Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 9 Naruto
"Did you... just use me as bait?"

Yueguang Xuandao's complexion is not very good at this time, anyone who has experienced this kind of thing must not be happy, even if he successfully kills the enemy.

Lei Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then became a little annoyed.Annoyed that he took the risk to save this guy, and the other party is still entangled in these trivial matters.But he was wearing a mask, so Yueguang Xuandao couldn't see his expression clearly.

"In this case, this is the only solution I can think of." Unavoidable that the moonlight bounced back, Lei Luo tried his best to soften his tone.

After all, now is not the time to fall out.

"You... Forget it, at least you saved my life." Yue Guangxuan sighed softly, then stretched out her hand, and touched it tentatively.

"Is it wire?"

"En." Lei Luo nodded, walked to the hidden corpse, and started the routine search for the corpse.

"The previous wires were all used to set up this trap, and I need to add some to this guy."

Yueguang Xuandao looked at Lei Luo silently for a while, then took out a bundle of bandages from the ninja bag, and silently bandaged his wound.

The scene fell silent for a moment, save for the sound of the rain.

Soon after the body search, Lei Luo stood up and took the lead to break the silence: "The time is almost up, and the remaining one is probably going to be found to be wrong, we need to leave quickly."

"Go? With my current state, how far can we go?"

"As far as you can go, staying here is waiting for death." Lei Luo replied calmly.

"At the very least, we have to wait for you to recover from your injuries before we act. In the end, I saw the strength of that guy. On the face of it, I am no match at all."

Yueguang Xuandao couldn't help but mocked: "Isn't it enough to use your tricks to kill him? Like just now?"

"This kind of opportunity is not easy to find, and I don't think you, Jonin-sama, are willing to be bait anymore?" Lei Luo spread his hands helplessly.

Hearing this, Yueguang Xuandao couldn't help being speechless for a while.After a while, he frowned and asked back, "Why didn't you become the bait?"

Lei Luo made a pause gesture. "Let's not discuss this now, shall we? Time is running out. What do you think of me? Let's go back to the village and talk about it."

Yueguang Xuandao thought about it, and felt that it was pointless to argue about it.Moreover, Lei Luo seems to be more sincere in admitting his mistakes, maybe he really has to act in a hurry, and he may not necessarily have any malicious intentions.

On the other hand, he, who was obviously saved by the other party, still clung to him like this, which seemed a bit out of control.

Thinking of this, Yueguang Xuandao calmed down the dissatisfaction in his heart, waved his hands and said: "No, you did the right thing, I'm a little fussy, why waste time? Let's go."

Lei Luo glanced at Yue Guangxuan and said, speechless.

Why does this guy look like a bitch?

Is this really Jonin?
Oh yes, special.

……

Kirin Anbe, code-named Hanfeng, stood silently in the rain, ignoring the fact that his clothes were completely soaked by the rain.

He is not only waiting for the sneak attack to return after completing the mission, but also thinking about how to report to Mizukage after returning.

For stealth attacks, he is quite at ease.Although the opponent's frontal combat ability is not strong, it is no problem to deal with Yueguang Xuandao who is seriously injured, almost exhausted and has lost the will to resist.

And he, Han Feng, has lost interest in Yueguang Xuandao who has lost his courage.

As for the companion who was killed by Yueguang Xuandao in the battle, he didn't feel sad about it.Isn't it natural for ninjas to die on the battlefield?

The only regret is that the player who died was a sentient ninja.

You must know that perceiving ninjas is very valuable, and its cultivation not only needs to consume a lot of resources, but also depends on the ninja's talent.

It is undoubtedly the negligence of all of them for failing to protect the sentient ninjas during the battle. It is difficult for Mizukage to explain...

To be honest, he himself felt that their task this time was not perfect.

Leading the team with his Jnin-level strength, and accompanied by three companions who are at least exceptionally Jnin-level, this kind of lineup should forcefully replace one of them by the exhausted and injured Yueguang Xuandao, which is really unreasonable.

According to intelligence, this Yueguang Xuandao only has the strength of a special jounin, and his ability is completely exposed, so he can't pose a threat to them at all.

Presumably, after going back, Mizukage-sama will also be disappointed with the rest of them, and this is a very serious problem.

