Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 521
"Instead of arresting Uchiha and Kazuya without evidence, and then arousing the resistance of the Uchiha ninjas in the three teams, it is better to focus more on the country of the rain."

Seeing that Lei Luo seemed to have plans of his own, Hinata Huan didn't ask much, but just nodded slightly at the moment, because he noticed that Orochimaru and Lei Luo still had something to say, so he bid farewell to them wisely, and then left in a hurry.

When Hinata Ring's back gradually disappeared into the distant forest, Orochimaru was silent for a while, and subconsciously raised his head to look at Lei Luo, but unexpectedly, the latter was also looking at him, and the eyes of both sides suddenly converged.

"What do you want to ask me? Orochimaru?" Realizing that Orochimaru's expression was a bit serious at the moment, Lei Luo couldn't help asking curiously.

Because of Orochimaru and Beiliuhu, he successfully awakened the electromagnetic escape blood boundary tonight. Lei Luo is really satisfied with Orochimaru, so he has decided: as long as Orochimaru's request is not too outrageous, then he agrees And I agreed.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru seemed to find it difficult to speak the next words, he hesitated for a while, and then said intermittently: "Lei Luo... that... can you... save Sarutobi-sensei's life?"

Hearing this question, Lei Luo was obviously stunned for a moment. Looking at Dashewan's embarrassed face and the faint look of unbearable expression in his eyes, he didn't know whether he should agree or not for a moment.

On the way forward, Orochimaru has been by his side all the time, no matter how you look at it, he can be regarded as the person who helped him the most. Therefore, it is really difficult for Lei Luo to make a choice about the request of his friend at this moment.

Is Sarutobi Hiruzen damn it?There seemed to be no reason why one had to die.

After all, this old guy did not offend Lei Luo in essence, and the several conflicts between the two sides all stemmed from the disagreement between the doves and the hawks. It was a general trend and a power struggle without any impurities.

In other words, there is no personal enmity between Lei Luo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, only conflicts of interests and conflicts of ideals and beliefs.

Now that I think about it, even if Hiruzen Sarutobi had been able to give the rewards for that mission in place, Lei Luo wouldn't be like this now - would he take the initiative to provoke the dispute between the two factions in Konoha?

Asking himself, Lei Luo suddenly felt that this seemed a little uncertain.

Even if he works wholeheartedly under Hiruzaru Sarutobi, and the relationship between the leader and his subordinates is very pleasant, but with his own strength, sooner or later he will have to compete for the position of Hokage.

He, Lei Luo, can pretend for one day, ten days, or even one month or two months, but can he pretend for three, five, or even ten or twenty years?
Lei Luo knows that he really can't do that, so... Sarutobi Hiruzen will see through his nature one day. It's not for nothing that he gets along so well with Orochimaru Danzo of.

In other words, as long as Hiruzaru Sarutobi is alive, even if he takes the seat of the fourth Hokage, he has to continue to pretend, otherwise, it will be a matter of time before the two sides clash.

So, shouldn't Hiruzaru Sarutobi die?

Silently staring at Orochimaru for a while, thinking about the other party's background, growing up, and growing stronger, he was always accompanied by the teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen, even in later generations...

Sarutobi Hiruzen treated Orochimaru so coldly, but the moment Orochimaru attacked his teacher, he couldn't help but shed tears - those tears mixed with some kind of emotion...

Perhaps for Orochimaru, this decades-long master-student bond may not be so easy to let go...

Lei Luo sighed deeply, looked away from Orochimaru, and did not look at the latter, but slowly answered:
"I promise you, I won't kill Hiruzaru Sarutobi."

"But the rest of his life must be spent in prison."

Knowing that this was already Lei Luo's bottom line, Dashewan didn't say any more, but nodded silently with a heavy face, indicating that he could accept this result.

"Thank you... Lei Luo."

……

Another half month has passed, more than a month has passed since the end of the battle of Ishikawa Hill, and the war in the Land of Rain has finally come to an end.

Compared with Sayin who was beaten by the Leiluo Group, Yanyin Yuyin, even though he was defeated, still saved some face in front of Konoha, and did not flee back to his hometown in a hurry.

In the intersection of the three forces of Ugakure Rock and Konoha, a place called Chiba Mountain, the peace talks of the leaders of the three parties were held here.

Yanyin was weak, Konoha was anxious, and Yuyin was bored. Everyone was eager for the war to end quickly, so the talks went smoothly, and all the relevant agreements were signed within almost a day.

Although Konoha is the winner, Hiruzaru Sarutobi knows not only how his own situation is, but also knows that the other two know how Konoha is.

Therefore, he neither showed any sense of superiority of the victor, nor did he show the slightest sign of a lion opening his mouth. He just raised a few mild conditions to Yan Yin and then decisively announced-Konoha quit War, as for Yuyin...

Well, Hiruzaru Sarutobi understands:
To be honest, Yuyin is already interested in Konoha, and to humiliate Hanzo at this time will only add more variables to the next big battle.

Corresponding to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Onoki and Hanzo didn't make things difficult for Sarutobi Hiruzen, they basically said "whatever you say", and the overall atmosphere during the meeting seemed very harmonious.

After all, everyone knows that Yanyin and Uyin are about to withdraw from the center of the historical stage, and temporarily give up the "protagonist" to Konoha, so that the whole world can enjoy this feast of civil strife.

It is worth mentioning that Hiruza Sarutobi did not request an alliance with Ohnoki in the end. Although there were many factors involved, the most important one: "Hizuzaru Sarutobi really couldn't afford to lose that person" undoubtedly played a decisive role. role.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen is really unwilling to put a title of "collaborator and traitor" in front of his name when later generations evaluate him as the third Hokage after his death.

It's just... In a place unknown to Hiruzaru Sarutobi, Minato Namikaze led more than 50 members of the Flying Thunder God Commando to sneak into the Land of Rain, and then decisively began to act.

Waiting day and night, leaving with one strike, running around to commit crimes... After all kinds of tactics were arranged, in just over a week, the "collaborators and traitors" in the confession of the third Kazekage were all arrested.

With these "witnesses" in Lei Luo's hands, Hiruzaru Sarutobi might not be able to get rid of the charge of "collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country", no matter how bad it is, he will at least end up "collaborating with the enemy to kill his companions".
