Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 287 Patriarch
Including Uzumaki, many Uzumaki clansmen surrounding Lei Luo on the top of the city hurriedly got out of their way, waiting respectfully for their patriarch to arrive here.

Lei Luo looked up and quickly sized up the head of the Uzumaki clan: this is an old man over fifty years old, his hair color is different from that of ordinary Uzumaki clan members, not red, but an old white color .

The old man's face was covered with mottled wrinkles, but his expression was rather calm and prestige.

He was wearing a red armor with a rather retro style, and he walked towards Lei Luo with strides. His bloodshot eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Lei Luo.

Judging from the old man's subtle movements, Lei Luo estimated that the whirlpool patriarch hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Although the other party's demeanor was trying to maintain a serious look, the exhaustion that was almost indelible still reflected the true state of his body and spirit.

Stopping half a meter away from Lei Luo, the Uzumaki patriarch took a deep breath, as if to relieve his exhausted spirit, and then asked Lei Luo directly:

"Konoha's reinforcements?"

Lei Luo nodded and replied, "Exactly."

"only you?"

Lei Luo raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle: "That's right."

Hearing this, the Uzumaki patriarch raised his hand expressionlessly, rubbed his face hard, and then scratched the top of his head vigorously, causing a few strands of hair to fall down.

After finishing these actions, he let out a long breath and said in an extremely calm tone: "Ninja of Konoha, I am very glad to see you come to help."

"But..." Pointing to the seemingly endless fog ninjas outside the city wall in the distance, the Uzumaki patriarch said lightly:
"You have also seen the number of enemies, if there is only one person..."

"Unless you are alive in Qianshou Zhujian, otherwise, no matter how strong you are, it will not help our family's current severe situation."

Saying that, the whirlpool patriarch raised his head abruptly, and turned his gaze to the sky: at this moment, a tailed beast jade passed over everyone's heads and flew straight to the central area of ​​the city. Soon, a golden light appeared...

boom!
The billowing wind blew in the direction of everyone, making everyone present a little unsteady.

The head of Uzumaki slightly raised his hand to protect his face, he glanced around the city unmoved, and stopped his gaze for a while at another large pit that appeared before turning around, and continued to Lei Luo:

"Did you see that? Kirigakure is already crazy. In this situation, even Konoha's full support for our clan will be powerless. Are you alone?"

"Ha ha."

The face of the Uzumaki patriarch was very calm, and even the laughter seemed weak. Lei Luo felt that the other party was not so much mocking him, but rather giving up on himself.

Facing such a situation, Lei Luo didn't mean to talk nonsense at all. He looked up at the central area of ​​the city, pointed at the well-preserved buildings, and said word by word:

"Take me there, and I can help you solve your problems."

Seeing that the whirlpool patriarch squinted his eyes and stared at him, the scrutiny and vigilance in his eyes was almost condensed into reality, but Lei Luo also turned his head back, looked at him without blinking, and added another sentence in his mouth:
"I don't have so much time to talk nonsense with you, trust me, if you don't want to die, just lead the way."

At this moment, the eyes of the two sides met for a short time, and under the influence of Qi, it seemed that there was some kind of invisible information conveyed in it.

Finally, after more than ten seconds, the whirlpool patriarch took the initiative to look away. He seemed to be more awake, and the vigilant expression on his face seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't know what he read in Lei Luo's eyes.

"No matter what you plan to do..." After pondering for a while, the whirlpool patriarch slowly turned around, leaving Lei Luo with a trace of his back, and continued without looking back:
"If your actions destroy the operation of the Vajra Formation, then everyone, whether it is our Uzumaki clan or yourself, will undoubtedly die."

"I hope you understand that."

Hearing this, Lei Luo didn't make any answer, but there was a sneer on his face, as if he was unhappy that the Uzumaki clan leader didn't trust him.

Although the whirlpool patriarch didn't look back, he seemed to have a panoramic view of Lei Luo's changes in expression. He sighed softly, and then didn't say anything more, but waved behind him.

"follow me."

As soon as the words fell, the head of the whirlpool clan jumped down from the top of the city, and quickly moved forward on the ruins inside the whirlpool village, rushing towards the central building complex without stopping.

Seeing this, Lei Luo also followed in the footsteps of the whirlpool patriarch, and also jumped down the city wall. The double speed was activated instantly, and he caught up with the opponent in a few steps.

"I have a question..." Regardless of the surprised expression of the whirlpool patriarch, Lei Luo asked by himself:
"Why didn't Kirigakure Jinchuriki bomb your walls to cooperate with the force of the Kirinin army, but chose to pour all the firepower into your village?"

"Is there something hidden here?"

"Wall?" The whirlpool patriarch smiled disdainfully, and his gray beard trembled violently. He replied in a mocking tone:
"That's because Wuyin Village has suffered from it, so it chose the current attack method."

As he said that, the head of the whirlpool explained a little: "My family's city wall has been passed down for hundreds of years, it's not as simple as you imagine, young man."

After the words fell, without waiting for Lei Luo to reply, the head of the whirlpool glanced at the dark city wall faintly visible in the distance, and sighed:
"If it weren't for this surrounding wall and the existence of the Vajra Formation, perhaps this place would have been breached by Wuyin long ago?"

"Really..." Following the sight of the whirlpool patriarch, he looked at the pieces of the city walls in the distance. Lei Luo then passed this topic, and then asked:

"What is the Vajra Formation?"

Perhaps it was Lei Luo's continuous questions that finally annoyed the whirlpool patriarch who seemed to have a bad temper.

Therefore, the old man just snorted coldly, and didn't answer Lei Luo's meaning, but glanced at the latter coldly, and asked instead:
"Leaving aside the matter of the Vajra Formation, I have some doubts, and I would like to ask you, Konoha Ninja, to clarify my doubts for me."

"What question, you ask."

In this way, the two of them ran forward quickly, and exchanged information in various aspects while they were back and forth, all with the intention of figuring out what they didn't understand as soon as possible.

The doubts of the Uzumaki patriarch mainly focus on Konoha's attitude towards the Uzumaki clan, whether Konoha has other reinforcements, the overall situation of the second ninja war that is going on now, and Lei Luo's position and identity.

And... why Konoha only sent him as a reinforcement.

Lei Luo's doubts are mainly focused on how much remaining combat power the Uzumaki Clan has today, how long the anti-missile system like the Vajra Array can last, and whether the Uzumaki Clan still has some weapons that can cause large-scale damage to the Kirigakure ninjas. the hole card.

And...why the Uzumaki clan didn't admit the authenticity of Yume Shiguro's bug and the identity of Konoha represented by it.
