Chapter 215 Go Undercover in Akatsuki
After walking out of the dungeon, Lu Li looked up at the sun in the sky and breathed a breath of free air.

The Hidden Cloud Village is surrounded by mountains and layers of clouds, which is quite a wonder.

After leaving the dungeon, people on the street pointed at Lu Li when they saw him. Some ninjas who had participated in the Third Ninja World War recognized Lu Li and looked at him with either resentment or fear.

Lu Li didn't care about the gazes of the crowd. His reputation in the Hidden Cloud Village was so low at the beginning, but he got this identity. Lu Li guessed that it had something to do with his new bloodline and the title of natural disaster.

This identity may seem bad, but according to his experience in the previous world, sometimes if one goes to jail well, one can also gain great benefits.

But the situation is different from that in the One Piece world, where he is a real war criminal. The worldview of Naruto is heavier than that of Pirates, and people have relatively normal IQs.

Therefore, the Raikage would not allow himself to be 'fooled', and he had no intention of providing construction for the other party, because it would not bring any benefits to him.

If he helps Kaido conquer Wano Country, he can also learn Haki by using various fruits. If he hangs out with the Raikage, he can only learn the Lightning Release Chakra mode at most.

Therefore, in a world like Naruto where wars are constant, the only way to gain more benefits and more world exploration is to keep stirring up trouble.

Since there is no main quest, he doesn't have a clear goal for the time being. He plans to see what the Raikage says before considering how to get out.

His strength is now incomparable to before. Even in the era of Naruto, he is considered a strong man. The world is so big that he can go anywhere.

Oh, it's only limited to this era. After all, Naruto's combat power is also extremely strong.

Lu Li followed behind Samui. Samui was probably concerned that he was tied up and it was inconvenient for him to move, so he did not use Ninja Running to travel quickly. It took him more than half an hour to reach the Raikage office building.

Although Samui was walking in front during the whole process, she never relaxed her vigilance against Lu Li. Only until she brought him in front of the Raikage did she feel relieved.

She became an elite jonin at the age of 21, and as the confidant of the Raikage, she is considered an elite upper-class person in the Hidden Cloud Village. However, when she participated in the Third Ninja World War eight years ago, she was only a chuunin, which was a bit weaker than the criminal she brought up this time.

This was a Konoha War hero who had gained a "name" on the battlefield. In that era, he was a famous figure second only to the Golden Flash. Because of his powerful swordsmanship and Thunder Release Bloodline Limit, no one survived wherever he passed on the battlefield, hence the name Natural Disaster.

"Lord Raikage, the natural disaster Lu Li is here."

Samui knocked on the office door and made a report.

After getting permission, she opened the door and walked into the office with Lu Li.

Lu Li braced himself as he walked into the office. He had already used lightning to destroy the inside of the seal on the way, so the cloth wrapped around his body was just ordinary cloth. If a fight came to a head, he could fight at any time.

The sealing technique of the Hidden Cloud Village is mainly aimed at sealing chakra, but his lightning does not require chakra to drive it at all. He is the user of the Thunder God Fruit, so he can naturally produce lightning directly. The nature of the soul source is slightly different from chakra.

If you must say, the soul source is more like the natural energy of the fairy arts in this world, so the sealing technique used by the Hidden Cloud Village on itself was wrong.

After entering the office, Lu Li looked at the man behind the long table. He was wearing a white Thunder Shadow cloak and had dark skin, looking healthy as if he had been tanned by the sun.

The man had a strong body, and the muscles on his bare chest were clearly angular, revealing the violent power hidden within his body.

The Fourth Raikage Ai, who is nearly two meters tall, looks very tall even when sitting. However, in the eyes of Lu Li, who had just experienced the baptism of height in One Piece, he looked ordinary.

Seeing Samui and Lu Li arrive, the Raikage stopped the work in his hands, put the documents aside, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not the kind of person who liked to do clerical work all the time.

Ai stood up, holding the long table with both hands and looking at Lu Li, "Tian Zai, I will ask you one last time, do you want to join the Hidden Cloud Village?"

"What if I say no?"

On the surface, Lu Li adhered to his character and acted as a strong-willed hero of Konoha, but in fact, he wanted to observe the reaction of the Raikage.

According to the information he had obtained in the trading market before, the Naruto world is different from the One Piece world he visited last time. It is not a newly reset world. In other words, explorers have already visited this world and some plots may have been changed.

The Raikage called out this long-forgotten death row prisoner at this time. It should not be just a casual question, but because he had a practical need and wanted to entrust him with something.

"Then you will be executed tomorrow."

Ai stared at Lu Li's pupils, and the small mustaches at the corners of his mouth moved slightly. He was an irritable man and seemed to have little patience in the face of Lu Li's rejection.

"Just tell me what you want me to do. I'll listen and think about it."

Lu Li said that he wanted to negotiate for some benefits instead of just being a dog for the other party as soon as Ai opened his mouth. If he didn't get respect and benefits, he could easily kill his way out of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Boy, you are so arrogant. Do you think it was eight years ago? You have been in prison for so long. Your body must have become rusty by now, right?"

Ai spoke in a low voice. Of course, he was not a simple reckless man as he looked after becoming the Raikage. He was also smart and knew that Lu Li was negotiating with him. If he followed Lu Li's words, Lu Li would ask for a huge amount of money.

He said this to suppress Lu Li's value and make Lu Li understand his current situation.

He was the one holding the knife, and Lu Li was just the fish on the chopping board.

"I almost forgot. I seem to have been defeated by your men. I was captured by you eight years ago."

Lu Li said with a smile.

