"But Uchiha Diqin's arrival wasn't in the script at all, okay?!"
Looking at Uchiha Diqin, who stood in front of him with a mischievous smile, slender and graceful, Ronglin's head ached:
"Alright, since you're here, there's nothing I can say. Lord Jiraiya also meant well. If I'm not mistaken, you didn't discuss coming to the front lines with your sister and father, did you?"
"Of course not."
Uchiha Diqin puffed out her cheeks: "If I told them, they would definitely make me stay in the village like a good girl, and I don't want that! I want to fight with you, to become stronger together, I don't want to be a burden to you!!!"
"..."
When a girl disregards her own life, runs to the front lines—a front line where war could erupt at any moment—and says such words to you, can you still be heartless enough to refuse?
Ronglin was also human, a normal person with emotions. Uchiha Diqin's actions moved him, but also made him feel helpless and amused.
"Alright, since you're already here, you can't just go back. I can accept you coming to the front lines, but you must stay with me. And if you want to become stronger, it will be very tough. This is the front lines, battles and wars can break out at any time. You might get injured, or even die!!!"
"Hmph~ Don't try to scare me. I wasn't raised to be easily scared. And don't think I don't know, your strength is formidable. As long as I don't run around recklessly, you won't let me get hurt."
Ronglin had still underestimated this girl's intelligence. Uchiha Diqin directly pierced through Ronglin's words with a single, sharp remark, leaving Ronglin utterly speechless in an instant.
"I know I might get hurt, and I might even face death, but I won't back down. What others can do, I, Uchiha Diqin, can do too!!!"
"I will prove that I can survive on the front lines, and not just be a flower in a greenhouse!!!"
Looking at Uchiha Diqin, who stood with her head held high and a determined fierceness, Ronglin could only nod with a wry smile:
"I understand. I will choose suitable opponents for you so you can fight as much as possible. Only battles of life and death can make strength grow rapidly. I hope you are mentally prepared."
"Always ready!!!"
Uchiha Diqin mischievously made a gesture. Both this phrase and the strange gesture were things she had learned from Ronglin.
"..."
Uchiha Diqin's arrival at the front lines was thus decided. Ronglin also kept her by his side at all times to prevent any accidents.
One must know that on the absolute front lines, Chunin and Elite Jonin were merely pawns. Ronglin dared not gamble with this girl's safety. However, after not seeing her for a while, this girl's development seemed to be getting better and better.
Seeing Ronglin staring at her, Uchiha Diqin's cheeks flushed, but inwardly she felt a sweet warmth.
Upon arriving at the front lines, Jiraiya quickly took over command from the temporary commander and began to make a series of arrangements.
It must be said that Jiraiya, having fought all the way through the Second Great Ninja War, was incredibly capable. His various targeted arrangements made the temporary Sarutobi clan commander's old face flush with embarrassment.
"Konoha's Jiraiya has already arrived at the front lines. This is very disadvantageous for us. I hope that suitable personnel can go to reinforce."
Konoha made a series of arrangements, and the Sand Village did the same. The ascension of the Fourth Kazekage was still in preparation, and all major and minor affairs were still handled by Chiyo. After some investigation and testing, Chiyo was also very satisfied with Rosha, the soon-to-be Fourth Kazekage.
Unfortunately, it was still too early for Rosha to gain enough power. Currently, all these powers were in Chiyo's hands. Only after Rosha ascended and demonstrated sufficient capital would they be handed over to him little by little.
"Shahuang, I hope you can provide support."
Chiyo looked at the man in the conference room who had been silently covering his face with a veil.
Shahuang was one of the more low-key masters in the Sand Village, and also one of the few Kage-level powerhouses in the Sand Village. However, because he rarely appeared in a high-profile manner, the ninja of the village were not familiar with him; only high-ranking officials and some elders knew his background.
"Yes, Lady Chiyo."
Shahuang's voice was even more unpleasant than Chiyo's, even a bit jarring. Perhaps because he rarely spoke, Shahuang's speech gave the illusion of being unsmooth.
The jarring voice sounded as if not a person was speaking, but a puppet.
"But what about Uchiha Ronglin?"
The instructor who was temporarily in charge of the village's authority with Chiyo looked at Chiyo with some worry. One must know that on the front lines, not only was there an old veteran powerhouse like Jiraiya,
but also Konoha's new generation of powerful representatives—Uchiha Ronglin. If there wasn't enough strength to hold down the fort on the front lines, the battle would be very disadvantageous.
For example, before, when the two sides had roughly equal strength and a battle broke out, Uchiha Ronglin's sudden appearance caused the village to lose many people, especially several Elite Jonin, which made Chiyo and him incredibly distressed.
These were Elite Jonin!!!
They weren't so easy to train. Besides the most representative Kage and the few Kage-level powerhouses, a village had to rely on these Elite Jonin for support. But now, several were gone in just two days, and all of them died at the hands of one person.
How could Konoha produce such a monster?
Minato Namikaze was already abnormal enough. Now, an even more abnormal one had arrived. Once Susanoo was activated, he would simply sweep through an area.
Coupled with that bizarre power over time, even Elite Jonin would be instantly killed. How was one supposed to play like this?
Now, those ninja on the front lines were all in a state of panic, preferring to encounter veteran powerhouses like Jiraiya rather than fight against a heaven-defying enemy like Uchiha Ronglin.
No one wanted to die for no reason, especially in a way that offered no resistance at all. It was too humiliating and too terrifying,
so this gradually evolved into a strange phenomenon: once Uchiha Ronglin appeared, everyone in the vicinity would immediately choose to retreat rather than fight.
This phenomenon gradually spread from the Sand Village ninja to other ninja villages.
"Uchiha Ronglin!!!"
Mentioning this name, Chiyo almost lost control of her emotions. She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, and then said, "For now, that's how it is. The most pressing matter now is to quickly get the Fourth Kazekage to ascend."