As Anbu, there is only one channel to obtain missions, and that is Mizukage's assignment, so Mizukage's views are crucial.

Shuiying was disappointed with them, and it is very likely that they will not entrust important tasks to them in the future.

Without important tasks, there are naturally only unimportant tasks.Unimportant tasks will not have much profit to be made.

"Damn the moonlight..." Han Feng clenched his fists bitterly, this time the ship capsized in the gutter, and there were elements of their carelessness in it.

The dance of the crescent moon... It is said to be a physical move created by Konoha's second Hokage, and it is really extraordinary.

Moreover, the technique of suddenly hiding one's breath and making the body transparent is also not mentioned in the information. What kind of strange escapism is that?

Although the stealth time is very short, almost only a few seconds, but it is enough for the opponent to instantly kill the perception ninja whose body is not flexible.

Damn it, if Yuye came to support him earlier, with his ninjutsu ability, he would definitely be able to protect him well...

Wait... what about rainy nights?

Han Feng suddenly raised his head, his cold eyes seemed to have pierced through the rain, looking at the original cave.

Except for the noise of raindrops falling all over the sky, there was no trace of sound over there.Except for the little dents left on the stone wall, everything seems to have changed from the beginning.

Until now, he seemed to have never thought of Lei Luo's existence.

Little-known Zhongnin characters, lucky ones who escaped from beheading swords, ordinary ninjas with no special abilities...

But—its character is cunning and cruel, and it is very good at taking advantage of the enemy's weaknesses. It is strongly recommended to kill them first.

The comments on the information slowly passed through his mind, and Han Feng realized at this moment that he seemed to have missed some very important things.

And... after such a long time, the stealth has not come back, which is very abnormal.

Although the character of Yin Ji is not very pleasing and has some eccentricities, he is very measured when performing tasks, and he will definitely not procrastinate for so long because of "enjoyment".

Is there any accident?
Shaking his head, Han Feng didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly ran towards Yuye's hiding place.

Unfortunately, after searching all the surrounding places, all he could find were two corpses, one stripped naked and the other headless.

It was raining heavily, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

……

Three days later, the sun is rising.

Two figures shuttled through the dense forest one after the other, it was Lei Luo and Yue Guangxuan.

At this time, Lei Luo had already thrown away the clothes and mask of Mist Ninja, and replaced it with the Chunin vest that had been hidden before.

He was about to return to the village, and he didn't want to cause any misunderstanding because others saw him wearing Kirin's clothes.

The scenery on both sides flashed across his eyes quickly, and Lei Luo noticed that the speed was a bit fast, so he looked back a little uneasy, "Is it really all right in such a short time?"

Yue Guangxuan snorted impatiently, "I'm fine, my body is almost rusted after staying for the past few days."

Seeing that the other party was so "full of energy", Lei Luo didn't want to say anything more, but just smiled dryly, then turned his head and continued on his way.

This time, he didn't use his abilities to heal Yueguang Xuandao's wounds, one was because he didn't want to expose, and the other was because he was afraid that it would cause the other party "amnesia" again.

Also because Yueguang Xuandao, who "knows nothing" about his abilities, is at the side, Lei Luo did not study his own power of time hastily, lest he be discovered.

There is a long way to go in developing capabilities, and the current environment is obviously not suitable.

In the past few days, they have been hiding by day and night, carefully avoiding the course of action of the Mist Ninjas, for fear of encountering another battle.

There is no way, Yueguang Xuandao's injuries are too serious, and she can hardly exercise vigorously in a short period of time.

Their combat strength is seriously insufficient. If they encounter a situation like that night again, the result will definitely be very bad.

Therefore, the two who have learned their lesson have invested a lot of energy in hiding their whereabouts in the past few days, and they are no longer as perfunctory as before.

In this way, unless there are wide-area perception ninjas searching for them, the possibility of exposure is minimal.

They didn't dare to go out during the daytime until three days passed without any danger, and Yueguang Xuandao's injury improved a little, in order to return to Konoha as quickly as possible.

In fact, what they don't know is that at this time, Wu Ninja is no longer able to pay attention to these little people.

After all, Konoha sensed their actions and reacted.

