Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 38 Roots
Like the previous few times, the attack came suddenly and ended abruptly.

Afterwards, the Genin Chunin will find that the Jōnin they rely on has collapsed in convulsions.

There is no chance of counterattack, and no room for defense.

Second kill, second kill, second kill!

The shadow clone is an instant kill against the Chunin, and the main body is still an instant kill against the Shangnin.No one could see these three high-speed moving figures clearly, they only knew that when the blue light appeared, there must be a Chunin who fell down.After the blue light drifted past, the Jonin was over.

Panic is spreading, no matter how good the psychological quality of the root ninja is, when faced with an enemy that is completely irresistible, it is inevitable that the idea of ​​​​giving up will arise.

Circles of air waves gushed out, and the blue light and shadow fluctuated, sometimes overlapping and sometimes separating.The cyan one can still see the outline of a person, but the blue one has completely turned into strips of undulating light.

Most root ninjas can't even tell how many enemies there are. In this case, can they pose a threat to the enemy?Can they resist for even a second while being targeted?

So, what are they fighting with?
No, this isn't fighting anymore, this is massacre.

Although Lei Luo didn't kill any of them, his companions fell unconscious one after another, the billowing air waves that might appear around him at any time, and the cyan light that couldn't stop harvesting... It's fine for the rest of them not to have a nervous breakdown.

The battle continues, but the results are already evident.

It is only a matter of time before Genin's entire army is wiped out.

Danzo leaned on a tree trunk beside him, watching the battle between Lei Luo and Genin with all his attention.Blue and blue rays of light shine everywhere on the battlefield, invincible to those who stand in their way, and there is no single enemy.Most of the root ninjas can't find where the enemy is, and the techniques they cast at risk either miss or hurt their own people.

Although Danzo is not a taijutsu ninja, but at his level, all aspects of ability are still passable.His eyesight was not comparable to that of the headless chickens below, so he quickly discerned a little trick.

The two cyan figures looked the same as Lei Luo. Although Danzo didn't see Lei Luo's seal, he also guessed that it was Lei Luo's shadow clone, but the strength of these two shadow clones was too strong.

As for Lei Luo's body, that is, the blue electric light that crosses the battlefield, Danzo's dynamic vision can barely see the outline of the opponent.The most important thing is that the blue light is very flexible between flickering and moving, and it seems that it is not affected by inertia much, so it is very difficult to predict.

Danzo thought to himself that even if he ended up in person, he might not be able to please Lei Luo in the crazy offensive of the two clones of his main body. What's more, it is just a test now, and it is impossible for Lei Luo to show all his cards.

At this moment, Danzo felt a strong vigilance in his heart.Lei Luo's strength is very strong, very strong, but it is a bit too strong, and it has completely exceeded Danzo's control.

Danzo didn't know whether he should recruit Lei Luo to the root. If Lei Luo hadn't shown his trump card, then the opponent's strength might not be far from Hokage.But can such a strong master really be willing to let himself be driven?Danzo is deeply skeptical of this.

Although some can't trust Lei Luo, a wave of ambition is also ignited in Danzo's heart at the same time: If Lei Luo sincerely works for the root, then the root will undoubtedly usher in a qualitative change, and the significance of this to his Danzo is hard to put into words to describe!
Danzo even thought optimistically: With Lei Luo's full support, then Hokage's seat may not be so far away.

The three generations of Lei Luo's ancestors were all Konoha people, and their wealth was clean.He himself has recorded all the information from birth to the present, and he is not afraid of being checked by others.

As for the possibility that Lei Luo is a spy from the outer village, it has been ruled out by Danzo.Although I don't know how he developed his strength, Danzo concluded that no village high-level would be willing to send such a strong ninja as a spy, it would be a waste of money.

Another point is also very important: Lei Luo is not a family ninja, does not belong to any faction, and does not seem to have any political inclinations. The chances of the other party wanting to become Hokage should be very low.

Moreover, Lei Luo does not reject joining the root, nor does he shy away from the notoriety of his group, and is willing to "mutually benefit" with him.With all these factors together, Danzo seems to be unable to find a reason to give up Lei Luo's "clean" background, "low-key" personality, and the need for "clear" strong combat power.

This kind of good thing that is equivalent to falling from the sky, if he Danzo does not accept it decisively, it will be a waste of being a high-level Konoha for so many years.

