor will he make great contributions to obtain capital, and even the time to speed up his practice will be wasted meaninglessly.

Three days wasted in vain was unbearable to him.A short mission has already made him see the "truth" of the so-called low-level missions.To be honest, no matter who planned this operation, Lei Luo would like to thank that person, at least he didn't make his trip in vain.

But Lei Luo has completely hated this kind of ninja game like playing house. He is eager to become stronger, eager to obtain resources, and eager to show his true strength and fight against powerful enemies.Instead of leading a group of ninjas, you have to hide them all the time when you are a nanny, and you end up getting a bunch of meaningless rewards.

So... After the silence, it was farewell.

"That's it, I'll go first. Don't forget to re-apply with Hokage-sama for the captain after you go back." Before the words fell, Lei Luo had cast the instant body technique and disappeared in place, leaving only a lingering voice: "Come on, you two, we will meet again if we are destined."

Aoki Ren and Saoi Naoko looked at each other, the silence lasted for a long time.The heavy rain was pouring down, and the clothes were completely soaked, but the coldness of the body still couldn't cover up the melancholy in the heart.

"Captain Lei Luo is still worried about Zhi's death after all, he is not as calm as he appears on the surface. He... he really still cares about us." From this, the image Lei Luo left in their hearts also added a touch of warmth.

And this is exactly what Lei Luo wants to achieve.

Although Lei Luo was not on the same side as them, he didn't intend to spend more time on these two ninjas.But that doesn't mean he'll ignore them completely.

The earnest and kind temptation to Aokilian and Zuojing Naoko is an excuse for his plan, an excuse that allows him to enter Anbu reasonably.

He wants to use the mouths of these two people to tell Hiruzaru Sarutobi his "mental journey" so that he can be "politically correct" and dispel Hokage's doubts.

A person who cares about his companions is always more likely to gain the trust of others than an indifferent person.

The raindrops fell on the body, and were brought out in strings of slender water lines.The body is surrounded by wind attribute chakra, which dispels slightly humid air.

Under the dark sky, the scene in front of Lei Luo's eyes was distorted into groups of blurred shadows.

Lei Luo casually leaped across the forest at double speed, drawing afterimages.

After leaving the main force, he is going to do two things:
One is to find a place to practice various spiritual mysteries of the mountain clan, especially the memory-peeping technique, which must be mastered as soon as possible, which is very important for his next plan.

The second is to catch a few wandering ninjas and experiment with the effect of the power of time on other people.

There are no other ninjas in the aquatic village of the country of tea except Yuko, and Yuko obviously can't use it for experiments.

And there are many Konoha ninja clans, and the functions of secret arts are even more diverse, especially there is no lack of tracking and searching, and arresting people rashly may lead to exposure.

When going back and forth between Konoha and Shuisheng Village, he didn't have much time to catch ninjas.

Under the interference of various factors, this experiment was delayed by him for a long time.

Now that he finally had a chance, Lei Luo couldn't wait.As for whether the "disappearance" of this period of time will cause any hidden dangers, Lei Luo is not worried at all.

It took three days for the team to set off from the village. Excluding the time spent on escorting supplies, it would have taken a day or two to complete this section of the journey.

But at Lei Luo's three times speed, it may take less than 10 minutes to return to Konoha.As long as he estimated the time well, he might be able to go back ahead of the big troops after finishing his work.During this period of "disappearance", others will only think that he is on his way.

Speaking of which, the state of triple speed has never been used in battle.Lei Luo was quite ashamed of this. Such a powerful ability has been used by him to hurry, and there is indeed a feeling of being cast in the dark.

After a few 10 minutes, Lei Luo's slightly closed eyes widened suddenly, and his feet slowed down slightly.Just now, he sensed the reactions of several unfamiliar chakras nearby.

Judging by the strength, it should be at the level of Zhongren.

But Lei Luo doesn't intend to be "picky eaters".

He swallowed, and touched it quietly.