Ai frowned, he heard the provocation, which was saying that he and Kirabi had to work together to defeat Lu Li, which was not glorious enough.

But what is there to say about fighting alone in the world of ninja? What glory is there? Winning is glory, and he didn't think he would lose to Lu Li in a single fight, but he and Killer Bee fought together because they wanted to capture him alive. Lu Li's rebellious attitude was within Ai's expectations. After all, they had tortured Lu Li for a long time over the years and conducted some experiments on him. It was normal for Lu Li to hate them.

But Ai believed that Lu Li, who had been imprisoned for eight years, had lost a lot of his edges. As long as he offered a high enough price, Lu Li could be used by him.

After all, Lu Li is a criminal wanted by various countries and the most wanted criminal in Konoha. Even if he can escape from prison, where can he go?
In the entire world, only Yunyin has the strength, courage and resolution to accept Lu Li. The so-called rebel ninjas are not such mysterious and advanced beings, and most of them live a miserable life.

"Do you know Akatsuki?"

Ai proposed a term that made Lu Li believe that there might be some plot changes in this world.

"Akatsuki? Never heard of it."

Lu Li said that with his identity, he should not know the information of Akatsuki. After all, Akatsuki only started to become active after the Third Ninja World War.

"That is a mercenary organization that gathers rebel ninjas from various ninja villages. They are very powerful and are hired by various countries to carry out military operations. They are very troublesome."

Ai got angry when he mentioned Akatsuki, and his anger showed on his face. He pounded the table with his hand, and the whole room shook. "That old man Ohnoki has hired Akatsuki to harass us many times!"

"So, what does this have to do with me?"

Lu Li shrugged, looking as if it was none of his business.

"Lu Li, I can give you freedom and give you the status and treatment of the Anbu of the Hidden Cloud Village. I need you to join the Akatsuki organization and help the Hidden Cloud Village monitor this dangerous organization."

The Raikage said straight to the point.

Lu Li looked strange when he heard this, "I joined the Akatsuki organization to help you collect intelligence? Why?"

"It seems that you don't understand your own situation at all. You haven't committed suicide in all these years, which means you want to live. But you have to know that you can't go back to Konoha. Without the endorsement and protection of Kumogakure, you will be hunted down by Konoha ninjas as soon as you step out of the border."

The Raikage said in a deep voice, "Only Kumogakure can give you a new identity. Isn't the treatment from the Anbu enough?"

Lu Li looked amused, "Anbu? Is this considered good treatment? Is this a benefit you're giving me?"

The Raikage's face darkened, and he suppressed his rage, "Boy, don't push your luck!"

Samyi stood aside without saying a word, looking at Lu Li coldly. She also felt that Lu Li was a little shameless.

You have to know that the Anbu is a "senior position" in the ninja village, directly under the Kage, and is considered a very promising job with good salary and benefits. How can it not be considered a benefit?

"You tortured and imprisoned me for so many years, and you just gave me a job and want to move on? Do you think I would be the kind of person who would be satisfied with just a job in the Anbu?"

Lu Li asked back, thinking that the Raikage's idea was too naive.

It is true that he is a rebel ninja and homeless, but if you want to drive him now, you must have more interests tied to him. Otherwise, who would help you do such a dangerous job?

When Ai heard Lu Li's words, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, "Tell me, what do you want?"

He didn't really expect to be able to persuade Lu Li, but he just remembered that there was such a person as Lu Li, so he called him over to give it a try. If it didn't work, he would kill Lu Li and replace him with someone else.

But he didn't expect that Lu Li actually wanted to propose conditions himself, which showed that Lu Li's loyalty to Konoha had wavered.

After a series of conversations, Lu Li's meaning was very clear, that is, the asking price was not high enough. If Lu Li could be satisfied, he would be willing to work for Yunyin.

"I want all the lightning escape techniques of the Hidden Cloud Village."

Lu Li opened his mouth and put forward his own conditions.

"impossible!"

Ai refused without even thinking, and angrily slammed the table, "What do you think the secret technique is!? It is the foundation of the village! It involves all the families, how can it be handed over to outsiders?"

Lu Li looked at the excited Raikage and said with a smile, "You can't make decisions for the other families in the Hidden Cloud Village, but Lord Raikage, you can make decisions for yourself, right? Your Lightning Chakra Mode looks pretty good to me, how about giving it to me?"

Upon hearing this, Ai's brows were furrowed almost together. He turned over, crossed the long table, and stood three meters in front of Lu Li. Chakra surged in his body, and it was obvious that Lu Li had exhausted his patience.

The Lightning Release Chakra Mode, also known as the Lightning Release Armor, can be regarded as a secret technique passed down from generation to generation in the Raikage lineage. It is a technique that only those who become Raikage or those preparing to become Raikage can learn.

Not to mention that Lu Li was a traitor who he was not sure whether he could return to his loyalty in the future, he would not teach him even if he was his disciple or confidant.

"You are too greedy, Scourge. This name will become history today."

As Ai spoke, thunder began to surge around him.

This surprised Samui who was standing nearby, because she felt the murderous intent from Lord Raikage. As the Raikage, was he going to execute Lu Li personally?
"Greedy? It's just that you think I'm not worth the price."

Lu Li sneered, "You want me to help you investigate the Akatsuki organization, but you're not willing to give me the secret technique I want. You probably just treat me as cannon fodder, right? Why, do you feel sorry for the ninjas from your own village to do such a mission to die?"

Under the shocked gazes of the Raikage and Samui, Lu Li exerted his strength and shattered the white cloth that sealed his body. "Since there is no room for negotiation, let's do it."
