Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 411 Allies
Danzo frequently changed the subject, talking about this and that, which is a very bad speaking habit in Lei Luo's view.

Because this will make him confused and unable to judge the other party's purpose.

Unknowingly, Lei Luo lowered his face a little, and responded coldly: "Sarutobi Hiruzen's foreign policy is too conservative. In my opinion, with our Konoha's strength, we could have been stronger."

Lei Luo's answer did not exceed Danzo's expectations. After all, after getting along for such a long time, Danzo thinks he has figured out what the other party's temperament is.

Therefore, Danzo quickly raised the next question:
"If you were Hokage, how would you deal with the situation Konoha is currently facing?"

Realizing that this was Danzo's temptation to him, Lei Luo thought for a while, and replied in a deep voice: "In this situation, the only thing we can do is to see the tricks and break the tricks. It doesn't matter whoever becomes Hokage."

"Whether our Konoha lives or dies, whether we succeed or fail, depends on the means of each family."

This time, Lei Luo told the truth, after all, the matter is obvious:

Konoha has only so many troops, even if he is replaced by Hokage, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she will still be at a disadvantage if she fights four.

This is a competition of the overall strength of Ninja Village. In today's era when there are no ninjas like Senjujuma, no matter how powerful an individual is, he still has his limit. This is an indisputable fact.

Lei Luo's truthful telling not only did not dispel Danzo's confidence in him, although he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but the balance in Danzo's heart was gradually tilting towards Lei Luo.

So, he moved on to the next question:
"Then what do you think is the factor that brought Konoha into such an unfavorable situation?"

Hearing this question, Lei Luo was obviously stunned, and subconsciously wanted to say: Isn't it caused by you, a shit-stirring stick, who sent me everywhere to cause trouble?

But Danzo is the leader after all, Lei Luo still resisted the urge to complain, and planned to save some face for the other party:
"The source should be Shayin Village, right? If they hadn't caused trouble, I think we, Yanyin and Shayin, should be besieging Yuyin Village together."

"The war should not be as intense as it is now."

No matter what others think, Lei Luo believes that the main reason why Sha Yin Village dared to declare war on Konoha so decisively is the Shenyingqiu incident, that is, the incident that was detonated by himself.

From the current point of view, the occurrence of this incident not only completely pushed the position of Yuyin Village to the side of Sandy Village, but also gave Sandy Village an excuse to start a war against Konoha.

As for Yanyin Village, most of them believed the nonsense of Sandyin Village and acted as a follower. Of course, it is not ruled out that Onoki may have conspired against the Land of Fire long ago.

As for the Hidden Mist Village...

Lei Luo didn't mention it, because the enemy of Wuyin Village, no matter what, the responsibility is all on his and Danzo's heads, and there is no excuse for this.

Danzo pondered for a while, and then smiled slightly. Although Lei Luo pushed the blame on Sha Yincun, he undoubtedly understood the latter's subconscious meaning.

Although it was clear that Danzo instructed him, Lei Luo carried it out, and the two put Konoha under the current situation together, Lei Luo did not admit this.

According to Lei Luo's words, Hidden Sand Village has become the party that takes the initiative to provoke. All the current turmoil in the ninja world stems from the hidden conspiracy of Hidden Sand Village.

At this moment, Danzo suddenly discovered that Lei Luo seemed to have become a lot more hypocritical than before, and his ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open was also very fast.

but……

Regarding Lei Luo's distorted words, Danzo not only did not get angry, but showed a knowing smile, and was very satisfied in his heart.

In just a few words, Lei Luo's political inclination has been completely tested by Danzo.

And this also made Danzo put down a little bit of worry, and the next topic was more explicit:
"Lei Luo, if you want to become the fourth Hokage, then this old man can express his opinion now - I support you."

After the words fell, the atmosphere in the field was silent for a few seconds.

After a while, seeing that Lei Luo seemed to have just reacted, and his expression was full of surprise, Danzo added in a calm manner:
"Of course, there are prerequisites for this. First of all... after you become Hokage, the old man's roots cannot be affected too much."

"Secondly, I want to get a promise from you."

Having said that, Danzo's attitude is much more solemn. Obviously, this promise is not a trivial matter.

After thinking about it, Lei Luo asked, "What promise?"

"I want to be the next generation of Hokage after you."

Hearing this, Lei Luo was obviously stunned for a second or two, then quickly reacted, suppressed his worries, and asked as if nothing had happened:
"Fifth Hokage? At your age..."

Knowing the meaning of Lei Luo's words, Danzo smiled, and then replied indifferently:
"You don't need to worry about it, as long as you... don't sit in Hokage's seat for decades."

Danzo looked very confident that he could live for a long time. Lei Luo didn't know how to make an evaluation for a moment, and a pensive look crossed his face.

In his brain, he was thinking about all kinds of pros and cons, and he was weighing in his heart-whether he should have a complete showdown with Danzo.

Own ambition, allies Uzumaki Clan, Yume Shiguro and other subordinates who have reached a tacit understanding, and the agreement with Namikaze Minato.

There are too many things that Danzo doesn't know about him, Lei Luo, and Lei Luo himself knows that there are some things that Danzo must never know.

Otherwise, before Danzo broke with Sarutobi Hiruzen, he, Lei Luo, would have to break with Danzo first.

A few minutes passed quietly. After careful consideration, Lei Luo raised his head, took a deep breath, and said to Danzo who had been waiting for a long time:
"I can agree to your two requests. I will not interfere with the operation of your roots, and I will also help you become the fifth Hokage."

The matter was settled smoothly, no matter how gloomy Danzo's personality was, he couldn't help showing a sincere smile on his face at this moment.

Thinking of what Hiruzaru Sarutobi said to himself when they met last time, Danzo sneered in his heart, but he still kept smiling on the surface, and said to Lei Luo:

"Lei Luo, I am very glad that you can continue to cooperate with the old man."

"This time, let's work together to drive Hirazan away from Hokage's seat."

"Konoha, it's time to really get tough."

Danzo revealed a lot of information in almost a few words, and Lei Luo didn't know why the other party made up his mind so quickly, and was going to meet Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Naruto.

However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for Lei Luo.

With the support of Danzo, Lei Luo has a place in the current high-level Konoha. If so, there are some plans...

It seems that the preparations can be started in advance.

Thinking of this, Lei Luo calmed down and began to ask Danzo, who had become his ally at this moment:
"Hizaru Sarutobi is now in his prime, how do you plan to drive him out? I want to hear your plan."