So... Lei Luo's previous request should really be considered carefully.

All kinds of thoughts flashed across Danzo's mind, as for the off-court battle, it was no longer within his focus.Anyway, his group of elite root ninja troops are not Lei Luo's opponent at all, and there is nothing to look at.

Even if Lei Luo killed them all in agitation, Danzo would not care too much.Exchanging 42 root ninjas for a kage-level master, the deal is worth it no matter how you look at it.

What's more, Lei Luo didn't kill, which fully showed the sincerity of the other party. Danzo was already thinking about what conditions should be raised in the negotiations later.

On the battlefield full of stunned Genin, Lei Luo casually knocked out the last Chunin who was already frozen, and slowly slowed down to triple speed.

The gray glow in the eyes quickly faded, and the two shadow clones beside him also turned into smoke and dissipated at the same time.

Lei Luo raised his watch and glanced at the time: 3 minutes, a little longer than he expected.It may be the first time that the firepower is fully fired, and I am not quite used to this fighting style.

Lei Luo stretched his neck indifferently, and made a crisp clicking sound. He raised his hand and grabbed the tattered Chunin vest on his body, tore it off forcefully and threw it aside.

The gymnastics exercise some time ago made his chest muscles and biceps slightly bulge, and he is no longer the emaciated appearance when he just crossed.The wound pierced by the air has healed, leaving only wisps of blood sticking to his robust body, adding a sense of ferocity.

With his chest bare, Lei Luo raised his head and said to Danzo not far away, "I don't think I need this dress, do I?"

Danzo came back to his senses, quickly jumped off the tree trunk, walked quickly to Lei Luo, patted Lei Luo on the shoulder kindly and said: "Of course you don't need it, I will prepare better ones for you." At the time of saying this, Danzo put away his old sullen face for a rare occasion, and showed an amiable smile, which made Lei Luo feel uncoordinated no matter how he looked at it.

However, is this a good start?
"Lei Luo, you have proven yourself." Danzo put away his smile, and his face became a little serious. "Next, let's find a clean place and sit down and talk. I will seriously consider your requests."

"I hope so." Lei Luo also got a little serious.

As for the Gennin who were beaten until they lost consciousness, the two of them didn't care.The value of these so-called "elite" Gennin seems to be nothing more than that.

Danzo is completely the relationship between the master and the tool to them. Whether they can survive or not, Danzo doesn't matter at all.

Anyway, those who wake up will come back, and those who are dead will die.

Compared with their life and death itself, Danzo obviously cares more about what is behind their life and death: Lei Luo's "sincerity" in this one-sided battle.

Danzo wants to see if Lei Luo is a person who strictly abides by his promises through the number of life and death of the ninjas, which will determine how he will get along with Lei Luo in the future.

A ninja without power is destined to be unable to control his own destiny, which is especially evident in Gennin.Lei Luo was slightly touched by this, after all, he is considered "half" now.

As for the way to go next, it depends on the negotiations for a while.This will determine Lei Luo's overall plan for the next few years, even decades.

……

In the huge underground space, buildings that occupy a large area have been artificially built. The incandescent lamps for lighting can be seen everywhere, making this pitch-black underground that should be invisible to the naked eye extremely bright.

On the corridor extending in all directions, a layer of neat floor tiles was paved, and the root ninjas coming and going bowed and saluted when they saw Danzo.Below the corridor is a bottomless pothole, and I don't know how many meters the construction workers dug down.

It's hard to imagine that during the period of the Second Ninja World War, the roots already had such a vast base, and Danzo's capital was really strong.

Lei Luo was wearing a black cloak, and asked Danzo who was walking beside him in amazement: "How many bases like this are there at the root?"

"This is the base camp, the only one in the entire ninja world." Danzo replied lightly, his tone filled with arrogance: "It is thanks to the original Hokage Senju Hashirama that we were able to build such a huge base."

Next, Danzo and Lei Luo briefly introduced the history of this base: After Senju Hashima fought with Uchiha Madara, he knew that his life was not long.He was worried that Konoha might encounter an enemy as powerful as Madara in the future, so he used the little time left to dig out such a secret base under Konoha.

Its main purpose is to use this place for Konoha villagers to take refuge in times of crisis.
