Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 34 Haze
When Lei Luo walked out of the gate of Hokage's office, he subconsciously touched his pocket, which was bulging.

This mission Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reward Lei Luo with ninjutsu, but gave him a reward for business, about 30 taels. Lei Luo secretly calculated the exchange rate and found that its purchasing power was equivalent to more than 4 RMB in his previous life.

Since the incoming rain ninjas were too powerful, the surviving ninjas were considered to have completed an A-level mission.

Sarutobi Hiraku paid a total of 15 taels of rewards, and the other 15 taels were bonuses for Lei Luo's outstanding performance on the battlefield.

Although Hiruzaru Sarutobi was generous, Lei Luo was not very satisfied with the reward.

After all, his usual expenses are very little, and the medicinal materials needed to practice physical skills can be covered with savings, and there is nothing else to spend money on.

Lei Luo is not short of money, what he wants is ninjutsu materials.

It's a pity that after several explicit hints, Hiruza Sarutobi didn't intend to give ninjutsu again, so he dismissed Lei Luo by talking about it.

Lei Luo speculates that there may be two reasons: one is that it was just given last time, and it seems to be given too frequently this time, which is easy to break the "rules".The second is that this mission has not yet met the requirements for rewarding ninjutsu, although his personal performance has been very good.

Then—completing the mission is not the same as being able to directly acquire ninjutsu, Lei Luo read this from Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude.

Lei Luo was very disappointed with this result.

But he is Hokage, and he can't help it.

Lei Luo left Hokage's office calmly, and walked slowly in the middle of the corridor.

All kinds of staff passing by around didn't notice, his face looked a little cloudy and uncertain.

Under the bright incandescent light, the hard and thick wall surface, and the fiery red tiles were shining brightly, but they couldn't illuminate the haze in Lei Luo's heart at all.

He didn't know if the situation this time was a special case. If the reward for the S-level mission was just a sweet treat at the beginning, and there would be no more in the future, it would mean that he would be in a rather unfavorable situation, and the value of joining Anbu would not be that great up.

Lei Luo knows that he is a commoner ninja, neither has the resources of a big family, nor is he a direct descendant of Hokage, so how difficult is it to obtain precious ninjutsu resources within the system?Originally, he was still thinking about achieving his goals through promotion and meritorious service, but now that he thinks about it, he may be too naive.

Lei Luo knew that he had to prepare for the worst.

Therefore, the "hunting" plan should also be put on the agenda. With Anbu's skin, he should be able to get in touch with some powerful ninjas. I hope there are some who know the sealing technique.

Lei Luo sighed, feeling that the situation was much more complicated, which made his head hurt.

He walked out of the Hokage building, intending to go home and rest first, and then practice gymnastics in the afternoon.There are also those newly captured ninjutsu that need time to master. His time is really tight.

At this time, a hoarse and deep voice sounded from behind: "Ping Zulei Luo, are you interested in chatting with the old man?"

Lei Luo glanced behind him, and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe squinting at him.This middle-aged man had thin cheeks, dark eyes, and two sharp scars on his chin.

This is... Danzo?
Lei Luo turned around, looked directly at Danzang and said, "Elder Danzang? What do you want me to do?"

Danzo didn't care about Lei Luo's slightly disrespectful eyes. He might also know that his reputation among ordinary ninjas is not very good.After all, it is the time of World War II. Danzo has not been completely hidden behind the scenes, and many people still know him.

Danzo just raised his hand, as if to indicate that he had no malice towards Lei Luo, and he said to Lei Luo in Furui Wubo's tone: "Oshemaru sent me a message back, but what I said to him is somewhat I can’t believe it, so now I have to confirm the situation myself.”

Lei Luo frowned and asked, "Oshemaru, as Hokage-sama's apprentice, has a bright future, so he probably won't make some fake news to fool the village's senior management."

Danzo opened his eyes slightly, as if surprised by Lei Luo's answer, he said: "The news may be true at first, but I know the person who handled it well, so it doesn't seem to make much difference whether the news is true or not in the end."

"So..." Lei Luo pondered for a while, seeing that he couldn't get away with it, he said bluntly: "Elder Danzang, what do you mean? We might as well say it clearly if we have something to say, it takes a lot of brains to play riddles like this."

