Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 33 Talk
It took Lei Luo a lot of work to pull out the memories of Ishii and Dawu. After all, they are Junin, and their spiritual will is far more condensed than ordinary Chunin.Fortunately, the overall situation was relatively smooth. After all, Lei Luo got what he wanted, but it took a little more time.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the third day since Lei Luo left the team. Lei Luo expected that the large army had already returned to the village. Now that the matter was over, he planned to return to the village immediately.

After disposing of the corpses of Ishii and Dawu, Lei Luo started the return trip at triple speed.

Ordinary ninjas need to walk for three days, Lei Luo only took ten minutes.The ultra-high mobility provided by the triple speed is no less than the teleportation in space ninjutsu. Although it takes a lot of mental energy, it is definitely worth the money.

All you need to know is an exact direction, and the entire ninja world can be said to let Lei Luo swim freely.

After entering the gate of the village, Lei Luo rushed to Hokage's office immediately.One is to report the task, and the other is to see if you can join Anbu.

"Lei Luo, why are you back now?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was processing the documents, and when he saw Lei Luo coming, he raised his head and asked pretending not to care.

Lei Luo said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Something happened. After completing the task, I left the team and went to a nearby town to relax."

He didn't say how to relax in detail, so Sarutobi Hiruzen had to figure it out on his own.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi showed a smile of someone who had come here, put down the pen in his hand, and called Lei Luo to sit down. "Is it because of the sacrifice of the team members? Although I can understand, Lei Luo..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "As a ninja, I should try to do as little as possible in the future."

what kind of thing?What do you understand?
Although he didn't know exactly what Hiruzaru Sarutobi had imagined, there was no strange expression on Lei Luo's face, and he nodded in a low voice.

This topic was quickly skipped, Hiruza Sarutobi then talked about the mission, and Lei Luo tactfully filled in the details, especially focusing on his "heroic" performance.

"Those two rain ninja jounin who bullied us two-on-one, they simply see us as no one in Konoha!"

"Of course I can't just watch when this happens, so I decisively take the initiative to teach them how to behave!"

"To be honest, I didn't expect that I would be so strong now, hehe..."

When Lei Luo talked about the task, his expression could be roughly expressed as if there was a hint of pride in the nonchalant, almost saying that he would praise me quickly.

In front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Lei Luo must strictly maintain his personality.His speech and demeanor need to be in line with the status of a young man who is not familiar with the world, so that Sarutobi Hiruzen can feel at ease.

"I've heard about the situation." Hiruzaru Sarutobi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making Lei Luo "quiet". "Defeating two Jōnin with one enemy and two, although there is some moisture, your current ability should be enough to take on the rank of Jōnin."

Hiru Sarutobi put his hand on his forehead, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Lei Luo, there are two paths for you to choose now: one is to participate in the jounin assessment, and then become the leader of the jounin. The other is to join Anbu, and I will directly I grant you the special rank of ninja."

Lei Luo had nothing to think about, and said decisively: "I want to join Anbu."

"Okay." Sarutobi Hiruza didn't show any surprise, obviously he had already understood Lei Luo's thoughts, he took out a form from the pile of documents on the table and handed it to Lei Luo. "Fill this out."

Lei Luo took a look and found that what needed to be filled in was only some basic information, so he stopped talking and picked up a pen silently to start writing.

The Hokage office fell silent for a while, only the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the silent Lei Luo, thinking in his heart whether it was a good thing for Lei Luo to join Anbu.

I don't know how long ago I first heard the name of Azuleiro, but the first time I had an impression of this name was the last Mist Ninja mission.

The intelligence that Leiluo passed back without hesitation allowed Hiruzaru Sarutobi to gain a certain amount of initiative in the negotiations with Mizukage Mizukage, successfully obtained benefits for Konoha, and also provided convenience for the next step of the advisory group's strategy formulation.

Therefore, Hiruza Sarutobi did not hesitate to count Lei Luo as completing an S-level mission, and remembered this young but very capable ninja.

