Can anything be more absurd than this?
If this got out, it would surely make people die of laughter, but Jiraiya really did something this absurd.
Rong Lin was utterly speechless. If you didn't like it, you could have just refused!
Everyone was here, and he just ran away after everything was set up. How could he face himself, how could he face Sakumo Hatake? Rong Lin could completely imagine Sakumo Hatake's incredibly expressive face when he arrived at the front line and had to accept everything.
You couldn't even find a good excuse, because by then Jiraiya would be back, and with a pat on the butt and a "I was out on a very important mission," he could dismiss you.
Looking at the pile of documents and communication scrolls on the table, Rong Lin felt his brain was about to explode. He knew that when he was in college in his previous life, he should have learned more about management.
"My lord, this needs your attention, this needs your signature, and the allocation of these squads needs your handling."
Jiraiya's temporary assistant kept pushing documents onto the table, constantly muttering. Rong Lin couldn't believe how a grown man could have so much nonsense to say.
"Enough!!!"
Rong Lin immediately raised both hands in surrender: "Take all those messy documents away from me. You handle the personnel assignments; don't ask me, asking me is useless.
I'm not familiar with these aspects. You've been managing, so you handle it. Also, bring me all the documents that need my signature, and write me a report! I'm going to complain about this bastard!"
"Yes..."
The assistant's mouth twitched, and he quickly got to work.
Watching the pile of documents shrink, Rong Lin sighed in relief. Thankfully, he was smart enough to just let this stuff go. If he had to handle it himself, it would be the death of him.
It's not that Rong Lin didn't understand anything, but rather that Jiraiya just left directly. What could he do? He could only stare blankly at a pile of documents.
And the allocation of those small squads, if he didn't get some hands-on experience for a while, he wouldn't even be able to distinguish who was who. How could he make arrangements, damn it!
The number of Konoha shinobi added up to fifty or sixty thousand. Rong Lin only knew a small fraction of them, those who frequently appeared in the village, and a small part of the Anbu. There were many other shinobi who hadn't returned to the village for years. Such a large number of people, it would be a mess to arrange them.
Fortunately, Jiraiya had made arrangements before. Konoha initially adopted a defensive approach to engage the enemy, so not too many arrangements were needed. Otherwise, this would definitely drive Rong Lin insane!
He must complain about him!
This time, he absolutely cannot be let off the hook!
Even if he invited me for drinks and meals, I wouldn't forgive him. I'm not drinking, dammit!!
Rong Lin was so tormented that his head was bigger than two. And what was our handsome Jiraiya doing?
He had already infiltrated the Land of Wind with several elite jonin.
"My lord, isn't what we're doing unreasonable? You're the chief commander, and you just left? It doesn't conform to regulations. If Lord Hokage knew..."
The people who came out with Jiraiya were anxious, but anxiety was useless. Jiraiya just said directly, "Are you coming or not? If not, I'll go by myself," which immediately made them lose their temper.
At this moment, all three looked at Jiraiya with difficulty, hoping he would change his mind.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What doesn't conform to regulations?"
Is there a regulation that says a commander cannot leave when there's a mission that requires his personal handling?
Jiraiya, however, didn't feel worried about this at all. He directly retorted, blocking all their words. The three elite jonin who came out with Jiraiya stared wide-eyed, struggling for a long time. All the words they had prepared to persuade Jiraiya were blocked back.
Sigh, when we go back, we have to figure out how to deal with that kid! It's really a bit troublesome!
Compared to any regulations, Jiraiya was more concerned with how to deal with Rong Lin, whom he had once again inconvenienced.
But what he never expected was that this time, Rong Lin was seriously angered by him, directly complaining about him in a report. Presumably, the report had basically reached Konoha. If Jiraiya knew, his face would definitely turn as black as a pot.
All kinds of intelligence were sent to the village at the fastest speed. Those special battle eagles flew to Konoha in just a few hours, delivering the latest intelligence.
The war completely erupted, and the entire Konoha began to operate like a war machine.
In the conference room of the Hokage's office, many Konoha higher-ups and the heads of various great clans gathered here, discussing.
Information reports kept coming in, some good, some bad.
"Report, Lord Hokage, Lord Uchiha Rong Lin has sent intelligence, saying that Lord Jiraiya will abandon the camp and go out to perform a mission, and his tracks have already disappeared."
The originally lively conference room fell silent. Everyone thought they had misheard. What kind of ghostly intelligence was this?
Commander Jiraiya ran away?
"Uh, you, read the report again."
Tsunade, who was busy running around, waved her hand and asked the other party to read it again. She thought she was having an illusion. Did Jiraiya run away?
"Yes! Lord Tsunade!!!"
After the communication ninja read Rong Lin's report about Jiraiya again, some gasps of cold air were even heard in the conference room. Of course, this was limited to a few clan heads who didn't understand Jiraiya very well. As for others, although they felt shocked and absurd, they didn't show any panic, as if this kind of thing was generally acceptable.
"En, if that's the case, then who is handling the war affairs?"
The Third Hokage was the calmest, because at this time, no matter how speechless or angry he was, he could only cover for Jiraiya. Not to mention whether Jiraiya really had a mission that required him to go out, even if he didn't, he could only grit his teeth and say "Yes!!!"
"Uchiha Rong Lin is handling it."
"How much longer until Sakumo Hatake reaches the front line?"
"Because some supplies need to be escorted, it will take three days."
"I understand. You may go. Reply to Uchiha Rong Lin and tell him to hold on. Sakumo Hatake will reach the front line soon and take over."
After thinking about it, the Third Hokage said calmly.
"Yes!" The communication ninja immediately retreated to reply to Rong Lin.
"Alright, let's continue." After glancing at everyone, the Third Hokage said.
Everyone nodded and continued the previous meeting. Only Tsunade couldn't help but twitch her mouth, sighing.
