If Black Scale dared to make all sorts of demands and act arrogantly towards Rong Lin like Manda did, it would die a miserable death. In the past, Rong Lin could only contend with it using the power of time, but now, it was as easy as pie for Rong Lin to abuse it.
Now, Black Scale was Rong Lin's little obedient pet. If he told it to go east, it wouldn't dare go west. If he told it to climb a slope, it wouldn't dare go down a ditch.
"Roar!"
This was the first time Rong Lin had brought it into battle after subduing it. Black Scale was extremely excited, its enormous body rampaging across the battlefield. The unprepared Sand Ninja were directly victimized, many crushed to death by Black Scale's massive body.
A sweep of Black Scale's massive tail could cause large numbers of casualties.
The battlefield was in utter chaos due to Black Scale's rampage. The Konoha Ninja stared blankly at the giant snake, which looked as if it were having an epileptic fit, and at Rong Lin standing on its head.
"Uchiha Rong Lin!!!"
Chiyo, commanding on the front lines, uttered with hatred.
It was Uchiha Rong Lin again. Every time he appeared, nothing good ever happened, and this time was no exception. The Sand Ninja were caught off guard. In less than two minutes, the number of Sand Ninja killed by Black Scale had exceeded two hundred. With Rong Lin assisting from the side, the casualties continued to increase.
"Stop!!!"
Several figures rapidly rushed out from the Sand Ninja side, heading straight for Black Scale and Rong Lin. These people were all elite Jonin. Rong Lin, leading Black Scale on a rampage, made these individuals unable to sit still. They all rushed out under Chiyo's command.
"How boring."
Seeing the other side send out a group of elite Jonin to target him, Rong Lin looked at the Sand Ninja being chased to their wits' end by Black Scale and pouted.
Needless to say, Sandstorm was also lurking in the dark; that guy specialized in assassination.
Last time, Sakumo Hatake almost fell into their trap. These elite Jonin who rushed out were merely bait. If a group of elite Jonin could eliminate Rong Lin, Chiyo would still be very willing to make such a trade, even if the Sand Ninja side would suffer heavy losses as a result.
But Rong Lin's threat was too great. Chiyo would even endure significant losses to suppress him.
"Since that's the case, then farewell everyone. I'll play with you again next time."
Rong Lin clearly understood what schemes the other side was playing. He wouldn't give them a chance and directly withdrew. The giant Black Scale, however, was somewhat unsatisfied, but being surrounded by several elite Jonin, it could only choose to retreat. Without Rong Lin's support, it couldn't hold on for long.
Although its strength was fierce, Black Scale was not a Tailed Beast and couldn't withstand the siege of too many people. Conceding was a helpless move.
Letting Black Scale return to its living space, Rong Lin laughed heartily as he left the position. His mission was to cover the retreat for the Konoha Ninja. Now that the mission was complete, casualties were reduced, and the other side still wanted to scheme against him. Rong Lin naturally retreated directly. As for the heroic feat of one person fighting an entire village? That was just for thinking about.
Of course, if Rong Lin's strength reached that level, he wouldn't mind going crazy, but not now. What good would it do to kill many Sand Ninja if he couldn't influence a war and put himself in danger? Rong Lin would never do such a foolish thing.
"Bastard!!!"
Rong Lin retreated immediately, leaving no room for negotiation, causing Chiyo to curse loudly, disregarding her image.
A great opportunity for pursuit was thus interrupted by Rong Lin's appearance. How could Chiyo not be angry?
One must know that the Puppet Force was not invincible; it also had significant limitations. Continuously wearing down the opponent and increasing casualties would tip the scales of victory in their favor. But now, all the advantages were gone, and many of the pursuers were killed by Black Scale.
Black Scale's enormous body, a hundred meters long and ten meters thick, was no joke on a densely populated battlefield. A sweep of its tail could wipe out a large number of people.
Originally, not so many people would have died, but with Rong Lin's presence, everything changed.
However, when those Sand Ninja tried to evade Black Scale's attacks, they suddenly discovered in terror that their bodies either couldn't move or their speed instantly became slower than a turtle's. Although this state would only last for two seconds, unfortunately, two seconds were enough for them to die several times over.
Although Black Scale's body was huge, its speed was incredibly fast, even more exaggerated than Orochimaru's Manda. However, Manda's head-on collision seemed stronger than Black Scale's, a fact Rong Lin learned from Black Scale itself...
With such cooperation, a large number of the Sand Ninja who were originally pursuing the Konoha Ninja were killed, causing Chiyo immense heartache. Yet, she could only watch Rong Lin swagger away, not daring to pursue.
They all knew the consequences of pursuit. As soon as they were far from the Puppet Force, the Konoha Ninja would launch a counterattack. Coupled with Rong Lin's threat, the Sand Ninja could only watch Rong Lin swagger away.
"Lord Rong Lin is invincible!"
The Konoha Ninja cheered with joy. As the war continued, Rong Lin's reputation steadily grew.
Invincible, this was almost everyone's impression of him. Since the outbreak of the war, he had been through countless battles, yet no one had ever seen Rong Lin defeated or injured. This made the Konoha Ninja admire Rong Lin even more; in their eyes, Rong Lin had almost become synonymous with victory.
Amidst countless cheers, Rong Lin realized that he actually enjoyed this adulation, but with too many concerns, he had been mostly in a state of restraint, only bursting out after the war escalated.
"This kid is really something. He's making the Kage look bad."
The war entered a period of temporary cessation. Apart from small-team skirmishes in other areas, the main battlefield entered a period of rest and reorganization, allowing both sides to catch their breath and make more arrangements. At this time, both sides would tacitly quiet down.
Watching Rong Lin receive endless cheers among the crowd, Sakumo Hatake admired the Third Hokage's foresight more and more. From the initial Sannin to Minato, and now Rong Lin and Kakashi, almost none of them were simple individuals, especially Rong Lin.
"Yes, I just hope the Uchiha Clan won't become conceited because of this," Jiraiya sighed. The Uchiha Clan had always been a source of worry for the village. They were part of the same village and comrades, yet there was always concern about their growth and potential for disruption.
"Perhaps. Who knows about these things? Maybe everything will change in his hands, right?" Sakumo Hatake answered with a smile.
Jiraiya paused, then burst out laughing: "You're right, maybe it will change, but who can be certain about the future?"
