Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 386
From the country of eddies to the country of rain, the journey is about five or six hundred kilometers. This distance is already extremely long, and Lei Luo and others are not in a hurry...

Therefore, the time they spent on the road has undoubtedly increased a lot compared to the normal state, and it is estimated that they will not be able to reach it in less than ten days and half a month.

However, among the members of the team, no one complained about this aspect, saying "It's best to go back to the village as soon as possible" to spoil the fun.

After all, when Danzo handed over the task of assassinating Mizukage to Lei Luo, he did not impose a time limit on the latter, perhaps because of the difficulty of the task.

Therefore, Lei Luo thought to himself, even if he waits for someone to wait outside for ten days and a half months, or even longer—as long as it is not as excessive as a year and a half, Danzo naturally has no reason to find him Trouble.

There was plenty of time to relax and rest. Lei Luo and his party went in to eat and drink when they encountered towns, and stopped to rest for a night when they encountered beautiful mountains and rivers.

The captain Lei Luo took the initiative to pay for the various expenses incurred during this process. After all, this "travel" was proposed by him, and it was reasonable to pay a small amount for it.

Walking and stopping, because everyone eats, lives and travels together, there are conditions for mutual communication with each other, and because there is no task, it seems somewhat boring on weekdays.

Therefore, when people are free and have nothing to do, they often like to get together to chat, and the topics are all-encompassing.

From the beginning of talking about ninjutsu, secret arts, and fighting, until later talking about life, ideals, and beliefs...

In this process, everyone is constantly deepening their understanding of each other, which not only makes the feelings between the players warm up rapidly, but also makes the atmosphere in the team more and more harmonious.

Even the combination of Orochimaru and Namikaze Minato, who can't see each other, can sometimes catch up with a few words, and the atmosphere is no longer so tense.

For the current development situation in the team, Lei Luo seemed to be happy to see the results, and he didn't have the consciousness of a leader who was worried about his subordinates huddled together.

Although his affiliation with these team members had been tacitly established in the previous usurpation operation amidst the support of everyone.

On the surface, it seems that Lei Luo no longer needs to worry about whether these players will rebel against him, and worry that they will leave him one day.

However, in essence, this does not mean that Lei Luo can sit back and relax from now on.

In Lei Luo's view, there is no unreasonable loyalty in this world.

Relying on the advantages of status or strength, he may be able to maintain a superior-subordinate relationship with these teammates for a period of time.

But if he really wants this group of teammates to support him from beginning to end, mainly Yume Shiguro and Hinata Ring, and even dare to risk their lives to participate in his action to usurp the Hokage, then...

He had to take practical actions—for example, he offered to offer a part of the benefits to win over these two people, and completely tied them to his chariot.

In Lei Luo's view, it is not enough, far from enough, to just have a "vote certificate" to make others show their loyalty.

Thanks to the living textbook of Uzumaki Cheng in front of him, Lei Luo also thought about the method of winning people's hearts, and planned to practice it during this vacation trip.

Whether it's the harmonious atmosphere in the team that he deliberately created, or the seemingly unintentional disclosure of a lot of ninjutsu information to Yume Shiguro and Hinata Ring during the conversations, these are the methods he is implementing.

The impact is being carried out imperceptibly, Lei Luo believes that the two of you, the girl and Zhihei, can understand the deep meaning of what he did, and he also hopes that the two of them can respond.

Whether it is to use some ninjutsu of equivalent value, or to silently keep Lei Luo's "good intentions" in his heart, it is not a loss for Lei Luo.

In this way, more than a week passed in the blink of an eye as the happy Lei Luo team continued to march towards the Land of Rain.

The results of the war between Wuyin Village and Uzushio Village gradually spread to the ninja world with the information sent back by spies from all walks of life.

……

Yunyin Village, Raikage Building.

The third generation of Raikage Ai was sitting behind the desk, frowning and staring at the intelligence material that had just been sent in front of him, with veins popping up on the back of his hand holding the paper, obviously he was very restless.

Noticing the change in the expression of the third generation of Raikage at the moment, Tutai, a member of the young shadow guard standing by, subconsciously glanced at the information in the former's hand, and asked in a low voice:

"Master Raikage, what happened?"

This question from the earth platform, Dang even attracted the attention of the other two people present...

One of them has the same strong muscles as the third generation of Raikage, but is several sizes smaller. He is the son of the third generation of Raikage, Ai, who just turned 15 this year.

The other person was a middle-aged man with distinct black and white hair, a black stripe tattooed on the right cheek, and a slightly haggard expression, Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Bryupi.

Ai, the son of the Third Raikage, here referred to as Xiao Ai, sat on the sofa on both sides opposite to the Third Raikage with Bryubi.

"Three generations of Mizukage... That guy Shuangyue is dead."

"Because of the heavy losses, Wuyin Village has now voluntarily withdrawn from the war with Whirlpool Village."

"In other words, Wuyin Village was defeated."

When speaking these words, the third Raikage spoke very slowly, and his face was very calm. At first glance, he seemed calm, as if this matter was no big deal.

But Tutai, who knew the three generations of Raikage quite well, still saw the shock in the former's eyes at a glance after a little observation.

In fact, not only the third Raikage was shocked, but even Xiaoai and Bluby who were sitting aside, and Tutai who devoted half of his attention to observing the third Raikage's expression, also felt that the news was too shocking.

After all, the Second Ninja World War had just begun, and even within two years, a shadow from the Great Ninja Village had already died in the war. This...

"Is the strength of Uzumaki Village so strong? Even Mizukage died on the spot..."

Xiao Ai's face was solemn, and while savoring the cruelty of the war in her heart, she murmured subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, the third Raikage took a deep breath, put down the information in his hand, stretched out his palm unconsciously to touch his empty right shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"No, Mizukage's death did not originate from Uzushio Village, but from Konoha..."

"It's a good thing that Konoha's Jueying did."

The appearance of the word "jueying" made the atmosphere in the field suddenly quiet, and the expressions of the three present were unconsciously dull for a few seconds.
