Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 550 Courage
A moment later, in a room in Konoha, Orochimaru and Lu Chen were sitting inside waiting for Minato's arrival.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged at the table, studying the scroll Orochimaru had given him. He had previously noticed V secretly studying ninjutsu, and so Lu Chen was also aroused by his enthusiasm for opening the scroll, though he hadn't spoken out about it at the time. These two were both masters of scrolls.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, was kneeling very properly, looking very polite.

It wasn't long before an ANBU member arrived with a somewhat exhausted Minato. As the Hokage, Minato was not at all arrogant. Perhaps he also needed to give face to the companions of his master Jiraiya.

As soon as Minato came in, he saw Lu Chen sitting next to Orochimaru, and he immediately remembered Lu Chen's appearance. According to the information from Jiraiya, this person had killed Danzo, and now he was sitting next to the new leader of the Root organization.

He began to wonder if Orochimaru had eliminated Danzo in order to gain control of the Root. It seemed this man had been hiding in Orochimaru's secret base with his fellow samurai. What was Orochimaru's intention in bringing him to see him?
However, Minato still sat on the other side of the table politely.

When Lu Chen saw Minato enter the house, he rolled up the scroll again and put it aside.

Orochimaru smiled and poured a cup of tea for Minato, and then poured a cup for himself and Lu Chen.

Then he took the initiative to speak: "Minato, you should know the person next to me very well. According to Jiraiya's information, he was the one who killed Danzo. But there is a reason for all this."

Minato asked suspiciously, "Did you do this to Danzo? Did he do this on your orders?"

Lu Chen took the initiative to pick Orochimaru out, and replied nonchalantly: "No, it wasn't Orochimaru who ordered me to do so. The one who made the deal with me was another disciple of your master. Danzo launched a conspiracy in the Rain Country just as the war was about to end. So he deserved to be killed by the people of the Rain Country. If you think about it carefully, the person who killed Danzo was your junior brother Nagato."

Jiraiya and Nagato shared this detailed information with Minato upon their return, and Konoha also obtained information about the Rinnegan and the gods. Therefore, Konoha didn't openly place a bounty on Lu Chen and V, nor did they pursue them. Because Jiraiya considered Nagato the child of destiny, Konoha didn't really care. Of course, this might also be related to Konoha's recent events.

Minato couldn't help but look into Lu Chen's eyes. Sure enough, everyone who knew that Lu Chen possessed the Rinnegan would look into his eyes first.

"What do you want to do by coming to see me now?"

Killing Danzo was not out of the question for Konoha, and Sasuke was not hunted down after killing Danzo. Of course, this was mainly because the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out and Naruto protected Sasuke.

Lu Chen believed that they would not make things difficult for him. Although no one would protect him, Konoha now probably did not want to feel pain.

"I promised Nagato something, and now I'm going to go find him after I've finished it. I heard from Orochimaru that he and Jiraiya went to Mount Myoboku. My companions need and don't want to stay in a secret underground organization all the time. I don't think there's any conflict between me and Konoha, so I want to stay in Konoha for a while."

Minato didn't care whether this reason was true or false. Instead, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Lu Chen and said, "Welcome to join Konoha. After you join Konoha, you can freely promote the god you believe in here."

Just as Hashirama invited those esoteric families to join Konoha, Minato now also extended an invitation to Lu Chen. He did not mention the dead Danzo at all.

As a legendary ninja who rose from a commoner to Hokage, Minato possesses a unique charm.

Lu Chen looked at the beaming Minato and mentally exclaimed, "Fuck!" Was he using his mouth to trick him? It's very possible that Naruto inherited his skills from him. Lu Chen hesitated at the invitation, remembering that he had just beaten up two of Minato's disciples. They couldn't say it, but this wasn't a good idea.

So Lu Chen politely declined, saying, "I don't want to get involved in the conflict between the hidden villages."

Minato didn't feel offended. He continued enthusiastically, "Then please feel free to move around in Konoha. After you feel the will of fire, you will definitely choose to join us."

He believed that as long as Lu Chen understood the Will of Fire, he would definitely join Konoha because he was the Hokage here.

Lu Chen also believed that as Hokage, Minato should be able to lead Konoha to a different ending as long as nothing goes wrong. The courage he exudes is much stronger than that of the Third Hokage who struggled to maintain Konoha's stability.

If it was Hiruzen facing him right now, he definitely wouldn't have the courage to reach out to Lu Chen. The old man was already beginning to show signs of decay. All he could do was barely maintain Konoha.

Facing the goodwill shown by Minato, Lu Chen nodded and said, "Then I will move freely in Konoha. You can rest assured that I will never do anything detrimental to Konoha."

Although Lu Chen and V were planning to steal Fugaku's Sharingan, this would likely benefit Konoha. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Second Hokage about this. He absolutely supports this.

Seeing that Lu Chen and Minato had reached a consensus, Orochimaru said goodbye and said, "Okay, I've done my job. You guys can continue chatting."

He also needs to study V's cells carefully. At the same time, he has found a very good seedling in the orphanage. He only needs to train him well and he will definitely be able to put him to use. It seems that V can no longer be relied upon.

After Orochimaru turned and left, Minato said goodbye to Lu Chen, "Please feel free to explore Konoha. I can also arrange accommodation for you if necessary."

His work is also very busy. After pacifying the Uchiha clan, he also needs to pacify the Hyuga clan.

Lu Chen declined the offer: "I'd better live in Orochimaru's territory. I've been staying at his place recently, so there's no need to move."

Minato stood up and said to Lu Chen, "Please have fun here. If you need anything, you can come find me."

Lu Chen had one last question: "I need to find Nagato, can you help me contact Jiraiya?"

"Okay, I'll help you contact them."

After saying that, Minato turned and walked towards the door. This was not a difficult task for him.

Several masked men followed Minato and walked away.