Lei Luo survived from the border and showed his worth.Sarutobi Hiruzen recognized Lei Luo's contribution to the village, but he never cared about Lei Luo's strength.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, Lei Luo's ability to complete the S-level mission is certainly related to his unremitting efforts under his tenacious will, but the most important thing is luck and the enemy's carelessness.

After all, Lei Luo was just an unremarkable Chunin before. If it wasn't for good luck, how could he, Lei Luo, escape from the hands of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?
Sarutobi Hiruzen has always been thinking this way, until the return of the troops from this escort mission, he got the latest record about Lei Luo: fighting against two Amane Jonin alone, quickly killing one of them, and then assisting his teammates to kill another.

Although the upper ninja of Yuyin village is inferior to the five major ninja villages in all aspects, it is more reflected in the mastery and use of high-end ninjutsu secret techniques.To put it simply, the rain ninjas generally have no "hole cards".

Conventional ninja skills, ordinary ninjutsu usage skills, and rich combat experience, Ugakure Jōnin is actually similar to Dazin Murakami Ninja, so Lei Luo's record really proves that he has the strength of Jōnin level.

Thinking about it now, perhaps it wasn't just luck that Lei Luo survived the fight with Loquat Ten Zang.Hiruza Sarutobi thinks he has found a reasonable explanation, and the only question now is: Since Lei Luo already has the strength of Jōnin, why didn't he apply for the assessment?

In this regard, Lei Luo's explanation is as follows: He has never fought against other Jnin before, so it is difficult to judge where he has grown.Wouldn't it be a loss of face if you rashly applied for the assessment and failed to pass it?

After hearing this answer, Sarutobi Hiruza couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.This time he rediscovered Lei Luo's character: whether it was the last conversation or this conversation, Lei Luo unabashedly expressed his emphasis on face.

Although they are all hypocritical, it is normal for young people to care about face issues, it is nothing more than self-esteem.

To be honest, this explanation was forced, but Sarutobi Hiruzen accepted it.Unlike Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen is Hokage after all, and he has too many things to deal with every day, so he doesn't bother to worry about such trivial matters.

As long as Lei Luo is still loyal to Konoha and is willing to contribute to Konoha, Hiruza Sarutobi will not care about Lei Luo's little secret, and will not stalk him to get to the bottom of it.

This is the mind that Hokage should have.

After a while, Lei Luo finished filling out the form and returned it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.Hiruzaru Sarutobi picked up the stamp and solemnly stamped the Hokage certificate on it.

"According to Lei Luo, you are a full-fledged member of Anbu from today on."

Affected by Sarutobi's emotions, Lei Luo unconsciously straightened his body, as he should be serious.

"Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, you go to the tenth training ground. There, there will be your new captain and teammates, and they will explain to you the rules and regulations of Anbu in detail." Hiruzaru Sarutobi explained the matter clearly, with a look on his face A gratified smile.

"I won't say anything extra. Lei Luo, I hope you can gain experience and grow in Anbu's work, and become a pillar of our Konoha in the future."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi pondered for a moment, and then said leisurely: "Where the leaves are flying, the fire is also endless. The fire will illuminate the village and let the new leaves sprout. Lei Luo, the future of the village is entrusted to you young people. Don't live up to my expectations!"

When talking about this Konoha motto, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression suddenly became very strange, as if he had three parts yearning, three parts firmness, three parts nostalgia, and one part concealed a deep sigh.

An invisible force seemed to emanate from Sarutobi Hiruzen, which touched Lei Luo's already hard steel-like heart. This might be the power of faith.

In this situation, Lei Luo felt that he should express something.So with an "unconcealable" excitement on his face, he tremblingly said: "I will do it! Hokage-sama!"

"En." Hiruza Sarutobi nodded lightly, seeing Lei Luo's "inadvertent" "reveal of true feelings", he was completely relieved.

"Now let's talk about the reward for this mission."
