"That little bit of wine isn't even enough for ants to drink!!!"
Shisui raised his hand and slapped him on the head, laughing dryly. As long as Ronglin wasn't angry, it was fine.
"Alright, I won't say more. I believe you've already learned some of the truth. I just hope that in the future, you can approach everything and everyone with a normal heart, and not just focus on appearances. What you see on the surface isn't necessarily real!!!"
Ronglin waved his hand and said:
"Also, you don't need to apologize to me, because you didn't wrong me. The person you should apologize to is Lao Qi. Your actions can hurt others. Don't drink again. At least before your body develops at twelve, I don't want to see you drinking again. It has a huge impact on your body."
"Furthermore, tell those old ruffians that if anyone drinks in the camp, I'll make them taste horse piss! This is a camp!!"
Shisui was the type to develop late. At seven years old, he was tiny, similar to Kakashi. It was best not to touch alcohol before his body developed, as it was harmful in a hundred ways and beneficial in none.
"Yes!!! My lord, I will never drink again!! I will also convey your words to all the senior ruffians without fail!"
Shisui shouted happily.
"Get out of here."
Ronglin cursed with a smile, and Shisui left, grinning all the way.
What Ronglin didn't expect was that his words had a great impact on Shisui. From then on, Shisui never touched alcohol again. No matter the occasion, even at his wedding, if anyone dared to pressure him to drink, he would immediately get angry.
He himself didn't drink, and he also influenced Itachi, who followed him, to become a teetotaler, as if alcohol was the most poisonous substance in the world.
Back in his tent, Ronglin lay down directly, stretched his arm, and muttered: "I didn't do anything much, yet I feel a little tired. Playing young these days is also a technical job."
However, Hyūga, I hope you can handle it, and not be chased like headless chickens by the enemy in a few days.
Such a mission would not be easy to complete. Not to mention that those who infiltrated had good strength, and once the enemy discovered Konoha's movements, they would definitely send powerful enemies with large numbers to encircle them.
At that time, it was unknown who would be unlucky.
And since the Hyūga clan accepted the mission, the Uchiha clan would not participate. Ronglin was not worried that the Uchiha clan would suffer heavy losses because of this.
I wonder how many of your Hyūga clan's elite Jonin will be lost! With a schadenfreude mindset, Ronglin waited to watch the show, to see if the Hyūga clan was powerful, or if Kirigakure was even more formidable.
The special squad was formed that very day, with six members. Half of them belonged to the Hyūga clan, and the other three were selected from other clans.
With an extremely heavy mission, the special squad left the camp and headed for that dangerous area where support was hard to come by.
Inside the camp, the patrol squads also began reorganization. In addition to replenishing personnel, the strength of the patrol squads also increased. A squad that originally consisted of one Special Jonin and two Chunin transformed into one generally led by a Jonin, with a Special Jonin accompanying, and Chunin and Elite Chunin being transferred within the camp.
Among all the squads, only Ronglin's remained unchanged. He still led Shisui and Lao Qi, which made other squads envious. With someone like Ronglin leading them, they didn't have to worry about ambushes when encountering enemies and could also earn extra battle merits.
Unfortunately, envy was useless. A patrol squad only had three people. Even if others were envious, they couldn't join.

"Everyone, Konoha has now learned of our strategy and has begun to take precautions. The patrol's strength has increased, their numbers have grown, and the Hyūga clan's reconnaissance has become stricter. Our ambush has been effective, killing many Konoha ninja."
At this moment, in a command center of a camp near the sea, the high-ranking officials of Kirigakure were holding a meeting.
"I believe that as long as we can unite, we will eventually be able to defeat Konoha!!!"
On the main seat, the Third Mizukage continuously encouraged everyone, firmly believing that Kirigakure would achieve victory!
Not long ago, Sunagakure, which had been constantly oppressed by Konoha's offensive, sent envoys to discuss with Iwagakure. After paying some price, they persuaded Iwagakure to declare war on Konoha, and Ōnoki of Iwagakure, also used a little trick, bringing in the Land of Water, which had been very active in naval visits recently.
Originally, Ōnoki just had a tentative mindset, but wanting to take a bite out of the Land of Fire had always been something the Third Mizukage considered. The two sides hit it off, and after a period of discussion, reached an agreement to declare war on Konoha simultaneously.
However, regarding the timing of the declaration of war, the Third Mizukage used a little trick, wanting Iwagakure to declare war first, and then act after Konoha made corresponding countermeasures, catching Konoha off guard.
Unfortunately, Konoha's actions were too fast. Under extremely difficult circumstances, they directly split their forces into two routes, causing Kirigakure to lose a good opportunity to plunder resources.
The Third Mizukage simply asked Ōnoki for supplies while adopting a steady and aggressive strategy.
He firmly believed that as long as the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth tied up Konoha's energy, and he harassed them from the side, Konoha would surely lose!
With this idea, a series of disgusting strategies followed.
They didn't advance rashly, instead shrouding the surroundings in mist, dispatching small teams to bypass Konoha's reconnaissance and conduct ambushes and sabotage in the rear. Although Konoha made many adjustments, they still suffered considerable losses.
This further confirmed to the Third Mizukage that his strategy was correct. Grandiose decisive battles with Konoha should be left to Iwagakure and Sunagakure. Kirigakure, having traveled across the sea, could not withstand such attrition.
"However, Mizukage-sama, dissatisfaction has already come from Iwagakure, believing that we are too cautious and should be more aggressive, further pressuring Konoha."
"Hmph!!"
His subordinate's reminder made the Third Mizukage coldly snort:
"Ōnoki just hopes that we and Konoha will fight to the death, while he finds an opportunity to attack from the side and maximize his profits, making us his pawns."
"Tell him that we are working hard and have also tied up most of Konoha's effective forces. If, under these circumstances, he still cannot expand the results of the battle, it only means that his Ōnoki and Iwagakure's strength are insufficient."
