What gave him some peace of mind was that even if he released some information, Uchiha Rong Lin showed no impatience, or even any action.
Apart from some rumors, Uchiha had no other movements. If Uchiha were to join in, then it would be troublesome.
Although it was troublesome, it was a step in the Third Hokage's plan. Unfortunately, he miscalculated. Uchiha was very quiet, and Rong Lin was even quieter, as if the conversation on the Hokage Rock that day had never happened.
Looking at the office door, the Third Hokage sighed and withdrew his gaze.
āāāāTime Skipāāāā
Time flew by. The 43rd year of Konoha slowly arrived. For others, it was a new year, but for Rong Lin, it was a year full of opportunities. Sasori of the Red Sand, I wonder if you are prepared?
Life in the Anbu was very boring, at least Rong Lin thought so. In a few months, the First Squad went out on missions no more than five times. Although the number of times was not many, Rong Lin also witnessed Sakumo Hatake's so-called arduous missions.
The first mission directly led to the squad replacing new members.
It was true that the squad had two Kage-level powerhouses, but Rong Lin and Sakumo Hatake were not gods!
They couldn't take care of everyone. In a clash with the Hidden Stone ninjas, a teammate was sacrificed. The teammate who usually joked and laughed beside them, and whose strength was not bad, was suddenly gone. This had no small impact on the First Anbu Squad.
If it weren't for Rong Lin taking more attacks, the casualties would have been even greater.
In that battle, even the powerful Sakumo Hatake suffered no small injuries. The other side also did not fare well, sacrificing many people, especially those who died at the hands of Sakumo Hatake and Rong Lin.
After the first mission, Rong Lin entered the eyes of these villages. For this Leaf Anbu ninja wearing a Nine-Tails mask, people from the great nations' villages became wary. At the same time, they also gathered information from various sources. Rong Lin's information did not remain hidden for long and appeared on the other party's desk, marked as a dangerous individual.
"Lord Rong Lin, Lord Hokage has summoned you."
In Konoha, being addressed as "Lord" was only possible if one's information was classified as S-rank.
Had that incident come to pass?
Today was his day off. If there was nothing out of the ordinary, the Third Hokage wouldn't mobilize him at this time and have him return to the squad. Sakumo Hatake had a mission, so if there was a special mission, the most suitable candidate was Rong Lin.
"I'll be right there."
Whether that incident had erupted or not would be clear once he reached the Hokage's office. Rong Lin quickly changed his clothes and informed Uchiha Diqin that he had a mission and needed to leave.
As time passed, Uchiha Diqin's changes slowly grew. Now, you would no longer see any trace of a princess's ailment on her.
The reputation of the Uchiha clan's talented girl gradually grew loud. Under Rong Lin's targeted training, Uchiha Diqin's strength grew rapidly.
This made many Uchiha people both admire and envy her. Many people once wanted to use their status to ask Rong Lin to teach their children, but they were all rejected by Rong Lin due to lack of time.
This year was Shisui's birth year. Uchiha Mikoto's belly grew larger and larger. This incredible person who would personally destroy the entire clan was about to be born. However, what left Rong Lin speechless was that Uchiha Fugaku actually took an interest in him!!!
Was he just like an ordinary teacher?
Rong Lin could only smile wryly at this. Shisui was about to be born, and Shisui Uchiha was messing around in the village all day, without any of the future Shisui's famous teleportation.
Speaking of which, it's truly unbelievable that Shisui and Shisui became friends. If the age gap is too large, there will be a generation gap. Once there is a generation gap, there is no common language. If there is no common language, it will only create the uncomfortable imagination of looking at each other twice, let alone becoming close friends.
And Shisui had even been Shisui's teacher!
It was equivalent to being both a teacher and a friend.
Uchiha Shisui, he really didn't know what Uchiha Fugaku was thinking, to make him Shisui's teacher?
Recalling Uchiha Fugaku's hint that day, Rong Lin couldn't help but smile wryly. He almost wanted to tell Uchiha Fugaku, if you have a daughter, I can consider it. But that kid, who hadn't even been born yet, was not a girl but a boy, and an incredible boy at that.
"Lord Hokage."
After changing clothes, Rong Lin quickly arrived at the Hokage's office building.
"This is the latest intelligence. A large number of Hidden Sand ninjas have appeared on the border of the Land of Fire. Sakumo Hatake is on an external mission, so I hope you can go and investigate, collecting relevant intelligence. We must know immediately why so many people have appeared on the border of the Land of Fire."
The Third Hokage didn't say an extra word and directly assigned the mission to Rong Lin.
It was true. Rong Lin's heart trembled slightly, his expression unchanged. After receiving the mission, he left the Hokage's office.
Does intelligence still need to be collected?
It was very clear that the Third Kazekage had been ambushed by Sasori of the Red Sand, making the Hidden Sand villagers believe that the Third Kazekage had disappeared. Therefore, under the premise of not leaking any information, he desperately searched for traces of the Third Kazekage.
Under such a large-scale search, it was reasonable for them to appear on the border of the Land of Fire after crossing the small intermediate countries.
If the leader of a village disappeared, these Hidden Sand ninjas would be in a frantic state. If they weren't worried about causing misunderstandings, they would definitely enter the Land of Fire's border to search immediately.
Rong Lin hadn't expected such a mission to fall on him. This way, he could also do some things that would benefit him in the shadows, such as fanning the flames for these Hidden Sand ninjas.
The Hidden Sand Village ninjas searched everywhere, eventually leaving in disappointment. This was not the outcome Rong Lin wanted to see.
What he wanted was to trigger the outbreak of war.
This would lead to many tragic deaths. In the original work, the marathon-style war between the Leaf Village and the Land of Wind dragged the Leaf Village directly into a deep abyss of weakness, consuming countless resources, sacrificing countless ninjas, and breaking up countless families. Even refugees appeared.
People don't plan against heaven and earth for themselves! Rong Lin was not a soft-hearted person. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't secretly promote the outbreak of certain things.
"I hope you can be more proactive. Don't make me a villain who causes destruction everywhere."
