As if a flower had bloomed on the teacup.
"Sigh~~~"
The Third Hokage saw Ronglin's actions and knew that Ronglin clearly didn't want to talk, but the Third Hokage had to speak.
"Can you let it go?"
A long silence passed between them, then the Third Hokage spoke.
Ronglin looked up at the Third Hokage and gave him a very disappointing answer: "No!"
"If you're worried about me causing trouble, I can apply for a transfer, go out on missions, or take over tasks from others, even mentor new recruits."
Letting go of the feud with the Hyuga clan was absolutely impossible!
Not to mention the Third Hokage, even the King of Kings himself couldn't change Ronglin's mind.
Isn't it just a power struggle?
Who can't do it? You want me to let go of the feud with the Hyuga clan? Impossible. I won't participate in the war, is that acceptable? You can fight yourselves. I'm not much, but I'm not nothing.
In fact, Ronglin had waited for this day for too long. A power struggle could only be initiated at the right time, with the right excuse, otherwise, it would only cause a huge backlash.
Although doing so was a bit disloyal, even without the previous transfer, Ronglin would still directly challenge them in this way.
Since you compromised, you can't blame me for being ungrateful.
"We need your strength to fight the Hidden Mist Village this time."
Ronglin spoke casually, but the Third Hokage knew he was pressuring him.
Konoha was now facing the predicament of a three-front war, and high-end combat power was especially important. The reinforcement of any Kage-level expert could influence the progress of the war.
"The people from the great clans are enough, and Tsunade is also on the front line."
"I will go with the Uchiha and do my duty."
The timing on the Land of Wind battlefield was not ripe, so Ronglin didn't mind being the vanguard leading Konoha ninjas to battle. But now, they still wanted him to charge into battle? Dream on!
"If there's nothing else, I'd like to take my leave. I need to make some preparations to head to the Land of Water front."
No matter what the Third Hokage said, Ronglin would not make any compromises with the Hyuga.
I told you, there will be a day when you come begging me!
I hope you can do something practical. A three-front war... it's a bit different from the original, but (bfaa) it doesn't matter.
Who knows what Konoha will become after this great war? Will only one in ten ninjas remain? Among the Five Great Ninja Villages, Konoha's strength is the strongest,
and the number of ninjas is also the highest. But even so, it can't withstand the simultaneous attack of the three great ninja villages. This massive war will be exceptionally difficult.
In the original work, even though Konoha fought almost all the great ninja villages in turns, they had some time to breathe. But now, everything has changed. The Land of Wind battlefield is still in a stalemate,
and the Land of Earth and Land of Water have simultaneously declared war, meaning Konoha needs to commit all its available forces without any time to breathe.
Once one front collapses, without allies, Konoha will crumble repeatedly!
The collapse of one front will only lead to the defeat of other fronts.
"Have Tsunade come to the office."
Ronglin left, and the Third Hokage got the result he wanted.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
A figure quickly left. In the conference room, the Third Hokage stood up, by the window, silently watching Konoha.
--Divider--
"This time it's an all-out war for the Uchiha clan. Why are you looking at me like that?!"
Returning home, Ronglin found a little tail behind him: Uchiha Diqin.
Uchiha Diqin was worried that Ronglin would leave her at home. Last time, she acted first and reported later, directly following Jiraiya to the front line.
This time, she was going with the clan, and with Uchiha Fugaku and many clan elders, even her father, present, it wouldn't be easy for Uchiha Diqin to sneak out and follow them to the battlefield.
"The clan head and father will also depart together."
Uchiha Diqin looked pitifully at Ronglin, hoping he would take her with him. Uchiha Diqin knew very well that if she asked, her father and the clan head would definitely scold her severely, and then she would obediently go home.
Ronglin was different; if Ronglin was willing to take her, no one would have anything to say.
This girl!
Ronglin leaned against the wall, arms crossed, looking at her: "You want me to take you with me?"
"Mm-hmm."
Uchiha Diqin nodded her head like a pecking chick.
"Then I can't help you."
Ronglin wouldn't fall for her trick, and it wasn't suitable to take her to the battlefield this time. He still had too many things to deal with. Itachi Uchiha (berserk) and Impure World Reincarnation would start a battle.
Ronglin dared not be distracted on the battlefield.
"If you can get your sister's permission, I'll take you with me."
"What?!"
Getting Uchiha Mikoto's permission was as good as saying nothing, wasn't it?
Uchiha Diqin could completely imagine her sister's scolding would come as soon as she opened her mouth.
"That's something I can't decide. You figure out how to deal with the clan head."
With a mischievous smile that made Uchiha Diqin grit her teeth, Ronglin entered his room to organize his necessities. He didn't want to be on the battlefield for ten days to half a month without changing clothes or having no soap for bathing.
In just one afternoon, ninjas from various great clans who met the qualifications were selected and assembled. The next day, they departed with a small amount of supplies, heading to the front line at the fastest possible speed.
Konoha still had some arrangements for the Land of Earth direction, having deployed many troops to defend against a sudden attack from the Land of Earth.
However, the Land of Water front line was different, with no deployments whatsoever. If they didn't accelerate their pace, the border would fall prey to the Hidden Mist Village's plunder.
The Hidden Mist Village traveled across the sea to the continent to wage war, and the transportation of supplies was a major problem. If possible, the Hidden Mist Village would certainly not hesitate to plunder within the Land of Fire.
This would lead to devastation in the border villages.
This selection saw a total of over four thousand ninjas integrated. Besides some who followed to escort supplies, the vanguard numbered three thousand, advancing at the fastest possible speed with a small amount of supplies.
Uchiha Diqin ultimately stayed at home obediently. Ronglin did not take her to the front line. The person accompanying Ronglin was Shisui.
He took Shisui to give him enough training and allow his strength to grow rapidly.