"The Mist Ninja invaded the border of the Nation of Fire and looted supplies wantonly."

After receiving this information, the third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield of the Land of Rain and led five hundred ninjas to the border.

Thanks to the spies lurking inside Konoha, Sandai Mizukage quickly learned that Hokage was about to arrive here.

He knew very well that now was definitely not the time to confront Konoha head-on.

Even though Mizukage is not afraid of Hokage, if there is a real fight, the situation will definitely develop towards the extremely unfavorable side for Kirigakure.

On Yanyin's side, it is estimated that they would like their Wuyin and Konoha to go to war, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

The third Mizukage didn't want to open up the second front like this at all. With their background of Kirigakure, doing so would be the way to death.

The top priority is to defeat the damned Yan Yin first, that is the real enemy.

So—"It's time to stop."

Soon, following the order of Mizukage Mizukage, the Mist Ninja packed up the large amount of supplies they had grabbed, and reluctantly left the fertile land in front of them.

But - things will never end so simply.

This sentence not only reflects the inner desire of the Mist Ninjas - they look forward to coming here again next time to "make a fortune".

Similarly, it also represents the anger and hatred of the Konoha ninjas-especially for the third generation of Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is in his prime, is not a pure fighter, but his character is far from being associated with words such as weakness and compromise.

In this era, the four characters of the Three Generations of Hokage are synonymous with being tough and not easy to mess with for the leaders of other major ninja villages.

"stop!"

A deep voice sounded, and the dense footsteps accompanied by the whistling wind stopped one after another behind the figure in the large white royal robe in front of him.

One, two, five, ten... More and more Konoha ninjas gathered here until they covered all possible places within 200 meters.On tree trunks, beside mounds, beside rivers...there are silent Konoha ninjas everywhere.

Five seconds later, when everyone stood still, a chilling aura swept past like a winter wind, and for a moment, the scene could be heard.

The figure standing at the front raised his bamboo hat slightly, and after scanning the area directly in front with a pair of sharp eyes, he stopped behind a tree 50 meters away.

"come out."

The familiar voice came to their ears, Yueguang Xuandao and Lei Luo could not help but Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, no longer hesitated, Qiqi jumped out from the hidden position.

Seeing the two people appearing in front of him, Hiruzaru Sarutobi raised his eyebrows. "The village ninja?"

"I have seen Hokage-sama."

"I have seen Hokage-sama."

Lei Luo and Yue Guangxuan didn't dare to neglect, they all bowed to Hiruzaru Sarutobi in salute.

Looking past Lei Luo and staying on Yueguang Xuandao, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, "I remember you, Yueguang Xuandao. What's the matter with your injuries?"

"Back to Hokage-sama, it was caused by a sudden attack by the ninjas of Kirigakure Anbe."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the hole in Yueguang Xuandao's chest, and the bandage that was faintly visible inside, "Almost hurt my heart, it's very dangerous."

Yueguang Xuandao nodded silently, feeling a little scared in her heart.

Then, he turned his gaze to Lei Luo, and asked hesitantly, "Who are you?"

"I am Lei Luo, Hokage-sama." Lei Luo lowered his head slightly, calmly answering Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.

It seems that he doesn't know himself, Lei Luo thought so.

In this way, I can finally feel relieved... Presumably "Hokage-sama" must not be aware that this Leiluo is no longer Perello.

Even though he has absorbed all of Lei Luo's memories, he is still worried that he will be exposed to some people who are familiar with "Lei Luo".

Behavior, speaking habits, values, ways of thinking... these things cannot be changed in a short period of time, and it is difficult to disguise everything well.

He didn't want to be suspected of being a spy by others.

What's more... The guy standing in front of me is a "shadow" from the Dainin village, and he is known for his knowledge. Who knows if he will see something wrong.

Fortunately, as Hokage, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was not interested in getting to know a Chunin with no background, and he didn't even know Lei Luo's name.

"You're not badly injured." Hiruzaru Sarutobi noticed the gap in Lei Luo's chest (cut by the beheading sword), sighed softly, and patted Lei Luo's shoulder.

"The two of you shouldn't be in the same team, right?"

Lei Luo and Yueguang Xuandao looked at each other, and finally Yueguang Xuandao took a step forward, explaining the reason to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a low voice.Of course, it was the version Lei Luo told him.

