Naruto Uchiha Rong Lin

So that's how it is. Only now did Rongzai understand. It was actually arranged by Tsunade.

Aren't the two of them getting along very unpleasantly now?

The number of times they meet is getting fewer and fewer. If this continues, there is absolutely only one path: each going their separate ways, each looking for their own mother!

"Mm, a little late."

Kato Dan saw Rongzai's expression change, quickly recovered, and said with a smile. He casually nodded at Rongzai as if it were nothing, and Rongzai also just nodded as if it were nothing.

Others don't care about themselves, why should I force myself to put on a brave face and accommodate them?

Regarding the issue between Kato Dan and Tsunade, strictly speaking, Rongzai didn't do anything bad in between. He just said some amusing things at the beginning, that's all. Who knew things would develop to this point? Who can be blamed?

It's clear that Kato Dan is pushing all the responsibility onto himself. Rongzai naturally cannot tolerate this kind of thing falling onto himself. Being a scapegoat is unacceptable!

"I believe everyone here knows each other, so I won't say much. Since everyone is together as companions, then we must treat each other seriously and get along well. After all, during the execution of our missions, we need to rely on each other. I don't want to see some problems that shouldn't appear actually appearing."

The time for joking was over. Minato immediately became like a different person, becoming serious and handling matters officially.

Minato knew a little about the relationship between Rongzai and Kato Dan. Regarding Kato Dan putting the blame on Rongzai, Minato expressed his speechlessness. He couldn't blame others for his own poor emotional management. And the other party was still just a child!

Minato absolutely couldn't do what Kato Dan was doing.

Rongzai and Kato Dan nodded one after another to express agreement. Neither of them had any intention of clashing with the other.

Being in the same small squad, meeting face to face instead of looking down. Getting along unpleasantly is not good for anyone. Rongzai expressed indifference about this. It was just that Kato Dan wanted to get along unpleasantly. He didn't mind getting along unpleasantly with the other party and seeing who would be more embarrassed.

A person in their thirties and an eight-year-old child getting along unpleasantly is definitely the child getting scolded.

"The Third Hokage put us together. I think he had his reasons. From today onwards, we are one body. The mission has been accepted. I will tell you the details on the way. Let's depart now. The squad's action is very fast."

Minato's goal is Hokage. He will not allow himself to be too casual. Only by constantly working hard can he obtain that longed-for position.

After a simple introduction, the three left the village.

"A-rank mission. I believe that with the squad's strength, the mission is not difficult. However, unforeseen circumstances might arise. I hope everyone can be careful. Our destination is the Land of Lightning, to infiltrate a base and steal a document."

On the surface, the various great nations seem peaceful, but the hidden conflicts among them have never ceased. Even among allies, such problems exist.

The villages of the various great nations also tacitly allow certain things to be carried out secretly, as it would be better. As for casualties, look at the strength of the other party.

If something is stolen, it means your men are incompetent. If a ninja dies in battle, it means he himself didn't learn well; don't blame others.

Of course, when such things happen, the village will treat the deceased seriously, but how many can bring back the bodies if the mission fails?

More often, they use some clothes to replace the person for burial, that's all.

Teammate casualties are very common. For example, Minato has had many teammates replaced. It happened not long ago; that greatly changed Rongzai, who happened to be coming out of the hospital.

The distance from Konoha to the Land of Lightning is not generally close. Fortunately, everyone is not ordinary people and moves very quickly. Compared to when they were with Tsunade's team, it's not just a little bit faster.

Minato is very casual in private and can chat and laugh with anyone. But once he starts doing things, he changes. Kato Dan has always had a cold face. The male god who used to always wear a gentle smile now can't even smile a little. As for Rongzai, he casually follows behind the two.

"You two (caci)* are seniors, you lead me, let me save some effort!"

From Konoha to the Land of Lightning, they still needed to pass through the territories of three small countries. The three hurried along the way, their speed never dropping. Originally, Minato was a little worried about whether Rongzai could keep up, but he quickly realized he had worried too much. No matter what speed he and Kato Dan advanced at, Rongzai was able to follow behind unhurriedly, not showing any tired expression at all.

This allowed Minato, who was a little cautious, to boldly increase their speed. As for Kato Dan, he wished Rongzai would quickly run out of stamina and collapse.

Stealing documents is a mission that needs to be completed as quickly as possible. There can be no delay, otherwise, the intelligence obtained will become outdated. This might cause the squad executing the mission to fall into danger due to outdated information.

Three days later, the three entered the territory of the Land of Lightning and quickly headed towards their destination.

"The base is just ahead. Everyone take a break to replenish your stamina and act in the best condition. I don't want to see anyone overly exhausted, affecting the mission."

Less than five kilometers from the base, the three stopped to rest for a while. This distance was just right. Too far would require backtracking; too close could lead to being discovered by the opponent. The presence of sensor-type ninjas in such a place makes it easy to be discovered.

Rongzai and Kato Dan silently took out dry food and water and began to replenish their strength.

After casually eating a few bites of dry food, Rongzai sat down to the side, closed his eyes, and rested. Minato was the captain, so his mission was the most important. He needed to decide how to enter the base. As for Kato Dan, he started chatting with Minato. Not to mention, if he hadn't been disliked by Tsunade, Kato Dan's ability was not bad.

Rongzai didn't join in. For this kind of thing, it's fine to let Minato and Kato Dan decide.

"Dan and I will be responsible for infiltrating the base. Rongzai, you'll be the strategist."

Soon after the two discussed, the result came out, and it left Rongzai speechless. This seemed to imply a sense of contempt for himself!

Strategist? Why don't you just say I'll stand guard and watch you two act, and that'll be fine?

If it were someone else, they might get angry because of this, but Rongzai wouldn't. If you guys handle everything, that's even better. I can just rest. I can complete the mission without fighting. What's wrong with that?

"No problem."

Rongzai had no objection to Minato's arrangement.

Actually, this arrangement was the result of Kato Dan suggesting it to Minato. The reason is simple. Rongzai is too young, and lacks experience and strength. He needs to learn more.
