"I had something that day, so I didn't have time to go. Congratulations, Minato, on becoming a squad leader."
Rong Lin congratulated Minato with a forced smile, his eyes filled with warning. He implicitly told Minato to wait, that there would be a day when Minato would suffer.
"Ahem!!"
Minato coughed with a dry laugh. He admitted that he had intentionally exposed Rong Lin's identity before. Otherwise, if Rong Lin hadn't released his aura, even with a similar hairstyle and mask, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin wouldn't have thought too much. Rong Lin was essentially sold out by himself.
Of course, if you sell others, there will also be a day when you are sold! Rong Lin's gaze made Minato feel a little guilty.
"Let's go in quickly. The Hokage is already waiting for us."
Waving his hand, Minato interrupted the trio's desire to chat more with Rong Lin "167" and opened the office door.
The Hokage's office door opened, and Kakashi, Rin, and Obito all quieted down, obediently following their teacher Minato into the Hokage's office.
"Sigh..."
Watching the few people enter the Hokage's office, Rong Lin wished he could be in an ordinary squad like before. Unfortunately, an S-rank document made Rong Lin sell himself to ANBU, and now he could only endure it.
"What, are you not doing well in ANBU?"
A faint voice came from not far away. Rong Lin put away his random thoughts and replied indifferently: "ANBU is very good. You don't need to worry about anything else, Lord DanzĹŤ."
"What I told you has always been effective. Root welcomes your joining."
DanzĹŤ, leaning on his cane, walked to the front of the Hokage's office. His small eyes looked at Rong Lin. Rong Lin disdainfully pouted. It was rare that he even bothered to call him Lord DanzĹŤ. If Rong Lin wanted to, he could directly call him by his name.
DanzĹŤ was not his superior. As a member of the village who was also an S-rank ninja, it was perfectly fine for Rong Lin to directly call DanzĹŤ by his name.
He had only agreed to join ANBU a few days ago, and DanzĹŤ had already found him, hoping he would transfer from ANBU to Root, and promised him many benefits. Unfortunately, all were rejected by Rong Lin. However, it seemed that DanzĹŤ had not given up on the idea of transferring Rong Lin from ANBU to Root.
Without being too entangled, DanzĹŤ himself opened the Hokage's office door and walked in.
Looking at DanzĹŤ, who was covered in bandages, Rong Lin knew what was hidden beneath them. He shook his head. Rong Lin averted his gaze and thought to himself: "I only wish that the Hashirama cells on your body would mutate sooner, so you can experience being neither human nor ghost."
Unfortunately, DanzĹŤ wouldn't care about those things.
Hashirama's cells were not something everyone could bear. Rong Lin even suspected that DanzĹŤ's right arm now contained quite a few Sharingan. If not for the issue of unsuitability, this guy would probably have his whole body covered in Sharingan, becoming an absolute monster.
Compared to the Byakugan, obtaining the Sharingan had many more ways. Obtaining the Sharingan was not very difficult. With DanzĹŤ's methods, obtaining the Sharingan was not a problem.
Rong Lin even felt DanzĹŤ staring at his own eyes. It was obvious that he was eyeing his MangekyĹŤ.
I am not Uchiha Shisui. If you want my MangekyĹŤ, I will kill you first!!!
However, Uchiha Shisui was also quite tragic. He had a pair of abnormal MangekyĹŤ, but in his carelessness and disbelief, he was directly dug out one eye by DanzĹŤ. If he hadn't gouged out his other eye and given it to Itachi, DanzĹŤ probably wouldn't have let him go either.
For the village?
Was it worth sacrificing oneself for the village?
Rong Lin truly didn't understand what these people, whose mouths were full of village slogans, were thinking in their heads. If someone forced Rong Lin to that point, Rong Lin would rather become Orochimaru and return to take revenge.
The village would not become a sacrifice for the village's development.
To expect me to unconditionally sacrifice myself for the village is simply dreaming!!!
Soon, an argument broke out in the office. It was obvious that DanzĹŤ and the Third Hokage had a disagreement over some matter, so an argument occurred. This kind of thing was very normal, at least for Rong Lin.
"Hmph!! Hiruzen Sarutobi, you will regret this."
A long while later, the argument ended. DanzĹŤ left the Hokage's office with a face full of anger, not forgetting to glare at Rong Lin. This made Rong Lin only sigh inwardly, thinking they were all just actors.
It was not easy to make DanzĹŤ show anger. This guy was obviously faking it. As for what they were arguing about, Rong Lin just smiled and said nothing. Sure enough, to be a candidate for the Fourth Hokage, you still needed a say and someone to support you. To get Orochimaru into power, DanzĹŤ was truly desperate.
The cause of the argument was that DanzĹŤ proposed to the Third Hokage to give Orochimaru a position with purchasing power, but the Third Hokage refused, so the argument began.
DanzĹŤ had always supported Orochimaru, hoping that Orochimaru could become the Fourth Hokage. This way, he could indirectly grasp more power and a say. Unfortunately, Orochimaru wanted some power from the Third Hokage, which was a bit difficult.
Don't think that because something is deeply hidden, it won't be discovered. Having been in the Hokage position for so many years, the Third Hokage's management skills were no joke.
If Orochimaru was really hiding that deeply, would those things hidden by DanzĹŤ have been discovered?
Fortunately, Orochimaru was relatively responsible. He betrayed the village when he was discovered, and did not drag DanzĹŤ into it. Otherwise, DanzĹŤ's life would not have been easy, and it would even affect the Shimura clan behind him.
After DanzĹŤ left, a short while later, Minato also left the Hokage's office with the three members of Team Minato. It's just that his face was not very good. Sure enough, things related to interests could also hurt someone like Minato, causing pain in his heart.
Fight, the more fiercely you fight, the lighter the burden on my shoulders.
Looking at Minato's departing back, Rong Lin's handsome face under his mask curved into a smile. The more fierce the struggle between Minato and DanzĹŤ, the easier it would be to ignore himself. This was what Rong Lin wanted to see. Although Minato's and Orochimaru's strength had a great advantage, who could predict the outcome until the very end?
Inside the office, the Third Hokage's face was very grim. If the anger on DanzĹŤ's face was faked, then the Third Hokage was truly angry. DanzĹŤ doing this was equivalent to trying to disrupt his arrangements. This was something the Third Hokage would not permit.