After all, in Yueguang Xuandao's memory, he "teleported" to Lei Luo's side just after he left the village, and none of his teammates saw him. He thought it was too ridiculous to say "amnesia" without saying whether Hokage would believe it. .

He had no choice but to accept Lei Luo's statement and tell the "truth" to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Fortunately, Hiruzaru Sarutobi seemed to be in a hurry at the moment, so he let Yueguangxuan make a long story short, unwilling to get entangled in these trivial matters.

As for Yueguang Xuandao's experience before meeting Lei Luo, he was "unexplainable", and he only thought that the other party was caused by the sadness after losing his teammate.

"... That's it. The reason why Wunin invaded our border was to snatch materials and use them in the war with Yan Yinjian. This is the information obtained by Lei Luo." Take credit for Murello's work.

"Is that so..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi furrowed his brows tightly, and some doubts in his heart were solved with this piece of information, but the rest was full of anger.

"Kirigakure is really courageous. Before the battle with Iwagakure came to an end, he dared to tease our Konoha, Mizukage Mizukage is really good at it..."

"Okay, I understand this matter, you guys did a good job." Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something.

It is foreseeable that the fog that has not been lifted now is going to be unlucky, Lei Luo thought gloatingly.

"Moonlight shines, record an A-level mission." Hiruzaru Sarutobi opened his mouth to summarize, this is the time to reward meritorious deeds.

"As for Parallel Lei Luo..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi paused for a moment, as if he was weighing something. "In view of your level and the risks you have taken, and finally, based on your achievements, you will be credited with an S-level mission."

Is this an S-rank mission?

Hearing the evaluation given by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Lei Luo was a little surprised. He didn't read Hokage very carefully, but he also knew the heavyweight of S-level missions.

He didn't feel like he did something, why did he get such a high rating?That piece of information doesn't seem that important to him, does it?Even knowing that Kirigakure is tight against Iwagakure, Konoha can't do anything at this time, right?

Although there were many questions, Lei Luo didn't intend to ask them. First of all, Sarutobi Hizhan would probably not answer his doubts in this situation, and secondly, he had no interest in telling the truth.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi caught the flash of confusion on Lei Luo's face, and a rare kind smile appeared on his stern face. "If I'm not mistaken, the mark on your chest was caused by a beheading sword, right?"

Lei Luo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"It's rare to be able to save one's life from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen at this age, Lei Luo."

Lei Luo smiled awkwardly, this was indeed his negligence, as a Chunin, it stands to reason that he would surely die if he met the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.He survived, a bit ruined.

I knew it would be better to change clothes at the beginning, anyway, there are so many Konoha ninja corpses around.

Seeing Lei Luo laughing awkwardly, Sarutobi Hiruza thought that the child was ashamed of "escaping his life", so he explained:

"Lei Luo, the value of a ninja is determined by his death. But sometimes, it takes more courage to live than to die. You see your teammates being killed, but you still have no impulse to bear the humiliation and bring back important information. And the spirit of sacrifice makes me, Hokage, very admire."

"Is it...?" Lei Luo felt that he should show a little loss at this moment, so a touch of sadness crossed his face.

I pretended it was real.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi patted Lei Luo's shoulder again, "Go back and take a good rest this time, the reward for the S-level mission, I will settle it when I come back."

"Well, yes, Hokage-sama." Lei Luo didn't worry about any rewards. In his opinion, there are too many things that he needs to learn, master, and study. He doesn't want to take these mundane things to heart.

Seeing that Lei Luo was so well-behaved, and hearing that the reward was postponed, there was no trace of reluctance on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen was even more satisfied with Lei Luo.

"Lei Luo, the old man remembers you, you two should go back to the village now."

"let's go!"

……

Watching Hiruzaru Sarutobi gradually disappear with a large number of Konoha ninjas, Lei Luo turned his head, glanced at Moonlight Xuandao suspiciously, and nodded his head with his finger: "I and Hokage-sama... don't seem to be in the same place. channel."

What's the matter with this inexplicable affection?

Yueguang Xuandao sighed leisurely, "To be honest, judging from the time we have been together, you really don't look like a sixteen-year-old boy at all."
