Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 438 Story
In a few words, the polite words passed.

The old man with white hair and wrinkled face cleared his throat, his eyes seemed casual, but he stared at Lei Luo very seriously, and asked softly:
"I don't know what is the purpose of Your Excellency Lei Luo's visit to our Kato family this time?"

Noticing that the old guy on the opposite side had a hint of vigilance in his expression, and his behavior was even more cautious, Lei Luo smiled, put down the teacup he had just sipped, and replied in a gentle tone:
"It's very simple..."

With a light cough, Lei Luo put on a melancholy expression, and slowly told the story that he had compiled a few days ago:
"That was about three years ago, when I was just a ninja..."

Following Lei Luo's words, Kato Kiyoshi and Kato Rika gradually understood what was going on:

In a nutshell, Lei Luo encountered a group of difficult enemies in a mission three years ago when he happened to be alone:

It is a bandit gang composed of a few rebels from the outer village and a dozen wandering ninjas.

Since the leading Jonin and the two teammates were not around, Lei Luo naturally fell into a life-and-death crisis.

After all, according to Lei Luo, he was still very weak at that time, not strong enough to resist the siege of so many ninjas, and he was almost certain to die in that situation.

However, just when Lei Luo was about to die, a ninja from the Kato clan appeared in time and tried his best to save Lei Luo, who was on the verge of death, regardless of the countless attacks from the enemies.

Because of this, after the two escaped from the siege, the ninja from the Kato clan died unfortunately due to his injuries. Before he died, Lei Luo confessed:

"I've been like this all my life, but I still feel unwilling..."

"The patriarch of our clan is already old now, and the eldest lady is too young as the only child in the direct line..."

"The desolation of our Kato clan is imminent, so I am worried, I am worried..."

"Lei Luo, if you have the ability in the future, you still hope to help our family, so..."

"I will die without regret."

After saying the above words, the ninja of the Kato clan died directly.

Lei Luo secretly kept this matter in his heart, thinking that one day

Be sure to fulfill the entrustment of this "benefactor".

Since then, Lei Luo has practiced hard, and after a series of difficult battles, he finally has the powerful strength he is now.

Thinking that he could be regarded as "flying to the top" now, Lei Luo thought about repaying the kindness of the past.

In this way, he came to the door today, and the object of "repaying favor" is the entire Kato clan, including the eldest lady Kato Rika who the ninja of the Kato clan never forgot before his death.

After the narration was over, Lei Luo's expression also unknowingly darkened.

He frowned, as if mourning for the past.

In his eyes, there was something inexplicable and inexplicable:
It seems to be mourning, nostalgia, and gratitude. In short, the ingredients are extremely complicated.

After listening to Lei Luo's story, Kato Kiyoshi secretly observed the expression of the former, but did not see any flaws, so he began to recall the person involved in Lei Luo's story - the person who rescued Lei Luo but unfortunately died himself. Kato Ninja.

The person Lei Luo said should be Gangzhi. '

'The child did die three years ago, and he did die during a mission to wipe out the rebel and ninja organization. '

'I didn't expect that the cause of Gang Zhi was actually related to Lei Luo, this is really... time and fate. '

Thinking of a young man in the collateral line, whom he had been very optimistic about, Kato Kiyoshi kept calm and believed [-]% of Lei Luo's words.

After all-the characters, time, place, and events all match up, and there is no room for Kato Kiyoshi's disbelief.

The remaining [-]% was because Kiyoshi Kato thought of the relationship between Lei Luo and Danzo in time.

Therefore, he instinctively suspected that the other party had used the power in Danzo's hands to inquire about the relevant files.

but……

Lei Luo's purpose and motivation were very pure, and he made it clear that this trip was to repay a favor, not seeking money or profit, and there was no need to spend so much energy to understand the situation back then.

In particular, their Kato family now only has two direct members, and I am afraid that they are not qualified enough to make a big man like Lei Luo treat him differently.

In this way, the last [-]% of doubts were dispelled.

At the same time, when he learned that his family had such a deep connection with Lei Luo, Kato Kiyoshi was surprised and delighted in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking a little bit.

"Your Excellency Lei Luo, the old man understands your purpose."

First, he also put on a sad expression, as if he was remembering the clansman named Kato Takeshi, Kato Kiyoshi slowed down for a while, and then said in a deep voice:

"I've heard Hokage-sama mention the matter of Goshi, but I didn't expect that there is such a relationship between that child and you."

"From now on, it seems that Gangzhi not only possesses the will of fire in the true sense, but also the pride of our Kato clan."

"Although he died, his character and will have been passed down forever, which is worth learning from all of us."

What Kiyoshi Kato said in this speech was full of emotion and full of aura, and a little tear came from the corner of his eyes, which seemed to prove:

He really thinks so.

On the opposite side, after Kato Kiyoshi's "reminder", Lei Luo unexpectedly took a look at the old man, and suddenly found... Kato Kiyoshi's attitude seemed to be different from what he had originally imagined.

'interesting. '

What he discovered unintentionally lifted Lei Luo up a little bit, so he wiped the corners of his eyes pretending to wipe his tears, and sighed:
"Unfortunately, Gangzhi has passed away now, and I have no way to repay him personally."

"Patriarch Qing, since you already know the reason for my visit, please tell me what difficulties the Kato clan has at present."

"Although it's rude to say this, I, Lei Luo, really want to repay this kindness, and I really want to do something for the Kato family within my ability."

Lei Luo said these words with sincerity, but Kato Kiyoshi seemed a little embarrassed for a while, hesitating to speak.

As a result, the atmosphere in the field was silent for a while.

On the side, Kato Rika first glanced at her father secretly, and then carefully glanced at Lei Luo for a moment from the corner of her eye.

'Gangzhi?Who is that? '

The doubts in his heart showed on his face, that is, he was at a loss. Kato Rika obviously didn't know: when did such a number one person emerge from his family.

She also heard what was said just now, and seeing her father and Lei Luo's appearance, this person is obviously very important to them.

But... why don't I have any impression?

In fact, for Kato Tsuyoshi——

Such a collateral child of the Kato clan, with mediocre talents, and a clansman who is still single at the age of seventeen or eighteen, Kato Rika naturally cannot have an impression.

After all, after the end of the world line, she became the only seedling of the Kato clan. During her growth, she was loved by thousands of people, and she was a veritable "Miss of the clan".

The difference in identities makes Kato Rika and Kato Tsuyoshi almost have no intersection. How could she know about Kato Tsuyoshi?
In particular, Kato Tsuyoshi, who was specially selected by Lei Luo from Konoha's file, is a member of the Kato clan who has both died of his parents, has a withdrawn personality, and does not want to get in touch with others.