Danzo chuckled, as if he had expected Lei Luo's reaction, and said slowly: "It's really not easy for a ninja like Orochimaru to lie for you and follow Lei Luo."

lie?What's the fuss about?
While Lei Luo was puzzled, he gradually got a taste: when Dashewan was testing himself that day, it seemed that he only raised doubts about his strength.As for other things, Orochimaru didn't seem to mention it.

Especially my biggest flaw: the amnesia incident of Yueguang Xuandao, the other party didn't say anything at all. Thinking about it now, this is very abnormal.

From this point of view, either Orochimaru is not interested in this matter, or he has other plans, but this guy is not secretive, and Danzo noticed his flaws.

It's just that Lei Luo felt that there was nothing wrong with his performance in front of Orochimaru, so what was the other party trying to hide when he lied for him?
"Oshemaru deliberately lied for me? Want to deceive the village's senior management?" Lei Luo let out a laugh, shook his head and said, "Elder Danzo, let's not talk about whether I have such a great charm. Just talk about Orochimaru and do it in his capacity." It’s tantamount to self-destructing your future.”

Danzo said noncommittally: "Don't underestimate yourself, although I don't understand you, I understand Orochimaru."

"Okay." Lei Luo spread his hands helplessly. "Elder Danzang wants to confirm what's going on, please tell me."

"Yueguang Xuandao, you should know him." Danzo narrowed his eyes again, staring closely at Lei Luo. "About his amnesia, do you really know nothing about it?"

Lei Luo sighed, and said with a frowning face: "Isn't this matter already over? Elder Danzang and Hokage-sama have no doubts about this. What will you get if you hold on to me?"

Danzang's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Don't use Ri Zhan to prevaricate me! Whether you have any problems, you know best in your heart!"

Seeing that Lei Luo was silent, Danzo's expression softened a bit, but his tone was still very stern: "I didn't doubt you at first, and it was just a routine thing to let Orochimaru test you, but his abnormal behavior made me really notice You, and Julei Luo!"

"Your net worth is clean. Although Orochimaru has some disadvantages, you can still tell the big things about right and wrong." Danzo paused for a moment, and pointed out: "So I think your identity as a Konoha ninja is fine. Your problem is only that you have mastered a certain technique that you should not have mastered."

Lei Luo looked indifferent on his face, and even sneered at Danzo for making much ado about nothing, but in his heart he was secretly cursing Orochimaru, an idiot, for exposing himself.

The reason why he was a little annoyed was that it was not the best time to contact Danzo at this point in time.

After all, his strength has not yet formed, and he is not yet sure against the first-level shadow masters.Triple speed is fast, but it definitely can't make a master of Sarutobi Hiruzen's level unable to react. This is speculated from the details of various comics in the previous life.

If Danzo discovers the clues of his own strength, he will definitely break with Konoha at that time, and he will probably not be able to beat Hokage, so he can only be forced to leave.

The losses that result from that...

Even if there was only a slight risk, Lei Luo was unwilling to accept it. His mind turned and he secretly thought about the next countermeasure.

Danzo didn't know what was going on in Lei Luo's mind. He saw Lei Luo sneer at his speculation, and there was no discomfort on his face, as if he was not in a hurry.

This old guy knows how much chips he has. Lei Luo has just become Anbu today, so he is obviously still within the sight of Sarutobi Hiruzen.In addition, what he said before is mostly speculation without real evidence. In fact, there is no way to force it, but this does not affect him to find a way to achieve his goal.

"I know you don't want to admit it. After all, it's a secret technique that can perfectly erase memories. It's stronger than the people in the mountains. It's normal for you to be so careful." Danzang said sincerely, as if he was thinking of Lei Luo.

But in the next second, Danzo changed the subject: "But do you know how valuable the secret technique you have mastered? In this case, not to mention me, even Hiruza will be tempted? You really think you can Can it be hidden?"

Lei Luo was expressionless, and said indifferently: "I only know that Master Hokage has already exposed this matter, and Master Hokage has no intention of spying on my secret."

"What's more..." Lei Luo sneered and said: "All this is your speculation, without evidence, you can't do anything to me, am I right? Elder Danzo."

Hearing Lei Luo say Hokage-sama to the left and Hokage-sama to the right, Danzo's face suddenly darkened, and he no longer had the same expression as before. "Do you really think that I can't do anything to you? But a new Jonin..."

Lei Luo waved his hand, interrupted Danzo's threatening words, and said to himself: "Actually, Elder Danzo, I don't think there is any need to make this embarrassing between us. After all, you are a high-ranking Konoha, and I don't want to offend you." .”
