[It seemed that from today onwards, the original Minato Squad would see its strength plummet due to Minato and his own departure.]
[Originally in Konoha, the Minato Squad was considered a top-tier team, but now that Minato has left, and Ronglin is also leaving, it means the Minato Squad will be taken over by Kato Dan, and two new members will join.]
[Ronglin originally thought he would continue to stay in the Minato Squad, but the Third Hokage's plan shattered everything.]
[Ronglin had left the Minato Squad to join the Anbu, but his reporting date hadn't arrived yet, so he was still on a break.]
[And Kato Dan, who was about to take over the Minato Squad, did not yet know the news of Ronglinn's impending transfer to Anbu. Ronglin's presence here was also for this reason, and to introduce his new teammates to Kato Dan.]
[Trying to show off, only to get slapped in the face!]
[This was Kato Dan's bitter experience. Because of this, he even more deeply resented Ronglin, believing that Ronglin had the ability but didn't help him, directly pushing all the responsibility onto Ronglin.]
[His injuries finally healed, but then another clear sky turned misty. Because of another argument, he and Tsunade completely broke up. When Tsunade said that everyone would go their separate ways from now on, Kato Dan's world almost collapsed.]
[Thus, Ronglin gained a new "burden." In Kato Dan's view, his reaching this point with Tsunade was entirely due to Ronglin. If it weren't for Ronglin, none of this would have happened, and he would have been the one to embrace the beauty.]
[This directly led to the conflict when Ronglin brought the two newcomers.]
[The two newcomers were chosen by the Third Hokage. Their strength was not bad, and they complemented Kato Dan well. However, this meant the Minato Squad's strength would directly decline. Not everyone could be as abnormal as Ronglin and Minato.]
"Ronglin, you're not a newcomer anymore, why do you have no concept of time? You're a full hour late!!!"
With various factors accumulating, leading directly to Ronglin's leisurely arrival, Kato Dan seized the opportunity to lash out.
It was currently his rest period. If it weren't for the Third Hokage's order, Ronglin absolutely would not have brought two newcomers to meet Kato Dan, nor would he have personally informed Kato Dan that he was leaving and that the Minato Squad would soon be disbanded.
Yet, he hadn't expected that the moment he arrived, Kato Dan would use it as an excuse to make trouble for him.
This guy must have been holding it in for a long time!
Looking at Kato Dan, who was sternly lecturing him, Ronglin sneered inwardly. Kato Dan had always found him an eyesore. When Minato was still around, there wasn't much conflict between them. But as Ronglin gradually displayed his strength, it made Kato Dan not dare to act recklessly.
Strictly speaking, Kato Dan was just a medical ninja. In terms of combat strength, he would die miserably.
And now, the breakup with Tsunade became the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing Kato Dan to brazenly attack Ronglin without reservation.
"What's it to you?!"
Facing Kato Dan, who was self-righteously acting like a senior trying to educate him, Ronglin replied indifferently.
Don't even say I'm no longer part of the Minato Squad. Even if I were, it wouldn't be your place, Kato Dan, to lecture me. Are you qualified?
Flipping his wrist dismissively, Ronglin looked at his fingernails and said nonchalantly:
"Even if someone were to lecture me, it wouldn't be you, Kato Dan, would it? Excuse me, who do you think you are?"
"Uh, this…"
The two newcomers who arrived with Ronglin exchanged glances, puzzled as to why a conflict had erupted the moment they met. Was the old Minato Squad always like this? This was too crazy.
"Uchiha Ronglin!! What kind of attitude is that? I am your senior!! And your captain, do you have any manners left at all?!!"
Ronglin's words and his utterly nonchalant attitude instantly caused the already displeased Kato Dan to erupt like a volcano.
"Captain?"
Ronglin seemed to have heard a joke, and sneered dismissively. He raised a finger and pointed at Kato Dan.
Kato Dan was greatly surprised, but quickly calmed down. He believed Ronglin wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him. Firstly, he was now the captain of the Minato Squad. Secondly, this was in the village, and the village had strict rules against harming comrades; otherwise, it was a severe crime!!!
It's a pity that Kato Dan didn't know that, many times, these rules also varied from person to person, not to mention that Ronglin was no longer a member of the Minato Squad.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to hit me? Do you dare to disregard the village's existence, disregard Lord Hokage's existence?"
Ronglin merely raised his hand, making no further move. Kato Dan's anxious heart dropped back into place. He loudly rebuked, seeing his ability to adapt to circumstances as truly transcendent.
With a cold chuckle, the corner of Ronglin's mouth curved slightly: "Tsk tsk, I must say, your ability to adapt to circumstances is not bad. I won't casually go against the village's will, nor will I go against Lord Hokage's orders, but there's one thing you still don't know."
...
...
"What?" Kato Dan's brows furrowed deeply.
"That is, I'm no longer a member of the Minato Squad. I brought two newcomers here today because of the Hokage's order, but you made me very displeased. What now?"
How is that possible!!!
Why did he not receive any news at all!!!
Kato Dan was greatly shocked. Only then did he realize that there were two people following Ronglin, not just one!!!
"You made me very displeased. This very second, I truly dislike you, so..."
Ronglin's hand remained raised, pointing at Kato Dan, his index finger circling once: "So I've decided to make you displeased."
"You dare!"
Having spent several months together in a squad, Kato Dan was very clear about how strong Ronglin was. Aside from the Mangekyo Sharingan and Ronglin's Time ability, he knew he was absolutely no match for Ronglin. If they were to fight, he would only suffer.
"Why wouldn't I dare?!!"
The smile on Ronglin's face continued to widen, finally revealing a mouthful of neatly aligned white teeth. What was originally a sunny and handsome smile turned sinister and terrifying in Kato Dan's eyes. At that moment, Kato Dan regretted it. He regretted lashing out at Ronglin.
